Da Xuan Martial Saint

"Yes, yes..."

The remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Sect naturally lacked the spirit of a Martial Artist. At this moment, terrified, they looked at Chen Mu, who repeatedly responded, then couldn't help whispering softly, "The storage is at the bottom, in the deepest part of the Corpse Fiend Ten Directions Formation. But now that the formation has collapsed, that place has been buried by Earth's Veins and Corpse Fiend. We need to find a way to draw out the Corpse Fiend Qi before there's a chance to get close..."

However, after hearing his description, Chen Mu just gave him a faint glance and said:

"Lead the way."

"Yes, yes..."

The disciple of the Heavenly Corpse Sect dared not defy him, nodding continuously. Then he led Chen Mu deep into the cavern, soon arriving at a collapsed area, where he stopped, looking at Chen Mu somewhat cautiously.

Chen Mu didn't speak either. He reached out and grabbed him, stepping forward directly into the collapsed ruins, as if squeezing into a mud swamp. In an instant, he had crossed the collapsed area and arrived at the next cavern.

The disciple of the Heavenly Corpse Sect was shocked in place, looking back incredulously at the collapsed ruins. Only now did he realize how Chen Mu had reached the underground, his mind filled with disbelief as his Realm was still unable to comprehend Chen Mu's methods.

"Show the way."

Chen Mu, not wasting words, spoke directly.

In fact, relying on his own perception, he could also follow the traces to the deepest part of the Heavenly Corpse Sect's stronghold, but taking someone to lead the way was easier. Moreover, capturing a living person to hand over to Meng Danyun and the others might also interrogate some other information.

"This, this way."

The disciple of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, having recovered from his shock, responded submissively and quickly continued to lead the way. Thus, they crossed over seven or eight collapsed areas and passages, heading steadily downward, finally approaching the bottom part of the Heavenly Corpse Sect's stronghold.

Accompanied by the sizzling sound inside the corridor, dense grey mist of Corpse Fiend rapidly dispersed and receded as Chen Mu, holding the disciple, stepped into the cavern that was located at the deepest point of the Corpse Fiend Ten Directions Formation.

This place had been piled up with many boxes, but by now, most of them had been opened; some boxes were completely empty, while others contained various colored ores, unaffected by the Corpse Fiend Qi.

Shuā.

With an expressionless face, Chen Mu waved his sleeves, the flow of Qiankun Eight Phases surged, and instantly cleaned up all the Corpse Fiend Qi in the storage, then coldly said, "Clueless of life and death."

The Heavenly Corpse Sect's stronghold had gathered Heaven and Earth Spiritual Items over many years, obviously many were taken away, and what was left here wasn't very precious. The great battle above ground had lasted less than a short period of time; there was no time for anyone from the Heavenly Corpse Sect to flee with the treasures. Yet, the scene here was clearly after the collapse of the Corpse Fiend Formation, someone had infiltrated here and taken away some precious items.

Although there seemed no trace inside the entire storage, in Chen Mu's eyes, it was instantly evident that the flow of The Power of Heaven and Earth at a certain place in the cavern was somewhat peculiar, and the Earth's Veins were chaotic, indicating someone had escaped from there underground.

This place was located nearly twenty fathoms underground, even for someone in the Five Viscera Realm, it wasn't so easy to come and go freely; not everyone could truly perform the 'earth escape' technique like Chen Mu, they still had to dig to escape.

Shuā.

Chen Mu stepped out, following the clearly dug escape path, and didn't chase too far, only about a few hundred meters, before sensing several auras strenuously escaping into the distance.

As Chen Mu's form vanished, landing in an open space, he saw a narrow passage where several Corpse Fiends were desperately digging through the passage, and behind them was a man donned in a black cloak, carrying a bundle, and a steward of the Heavenly Corpse Sect.

"Chen Mu!"

The steward of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, sensing Chen Mu's presence, immediately showed a horrified expression.

He hadn't managed to escape underground when the incident happened and was buried by the collapsing Corpse Fiend Ten Directions Formation. But as a steward of the Heavenly Corpse Sect and having refined several Corpse Fiends, he wasn't likely to be trapped to death underground, still able to move.

Originally planning to drill to the surface, but thinking Chen Mu was above, going up might not guarantee an escape to the heavens, so he decided to flee underground. He then remembered the treasures of the Heavenly Corpse Sect and, seizing the opportunity of the collapsing formation, controlled the Corpse Fiends to dig all the way to the storage, took the most valuable spiritual items, and then fled continuously.

Even...

Worried that Chen Mu might be active above, he didn't dare to directly dig to the surface, but instead controlled the Corpse Fiends to dig hundreds of meters underground, planning to try escaping to the surface further away, but still ended up running into Chen Mu.

"Corpse Fiends ruined!"

The steward of the Heavenly Corpse Sect roared, attempting to resist stubbornly, controlling three Corpse Fiends to emit a mass of black mist filled with Evil Qi, completely stuffing and clogging the entire passage, trying to rely on the terrain to envelop Chen Mu within.

However, Chen Mu, as if deaf to it, merely raised his hand casually, the nearby Earth's Veins' soil flow suddenly vibrated, as if coming to life all at once, contracting and squeezing towards the center, instantly crushing all three Corpse Fiends along with the black mist Evil Qi, and then directly burying them underground, disappearing cleanly.

Boom!

The steward of the Heavenly Corpse Sect still tried to escape towards the surface, but was blown away by a casual strike from Chen Mu, and at the same time, the bundle he was carrying also dropped and flew out, caught by Chen Mu with an extended hand.

"Hmm."

Chen Mu, with a slight weigh, had not yet opened it, but already sensed several extremely strong spiritual object auras inside, obviously this Heavenly Corpse Sect stronghold had collected many valuable items over the years.
