Gu Ding looked around, then turned to Jiang Yu and said, "Let's go. Let's find a place to settle down first. We'll talk about the future in the future." Jiang Yu responded, then followed Gu Ding into the teleportation array and walked out of the teleportation plaza.
As the two walked outside, Gu Ding asked Jiang Yu, "Jiang Yu, how much do you know about this place?"
Jiang Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know much. I'm just an outer disciple of the sect. I've never left the sect's sphere of influence. I've only heard of this place, but I don't know much about it."
Gu Ding nodded and said, "Alright, then we'll find a place to settle down first. Then we'll understand the city's situation before making other plans. Let's go." Jiang Yu nodded, then he followed Gu Ding and Jiang Yu into the city.
Yin Ghost City was very prosperous. There were a lot of tall buildings in the city. These buildings were very tall, some of them reaching more than 100 meters.
And these tall buildings were actually used for living. This was beyond Gu Ding's expectations. He didn't think that there would be real estate in a place like the Devil Spirit Realm.
Naturally, there were also all kinds of shops in the city. The things sold in these shops were naturally things used by cultivators. Moreover, one could often see cultivators going in and out of these shops.
There was no one flying in the sky in the city. It was clear that flying was prohibited in the city. Jiang Yu didn't show any discomfort towards such a large city. The Battle Corpse Sect was also a large sect. The Battle Corpse Sect also had large cities like this. Since Jiang Yu was a disciple of the Battle Corpse Sect, he had been to a large city like this before. Naturally, he wasn't surprised. As for Gu Ding, he was even less surprised. Gu Ding had seen many large cities that were much larger than this one. Why would he find it strange?
Jiang Yu's strength was enough to be considered an expert in an ordinary small city. However, in such a big city, he was nothing at all. Gu Ding's current combat strength was similar to Jiang Yu's. Therefore, the two of them naturally did not dare to stay at the Teleportation Formation for long. It was obvious that it was the core area of the Yin Ghost City. Cultivators in the Qi Refinement Realm and Divine Realm could be seen everywhere. There were also quite a number of Spirit Refinement Realm and Void Return Realm cultivators. It might be dangerous to stay there. Therefore, the two of them directly left the area and walked towards the outskirts of the city.
Before long, the two arrived at the periphery of the city. This place couldn't be compared to the core of the city. There were a lot of buildings here. However, these buildings weren't very tall and the cultivators here weren't very high.......
The two found a hotel and booked two rooms. Then they went inside and tidied up. Then Jiang Yu went to Gu Ding's room. Gu Ding looked at Jiang Yu and said, "Now that we're here, we need to put away the Battle Corpse Sect's identity token. Don't let people find out about it. Let's just treat ourselves as two Rogue Cultivators."
Jiang Yu nodded. In fact, he had already put away the Battle Corpse Sect's identity token. Although the token was fake, it was very similar to the real thing. He didn't want to cause a misunderstanding with the Dark Ghost Sect. If the Dark Ghost Sect really misunderstood him and came to deal with him, then it wouldn't be worth it.
Gu Ding looked at Jiang Yu and said, "Tomorrow, we'll split up and gather information. We'll try our best to understand the situation of Yin Ghost City. But remember, don't ask about the Dark Ghost Sect. If we do, we might be discovered by others. Do you understand?"
Jiang Yu nodded and said, "Yes, Master can rest assured. I know what to do."
Gu Ding nodded and said, "The Demon Spirit Realm is dominated by the Ten Great Sects. Therefore, we don't need to inquire too much about the small sects. We just need to gather enough information about the Ten Great Sects. However, we shouldn't take the initiative to gather information. Otherwise, it would only arouse suspicion. What we need to do now is to settle down here so that people won't suspect us. Then we can slowly gather information. Fortunately, the Cultivation Method you practice is no longer the Battle Corpse Sect's Cultivation Method, so people wouldn't think of you as a spy of the Battle Corpse Sect."
Jiang Yu said, "Master, isn't it too slow to gather information like this?"
Gu Ding replied, "It doesn't matter if we can't gather any information. As long as our identity isn't exposed, then it's our win. Alright, let's rest for today. Tomorrow, we'll go out and gather information. Right, from today onwards, no matter when you go out, you must change your appearance. You're a traitor of the Battle Corpse Sect. The Battle Corpse Sect won't let you go and will definitely deal with you. They might even send people to assassinate you, so it's best if you don't show your face."
Jiang Yu nodded before returning to his room. Gu Ding knew that the Battle Corpse Sect wouldn't let them off so easily. They would definitely send people to hunt them down. Even if the Battle Corpse Sect and the Dark Ghost Sect had a grudge against each other, they would definitely send people to assassinate them. This was because the Battle Corpse Sect wanted to obtain Jiang Yu's body cultivation technique. They also didn't want Jiang Yu to spread the method of extracting the soul fire.
In fact, it wasn't just the Battle Corpse Sect. If the other Sects knew that Jiang Yu had this method of extracting Soul Fire, they wouldn't let him off either. This was because all the Sects in the Devil Spirit Realm used this method. If this method was spread, then it would be equivalent to breaking their foundation. They wouldn't allow such a method to exist.
It was precisely because of this that Gu Ding couldn't let Jiang Yu's identity be exposed. Fortunately, the Battle Corpse Sect didn't know that Jiang Yu could transform into a human. This way, the Battle Corpse Sect wouldn't be able to discover them later.
Thinking of this, Gu Ding couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Then he went to rest. What he needed to do now was to inquire about the Dark Ghost Sect before leaving.
While Gu Ding and Jiang Yu were resting, the Battle Corpse Sect was in a different situation. In the Great Hall of the Battle Corpse Sect, several people were surrounding Elder Jia's corpse. They were carefully examining it. Their expressions weren't very good.
After a while, a tall and sturdy cultivator looked at the others and said, "Everyone has seen the situation. Elder Jia was killed by an energy attack. It seems like the thing that attacked him was an arrow."
The few of them nodded. Another person said, "Elder Jia seems to have been injured before, and the Golden Corpse on his body is gone. It seems like the other party destroyed his Golden Corpse first before killing Elder Jia with an arrow. But who was the one who attacked Elder Jia? Was it Jiang Yu and the others? "
It turned out that although the other elders felt the energy fluctuations when Elder Jia and the others were fighting and immediately went to help, they didn't see how Elder Jia died. They also didn't know if Jiang Yu was the one who killed Elder Jia.
In fact, it was very normal for them to think this way. The black arrow that killed Elder Jia was very well hidden. They didn't discover it at all. Moreover, the black arrow was just like the cultivator said. It was an energy arrow. Although it looked like it was made of bone, it was actually made of energy. After the arrow killed Elder Jia, it disappeared directly. Therefore, it was normal that they didn't see how Elder Jia died.
There was another point that made the people of the Battle Corpse Sect unable to believe that Elder Jia had died in Jiang Yu's hands. In their opinion, how strong was Jiang Yu? At most, he was at the Qi Refinement Realm. With his strength, how could he kill Elder Jia, who was at the Dao Integration Realm? Not to mention killing Elder Jia in a face-to-face encounter. That was even more impossible.
Although they all knew that Jiang Yu had a powerful Dharma weapon, they didn't think that a Dharma weapon could kill Elder Jia in a single blow. Elder Jia's golden corpse had an amazing defensive power. Even if it was a high-level Dharma weapon, it wouldn't be able to develop much power if it wasn't in the hands of an expert, let alone break through the defense of the golden corpse and kill it. Elder Jia's spirit consciousness had also been injured.
All of this made the people of the Battle Corpse Sect unable to believe that Elder Jia had died in Jiang Yu's hands. However, if Elder Jia really hadn't died in Jiang Yu's hands, then this matter would be even more complicated.
If Elder Jia had died in Jiang Yu's hands, then everything would be fine. It could only mean that Jiang Yu was very powerful or he had some unknown means to kill Elder Jia. However, if it wasn't Jiang Yu who had killed Elder Jia, then things would be even more complicated.
Although Elder Jia hadn't comprehended the power of laws, he was still an expert at the Void Refinement Realm and the Dao Integration Realm. In the Demon Spirit Realm, he was definitely one of the top experts. Even someone who had comprehended the power of laws wouldn't be able to kill him. However, someone had been able to kill someone like him in just a few blows. How powerful was this person? Most importantly, who was this person? Which force did he come from? Why did he come to the Battle Corpse Sect and why did he kill Elder Jia? All of these were very important.
The tall and strong cultivator said in a deep voice, "Regardless of whether it was Jiang Yu or not, he must have escaped from our Battle Corpse Sect's territory. However, it's impossible for him to not leave any traces behind. Pass down my order. All the vassal sects are to investigate this matter with all their might. Our Battle Corpse Sect will reward anyone who can provide useful clues."
Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly bowed to him and said in unison, "Yes, Sect Master."
It turned out that this tall and strong man was the Sect Master of the Battle Corpse Sect. In the Demon Spirit Realm, he was known as the Sky Corpse Daoist, Miao Qizi. Miao Qizi was very famous in the entire Devil Spirit World. He could control five Battle Corpses alone, and these five Battle Corpses had all turned into Living Corpses. One could see how powerful he was to be able to control five Living Corpses alone. One should know that a Living Corpse was equivalent to a Path Integration Realm cultivator. It was even stronger than an ordinary Path Integration Realm cultivator. How powerful was he to be able to control five Living Corpses alone? This was really hard to say. All they knew was that he hadn't fought for hundreds of years. When he was roaming in the Demon Spirit Realm, he hadn't met an opponent for a long time.
