Chapter 216 Elder Awakens

Xiangzhou, Floating Corpse Cave, Corpse Mountain Cave A deacon of the Corpse King Sect came to the top of the corpse mountain near the exit and knelt on one knee to salute a sapphire coffin.

"Disciple Qin Xianyuan respectfully asks the Sixth Elder to wake up!"

As he spoke, he also stretched out his hand on the sapphire coffin. As he began to use the strange power in his body, the coffin suddenly shook.

"Click~"

With a soft sound, the lid of the sapphire coffin was opened, and then an extremely rich death breath filled the gap.

This gray-white death energy is extremely poisonous to any living creature, and ordinary creatures will die if it touches it, but its only function at this moment is to allow the elders of the Corpse King Sect to sleep.

"Sha~Sha~"

As the sapphire-colored coffin lid was slowly pushed open from the inside, an old man wearing a gold-threaded purple robe with an old face and exuding majestic and strange power slowly sat upright.

As the old man opened his eyes, Qin Xianyuan, the deacon of the Corpse King Sect, became more and more respectful, because the man in front of him was Lu Jie, one of the six remaining elders of the Corpse King Sect!

"Hu~hu~"

Lu Jie, the sixth elder of the Corpse King Sect, opened his eyes and glanced around. Then he took a deep breath, and all the death energy escaping around him was sucked into his chest.

The whole process was like a whale swallowing a cow, and there was no way to tell how this old man did it.

"Why did you call me?"

After absorbing all the death energy around him, Sixth Elder Lu Jie asked Deacon Qin Xianyuan who was still kneeling next to him.

His eyes were pure black, and even Qin Xianyuan's living dead body couldn't help but tremble when he glanced across it.

"Disciple Qin Xianyuan has met the Sixth Elder. The reason for awakening the Sixth Elder this time is that there is a problem in the forbidden area."

Upon hearing his inquiry, Qin Xianyuan immediately reported to him, but when he said this, he was afraid that he would anger the powerful and moody Sixth Elder in front of him.

"Forbidden area...the corpse master's boundary monument has begun to fail?"

Upon hearing Qin Xianyuan's words about something going wrong in the forbidden area, Lu Jie immediately looked inside the entire corpse mountain cave, and then discovered that the accumulated corpse energy here was obviously much thinner.

When he slowly turned his gaze back, he discovered something even more unusual. There were several empty coffins at the foot of the mountain of corpses where he was!

"Where did everyone else go?!"

This situation instantly made Lu Jie a little dissatisfied, so he directly questioned Qin Xianyuan next to him.

The Corpse Master fell into deep sleep and the forbidden area was sealed. The Corpse King Sect withdrew from the battle with the outside world. The disciples of the Corpse King Sect who left the forbidden area without permission before the Corpse Master woke up must be severely punished!

"Reporting to the elder, this matter is strange!"

When Lu Jie asked Qin Xianyuan, he immediately replied, after all, that was how he woke him up.

"A few days ago, a puppet seemed to have inexplicably broke into the forbidden area. It was later discovered and destroyed by the disciples. In order to prevent outsiders from snooping into the forbidden area through the puppet, the guard at the time arranged for the disciple to leave the forbidden area to eliminate future troubles."

"But later that disciple left the forbidden area and never came back. At that time, the guard believed that something had happened outside and that the disciple was of low strength, so he awakened several disciples to leave the forbidden area for support."

"But this time, there was still no response. The guard realized that something was wrong, so he woke up his subordinates and reported the matter to his disciples."

At this point, Qin Xianyuan couldn't help but pause, because he could tell from the changes in the Sixth Elder's face that the other party was full of impatience and anger.

But he was still confused about this matter now, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to explain:

"This disciple has never encountered such a situation, so we can only arrange for him to lead more disciples to leave the forbidden area to investigate."

"Not many abnormalities were found outside the cave where the forbidden area is located. There are indeed some problems with the boundary markers left by the corpse owner, but we can't repair them, so we can only continue to go out to investigate the situation."

"The guard also has a warrant left by the corpse owner. Logically speaking, even if he encounters danger and is defeated, he will not have no choice but to come back."

"But it has been several hours now, and I still haven't received any contact... I was worried that someone was setting a trap specifically to target us, so I didn't dare to make my own decision, so I woke up the Sixth Elder."

After hearing his description, the Sixth Elder directly cursed:

"Waste! Idiot! What nonsense! Did you all sleep your brains into mud!?"

"The Corpse Master's forbidden area, anyone who trespasses will die!"

"This is the original order from the corpse master. Since the other party dares to come, all the disciples guarding the forbidden corpse mountain should be awakened to kill him until he is covered with blood and bones!"

"Could it be that my Corpse King Sect has not appeared in the world for too long, and the world can no longer remember the prestige we once had!"

The reason why Lu Jie really felt angry was not because those disciples were still missing.

For them, disciples are just slaves that can be summoned at any time. What makes him angry is that since he is a disciple of the Corpse King Sect, he can act in such a petty manner!

They are a top-level sect with saints in charge. Even if their strength was damaged due to the fight with the Three Saints of Great Xia, they are not something those cats and dogs can afford to offend!

"Yes! Disciple acknowledges his mistake! Disciple acknowledges his mistake!"

Feeling Lu Jie's anger, Qin Xianyuan could only lower his head in response, but the next moment he was sent flying straight away and hit the cave wall heavily.

"Bang! Click!"

Qin Xianyuan's bones were broken and his internal organs were damaged. He looked like he was about to fall apart, but he stood up from the ground without any care.

"Thank you, Sixth Elder, for showing mercy!"

Because he knew that it was a blessing to be able to save his life. As for the damage to his body, it was no problem for the living dead. As long as he replaced it with a suitable corpse or strange limbs, it would be fine.

"Humph! Forget it this time!"

Lu Jie responded to him and then began to think about who was targeting them.

Although what he said just now was full of murderous intent, it was obvious that the other party seemed to be deliberately luring them out.

"Could it be those three guys?"

"No, no, no, before the Corpse Lord fell asleep, he said that the three of them could no longer attack us!"

As the culprits who caused the silence of the Corpse King Sect, the Three Saints of Daxia were naturally the first objects he thought of.

But he soon realized that it should not be the other party, for two reasons.

The first is that although the Corpse Lord was defeated that year, the foundation of the saint was still there.

They have now closed themselves off and hidden themselves, and the Three Saints of Daxia can't do too much, otherwise the corpse master will go crazy and destroy everywhere, and the Three Saints of Daxia can't bear such losses.

The second point is that if the other party really wants to take advantage of the corpse master before he wakes up, he will directly attack the forbidden area, instead of the disciples going one after another like now.

This behavior, which is similar to fishing, seems a bit petty, and the Three Saints of Daxia will not test them through such means.
