Chapter 283 - 259: Exterminating the Sect! (Double-Length - ) (Part 3)
"Go find the Changming Association and deliver this letter to their leader, and have him bring people here," Song Changming handed the freshly written envelope to the person in front of him and said.
"I will not fail you!" the Qi Refining Expert immediately replied solemnly.
Seeing him pick up a knife from the ground and leave in a hurry, Song Changming pondered for a moment and, just in case, wrote a few more letters, entrusting them to several strong Da Lai Martial Artists to deliver.
Ensuring that Liang Zhao Long would be notified without any mishap.
Not bringing Song Ping’an and the others on this trip was somewhat negligent.
To move all the spoils of the Corpse Refining Sect would be impossible without dozens of people and carts pulled by oxen and horses.
After these people had left with provisions, Song Changming stayed alone on the ruins of the great mountain.
Before long, black crows and vultures, drawn to the scent of blood, arrived in flocks.
They initially thought they would have a feast, but Song Changming flicked out several strands of Powerful Qi from his fingertips, like bullets shooting into the sky, killing the predatory birds and Fog Beasts drawn by the smell.
From them, he picked a few with robust Qi Blood for roasting bird meat and wings for eating today.
Besides satiating hunger, it also supplemented the daily Blood and Flesh Essence Qi needed for Body Refinement.
Even when away from home, no matter how dangerous the Outer Realm, if conditions permitted, he would still engage in cultivation appropriately, not letting time slip by in waste.
Perhaps because this place had long been the domain of the Corpse Refining Sect, even two days past, few Fog Beasts dared to frequent this mountain, and even fewer approached this area.
Only some predatory birds descended, becoming Song Changming’s food.
Song Changming estimated the time, reckoning it would still be some days before Liang Zhao Long could receive his letters and come.
Just at that moment, dense fog surged on the distant horizon.
Song Changming, sensing something, lifted his gaze.
Within the fog, several figures descended from the sky onto this mountain.
They were all dressed in black robes, exuding an air of mystery.
The few of them glanced around, their eyes falling on the bloodied corpses and the collapsed mountain gate in silence.
Until they saw the only living person on the mountain, Song Changming.
Their eyes met.
Song Changming also confirmed their identity, members of the Corpse Refining Sect!
The reason being the conspicuous yellow pupils under their black robes, clearly Yellow eyed Corpse Puppets.
"Was it you who acted, wiping out this sect branch here?" Qi Tian asked in a deep voice.
He also instantly recognized that Song Changming was not part of the Corpse Refining Sect; he was genuinely a Qi Refining Cultivator.
Song Changming’s heart stirred; the other’s tone and their descent from the sky made it hard for him not to overthink.
There were two of them, plus several high-quality Corpse Puppets!
"Arrived a step too late..." Qi Tian murmured, his expression gradually turning cold.
"Brother, the sect resources behind him are still there!" Qi Yun suddenly pointed to the numerous treasure chests piled up behind Song Changming and said.
"Taking these resources and finding the Green eyed Corpse Puppet materials promised by the branch sect leader, this trip won’t have been in vain for us."
Qi Tian nodded slightly, his brows easing a bit.
Though the process was somewhat unexpected, and the sect branch was gone, the benefits of coming here being obtainable was something he could accept.
"My elder brother asked you, are you deaf?" Qi Yun impatiently shouted at Song Changming.
"Are you from the Ancient Abyss Country? Disciples of the main Corpse Refining Sect?" Song Changming finally spoke, directly asking.
"This brat!" Qi Yun was exasperated and directly manipulated the two Yellow eyed Corpse Puppets beside him to attack Song Changming.
Intending to subdue Song Changming first and speak later.
Perhaps due to being from the main Corpse Refining Sect, the opponent’s two Yellow eyed Corpse Puppets had eyes that appeared clearer, and their body toughness was higher than any Yellow eyed Corpse Puppet Song Changming had seen before.
In an instant, the two Yellow eyed Corpse Puppets reached Song Changming, their massive fists striking fiercely.
Shadows loomed, the fist wind tore through the air with oppressive force, ruffling Song Changming’s hair.
Yet Song Changming remained unflustered, standing still without any intention to dodge.
Just when Qi Yun thought the young man was feigning mystery, Song Changming suddenly lifted his foot.
The Flying Thunder Technique was deployed, Thunder Light reappeared.
A swift side kick slashed through the air like a phantom, instantly hitting the side waist of the first Yellow eyed Corpse Puppet.
Amidst the sound of bones shattering on a large scale inside, the nearly three-meter-tall figure of that Yellow eyed Corpse Puppet was deformed and twisted by Song Changming’s kick!
Not only that, the first Yellow eyed Corpse Puppet collided with the second puppet, causing both to collapse from Song Changming’s single kick, crashing straight into the ruins beside.
"You!" Qi Yun’s eyes widened, looking at Song Changming again, his expression turned to one of disbelief.
That single kick just now was able to send his two Yellow eyed Corpse Puppets flying!
If this person were an Innate Martial Artist from the Ancient Abyss Country, it would be understandable, but the problem was he felt no Innate Aura from the other party nor any sign of Innate Qi Aura.
Lacking Innate Realm cultivation yet achieving this was the reason for his astonishment.
Boom!
The ruins exploded, and one of the Yellow eyed Corpse Puppets leaped out from within, seemingly still able to move somewhat.
As for the other one, having just taken a solid kick from Song Changming, lay motionless in the ruins, like a toy broken after being roughly handled.
Qi Yun hurriedly called back the movable Yellow eyed Corpse Puppet to assess the damage.
"Brother, once we capture him later, leave him to me to handle!" Qi Yun said angrily.
"Hmm, capture him alive, injuries allowed," Qi Tian did not overly comfort his companion brother and directly issued orders to the Corpse Puppet he brought along.
Next, the Corpse Puppet began to move, slowly removing the large hood covering its head.
Under the stiff face, a pair of eyes gleaming with eerie light was seen, not yellow but a ghostly green like those of a spirit!
It turned out to be a Green eyed Corpse Puppet!
