I Am A Corpse Collector In The World Of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 76: The Peril of Seeking Wealth and Prosperity

Pfft!

Blood rain fell from the sky, tearing apart powerful True Immortals, splitting their bodies in two.

"Let's go!" A True Immortal shouted in a deep voice.

The outcome of this war had been decided, with one side suffering heavy losses and being unable to withstand the situation, they could only flee.

"That's the direction of the Jiang City Lord's Mansion." Chen Shen's divine sense swept over and saw more than a dozen figures covered in injuries fleeing in that direction. He thought to himself, it seems that Chen Feng had the upper hand in this confrontation.

"Brothers, let's go clean up." After a while, when the figures in the sky dispersed, Lei Dui shouted.

Then, someone controlled the Water Control Technique to clean the streets and houses of bloodstains.

There were also people carrying a bag, packing up the remains and body parts.

After a moment.

Chen Shen held a linen-colored bag filled with body parts, feeling quite pleased.

"Xiao Chen, let me help you. You go clean up the battlefield," someone walked towards Chen Shen and smiled.

He held onto the bag tightly and quickly shook his head, "It's alright, leave this dirty work to me."

Half an hour later, Chen Shen took the initiative to bury the bodies.

[Burial successful! Obtained partial spiritual roots, breakthrough to the later stage of the top-grade spiritual roots!]

A gleam flashed in Chen Shen's eyes, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"These days, when will it end? Collecting corpses every day, it's really unlucky," someone complained while looking at the graves.

"Be careful with your words! This is the business of the city lords. We just need to do our own jobs well," Lei Dui glanced at that person and said in a deep voice. Then, he changed the topic and said, "You should learn from Xiao Chen. Look at him, he buries the bodies every time without any complaints, and now he can still smile."

By the way, what are you happy about, Xiao Chen?"

"Um..." Chen Shen restrained his smile and said softly, "It's almost dawn, and it's time for the shift. I'm quite happy."

The former nodded slightly, and then a group of people strolled along the street and started their shift.

"Lei Dui, I want to take a leave," before parting ways, Chen Shen found Lei Dui and said.

With the improvement of his spiritual roots, it was natural to test the quality and enjoy the bliss of dual cultivation for half a month before returning.

Moreover, after the recent major battle and the significant casualties, there would be a period of calm.

The two city lords fought for territory every day, and even with more people, they couldn't withstand such turmoil.

If it weren't for the fact that the salary of the True Immortals was much higher than the average standard, no one would dare to fight so desperately for the two city lords.

However, as time went on, Jiang Xingyue's benefits in Lingxi City became greater and greater.

But still not as good as Chen Feng, and the two would have to stalemate for a long time.

Half a month later, Chen Shen, with a flushed face, came on duty.

"Life is good," someone saw his rosy complexion and laughed.

"Lei Dui, are you alright?" Chen Shen walked towards Captain Lei.

The latter nodded gently. It had become a habit for things to calm down for a period of time after each death.

However, in the early morning three days later...

"Youngsters seeking death!" An angry shout came from the direction of the city.

"That's the Dan Dao Alliance. Someone intends to commit an extermination and attack a Dan Dao Grandmaster?" Chen Shen was surprised.

"No, they are attacking a Dan Dao Master. This is a big taboo. They should be trying to seize the Soul Formation Pill!" Lei Dui's gaze looked into the distance, his expression serious.

"The Soul Formation Pill?" Chen Shen was puzzled.

There were no Dan Dao Grandmasters in the Hundred Nations who could refine pills above the Soul Formation level. Pills like these had to be purchased from a broader place.

The Soul Formation Pill was a pill needed to break through to the Soul Formation stage, and it increased the chances of a breakthrough by 20%.

"The Four Seas Trading Company recently purchased a batch of pills from outside, and they are being kept in the Dan Dao Alliance, guarded by the Grandmaster. Among them, there is a priceless pill, the Soul Formation Pill!"

This matter had caused quite a stir, and many Nascent Soul stage cultivators wanted to obtain it.

The Four Seas Trading Company was the only transcendent force in the Hundred Nations that focused on commerce.

"Let's go, this is going to be a big commotion. Many people are likely to die."

Lei Dui said, leading a group of people to rush to the scene of the incident.

Meanwhile, above the Dan Alliance, a great battle was taking place.

The Dan Alliance was caught off guard and had already suffered heavy casualties.

"Kill them!" Fortunately, the reinforcements arrived just in time, and another group of True Immortals came.

It was another chaotic battle.

Seeing that the attackers were at a disadvantage, at this moment, a True Immortal wearing a black robe and a mask descended.

He entered the battlefield as if entering a deserted place, single-handedly fighting against three or even four True Immortals in the later stage.

Pfft!

This masked True Immortal was terrifying, easily injuring one of the True Immortals who were besieging him.

"Hmm~" Chen Shen let out a soft sound of surprise in his heart when he saw that the masked True Immortal was using a sword technique that he was familiar with.

It was a one-sided massacre. Due to the arrival of this mysterious masked True Immortal, several True Immortals from the Dan Alliance died once again.

Seeing the Dan Alliance on the verge of defeat, at this moment, an overwhelming aura erupted from the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion of Jiang City, a Nascent Soul powerhouse!

Until now, a Nascent Soul cultivator finally made an appearance.

"Go!" The unexpected guest saw the situation change rapidly and quickly scattered and fled.

However, two True Immortals were still caught up by the Nascent Soul powerhouse and were directly blasted into pieces.

The Nascent Soul powerhouse wanted to pursue further, but was stopped by another Nascent Soul powerhouse.

"These small fries should be killed!"

"Hmph!" The Nascent Soul powerhouse from the Jiang Mansion snorted coldly and returned to the City Lord's Mansion.

"Check to see if there are any losses in the treasure vault."

The Dan Alliance's masters and attendants were in a frenzy.

"No mistakes, we didn't let these villains succeed." Immediately after, someone said.

"It seems that this attempt to kill and seize treasures has failed." Chen Shen said at the entrance of the Dan Alliance.

"Not necessarily." Captain Lei shook his head gently and said again,

"The True Immortals guarding the Dan Alliance were almost wiped out. The other side almost succeeded. It can almost be said that the guards were not vigilant enough, and the Dan Alliance bears a great responsibility."

"But these are not things we should consider. Brothers, get ready and collect the bodies." Captain Lei called his companions.

One hour later.

The burial was successful, and they obtained some spiritual roots...

The spiritual roots also made progress, making Chen Shen very happy.

Before going on duty, he suddenly asked Captain Lei, "Brother Lei, does the City Lord control Lingxi City, or do people from the sect intervene?"

"No, they can't." Captain Lei shook his head directly,

"Lingxi City's City Lord changes every fifty years. If the sect were to intervene, it would be difficult for these high-ranking figures to give up their interests, and it could easily lead to even greater conflicts.

From the City Lord's Mansion to the deputy City Lord, down to us patrolling guards, we are all members of small sects."

"I see." Chen Shen nodded slightly.

But if that's the case, doesn't Lin Xuan violate the rules?

The sword technique that the mysterious True Immortal just used was the True Sword Technique.

To be more precise, it was an improved version of the True Sword Technique, with even greater power and terror.

And in this world, besides Chen Shen, the only one who knows the True Sword Technique is Lin Xuan, this little genius.

"Should I give Chen Feng a little report?" Chen Shen thought, then shook his head gently.

There aren't many True Immortals as brave as him, so it shouldn't be done.

A few days later, Chen Shen finally understood the meaning behind Captain Lei's words.

The Four Seas Trading Company canceled its cooperation with the Dan Alliance's auction house and instead placed the Dan medicines it purchased in a Dan Alliance called the Cang Dan Pavilion.

Without a doubt, this shop was opened by Jiang Xingyue.

And the attack a few days ago was an opportunity.

Half a month later, the Cang Dan Pavilion was also attacked.

Obviously, Chen Feng was furious and couldn't swallow this anger.

"That's right, courtesy demands reciprocity." Chen Shen watched the battle in the sky with anticipation.

…………

Bang!

In a courtyard in Lingxi City, a muffled sound came from a room.

"I finally broke through after three years." Chen Shen opened his eyes, feeling the fluctuations in his cultivation, and a smile appeared on his face.

After the incident at the Dan Alliance three years ago, his cultivation had made another breakthrough, reaching the fifth level of Nascent Soul.

After countless battles and collecting corpses, his spiritual roots had also made great progress, almost reaching perfection.

"Lin Xuan, you didn't disappoint me." He stood by the window, looking towards a certain place in the city.

In the past three years, the conflict between the two city lords had become increasingly intense, almost reaching the surface and becoming well-known to everyone.

However, the secret actions taken by Lin Xuan were still known only to Lin Xuan, Jiang Xingyue, and Chen Shen.

This young genius, no, he was no longer a young man.

This fierce man was ruthless and powerful in his actions. Every time he appeared, the opposing party would suffer heavy casualties, almost making a name for himself.

The Chen Feng faction was not to be underestimated either. They invited heroes from all over the world, including a powerful true immortal, but they were still slightly inferior to Lin Xuan.

"Sister, it's my turn for duty." Chen Shen said.

Facing the setting sun, he left the courtyard.

In the evening, Lei's team wandered around the lively streets.

Until dawn, the lively atmosphere faded away, leaving behind emptiness and silence.

"After half a month of cultivation, I'm on duty today. I'm going to the brothel!" One of Chen Shen's old colleagues said.

They not only enjoyed themselves, but also cultivated most of the time.

"I think your wish might not come true." Chen Shen's divine sense covered Lingxi City and discovered something unusual.

Immediately after, Captain Lei also noticed it.

"Xiao Qi, it seems like our plan to enjoy the music in the brothel tonight is in jeopardy."

Countless divine rainbows flew across the sky, heading straight towards the Jiang City Lord's mansion.

"Jiang Xingyue!" At this moment, a thunderous voice resounded throughout Lingxi City.

This was the city lord, Chen Feng!

"Jiang Xingyue, you have gone too far. Don't you know that any disputes and interests in Lingxi City cannot be interfered with by the sects?"

A figure emitting a dazzling light descended from the sky and landed at Jiang Xingyue's mansion.

"Hand over Lin Xuan!" He said in a deep voice.

At this point, many important figures in the city were alarmed and fell silent.

"Did the city lord actually allow the sect disciples to interfere?"

"Lin Xuan? Wasn't he the first in the True Immortal group at the Immortal Fate Conference a few months ago?"

"Jiang City Lord's actions are excessive. If he allows his disciples to interfere at will, will there still be room for us cultivators and aristocratic families in Lingxi City in the future?"

"No wonder Chen Feng has been retreating step by step in recent years. It turns out that the disciples of the Fire Departure Sect have intervened."

...

"Is this really happening?" Chen Shen was surprised.

At the same time...

"Greetings, City Lord Chen Feng."

In Jiang Xingyue's bedroom, a female cultivator flew up. She was a powerful Nascent Soul expert.

"Where is Jiang Xingyue? Where is Lin Xuan?" Chen Feng shouted in a deep voice.

"Jiang City Lord is currently in seclusion. We can discuss this matter later. When the City Lord comes out of seclusion, he will personally apologize and make amends to City Lord Chen Feng."

However, Chen Feng shook his head directly.

"I want him to come out now and give me an explanation, and hand over Lin Xuan to give Lingxi City an account. Only then can this matter be settled."

The female Nascent Soul cultivator hesitated and said with a worried expression, "But Jiang City Lord is currently in seclusion. I'm afraid he cannot meet you, sir."

"Then hand over Lin Xuan. He should still be in the mansion, right?"

As he spoke, Chen Feng's divine sense spread out, and then he sneered.

"I knew the rat was hiding somewhere. Turns out he's hiding in front of Jiang Xingyue's seclusion."

"Daring to recklessly kill in Lingxi City, but now afraid to come out?"

"City Lord, calm down. Let's not mention whether Lin Xuan was involved in this matter. Isn't it a bit excessive for you to come to Jiang City Lord's mansion in such a grand manner to demand an explanation?"

"Do you want to ignore the facts?" Chen Feng said with a playful expression.

"That's not what I meant, Lord Chen," the female Nascent Soul hurriedly replied.

She knew she had said the wrong thing.

However, what awaited her was Chen Feng's command:

"Lin Xuan's involvement is confirmed. How dare you talk about ignoring the facts? Kill her!"

"Lord, if that's the case, there will be no turning back," she pleaded.

"I am the City Lord of Lingxi. By stopping me and ignoring the fact that I am about to slaughter the Jiang Mansion, you are offending me!" Chen Feng said coldly, looking at the Nascent Soul blocking his way.

"Kill!"

No more harmony and peace. The two City Lords completely tore off their masks, and Chen Feng massacred the Jiang Mansion.

"Lin Xuan!" Chen Feng arrived in front of Jiang Xingyue's cultivation room and saw Lin Xuan, who had a pale face.

"Today, I will kill you to honor our fallen brothers!"

Clang!

Just as Lin Xuan was about to be slapped to death, a punch came to meet it.

Jiang Xingyue had come out of seclusion, but her expression was not good.

"Chen Feng, what do you mean? Do you really want to cause chaos in Lingxi City?"

"You allowed the prodigy in our sect to commit murder, breaking the rules. I'm just here to demand an explanation. Either Lin Xuan dies, or we fight!" Chen Feng said.

But would Jiang Xingyue let her junior brother die like this?

There was no need for further explanation. If they wanted to fight, then let them fight.

"I see." Ten miles away from the City Lord's Mansion, Chen Shen showed a relieved expression.

If it was just because of Lin Xuan's involvement, Chen Feng wouldn't have made such a big fuss.

The main reason was that Jiang Xingyue was about to break through.

If this extraordinary figure broke through, Chen Feng would be completely finished.

So he had to stop her, at least this time he had to stop her from breaking through in seclusion.

The great battle was about to begin.

True immortals and Nascent Souls were all fighting.

Lingxi City was turned upside down!

Of course, the main event was the battle between the two City Lords.

In the sky, there were constantly flashing thunder and lightning.

Just like more than ten years ago, it was a evenly matched battle.

But without the Soul Formation barrier, the two could unleash their full power.

While the two powerhouses were fighting, an inconspicuous figure underground had a bold idea.

"This physique... no, this talent..." Chen Shen's eyes gleamed.

He looked up at Jiang Xingyue, his eyes fixed.

It wasn't just because he coveted her body...

This was an extraordinary genius with an exceptional spiritual root!

Boom!

Not long after, the two City Lords exhausted their mana and resorted to hand-to-hand combat.

"Let's go. This is not something we can intervene in. We'll wait for the City Lord's summons," Lei said. Given the current situation, their patrol team had no chance to collect the bodies.

Everyone retreated, but Chen Shen became more and more restless.

"Their mana is depleted. If I use the Primordial Spirit technique, I'm afraid they won't be able to dodge it," he thought to himself.

Just as he hesitated, two true immortal figures appeared.

It was Lin Xuan and the true immortals under Chen Feng's command, and the latter was heading towards Chen Shen's location.

Chen Shen wanted to avoid them, but it was too late.

"A mere Foundation Building cultivator, get out of the way!" The escaping true immortal saw Chen Shen blocking the way and coldly shouted, unleashing a Divine Ability towards him.
