Chapter 29: Immortal Burial Town

To the east of Zangxian Town, the two-hundred-foot-wide Sui River falls down as if it were breaking off, forming a spectacular cliff waterfall, like a giant dragon’s severed head, hence the name “Shalongkou”.

The Jiuli tribe salvaged the alien coffin from the Blood Sea Coffin Dock, and had to carry the coffin through the extremely dangerous Death Spirit Mist Region for 200 miles, and then climb up the steps along the path to the Dragon Killing Mouth. Only here could they board the long-prepared warships and transport the alien coffin to the various tribes and cities downstream.

After Shi Jiuzhai stepped into the Burial Immortal Town, the gray mist covering the three of them dissipated.

"Bang! Bang!"

Li Weiyi and Gao Huan fell to the ground.

…

"Respectfully welcome our Master!"

"Xing Wanxing", "Fang Tong" and "Yan Qingqing", three martial arts masters in the Wolf King's army, hurried forward and paid their respects to Shi Jiuzhai.

The three of them led more than a thousand soldiers and arrived at Zangxian Town one day earlier than Shi Jiuzhai. They had killed all the more than 200 Jiuli tribesmen who had stayed in the town to be responsible for reception, meals, resupply and mooring of boats. The corpses piled up into a bloody hill in the center of the town.

Xing Wanxing is one of Shi Jiuzhai's ten disciples and also one of his moneybags. He is not tall but has a big belly. He said with a smile, "Everyone who needs to be interrogated has been interrogated clearly. The people who went to the sea of ​​blood to retrieve the coffin this time are from the Cangli tribe, one of the Nine Li tribes. They are led by Li Songlin, the best master of the Cangli tribe in this sixty years, and accompanied by Cangli, who is known as the best person of the Cangli tribe in the past thousand years."

"I only care about how much money I can make this time." Shi Jiuzhai said.

Xing Wanxing had already calculated it clearly: "Li Songlin brought 5,000 people with him. He must have retrieved at least 1,000 coffins. If they were all taken away, selling them for a million yuan would be a conservative estimate."

"It is said that coffins from other worlds are incredibly expensive, and that they are things that only great monks can afford. It is indeed priceless and a huge profit with no investment." Shi Jiuzhai was in a good mood.

Xing Wanxing smiled and said, "If there is a rare coffin from another world, one of them can be sold for a million Yongquan coins, which can be converted into silver coins, which is 100 million."

"In addition, in the Jiuli tribe, only the future tribe leader is qualified to use the tribe's name. If we can capture Cangli, won't the Cangli tribe obediently pay another million yuan to redeem him?"

Shi Jiuzhai was in a better mood, thinking that although the journey was long and arduous, it was worth it!

Yan Qingqing was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a plump and graceful figure and charming eyes. She was a dog-like deformed human with furry ears and a fiery red tail hanging from her skirt.

She reminded him coquettishly: "Master, the main purpose of our trip is not for money."

"Who said it's not for money? Being a teacher is all about money."

Hundreds of millions of silver coins, not to mention that Shi Jiuzhai would be jealous and anxious, even the leaders of Longmen and Zuoqiu, who dominate an entire state and have tens of millions of followers, would definitely be pleased with it.

How can we support such a large army without food and wages?

…

After Li Weiyi was thrown to the ground by Shi Jiuzhai, he immediately stood up and found that he and three other people had gone to a distance to discuss something secretly.

So, he quickly glanced around and observed his surroundings.

All around were strong men wearing brown monk robes and holding weapons. There were also a small number of tall and huge half-beast, half-human monsters, accounting for only about 10% to 20%, and they all looked ferocious.

But when they looked at the two of them, they were either confused or in awe.

Li Weiyi quickly came up with an idea. He pretended to be arrogant and fierce, and waved to one of the sturdy men who looked timid: "That's right. It's you, come here!"

Although Gao Huan didn't understand what Li Weiyi was saying, he felt that his demeanor, behavior, and tone were too arrogant, and his heart was about to jump out of his chest with fear.

The timid man came up and immediately put on an apologetic smile, feeling even more nervous than Gao Huan.

Li Weiyi pointed his thumb at Shi Jiuzhai in the distance and asked, "Do you know who we are?"

"I know, I know." The timid man said repeatedly.

Li Weiyi asked, "You know, why don't you tell me?"

The timid strong man had no idea who he and Gao Huan were. They were all temporarily transferred from the Earth Wolf King's army and traveled thousands of miles. They only arrived at the Burial Immortal Town yesterday.

The timid strong man was of course not really timid, but he was afraid of Shi Jiuzhai who was behind the two men, so he avoided Li Weiyi's gaze just now.

Could the person brought back by King Jiuzhai with his magic cloud be an ordinary person?

The timid man knew he couldn't afford to offend, so he told the truth: "We all arrived yesterday, and we spent the whole night cleaning and setting up. We haven't had time to make arrangements yet. Forgive me for my poor eyesight, but I really don't know your identity. But to be able to travel with King Jiuzhai, you must be an extraordinary person that we can only look up to."

Li Weiyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and patted the timid man on the chest: "That's good to know. We two are the personal followers of the Jiuzhai King. Is there anything to eat?"

“Yes, yes…”

The timid strong man hurried to get it.

Li Weiyi pulled Gao Huan along and followed.

He didn't want to be active under the nose of that King Jiuzhai, otherwise he would be exposed sooner or later.

Fortunately, Shi Jiuzhai was meeting with a top-secret guest to discuss the various arrangements for snatching the coffin from the alien world, so he had no time to pay attention to these two "little wolf cubs".

This top-secret guest wore a silver robe and a white coat, and a black Buddha-head mask. Judging from his handsome figure and his delicate white hands holding the flute, he must be quite young.

But even such a young man, facing the feared Shi Jiuzhai, stood with his hands behind his back, and his eyes and attitude were not arrogant, but he was not afraid at all.

He said, "The Sect Master's intention is not only to seize the coffin, but also to kill them all. Only by doing it bloody enough can we provoke chaos in Lizhou."

Shi Jiuzhai only wanted to make money, and frowned: "You nobles with millions of families are more ruthless than us thieves. Before, you didn't say you wanted to kill them all. This includes Li Songlin, the leader of the Cangli tribe, and 5,000 people..."

The distinguished guest with the Buddha head mask laughed and said, "Why, you don't dare anymore? Are you afraid of provoking those old monsters in Jiuli Mountain and Jiuli City?"

Shi Jiuzhai shook his head: "What I mean is that there is a price for robbing a coffin and a price for killing someone. You have to pay extra!"

…

Led by the timid strong man, Li Weiyi and Gao Huan had a hearty meal in the simple fire camp of the Earth Wolf King Army and were very satisfied with the meal.

All strength and mental fighting spirit are restored instantly.

Gao Huan was packing his things frantically in preparation for his escape, and he whispered, "We just passed by the center of the town, where blood flowed like a river and corpses piled up like a mountain. It was so scary! These people are definitely not Buddhists. We have to get away as soon as possible."

Li Weiyi said: "The robes they are wearing are similar to monks' robes. They are all new and must have been made recently. It is because they know that only they will wear such robes that the King of Jiuzhai mistook us for him."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"If my guess is correct, the three people eaten by the Thousand-Headed Dragon Vine are probably the three people sent out to investigate."

"Also, although they call themselves the Earth Wolf King Army, I think their military discipline is lax, they all have a fierce aura, and their strength is even more uneven. They don't look like a formal army."

"Third, I've observed along the way that all the roads in this deserted market town are blocked. It's probably not that easy for us to escape without being noticed. If we are discovered... then even our capital of relying on the power of the tiger will be gone."

Gao Huan exclaimed: "On the way here, all I could think about was food. I didn't expect you to have observed so much."

"It's more than that."

Li Weiyi continued, "They hid in this market town, they must be planning to target the coffin-carrying team. I calculated their speed just now on the hillside, it will take at least two hours to get here."

Gao Huan said: "I know! After two hours, when they start fighting, it will be our chance to escape."

"That's right."

After thinking for a while, Li Weiyi said, "But there is still one thing I don't understand. How could they hide so many people in the market town? There must be experts in the coffin-carrying team. Experts have extremely sharp perceptions."

Shi Jiuzhai came to the foot of the pile of corpses in the center of the town, formed seals with his hands, and spit out a gray mist of magic power from his mouth, covering the area. At the same time, a nearly transparent bead flew out of his body along with the gray mist and hovered above the town.

"boom!"

Shi Jiuzhai's palm suddenly struck the ground.

The flaming magic power rushed into the ground. In an instant, the ground within a radius of dozens of feet was burning, and heat waves surged to the streets of the town.

The blood from the mountain of corpses rose up like wisps of red smoke, rushing towards the bead in the air.

After all the blood and energy were absorbed, translucent scriptures burst out from the beads. Soon, the entire Burial Immortal Town was shrouded in the scriptures.

"Pass the order down. Wait until half of the people from the Cangli tribe come up, and then take action. Cut the coffin-carrying team in two. Kill them all, leaving no one alive." Shi Jiuzhai spoke in an arrogant and intimidating manner, with an extremely cold tone.

The Huotouying Camp is not too far from the center of the town. When Li Weiyi heard Shi Jiuzhai's order, his face turned extremely ugly.

Only then did they realize that the timid strong man was not timid at all, but was clearly afraid of Shi Jiuzhai's cultivation and murderous nature, so he was also afraid of the two of them who followed Shi Jiuzhai.

"Kill them all. Leave no one alive. How many people are they going to kill?"

After Gao Huan learned about this, he said in frustration: "I suddenly feel that if you want to survive, it is equally cruel no matter where you are. You can either work like an ox or be slaughtered like a pig. The only way to live is to stand out from the crowd."

…

Two hours later.

The vanguard of the Cangli tribe's coffin-carrying team has arrived below the Shalongkou Waterfall.

The water roars and the air is humid.

A barefoot girl, as beautiful as a night mist elf, walked at the front of the team, holding an ancient copper lamp that emitted a faint blue fluorescent light with her five slender jade fingers. On her wrists, she wore nine silver bracelets.

Although she was barefoot, her skin was as if made of jade and she was not afraid of the gravel on the ground.

Every step he took was light and silent, yet he could cover a distance of more than ten feet, with a trace of blue mist flowing under his feet.

She is Li Ling, the "Guide of the Dark Light" in the coffin-carrying team of the Cangli tribe. She is the descendant of a priest and can use the dark light to find the way through the Mist of the Dead Souls, thus leading the tribe to reach and leave the Blood Sea Coffin Dock.
