Chapter 81: Chapter 81 - 72: Kill Gong Chi, Obtain the Secret Technique
Night Patrol Department Dungeon.
Gong Chi listened to the sounds outside, sitting quietly, with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, holding a copy of "Carefree Record" and flipping through it.
He heard the sounds of the Killing Array being activated. Once the Killing Array is activated, the defensive nature of the Feixian Peak Protection Array will be greatly reduced. Thus, it creates an opportunity for someone to exploit, Feng Xuan, oh Feng Xuan, you’re still too inexperienced.
Do you know that the Celestial Left Alliance has a cultivation technique called the Yin Five Elements Ghost Skill? Although it is not as complete as your Main Peak’s Foundation Establishment technique, it is a top-tier Ghost Cultivation technique obtained from ruins, allowing cultivators to silently infiltrate Feixian Peak.
Array.
Divine Sense.
Cannot capture anything.
"This essay is well-written, the author deeply portrays a family dominating an area for thirty years. When they stepped out of their city, they finally realized they were merely frogs at the bottom of a well." Gong Chi praised the author of "Carefree Record" with satisfaction.
But isn’t this just a veiled criticism?
It’s unfortunate, for the sake of acting, he had to self-harm, causing the elixirs that Bai Changxin gave him to fail in helping him break through to the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, or else after the battle at Feixian Peak, he would undoubtedly become the Peak Master.
However, when he offers Wen Jiu to the Alliance Leader and receives some rewards, breaking through to Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer will be a certainty.
Once reaching Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, coupled with the resources of a peak, just give him ten more years.
The Late Stage of Qi Cultivation is within reach.
At that time, he will only be eighty years old. Once stepping into the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation his lifespan would extend to one hundred and fifty years, giving him roughly sixty more years, enough to aim for Qi Cultivation Perfection.
Even Foundation Establishment.
Stable management.
Gradually planning.
This is his path!
...
After the Black Corpse transformed into the Three Evil Corpses, although it did not upgrade the Three Rivers Ghost Concealment, the time and effectiveness of concealment significantly improved, even doubled in effect.
All the way to the Night Patrol Department, silent and empty, guarded only by some Stone Puppets, so Wen Jiu headed straight for the dungeon.
The Night Patrol Department dungeon is located within the mountain body of Feixian Peak, usually used to imprison disciples who violate sect rules, and there is only one entrance, usually personally guarded by quite a few Stone Puppets and a steward.
But now only Stone Puppets remain.
Tier One Stone Puppets simply cannot detect Wen Jiu’s presence, yet as he gradually enters, he passes through one stone door after another.
Opening stone doors makes sound.
Surely it will alarm Gong Chi within.
So Wen Jiu first used the senses of the Three Evil Corpses to probe inside, passing over those imprisoning Feixian Peak disciples upstairs, and soon Wen Jiu locked onto Gong Chi, the Night Patrol Department Elder imprisoned at the very bottom.
But at this moment, Gong Chi’s face suddenly tightened, as he sensed something was watching him.
"Who?"
Gong Chi put down the "Carefree Record" and immediately stood up.
He could feel something watching him, yet his Divine Sense captured nothing.
It was clear.
The opponent’s Divine Sense strength must be above his.
Could it be... a Main Peak Elder has arrived?
As Gong Chi thought of this, his expression subtly changed, and then he heard the stone doors opening one after another.
Boom—
Boom—
Very well, the stone doors in his cell area followed suit.
However.
Nothing was there.
The Divine Sense still captured nothing.
"Who!"
Gong Chi’s face changed again.
A sudden feeling of unease rose in his heart.
But with no response, he could only guess if people from the Celestial Left Alliance had come, but why would they come looking for him? Are they crazy?
He had managed to hide until now.
Next moment, a burst of ghostly energy suddenly appeared behind him, at the moment of appearance, Gong Chi only felt an extremely dangerous aura emerge, as he attempted to use an object to rush out of his cell, but then a surge of evil qi and corpse qi exploded, binding his limbs, leaving him unable to move.
It was in that instant, a powerful suction descended, at this moment he only felt his soul trembling.
A sense of unprecedented death crisis arose in his heart, he wanted to struggle, but it felt as though something was firmly holding him, then a heart-wrenching pain came.
His soul was being torn away and extracted!
The words "Soul extraction" instantly jumped into his mind, deeper fear also followed inside him.
Because the secret technique of forcibly extracting living human souls, he had never heard of it even in the Celestial Left Alliance, he had only heard of such techniques in legends. How could it appear in such a small Cultivation Realm of Deadman Peak?
Who after all wants him dead?
Main Peak Elder?
Impossible.
If they wanted to kill him, they definitely wouldn’t resort to sneak attacks.
Celestial Left Alliance people?
More impossible.
He was an important pawn of the Celestial Left Alliance at Deadman Peak.
Then who wants him dead?
"Cannot... cannot fall here..." Gong Chi gritted his teeth, blood slowly seeped from his mouth, inside him suddenly surged a chilling aura, one distinctly opposite to his normal atmosphere.
It was at this moment, Gong Chi’s skin and visage rapidly aged again, seeming to grow old by decades in an instant, yet his aura reached an unprecedented peak.
Boom—
A boom sounded, an extremely vigorous chilling aura burst forth.
Gong Chi broke free, and upon doing so, immediately summoned a Tier One Middle Grade spherical magical artifact enveloped in flames to protect himself, simultaneously forming the hand gestures to use his trump card cultivated for twenty years.
