"Ugh, this pill is really smelly."
Du Feng smelled the stench of the pill and almost vomited the food he had last night.
"Nonsense, how can you fool the emissaries without the stench of a corpse?"
No wonder it smelled so bad. It was the smell of rotting corpses. If Du Feng wanted to fake his death, not only would his bodily functions have to be suspended, but there would also be signs of decomposition. As long as his body was not completely dead, the emissaries would not be able to capture his soul.
"Find a place to eat, not in the Thousand Moon Nation."
"I suggest you try to go to the volcanoes."
After the master of the Martial Arts Pavilion gave him the pill, he also wiped his hands in disgust. The smell of the decaying pill was too disgusting. However, his suggestion was very good. If he pretended to be dead in the Thousand Moon Nation, it would be too easy to expose himself. Before the emissaries arrived, Du Feng's body would be destroyed by his enemies. In that case, a fake death would become a real death.
Moreover, if he captured the emissaries in the Thousand Moon Nation, it would be easy for others to expose him. At that time, he would probably implicate the Seven Basaltic Mansions. If he pretended to be dead in the volcanoes, it would be very normal. Martial artists who were adventuring in the volcanic region reported that there were deaths and injuries every day. Often, there would be martial artists whose souls were not saved and were eventually taken away by the soul reaper or the emissaries.
In addition, there was another advantage to being in the volcanoes. The fiery environment there had a certain restraining effect on the emissaries. When the time came to fight, they would have a slight advantage. If the emissaries were to come, they would not be able to defeat them in the end. Not only would they have wasted their time, but they would also not be able to forcibly take away their souls.
Since the emissaries had come, they would not go back empty-handed. Someone had once turned a fake death into a real death. Although the fake death of the physical body could be recovered when the effect of the pill wore off, the soul had already been taken away. Even if the physical body regained its functions, it would be useless. At most, it could be used for others to take over.
"Okay, I'll keep it in mind."
Du Feng held the smelly decaying pill with his left hand, but he did not put it into the medicine bottle. Because this thing was very special, it could not leave the body. Once it left the body, the medicinal effect would begin to fade. Therefore, even the master had to carry it in his arms. In order to prevent others from smelling the stench, he would usually wrap it with his true essence.
Uh … Du Feng didn't want to keep such a disgusting thing in his pocket. He had no choice but to hold it in his left hand. In order to draw a clear line between him and the Seven Basaltic Mansions, he did not use the Teleportation Formation in the Martial Scripture Pavilion. Instead, he left Star-Moon City by himself, heading towards the volcanic region outside the city.
He found a karst cave and went in. He set up a few formations in the karst cave. He also had Xiao Hei and the Ghost Servant hide well. He also had Zhuang Bishi command the Banner of White Bone to set up an ambush. This time, he lay down and took the Decaying Pill.
The smell of the decaying pill was really terrible. If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to achieve a state of suspended animation, Du Feng really wouldn't want to eat it. Enduring the stench, he finally swallowed the decaying pill. As soon as it entered his stomach, he felt cold all over and dizzy.
"Damn, did I get scammed by the old man? Why do I feel like I'm poisoned?"
If it weren't for the fact that Du Feng was immune to all poisons, he would really think that he had been tricked by the old man into taking the poison. The feeling of cold all over and dizziness in his head was too similar to being poisoned. As it turned out, he wasn't poisoned. It was just that his bodily functions were gradually weakening. His heartbeat was getting slower and slower, and his pulse was getting weaker and weaker. His breathing was gradually disappearing, and his skin was also showing signs of dehydration. His internal organs first hardened, and then softened. In fact, softening was actually a phenomenon of decay.
Well, the imitation was quite similar. Du Feng was in a state of suspended animation, but his mind was still very clear. He could clearly observe the condition of his body. His current appearance would definitely be able to deceive the emissary. He just had to wait and see if the emissary would come.
Just as he was thinking about this problem, a hole suddenly opened up in the ground. It was a dark and bottomless hole. It wasn't a hole that existed in the natural world at all. Instead, it was a black hole that spanned across realms. The emissary didn't come to capture the soul step by step. Instead, he opened up a spatial passage from the netherworld to the location of the corpse in the mortal realm.
"Eh, this dead body looks very familiar."
White Impermanence stretched out a red tongue that dragged on the ground. She held the white bone banner in her hand and floated to the side of the corpse. She took a closer look and felt that the corpse looked a little familiar. Then, she thought about it. Wasn't this kid Meng Po's enemy, Du Feng? Just as she was about to report to Meng Po, she found that the black hole in the ground had disappeared.
"White Impermanence, it seems that my luck is not bad this time."
Du Feng activated the array formation and sealed off White Impermanence's escape route. His physical body was still in a state of suspended animation and couldn't be used for the time being. He had to fight White Impermanence in his spiritual form. Even if his physical body wasn't in a state of suspended animation, he still couldn't use it. Because if a human martial artist with a living physical body killed the emissary, it would be equivalent to provoking the entire netherworld.
Du Feng was currently putting on a show. The general plot was that his physical body was dead, but his soul didn't want to be captured by White Impermanence, so it resisted fiercely.
"Kid, your luck is terrible."
Because Du Feng's physical body had always been strong and didn't show any signs of weakness, Meng Po couldn't find an opportunity to capture him. Now that his physical body was dead, his soul couldn't find a place to reside. It was a good time to capture him and ask Meng Po for a reward.
"Kakaka …"
White Impermanence smiled slyly and waved the hook in his hand, grabbing at Du Feng. There was a long chain tied to the back of the iron hook, which was specially used to capture souls. Regardless of whether it was a human soul or a ghost cultivator, once they were hooked by this iron hook, they would be paralyzed and unable to move.
"My luck is very good. You're the one who's going to die today."
Du Feng, who was in his spiritual form, didn't panic. He lightly leaned to the side and dodged the hook. Then, he brandished his sword and charged at White Impermanence. Although he couldn't use his physical body, the strength of his spiritual body was still very strong. He could still use the Azure Sword.
"Master, watch me."
Du Feng's sword was extremely powerful, causing White Impermanence to retreat in fear. Just as he was at a loss of what to do, another sound came from behind. It turned out to be a ghost servant, waving a ghost head broadsword to attack from behind. White Impermanence couldn't dodge in time, and his white robe was cut open.
"Little ghost cultivator, you're courting death."
Although they were both ghost emperors, the emissary was much stronger than ghost cultivators. He swung the iron chain in his hand and whipped it at the ghost servant.
"Oh no!"
The ghost servant was tall and mighty, but he was still very afraid of the Black and White Impermanence. As a ghost cultivator, he would be afraid of the underworld. After all, they were considered poor people in the underworld, and the emissaries were officials in the underworld. The people shouldn't fight with officials. This was an unchanging truth.
