Pang Nie sneered again and said to the Fire man, ”Brother Fire, since all the people are here, let’s talk about the strategy to take on the Corpse Man.”
The Fire Man nodded and said, ”Everyone, although there are already eight of us from the top five martial institutions, the Corpse Man is not that easy to fight. He is at Late Astral Reaching Realm, which would take at least three Mid Astral Reaching Realm warriors to stall him. Also, there will be two or three rank 7 zombie warriors in his nest. I think I do not need to explain more about the zombie warriors… Their attacking power would not be weaker than anyone here. Plus, the zombie warriors have extremely powerful defenses. Without a powerful strategy, the killing of the Corpse Man might not be successfully conducted. There is a huge possibility to be killed after a dreadful battle. Besides the two points I have already mentioned, the Corpse Man had also got four white warriors to guard him. These four people have no shape no appearance, which is very bizarre. They are at Early Astral Reaching Realm. The remaining two Astral Reaching Realm warriors could take on two opponents each, then we should be okay.”
Lin Shuihan said, ”So, as you have put it, we have just the right amount of people.”
The Great Master from the South Rudra Martial School Xiao Heng said, ”It just means there would be a huge uncertainty. If the Corpse Man has one more Astral Reaching Realm warrior on his side, then it would be a very bad situation for us.”
The wife of Xiao Heng nodded, ”Indeed! Our breaking point would be the zombie warriors. After killing them, we can take care of the four white warriors, then all join together and fight the Corpse Man. It is all based on the precondition of the ideal situation. If there is an extra Astral Reaching Realm warrior, then they would be able to find a breaking point from our side.”
”Fire, is that your complete plan?” Although Pang Nie had a common goal as the Fire Man, it did not mean that he did not care for his own safety. He could not help but wonder if the Fire Man had other plans, perhaps even including him.
The Fire Man laughed, ”Don’t worry. My friend Lake Man will be joining us tomorrow, then there will be nine of us. If there are no changes on the Corpse Man’s side, it should be easy to kill him. And even if there is a change, we would still have enough of power. Worst case scenario, with the nine of us fighting together, it should not be a problem for us to escape his nest.”
”I have heard that there will be two people coming from the Purple Sun Martial School, one being the Mountain Man. Where is the other one – the Gold Spear Man? With him, the chance of us winning will be higher.” Lin Shuihan said suddenly.
The Fire Man’s expression changed instantly as he glanced at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen looked just the same as he said, ”I killed him.”
”Killed?!”
The Xiao couple and Lin Shuihan were quite shocked. Ye Chen was only at the stage of purifying zhen yuan, which would still be a small distance until reaching the Astral Reaching Realm, while the Gold Spear Man had already reached the Mid Astral Reaching Realm. The two had a huge cultivation level gap in between. Normally, Ye Chen should not even be able to wound the Gold Spear Man. Everyone present could not help but feel chilled. The number one martial genius in the whole South Rudra Region was way more powerful than they had expected. With such a cultivation, it would still be one of the top in the whole true spirit continent scale.
”Since he is already dead, then there is no point in talking about it anymore. Fire Man, when should we leave?” Lin Shuihan did not mean to blame Ye Chen, so he ignored it completely.
The latter said, ”This matter should not wait any longer. Let’s leave today. I am afraid that the situation might change if we wait.”
”Agree.”
”Alright, let’s go!”
Everyone present was an Astral Reaching Realm warrior; they did not like to waste time. Once decided, they would proceed immediately.
Within the clouds…
The Fire Man said, ”The nest of the Corpse Man is right under the ground in the west of Devil Grassland. There is a huge lake.”
”No wonder no one had found him over the years. It turns out he had been living under the ground. The grassland over there is extremely wide and huge. Without luck, it is impossible to find someone there.”
There was a distance of twenty thousand miles between the Green Mountains to the grassland. With the speed of the Astral Reaching Realm warriors, although they would be able to reach there in two to three hours, but it would be very risky if they took on the Corpse Man in such a hurry, since traveling at full speed would consume a lot of energy. Therefore, everyone only used half their normal speed.
Midway, the group met the Lake Man of the Nature Five.
The man was in his fifties. He wore a blue robe as he waved a fan in his hand. He had an aura similar to Zhuang Qinghe. Ye Chen had detected a sharpness flash through behind the eyes of the Lake Man with his powerful soul power. Seemingly friendly but brutal, he was definitely not as he seemed, thought Ye Chen.
Four hours later, everyone had landed in the west of the grassland.
In front of them were seemingly endless lakes. They came with different sizes and shapes.
”We are here!”
The Fire Man landed on the side of one lake.
Xiao Heng was second-doubting, ”I wonder where the entrance is.”
”The entrance is right under this lake!” The Fire Man pointed at the lake right in front of them.
Pang Nie sneered, ”The Corpse Man is quite good at finding locations. With the entrance completely under the water, covered by the mud, there are almost zero flaws in the choice.”
”Let me go look at the environment under the lake!”
Long Yue was still not too sure about what they were about to go into, so she activated her zhen yuan and made a gesture to the lake in front of her. A surprising scene happened. A swirl appeared in the lake, and once it became stable, it floated into the sky like a mirror.
