Chapter 625: Chapter 359: Leaving
Refining Corpse Nan Ming’s Nanming Leaving Fire in his hands broke through Senior Brother Zhao’s Earth Evil Power defense, but Li Shiming did not let Refining Corpse Nan Ming continue using Nanming Leaving Fire to attack Senior Brother Zhao’s real body.
Given the power of Nanming Leaving Fire, it was feared that Senior Brother Zhao would be annihilated without a trace.
That would have been a great waste, as Senior Brother Zhao was a Golden Core cultivator at the Great Elder level. Once his own realm advanced further, he could attempt to refine the corpse of a Great Elder level Golden Core cultivator, transforming it into a refined corpse.
According to Li Shiming’s estimate, the body of a Great Elder level Golden Core cultivator, once converted into a refined corpse, would have a strength that was at least at the late stage of a Silver Corpse.
Currently, he had two bodies of Great Arhats waiting to be refined into refined corpses.
To other cultivators, refined corpses were merely an auxiliary tool for battle.
But for him, they had many uses, especially after reaching the level of a Silver Corpse; he could use them as researchers to replace himself at work.
He had many research projects, and naturally, the more Silver Corpses, the better.
The moment Refining Corpse Nan Ming retracted the Nanming Leaving Fire, Li Shiming’s Third-Grade Sword Foundation Magical Treasure passed through a tiny gap in the Earth Evil Power’s defense, piercing Senior Brother Zhao’s body.
Thunder Sword Intent and various Spiritual Power Patterns surged into Senior Brother Zhao’s body, severing his life force in an instant.
Li Shiming swept with his Divine Thought over Senior Brother Zhao’s corpse, took the Space Ring, and then stored the body in the time-stopping space of his Nascent Soul Level Space Ring.
The bodies stored here would not lose their Earth Evil Power, which also amounted to storing some Earth Evil Power for future use.
He retracted all the Silver Corpses and cleaned up the battlefield again, a process that took but two breaths of time.
Lotuses rose beneath his feet, and his figure vanished from the spot. After several flashes, he appeared beside the Righteous Gate formation.
Two breaths later, he had broken open a passageway in the Righteous Gate formation, and his figure instantly disappeared from the influence of the Earth Evil Sect.
A cenobite later, a terrifying oppressive force descended upon the battlefield where Li Shiming had just left.
Ancestor Lou Song arrived at the battlefield, his expression as somber as water, unable to contact his disciple. Just a short while ago, he had felt a foreboding in his heart.
The foreboding of a Nascent Soul Ancestor was definitely due to some event related to him.
The first thing he thought of was his disciple, and he hastened to the location reported by his disciple.
Ancestor Lou Song no longer needed to search for his disciple; he sensed his disciple’s battle aura here. Not only his disciple’s, but the auras of more than a dozen Golden Core cultivators.
Among them was a large amount of death aura, the presence of life withering away in a short time caused by the fall of powerful cultivators. Ancestor Lou Song, having extensively studied death, was very familiar with this type of death aura and could not possibly sense it wrong.
His gaze fell outside the gate, believing that the Golden Core cultivator who had mastered the ‘Earth Evil Demon Skill’ had already fled the range of the Earth Evil Sect’s influence.
“I will definitely find you; your soul belongs to me!” Ancestor Lou Song gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.
Only a Nascent Soul Ancestor would understand how much effort it took to cultivate a disciple at the Great Elder level.
Li Shiming, who had successfully smuggled past the Righteous Gate and penetrated a thousand miles into the territory of the Righteous Path, suddenly felt his scalp tingle.
“Did you say something bad about me!” Li Shiming couldn’t help but speak to the image coming from his life-binding magical treasure IBMz15.
The image was of the previous battlefield, and the image in the area was blurry.
He knew it was the Nascent Soul Ancestor there, probably realizing that all the Golden Core cultivators were dead, saying some threatening words, which made his scalp tingle.
He shook his head; he wouldn’t be visiting the Earth Evil Sect’s territory for a long time, so even if they investigated, they couldn’t find him.
At that moment, he thought of Ren Fei’er. The best choice to keep the matter concealed would be to eliminate Ren Fei’er.
Not to mention that Ren Fei’er’s parents were indebted to him, the mere fact that she was Yin Shilan’s sister made it impossible for Li Shiming to do so.
Li Shiming looked around. This place was safe, even if a Nascent Soul Ancestor were to chase him here, they wouldn’t be able to find him.
The Golden Core cultivator who had fought earlier had practiced the ‘Earth Evil Demon Skill’. He had used the ‘Sky Concealing Secret Technique’ to hide his Earth Evil Power, and since he didn’t major in ‘Earth Evil Demon Skill’, there was no trace of it on him.
With this assurance, he summoned the Meteor Ink Boat, placing the sleeping Ren Fei’er into the Flying Boat.
Ren Fei’er felt she had had an extremely comfortable sleep, the likes of which she hadn’t experienced in a long time.
As she woke up, she felt sensations from her body, as if a night’s sleep had enhanced her strength.
Only when she opened her eyes did she remember she had been traveling with Li Shiming, and somehow she had fallen asleep.
“Master Li, where have we arrived?” Ren Fei’er found that Li Shiming was still standing on the Flying Boat, and not inside it, and she asked with an undercurrent of sorrow.
“We’ve already crossed the gate; we’re heading to Inner Yang Mountain now!” Li Shiming replied with a smile.
Ren Fei’er was startled to hear this. She didn’t even know when they had left the Earth Evil Sect’s influence. How long had she been asleep?
Then she felt somewhat ashamed that she had slept through everything, letting Li Shiming take her through the most troublesome gate.
She didn’t doubt how Li Shiming had managed to get her through the gate; given Li Shiming’s status, doing so wouldn’t have been difficult.
