Chapter 1591 - Thousand-person Corpse Ditch (1/2)

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Back when Zhang Ruochen had been reading scrolls about Kunlun’s Field in the Book Fragrance Library, he’d seen through the bookshelf a pair of eyes that left a deep impression. However, she hadn’t seemed to want to interact with him at all back then. She’d put down the book and vanished.

Now, seeing Ji Fanxin’s spirited eyes, Zhang Ruochen immediately recognized that the woman who’d read about the Divine Sky-connecting Tree was her.

Zhang Ruochen was still quite composed, so he calmed down quickly. Various questions rose up within him.

After a pause, Zhang Ruochen took the lead and asked, “What does this have to do with the Thousand Pistil Field?”

Other cultivators all tried to kiss up to Ji Fanxin or pretend to be gentlemanly. They tried their best to find a chance and get closer to her. However, Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were natural and even seemed guarded against her. His question went straight to the point too.

Ji Fanxin felt more relaxed interacting with someone like him.

“This isn’t the place to speak. Come with me.”

Ji Fanxin’s body scattered into a rain of light. Then the specks of light vanished completely before Zhang Ruochen.

He was taken aback, but he quickly smiled. Sniffing softly, he followed Ji Fanxin’s light fragrance and walked out of the Heavenly Capital Saint Market. He reached the edge of Heavenly Capital Mountain.

Heavenly Capital Mountain was a hovering saint mountain. Standing at the edge was like standing at the side of a bottomless cliff. Before him was a vast sea of clouds. Above him were countless dazzling stars.

The surroundings were silent. It seemed that very few cultivators would come here.

Zhang Ruochen stopped. Looking at the sea of clouds and stars, he couldn’t help but praise, “I didn’t think that I could see such a beautiful sight at Heavenly Capital Mountain.”

“The beautiful scene is only the appearance. Who knows what ugly truth is hidden under the thick clouds?”

A rain of light appeared out of thin air and reformed Ji Fanxin’s beautiful figure.

She’d used an unknown tactic earlier to disappear without a trace. Zhang Ruochen couldn’t sense her even with spatial power. If she hadn’t purposely left behind a scent, Zhang Ruochen might not have been able to follow her here.

He couldn’t figure it out, but he didn’t ask.

After all, Ji Fanxin was able to be the leader of a strong world. It was normal for her to have extraordinary tactics.

She wouldn’t tell others about her hidden cards.

Ji Fanxin wore a veil and only revealed a pair of sparkling eyes. She was as beautiful as a fairy under the starlight. “The Yin and Yang Palace is ruled by the Evil Way cultivators of three worlds. They use their powerful forces and cruel ways to capture beautiful girls from the various worlds. They use the girls as objects, slaves, and prost.i.tutes to sell in exchange for saint stones and benefits.

“Many prides of the Thousand Pistil Field have been captured and imprisoned in the Yin and Yang Palace. They’re turned into tools for those demons to make money.”

“You’ve been to the Yin and Yang Palace?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Ji Fanxin shook her head. “No.”

“Then, how do you know that the prides of the Thousand Pistil Field are imprisoned there?”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t believe that any man in the world would tell Ji Fanxin that they’d gone to the Yin and Yang Palace, so he asked out of curiosity.

“Follow me.”

Ji Fanxin jumped off of the Heavenly Capital Mountain and disappeared in the sea of clouds.

Zhang Ruochen unfurled his dragon wings and chased quickly. He flew in the clouds for a long while before finally landing on the ground. He stood at the edge of a ditch with thousands of corpses.

They were all female corpses.

They included women from every race—human, fox, snake, dragon, Luosha, Immortal Vampires and more. Some had already decayed; others were still complete. Their bodies were uncovered and ravaged as if they’d suffered inhuman torture before death.

Zhang Ruochen covered his nose, not wanting to smell that sharp odor. “These corpses?”

“All from the Yin and Yang Palace.” Ji Fanxin’s eyes were sad yet cold. “The corpses of the girls who disappeared from the Thousand Pistil Field can be found here.”

There was a formation outside the thousand-corpse ditch, but Ji Fanxin had used her inscrutable Spiritual Power to open a crack in the formation. This was how she and Zhang Ruochen could enter.

Otherwise, other cultivators might not discover the ditch even if they were close by, let alone break in.

But Zhang Ruochen was still doubtful. “Why doesn’t the Yin and Yang Palace destroy all these corpses? There isn’t any advantage in leaving them here, right?”

“These girls were at least Half-Saints when they were alive,” Ji Fanxin said. “Many were even Saints. Their physical bodies are so strong. How can they decay so quickly?”
