Chapter 199 Corpse Refinery Sec (2/2)

Yu Yangzi raised his head and laughed. ”What a bunch of dreamers! If the resurrection of the Divine Corpse is possible, it would have happened one thousand years ago and not now!”

”Stop the excuses, Grandmaster. The Divine Corpse from the Archean Eon has always been an Immortal King. Even though the Divine Corpse fell into slumber after the war, its body remained intact to this day. Souls like yours are its best nourishment. So please return with us, Grandmaster. We don't want to use ways that will end in a lose-lose situation.”

Xiao Chen's heart dropped. Why would he keep thinking of his Master whenever he heard something about Immortal Kings of the Archean Eon? Moreover, to think that the Corpse Refinery Corpse possessed the intact body of an Immortal King…

Yu Yangzi's gaze turned ice-cold. ”You dare!”

One of the Blood Corpses shook his head, sighing. ”Why? When I first entered the sect, you promised you'd make our sect prosper and remove the restrictions that the place puts on us. But why do you now…”

His companion sighed. ”Forget it, Junior Brother. There's no need to mention this anymore. Let's make our move.”

The other Blood Corpse shook his head and sighed again, not wanting to say more. He began reciting a spell with his companion. The magic treasure that they had used to deflect Yu Yangzi's attack earlier started floating. Inside the treasure was Yu Yangzi's vital soul. It looked rather strange and curious now as it emanated a faint black light.

Yu Yangzi's expression transformed drastically. He bellowed, ”Stop!” He instantly struck them with a palm attack. Even though the palm attack was fierce enough to injure them both, it ended up hitting his own vital soul. The injuries that he received weren't light either.

”Stop right now! You won't be able to evolve any more after using the Forbidden Soul Curse! You'll only end up being dragged to that place. Stop immediately!”

The two Blood Corpses didn't react to his words and continued reciting the spell. A wisp of cyan smoke emerged from their midbrows and seeped into their magic treasure.

Yu Yangzi could no longer move now. He yelled, ”I'll go back with you! But give me a few days! I need to…”

Without waiting for him to finish, the two Blood Corpses completed the spell. A black fog abruptly filled the air and enveloped Yu Yangzi in it. The fog became smaller and smaller until it became an orb of black light. The black light then entered the strange magic treasure.

Xiao Chen watched in alarm. That was a late-stage Nascent Soul Realm expert, and yet he was subdued by those two's strange spell. It seemed that it was a dangerous thing to have one's vital soul in another person's hands.

One of the Blood Corpses sighed. ”Grandmaster must be waiting to ingest an incredibly powerful soul body. If we allow him to succeed, he'll surely evolve into a Spirit Corpse. When that happens, I fear that not even the Forbidden Soul Curse will be effective against him.”

His companion replied, ”Forget it and let's go. Now that we have used the Forbidden Soul Curse, we won't be able to live after we return.”

”Hehe. Live? So what if we live? Junior Brother, we're neither humans nor ghosts now. So what if we turn into a Spirit Corpse, or a Devil Corpse, or even a Divine Corpse who can kill an immortal with a wave of our hand? So what if we can now kill any Core Forming Realm cultivator and seek revenge? I'd rather be a foolish village kid again. If Xiaofang sees the way I am now, hehe…”

”Sigh. Let's go…”

Subconsciously, their words seemed to carry a touch of melancholy.

Xiao Chen waited until he could no longer feel the two men's breath before heaving a sigh of relief. He turned around and saw a pale-faced Murong Xian'er. He smiled gently and said, ”Don't be scared, Xian'er. They're gone now.”

”I don't understand why they'd turn themselves into such terrifying creatures just for power.”

”Hehe. If I somehow turn into one of them one day, will you still stay with me?”

Murong Xian'er subconsciously raised her head, the rim of her eyes reddening. Two streams of tears began flowing from her eyes. She sobbed, ”No! I don't want you to look like that!”

Xiao Chen was stunned. He didn't expect that his little joke would make the little girl cry. He pulled her close so that her head fell gently against his shoulder. He said softly, ”That's enough, Xian'er. I'll never turn into one of them.”

”Sob… But I dreamed of it. I dreamed of you becoming one of them, and there were also many people like them worshiping you…”
