Chapter 543: Conspiracy of Interest

m.How strong had this guy's cultivation reached Jian Tiangang was utterly shocked.“Since you refuse to cooperate, I can only see if I can find some clues from your spatial ring.” Lu Xia Tian said with..."Lu Daoist, if you don't want to get into trouble, it's best to stay by my side and don't move. As long as you stay with me, I can still restrain the Iron Corpse Sheath's actions. If you stray too far, once the Iron Corpse Sheath attacks you, I might not be able to stop it in time.

Chiyun Sang saw Lu Xiaottian's speed increase dramatically, a hint of strangeness flashed in his eyes, and the direction Lu Xiaottian escaped was, although perhaps not necessarily a path to survival, it was also the only correct direction at this moment. At this time, the prediction of the crisis and the reaction speed were actually faster than other cultivators."

Although Chi Yun Sang was transmitting a voice message to Lu Xia Tian at this time, her movements did not slow down in the slightest. She directly slapped He You Sheng, who was scrambling to get closer, with a palm strike.

He Yousheng was being chased by the iron corpse sheath, his heart pounding. His fish thorn weapon clashed with the iron corpse sheath several times, but it couldn't penetrate its body as hard as diamond. Even his full-strength attack only scratched its surface. On the other hand, the iron corpse sheath moved incredibly fast, twice nearly biting him. Its sharp claws also tore through his defensive spirit shield, leaving He Yousheng struggling to hold on. Just when he thought he was done for, Wang Duogu pulled him back. The iron corpse sheath abandoned him and pounced on another new Jin Dan stage cultivator. Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, it pierced his chest with a claw, creating a hole in his chest. When the cultivator came to his senses, the iron corpse sheath retracted its claws, holding a beating heart dripping with blood. It chuckled, swallowed the heart in a few bites after chewing it up.

The ferocity of the Iron Corpse's attack sent shivers down everyone's spines. He You Sheng, panicked at this moment, ran towards Chi Yun Sang for help. Unexpectedly, Chi Yun Sang not only refused to save him but instead shot a palm strike directly at him. Caught off guard, He You Sheng had his attention solely on the Iron Corpse. He hadn't anticipated Chi Yun Sang's sudden attack and was completely unprepared. The palm struck his abdomen square in the center, causing him to vomit blood and fly backwards. Before he could even react to why this happened, a sharp pain pierced his neck, as if something sharp had bitten into it. He You Sheng felt his soul being drawn out, filled with terror. But after being struck by Chi Yun Sang's palm, he was now also bitten by the Iron Corpse, leaving him weak and aching all over. Despite wanting to move, he simply lacked the strength.

The King Camel monster saw that his partner, without much resistance, had just been killed on the spot. He was horrified and cried out, "Good for you, Chiyun Sang! You were hiding your intentions all along and set up a trap here!"

At this moment, everyone had reacted, and a sudden wave of genuine horror swept through them.

"Now you're only reacting Isn't it too late" Chi Yun Sang stood with his hands behind his back, staring coldly at Wang Tuo Gui. His eyes looked at him like a clown. Throughout the journey, Wang Tuo Gui had been causing trouble, even inciting other cultivators to team up against him. He really thought Chi Yun Sang was helpless. He was just too lazy to bother. When they reached this cave, Wang Tuo Gui jumped around again, but he would still be caught and die. Chi Yun Sang originally wanted to kill Wang Tuo Gui directly, but seeing the terrified expression on Wang Tuo Gui's face, he suddenly changed his mind. Perhaps letting Wang Tuo Gui die under the claws of the Iron Corpse Sheath's minions would be more painful for him.

The Wang Duo monster suddenly cried out in pain, seeing that the iron corpse sheath had killed another person and was approaching. His face turned pale with fright, and without hesitation, two muffled sounds echoed from his back as two black qi surged out, forming a pair of black wings. With a flap of their wings, his speed increased dramatically. He circled behind the woman with white hair and jade flute, flashing several times before disappearing from sight.

“These few guys, their reactions aren't slow. Why don't you make a move to stop those who escaped!” After the Iron Corpse Sheath bit and consumed the white-haired jade Xiao woman’s essence blood, throwing her body aside, it looked at Chiyun Sang with an accusing tone.

“You’ve been running this place for how many years, no one knows it better than you. Besides, our agreement only said I’d bring a certain number of people here, never that I'd help you subdue them. The numbers are sufficient now, so you need to keep your promise and hand over the Xian Ying Guo.” Chi Yun Sang glanced at the Iron Corpse Sheath.

The iron corpse's face was stiff, showing no discernible expression, but a sneer emerged from its mouth, "No hurry, I'll give you the thing after I'm full. But the essence blood of the cultivators I'm consuming isn't enough yet, and I'm still unable to break the seal. When I recover some strength, won't your friend run away The Nascent Soul Fruit is only useful for human cultivators who condense their Nascent Souls. It has little use for our Corpse Sheath Clan."

“I hope you don't go back on your word. While others fear you, I assure you, if I truly set my mind to it, I won't just kill you, but I can at least do everything in my power to bring you back down to size.” Chiyun Sang said coldly.

Of course, I know your prowess, Daoist friend. There's no need to dwell on that. I'll speak again after I've absorbed some more essence blood.

“You can move the others, but you can't touch that silver-haired youth. I'll need him later.” Akikusō reminded.

"That silver-haired youth is quite a formidable array master, isn't he He knows this is your way of guarding against me. It seems my friend still doesn't trust me. Well, I'll leave him for you then. However, that boy is incredibly alert and probably already realized something was wrong with you. He was the first to run away, and he wasn't slow either. Don't let yourself fall into a trap." Tie Shi Sheh casually replied, his figure flickering as he dashed towards the other end of the cave.

“My own affairs, I know best in my heart.” Chiyun Sang replied coldly, keeping pace behind the Iron Corpse Sheath. He was surprised by Lu Xiaoteng's alertness and the burst of power he had unleashed when fleeing. He hadn't expected that Lu Xiaoteng, who had always been low-key and whose cultivation was only at the initial stage of Jindan, would have strength comparable to an average Jindan mid-stage cultivator. However, that was all. Even if he were a powerful Jindan beginner, he couldn't escape his grasp. The life and death of an ordinary array master didn't matter to Chiyun Sang at all. But for the Iron Corpse Sheath, he had to keep a hand, because he knew that this place sealed a Nascent Soul Fruit, which could be consumed directly or used to refine Nascent Soul Pills. Refining Nascent Soul Pills naturally had a higher chance of success. However, only the Iron Corpse Sheath knew how to break the seal. The cave had already been sealed by the formation. To prevent the Iron Corpse Sheath from having other ideas, he had to ensure that Lu Xiaoteng wouldn't have any accidents for the time being. After all, the Iron Corpse Sheath wasn't someone to be trusted. They were only exchanging benefits. Although forcibly breaking the seal could possibly damage the Nascent Soul Fruit, if the Iron Corpse Sheath wanted to break their agreement and betray him, he would have to force Lu Xiaoteng to break the seal.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!s his word. If he asks something, just answer him. Things are chaotic right now, and that lightning strike isn't entirely uncontrollable. Just stay far away from the Honghao Heavenly Court in the futu...
