Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 309 - 303: Collecting Bai Qi’s Remains
Is that Turtle Shell the shell of Elder Bai?
If Lin Yuan takes it away, then when Elder Bai returns to his original form, he’ll transform from a Turtle Spirit to an Eel Spirit or Lizard Spirit.
Instantly, the image already appeared in Lin Yuan’s mind.
Cough cough!
Lin Yuan concealed his laughter with a cough; if it’s true, his request is indeed a bit presumptuous.
"Elder Bai, if the Turtle Shell can’t be given, how about something else?"
"Even emperors don’t starve their soldiers; such a dangerous task surely can’t be done for nothing!" Lin Yuan bargained.
He definitely intends to take up this job, but he’ll surely demand a reward.
Elder Bai is genuinely good-natured and wasn’t bothered by the previous matter.
"Alright!"
"Once it’s done, I’ll give you some benefits!" Elder Bai agreed.
Lin Yuan could trust Elder Bai’s reputation.
Actually, it’s not about trust.
Rather, the difference in power is too vast; Elder Bai is a Tier Two powerhouse, and even if he breaks his promise, Lin Yuan would have no way to deal with it!
Thus, he could only choose to trust.
After agreeing to the matter, Lin Yuan took the Turtle Shell Elder Bai handed to him.
Although Elder Bai’s Turtle Shell was lent to him, during the time he possessed it, he was almost fearless under Tier Two.
"Elder Bai, before going to the City of Sin, I have another task!"
"I want to first gather General Bai Qi’s corpse and bury him with the zombies who died at Pule Mountain." Lin Yuan expressed his request to Elder Bai.
In this Mysterious World, Lin Yuan was practically the only relative to the heroic spirits of the Human Race like Bai Qi.
If he didn’t gather Bai Qi’s corpse, who else would do it?
Elder Bai also seemed to admire Bai Qi.
In his view, Bai Qi was worthy of being called a friend.
"Sure!"
"The World Honored has already acted once; he won’t act a second time anytime soon!"
"For now, you’re safe." Elder Bai said with great certainty.
Many Tier Two powerhouses were looking for the whereabouts of the World Honored.
Once the World Honored’s location is found, he would undoubtedly be met with collective attack.
Killing him would completely sever his chance of proving his path, ensuring fair competition for others.
Acting twice in a short time would greatly increase the risk of the World Honored being exposed.
Elder Bai reckoned that the World Honored wouldn’t risk exposing himself to kill Lin Yuan.
The five Dharma Guardian Deities under the World Honored had all perished, making it impossible to dispatch anyone to kill Lin Yuan in the short term.
Thus, Lin Yuan’s task of gathering Bai Qi’s corpse was considered quite safe.
After saying this, Elder Bai waved his hand, causing a white light to form on the Turtle Shell he handed to Lin Yuan.
A mysterious Array faintly appeared in the white light.
This Array is a teleportation array capable of instantly transporting Lin Yuan to Bai Qi’s body.
"Young man, go!" Elder Bai said to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan: "?????"
Lin Yuan showed a puzzled look, thinking, I didn’t say go right now!
I’ve come to Qingqiu Mountain, and haven’t even seen Ling’Er yet?
At least let me see Ling’Er once before I go, right?
However, Elder Bai, the old turtle, apparently didn’t understand such sentimental affections.
Before Lin Yuan could react, the white light enveloped him and the next second he vanished from his original spot.
With a flash of white light, Lin Yuan found himself at the spot where Bai Qi chased Lady Ming King.
Lady Ming King had already disappeared, either taken away by the World Honored or escaped.
Left lying on the ground was Bai Qi’s headless body and the Godslaying Sword shattered into countless fragments.
"Ancestor Bai Qi, although I could take you home, I truly don’t have the ability to bring back the forty thousand soldiers’ bodies."
"I believe that compared to returning home alone, you would prefer being buried with the forty thousand soldiers."
"I swear, once I have the strength, I will certainly take you back, burying you at the edge of Qinling!" Lin Yuan swore to Bai Qi’s corpse.
With a ripping sound, Lin Yuan tore his clothes, gathered the scattered fragments of the Godslaying Sword, and wrapped them together.
Finally, he lifted Bai Qi’s body and carried it on his back.
He then pulled out the Turtle Shell, which seemed to react, emitting white light once again.
The teleportation array appeared once more, directly transporting Lin Yuan to Pule Mountain.
When Lin Yuan arrived at Pule Mountain with Bai Qi’s body, he was shocked.
Pule Mountain had transformed into a hill of graves, densely packed with burial mounds from top to bottom.
At a rough estimate, there must be at least tens of thousands of graves.
"Someone has already buried the soldiers?" Lin Yuan frowned, incredulous.
Impossible!
He should be the only living person in this Mysterious World!
Besides him, who would voluntarily bury these people?
Lin Yuan couldn’t believe there existed such a good person in this Mysterious World, or rather, a good demon.
Indeed, good demons exist, like the Qingqiu Fox Race.
But they also wouldn’t dare to bury these bodies!
The Qin soldiers, led by Bai Qi, took down the five Dharma Guardian Deities under the World Honored.
Burying them is to forge a karmic connection with the World Honored.
Apart from himself, who dares to forge such a bond with the World Honored.
Even Elder Bai and Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder, these Tier Two powerhouses, had to use Lin Yuan’s hands to deal with the World Honored.
As Lin Yuan hesitated over who buried these soldiers.
He saw a silhouette dressed in tattered armor, looking fierce and fearsome, hobbling over from afar.
The figure was covered in scars, having lost half of his foot, hence appeared to limp.
When he approached, Lin Yuan saw his face clearly and exclaimed in surprise: "Zhao..."
"Zhao Kuo!"
The figure sized up Lin Yuan, nodded, and replied: "That’s right, it’s me!"
Lin Yuan recognized him from a VCR viewed at Qingqiu Mountain; it was Zhao Kuo, commander of Zhao Army, summoned by Bai Qi from his own Ghostly Realm.
Unexpectedly, he was still alive.
Moreover, he was different from Bai Qi and those Qin soldiers.
Bai Qi and the Qin soldiers were summoned by Lin Yuan using the Reincarnation Wheel, originally only a heroic spirit, and due to the Reincarnation Wheel, regained physical bodies.
Even if they didn’t perish in the battle, once their heroic spirits were exhausted, they’d vanish completely.
Yet Zhao Kuo was different.
Zhao Kuo was summoned by Bai Qi from his own Ghostly Realm, not in a heroic spirit state.
Instead, he was more akin to a zombie.
Furthermore, a zombie with a high tier.
According to legend, powerful zombies don’t enter the six realms and don’t fall into reincarnation.
