Even if the three of them possess the Mahayana stage of enlightenment, they will still be subject to corresponding punishments.
Furthermore, the three Taoist priests, including Tianji Laodao, had ulterior motives; the immortal corpse itself was a treasure.
If one could obtain a celestial corpse and study the celestial laws contained within, it would be of immense benefit to oneself.
However, the three of them did not have high hopes. The culprit who almost wiped out the entire Xuandao Sect was someone they would hardly be a match for.
"What bad luck! That damned immortal corpse had to come at the exact moment we were giving our sermon," Lingyun Daoist complained.
“Junior brother, this is not the time to complain, but to think about how to deal with it.” Daoist Qingshan sighed.
His face showed worry: "Senior Brother Tianji, what should we do next?"
“This immortal corpse is beyond our ability to fight. We must proceed cautiously and wait for the right opportunity. If the situation becomes unfavorable, we will retreat on our own initiative.” The old Taoist Tianji had a very bad premonition.
Compared to Qingshan Daoist and Lingyun Daoist, Tianji Laodao was proficient in divination.
When he brought the two of them here, he had already consulted a fortune teller.
The divination result is extremely unlucky, indicating that this journey will be more likely to bring misfortune than good fortune.
The old Taoist priest believed it was an extremely ominous sign, and that he might die at the hands of the immortal corpse, becoming its prey.
“Violating sect rules will be punished, but it’s better than losing your life. We’ll do whatever our senior brother says,” Qingshan Daoist nodded and said.
"We'd better not get too close to the immortal corpse, or it will be very difficult to escape later." Daoist Lingyun became increasingly cautious.
Among the three, the Taoist priest Tianji was the oldest, and he became their leader.
Not far away.
"You're all food, none of you will escape!"
The immortal corpse had consumed a considerable amount of blood and its strength had recovered significantly.
He used his sharp claws to rip open a man's stomach, and before the man could even scream, his nascent soul was dug out.
The immortal corpse swallowed the nascent soul whole, chewing it thoroughly before swallowing it into its stomach.
This is just one example; the immortal corpses are constantly devouring those around them.
Some people tried to escape by flying, but a no-fly zone had been set up near the immortal corpse.
No matter how they used their magic, they could not fly into the air.
Running away on foot is too slow; the immortal corpse can easily catch it.
The immortal corpse wasn't joking when he said that no one present could escape; it was a fact.
"Senior brother, if we don't intervene, this immortal corpse has many unhealed wounds, as if it suffered very serious injuries. This is good news for us."
Seeing the disciples of the sect being slaughtered by the immortal corpses, the three old Taoists did not take any action.
"If we could kill this immortal corpse and obtain its flesh and blood, it would be of great benefit to us. It is a complete immortal body." Qingshan Daoist was tempted by greed.
"Junior brothers, don't be in a hurry. We can observe for a while before making a move."
The old Taoist priest was still worried about the divination results and did not take immediate action.
The two Taoist priests from Qingshan were rather greedy, but they managed to control themselves.
Just as the old Taoist priest said, if the immortal corpse was fake, the three of them would be delivering food to their doorstep.
While the three Taoist priests were all planning for themselves, the Taiqing Sect was a living hell.
Countless Taiqing Sect disciples were unable to escape and were devoured by the immortal corpses.
"Ahhh! I don't want to die yet. My cultivation level has only just reached the Nascent Soul stage, and my path of cultivation has only just begun."
"Run! This immortal corpse is too powerful. So much time has passed and our master and the others haven't come. It's not that they didn't come, but that they dared not stop it."
“These masters usually appear righteous and respectable, but in reality they are people with hidden selfish motives. We can only save ourselves.”
...
The ground of Taiqing Gate was stained red with blood, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Many Taiqing Sect disciples dressed in Taiqing attire were disemboweled and their bodies separated.
Because of the immortal corpse, this place has become a living hell.
"Junior brothers, we can make our move now. I've observed this immortal corpse for a long time, and it is indeed injured, and very seriously so." The old Taoist Tianji made up his mind.
Based on his careful analysis, he has confirmed that the immortal corpse is injured.
Otherwise, the immortal corpse wouldn't have devoured even a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Moreover, the immortal corpse was quite satisfied with the food here and did not go to other places to devour stronger beings.
The news that Xuandao Sect had been devoured by the immortal corpse had been largely relayed by an inside source from Taiqing Sect.
Before heading to the Xuandao Sect, the immortal corpse devoured three medium-sized sects, one of whom had a cultivation level of Mahayana.
This allowed the immortal corpse to recover considerably, and after rushing into the Xuandao Sect, it immediately went to devour those at the Mahayana stage.
At this moment, the immortal corpse rushed into the Taiqing Gate and continued the previous steps.
This is also why the old Taoist priest Tianji concluded that the immortal corpse was seriously injured and dared not confront the Mahayana stage directly.
The Taoist of Green Mountain conjured a small, palm-sized, green mountain in his hand and continuously poured his magical power into it.
A small, green hill rose into the air, emitting a dazzling green light, and its size continued to grow.
Powerful cyan laws filled the entire space.
In the time it takes to breathe, the hill has grown to the size of an ordinary palace.
The cyan hill is also a Xuan Tian spiritual treasure, ranking seventieth on the Xuan Tian list.
With a loud "boom!"
The cyan hill hurtled towards the immortal corpse, sending sand and stones flying and dust billowing up on the ground.
"Was it successful?"
The Taoist priest of Qingshan looked excited.
"As expected of him..."
Just as Lingyun Daoist was about to speak, something unexpected happened.
The small green hill began to shake and was quickly pushed apart.
A figure emerged from the gap that had been opened; it was the immortal corpse that had been pressed under the green hill.
The immortal corpse looked quite disheveled at this moment. Its shoulder was broken open, and the bone was visible. Blood kept flowing down from its shoulder.
"You actually dared to ambush me! Do you know how terrible things will be later?" The immortal corpse's smile was sinister and terrifying.
The small green hill had injured him quite a bit, but it wasn't life-threatening.
Furthermore, this body was originally a celestial body, and after being baptized by the celestial pool, its physical strength far surpasses that of ordinary demon ancestors.
"You beast, don't be so arrogant! Today I will destroy you."
The Green Mountain Taoist once again manipulated the green mountain, pressing it down on the immortal corpse.
"Senior brother! I'm here to help you."
Lingyun Daoist unleashed the Lingyun Sword, and terrifying sword intent filled the entire space.
Although the Lingyun Sword is not a Xuan Tian spiritual treasure, its power is in no way weaker than that of an ordinary Xuan Tian spiritual treasure.
The Lingyun Sword also headed towards the immortal corpse, instantly slicing off a piece of flesh.
Under the combined attack of Lingyun Daoist and Qingshan Daoist, the immortal corpse was at a significant disadvantage.
"Could my divination have been wrong?"
The old Taoist priest Tianji had not expected the immortal corpse to be so weak; this was beyond his expectations.
