I Am A Corpse Collector In The World Of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 43: The Fall of an Old Friend

Over the past few months, the battle between the Cangwu Demons has turned into a rivalry between the genius Zhu Ming and Lin Xuan.

Neither of the two young geniuses is willing to submit to the other. Today, you have a great record, and tomorrow, I will surpass you.

However, both of them have only been able to kill cultivators at the mid-stage of Foundation Building.

But then, the two of them became obsessed and actually challenged the late-stage Foundation Building cultivators.

The result is predictable - they both returned with serious injuries, but it further solidified their genius abilities.

To escape from late-stage Foundation Building cultivators with only early-stage Foundation Building cultivation is also a skill.

"I feel like competing with these two young geniuses. How about we wait until they reach the peak of Foundation Building and see who can kill a mid-stage Gold Core cultivator?"

Chen Shen once had this idea, but he suppressed this passionate thought.

He is not young anymore, in his twenties, no longer at the age of youthful arrogance.

The battle between the two geniuses came to an end as they both reached their limits. If they were to continue, they would have to reach the mid-stage of Foundation Building.

In less than a year, they have not even broken through three layers. There is still a long way to go.

Just when everyone thought it was halftime, a real-time message was sent back to the sect.

"At night, Lin Xuan witnessed a cultivator lusting after a woman and attempting to forcefully take her. Out of anger, he intervened. The late-stage Foundation Building protector immediately took action, but Lin Xuan, in front of the senior cultivator, effortlessly killed the lustful cultivator with a single sword strike and left without a trace."

This achievement is nothing special. Both Lin Xuan and Zhu Ming have done it before. But the fact that the opponent had a protector indicates that this matter is not simple.

"Ao'er!" A thunderous roar echoed throughout Cangwu.

All the cultivators below the level of True Immortal felt the terrifying pressure filled with murderous intent.

"Brother Jin, calm down." Another voice came, suppressing the True Immortal aura that swept through Cangwu.

The disciples didn't understand what was happening until three days later.

News of the death of a descendant of the Gold Core stage reached the sect, and everyone connected it to the incident a few days ago.

"Rumor has it that the lustful cultivator killed by Lin Xuan that night was the grandson of a Gold Core cultivator, and I heard that this Gold Core cultivator's surname is Jin."

"No wonder, but I don't think this grudge can be avenged, even if it's a True Immortal."

"It's obvious. Lin Xuan is such a genius that even if the True Immortal dies, he wouldn't let him fall. I heard that this Gold Core True Immortal is only at the first stage of cultivation, and the power in Cangwu is not that great."

Chen Shen's face changed while he was eating at Manxianglou. He quickly settled the bill and headed towards Heaven Burial Mountain.

Soon after, he entered the mountain and found more than ten bodies piled up next to the Heavenly Bridge.

Chen Shen's heart sank as he walked over.

"Hmm?" He was about to examine the bodies when his divine sense covered the entire Heaven Burial Mountain and discovered several cultivators crying deep inside.

"The grave of my grandson, Jin Ao!" He saw the words written on the tombstone.

At this point, his heart turned cold.

Chen Shen began to inspect the bodies, fortunately, Lu Changqing's corpse was not among them.

He didn't take immediate action but waited for more than an hour until the relatives left before collecting the bodies for burial.

At the same time, the true nature of the incident gradually became clear.

The killing of Jin Ao did happen as rumored, but there was one small detail.

Lin Xuan had changed his appearance.

Jin Ao was a playboy, but not a fool. If he had known it was Lin Xuan, he would have turned and left.

Who could resist such a thing?

"Pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger..." Chen Shen murmured. If it were him, he would do the same.

By receiving the final moments of other corpses, he saw the anger of the True Immortal.

"You are all from the same sect, yet you didn't stop my grandson from doing evil. You are equally guilty. You didn't help when my grandson was killed. You deserve to be punished!"

Knowing that he couldn't kill Lin Xuan, Grandfather Jin could only take revenge on the cultivators who accompanied Jin Ao that day.

Chen Shen despised the actions of this old man, but he was helpless.

He saw several scenes, none of which had Lu Changqing's figure, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next scene made his face change.

"Senior Lu, let's part ways here."

"You are alone, so escape with all your might. I cannot escape. I have a wife and child, and my family is in Cang Country. This journey is to send Panqiu back to her hometown and then return. If we are destined, we may meet again in the future!"

A Qi Refining seventh-level cultivator and Lu Changqing's couple separated at a crossroad.

Lu Changqing had matured a lot, holding a newborn baby in his arms. Panqiu, who was only eighteen years old, stood by his side, showing grace.

However, shortly after they separated, the Qi Refining seventh-level cultivator was caught up and killed by a Foundation Building cultivator.

"Ah." Chen Shen sighed. He didn't expect that the words spoken before their parting would come true.

Then, he noticed that the Foundation Building cultivator who was chasing them was also here. He was slightly puzzled, but soon understood.

The scene shifted.

"Panqiu, run quickly!" Lu Changqing's couple was quickly caught up.

Lu Changqing fought desperately, but with his Qi Refining eighth-level cultivation, how could he be a match for a Foundation Building cultivator? He was severely injured with just one move.

"No, I won't leave. If we die, we'll die together!" Panqiu, who was only eighteen years old, was resolute and determined to die together.

The Foundation Building cultivator didn't give them time to cherish each other. He directly swung his sword towards Panqiu, who was holding the baby.

Boom!

Coincidentally, the sword light touched the jade pendant worn by the baby.

The jade pendant shattered, and a terrifying sword aura suddenly appeared.

Boom!

A terrifying roar resounded, carrying an inexplicable aura.

"What is this?" The Foundation Building cultivator was shocked and pale, but before he could react, he fell to the ground, his heart pierced through.

Lu Changqing, who saw this scene, was stunned, but quickly understood and burst into a tragic laughter.

"So, it's you, my good brother, it's you!"

He seemed to understand everything, his eyes filled with gratitude and helplessness.

Grateful for everything Chen Shen had done.

Helpless that he could no longer drink and sing.

Chen Shen thought that it should end here, and Lu Changqing still had a glimmer of hope.

But the last scene brought a farewell.

In the scene, Lu Changqing was in a desperate situation, not only facing a Foundation Building cultivator, but also a Gold Core True Immortal.

"You are good brothers. If you want to die, die together. How can you escape?"

This was what the True Immortal said. Then, Lu Changqing was slapped into a mist of blood by the Gold Core True Immortal, leaving no last words.

No wonder Lu Changqing's body was not brought back. Chen Shen finally understood everything.

However, it was strange that Panqiu was not in the scene. It was unclear whether she died first or managed to escape.

"I can consider this as my doing, but I cannot leave any evidence."

The True Immortal murmured softly, and finally slapped the accompanying Foundation Building cultivator to death.

Knowing everything, Chen Shen remained silent for a long time.

After a while, he took out two apples and placed them on the ground, lit three incense sticks, and bowed in a certain direction.

"Brother Lu, if I leave Cangwu in the future, I will definitely exterminate this True Immortal. You should understand me. Either do nothing, or do it thoroughly."

Chen Shen inserted the incense sticks into the apples and turned to leave.

Tonight, he would enter the Gold Core stage and become a True Immortal!
