Chapter 114
Zhang Yifan did not doubt Cheng Hui.
The main reason is that the Xuan corpse and the cultivator have a relationship in which they prosper and suffer together.
Unless Cheng Hui is out of his mind, it is impossible for him to pose any threat to his master.
Zhang Yifan attached great importance to the news conveyed by Cheng Hui.
Especially when it comes to the remains of immortals, it cannot be overemphasized.
He pondered for a while, and finally decided to withdraw.
Being able to enter the ancient tomb this time was an unexpected gain. He also gained something in the ancient tomb. As long as he practiced in seclusion after getting out, he would be able to enter the Golden Elixir stage in less than a year.
For him, the price of the immortal's remains is too high. In the case that there might be problems with Zeng Ji, he simply cannot compete with those Jindan cultivators. Rather than taking such a big risk and getting nothing in the end, it is better to quit while he is ahead.
He sent a message to his fellow students and agreed on a meeting place.
After waiting for about a day, there were still three people who had not shown up.
No one knew what happened to these three people. After discussing with several other junior brothers, Zhang Yifan left a message for each of them. The message contained the mantra for leaving. As long as they were still alive, they would definitely see it.
Following the instructions, the group quickly found the way out.
Before leaving, Cheng Hui looked back in the direction of the village, feeling a sense of regret...
——Aaaaaah, I will never see those furry little cuties again! QAQ
When Lin Qingyang was around, he was jealous because he couldn't go to RUA. Now that Lin Qingyang was in seclusion, it was time for him to leave again...
Thinking back to the days when he was overwhelmed by the cute furry creature, Cheng Hui really had the urge to go back and stay with him for another half a month.
Oh, by the way, now the furry ones’ fur has turned into sweaters, and he can’t RUA them anymore.
Cheng Hui: ...
That's fine.
Cheng Hui, Zhang Yifan and others left the ancient tomb together. Before they left, a huge roar was heard from the tomb.
The ground trembled slightly, and even from such a distance, one could feel the change in the terrain.
Zhang Yifan looked solemn as he gazed into the distance. The direction from which the vibration came was exactly the glacier where he was originally. The fact that it could be heard so far away showed how drastic the change was. No matter how powerful a cultivator was, he was still within the realm of a human being. Even a Jindan cultivator might not be able to withstand such a change.
"Let's go." Zhang Yifan turned around decisively and left with these disciples.
Among these people, there were those he brought from the Corpse Puppet Sect, as well as local Corpse Puppet Sect disciples.
Since he brought people out, he must be responsible for bringing them back. As for the remaining three, he can only hope that they will not be blinded by greed, otherwise...
…
A group of people appeared in an empty wilderness. As soon as Zhang Yifan came out, he calculated their location with his fingers and found that they were not far from the mining area. He directly took out a small flying boat.
After everyone got on the flying boat, he controlled the boat and returned to the mining area at an extremely fast speed.
It was already late at night and the workers in the mining area had all gone to rest. The disciple on duty at night was the first to discover the trace of the flying boat. After seeing the mark of the Corpse Puppet Sect on it, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Zhang." The disciple on duty came forward and saw Zhang Yifan at first sight, and immediately showed a look of surprise. "Brother Zhang, you are finally back."
"Well, did anything happen while we were gone?"
"No, the mining area is relatively stable, but..."
"But what?" Zhang Yifan asked with a frown.
The disciple on duty lowered his voice and said, "I feel like someone is spying on us, but we haven't caught anyone yet."
Zhang Yifan immediately understood.
While Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang were busy, he was not idle either. He had seen Zeng Ji's suspicious behavior with his own eyes. Apart from anything else, even the disciples of the Liuguang Sword Sect were waiting for the people from the Tianming Sect to open the ancient tomb. You are a Jindan cultivator from the Shigui Sect, and the other party is digging under your nose. Do you dare to say that you don't know?
It’s hard to say whether others believe it or not, but Zhang Yifan definitely doesn’t believe it.
He couldn't catch Zeng Ji's tail for the time being, nor was it convenient for him to interrogate his fellow disciples, but this did not prevent him from taking action against the disciples of Liuguang Sword Sect.
The two sides were already in a state of hostility, and there was nothing wrong with him attacking those people.
So, while Cheng Hui was busy stroking the fur, Zhang Yifan had already captured two disciples of the Liuguang Sword Sect and found out the truth from them.
Zeng Ji's connection with the Tianming Sect was originally a secret, even unknown to many of the sect's disciples. Unfortunately, he was unlucky. Among those who knew about it was a Tianming Sect elder, who was not very careful. His daughter tricked him into telling her lover.
As a result, the Corpse Puppet Sect was completely kept in the dark about the whole thing, and not many people in the Tianming Sect knew about it. However, the Liuguang Sword Sect, who happened to be waiting behind the scenes, figured out everything.
So, Zhang Yifan also knew that Zeng Ji and Tianmingzong were colluding in private.
Zhang Yifan was speechless about this.
He could understand Zeng Ji's choice, but that didn't mean he would forgive Zeng Ji's betrayal of the sect.
So, after Zeng Ji left the ancient tomb, he immediately contacted the sect to report the matter. As for how to deal with Zeng Ji afterwards, that would depend on the sect's decision.
Zhang Yifan felt that if Zeng Ji had any ulterior motives, he would never come back, and might even disappear from the public eye from now on.
The incident with the ancient tomb was not a big deal. Cheng Hui went down to take a look later. The gate that once existed had disappeared, leaving only a big hole in its place.
Cheng Hui asked Zhang Yifan, and Zhang Yifan told him that it was because the ancient tomb was not originally located here. The gate was not so much a door as it was a coordinate that anchored the mysterious space here.
Now that the mysterious space had undergone a change, this anchored coordinate had apparently been abandoned. If he guessed correctly, perhaps by now, that space had already entered the endless void. With luck, it might still cling to another world and continue to survive. With bad luck, it might be annihilated by the void storm in a few days.
Cheng Hui thought of the tiger village chief and others he had met, and prayed very seriously in his heart, hoping that they could turn the danger into safety.
On second thought, the man at the time was not only a man with a plan that was impeccable, but at least he was a very meticulous and cautious person. Would he allow his descendants to survive by luck?
Cheng Hui vaguely had an epiphany. Perhaps separating this space from the Xuanheng Realm was also one of the immortal's original ideas. In this way, he would not have to worry about those cute furry creatures dying innocently.
The Tomb Incident ended silently.
Just as Zhang Yifan expected, Zeng Ji never appeared again.
The disappearance of the ancient tomb took away a lot of combat power from the Tianming Sect and the Liuguang Sword Sect, but this matter could not be brought to the surface, so the fight between the two sides became more and more intense.
The Corpse Puppet Sect sent a Jindan-stage cultivator to take charge of the mining area. At the same time, they also went to pressure the Tianming Sect and forced them to change their sect leader. Only then did the matter become clear.
There is always a price to pay for betraying the Corpse Puppet Sect. Even though most people have no idea what happened, the elders and senior leaders of the sect were purged, causing the entire Tianming Sect to become panic-stricken.
Cheng Hui, a disciple of the Thirteen Peaks, had always followed Zhang Yifan and witnessed the scene firsthand, proving once again that in the world of cultivation, the stronger the fist, the more powerful it is. Why was the Corpse Puppet Sect so overbearing? How could they force the purge of the entire Tianming Sect's leadership with just one sentence? It was because they were so strong!
Cheng Hui also once again deepened his pursuit of becoming stronger in his heart.
If you want to live freely in the world of cultivation, you can only do it if you have enough strength.
After beating up the Tianming Sect and wrangling with the Liuguang Sword Sect's superior sect, the matter of the Immortal's Ancient Tomb was finally over.
The newly arrived Jindan cultivator was sent here in a time of crisis. He was only here for a short period of time and had no intention of staying here for a long time. The uncle-in-law had a rather cold personality and was also a cultivation maniac. After arriving, he dealt with things in a drastic manner and then told Zhang Yifan that he was going to go into seclusion and not to disturb him unless necessary.
Facing the sealed stone chamber, Zhang Yifan was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He also wanted to practice, he wanted to retreat, he wanted to advance to the Golden Core stage...
But... what can he do? After all, he is his uncle.
In desperation, Zhang Yifan could only pass the buck and throw all these messy things onto Cheng Hui.
Cheng Hui: ???
Are you polite?
The reasons Zhang Yifan gave were also very sufficient. He had already sensed the opportunity for the Golden Elixir. What if he missed this opportunity and failed to break through to the Golden Elixir?
Cheng Hui couldn't argue with him, so he had to take on the heavy responsibility of the job.
As for why you didn’t give it to other junior brothers?
Zhang Yifan said that although they were all junior brothers, there were differences in closeness. The work in the mining area might be a bit hard, but there were also a lot of benefits, and he couldn't just give these benefits to others.
If it were the original Lin Qingyang, he would still worry that his junior brother would be at a disadvantage in appearance and might be bullied, but it doesn't matter if he leaves it to Cheng Hui.
Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang are originally one and the same, which can represent his identity. Moreover, he looks like an adult man, and his own cultivation has broken through the middle stage of foundation building. He is one of the top disciples among those who followed him, so there is no need to worry that he cannot suppress others.
Of course, the most important thing is that although Cheng Hui is a corpse refiner, he has intelligence and rich experience that makes Zhang Yifan very jealous.
He even suspected that Cheng Hui might have awakened his past wisdom, otherwise there was no reason for him to become so calm.
Zhang Yifan, who was envious and jealous of Lin Qingyang, threw all the responsibilities to Cheng Hui and found an empty room to go into seclusion.
He will not come out of seclusion this time until he breaks through the Golden Core stage. This was his original plan, but he had to change it because of Zeng Ji's rebellion.
Now that everything is back on track, Zhang Yifan is not worried at all about what might go wrong with Cheng Hui.
After the previous beating by the Corpse Puppet Sect, if the nearby sects, big and small, had any brains, they would not have picked a fight in the past decade or so. Otherwise, they would have been slapping the Corpse Puppet Sect in the face. At that time, the Corpse Puppet Sect's revenge would not be a simple cleansing and beating, but a complete annihilation of the sect.
Cheng Hui's coming to power did not attract much discussion. After all, strength is respected in the world of cultivation. Cheng Hui's strength is strong enough. Even if he is just a refined corpse, others will not look down on him.
The mining area has its own rules and regulations, and there is not much to worry about on a daily basis. The original disciples are used to doing it, and Cheng Hui only needs to follow the rules to do things well.
He used the rest of his time to practice.
The experiences in the ancient tomb are rare and hard to come by. If you want to improve your cultivation, you must lay a solid foundation from the beginning.
Even if his cultivation speed was slow, combined with the good things he had obtained before, the effect was more than twice as good as that of others.
Before I knew it, three months had passed.
