"The Primordial Corpse Transformation Sect?"

"Yes, it's definitely the infamous demonic sect from ancient times!"

"No wonder so many rotting corpses appeared on Cloud Broken Mountain. Could it be another contingency plan left behind by the Ancient Corpse Transformation Sect?"

"Good heavens, that makes sense now!"

"Cloudfall Mountain and Evil Burial Mountain are not far apart, and the two underground areas are probably connected. This is the root cause of the near-total annihilation of the young masters at the last aristocratic family gathering!"

"Also, when Prefect Niu and his group were investigating there last time, was that also a contingency plan left behind by the Ancient Corpse Transformation Sect? Was it also a powerful corpse puppet left behind by the Ancient Corpse Transformation Sect that killed Prefect Niu and the others?"

······

······

Countless people were thrilled and kept imagining what would happen next.

All the doubts and contradictions were instantly clarified.

Whether it was the massacre of the disciples of the aristocratic families or the killing of Prefect Niu and others, it was all related to the ruins of the Ancient Corpse-Transforming Sect!

"So, does that mean our case can be solved very easily?"

A patriarch of a powerful family spoke up in surprise.

The others' eyes lit up.

They came here to find out the reason for the deaths of Niu Sengru and others.

It seems that it was indeed the contingency plan left behind by the Ancient Corpse Transformation Sect that killed them!

"The Primordial Corpse Transformation Sect has been destroyed for nearly ten thousand years, how could they still have a backup plan?"

Kang Shou frowned and asked, puzzled.

"Has Clan Chief Kang forgotten? The Ancient Corpse Transformation Sect has a supreme treasure called the Corpse Nourishing Gourd."

This gourd possesses boundless power, and legend has it that it contains a vast universe, nurturing many powerful corpse puppets!

Zhu Li spoke sarcastically.

It is obvious that the Zhu family has a lot of information and records about ancient times.

Corpse-Nourishing Gourd!

These three words have stirred up even more people.

"Upon closer reflection, it really is possible."

"The corpse-raising gourd was never discovered before; it must have been buried deep underground."

After being buried for many years, the sea and land changed, and the mountains changed, which also caused the seal to loosen.

Then the rotting corpse crawled out of the corpse-raising gourd, causing the evil disaster of Cloud Break Mountain!

"Holy crap, that's definitely it!"

······

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, all looking shocked.

Even Chen Yuan was dumbfounded.

It seems that it really is just as everyone guessed.

A corpse-raising gourd?

This is probably an evil treasure.

Chen Yuan murmured to himself.

Some beings in the Purple Mansion were constantly watching Chen Yuan's expression and noticed that his shocked look clearly indicated he wasn't lying.

The ruins of the Ancient Corpse Transformation Sect not only left behind Heavenly and Saintly grade pills, but also corpse-nurturing gourds, and even the inheritance of cultivation techniques!

In particular, the cultivation techniques of the Primordial Corpse Transformation Sect were considered evil and demonic in ancient times.

But in today's world, it is undoubtedly an unparalleled divine treasure!

Upon hearing this, someone's eyes lit up, and they stared at Chen Yuan, asking nervously, "Did you also obtain the cultivation techniques of the Primordial Corpse Transformation Sect? Like the legendary Corpse Devouring and Spirit Transformation Technique!"

These words immediately caused an uproar among the crowd, who could no longer sit still.

The Corpse-Devouring and Spirit-Transforming Technique?

Everyone stared intently at Chen Yuan, eager to glean more information from him.

Chen Yuan's gaze froze slightly. "What great technique?"

"The Corpse Devouring and Spirit Transformation Technique is to devour a corpse and then transform the spiritual energy remaining on the corpse into one's own!"

Thus, by killing and turning corpses into weapons, one can strengthen their own spiritual power!

"This is an extremely terrifying demonic art!"

Someone excitedly shouted out the characteristics of this skill, and everyone's eyes immediately burned even brighter.

They stared intently at Chen Yuan, convinced that he must have a unique way of entering the Evil Blood Demon Cave, obtaining not only pills but also the Corpse Devouring and Spirit Transformation Technique!

That's why Chen Yuan's cultivation level has improved so quickly!

Now, everyone was tempted.

Even Zhu Xin looked at Chen Yuan in surprise.

"I didn't obtain the Corpse Devouring and Spirit Transformation Technique; I only obtained some heaven-defying pills. It was thanks to those pills that I was able to advance my cultivation level."

Chen Yuan shrugged, saying helplessly.

He doesn't actually have any "Devouring Corpse and Transforming Spirit" technique; he only has the Devouring Heaven Technique of demon gods and evil gods.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter whether you have the Corpse Devouring and Spirit Transformation Technique or not. If you don't want to die, you'll have to lead us into the Evil Blood Demon Cave and find the location where the Primordial Corpse Transformation Sect stores its pills. As for the Corpse Devouring and Spirit Transformation Technique, we'll find it ourselves then."

A patriarch of a powerful family spoke up, revealing the thoughts of everyone present.

Chen Yuan shrugged. "The Evil Blood Demon Cave is right there, it's not going anywhere. You can just go there yourselves."

"Besides, with the presence of a True Person of the Purple Mansion, what are you afraid of regarding those evil spirits?"

"Heh, no, this concerns the Primordial Corpse Transformation Sect, you must lead the way!"

Kang Shoudu became agitated and spoke with a sinister expression.

Even the prefect Niu Sengru and others are dead. Even if they are True Immortals of the Purple Mansion, they dare not be careless.

Chen Yuan had come out of there twice, and they believed that this kid probably had some kind of extraordinary luck.

Therefore, we must bring this kid along.

Li Wei and Nuomi exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock.

"Ah Yuan and the old man are going all out, aren't they? If they manage to kill all these Purple Mansion True Immortals... hiss, won't the powerful families in the city go crazy?"

Thinking of this, Li Wei felt a chill run down his spine.

"I don't want to go there. It's too dangerous. One wrong move and you're dead."

Chen Yuan seemed to have thought of something terrifying, and his expression immediately turned frightened. He shook his head like a rattle drum as he spoke.

"Ha, you have no right to refuse!"

A sinister figure in a purple mansion said, "Either you obediently lead the way, or we will slaughter the entire Chen family and force you to lead the way. The choice is yours."

The others did the same, staring coldly at Chen Yuan with murderous intent that cut like a knife, making Chen Yuan's face turn pale.

"Kid, you'd better lead the way."

Zhu Li was moved, and spoke in a hoarse voice, her eyes flickering uncertainly.

The pills and traditions of the Ancient Corpse Transformation Sect are so captivating that no one can remain calm.

An ancient demonic sect, appearing in this era? It's perfect!

"It's really dangerous there, people can die there. It's not that I don't want to bring them..."

Chen Yuan still wanted to refuse, his face showing lingering fear.

"Hmph, stop being so wishy-washy. Let him see the consequences of the Chen family members dying one by one!"

One of the Purple Mansion beings snorted coldly, and his aura suddenly erupted, about to strike Five Finger Peak.

"stop!"

Zhu Li's figure flew up and stood in the air.

At Zhu Xin's request, she still had to protect the Chen family.

"Hmph, you destroyed the Chen family for no reason, and the Prince of Zhendong will not let you off the hook!"

Zhu Xin shouted loudly and said coldly.

A powerful aura subtly flowed around her figure, but no one noticed that her feet were dangling in the air beneath her swaying skirt.

The others remained silent, thinking it made sense.

At least the Chen family had powerful backers; if they were wiped out for no reason, even they would have a hard time explaining it.

Especially her powerful backer, who is none other than the Princess Consort of Zhendong.

The others all looked at Chen Yuan and suggested that he be arrested directly.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan looked extremely aggrieved and reluctantly agreed to lead the way.

"Let me make this clear first: it's very dangerous there. I can take you there, but you'll be responsible for your own life and death."

Chen Yuan spoke again, looking at everyone with a grin, "Don't blame me when you all die."

Looking at Chen Yuan's sinister smile, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

But then he roared angrily.

"You little beast, how dare you scare us???"

"Hmph, we are True Immortals of the Purple Mansion, there is no evil spirit we cannot deal with."

"Our ancestor was incredibly powerful; you can lead the way!"

"Stop your fucking nonsense! If you dawdle any longer, I'll wipe out your entire Chen family!"

······

One by one, the heads of the powerful families, or their ancestors, were enraged and spoke out in a fit of anger.

Chen Yuan was too slow, which annoyed them.

"Okay, you guys are awesome, you're amazing, as long as you're not afraid of death, then I'll lead the way."

Chen Yuan spoke with a teasing tone.

Everyone fell silent.

Everyone thinks this kid deserves a beating.

Kang Changqing stared at Chen Yuan, already contemplating how to kill him inside the Evil Blood Demon Cave.

"They're both going too."

Suddenly, someone looked at Li Wei and Nuomi and couldn't help but speak up.

Li Wei and Nuomi hurriedly picked up the fish porridge and gulped down several mouthfuls.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan immediately went over, picked up the porridge and started eating, not caring that it was too hot.

"Hehe, eat up, and you can die of overeating."

Some members of the Kang family spoke in low voices, their faces contorted with rage.

Seeing that they were about to head to the Evil Blood Demon Cave, these three were still busy eating fish porridge?

Zhu Xin was also helpless.

"Boy, you can't die. You promised me that after you became the Grand Master of Wuxiang, you would go with me to the Western Frontier Prefecture to make contributions."

Zhu Xin walked to Chen Yuan's side and spoke in a low voice.

"Has my appointment letter arrived yet?"

Chen Yuan held a bowl of fish porridge in his hand, eating it heartily while asking curiously.

"I came down, but I was afraid things would be delayed, so I went to get it myself," Zhu Xin said softly, her breath sweet and her eyes alluring. "I'll give it to you when we return from the Evil Blood Demon Cave."

Chen Yuan, "......."

Chen Yuan was speechless. Damn it, this mature woman is always teasing him. Does she really think he's a child?

"Damn it, what's the point of eating? Let's get out of here."

Some clan leaders couldn't wait any longer. Seeing Zhu Xin and Chen Yuan whispering sweet nothings to each other, and even Chen Yuan leisurely eating his porridge, they immediately went over, grabbed his clothes, and flew towards the Tianqing Teleportation Array.

The same applies to Li Wei and Nuomi.

Zhu Xin narrowed her eyes, but this time she didn't stop him and immediately followed.

Thus, before Chen Yuan could finish his three bowls of porridge, he was taken hostage by a group of Purple Mansion Ancestors and aristocratic family patriarchs and taken to the teleportation array in Tianqing County, where he was teleported to Evil Burial Mountain.

······

On Five Finger Peak.

Chen Qingcang and other high-ranking members of the Chen family watched everything that happened at Palm Lake.

Seeing Chen Yuan being threatened, and the clan patriarchs constantly threatening to exterminate the Chen family, Chen Qingcang and the others were furious and ready to fight to the death at any moment.

"This is outrageous!"

Chen Qingtian roared, his eyes bloodshot and his fists clenched!

"hateful!"

"Their wife has gone too far!"

"But what can we do? Let alone a dozen or so Earth-level families, even if just one comes, we will have a hard time resisting it."

…···

The Chen family members spoke helplessly, their faces full of bitterness, especially when they saw Chen Yuan being escorted into the teleportation array by those aristocratic family patriarchs. They were both angry and desperate!

The other side is powerful, consisting of more than ten families at the Earthly Realm level!

Even the patriarch has come; he's a being at the Purple Mansion Realm!

Facing more than ten Purple Mansion True Persons, the Chen family members were no match at all.

"Big brother, A-Yuan has been captured by them. What do we do now?"

Chen Qingtian frowned and asked with concern.
