Chapter 1649: Chapter 628: Flaw

Dragon Abyss Ze Bank.

Zhou Chun sat cross-legged atop a mountain peak, his gaze fixed on the mist-shrouded marsh ahead, a look of contemplation in his eyes.

The reason he hurried over here, sending Bahar, the High Priest of the Scale Frog Alien Clan, to Dragon Abyss to fetch something for him, was because he sensed that his backup arrangements had been triggered.

Years ago, he captured an assassin from the Ice Hell Sect but dared not kill the person due to fear of the sect behind him. He could only use the Demon Path Secret Technique “Soul-Sealing Suppressing Corpse Art” to seal the assassin in a Soul-Sealing Coffin and then instructed the then High Priest Batulu of the Scale Frog Alien Clan to send it deep into Dragon Abyss Marsh as Dragon Abyss Seals.

This method of deception indeed helped him avert the ongoing threats from the Ice Hell Sect without confronting this Assassin Sect directly.

Over the years, to reinforce the seal, he had Batulu retrieve the Soul-Sealing Coffin and send it back again.

This time, his backup arrangement was triggered, and he wasn’t sure if a Demon Beast had discovered the Soul-Sealing Coffin, destroying it and triggering his backup left behind, or if the assassin sealed inside had undergone some transformation.

If it were the former, Bahar would surely return empty-handed, and he wouldn’t need to handle the aftermath himself.

Within Dragon Abyss, even a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator couldn’t stir up any waves.

If it were the latter, then things would be interesting!

Time slowly passed, and after approximately thirty-four days of waiting, Zhou Chun finally awaited Bahar’s return.

“Senior Zhou, Bahar fortunately fulfilled the mission and has brought back what you requested!”

On the mountain peak, the somewhat weary-looking Bahar handed the Corpse Storage Bag over to Zhou Chun and silently stepped aside to wait.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun wasn’t in a hurry to inspect the Corpse Storage Bag, merely nodding slightly towards Bahar and saying, “Thank you, Brother Bahar. Next time during trade, Zhou Mou will have the family add fifty Black Lotus Pills as a gift.”

Upon hearing this, Bahar immediately thanked him profusely.

Afterward, Zhou Chun waved his hand and left alone with the Corpse Storage Bag.

This left Bahar, who hoped to glimpse what might be inside the Soul-Sealing Coffin, feeling a bit disappointed.

Ever since Batulu the High Priest took him to see the Soul-Sealing Coffin, he had been very curious about its contents.

This time while retrieving it, he hesitated many times about whether to open it and take a peek.

Anyway, should something go wrong, he could blame it on the Demon Beasts, claiming they had discovered the item and opened it prematurely.

But whenever he contemplated doing so, he couldn’t help recalling Batulu the High Priest’s warning and ultimately restrained his impulse.

Originally, he thought once the item was in Zhou Chun’s hands, he might indulge his curiosity.

Yet Zhou Chun had no intention of opening the Soul-Sealing Coffin in front of him!

After parting ways with Bahar with the Corpse Storage Bag, Zhou Chun headed straight to a certain location in the wilderness.

After some time of travel, he arrived at the place where Zhou Daoquan, who had transformed into a Ghost Cultivator, was secluded.

After becoming a Ghost Cultivator, Zhou Daoquan was trapped in this Land of Yin Fiend.

Even though the Beast Tide attacked Jingguo Country, he worried about the family’s safety and couldn’t help with anything.

Luckily, the Zhou Family didn’t suffer significant losses in the Beast Tide and gained the Spirit Mountain Blessed Land in the Green Lotus Mountain Range, bringing him great joy upon hearing the news.

Zhou Chun arrived here and was quickly detected by the small ghosts Zhou Daoquan raised, promptly appearing before Zhou Chun.

He then looked at Zhou Chun in astonishment and asked, “Zhengchun, aren’t you overseeing the Green Lotus Mountain Range? What brings you here today?”

“I just came over to deal with an old matter and dropped by to visit you!”

Zhou Chun smiled slightly and waved to remove the Corpse Storage Bag from his waist.

“Eh, this is a Corpse Storage Bag. Zhengchun, how come you’re carrying this thing?”

Zhou Daoquan was quickly drawn to the Corpse Storage Bag in Zhou Chun’s hand, exclaiming in surprise and looking at him with a puzzled expression.

Zhou Chun, however, didn’t rush to answer but cast a burst of mana, releasing the Soul-Sealing Coffin from inside.

“This is the Soul-Sealing Coffin. Is there perhaps a powerful zombie sealed inside?”

Unable to hold back, Zhou Daoquan spoke again.

“Whether it is or not, let’s open it and find out.”

Zhou Chun responded with an affirmation, then proceeded to open the lid of the Soul-Sealing Coffin.

As the coffin lid was opened, a foul odor rushed out from inside, followed by a figure wrapped in blue-black corpse aura leaping out, following the scent of the living and lunging straight at Zhou Chun.

But Zhou Chun was prepared for this; a golden halo surged from his body, forming a protective shield around him.

The figure struck the halo shield, unable to make it budge.

And Zhou Chun took the opportunity to clearly see the figure’s appearance.

The person still vaguely resembled the assassin from the Ice Hell Sect, but his head had swollen considerably, his mouth sprouted zombie-like fangs, and his eyes were like those of a dead fish.

As his strike was blocked by Zhou Chun’s protective divine skills, the fiend let out a roaring growl and spit out a stream of blue-black evil qi towards the halo shield in front.

Under the assault of this extremely chilling evil qi, the halo shield shook violently, and a chilling sensation was transmitted through its protection to Zhou Chun, making him feel his Divine Soul turn cold, slowing his mental processes significantly.
