123: The mission of leaving the pearl

Fang Huai's eyes narrowed slightly; his history with this Black Fiend Centipede was quite deep.

Back when he was sold into the Human Puppet Hall, it had played a part in it.

Now, seeing it die of greed, he didn't feel much satisfaction from getting revenge, but rather a sense of sorrow.

The Sect Head's mount, a Foundation Establishment Stage Demon Beast, once incomparably glorious and roaming the Corpse Fiend Sect for years, could ultimately only turn into a handful of yellow earth.

He took out two stalks of poison heart grass, put one in his own mouth, and pointed the other toward the Sect Master Peak, lighting it with spiritual fire and turning it into flying ash.

"If there is a next life, don't be a centipede demon beast. Be an ordinary centipede, and perhaps you'll have a peaceful end."

After saying this, he stepped onto his Flying Sword and sped toward the exit guarded by the Danxia Sect... Leaving the Corpse Fiend Sect's territory, Fang Huai resumed the appearance of Fang Three, stepped onto a Winged Bat, and headed toward Sanxian City.

It was almost time to process the poison sacs for Deng Qingyang again; he couldn't delay the hour and affect his plans.

Under the cover of night, he first returned to the No. 8 Purification Bureau.

The blood jade tree grew extremely fast; it had grown another three feet while he was away and had sprouted three branches.

After summoning Wu Yue, a clump of black Evil Qi appeared at Fang Huai's fingertips, and he said, "My son Wu Yue, I will say a sentence, and you will repeat it after me."

Li Zhu pouted and said, "Tsk tsk, he's already calling you father, yet you're still guarding against him?"

Fang Huai glared at her and said, "If you have so much to say, then come over here too."

Li Zhu's body trembled a few times and quickly shriveled up, transforming herself into a fox fur coat and hanging herself on the earthen wall.

"Okay..."

Wu Yue's intelligence was low; he only knew to do whatever Fang Huai said.

"Wu Yue swears to be forever loyal to Fang Huai..."

"Wu Yue... swears... to be forever... loyal to Fang Huai..."

"If I betray Fang Huai or harm Fang Huai, my Divine Soul shall be extinguished."

"If... I betray Fang Huai... harm... Fang Huai... Divine Soul... extinguished..."

The black fiend drifted from Fang Huai's fingertips and merged into Wu Yue's Sea of Consciousness.

With the constraint of the oath, Fang Huai felt much more at ease.

Although the other party had been refined into a Living Corpse by him and had become dim-witted, his Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage strength was still there, so he was still worried about any changes.

He plucked several blood jade leaves, turned them into red mist, blew them toward Wu Yue's nose and mouth, and said, "Absorb these."

Wu Yue nodded and inhaled the red mist, allowing the Blood Jade Worms within the red mist to dive into his body.

"Now I will teach you a technique. The technique is called the Insect Concealment Art. You must Cultivate it well."

After Fang Huai finished speaking, he took out a blank Jade Tablet, imprinted the Insect Concealment Art from his Sea of Consciousness onto it, and gave it to Wu Yue.

Seeing the Jade Tablet in Wu Yue's hand crumble, he immediately felt relieved; fortunately, although the other party was dim-witted, the instinct to learn Cultivation Techniques was still preserved.

"Now, Cultivate according to the cultivation methods of the Insect Concealment Art."

"What... is the Insect Concealment Art..."

"The technique you just learned," Fang Huai had a bad feeling.

"What... what did I learn..."

"Is there no extra information in your brain?"

"There is... strange... don't understand..."

Fang Huai was speechless; he had still overestimated the other party. The other party's current state was like a one-year-old child; he could receive information but had no idea how to use it.

"Hee hee hee hee, Brother, the way you teach your 'good son' is really funny," Li Zhu raised her fox head from the wall and laughed.

"Laughing, you're laughing? Come, I'll give you a task."

Fang Huai peeled Li Zhu off the wall, shook her into human form, and said, "Starting today, you are responsible for teaching Wu Yue the Insect Concealment Art. If you can't teach it to him within a month, I will cut off your fox tail and make you a tailless fox."

"Me teaching this idiot? And if I can't teach him, you'll cut off my tail? You're not joking, are you?"

"I'm not joking." Fang Huai took out the skinning knife and rubbed the blade against the base of Li Zhu's tail a few times. "This Fang means what he says."

Li Zhu thought to herself, how could this guy Fang Huai be so narrow-minded? She had only laughed a few times, and now he was making her teach an idiot.

But seeing Fang Huai's fierce gaze, she swallowed her saliva and said, "I'll do my best!"

Fang Huai grabbed her tail again: "If it's just 'doing your best,' then I'll cut off your tail right now."

"I will definitely teach Wu Yue!"

Li Zhu stood face-to-face with Wu Yue, teaching the cultivation method to him step-by-step, word-by-word.

However, Wu Yue's Comprehension Ability was too poor. Li Zhu, who could originally talk to Wu Yue patiently, gradually became irritable. Finally, she jumped up and gave Wu Yue's head a swipe with her claws.

Wu Yue was in the Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage and had the enhancement of the Blood Jade Worms; his physical strength far exceeded Li Zhu's. Li Zhu's claw only left a faint scratch on him, which healed automatically after a few breaths.

Fang Huai wanted Wu Yue to learn the Insect Concealment Art so that it would be convenient to take him along.

Furthermore, if he couldn't even learn the Insect Concealment Art, how could he make Wu Yue learn the Vow Fiend in the future?

The scene of Shen Yuan leading Zhang Zhu, who was also a Living Corpse, and using the Vow Fiend to restrain the various Cultivators of the Tianyuan Secret Realm was still fresh in his memory.

Fang Huai could completely use Wu Yue to control a large group of people. If Wu Yue's Lifespan was insufficient, he could just go to Lingxi City to find Jin Xiaoxiao and supplement some prion longevity for him.

He gave Li Zhu a one-month deadline to teach Wu Yue the Insect Concealment Art because he wanted to test Wu Yue's Comprehension Ability. If he couldn't even learn the Insect Concealment Art, then Wu Yue could only serve as a combat puppet.

When that time came, he would have to refine another Living Corpse with higher intelligence.

He soared into the air and arrived at the warehouse.

At this time, the carcasses of Yao Beasts in the warehouse were piled up like mountains, most of them low-level Yao Beasts of the first to third levels of Qi Refining. The waste room on the side was filled with Yao Beast remains that the Cultivators didn't want.

Based on the remains, Fang Huai calculated that during the days he was away, the Yun Family Sisters had processed at least thirty low-level Yao Beasts.

"It seems the Yun Family Sisters haven't been lazy. I should also go back and visit my cheap wife."

The night was as dark as ink, and Fang Huai's figure moved like a ghost through the outer city of Sanxian City.

Two night watchmen patrolling the streets were chatting idly.

One of them said, "Have you heard? Since that Corpse Fiend demonic sect was destroyed, the Resentful Souls of the Cultivators who died unjustly have all been released.

If you feel a chilly, ghostly wind around you, it must be a Resentful Soul that has set its sights on you."

The other person said disdainfully, "Your story isn't scary at all. Isn't it normal to have a bit of cold wind in the middle of winter? How could that possibly scare me?"

Just then, Fang Huai's figure flashed past.

His speed was extremely fast, so fast that the two watchmen couldn't see his form. They only felt the surrounding air being pulled along with a whistling sound, and a chill spread through their bodies.

"A Resentful Soul?"

The two looked at each other, terror suddenly appearing in their eyes. They immediately ran back to their respective homes, swearing to quit their jobs as watchmen tomorrow... Fang Huai's toes tapped the ground as he leaped into the courtyard of the Yun Family Sisters' home.

Seeing that there were no lights in the house, he knew the Yun Family Sisters had already gone to sleep. He gently blew open the door latch and walked in slowly.

As Yun Hui's husband in name, he walked openly into Yun Hui's room and lay on the soft bed.

After reaching Qi Refining Perfection, his need for food and sleep had significantly decreased, but the habit he had cultivated for decades still made him take a short nap every day.

To his surprise, as soon as he lay on the bed, Yun Hui woke up and said joyfully, "Husband, you're back!"

"Yes, I'm back," Fang Huai replied flatly.

Unexpectedly, Yun Hui moved in a flash and hugged him tightly. "You're finally back. The days of being alone in an empty room are really hard to bear."
