Although the Gu Clan leader was alive, the disconnection of her life and trace Gu was certainly not voluntary, indicating something major had happened to her.
To forestall Captain Mu’s potential explosion, Jiang Li decided it would be best to locate the Gu Clan leader as soon as possible.
Tracking someone wasn’t limited to the use of trace Gu. Jiang Li could also use the Yin Yang Heaven Seal’s power of causality to do so, or directly deploy his Divine Sense to scan the entirety of the Witch Country territories.
Since the Gu Clan leader had left the clan to seek a future for it, she would likely mostly move within the territories of the Great and Lesser Witch Countries.
The combined area of both Witch Countries was the size of an entire empire.
which Jiang Li’s Divine Sense could feasibly cover. However, finding someone was a meticulous task that required both range and precision, forcing Jiang Li to narrow down the scope of his Divine Sense to increase its accuracy.
“The Great Witch Country…No. The Lesser Witch Country…ln a small town at the foot of its mountain, everyone’s dead, and she’s under someone’s control.”
Jiang Li quickly found the Gu Clan leader in a remote town within the Lesser Witch Country. She was indeed a beauty, even more attractive than the High Priest’s projection of her.
Because she was so beautiful, the culprit who captured her didn’t immediately kill her. Instead, he harbored ulterior motives, planning to do unspeakable things.
This delay provided ample time for Jiang Li and his group to arrive.
But what puzzled Jiang Li was the tranquility worn on every corpse in the town. It looked as if they were merely asleep.
What had happened?
“This is a great humiliation to me! I’ve wasted a month because of you, you deceived my time, my affections, and now you’ll pay with your life!” the villain roared at the Gu Clan leader as if she had wronged him in some way.
But when he saw the stunning face of the Gu Clan leader, he smirked. “But before you die, I should make good use of you and have some fun.”
When Jiang Li, carrying Captain Mu and the High Priest, arrived, the villain hadn’t even managed to remove his pants yet.
“In broad daylight, such a brazen scum!” Captain Mu kicked the villain into the wall, half of his body still outside, half inside.
“Wife, are you okay?” Captain Mu hurriedly turned to the Gu Clan leader.
The Gu Clan leader glared at Captain Mu. If not restrained, she would certainly have slapped him twice.
Even if he was her savior, she couldn’t be forced into giving her body to him.
What a bizarre day! Everyone seemed to have something to do with her.
The attire of the Lesser Witch Country was not as revealing as that of the Gu Clan. To blend in, the Clan Leader had changed her clothes, which ironically made her even more attractive.
“Aishe, he…may really be your future fiancé.” The High Priest tried to awkwardly explain to the Gu Clan leader, releasing her restraints.
Her restraints were laid by the villain. The High Priest’s cultivation was not high enough to remove them, and considering Captain Mu’s poor impression on her, it was ultimately Jiang Li who did it.
“Jiang…Jiang, the Human Emperor?!” Aishe gasped in horror. No matter what, she did not expect the Human Emperor to appear there.
The villain stuck in the gap in the wall tried to retaliate but ran off immediately upon hearing Aishe’s exclamation.
However, right under the scrutiny of a divine transformation stage cultivator and a Mahayana stage cultivator, there was no way he could escape, not even needing Jiang Li to capture him, Captain Mu got him.
“Thinking of running away, you prolific murderer and evil cultivator?”
Captain Mu said coldly, “Tens of thousands have died in this town, and it must be your doing!”
To Captain Mu, the evil aura wafting off the villain was blatant, as if he were a candle flame in the dark, practically wearing a sign on his face saying “1 am a demon cultivator”.
Looking at the corpses all over town, if they weren’t victims of this demon cultivator, Captain Mu would relinquish his leadership and be with Aishe!
“Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!” The villain hastily pleaded for mercy. Seeing the livid expression of the captain, he knew he’d have no chance to explain if he didn’t speak up now.
He thought, was it a bad day to go out? As a Demon Cultivator, encountering the Captain of the Imperial Palace and the Human Emperor, how could he possibly survive?
“It was she who killed all of the townsfolk!” the villain pointed at Aishe. “They
were all dead before I came. The matter of this town has absolutely nothing to do with me! I beg you to see the truth!”
With sufficient abilities to control Aishe, who is at the Nascent Soul Stage, this demon cultivator was not a low-level cultivator; he was a god-transformation stage cultivator.
Nevertheless, standing before Jiang Li and Captain Mu, he was a mere novice.
“What’s going on?” Jiang Li’s expression became serious; tens of thousands of people dying was not a trivial matter.
Aishe knew not to joke about this matter and provided a detailed account of incidents.
“Your Majesty, you may recall, as the High Priest has said, that I left the Gu Clan in search of a future for it.”
“This task has not been easy, and I’ve been circling around the Great and Lesser Witch Country for three months, with no idea what to do once the Gu Clan re-emerges.”
“Fortunately, I encountered a disciple of the Corpse-Driving Sect. When they found out I was the leader of the Gu Clan, they were excited to introduce me to their Sect Master.”
“The Sect Master of the Corpse-Driving Sect explained that he had long heard of the unrivaled Gu of the Gu Clan and had a desire to visit us; however, considering the secluded nature of our clan and the difficulty in finding us, he didn’t want to be intrusive.”
“The Sect Master wished to cooperate with the Gu Clan, and integrate the
Corpse Driving Technique with the Gu, creating a more exquisite Corpse Driving Technique. They even ensured that the Corpse-Driving Sect would guarantee the safety of the Gu Clan once we emerged.”
“Rather than rashly agreeing, I proposed a trial collaboration first. I advanced some Gu techniques related to levels, allowing the Corpse-Driving Sect to teach me a few of their Corpse Driving Techniques.”
“I found a desolate town and painstakingly sourced corpses which I controlled with Gu, also combining with the Corpse Driving Technique to continuously build up experience and improve methods to demonstrate the superiority of Gu over the Corpse Driving Technique, thereby securing an advantageous position in future collaborations.
“I also made certain achievements, and my mastery of Gu has greatly improved.”
“However, a man arrived in town about a month ago. At first, I didn’t pay him any attention since the town, though remote, wasn’t completely isolated from the rest of the world.”
“But out of nowhere, this man, without reason or warning, suddenly attacked me. It wasn’t until then that I realized he was a demon cultivator and at the Divinity Transformation Stage at that!”
“He sealed my vital entry points, interrupting the link between me and the Gu, causing them to lose control and go dormant. The corpses, no longer controlled by the Gu, all fell down and simulates the situation you saw.”
“If you hadn’t come to rescue me, I don’t know what could have happened…’ Aishe shook her head slightly, unable to continue speaking.
To prove her words were convincing, Aishe stood up again and regained control of the Gu.
The fallen corpses rose, murmurs resumed, and people moved in and out once again. Everyone around seemed completely unaware that they were already dead. The town regained its former prosperity and peace.
The way the corpses behaved was indistinguishable from normal people. To the High Priest’s surprise, he could not even tell that they were being controlled by the Gu.
During her half-year journey, the clan leader had far surpassed him in the field of Gu!
The demon cultivator regretted. It was because these dead people were no different from the living ones that he had wasted a month here..
