Chapter 408: Chapter 214: Assisting Feng Jue, the Power of the Corpse Fate Technique

The current situation in the Traceless Mountain Range remains unclear.

Whether the Three Karmic Demon and the cultivators of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks have clashed or not, and if so, what the outcome was. If the demonic entity senses the presence of the East Spring Undying Bone, it would undoubtedly attack immediately.

In fact, Wen Jiu had tried using the Corpse Fate Technique for divination, but involving Golden Core Cultivators, and multiple ones at that, not only was the corpse qi insufficient, but the technique wasn’t advanced enough in its Small Success Realm stage to glimpse or calculate the situation.

"Nevertheless, the Traceless Mountain Range remains the best option." Wen Jiu immediately began using the Corpse Fate Technique to divine the Innate Death Land in the Traceless Mountain Range.

Early the next morning.

Wen Jiu was condensing Yin Poison using the Gathering Yin Poison Technique, while Three Souls Flawless was refining souls. After several days without movement, Feng Jue finally visited again.

"Brother Han, we already have a target."

Feng Jue started speaking eagerly the moment he arrived.

Wen Jiu invited Feng Jue to sit outside the cave residence in the ancient pavilion, "Who is it?"

Responding, Feng Jue whispered, "The Gu Family’s patriarch, Gu Qianqiu. He is one of the three top-grade Talisman Masters under Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, with superb talisman art skills. If we can assassinate him, we’ll earn twenty thousand Immortal City Contribution Points."

"Your choice is quite bold." Qi Guan Mountain’s soul memory contains some recollection about Gu Qianqiu.

A Tier Two Top-grade Talisman Master.

Though he is just at the beginning of late-stage Foundation Establishment, and far inferior in strength to Qi Guan Mountain, his talisman arts and talismans place him among the elite of late-stage Foundation Establishment. Feng Jue dared to choose him?

There must be confidence, or there might be another reason.

Feng Jue explained cautiously through a voice transmission, "There aren’t many Tier Two Top-grade Talisman Masters in Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks. Over the years, there have only been about seven or eight, and they still need to ensure the supply of talismans on the front line to reduce casualties.

As a result, for dealing with the Heterodox Influence in the east, the Gu Family became a main force. The meaning from Daoist Wei’s side is that by assassinating Gu Qianqiu, the subordinate forces dealing with the Heterodox Influence would lose some talisman support. There wouldn’t be immediate changes, but if it continued, it would surely affect the eastern war situation."

"If I remember correctly, Gu Qianqiu is indeed a late-stage Foundation Establishment, coupled with being a Tier Two Top-grade Talisman Master." Wen Jiu was curious about the aim behind Feng Jue’s bold choice, indifferent to how Daoist Wei thought about it.

Because the reason given by Feng Jue might not be the actual reason.

Continuing with caution, Feng Jue conveyed, "Brother Han, to be honest, Fellow Daoist Shankui informed me that the Hidden Kill Sect of Three Life Gates is also eyeing Gu Qianqiu. With the assistance of the Hidden Kill Sect, I have more than a 50% confidence in taking him down.

However, the intelligence that Wind and Cloud Immortal City can provide is limited, and to dissociate from this affair, they wouldn’t investigate Gu Qianqiu’s situation. Therefore, I need Brother Han to help me find the best timing to make a move."

Wen Jiu was taken aback by Feng Jue’s words.

You are indeed the one.

You dare proceed with just a 50% chance?

Nevertheless, Wen Jiu didn’t doubt Feng Jue’s statement, since he had previously encountered Hidden Kill Sect cultivators when East Spring Undying Bone returned from the Spiritless Mortal World.

"Alright."

Wen Jiu didn’t refuse and immediately returned to his cave residence, assuring Feng Jue to wait at ease. Shortly afterward, he emerged from the cave.

Feng Jue looked at Wen Jiu expectantly, "How is it, Brother Han?"

"It’s not the time yet; currently, Gu Qianqiu is in peak condition and not at the Gu Family." Wen Jiu responded.

Just now, using the Corpse Fate Technique, the required corpse qi for Gu Qianqiu was forty percent, one percent more than Feng Jue’s and one percent less than Qi Guan Mountain’s. To be on the safe side, Wen Jiu didn’t use the Corpse Fate Technique for divination, sticking to ascertaining the general strength, condition, and approximate location.

Upon hearing Wen Jiu’s response, Feng Jue was both startled and delighted, "As expected of Brother Han, then I’ll trouble Brother Han to calculate daily after this, helping me find the best timing to strike. I’ll await Brother Han’s message in the Central Shen Yun Mountain Range!"

The Gu Qianqiu not being at the Gu Family was unknown to Daoist Wei, as he didn’t dare send anyone to investigate. Probably only the Three Life Gates would know, but such information Shankui wouldn’t tell him, yet Han Li divined the outcome at once.

At that moment, Feng Jue’s confidence in Wen Jiu instantly multiplied.

This way, he could safely hide in the central Shen Yun Mountain Range and await the best opportunity to assassinate Gu Qianqiu.

"Alright."

Wen Jiu nodded, and they agreed on a method of voice transmission to avoid eavesdropping.

After bidding farewell to Feng Jue and seeing him off, while Feng Jue left, Wen Jiu calculated daily, yet the divination results didn’t change. However, Heihe sent Feng Jue a batch of Blood Corpse Mushrooms, ten in total, more than previously stated.

It must be noted.

Feng Jue is indeed a person worth dealing with.

However, when Heihe mentioned Feng Jue, his expression seemed somewhat unnatural, as if hiding dissatisfaction. Nonetheless, he remained quite enthusiastic about him. As for the hidden discontent, Wen Jiu wasn’t surprised.

After all, as an Earth Yang Foundation Establishment joining the True Disciples, his arrival would somewhat decrease the resources and status of other true disciples. Even without any changes, there would still be an invisible pressure.

In this regard, Wen Jiu pretended not to see it.

This kind of matter, he was too lazy to manage, ignoring Heihe’s intentions to draw him away from Feng Jue.

After obtaining the Blood Corpse Mushrooms, Wen Jiu returned to the cave residence and converted them into experience, each provided two hundred and fifty experience points.

In total, he gained two thousand five hundred Corpse Nurturing Experience, equivalent to East Spring Undying Bone in the Little Demon Realm using the Five Yin Gathering Evil Pearl and Corpse Nurturing Coffin for corpse nurturing for two hundred and eight days. As for the demonic qi contained within, Absolute Spirit Corpse Qi could easily wipe it out.

In a blink, another half-month passed, and on the day Wen Jiu divined about Gu Qianqiu, he immediately noticed a sudden increase in the required corpse qi. Evidently, there was a late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator nearby.
