Chapter 435: Corpse Yin Sect, concubine?
Nether City.
Today is the birthday celebration of the Netherworld Emperor. The already prosperous Netherworld City is now even more crowded. You can see the streets full of cultivators from other places, including humans, immortals, and monsters. Their realms are not low, and the lowest one is the Immortal Emperor.
The ghost-filled Netherworld City is now decorated with lanterns and decorations, but the lanterns they hang are white lanterns with blue ghost fire coming out of them. White blessings are posted on the doors or windows of every household, with various "blessings" such as "may you smile in your grave" and "good luck in the next life".
The ghosts were all walking around the streets with white lanterns in their hands, saying to everyone they met: "May you rest in peace and be free from suffering soon."
This curse that sounded wrong was actually their blessing. Chen Lan was speechless after hearing it: "Aren't they afraid of being beaten?"
If a ghost said this to him, he would definitely be unhappy, but fortunately he has now disguised himself as a ghost, so no ghost will say these words to him at all.
"In the Netherworld, these words that sound like curses are actually blessings. These words have been circulating for millions of years. After many cultivators died, they did not choose to reincarnate. Instead, they chose to come to the Netherworld and become ghost cultivators. These words slowly became facts." Jintian on the side replied.
Chen Lan nodded slightly. He didn't expect such a thing to happen.
"The Corpse Yin Sect is here, get out of the way!"
At this moment, a hoarse voice sounded behind him. Chen Lan turned around and was slightly stunned.
I saw ten of them with yellow talismans on their foreheads, their eyes closed but walking casually as if they could see. Their upper bodies were naked, their bodies looked extremely hideous and terrifying, with dozens of scars. They were also extremely tall, more than three meters tall, with extremely developed muscles, just like those muscular men. They walked towards me with big strides, and the people around them made way for them, with horror and fear on their faces.
Chen Lan retreated silently. It would be best not to cause trouble for now. He still had to sneak into the Netherworld Celebration.
"Jintian, have you heard of the Corpse Yin Sect?"
"I haven't heard of it, but it should be similar to the Corpse Refining Sect a million years ago. I think those corpse puppets are similar to those of the Corpse Refining Sect, but they are much worse. The corpse puppets in the past were very delicate, and it was impossible to tell whether they were corpse puppets or people. They looked real. But these now are too rubbish, not on the same level."
"But this Corpse Refining Sect was destroyed a million years ago, and it has a lot to do with us."
Hearing this, Chen Lan was slightly stunned and looked at Jintian: "Does it have a lot to do with us?"
"Yes, we destroyed the Corpse Refining Sect. They used demons to refine corpses, and you, the Demon Emperor, discovered it. Overnight, you destroyed all the Corpse Refining Sects in the Desolate Heaven Realm, and destroyed all the Corpse Refining Secrets one by one. I didn't expect that a million years later, this secret method that goes against the will of heaven would reappear, but it's just a little worse."
After hearing Jintian's words, Chen Lan was slightly shocked. He didn't expect that he was the one who destroyed the Lianshi Sect. Then the Shiyin Sect was revived. He wondered if they would hold a grudge against him.
Behind the corpse puppets there were many disciples of the Corpse Yin Sect, wearing purple robes and holding yellow bells in their hands. Every time they shook them, the corpse puppets took two steps. Chen Lan took a closer look and found that there were small magic arrays on those bells. This should be the secret of controlling the corpse puppets.
The disciples in the front were all at the level of Immortal Emperor, Heavenly Emperor, and Supreme Emperor, until a few old men came from the back, all of them were at the level of Dao Master. They sat on the shoulders of huge corpse puppets, emitting a strange and terrifying aura.
At the end of the team, there was a creature emitting a strong ghostly aura. It had a rat head, but a body like a Qilin, black scales, and a tail covered with barbs. It was extremely weird. An old man was sitting on its back, emitting the aura of a Taoist saint. He seemed to notice Chen Lan's gaze, looked over, and nodded slightly.
Chen Lan narrowed his eyes slightly. Did this old man see through his cultivation level?
He had concealed his presence long ago, so it was impossible for anyone to notice.
Soon, he noticed that the rat-like mount's nose moved, as if it was smelling something. Jintian at the side gave the answer: "That's a corpse rat. It grows in cemeteries or places with many corpses. Its nose is very sensitive. It can smell all kinds of smells that others can't smell, and can quickly identify that smell. For example, the smells emitted by Dao Saints and Dao Lords are different, and it can smell them all."
Chen Lan suddenly realized that it seemed that the mount told the old man that it was a Taoist saint. After all, there was a spiritual connection between the mount and its owner.
Finally, at the end of the team there was a white sedan chair carried by eight corpse puppets covered with white veils. There were disciples playing suona at the back and white flowers were scattered along the way. The sound of the suona sounded strange and creepy. I wonder if this was a wedding or a funeral.
"The Corpse Yin Sect is going to introduce a concubine to the emperor. I wonder which girl is so lucky."
"I heard that this girl was chosen a while ago, and the Nether Emperor fell in love with her at first sight."
"I'm so envious. Why don't I marry an emperor? Being a concubine would be much more comfortable than now."
"Tsk, don't you look at yourself and still want to marry the emperor? What are you thinking?"
Chen Lan raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the Emperor of the Underworld was so refined that he would choose his own birthday to marry a concubine.
"This kind of thing is common. Almost every Taoist emperor has dozens of concubines." Jintian said with a smile.
"What about me?" Chen Lan asked curiously, wondering if he had dozens of concubines in his first life.
"No, Lord Demon Emperor is very busy, and I have never seen any woman by your side." Jintian sighed. This was a pity, as he was unable to see Lord Demon Emperor get married, nor was he able to see his offspring.

Chen Lan was stunned. Was he also a single dog in his first life? Was it so miserable?
But then again, if he fled to the Desolate Heaven Realm, he would have been lucky to have saved his life, let alone his wife. But in the end, not only did he lose his wife, he also lost his life.
The Corpse Yin Sect's team walked over slowly, and suddenly a gust of cold wind blew, blowing away a corner of the veils of the eight masked corpse puppets. Chen Lan was suddenly stunned. He saw the face of one of the corpse puppets, which was extremely familiar. Was he seeing things?
"Master, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, maybe I saw it wrong. Let's follow the Corpse Yin Sect's team and sneak in." Chen Lan shook his head.
The face just now looked a bit like Li Chunqiu. This veil can block spiritual consciousness, so he must have seen it wrong. I don’t know where Li Chunqiu and Xiaodie were teleported to. I’ll go find them after rescuing Luo Tao.
Afterwards, the two followed the Corpse Yin Sect's team to the venue of the Netherworld Celebration. There were more people and ghosts here than outside, and their strength was very strong. There were Supreme Emperors everywhere, many Dao Lords, and seven or eight Dao Saints.
"If a war breaks out, it will definitely be disadvantageous with so many people. Jintian, you have to set up a teleportation array so that we can leave as soon as possible."
"Yes, Master."
After giving the instructions, Chen Lan continued to follow the people from the Corpse Yin Sect. Instead of searching aimlessly, it would be better to follow them. Perhaps he could find Luo Tao and the others.
