135: soul

Kaezir quickly contacted the Doctors Guild, seeing people in a panic as their bodies began to rot, and the doctors were clueless.

As soon as he arrived, he activated his technique and cleared many people in the area.

“Ikusa, go help with the war,” Kaezir said. He had already seen the battlefield not far away when he arrived here.

“On it,” Ikusa said, and immediately took off.

“Where are the elders?” Kaezir shouted angrily, gathering all the elders to the location at once.

“A tragedy is happening around you, and all you can do is hide here? What exactly are you doing?” Kaezir shouted.

“What else can we do, Senior? I can't think of any way to cure the disease,” someone said.

“This is not a disease. This is Corpse Qi. Use your Buddhist techniques to purify them. Two of you stay here and heal the people. The First Elder and I will go around and clean up the corpses in the City.

As for the rest of you, go to the battlefield and help our allies,” Kaezir commanded.

Everyone nodded, then immediately took off.

Ikusa finally arrived at the battlefield. He could see hundreds of disciples from the Pure Sect having difficulty in the battle.

“My disciples should arrive soon. They will help relieve some pressure,” he thought. Then, he saw a bald man in the crowd, who was fighting a group of blue-skinned female corpses, but there were too many corpses.

“Kacim, use your Buddhist techniques. Those are corpses, and they will die with your techniques,” Ikusa said. At the same time, he ordered the Rainbow Phoenix to burn all the different corpses while healing different people.

A golden aura appeared around Kacim, cleansing all the corpses around him. “How did you know that would work?” Kacim asked.

“Your father told me. They have Corpse Qi, so your Buddhist techniques can counter them,” Ikusa said.

“Tsk Tsk Tsk. To think this place has people with Buddhist techniques. And a bird with Phoenix flames?

I am truly unlucky.” A voice came from the sky.

Ikusa and Kacim both looked up. Above them was a woman in her 50s, floating in the sky, her skin so blue it almost blended with the night sky.

“That is…”

“What exactly are you doing, Ulkai? Why are you attacking this City?” Ikusa asked.

“Ulkai? Who is—Ah, yes. That's what they call this body, isn't it?” the woman said.

The two men both realized something was wrong, something was strange. “You… You are not Ulkai. Who are you?”

Ikusa asked.

“No, I am not. I just took over her body 2 years ago. My soul was destroyed, so I needed a lot of time to recover myself. I wanted to find myself an army of corpses, but who would have thought that this backward City was inhabited by Buddhists,” the person who took over Ulkai's body said.

“You took over her body?” Kacim couldn't help but feel shocked.

Taking over someone's body cannot be done without putting a part or all of one's soul into someone's body. The only way a person's soul is developed enough to be manipulated is when that person has…

“You are a nascent soul cultivator,” Ikusa said, shocked when he also realized it.

“Hmm? For people in such a remote place, you are very smart. You've done well in understanding what a nascent soul is.” The woman's condescending voice was very irritating.

“Two years ago… This means the triennial competition. Someone from the nascent soul realm participated in that competition?” Ikusa couldn't help but say.

“You are the mastermind behind the decline of the Eagle Sect. Have you been cultivating Corpse Qi for more than 2 years? But this requires tormented souls, dead people. Who did you kill?” Kacim asked.

“Oh, you're smart enough to realize that, aren't you?” the woman said with a sinister smile.

Ikusa and Kacim both had a sinking feeling. They immediately looked down at the battlefield, looking at the many women who were fighting.

“Where are the male disciples?” Kacim asked.

“Heh heh, dead,” the woman said with a laugh.

“You!” Kacim got angry and immediately took out a necklace with 108 brown beads imprinted on it. He held it with his right hand and made a prayer gesture with his left hand.

Ikusa took out a huge sword and a leopard with lightning stripes all over its body.

“Come on, I want to see how long you people from the Foundation Establishment realm can last,” the woman said, and immediately formed a defensive barrier with her Corpse Qi.

When Ikusa had his bird ignite it, flames spread around the sword. He immediately rushed forward and slammed into the barrier.

However, this seemed to have no effect on the barrier.

“You are strong, with Phoenix fire, but that is not enough to defeat my Corpse Qi,” the woman said, and suddenly struck Ikusa's face with a burst of Corpse Qi, causing his face to immediately begin to rot.

He had his Phoenix heal his face, but it wasn't as easy as the other low-level women he had fought so far.

“Amitabha.” The aura around Kacim widened until Ikusa entered it. The rot, which was being held back by the Phoenix fire, was immediately washed away.

The aura stopped after reaching the Corpse Qi barrier, unable to move further.

“Are you alright?” Kacim asked.

“Yes, I'm fine. Thank you for saving me. It seems my Rainbow Phoenix's flames are not fast enough to counter her flames,” Ikusa said.

“For this, we must cooperate properly. We cannot go and do our own thing,” Kacim said.

“Yes, I understand,” Ikusa said, and moved again. However, this time, Kacim also moved.

The woman just laughed even harder. “Come on, come on. I haven't been this happy in almost 5 years. Hahahaha.”
