Chapter 403 - Corpse Heap
Chapter 403 –
Corpse Heap
Behind the manor waelatively busy street. Especially since it was in the morning, there were quite a few cultivators passing by.
At this moment, a strange spiritual energy fluctuation suddenly appeared on the street, causing the cultivators on the street to be on alert. They looked around, but didn’t see where this spiritual energy fluctuation came from.
The cultivators on the streets did not know what was going on, just in case something happened, they all dodged to the sides, and then they saw that the bluestone paved road was cracked and cracked, and then they saw that it extended all the way to the end, and at the end of it was a wall. The cultivators resident in Yu Cheng all knew, that this manor was the property of Ouyang Ming Clan, which currently controlled the entire Yu Cheng.
There were people after the Ouyang Family!
The cultivators on the street all had excited expressions, as if they were not afraid of the big trouble.
Crash! * * Crash! * This was just an ordinary manor. When the cracks in the ground extended to the walls, the walls of the manor instantly collapsed intile of rubble.
After that, the ground began to tremble violently, as if there was an earthquake. Wet soil began to roll out from the cracks in the bluestone path, and the rubble on the outer walls of the manor were also covered by the soil.
Many of the cultivators who had been hiding beneath the shops were unable to dodge in time. Even though most of them were cultivators, some of the weaker cultivators would probably smash their bags on the street, causing the streets to be filled with people running around and shouting in alarm.
However, none of them dared to scold loudly, as long as there was someone witigh cultivation level who was not knowledgeable, to be able to cause such a commotion, they had to use at least a spirit technique or sacred art, and some more knowledgeable people could even recognize that this sacred art was called the “clematis”, and the person who used it was not someone that most people on the streets would be able to provoke.
There was no movement on the street or in the manor, but a disgusting stench filled the entire street. Many cultivators who had experienced life and death before immediately changed their expressions, this smell could only be formed by a large number of rotting corpses that had just recently died.
This is the Yu Cheng, where did all these rotten corpses come from?
None of the cultivators on the street were fools. Even those who had yet to react, could tell instantly that the stench of corpses originated from the Ouyang manor. The sacred art that was suddenly displayed on the street must have been discovered by someone, who then intentionally opened the lid.
“Who dares to come to the Ouyang Family to behave so atrociously!” A loud shout suddenly came from the manor.
Soon after, another voice sounded from the manor, “Quickly, everyone repair the garden and erect the collapsed wall!”
However, it was too late. When the dozen or so Ouyang disciples ran over to the back garden, they saw that a large part of the garden wall had already collapsed, and the rocks on the wall had caved in strangely, forming a layer of earth that covered the area. The garden was still rising, and the bones that had emerged from the earth, the rotten corpses that had just been buried, and the dried corpses that had just been buried, were all lying on the ground.
“Ah, isn’t that the Great Saber Sun who disappeared the day before yesterday? Why is this man so tall that only his bones are left? If it weren’t for the fact that he was missing an ear and a scar on his cheek, I wouldn’t have recognized him!”
An exclamation suddenly came from the crowd on the main street. The street, which had been completely silent from the shock of the hundred corpses, immediately began to buzz.
“My son, how could my son die? How could he die in the Ouyang manor?”
An old cultivator suddenly rushed towards the manor like a madman, shouting loudly as he rushed to the manor, ignoring the dried corpses and the disgusting stench, dragging a corpse that had just begun to rot out of the half-buried soil.
“No mistake, absolutely no mistake, this is my son …”
The old cultivator suddenly stood up, and rushed towards the disciples of Ouyang Family who were in the backyard, roaring like a crazed demon: “God damn the Ouyang Family, you killed my son, why, why, why, ah —”
Before the old cultivator could even rush to the front, he was killed by a few disciples of the Ouyang Family.
There were more and more cultivators gathering on the streets, all of the cultivators from the various parts of the Yu Cheng were gathering outside the villa, and more and more people recognized the dried corpses that surged out from the ground, but there were even more dried corpses that were unrecognizable due to the rotting.
There was no doubt that the Ouyang Family was secretly massacring cultivators that had entered the Yu Cheng. Waves after waves of undercurrents began to surge amidst the cultivators that were gathering here …
At this time, Yang Junshan had long since secretly removed the formation to conceal his own Qi, even though he was inevitably being noticed by some people in the busy city, he did not care about it, and directly left the street. He then walked around the Yu Cheng a few times, and when news of the villa seemed to reach everyone in Yu Cheng, he had already quietly left the Yu Cheng and headed back to Mengyu County.
A few days later, when Yang Junshan returned to the Mengyu County from the Yu Cheng, the news that he received from the Yu Cheng also stunned the instigator, Yang Junshan.
After the secret of the Ouyang Family’s massacre of the Yu Cheng’s cultivators was exposed, the scene of the massacred cultivators becoming desiccated corpses quickly aroused the vigilance of many cultivators. Soon after, many of the businesses near the Yu Cheng that were under the control of the Ouyang Family were attacked by the unknown cultivators, and the disciples of the Ouyang Family also clashed with the Yu Cheng’s cultivators several times.
The situation had gotten out of control. Finally, some sects from the Yuzhou began to investigate this matter, because among the dried corpses of the cultivators, there were many disciples from the sects that were found.
Finally, the disciples of the Ouyang Family started to suffer from the pressure from both inside and outside. They started to denounce and criticize some of the disciples in the Ouyang Family for cultivating evil techniques, which could devour the flesh and blood of cultivators to increase their cultivation.
When the news spread, it practically caused an uproar in the Yuzhou’s cultivation world!
Very quickly, there was an internal conflict within the Ouyang Family. The first grandson, Ouyang Peilin, suddenly came out of closed door cultivation and wielded two spirit artifacts in his hands as he suddenly attacked and killed the clan elder, Ouyang Xin.
After the fall of the two Spiritual Masters, their flesh and blood were similarly devoured by Ouyang Peilin’s evil techniques, turning into corpses.
Ouyang Peilin was filled with terrible might, no one dared to stop him, so he led a group of his disciples out of the Yu Cheng, heading towards the west.
He lost three Spiritual Masters in an instant, leaving Ouyang Sen and Ouyang Miao behind, barely able to hold on. In addition to that, a group of the most outstanding direct descendants of the family, who had trained in the evil art of devouring flesh and blood essence, were all bewitched by Ouyang Peilin and had to leave the family. However, the Ouyang family had currently fallen to a state only stronger than the family.
Losing the Ouyang Family’s control, the entire Yu Cheng began to fall into chaos. The cultivators from various places, as well as the cultivators from various places in the Yu Cheng, formed their own factions and fought over the prices day after day.
After hearing the news, Yang Junshan could not help but sigh, the Ouyang Family had existed for more than a thousand years as a base force in the Yuzhou, and although he did not wish to turn the situation into chaos, he knew that it was because Ouyang Xulin had discovered his father’s demonic technique, which caused him to be devoured by Ouyang Peilin’s “Blood Transformation Art”, causing him to become a dried up corpse. Just that, he did not know what kind of thoughts he would have after hearing the news.
However, Yang Junshan had no time to think about the matters regarding the Ouyang Family anymore. After returning to the Xishan Village, Yang Junping immediately handed over the squeezed matters to him as if he had been granted amnesty, and went back into closed door cultivation.
Yang Junshan asked about the reason, but for some reason, he found that this brat was fighting with Su Baozhang, who was currently in closed-door training to break through to the baleful qi realm. This brat also couldn’t wait to break through to the third level of martial arts realm.
Facing this kind of competition, as long as it did not hurt his feelings, Yang Junshan would still enjoy it. However, he was quickly pressured by a bunch of things to the point that he did not even have time to breathe.
Although the Heaven-Shaken Sect had lost the Sunset Ridge mine under the joint attack of the Sirius Gate and the Opening Spirit School, the Heaven-Shaken Sect did not want to be outdone either. They started to work with the two sects on the southern border at the same time, and at the same time, obstructed the plans of the two sects to restore the mine.
The various parts of Mengyu County were not calm either. If it were not for the fact that Spiritual Master Chen Ji was strong, who knows what kind of tricks the other Prominent Classes would play.
The situation in the Wasteland Town was relatively calm. Currently, the strength of the Western Mountain Madame Yang was like a geyser, with almost twenty Martial Realm Cultivatond two late stage martial arts realm cultivators, Madame Yang and her son, being suppressed by their reputations. This was considered number one among all the clans in the Mengyu County, so the various villages in the Wasteland Town naturally did not dare to have any other thoughts under the feet of this enormous being.
After spending a few days of time to settle the backlog of things that had happened during this period of time, Yang Junshan received a piece of good news.
In fact, Yang Junshan himself was anxious to go into closed-door training foeriod of time. After returning from the Yu Cheng, he urgently needed to convert his gains from the Heaven-Shaking Peak into an increase in his own strength, especially the two slabs of stone that he brought back from the stone tablet at the entrance of the Heaven-Shaking Peak. The moment he thought of the possible secrets on the stone tablet, Yang Junshan felt like his heart was being scratched by a cat.
Finally getting the time he needed, within the secret room at the belly of the Western Mountain, Yang Junshan carefully took out two slabs of stone tablets. He placed the spirit spring water in the water bowl beside him on one of the slabs, and then began to use a millstone to polish the slabs little by little.
