Chapter 7: Corpse Demon

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Although he had not reached the Foundation Establishment realm and did not have any true essence, could not form a Nascent Soul, and could not separate his essence soul from his body, after three thousand years of continuous tempering, Bai Qiuran’s divine sense was very powerful.

Without the need for his essence soul to leave his body, his divine sense had already reached the level where he could use his will to activate a physical attack. It was even more terrifying than the attack of ordinary immortals.

Standing in the Rogue Mountain, his divine sense spread in all directions like a carpet. He easily found the location of the herbs he needed from the vast Rogue Mountain.

During this time, he even encountered a huge black snake that was about to transform into a demon in a mountain stream. This snake that had eaten humans wanted to devour him and was killed by his palm. At the same time, he also obtained a good-looking inner core. When the time came, he was prepared to add it to the pill furnace to increase the medicinal strength.

“Yes, this is the last medicinal ingredient.”

On a cliff, Bai Qiuran plucked a strange medicinal herb that looked like a person’s heart from the rock wall and put it into his storage bag before landing on the ground.

“Now, I have all the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill. I have to find the herbs for the Longevity Pill.”

Xue Ling’s deathly face appeared in Bai Qiuran’s mind, and his originally good mood became somewhat gloomy.

“Tsk, I’m really unhappy. Why can others jump out of the five elements after living for 3,000 years and live a long life? I’ve lived for 3,000 years, but I have to be targeted by a Soul Hunter every year. The world is really unfair.”

However, for the sake of his dream of reaching the Foundation Establishment realm, he still had to refine the Longevity Pill. Although the Netherworld could not do anything to him, it was still an important realm that maintained the order of the world. He had to respect it. Moreover, his master, Daoist Green Destiny, was still in the Immortal World. It would be bad if Bai Qiuran’s recklessness affected Daoist Green Destiny’s future in the Immortal World.

Thinking of this, Bai Qiuran did not delay any longer. He packed his storage bag and left this cliff. However, before leaving the Rogue Mountain, he still had a place he needed to go.

There were demons wreaking havoc in the Rogue Mountain, devouring the living and harming all living beings. As a member of the Green Destiny Sword Sect, no matter what others said about them, Bai Qiuran could not ignore this situation.

Previously, when he used his divine sense to scan the Rogue Mountain, he had also found the nest of that demon. Before leaving, Bai Qiuran decided to make a trip and kill this demon to prevent it from continuing to harm the common people. Coincidentally, the Yin aura there was dense. He also wanted to take a few medicinal materials to refine the Longevity Pill.

…

The Rogue Mountain Range was hundreds of kilometers wide. According to Bai Qiuran’s divine sense scan, the demon was hiding more than a hundred kilometers away.

In the past few days, while he was leisurely picking herbs, he also used his divine sense to monitor the movements of that demon from time to time. If it went out to harm people again, Bai Qiuran decided that he would chase after it and kill it before it harmed anyone.

However, after observing for the past few days, he discovered something strange.

The place where the demon was hiding was filled with resentment and blood aura. It also carried this aura on its body. It was indeed obvious that it had eaten many people. However, the frequency of its eating did not seem to be as frequent as the rumors mentioned.

When Bai Qiuran first captured it with his divine sense, this demon seemed to have just finished a hunt and was on the way back to its nest. However, it had been staying in its nest for the past few days to digest its previous prey and did not go out to attack anyone again. This was completely different from the greedy demon that seemed to have endless desires described in the rumors.

Bai Qiuran felt that there was probably something else behind this. However, he was not in a hurry. When the time came, he would kill that demon and find out if there had been any demon attacks in the nearby village during this period.

Raising a mouthful of true energy that was even purer than true essence, Bai Qiuran did not dawdle on the way anymore. His figure transformed into a mirage and arrived near the demon nest in an instant.

This was a sparse forest. Most of the vegetation in the forest had been corroded by the resentment and had already withered. The remaining trees that survived had also become very ghostly and sinister. Not far ahead of the forest with the withered trees was a strange and bare mountain peak. Under the mountain peak was the demon’s nest, a deep cave that led diagonally underground.

At the entrance of the cave, there were many white bones piled up. However, as Bai Qiuran moved quickly, he discovered that there seemed to be fresh blood at the entrance of the cave.

Realizing that the situation seemed to be strange, Bai Qiuran stopped and temporarily observed the situation.

“This is?”

After careful observation, Bai Qiuran discovered that there were traces of battle on the tree trunks in this withered forest. There were even some trees that had been slashed in half.

“Someone entered here? There was a battle?”

It was also possible for Bai Qiuran to not have noticed. Although Bai Qiuran had been using his divine sense to monitor the demon, after discovering the demon, in order to cut corners, he retracted his divine sense that originally covered the entire Rogue Mountain, leaving only one strand locked onto the demon.

Coincidentally, just now, in order to travel with all his strength, Bai Qiuran temporarily retracted his divine sense.

In the past few days, some martial artists had probably gathered outside the mountain and entered the depths of the mountain from another direction to find the location of the demon. Then, in the short moment Bai Qiuran retracted his divine sense, they fought the demon again.

As for the outcome, it was obvious…

Bai Qiuran glanced at the few incomplete corpses in the dead forest.

If they won, there would be no need for Bai Qiuran to come here.

Bang! Bang!

In the cave in front of him, a violent metal collision sounded. Hearing this voice, Bai Qiuran quickened his pace and quickly entered the cave.

There were still people alive, but from the sound of it, they were already in danger. Bai Qiuran was vaguely worried.

He recalled the young man who had drunk and chatted happily with him along the way. Long ago, at the restaurant by the roadside, when Tang Wei mentioned that there were demons in the Rogue Mountain, Bai Qiuran had already vaguely sensed his intentions.

This young master seemed to be very hostile to cultivators. Moreover, he had an inexplicable sense of responsibility towards the situation of the people of Profound Heaven Country. He would not seek help from cultivators, but he would not leave the commoners who were suffering from the demon alone.

In that case, he only had one solution. It was to gather the martial artists to suppress this demon.

Bai Qiuran originally thought that he would get rid of this demon before Tang Wei took action. However, he did not expect this inexperienced young master to actually have the ability to gather a group of people and act decisively.

Bai Qiuran had only been separated from him for a few days before that person finished gathering the people and brought a group of martial artists into the mountain to kill demons.

He hoped that the other party was not dead. Otherwise, it would be a pity.

Bai Qiuran quickened his pace and instantly arrived at the cave from outside the forest with the withered trees. In the underground cave that was about hundreds of square meters, Bai Qiuran saw two zombie demons covered in a mess and their bodies were tattered. However, they were vaguely emitting black aura as they forced their way towards the only survivor in the cave. Their goal was the Tang Wei that Bai Qiuran had thought of.
