Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 1203
Chapter 1203 Underground Devil Cultivator
A storm spread in Tianwu Sect. Ling Nan was dead, and there were core disciples in the room. What made everyone even more puzzled was why there were Situ Clan members in the room.
The three of them died strangely. Ling Nan was completely naked, and the clothes on the egret’s body were torn apart. Meanwhile, the Situ Clan’s Young man sliced Ling Nan’s neck with a long sword in his hand.
Seeing this scene, Ling Nan’s first impression was that he wanted to rape the egret, but when the Situ Clan saw him, he pulled out his sword and killed Ling Nan. In the end, Ling Nan’s palm struck and he died with the Situ Clan.
There was also a sword wound on Bai Lu’s body, which was obviously caused by this Situ Clan man. It was like a mystery that no one could solve.
In an incense stick of time, this matter spread throughout Tianwu Sect. Ling Nan’s father arrived immediately and saw his son lying naked on the ice-cold ground. His entire body emitted a dense killing intent.
“Situ Clan, how dare you kill my son? I want you to die a terrible death.”
Killing intent flickered in the corner of Ling Tianying’s eyes. Situ Yangyuan, who was lying on the ground, clearly knew him, and his son was killed by Situ Yangyuan’s sword, breaking the amulet.
This murder case alerted the upper echelons of Tianwu Sect, and they began to investigate. However, there was not a single clue. In the end, they came to a conclusion that Ling Nan had forced the White Egret to be seen by Situ Yangyuan. The three of them had a dispute over something and ended up dying together.
The matter was quickly suppressed by the upper echelons. It was like a headless case. However, some people were secretly guessing that the matter was not that simple. How could the Situ Clan dare to kill people in Tianwu Sect?
It was clear that someone was framing someone. No one knew who it was.
Inside the room, Ye Feng was cultivating in peace of mind. It had been four to five days since he arrived in Tianwu Sect, and he was temporarily very calm.
“Dong dong dong!”
Someone knocked on the door and someone came. Ye Feng stopped cultivating, stood up and walked out.
“Why are you here?”
Looking at Hao Zhennian and Zhang Qiang, Ye Feng asked.
“Master, today is the day we go out to hunt demons. Every disciple has to go there in the middle of every month.”
Hao Zhennian bowed respectfully and said quickly.
Ye Feng’s memories quickly gushed out. Every month, Tianwu Sect would go underground to hunt demons. The first was to train his disciples. The second was to hide a lot of treasures, especially the underground demons. There were demon pills in their bodies. After killing a demon, they could exchange for points and enter the Heaven-shocking Gorge to pick spirit medicines.
“I see. We will go immediately.”
Ye Feng did not want to show his carelessness, some things in Tianwu Sect still had to be done in a step-by-step manner.
Originally, Ye Feng planned to go to Death Valley in a few days to search for the Death Stone. Since there was something wrong with the sect, Ye Feng could only wait for a few days.
Ye Feng returned to his room and tidied up briefly. The three of them quickly left this place and rushed towards the gathering place.
In the middle of the moon, it was also the full moon. Underground Demons liked to appear when the moon was full. Once no one hunted them, they would also rush out of the ground. At that time, it would bring disaster to humans.
Tianwu Sect was built in the Frozen Sun Mountain Range. There were two underground earth veins. One was the Yang Vein, and the other was the Yin Vein. One was Yin and the other was Yang. They lived endlessly. According to Feng Shui, this was a precious land.
However, there were countless dangers hidden beneath this treasure ground. The Underground Devil Cultivator was one of them. They liked Yin the most. The Yin Meridians emitted pure Yin Qi, which was most suitable for the growth of the Underground Devil Cultivator.
Underground Devil Cultivators were different from Blood Devils. Blood Devils liked to eat human blood essence and use it to evolve.
As for the Underground Devil Cultivators, they were purely creatures that evolved, but their food was evil Yin Qi. For example, places with extremely heavy Yin Qi were the easiest places to breed this kind of Devil Cultivator.
Their intelligence was extremely high, and even some demons had evolved from 10,000-year-old zombies. They had already activated their intelligence. Once they absorbed the spirit souls of strangers, their intelligence would grow again. It was extremely terrifying.
According to Ye Feng’s understanding, these Underground Devil Cultivators should be similar to zombies. Their appearances were similar to humans, but their skin was dark and their fingernails were very slender. Ye Feng had encountered them in Heavenly Spiritual Academy, but at that time, the most powerful ones he had encountered were only corpses.
As for this Underground Devil Cultivator, all of them were Corpse Kings. They had intelligence, and their bodies were invulnerable. It was very difficult for humans to break through their defenses.
In Ye Feng’s memories, the strongest Devil Cultivator in the Underground Realm should be the Devil Cultivator. One Devil Cultivator could command tens of thousands of Dead Emperors, while one Devil Cultivator could rule over millions of Dead Kings.
The Corpse King was basically between one Earth Immortal and five Earth Immortals. Once it evolved to about six Earth Immortals, it would be the Corpse Emperor. When it reached the Eight Earth Immortals, it would be the Corpse Demon.
If they were able to break through to the Nine Tribulations Earthly Immortal Realm, it would be even more terrifying. They might become immortal stiffness and eventually become even more mysterious planes. If they evolved again, they should be one of the three thousand worlds of the Devil Realm.
This information was left behind by Yang Kuang during his life. Ye Feng absorbed all of it. Tianwu Sect was built here. In order to prevent the Underground Demons from threatening the sect, he would go underground every month to hunt the Demons and prevent them from reproducing.
The Underground Devil Cultivator wanted to drive Tianwu Sect out of this place, so that no one could compete with them for the Yin Meridian. All of the Yin Qi could quickly allow the Devil Cultivator to grow.
This month, it was Xi’s Manor’s turn to hunt demons underground. All Xi’s Manor disciples, except Holy Son, had to participate. This was the rule.
When they arrived at the gathering place, there were already over a thousand people gathered here. Ye Feng and the others directly walked into the crowd.
Although there were more than a thousand people, the plaza was extremely large. Even if it could accommodate a few thousand people, it was not crowded. Because Xi’s Manor was the smallest of the four prefectures.
When Ye Feng and the others stood still, a powerful divine sense shot towards them. Ye Feng raised his head and looked ahead. He discovered that there were two men and two women standing on the high platform in front of him. The men looked handsome and the women’s temperament was outstanding.
Ye Feng also knew these four people. The core disciples of Xi’s Manor had the best chance of becoming the four disciples of Holy Son, and they were the envy of many disciples.
As long as he became a Holy Son, his status was high, and he didn’t have to hunt demons underground every month. After all, every time he hunted demons, he would die.
‘”This month, it’s our turn to hunt demons underground in Xi’s Manor. Everyone, cheer up. Last month, the Southern Palace hunted 50,000 demons, plus three Corpse Emperors. We received the reward from the Palace Master. We, Xi’s Manor, cannot lose face this time. We must reach this number.”
The girl in the middle spoke. If Ye Feng’s guess was correct, her name was Chen Xi. Her status in Xi’s Manor was only inferior to Holy Son. Rumor had it that even some low-level Holy Son had to be polite when they saw Chen Xi. Because Chen Xi had already reached the peak of the Six Tribulations Earthly Immortal Realm, she was only one step away from becoming Holy Son.
However, the response below was very calm, as if they were used to it. In this year, Xi’s Manor had hunted down the lowest number of demons, so everyone was used to it.
“Is everyone deaf? I didn’t hear what Senior Sister Chen Xi said.”
Young man’s face suddenly turned gloomy beside Chen Xi. The atmosphere at the scene instantly became gloomy and cold, and many people trembled.
“Senior Brother He, don’t worry. We will definitely complete the task.”
Everyone below answered sparsely. There were inner sect disciples as well as core disciples. Ye Feng swept his gaze over Young man. This person was He Wu. Rumor had it that he was also from the He Clan. Joining Tianwu Sect was not bad. He was ranked second only to Chen Xi among Xi’s Manor’s core disciples.
“Alright, now you can form your own team or act alone. Killing a Corpse King can earn a hundred points. The more you kill, the more points you can earn. When you return, you can go to the Heaven-shocking Gorge to exchange for treasures.”
Chen Xi continued, his face still expressionless, always cold.
After saying that, the four of them left. If nothing unexpected happened, the four of them should form a small alliance.
The reason for that was because the demons liked to live in groups. If they moved alone, it would be very dangerous. In recent years, they had developed a set of experience. The larger the team, the more Corpse Kings they would hunt. Naturally, the death rate would also be reduced.
However, there was also a drawback. After killing the Corpse King, it would not be easy to distribute it in the end. If they were to split it equally, those who were powerful would naturally feel uncomfortable in their hearts.
If they were distributed according to their strength, the weaker disciples would have their own thoughts. This was because most of the time, they were the ones who were the cannon fodder and rushed to the forefront.
This led to the fact that when they formed a team, they were usually very good friends. Unfamiliar disciples would never be formed together. Also, the matter of stabbing someone in the back was often played out underground. Once you obtained too many Corpse Pills, it would definitely attract the attention of others.
Every time they formed a team, it was extremely difficult. Some people even preferred to act alone rather than with others.
“Hao Zhennian, come here. Today, I will bring you underground.”
Not far away from Ye Feng, a cold voice sounded. Soon after, a dozen people walked towards the three of them.
“Senior Brother Wu, I’m sorry. The three of us have already formed a team. We don’t want to join another team.”
In the eyes of outsiders, Hao Zhennian was still the leader of the three, so Wu Tian’s first words were addressed to Hao Zhennian.
“Hahaha … Just the three of you? You were eaten by the Corpse King when you entered the ground. Don’t tell me I didn’t give you a chance. If you don’t agree, you all know the consequences.”
Wu Tian’s expression instantly darkened. Of course, Ye Feng knew their purpose. Actually, he hoped that the three of them would go down and take the lead. When they encountered the Corpse King, they would deal with it. The Corpse Pill they obtained had fulfilled their wish.
If he died, it would also be a wasted death. Wu Tian obviously wanted Ye Feng and the others to be scapegoats.
“I want to know what the consequences will be.”
Ye Feng suddenly asked with a smile. His eyes were filled with ridicule.
“Yang Kuang, when did you become so bold that you actually dared to speak out against me?”
Wu Tian’s expression was very ugly. He discovered that Yang Kuang’s strength had broken through to the Four Tribulations Earthly Immortal Realm, but compared to his Five Tribulations Earthly Immortal Realm, it was still not worth mentioning.
“My courage has always been like this. It’s just that I disdained to be ordinary with some people in the past.”
Ye Feng sneered. He did not know how many Earthly Immortals he had killed. This Wu Tianye Feng had branded the mark of death. Once he had the chance, he would not let him go.
