I Am Immortal in Great Yu

Chapter 246: Chapter 99: Yan Snake (Part 2)

Seven or eight breaths later.

This vision of absolute evil then popped like a soap bubble, ceasing abruptly, as if everything that had just happened was a mere illusion.

With it, the hazy gray light from the giant Burial Flower that had shrouded all of Nanshan Garden like a Barrier also vanished, dissipating as quickly as morning mist in the sun.

Of course, a chilly, sinister aura still lingered in the air, refusing to disperse.

This was especially true within Nanshan Garden itself. Under the bright sun, the breathtakingly beautiful scenery now exuded an inexplicable sense of eerie terror, like a graveyard in the dead of night.

DING!

After completely shattering the giant Burial Flower, the Secret Treasure, the Martial Extreme Sword, seemed to have exhausted its power. Its light dimmed as it fell from the sky. At a signal from Zhou Changfa, Sun Shouchai sealed it away with a Spirit Talisman.

On the field, everyone from the Divine Capture Bureau—the Jade Seal Divine Hunters, Golden Seal Renowned Hunters, and Silver Seal Chief Constables—as well as the members of the Zheng Family, all breathed a long sigh of relief as they watched the giant Burial Flower shatter and the gray light shrouding Nanshan Garden fade away.

"Our bureau’s Secret Treasure, the Martial Extreme Sword, is so incredible. Forget the final strike—I feel like just one of those Crimson Light Sabers from before would have been enough to severely injure me," a Golden Seal Renowned Hunter exclaimed in awe.

"Yes, what a powerful Secret Treasure! What a powerful Great Sun True Yang Array! It seems the Zheng Family really paid a steep price to clean up this mess," another Golden Seal Renowned Hunter nodded.

"I wonder what price the Zheng Family paid to convince our Divine Capture Bureau to use the Secret Treasure, the Martial Extreme Sword?" a Silver Seal Chief Constable muttered.

"Who knows? Anyway, I heard the rewards for this operation won’t be small."

"Oh, right. When that giant Burial Flower shattered just now, I seemed to..."

"Shh! Quiet! Don’t talk about it!"

...

Fang Rui also felt a sense of unreality. ’Is it over just like that?’

But on second thought, it only felt normal. After all, the Great Yu’s foundations were unfathomably deep; it would be far more illogical if unexpected problems kept cropping up.

’Of course, this also reveals just how practiced the Great Yu’s high-level Martial Artists are at ’devouring people.’ They have a wealth of experience in handling all sorts of unexpected situations,’ he mused.

"Don’t relax, this isn’t over! The parts of the Burial Flower that drifted down and scattered into Nanshan Garden must be cleared out as soon as possible to prevent them from re-forming... Everyone, hold your activated Jade Talismans. Approaching them is enough to disperse them... Attention! The restricted areas marked on the map are strictly off-limits. Violators will be responsible for the consequences..."

A Jade Seal Divine Hunter approached the Seventh Grade Chief Constables and gave the order for them to enter Nanshan Garden.

After the giant Burial Flower was destroyed, its power was greatly reduced. At the very least, Low Grade Martial Artists would no longer die instantly upon entering.

However, there was still residual Yin Qi, resentment, and Evil Qi that needed to be purified.

Chief Constables like Li Dadan and Xun Buhe had come for this very purpose. Compared to ordinary people, their resistance was much stronger, making them perfectly capable of handling such a task.

"All you Chief Constables have another mission."

Sun Shouchai spoke up. "That giant Burial Flower, which seemed to touch the sky, was formed from most of the Zheng Family ancestor’s True Essence after his breakthrough to the Second Grade, mixed with a vast amount of extreme resentment... And in the midst of such intense resentment, his body has most likely undergone a corpse transformation."

"And don’t underestimate it. When the corpse of a Second Grade Martial Artist and its residual True Essence are tempered by extreme resentment, Yin Qi, and Evil Qi, the resulting Yin Corpse, even without any intelligence, is powerful enough to match a Third Grade Peak Martial Artist!"

"Today, our final mission is to hunt down and destroy the Yin Corpse that the Zheng Family’s ancestor has become."

...

Fang Rui noticed that while Sun Shouchai was speaking, the Director of the Divine Capture Bureau, Zhou Changfa, was putting the Martial Extreme Sword back in its box. He clearly had no intention of using the Secret Treasure in the upcoming battle to hunt the Yin Corpse.

’Something’s not right. If the Yin Corpse is that powerful, why would he put away the Martial Extreme Sword? Could there be some unavoidable difficulty?’

’It seems the Secret Treasure, the Martial Extreme Sword, isn’t as simple as it looks. There must be a price for its use, or maybe it consumes something,’ Fang Rui mused.

He wasn’t the only one who realized this.

The Fourth Grade Jade Seal Divine Hunters frowned thoughtfully, as if they had figured something out. The Fifth Grade Golden Seal Renowned Hunters looked confused but dared not ask. As for the Sixth Grade Silver Seal Chief Constables, they were completely in the dark.

Zhou Changfa put away the Secret Treasure, the Martial Extreme Sword, looked at the two Jade Seal Divine Hunters from the Zheng Family, and ordered, "It’s your family’s turn. Immediately send people to search for the location of your ancestor’s Yin Corpse. Send a signal when you find it!"

He naturally wouldn’t send the Divine Capture Bureau’s Silver Seal Chief Constables to do such dangerous work; he was even reluctant to send out the Seventh Grade Chief Constables.

Since the people from the Divine Capture Bureau weren’t going, it naturally fell to the Zheng Family to fill the gap.

"Yes, my lord. Please wait a moment." Zheng Jinghan gave a look to the person beside him.

Immediately, the other Jade Seal Divine Hunter from the Zheng Family, Zheng Jingwei, nodded in understanding. He led a large number of the Zheng Family’s Seventh Grade Martial Artists deep into Nanshan Garden, fanning out into the core area to search for the Yin Corpse.

’This kind of search is essentially using human lives to scout the Yin Corpse’s location.’

A realization dawned on Fang Rui.

In comparison, the Divine Capture Bureau’s Seventh Grade Chief Constables were cleaning up the remnants of the Burial Flower on the outskirts. It was almost risk-free, just grunt work.

’But this is how it should be! The Zheng Family caused this disaster. If they don’t take the lead in handling it, who else can they expect to?’

’Besides, the Yin Corpse of the Zheng Family’s ancestor is likely in the core area of Nanshan Garden. The Zheng Family wouldn’t be at ease letting people from the Divine Capture Bureau go in there,’ he mused.
