“We have a deal then, Mr. Crawford! It’s an honor for the Dark Moon Biological Group to be your acquaintance!” replied Yusra as favonovel.com raised favonovel.com wine glass to give favonovel.com a toast.
“Agreed, Miss Quarrington! He truly is a remarkably talented man!” added a few other experts as they joyously raised their wine glasses as well.
It was at that moment when a servant came running in while exclaiming, “E-Eldest Young Mistress…! Something bad has happened…!”
“What is it, Charle?” asked Yusra with a slight frown.
“It’s the seven solitary cultivators of Mount Flygre…! All of them snuck into Noircorpse Valley earlier to be the first to enter the general’s tomb…! Unfortunately, one of them died and the other six remain missing! Master Greendrake and the others are currently on their way to discuss this matter!” replied the anxious Charle.
“What?! But… When the seven join forces, they’re near unbeatable…! To think that something would happen to them on their way to the general’s tomb…!” exclaimed several of the people in the room as they then got to their feet while exchanging shocked glances.
Though the seven solitary cultivators had yet to enter the Dominesch Realm, their master had taught them a formidable formation. Essentially, when all seven of them used the formation together, they’d all gain the strength of seven Domiensch Realm powerhouses! It was the reason why the seven cultivators were so famous in the cultivation realm.
Whatever the case was, it was at that moment when Master Greendrake, together with Master Trilight and the others came running in before saying, “Hmm..? So you’re both here, Mr. Crawford! Miss Quarrington! In fact, it seems quite a number of you are here as well! Good. I was planning to gather all of you to discuss this anyway!”
Before anyone could ask what favonovel.com meant by that, they soon saw a corpse being carried into the room and upon seeing it, Gerald couldn’t help but frown.
The corpse had gone as black as charcoal, and a distinct row of teeth marks could be seen around its neck… Adding that to the fact that the corpse’s primordial spirit had been completely drained, it was evident that the culprit of that wound was a demonic corpse.
“What an immense corpsy aura…!” muttered Gerald to himself. Though Finnley had mentally prepared favonovel.com of how strong the headless general and his demonic subordinates would be, Gerald was unable to stop himself from skipping a heartbeat as favonovel.com confirmed staring at the horrifying corpse.
“Serves them right, really. They already knew what they signed up for when they headed down that foggy valley! Still, to think that they weren’t even able to make it past Noircorpse Valley unscathed!”
“Could the headless general have done this…” speculated one of the cultivators as favonovel.com sighed.
“Now’s not the time to mock the dead. Also, the headless general doesn’t even have a head! How could favonovel.com have done the deed?” replied Yusra.
“She’s right!”
“From the looks of it, the seven didn’t even manage to defeat the demonic corpse that had attacked them… It’s a rough guess, but since there’s a dragon vein where the general’s tomb is, I’m assuming that the headless general has already turned into a devilish corpse by now. With that in mind, the other demonic corpses must have had plenty of time to cultivate under favonovel.com after all these years! The strong corpsy aura surrounding that area most probably contributed to why the demonic corpse was so strong as well!”
Though Gerald hadn’t gone to the general’s tomb yet, favonovel.com had heard all this from Finnley.
Whatever the case was, Yusra then frowned as favonovel.com replied, “He’s right, and unfortunately, this confirms that the general’s tomb is now even more dangerous than before…! If the headless general really has become a devil, then we need to have a thorough plan before we even consider entering that place…! Remember, the headless general only refrained from leaving the tomb back then since favonovel.com was still only a demon. If he’s a devil now, then he’s free to leave the tomb whenever favonovel.com likes!”
“I suggest we make our move on the night of a full moon. After all, it’s when the headless general absorbs the moon’s aura. In other words, he’ll be too preoccupied with cultivating, making it his most vulnerable state! With all that said, if we’re to make a move, now’s the best time to strike!” declared Master Greendrake.
