Starting with the Corpse-Eating Worm, he worked his way up to become the Left-Winged Immortal Lord.

boom--

The three stone coffins resounded with a deafening roar.

The corpse energy rippled outwards, sweeping across a hundred feet, generating a huge suction force like a vortex and rushing towards the two insects.

Without hesitation, Gu Qing immediately controlled the Void-Shattering Shovel Beetle to unleash its Void-Shattering power, instantly breaking out of the area covered by the corpse energy.

The corpse-eating worms were a little slow and failed to dodge in time. They were immediately entangled by the corpse energy and dragged towards the stone coffin.

"This is definitely not a purple zombie."

Gu Qing was shocked.

The only option is to control the corpse-eating worms to continuously resist the entanglement of the corpse energy.

Fortunately, the Corpse-Eating Worm was a third-tier insect that had evolved three times, but the corpse energy could not completely control it.

But Gu Qing really couldn't think of any way to break free.

Left with no other choice.

Gu Qing could only maintain the stalemate.

"The corpse energy has such a powerful suction force that neither white zombies, black zombies, nor purple zombies have this ability. That leaves only one possibility... the coffin contains a flying zombie! Because flying zombies can drain a cultivator's life essence from a distance."

The story of the flying zombie was rarely mentioned. Gu Qing only learned about it from Li Shoutian, the Taoist priest who had died guarding the mortuary.

Purple zombies can enter the second tier.

Comparable to a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

However, if a zombie wants to reach the third tier, it must evolve into a flying zombie.

Even the weakest flying zombie is stronger than a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, and could even be comparable to a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator or a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator. Given the current strength of the Five Peaks Temple, once they emerge from their coffins, the three of them will pose a greater threat than the Heavenly Principle Sect.

"Did they grow up in Wufeng Temple, or did Wufeng Temple seal them here?"

It's probably not a pet.

After all, if Wufeng Temple had the foundation to raise flying zombies, how could the Corpse Path have no presence within Wufeng Temple?

That was most likely bestowed by Wufeng Temple.

"How powerful must the person who sealed three flying zombies be to do that?"

Just as I was wondering...

A voice transmission came from inside the stone coffin.

However, it was not a transmission of divine consciousness.

It's not a feeling of being dead.

It comes from the aura of corpses.

"Who dares to ride an insect and trespass into the forbidden area of ​​Wufeng Temple, disturbing this old man's cultivation?"

Gu Qing was taken aback.

Are flying zombies sentient?

What's going on?

He had never heard of the existence of zombies.

"Since you're here, why hide? Don't let this old man look down on you!" the flying corpse in the stone coffin transmitted again, its tone full of disdain. "If you dare not show yourself, then your insects will not leave this place today!"

Gu Qing dared not respond.

After all, he was a corpse thief.

If the other side finds out, who knows what will happen? So the only option is to control the corpse-eating worms and maintain a stalemate with them.

"I never expected that the flying zombies in this dark place would be cultivators from the Wufeng Temple... Could they be the former abbot or deputy abbot?"

Gu Qing had no doubts. After all, the deputy abbot and the abbot neglected the affairs of the abbot because they wanted to improve their cultivation and even try to compete for the Foundation Establishment Dao Fruit. If someone felt hopeless about progressing, they might really switch to unorthodox cultivation.

Those who turn to unorthodox paths are mostly extreme, so it's not surprising that they end up turning themselves into flying zombies.

however.

The stalemate lasted for several hours without any resolution.

The corpse energy continued to tightly bind the corpse-devouring worms, giving them no chance to escape, and the corpse energy from the stone coffin seemed inexhaustible.

"No, this can't go on like this." Gu Qing decided to try talking to this senior from Wufeng Temple.

What is certain at present is that the other party is unable to get out of the stone coffin.

This way, there will be plenty of room for discussion.

"senior."

Gu Qing immediately transmitted his voice through the corpse-eating worm.

The flying zombie in the coffin sneered, "So you opened your mouth now that you knew you couldn't escape?"

"My name is Deng Hui, a cultivator from Wufeng Temple. I have stumbled upon this place by mistake, please forgive me. The reason I am not speaking is because I have secretly refined a few words of Purple Zombie and am worried about being reprimanded by you, senior," Gu Qing said frankly.

"One of our own?" The flying zombie in the coffin asked in surprise. "Our Wufeng Temple has actually produced a late-stage Qi Refining Insect Master?"

"May I ask who you are, senior?"

Gu Qing did not participate in this topic.

Because if we ask a few more questions, we'll be exposed sooner or later.

"I won't mention my name... Come forward and let me take a good look at you, this third-tier alien insect... Corpse-devouring insect... It doesn't seem like it... This is the first time I've ever seen such a strange alien insect." The flying zombie in the coffin seemed quite interested.

At the same time, it loosened the entanglement of the corpse energy.

Upon seeing this.

Gu Qing's suspicions lessened somewhat.

If it weren't for the senior members of the temple, how could they have contained the corpse energy?

"Senior, please look..." Gu Qing controlled the corpse-eating worms to move forward, but stopped abruptly when they were thirty feet away from the stone coffin.

The corpse-eating worm sensed a peculiar yin energy.

In the past, he wouldn't have cared.

After all, this is a place of darkness.

All types of yin energy can be present.

However, just a few days ago, he extracted a wisp of special Yin energy from Chen Ye's heart, which was familiar with the blood and energy of Xu, the deputy abbot of the Heavenly Principle Sect.

retreat!

Gu Qing did not hesitate.

The corpse-eating worms immediately stopped in their tracks.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths!

The corpse-eating worm split into two again.

The main body disappeared again, while the two phantom insects separated and fled.

"You little brat from Wufeng Temple, you actually saw right through me!" The flying zombie in the coffin transmitted its anger, and its corpse energy surged again, entangling the phantom worms. "You think you can escape? Tell me honestly, how did you see through me?"

Gu Qing remained silent.

The flying zombie in the coffin was enraged.

"Your Tier 3 Zerg will never get out!"

Gu Qing remained silent.

He is waiting.

Waiting for the flying zombie in the coffin to say something else.

that's it.

Gu Qing waited for another three hours.

The flying zombie in the coffin finally lost its patience. "Kid, we can make a deal... Do you want to establish your foundation?"

"If you had the ability to establish your foundation, would you still be trapped here?" Gu Qing sneered.

The flying stiff in the coffin panicked. "If it weren't for the intervention of the Foundation Establishment cultivators from Xuanqing Academy, how could I be trapped here? I was just one step away from obtaining the Foundation Establishment Dao Fruit! If you release me, I will give you the Foundation Establishment method!"

"Give it to me first."

Gu Qing responded directly.

"Don't go too far, brat. If you don't help me, you insect tamer will be stuck in the Qi Refining stage for the rest of your life!" the flying zombie in the coffin threatened telepathically.

Gu Qing fell silent.

He pretended to be thinking.

"I don't have that ability right now. I need to refine more second-tier purple zombies, but if I refine too many, the yin energy of the yin land will be affected, and I will inevitably be discovered." Gu Qing explained his predicament.

The flying zombie in the coffin transmitted a faint laugh, "What do you mean, 'I can't believe it'? I can easily nourish this Yin land by releasing some corpse energy. As for those purple zombies, you can refine them as you please; it'll also give my disciples a release."

"Are these all your disciples?"

Gu Qing frowned.

The flying zombie in the coffin did not respond.

Clearly, they didn't want to talk about it.

"Enough with the nonsense, all you need is this old man. How long do you need?"

Gu Qing replied, "I don't know."

"Are you playing me for a fool?"

"If you don't want to trade, you can always find someone else. I'll just give up this third-tier alien insect."

"Alright, alright... You refine it first. I'll maintain the Yin energy of this Yin place for you, and I'll make sure no one finds out."

Left with no other choice.

The flying zombie in the coffin had no choice but to compromise.

Immediately afterwards, the corpse energy that bound the Phantom Corpse-Eating Worms also dissipated.

"He agreed after just a casual threat. It seems this old guy is very confident in his Foundation Establishment method. If it were a hundred cultivators, probably ninety-nine would fall for it. Unfortunately, I won't, because I don't lack Foundation Establishment methods."

Gu Qing smiled calmly.

With the help of this flying zombie, he could now confidently refine those second-tier purple zombies.
