Chapter 57 A Mummy
…
Xuanming Sect.
The fourth brother collapsed to the ground in shock.
He stared ahead with a pale face and a dull look in his eyes.
But he quickly came to his senses and immediately took a pill for treatment.
Soon, the blood from his left arm, which he had cut off with his own hands, stopped. However, the fact that his left arm was cut off also greatly reduced his cultivation. Even if he encountered an ordinary strong man in the Spiritualization Stage in the future, he would find it difficult to deal with him.
Not to mention the breakthrough to the fusion stage of cultivation. After the arm is broken, the flow of true qi transmitted through the meridians will also be hindered.
This was a huge blow to him!
“That bastard!”
A vicious look flashed in the fourth brother's eyes.
But when he thought about the previous fight, even though it was only a few moves, he felt an extremely terrifying sense of oppression.
The opponent was far superior to him in terms of magic weapons, strength, and even fighting skills.
Even until the end when he used the life-saving magic weapon given to him by the sect master, that guy was able to forcibly twist the teleportation space, and the terrifying aura almost cut into the Xuanming Sect through the teleportation space! "This matter must be told to the sect master as soon as possible." The fourth brother calmed down and thought.
"Old Four?"
Suddenly, three figures walked over.
When they noticed that the fourth brother's left hand had been cut off, a look of horror appeared in their eyes.
"Your hand is broken? Who did it?" The Great Elder leaned over to check, and then spoke with some hatred in his tone.
“Jiang Ming is protected by a master whose strength is unfathomable. Even if I use the sect leader’s life-saving jade slip, I can only break my hand and escape.” The fourth elder said.
"What?"
The three of them looked at each other.
Ye Xuan finally gave each of them a jade slip to avoid any accidents.
And this jade slip was personally handed to them by an elder who helped them to grow the Xuanming Sect! Unexpectedly, even if they used this life-saving jade slip, they still had to cut off their arms to stay alive.
How strong is the opponent? !
"Where is the sect leader?" asked the fourth brother.
"He is still in seclusion, but should be able to come out soon." said the Great Elder.
"Before the sect leader comes out of retreat, I have a plan." A hint of coldness flashed across the fourth brother's eyes.
"What strategy?" asked the Great Elder.
"You will know when the time comes. There is no need for us to take action ourselves." The fourth brother sneered.
"We will decide on other matters after the Sect Master comes out of seclusion. The strong man beside Jiang Ming will definitely be the biggest hidden danger for our Xuanming Sect in the future."
"When the time comes, for the sake of our greater plan, we must eliminate this person!"
After saying this, a fierce look flashed in the fourth brother's eyes.
Not only him, the other three also burst into fierce looks.
Someone who hinders the Xuanming Sect's grand plan.
They will all become their stepping stones!
The Xuanming Sect has reached the top of the continent, and there must be no room for any accidents!
…
After leaving, while everyone was heading towards the back mountain, Jiang Ming walked towards the inner palace filled with a strong aura of death.
Compared to the outside world, there are fewer disciples in the inner court, and more are maids.
What surprised Jiang Ming was that all the maids in the inner palace had a bit of deathly aura about them.
Although it is rare, this deathly aura should not appear on them.
"There is something wrong with this Lin Mansion."
Jiang Ming thought to himself.
Bypassing these ordinary people, Jiang Ming easily arrived in front of the house filled with a strong aura of death.
Looking at the room in front of me, the deathly aura emanating from it alone had already enveloped the entire room.
The overflowing death energy wanted to attach itself to other people like a maggot.
But when these deathly auras just crawled to Jiang Ming's feet, they quickly drilled into the house as if they had encountered something extremely terrifying.
"Such a strong death energy."
Jiang Ming was somewhat surprised to see that this deadly spirit actually wanted to actively harm others.
Jiang Ming had never seen this level of death energy before.
No wonder he saw those maids were full of death when he came here. The deathly aura in this room was even more exaggerated than he had imagined.
So Jiang Ming pushed the door open slowly and walked in.
A strong aura of death surrounded him.
As Jiang Ming took a step forward, the deathly energy around him did not dare to get close to him at all, but dispersed around Jiang Ming in a reflexive manner.
At this time, Jiang Ming noticed that there was a person lying in the room.
It cannot be said to be a person. To be more specific, the most appropriate description is a mummy.
The person lying on the bed had wrinkled skin. Apart from a layer of withered yellow skin, there was almost only a skeleton left. There was no trace of life on his body, but surprisingly, he was still breathing! "This is..." Jiang Ming frowned.
He noticed that the half-dead man lying on the bed seemed to be using a unique secret technique to forcibly maintain his life.
Logically speaking.
People have three souls and seven spirits. The soul and spirit of the living are burning like flames. When the end of time is near, the breath of the soul will burn out, and the death energy will cover the soul, and then death will occur.
But the man in front of him had already burned out his three souls and seven spirits, and the aura of death covered his entire body.
But his soul was actually occupied by death energy. The death energy replaced the soul in an extremely strange situation, leaving him with his last breath.
"Could it be that there is now a demon sect that can perform this kind of evil magic to prolong life?" Jiang Ming frowned.
Everyone has his own destiny.
Whether it is a cultivator or an ordinary person, there is a limit to their lifespan. Even Jiang Ming himself believes that he has a limit.
Relying on some kind of evil magic to stay in the world is against the will of heaven.
Not to mention that this kind of thing of occupying the soul with death energy, keeping a dead person alive, keeping him half-dead and harming the people around him is even more unacceptable than heaven!
Thinking of this, Jiang Ming used his spiritual consciousness to send a voice and asked, "Are you still alive?"
Suddenly, the mummy seemed to tremble.
"Who are you?" asked the mummy.
"I'm just a practitioner passing by." Jiang Ming replied.
"You... can hear my voice?" The mummy was obviously a little surprised.
"You don't need to be surprised. I just want to tell you that this kind of evil magic goes against the will of heaven. Do you know what the consequences will be?" Jiang Ming said.
Hearing this, the mummy was silent for a moment.
"Please forgive me, sir. Actually, I didn't know this technique was so vicious. At the beginning, I just couldn't accept the Golden Core Stage and was only one step away from the Nascent Soul Stage, so I went to Lingyun Sect to seek a way to prolong my life."
"But I didn't expect that the life-extending method I got was actually extracting the true energy in my body, turning me into a half-human, half-ghost appearance."
"That's why I feel that this method is wrong. But now no matter how hard I try to speak, it's useless. I can't even think about dying."
"Since the master can hear me, please grant me death. I don't want to harm the descendants of my Lin family!"
The words conveyed by the mummy were very sincere.
Jiang Ming could understand this feeling.
The feeling of wanting to die but not being able to die is the most painful thing in the world.
"It turned out to be the Lingyun Sect's doing!" Jiang Ming's heart sank.
Since when did the Lingyun Sect, which once stood at the top of the continent, resort to such despicable means?
