Chapter 434: Death Approaches

This corpse had a rotten stench to it. Both the scalp and hair were almost peeling off, showing that it had been buried for decades underground. That’s the only way the corpse of a Heaven’s Mandate cultivator could deteriorate to this level.

This scene was too creepy with Feiyun digging this corpse out.

“You said, you said this is Gu Chuanfeng?” Someone couldn’t believe it.

Donglai asserted: “No way, Chuanfeng had just disappeared earlier while this corpse was buried for several decades, how can it be him? Feng Feiyun, who are you trying to scare?”

Chuanfeng was the young Throne Marquis, a relatively well-known fella at the capital. Many prodigies were his acquaintances.

One young overlord was a good friend of his. After seeing the corpse, he became startled and said: “That’s definitely Gu Chuanfeng, there’s no doubt about it.”

“Zhao Li, what are you talking about?!” Donglai glared at the youth.

The youth named Zhao Li responded: “Ling Donglai, I’m telling the truth. Chuanfeng cultivated the Flowing Throne technique, both of his leg bones are refined to metal level, look at those bones on that corpse.”

Sure enough, the corpse’s leg bones were different from the other body parts, at least two times tougher.

“That’s not enough because anyone who trains in movement techniques would have tougher leg bones.” Donglai said.

Zhao Li continued: “Then tell me what’s hanging on its waist?”

The frightened crowd all looked over at the corpse’s waist at the same time. There was a silver order the size of a palm with the word, “Throne”. It belonged to the young marquis of that faction.

Everyone felt their scalp tingling, including Ling Donglai.

That corpse was surely Gu Chuanfeng.

The atmosphere became even creepier. This corpse in Feiyun’s hand looked even more nefarious under the moonlight and instilled a primal fear.

The young cultivators here were all dragons and phoenixes among men. They had an unyielding mentality and had seen many strange things but they have never felt afraid to this level.

Ye Xiaoxiang was standing behind Feiyun and also felt a biting chill. She couldn’t help but grab his sleeve again.

Jingyue took a deep breath and asked: “Feng Feiyun, how did you know that Chuanfeng was borrowed beneath that tree? You know who killed him?”

Feiyun shook his head then buried the guy again.

Because he found the buddhist mirror and vajra scepter underground during the day, he managed to guess that Chuanfeng would also be underground after disappearing.

The truth was that he himself was surprised to see this body.

Donglai sneered and said: “You really don’t know? There are several people here with stronger cultivation than you yet they couldn't find any clues but you knew the exact spot. You must know something we don’t.”

Feiyun snorted back: “Even if I did, why should I tell you. Xiaoxiang, let’s go.”

He had used his Minor Change Art to calculate several things and knew that he couldn’t wait here because a grotesque death would await him.

“Shit, Wang Sanwang is gone too, but he was just kneeling right there!” Someone else blurted out.

Sanwang’s disappearance was even more sudden since there was no other sign. Even Dongfang Jingshui and Beiming Potian didn’t notice anything.

Feng Feiyun was about to leave with Xiaoxiang but he stopped and pointed a finger at the entrance of the village. Another rotten corpse exploded out of the ground with only bones left.

Because Sanwang cultivated the Eagle King Physique, someone quickly recognized him.

At this moment, even the bravest prodigies panicked. They gathered together in groups, back to back, while maintaining the utmost vigilance.

Potian had a serious expression while the crimson deer behind him kept looking around while stomping on the ground with its hooves. It naturally felt that strange atmosphere in this place.

The prodigies under the Grand Chancellor all relied on him at this moment.

“No! Zhao Li is missing!” A voice broke the silence and made everyone’s heart jump.

Zhao Li was grouping with three other prodigies earlier with a circular formation but he disappeared instantly before the eyes of his confused teammates.

At this time, no one needed to say anything. All eyes were already on Feiyun.
