Tian Dachuan had thick eyebrows and big eyes. He wore a brocade robe and proudly commanded the tax collection team.
He was the dignified Master Tian, an outer sect disciple of the Corpse Yin Tantric Sect.
A servant of the Corpse Yin Tantric Sect!
Although the outer sect disciple's aptitude was not good and he had cultivated for decades, he had only reached Qi Refinement and could not even reach Qi Condensation.
Not to mention being chosen by the elders to become an inner sect disciple, he was lucky enough not to be beaten to death and refined into a treasure.
Fortunately, the Corpse Yin Tantric Sect occupied the Yin Province and needed some people to manage the mortal affairs.
The inner sect disciples had high cultivation and did not care about these mortal affairs, so they gave the outer sect disciple a chance.
The outer sect disciple asked to be released from the sect and bribed a steward to finally get a good job as the Yinyue City Lord.
Tian Dachuan's status rose and as his master's henchman, he also found an official position and was in charge of collecting taxes.
Now, as he counted the carts of rations and the coffins, his face was full of joy. "Not bad, not bad … There are actually three corpses of people who died a violent death this time, and they are not those who died of old age …"
The Corpse Yin Tantric Sect's death tax basically only collected people who died of old age and were not very useful.
This time, he was lucky. Previously, a village encountered a mudslide and three strong laborers were crushed to death.
This was much better than those old corpses. Moreover, they died a violent death and were unwilling. Their resentment was very suitable for refining treasures.
"Maybe I can extract the bones of these three people to refine the Yin Soul White Bone Trident … I can't waste their souls and resentment either. If I refine them into my Yin Soul Flag, it can also increase the power of the magic treasure …"
Tian Dachuan thought to himself.
Although he was a servant, he had also cultivated some superficial techniques of the Corpse Yin Tantric Sect.
Although he did not have a share of magic treasures like the Hundred Soul Flag, it was not a problem to secretly accumulate some materials and refine a simplified version of the Yin Soul Flag.
Just as he was silently hoping that more people would die in each village, he suddenly saw a few rays of light descending.
The rays of light were greyish-white and carried a cold aura. They were extremely fast and were obviously the light of the inner sect disciples of the Corpse Yin Tantric Sect.
Tian Dachuan did not think too much and only bowed slightly.
Unexpectedly, those streaks of light did not fly far away. Instead, they stopped right in front of the caravan.
"Yin Yue City's official Tian Dachuan greets the Inner Sect Masters!"
Tian Dachuan quickly bowed and saw five figures in the flowing light. Four of them wore the white robes of the Corpse Yin Tantric Sect's inner sect, and one of them was a young man with a cold expression.
His facial features were handsome and feminine. A scarlet belt was wrapped around his waist, and he held a Ten Thousand Soul Banner in his hand. There seemed to be countless ghosts crying inside.
Just a glance was enough to make one's mind tremble, as if their souls were about to be sucked into it.
This was the Ten Thousand Soul Banner of the Corpse Yin Secret Sect. It already had forty-nine layers of restrictive spells. When facing an enemy, a single wave of the banner would cause tens of thousands of ghost soldiers to fly out, covering the sky and the sun. Its power was boundless. Apart from the Core Formation Elders, only a few true disciples were able to cultivate it!
When Tian Dachuan saw the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, he knelt down without saying a word. "Greetings, Successor Master."
"Your servant has a good eye. This is Liang Xiao's true disciple. You really don't know how much good fortune you've accumulated in your previous life to be able to meet him."
An inner sect disciple smiled and said fawningly.
"Of course, of course …"
Tian Dachuan nodded repeatedly, but in his heart, he thought, 'This inner sect disciple's flattery skills are so … stiff! If I were him, I would definitely be able to flatter him more smoothly … Sigh, I'm just unlucky and don't have much talent for cultivation, otherwise … '
"You're the tax officer of the nearby Yin Yue City?"
Liang Xiao glanced at the caravan and already knew the details.
The Corpse Yin Tantric Sect ruled over a province. Just the corpses they received every month were countless resources.
Although most of them died of old age and the essence in their bodies was weak, the accumulation was still extraordinary.
Those corpses could be used to refine magic tools or cultivate various zombies. Their souls could also be extracted and refined into Ten Thousand Soul Banner and other treasures. It could be said that nothing was wasted.
Even the Ten Thousand Soul Banner in his hand was obtained this way.
"Yes …"
Tian Dachuan quickly said.
"We're under orders to capture a demonic cultivator, Yi Tianchou of the Demonic Bell Twin Demons … Have you seen any unfamiliar cultivators nearby, spirit refining realm …"
Liang Xiao asked casually and took out Yi Tianchou's portrait.
Even among the cultivators, not everyone had a photographic memory.
Take the Fortune Gate Ancestor for example. Although his portrait was circulated after the incident, not to mention the fact that his appearance was distorted, more than a decade had passed since then. If one didn't pay special attention, how could they remember a portrait?
Thus, Chung Shen-soo swaggered around with his original appearance, and nothing happened.
Unless he could not help but create a big news, and someone took out the portrait to compare, only then would he be recognized.
"Reporting to the true master, this lowly one has indeed not seen this person … there are no cultivators nearby."
Tian Dachuan kowtowed and answered.
"That's true … that Yi Tianchou, that demon is a spirit refining cultivator and has a great perfection demonic treasure. If one is not a true disciple, meeting him would only be courting death …"
Liang Xiao seemed to believe it.
As for being called a demon?
Hehe, Corpse Yin Tantric Sect is one of the six great orthodox sects, do you know what orthodox means?
In addition, there are people who willingly offer their corpses as materials. It has been a long time since they kidnapped someone, killed them, and refined their soul.
In Liang Xiao's mind, his Corpse Yin Tantric Sect was also a righteous sect!
Although … the inheritance leaned towards the demonic path, it was still a proper 'official' in the cultivation world. Yi Tianchou, on the other hand, was a true 'bandit', a 'demon'!
'Actually … if it was before, if this little demon was tactful and offered up his treasure, I might have let him go. Unfortunately … this time, the sect has ordered us to kill him without mercy!'
Liang Xiao thought with some doubt.
If those notorious demons in the cultivation world were truly talented, they might be recruited by the Corpse Secret Sect, the Great Snow Mountain of the Western Regions, or even the Limitless Demon Sect.
Within the sect, there were many such 'protectors'. It was said that they were extremely ferocious in fights, and some could even fight against cultivators of a higher realm.
However, for some unknown reason, the sect did not have that kind of lenient attitude towards this little demon named Yi Tianchou.
'Perhaps you have offended someone, then you can only blame your bad luck!'
Liang Xiao sighed in his heart, 'This young master's Ten Thousand Soul Banner is still missing two spirit refining cultivator's secondary souls and one gold core ancestor's primary soul. Perhaps this person will be able to take care of one …'
At this moment, his expression suddenly changed. Not far away, a huge spirit bird let out a long cry and flew into the sky with a young cultivator on its back.
All the Corpse Yin Tantric Sect disciples suddenly turned their heads and stared at Tian Dachuan, causing the little cultivator to panic. His voice trembled, "This … I really don't know …"
