I Am A Corpse Collector In The World Of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 57: The New Corpse Collector

"Cangwu is our Cangwu of the Ye family. We obtained it through legitimate means. How can we use the word 'greed'?" A member of the Ye family said seriously.

"Don't speak recklessly. Be cautious with your words," someone warned.

"Am I not right? Cangwu..." The young Ye family member wanted to argue, but noticed that everyone's expressions turned slightly cold and looked around.

He understood that it was not the right occasion.

But it didn't matter. Everyone present were esteemed guests of the Ye family, so it wouldn't hurt to hear his words.

He was just afraid that certain individuals with ulterior motives would twist his words.

"What a remarkable Cangwu of the Ye family, obtained through legitimate means," Chen Shen withdrew his consciousness and sighed inwardly.

With Cangwu's current luck, it was indeed invincible externally and free from internal worries after unifying the ten countries.

Ye Chen's defeat of the Elder Swordbearer had established his authority, and no one dared to provoke the Ye family anymore.

The voices of dissatisfaction towards the Ye family had long since dissipated.

"If Ye Chen breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, I'm afraid that one day, this sect will become a family." Chen Shen shook his head.

With Ye Chen as the sect master, the Ye family was indeed unrivaled.

But he didn't know if he would have the opportunity to witness that day.

He didn't dwell on these thoughts. His goal was longevity, and he couldn't be trapped here for his entire life.

"Sister also wants to experience a passionate love affair." Mu Xiaojin blinked her big eyes and murmured softly as she looked at the newlyweds who were smiling brightly.

If she wasn't facing death, she wouldn't have thought about these things. But when facing death, there were some things she wanted to try.

Clang!

Chen Shen moved his chair, distancing himself from her.

The other party slowly turned their eyes towards him, glancing at him sideways.

...

Afterwards, people started leaving one after another, and Chen Shen was naturally among the first to leave.

Back in the courtyard, life returned to its peaceful state for another three months.

One day, Sun, the steward, personally brought a young man to Heaven Burial Mountain.

"This is the new corpse collector. Explain the rules to him," Sun instructed before leaving.

Chen Shen observed the young man. His clothes were white, but his hair was somewhat messy and his face was pale.

His consciousness unintentionally swept over the young man, and although his face remained expressionless, his heart sank and he was somewhat surprised.

Whose child was this? Nine divine nails locked his dantian.

The power of those divine nails covered his dantian, locking his cultivation.

And the residual power of the divine nails eroded his flesh and blood, causing him to endure excruciating pain almost every moment.

How ruthless!

The young man remained silent, only silently looking at Chen Shen without any change in his expression.

"Follow me," Chen Shen said softly, leading the young man towards the attic.

There was no communication along the way.

"You can stay here for now." He pointed to Lu Changqing's room.

After the young man walked into the courtyard, Chen Shen returned to his own house.

But he found Mu Xiaojin sitting on his old chair.

"Do you know who that young man is?"

"Please tell me, Sister." This time, Chen Shen truly didn't know.

"His surname is Bai!"

"Bai?" Chen Shen was puzzled. He thought for a while, then his eyes suddenly widened and he said in a solemn voice, "Could it be related to that person?"

"That's right." Mu Xiaojin nodded and said, "He is the only biological child of the Elder Swordbearer after he achieved the True Immortal stage."

"But why would he come here?" she wondered.

Just like Chen Shen's habit, she swept her consciousness over, and then her expression changed.

"How could the Cangwu torture be used on him?"

"No, there must be an insider here."

Then, Mu Xiaojin transformed into a divine rainbow and flew towards the first peak to gather information.

In the afternoon, she returned with news.

"The son of the True Immortal made a mistake and was found out. Within a year of him overseeing a spiritual mine, three hundred disciples died."

"How did they die?" Chen Shen asked.

Actually, at this point, he should be able to guess. It is likely that the deaths of those disciples are related to that young man.

"This person exploited those disciples at the Qi Refining level or even those who hadn't reached the Qi Refining level yet. They worked day and night, and many of them died from exhaustion. Over fifty people were whipped to death by him," Mu Xiaojin said.

"Who discovered and reported this?" Chen Shen remained silent for a moment before asking again.

For people of such noble status, if they harm a few or even a dozen people, it probably wouldn't be taken seriously.

But with so many deaths, anyone who knows about it would be angry.

However, since it involves Elder Zhi Jian, this esteemed figure, if the handling is not appropriate, I'm afraid Cangwu will face a major upheaval.

Don't underestimate Elder Zhi Jian just because he lost to Ye Chen. With his actions over the years, he was once revered as a god-like figure, highly respected and influential. If he were to speak, countless True Immortals would respond.

"I heard it was a disciple surnamed Ye."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shen understood somewhat. He didn't believe that the disciple surnamed Ye would dare to expose himself. There must be someone behind him giving instructions.

Could it be that Ye Chen wants to target Elder Zhi Jian?

"I heard that originally the sect had no intention of punishing this person," Mu Xiaojin said.

"Then?" Chen Shen asked, puzzled. Soon, he realized, "Could it be him?"

"That's right, Elder Zhi Jian personally spoke up and demanded severe punishment."

There was no other way. The Sect Master remembered Elder Zhi Jian's great achievements, so instead of executing him directly, they sealed his cultivation and sent him to Heaven Burial Mountain."

Chen Shen was stunned for a moment. So it was his father who personally spoke up.

He thought for a moment and asked again, "Doesn't the sect have a prison? Why send him to Heaven Burial Mountain?"

"Don't you think about it. Which peak usually holds the power of life and death?" Mu Xiaojin said impatiently.

"Understood," Chen Shen nodded.

If Elder Zhi Jian's son was punished on the Law Enforcement Peak, it would be the same as punishing his family. There was no need to endure such heart-wrenching pain.

Another month passed.

In the evening, Chen Shen and Mu Xiaojin were drinking when suddenly, a young man surnamed Bai knocked on the door.

"Can I come in for a few drinks?" he asked.

The two in the courtyard were momentarily stunned, then nodded.

Mainly because Mu Xiaojin wouldn't refuse, and Chen Shen didn't understand why she was frantically gesturing at him.

"What's wrong with your eyes?"

"(lll￢ω￢)" Chen Shen.

"I've been waiting for a month, but he still hasn't seen me, asked about me, or even thought of saving me."

The young man ate his food in big bites, downed a cup, and said.

The other two remained silent, listening quietly.

"Since I was young, I knew that my father is a True Immortal, and I was born extraordinary, destined to enjoy all the prosperity and love. But when the teacher was teaching, a few of us skipped class and he beat me up. I couldn't get out of bed for half a month. I was only seven at the time. As I grew up, I saw..."

This young man seemed to be venting his grievances, but Chen Shen interrupted him abruptly.

"What you think your peers should do, you should also do. They engage in deceitful acts, but you are not allowed to. They indulge in pleasure and debauchery, but you are beaten. There's no other way, you can only obtain spiritual stones through other means, such as leaving Cangwu... Is that what you want to say?"

The young man was slightly stunned, "Brother, do you understand my thoughts?"

"No, no, no, I just think that those who are close to vermilion will be stained red, and those who are close to ink will be stained black," Chen Shen shook his head. He couldn't be generous and kind, treating everything with indifference, but he had never done anything that went against his principles.
