Chapter 439 Everything is Ready

"Oh? And what brilliant idea does Fellow Daoist Zhao have?"

Zhao Yuanren curled the corners of his mouth into a cold sneer and suggested:

"That little beast has been hiding in the Guqiu Domain for over a month without being discovered by the Corpse Clan; his breath-concealing methods must be unique."

"Since that's the case, we should find a way to expose him to the Corpse Clan. Given those zombies' craving for the flesh and blood of the living, wouldn't they swarm him and tear him to pieces?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Saint Guo Xun of the Tianxing Sect pondered slightly and said:

"I have some friendship with Grand Elder Xin Rong of the Iron Zombie School; I can invite him to come and dispatch the zombies under his command into the Guqiu Domain to lure the Corpse Clan to Yan Chu's hiding place!"

Zhao Yuanren's eyes lit up, and a look of joy appeared on his face:

"Good! Then I will trouble Fellow Daoist Guo to send a message to Elder Xin!"

The Iron Zombie School is also a Saint-Grade power in the Fusheng Domain. Although not as strong as the Zhao family or the Tianxing Sect, it still has three Saints presiding over it.

This School is famous for refining corpses. Using the zombies it controls to enter the Guqiu Domain naturally wouldn't result in being easily detected by the members of the Corpse Clan like they would be.

...

...

Rumble!!!

Inside the Guqiu Domain, a crack suddenly opened in a tall burial mound, and wisps of corpse Qi drifted out from the crack, hovering above the mound.

Amidst the corpse Qi, a figure with golden light flowing all over its body walked out of the burial mound; its form was gaunt yet upright, with broad shoulders and a thick back.

It looked toward a location dozens of miles away, a look of confusion appearing on its face.

Within its territory, in its perception, the aura of the closest Silver Armored Corpse suddenly vanished.

Normally, this wouldn't count for much.

But several days ago, another Silver Armored Corpse more than a hundred miles away also lost its trace.

These were all zombies under its command, originally mostly staying in their own burial grounds, absorbing subterranean Yin Qi, and rarely interacting with each other.

This was also determined by the characteristics of the members of the Corpse Clan.

Most of them had only just developed nascent intelligence, were taciturn, and stayed in their graves to cultivate according to their body's instincts.

Now that two Silver Armored Corpses had disappeared in succession, the Golden Armored Corpse could no longer sit idly by. It needed to go further away to investigate and see if the Silver Armored Corpses in other places had also met with mishaps.

It took a step, its heavy footsteps landing on the rotten soil as it headed into the distance...

"Fellow Daoist Xin, we still need to go deeper; it's over fifty miles away!"

Outside Shengjue Ridge, the three of them, including Zhao Yuanren, gathered around an old man.

This old man had messy hair like wild weeds, his two eyes were extremely murky and showed a greenish-white color, and his two fingernails were curved like hooks, a greenish hue, emitting a foul, rotting odor.

It was none other than Grand Elder Xin Rong from the Iron Zombie School.

After receiving the message from Saint Guo Xun, he immediately came to Shengjue Ridge.

At this moment, he was muttering incantations, having already sent the five Silver Armored Corpses he brought with him into the Guqiu Domain. Under his control, they were closing in on the location of Yan Chu that Zhao Yuanren had pointed out.

Naturally, they also knew how formidable Yan Chu was and didn't intend to rely on five Silver Armored Corpses to deal with him.

They just wanted to wait until they got close to cause a big commotion, attracting the Flying Zombies guarding the vicinity; that way, Yan Chu would definitely be unable to escape.

With Zhao Yuanren's tracking mark, Xin Rong's five Silver Armored Corpses were closing in on Yan Chu step by step.

Inside the Guqiu Domain, fifty-plus zhang underground.

Yan Chu's Divine Sense noticed this scene, and he couldn't help but frown slightly:

"Have I been exposed? Do these zombies have a special way of communicating?"

He looked at the Origin balance on the panel:

[Origin: 6.1]

He wasn't far from meeting the conditions for a Breakthrough.

"Screw it, I'll just deal with all of these first, and then immediately make a Breakthrough in my Realm!"

Thinking of this, Yan Chu decided to go all the way; he moved rapidly underground, speeding toward one of the Silver Armored Corpses.

"Fellow Daoist Xin, be careful! That little beast is approaching; he might have already discovered the Silver Armored Corpses!"

Zhao Yuanren hurriedly warned. A cold sneer appeared on Xin Rong's shriveled lips, and his whispering became rapid.

Only a loud boom was heard.

That Silver Armored Corpse, which Yan Chu had originally viewed as a target, suddenly detonated without warning, kicking up a massive wave. The rotten soil and dead leaves on the ground were all churned up, turning into a circular shockwave that spread outward.

"What the hell!!"

Beneath the ground, Yan Chu was startled. Did they have to be this decisive?

The power of the Silver Armored Corpse's explosion was nothing in his eyes.

The key was the commotion it caused.
