41. Death of the Third Brother

He summoned all the skeletons he could and used all of his Qi to wrap himself in a Qi shield, and even with that, he still almost died.

For Fang Yang, this was another lesson. You really can't afford to underestimate anyone. Just one slip up can cost you everything.

Picking up a space bag on the waist of the charred corpse, Fang Yang turned to look at battle with the corpse puppet and senior brother Li.

The two didn't even have time to pay any attention to Fang Yang.

The fight was reaching the peak of furiously with fists and sword lights flashing everywhere.

Fang Yang saw the corpse puppet rip off its mask as it revealed its ferocious fangs and lunge straight at Senior brother Li, biting at his throat.

Senior brother Li dodged, but he didn't dodge completely, allowing the corpse puppet to still bite into his shoulder.

In that second, the corpse puppet injected a large amount of corpse poison from its teeth.

Corpse poison is a unique poison generated by zombies as they undergo the process of being turned. From that point on all zombies can produce corpse poison.

As the corpse poison poured into his body and entered his bloodstream, Senior brother Li's face paled.

A ferocious expression appeared across his face as he kicked the corpse puppet off of him.

But despite that, it was already too late. Fang Yang could see his shoulder turn grey as the poison spread.

After that, Senior brother Li still fought on ferociously for another 10 more minutes but it was all futile.

The fight had been over the moment he let the corpse puppet but him and injected corpse poison. At this point, it was only delaying the inevitable.

Eventually, Senior brother Li could only let off a tragic roar as the corpse puppet's giant hands wrapped around his neck and broke it like a twig.

Dragging along with it, the corpse puppet quickly came to the side of Fang Yang, standing to attention like the loyal servant it was.

Looking at the tragic appearance of the now dead, Senior brother Li, Fang Yang didn't have the time to pity him. So after retrieving the space bags of three dead cultivators, Fang Yang quickly fled the scene.

Fang Yang had to leave the mines as quickly as possible since all of his skeletons were destroyed in the last battle.

If Fang Yang ran into a slightly larger group of gold-eating mice he would be completely helpless.

If after surviving such a rough battle he died to a bunch of gold-eating rats, Fang Yang would quickly become the shame of all transmigrators.

Maybe it was because of this fact or simply his rather good luck, Fang Yang was fortunate enough to not run into any more gold-eating rats as he left the mines.

The first thing he did after leaving the mines was exchange his rat tails and pieces of spirit gold netting him as significant 20 spirit stones.

But after exchanging his spoils, Fang Yang's tasks weren't finished quite yet.

Fang Yang knew that what he saw in the western sector couldn't possibly be normal.

It was imperative to alert the Elders stationed at the mining outpost.

But even if he wanted to speak to the Foundation Establishment elders, Fang Yang wasn't familiar with any of them, so he didn't know who to speak to.

There were 3 Foundation Establishment Elders stationed at the mining outpost.

Since it was an important asset to the sect that could bring hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, the surrounding security would naturally be tight

He had already seen two of the elders stationed here.

The first Foundation Establishment elder was Elder Wan, who had taken him to the mining outpost from the sect.

The second Foundation Establishment elder was the handsome man he had seen that allowed their flying boat to enter the mining outpost.

As for the third elder, he barely showed his face and spent most of his time in seclusion, so it was impossible for Fang Yang to see him.

So after a quick internal debate, Fang Yang finally decided to see Elder Wan.

Although it was slight, they at least had a small connection, so it would be much better than going to a person who had never seen him before.

With that, Fang Yang started heading towards Elder Wan's residence.

As Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Elder Wan's residence was naturally located at the centre of the formation

Not just anyone could approach the elder's residence.

With them being at the centre of the formation, they couldn't afford to let anything happen to it.

That's why when Fang Yang approached the residence of Elder wan he was quickly stopped by 3 cultivators in black inner sect robes.

Looking at their cultivation, he could see that all of them were in the late stage of qi refinement. Two 7th level qi cultivators and one 9th level qi cultivator.

The 9th level Qi cultivator stepped forward as he called out to Fang Yang.

"Hold on. Where do you think you are going? This place is off limits. If you don't have permission to be here, then you can be detained."

As the 9th level Qi cultivator spoke, he looked at Fang Yang cautiously. He was familiar with the disciples that had a relationship with Elder Wan and he had never seen Fang Yang before.

If it wasn't for the fact that Fang Yang only had a cultivation at the 2nd level of Qi refinement and couldn't possibly be a large threat, he would have probably detained Fang Yang with force.

Elder Wan had told him he was doing something important these last few days and he should be on guard.

When he was faced with the overwhelming hostility of the cultivators in front of him, Fang Yang was a little caught off guard.

He had expected the guards to be strict, but he had never expected them to be so on edge.
