âMany thanks, senior, for your righteous assistance, which has allowed this junior to escape calamity. This kindness and sentiment, I dare not forget!â
In the sky, after the tall and thin middle-aged man had been bisected by the crimson Flying Sword, Zhou Chun glanced at the Corpse Refinement plummeting due to its masterâs death and promptly clasped his hands in thanks to the bearded middle-aged man.
Unlike the Contract Spirit Beasts of Cultivators, the Corpse Refinements crafted by the Corpse Demon Sectâs disciples would also lose their consciousness upon their mastersâ deaths, becoming truly inanimate objects.
However, it is said that the Corpse Demon Sect possesses a secret technique that can cause a Corpse Refinement to regain a faint consciousness after its masterâs seated transformation and demise, continuing to fight for the Corpse Demon Sect.
mine!â
Upon hearing his words, Zhou Chun also felt relieved.
...
Since he did not take credit for himself, it seems unlikely that he would turn against Zhou Chun after crossing the river.
However, just to be cautious, Zhou Chun quickly said, âSenior avenging his deep hatred is indeed a joyous matter, but with the disciple of the Corpse Demon Sect dead here, I fear it will soon cause quite a stir. Weâd better leave quickly.â
âWhat you say makes sense, fellow Daoist. The Corpse Demon Sect is powerful, and we indeed cannot afford a direct confrontation with them.â
The bearded middle-aged man nodded slightly, then raised his hand to beckon, and the crimson Flying Sword wrapped in a swirl of light brought back the severed remains of the tall and thin middle-aged man.
He looked at the two halves of the corpse in front of him and, after a moment of contemplation, said to Zhou Chun, âThis fiend was killed by the joint efforts of Zhao and you, fellow Daoist. His belongings should naturally be divided between the two of us. What do you think?â
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun promptly shook his head and waved his hands, saying, âSenior exaggerates. Without your help, this junior would have faced a life-threatening peril by now, and since it was senior who made the kill, how could I brazenly share the spoils with you?â
Zhou Chun wasnât being falsely modest; he truly didnât want any trouble.
Although the bearded middle-aged man seemed easy to talk to, Zhou Chun didnât even know his name. How could he judge his character based on this brief encounter?
If the other partyâs words were only a test and he foolishly agreed, it might arouse the manâs killing intent.
Another major reason was that Zhou Chun didnât want to attract the attention of the Corpse Demon Sect out of greed.
However, the bearded middle-aged man seemed to have pierced Zhou Chunâs thoughts and directly asked, âAre you worried that taking these items will alert the Corpse Demon Sect that it was you who killed their person?â
Without waiting for Zhou Chun to respond, he smiled faintly and continued, âIf thatâs the case, fellow Daoist need not worry. Zhao can distribute the Spirit Coins and other Spiritual Object materials from this fiendâs Storage Pouch to you, ensuring that no one will connect todayâs events with you because of these items!â
Now Zhou Chun found himself at a loss for words.
Since they were heading to Jingguo Country, there was nothing to worry about.
Zhou Chunâs Zhou Family was now somewhat renowned throughout Jingguo Country. With the Fire Divine Jackal by his side, he wasnât afraid of the bearded middle-aged man trying anything tricky.
Without hesitation, he immediately agreed.
The bearded middle-aged man then released a burst of intense flames to burn the tall and thin middle-aged manâs body to ashes and placed a seal on the Corpse Refinement on the ground before storing it in a stone coffin inside his Storage Pouch.
Seeing how adept he was at this, it didnât seem like his first time dealing with disciples of the Corpse Demon Sect.
