215: Chapter 213: The former Dayu, now a corpse land

In Qiongsang Domain, Gu Shengge and Jun Mengqing returned smoothly, but the two had to part ways.

Jun Mengqing was very reluctant: "Benefactor, are you really not going to consider it? A beautiful and sensible woman like me would never be jealous."

"You should go back and deal with the Saint's death first!" Gu Shengge said.

Jun Mengqing had no choice but to leave, while Gu Shengge summoned Zhigui and hurried towards Qiankun Dao Sect.

On the way, he also inquired about the recent movements of the Corpse Cultivators.

The Corpse Cultivators were still within the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty. During this period, they launched several invasions against Qiankun Twin Provinces, but because preparations had been made in advance, they did not succeed in their sneak attacks and were successfully repelled.

After Gu Shengge learned this, he was no longer so anxious and went directly to the border of Qian Province to investigate.

The forces of Qiongsang Domain, led by Qiankun Dao Sect, formed the Qiankun Alliance and sent many Cultivators to patrol the borders of the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty. With the entire Qiankun Alliance as their backing, those Cultivators were not afraid of the Corpse Cultivator menace.

Gu Shengge arrived at an outpost on the edge of Qian Province. He looked down from above and did not disturb those Cultivators.

In the team, he saw Su Qinghuang, the Princess of Sibei Prince's Estate. She had now joined Qiankun Dao Sect and volunteered to patrol the border.

As Gu Shengge watched from the sky, Su Qinghuang below seemed to sense something and looked up, meeting Gu Shengge's scrutinizing gaze. She quickly ascended into the air.

"Greetings, Dao Child!" She bowed with cupped hands.

She was now composed and graceful, no longer as mournful, melancholic, and gloomy as when she first arrived.

Gu Shengge nodded slightly: "The Corpse Cultivators haven't launched a large-scale invasion. Do you know their main movements?"

Su Beihuang frowned slightly: "Dao Child, those Corpse Cultivators haven't launched a large-scale invasion. It's just that our people also cannot enter the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty. Every Disciple sent out to investigate disappears without a trace, presumably perishing inside. Now no Disciple dares to step into that cursed land. The entire Great Yu Imperial Dynasty has completely become a dead zone."

Gu Shengge looked at the border of the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty and said in a deep voice: "There has been no movement for so long, there must be a problem. I will go and investigate."

Upon hearing this, Su Beihuang's expression turned solemn: "Dao Child, the land of the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty is dangerous and should not be easily entered. For now, defense is the priority; do not easily step in."

Gu Shengge waved his hand: "It's fine."

Unable to dissuade Gu Shengge, Su Beihuang quickly said: "Dao Child, please take us with you! It would be good to have some support."

Gu Shengge looked down. There were over twenty Cultivators, two from Qiankun Dao Sect whom he did not recognize.

Seeing their eager eyes, Gu Shengge did not refuse: "Alright."

Gu Shengge opened a spatial passage in front, stepping on a Golden Dragon and entering it. Su Beihuang and the twenty-three Qiankun Alliance Cultivators also flew in after him.

Within the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty, all life had been extinguished, with no trace of vitality remaining.

Gu Shengge released his Divine Thought, quickly searching for traces of the Corpse Cultivators.

Under his Divine Thought, some information was quickly detected.

Tens of thousands of miles from their current location, a large number of Corpse Cultivators were gathered.

After investigating, Gu Shengge decided to go without much hesitation.

After Su Beihuang and the other Qiankun Alliance Disciples learned of this, they also wanted to see, so Gu Shengge opened a spatial passage, and they went together.

As they emerged from the spatial passage, they saw a large number of low-level Corpse Cultivators. They seemed to be under some command, unknowingly gathering here. The massive number of Corpse Cultivators gathered like a chaotic swarm of ants.

Su Beihuang looked at the Corpse Cultivators below, her expression complex. These were once the people of the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty, but now they had become this inhuman, ghost-like appearance, which was heartbreaking.

Su Beihuang said bitterly: "Dao Child, these are all low-level Corpse Cultivators; we can't see any clues!"

Gu Shengge flicked his finger, and a large expanse of Dao Fire fell. The gathered Corpse Cultivators were quickly ignited, and the scorching flames swept and spread, quickly igniting a large area.

During this time, those Corpse Cultivators seemed to receive some command and tried to disperse, but their intelligence was simply too low. The Corpse Cultivators burning with fierce flames ran around, igniting more and more Corpse Cultivators.

Gu Shengge then opened an independent spatial barrier, bringing everyone from the Qiankun Alliance inside, observing the situation outside from the shadows.

At the most intense moment of the flames, a high-level Corpse Cultivator finally arrived late. He saw the fiercely burning Corpse Cultivator army below, then looked around, trying to find the arsonist, but the surroundings were vast and empty, with no one in sight.

Gu Shengge and Su Qinghuang had been watching from within the independent spatial passage. The Corpse Cultivator before them was at the Soul Transformation Heavenly Human level, very powerful.

At this moment, there was a spatial fluctuation in the distance. After a while, a Corpse Cultivator emanating black Evil Qi walked out.

His clothes were very old, much like the Corpse Cultivators Gu Shengge first encountered. He should be one of the sources, and his cultivation had reached the Half-Step Dao Integration stage.

That Corpse Cultivator saw the scene below. He raised his hand and summoned the Soul Transformation Corpse Cultivator to him.

Although the Soul Transformation Corpse Cultivator possessed some intelligence, he still had no resistance against higher-level Corpse Cultivators.

The Source Corpse Cultivator raised his hand, gripped the Soul Transformation Corpse Cultivator's neck, and exerted force. A Soul Transformation Corpse Cultivator's neck was snapped.

The Qiankun Alliance Cultivators were filled with terror. Even a Soul Transformation Corpse Cultivator had his neck snapped with one grab, so what were they? They looked at Gu Shengge worriedly. If Gu Shengge found them displeasing and sent them out, wouldn't they die a violent death?

As they thought this, they suddenly realized that the surrounding spatial barrier had dissipated, and they had appeared outside.

In an instant, everyone felt a chill down their spine. One second they had witnessed the entire process of a Soul Transformation Corpse Cultivator's head being twisted off, and the next second they appeared before that powerful Corpse Cultivator. This situation was no different from watching someone's execution, only to be sent to the execution platform yourself the next second.

Gu Shengge saw their horrified expressions and was full of surprise: "No... what are you doing? So scared?"

Su Beihuang was also puzzled. Everyone was quite normal before, why were they suddenly so scared?

Gu Shengge estimated that they must have caused a lot of trouble for Qiankun Dao Sect in the past, which was why they were so nervous now.

However, now that they had all joined the Qiankun Alliance, he might bring up those old scores.

Gu Shengge raised his hand, and an independent spatial area reappeared. They were sent back inside.

Although Su Beihuang showed no abnormality, she was also sent into the independent space.

The Source Corpse Cultivator saw Gu Shengge, and intense hatred suddenly burst forth from his eyes.

"Gu Shengge, it's you again! Why do you always ruin our plans!"

Gu Shengge was confused and said in surprise: "You even know my name!"

The Source Corpse Cultivator was also stunned, his gaze shifting slightly, but it was still replaced by intense hatred. (End of this chapter)
