"You want to steal the corpse too?"
Lin Che keenly grasped a key point:
"Did they come back and take away all the bodies, or just Cheng Qiuci's?"
"Only one was taken. That was Cheng Qiuci's body."
The palace soldier paused, then quickly said, "If they had just taken the body, it would have been fine. But when those people from Yuxu Palace took the body, they hung strings of copper coins on the body's hands and feet."
"I also practiced Taoist techniques in my time. I've heard rumors that if a warrior reaches the eighth level, their spirit can leave their body. Even if they abandon their physical body, they can still live. One of the methods involves using special Taoist copper coins to seal their limbs. This is called 'Locking the Spirit'."
Lin Che frowned.
He instantly thought that Cheng Qiuci committed suicide in the end.
Why didn't she fight to the death in one final stand?
But she committed suicide and was indeed dead. Her head was cut off, and any ability to "regenerate flesh and blood" would make it impossible for her to be resurrected.
"Go and have a look."
He led everyone out of the main camp and came to the place where the other party's Yuxu Palace corpse was.
Because it was the enemy's body, they threw it outside the camp, and only two people guarded it from a distance to prevent wild animals from taking it away.
Dozens of corpses from the Yuxu Palace were there, except for Cheng Qiuci's.
If the Yuxu Palace really wanted to take away the bodies out of friendship among fellow disciples, they could have sent a few more people and taken away at least a few more.
Why did you only take Cheng Qiuci away?
"Go inform Master Daonu."
Dao Nu is knowledgeable and should know something.
After a while, Dao Nu came quickly with several Shadow Guards.
It was obvious that Dao Nu was still very alert. He stopped ten meters away and asked:
"What's up?"
"Cheng Qiuci's body is missing." Lin Che did not hide anything and asked the palace soldier who had just reported the incident to repeat what happened.
Unexpectedly, Dao Nu had only heard half of it when she raised her eyebrows:
"The Saint—she's the Saint of the previous generation. It's not so easy for each generation of Saints to become one. If the rumors are true, the leader of Yuxu Palace really did resurrect Cheng Qiuci... because the Saint is so valuable. According to rumors, the Saint of Yuxu Palace can give birth to the strongest offspring. She can pass on a portion of her own cultivation to the next generation."
"Rumor has it that the current Jade Void Palace Master was also born to the previous generation of Saintess. He was born at the third level!"
Lin Che's face was gloomy. He still didn't understand this world well enough.
Not only can the temple bestow divine grace, but even a person whose head has been chopped off can be resurrected?
Dao Nu fell into deep thought and added, "But you don't have to worry. Resurrection is not that easy. Everything comes at a price! Even if she is resurrected, her cultivation will be very little, and I'm afraid it will never be able to improve even a little bit."
"I will report this matter truthfully to His Majesty."
After saying that, Dao Nu was about to leave again.
Lin Che hurriedly called out, "Master Dao Nu, there's no need to rush. Let's talk. You've seen what happened today. You and I were both busy with our own things, fighting alone. There's no cooperation at all. We won't be able to reach Yanyun Country this way."
"Oh? What do you want?"
"Let's go and talk in the tent!"
Lin Che told the others not to follow and walked in alone.
Dao Nu thought about it and then walked in resolutely.
Arrived at the tent.
Dao Nu got straight to the point: "What do you want to say?"
"Do you have some prejudice against me? Sit down and have a cup of tea first." Lin Che grabbed the teapot burning on the stove with one hand and started to make tea.
Dao Nu was still very alert and had no intention of sitting down or drinking tea.
"Lin Che, you've disobeyed my orders time and again. You even dared to show your murderous intent towards me. During the time you've been away from Tiandu City, you've exposed your evil ambitions. You're truly audacious."
Lin Che smiled and said, "Do you think you could survive if I really wanted to kill you?"
"That's because you're not sure. Even if I'm seriously injured, you're no match for me." Dao Nu was very confident about this.
"Really? What if I took the Blood Explosion Three-Rising Pill?"
As Lin Che spoke, he placed a small box on the table and gently opened it. Inside was a Blood Explosion Three-Rising Pill.
Dao Nu took a step back and his expression became serious.
One hand was still gently pressing on the sword at his waist: "Lin Che, before you take the elixir, I can kill you with one sword. If you don't believe me, try it."
"I'm afraid of death, so I won't risk my life to challenge Lord Daonu's authority. I just want to tell you that if I really wanted to kill you, I wouldn't lead the troops to support you. I'll wait until you're exhausted, then lead the troops to attack. After I kill you, I can put the blame on Yuxu Palace. Wouldn't that be even better?"
Dao Nu frowned when he heard this, as if Lin Che's words made sense.
If Lin Che hadn't brought his troops here, Chen Pu and the Left Protector would have besieged her together and she would have been in great danger.
"Hmph. What do you want?"
"I don't want to do anything. I just want to make a bet with you."
Lin Che continued to talk to himself and asked, "Have you been sending messages to His Majesty these days? But His Majesty didn't reply to you. Even if he did reply to you, he told you to wait and see what happens. Is that right?"
Dao Nu immediately suspected the Shadow Guard beside him.
Who leaked the news?
But she immediately dismissed her doubts, believing the people she brought with her were definitely the most trustworthy. Furthermore, this kind of information wouldn't cause the Shadow Guard to betray her.
"How do you know? Did the temple's gift allow you to become a Yin-Yang master?"
