Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Awakening the Postnatal Corpse Technique Divine Techniques

Consider Ji Qiubai’s master, the Main Peak Elder of the Inspection Hall, Ye Chen. This guy belongs to the neutral faction, never showing prejudice against the Left-Handed Arts, and under his command are both Qi Refining Cultivators and Heterodox Cultivators.

Moreover, he himself also practices Left-hand Arts.

If Wen Jiu catches his eye, he might receive favor. After all, although Wen Jiu has an inferior Spirit Root, his talent in the Heterodox Dao is indeed outstanding. In the Yinzhou’s Corpse Nourishing line, no one currently advances as swiftly as he does.

Even Mu Canglong’s father is no match.

Soon.

Gong Chi returned to the Night Patrol Department Main Hall.

But just as he set foot there, someone emerged silently from the darkness beside the main hall, their movements soundless, presence seemingly nonexistent. When passing through the dark, they disappeared suddenly like a Yin Soul Ghost.

The person was clad in a Night Patrol Officer’s Uniform, precisely the mysterious third Steward of the Night Patrol Department, Ye Luo.

Upon sharply sensing the other’s presence, Gong Chi paused, glanced back, and then quickly sped up, striding swiftly into the Night Patrol Department Main Hall, heading straight to the attic on the top floor.

Close the door.

Activate the Array.

Flawless execution.

As soon as the door closed, Ye Luo was the first to speak.

"The Alliance Leader ordered me back to inform you that Senior Yin Yang Dust has divined with life techniques, and the corpses of the Three Thousand Blood Inks are still on Feixian Peak, as is the Yin Evil Blood Curse Body... They never left Feixian Peak!"

Upon hearing this, Gong Chi’s expression turned serious.

Though he harbored doubts, hearing the five words "Senior Yin Yang Dust" compelled him to believe.

"But I’ve scoured all the places I should at Feixian Peak with my Divine Sense, yet found nothing."

Feixian Peak is not large.

Where could they be hidden?

During this time, from outside Feixian Peak to its summit, within a span of twenty or thirty miles, Gong Chi meticulously and tirelessly checked more than five times, without any findings.

Ye Luo continued, "Senior Yin Yang Dust’s life technique has never been wrong. He says the Three Thousand Blood Inks’ bodies are there... Perhaps some Talisman or similar items are blocking your Divine Sense."

"That’s possible." Gong Chi no longer insisted, "Then I will continue to search carefully. You go back and tell the Alliance Leader that I will definitely find the corpses of the Three Thousand Blood Inks before the assessment deadline."

"You don’t have that much time." Ye Luo warned.

Gong Chi’s face suddenly tightened, "Why?"

"The Alliance Leader is very angry and is already starting to suspect your loyalty!" Ye Luo stared intently at Gong Chi with his dark eyes.

There seemed to be suspicion too.

"My loyalty to the Celestial Left can be witnessed by the sun and moon. Go back and tell the Alliance Leader that if I can’t find it, I will personally go to the Celestial Left to plead guilty." Gong Chi spoke in a deep tone, full of determination, finally easing Ye Luo’s hawk-like gaze.

But what he didn’t know was that Gong Chi dared to speak this way because he had a backup plan that he had just acquired.

That would be Wen Jiu.

He hadn’t found the corpses of the Three Thousand Blood Inks, but he did find a top-tier left-handed genius for the Celestial Left Alliance. Presumably, the Alliance Leader would not only not blame him but may even offer him another reward.

But at this moment, Ye Luo instead sat down, sipping a cup of cold tea, seemingly unwilling to leave.

"I can’t go back now. There’s news from the Celestial Left that Heartless Iron Face Ye Chen has left the Main Peak for more than half a month, still nowhere to be found. I worry he is watching in the shadows."

Upon hearing this.

Gong Chi’s eyebrows furrowed again.

He also knew about Ye Chen’s return, which prompted him to self-inflict a serious injury to stay at Feixian Peak.

To prepare to offset the potential fallout from Ji Qiubai’s death, bringing Feixian Peak into the Main Peak’s view as a means of redeeming himself.

For safety, he even sent Pavilion Master Bai Changxin of the Blood Robe Pavilion to the Blood Demon Abyss to cause a commotion to attract Ye Chen’s attention, but surprisingly, Ye Chen didn’t care about the Blood Demon Abyss at all.

And he still hadn’t appeared.

This is the most unsettling.

"But don’t worry, the Alliance Leader has already increased efforts in the Blood Demon Abyss to give us a chance to find the Yin Evil Blood Curse Body." After speaking, Ye Luo slowly took out ten black Yin Talismans from his storage bag.

With just one glance, you could tell they were extraordinary.

Upon closer inspection, Gong Chi was delighted.

Breaking Talismans.

Tier One Top Grade.

Drawn by the revered Senior Yin Yang Dust.

Capable of breaking all arrays and talismans below Tier Two.

One of these could cost thousands of Low-grade Spirit Stones, but compared to the Yin Evil Blood Curse Body, it was insignificant.

"Five for each of us, you search the Main Peak, I’ll search outside the Main Peak... we’ll start tonight."

"Alright!"

...

Corpse Remains Death Land.

After returning to the Corpse Remains Death Land, Wen Jiu didn’t hesitate; first using the Ghost-faced Butcher to cultivate a Yin Soul until it reached the Qi Cultivation Second Layer. By nightfall, he successfully completed it, and once done, he promptly had the Black Corpse devour it.

Ready for settlement at night.

During this time, Wen Jiu was drawing talismans.

Because a top-quality Tier One Lower Grade Soul-Seizing Talisman may not be considered a trump card, but if the quantity increases, it too becomes a mighty weapon.

Quantity changes cause qualitative change.

After all, the Soul-Seizing Talismans aren’t as easily defended against as normal spells or talismans, so they can play a critical role at key moments.

Most importantly, the Soul-Seizing Talismans could obscure his identity. Who would associate that a Yin Talisman Master, just starting out, could draw top-quality Low-Grade Soul-Seizing Talismans?

After his Spiritual Power was entirely spent, Wen Jiu completed thirty talismans in total, ten more than usual.

The top-quality ones also increased.

Three in total.

Wen Jiu entonces realized that after he started Gu Cultivation, his Spiritual Power had grown significantly.

Quite the unexpected delight.

Quickly.

Midnight approached.

Today’s official settlement.
