The old man shrank into his large robe, analyzing the pros and cons for Xu Qing, saying: "Everything must have give and take, never drain the pond to catch the fish. You are extraordinary, our sect is willing to work for you, and can forgive today's matters without blame, even honor you as an elder. What do you say?"
Xu Qing glanced at the Sect Master of the Yin Corpse Sect. This man could bend and stretch, truly a character. If he really followed what the other person said, the Yin Corpse Sect in a century, or perhaps not even that long, just a few decades, could possibly take another step forward, surpassing today's achievements.
But unfortunately, in his eyes, killing and refining corpses is indeed draining the pond to catch the fish. As the holder of the Sutra of Salvation and the Sutra of the Living, Xu Qing adheres to the cycle of life and death more than anyone else.
In today's evil world, with turbid energy descending, it's necessary to eliminate evil to correct the clean air. There's nothing wrong with that, but are all the Walking Corpses refined by the disciples of the Yin Corpse Sect truly unforgivable sinners?
The Mirror of Good and Evil had something to say.
Xu Qing simply did not act anymore, he was just craving these ready-made corpses, he just wanted to feast for free!
"Fellow Daoist, is there truly no room for reconciliation between us?"
Xu Qing laughed and said: "Open your eyes and look, is there anyone alive in your entire sect? All your life's efforts have already gone up in flames, how can there be talk of reconciliation?"
"Summon your Corpse Puppet, let me see what is so extraordinary about it."
Xu Qing was very curious. His aura was fully opened, and any zombies lower in level than him would be swayed by him, yet he had not seen the Sect Master's Corpse Puppet from the beginning to the end.
The old Sect Master took a deep breath and said: "I have no Corpse Puppet. Although I don't know how you manage to merge the abilities of the Corpse Monsters and still keep your mind clear, but I can clearly tell you this: in this Yin Corpse Sect, you are not the only one with this ability."
Hearing this, Xu Qing not only did not panic but instead leisurely replied: "Are you referring to the vase in the flower palanquin?"
"..."
The old Sect Master's expression froze, at this moment, he truly felt unsure of the young man in front of him.
"It seems I am truly old, I must ask my junior sister to judge."
However, from the palanquin came a barely audible cold laugh, clearly the owner inside the palanquin had no intention of intervening.
The old Sect Master sighed again, seemingly aging many years in an instant. He straightened his back, looked squarely at Xu Qing, and said:
"I have lived over three hundred years, though I have not refined a Corpse Puppet. Yet I have trained myself to a level not inferior to a Hidden Corpse."
"Young man, if you can defeat me today, the materials from my body, at least enough to refine a Hidden Corpse, will belong to you. If I defeat you, then I may have to break my oath and refine you into a Corpse Puppet for my use!"
Having said that, Xu Qing saw the old man's form resembling an eagle soaring through the sky, rising into the air, then diving towards him swiftly!
At the same time, the old man appeared with a crescent moon blade in his hand, with Gang Qi surging over ten feet, chopping straight towards him.
At that moment, it seemed as if the dark river of the sun and moon were not blocked by yin and yang, but by the blade light of this crescent moon blade.
Xu Qing was surprised.
"Celestial Person of Martial Dao, Dual Cultivation of Martial and Dao?"
This truly was something rare to see, he never expected that there was someone else besides him who could cultivate both the Dao and Martial to such parallel levels.
But when Xu Qing extended his Undying Bone claws and used the Scarlet Cloud Hand capable of neutralizing all kinds of weapons, the crescent moon blade in the old Sect Master's hands was immediately taken by Xu Qing.
"In the Martial Dao, I also happen to know a move called Cloud Hand Seizing Blade!"
Xu Qing's hand was wrapped in corpse energy like clouds. After neutralizing the Celestial Person's full-powered strike, he turned and said: "This move is called Tearing Clouds and Splitting the Sky!"
Finally, Xu Qing's figure flashed beside the old man, placing his claw on the old man's neck, and said with a light laugh:
"This is called Scarlet Cloud Throat Lock, just a small trick in the Martial Dao."
Xu Qing spoke honestly, he cultivated beyond the extremes of the Martial Dao's Heaven Gang Axe technique. If speaking of offensive martial tricks, he could be said to have reached the end.
"Undying Bone, surpassing the Martial Dao progression of Celestial Persons, are you human or ghost?"
A zombie who knows martial arts, even the gods fear.
Xu Qing grinned and said: "You lost, I want this body of yours! However, I will not refine you into a Corpse Puppet, nor will I, as you said, take command of all the corpses and Walking Corpses in this sect."
"Because I am not only a Corpse Driver, but also a Funeral Master who adheres to professional ethics. I came here solely for the funeral!"
