Chapter 244: Yin Corpse Tide (1/2)
While the higher-ups of the Great Mountain Alliance were discussing how to deal with the Golden Tooth Sect and the other two sects that had previously joined the Hundred Tempering Mountain, the Shu Mountain Elder sitting on Jiang Li's right suddenly froze.
It was obvious that he had received a temporary message from the outside world.
A moment later, he frowned and interrupted the discussion.
”Alliance Leader Jiang, not long ago, Shu Mountain received a distress message from the Mu family cultivators. It seems that the situation is urgent. Shu Mountain hopes that the Great Mountain Alliance can decide whether to go and rescue them.”
The higher-ups present felt uncomfortable hearing the name of the Mu family.
Many cultivators immediately revealed looks of disdain and disgust.
They had just finished showing off in the Great Mountain Region. Why did they turn around and ask for help?
”Hmph, aren't they the dignified Peach Forest's Mu family of the Eastern Region? Do they still need to seek help from us?”
”A few days ago, the Mu family even threatened and demanded 70% of the medicinal garden's resources! I think this kind of villain with ill intentions should be punished by the heavens now. We shouldn't save him.”
”The people who asked for the protection fee actually want us to protect them now. There's really nothing more absurd than this.”
”Right, let them fend for themselves. They deserve it!”
Most of the cultivators were filled with righteous indignation, especially after they knew that the Mu Clan was only protecting them in name and would not do anything substantial.
The Great Mountain Region's impression towards the Mu family became even worse.
However, there were also people who expressed their worries.
”However, they are the Mu family of the Peach Forest after all. If they die in our Great Mountain Region, will it cause revenge?”
”That Mu Chunyang is the son of the Mu family's head. If something really happens, they won't let it go.”
This worry was reasonable and no one could refute it.
After all, even Shenshan Jianyi was afraid of the Mu family and did not dare to kill them.
It was fine for these descendants of the family to be beaten up outside, but if someone really died, the Mu family would step forward no matter what. They had just gotten into a conflict with them on the territory of the Great Mountain Region, so it was difficult for them not to take the blame.
”Where did they encounter trouble?”
The others were all concerned about whether they should save the Mu family.
However, what Jiang Li was concerned about was what had happened to them. How did it happen?
”It's in the Mother River. The exact location seems to be the place where the Golden Core zombie demon was at.”
”Moreover, they said that Elder Zuo Luo, who is still missing, is also there…”
Everyone fell into deep thought when they heard this. How could an ordinary river that had not been famous for thousands of years cause a Soul Formation cultivator, five Nascent Soul cultivators, and a Golden Core cultivator to fall there?
There was also the abnormal massacre of the two Golden Core cultivators from Shu Mountain. It was actually related to that river.
The Shu Mountain elders were even more regretful. They had clearly sent people to check the Mother River again. Why had they not discovered any problems?
Clearly, there was something hidden under this river.
Jiang Li's face was expressionless, but he sighed in his heart. Had the underwater graveyard been discovered after all?
The Mu Family of the Peach Forest was indeed related to the Nine Nether Wood. Previously, they were so hostile to him mostly because of this.
He took out a dried piece of wood and rubbed it in his hand.
However, even he did not expect the Mu family to really have the ability to find the underwater graveyard so quickly.
Regarding the underwater graveyard and the other branch of the Nine Nether Wood, he had to go there no matter what.
”No one should know the terrain of the Great Mountain Region better than us.”
”There are very few places that can pose a threat to Soul Formation cultivators. Regardless of whether we provide help or not, we have to investigate the Mother River.”
”In addition, Shu Mountain should have already sent sword cultivators there.”
Jiang Li looked at the Shu Mountain Elder and indeed nodded.
After Elder Zuo Mo was captured and sent back to Shu Mountain, Shu Mountain must have discovered something wrong with him.
He originally did not believe that the two elders would do such a thing, but now, he discovered some clues.
With Shu Mountain's nature, they naturally wanted to find out everything no matter what and prove the innocence of the two elders.
It would have been fine if the Mu family cultivators had not said the last sentence. However, they also knew that they had offended the Great Mountain Region tomorrow, so they emphasized in their distress that Elder Zuo Luo had also fallen there.
They had sent Elder Zuo Mo back earlier and the credibility of their words was not low. After receiving such news, Shu Mountain would definitely not stand by and watch.
However, the danger in the Mother River was too much. If they were not prepared, Jiang Li was afraid that they would be trapped there as well.
At that time, after consuming the Nine Nether Earth Fruits, the Great Mountain Region would be in danger.
There were several reasons, but Jiang Li had to intervene in this troublesome matter no matter what.
However, before Jiang Li could decide, his Alliance Leader Token started burning again.
With a thought, he connected and received several distress signals.
The only ones who could directly contact him was the Sect Masters of the Great Mountain Alliance's sects.
Furthermore, without any emergencies, small sects were not allowed to contact each other casually.
He read the information. A small sect called the Three Seal Sect sent an emergency call for help.
The other clans near the Mother River also sought help at the same time.
Their distress message indicated that a large number of Yin Corpse Monsters had crawled out of the Mother River and were currently attacking their encampment.
Their strength was limited, the current situation already reaching a critical state. That was why they sent out a cry for help from the Great Mountain Alliance.
It seemed that the branch was planning to make a big move this time!
”Gather the disciples of the alliance immediately and get the nearby sects to prepare in advance to resist the enemy.”
”Contact the various large sects and send out top-notch cultivators to reinforce them. We'll meet up on the way. Something that can cause the Mu family's group to fall is definitely not simple. We can't let our guard down.”
”In addition, the closest top sect to the Mother River is the Scripture Storage Valley. I'll contact the Valley Master to send people out to support those few forces that are seeking help first.”
When Alliance Leader Jiang Li injected spiritual qi, the various large sects immediately received his information.
No one expected Jiang Li to use the Alliance Leader Token on the first day the Great Mountain Alliance officially opened.
”Now that the Hundred Tempering Mountain has been destroyed, is there anything else in the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region worth such a huge commotion?”
”No matter what, once the Alliance Leader Token is used, all the major sects must respond and gather their strength to set off!”
...
The Mother River was already covered in endless Yin Corpses.
The environment in the underwater graveyard had been around for a long time.
Before the Nine Nether Wood took over, there were already many corpses accumulated here. From the fact that an ancient race like the Ghost Lantern Fish still existed here, it could be seen that this graveyard had existed for a long time.
Some corpses had already turned to dust due to the power of time.
However, the decomposition of those corpses also made the Yin qi in this calm underwater space become higher and higher. It was like a huge piece of amber, preserving many ancient corpses.
