Yin Corpse Sect's inner disciple, Yin Wuji, had been down on his luck recently.
After completing his Foundation Establishment, he wanted to refine a Bronze Armored Corpse, so he went to the Dongjiang Country to dig up graves.
Unfortunately, he met the Iron Sword Gate's Iron Sword School's deacon, Mo Mingjun. Not only did he fail to dig up the graves, he was also injured.
The Iron Sword Gate's sword technique was the most powerful among the Five Sects of Dongao.
Yin Wuji dragged his injured body around for two days before he managed to shake off the Iron Sword Gate's pursuit.
By the time he stopped, he was already in Aodong.
After a few days of recuperation on Xicang Mountain, he realized that the pills he brought were ineffective against Mo Mingjun's sword wounds.
Moreover, the Heavenly Star Qi from the wounds had invaded his meridians.
Yin Wuji was shocked. He remembered that he had passed by Aodong's imperial tomb on his way here, so he thought of a way to sneak into the tomb in the middle of the night.
He found the coffin of the founding king, Zhu Dachang, and drew a talisman on one side of the coffin. He used the Spirit Corpse Luck Removal Technique to extract the Qi from the Aodong Country's king to heal his wounds.
As the Qi from the imperial tomb drained away, the descendants of the Zhu Family all looked gloomy.
After a month of cultivation, most of the Heavenly Star Qi that Mo Mingjun had injected into his body had been removed.
In a few days, it would be completely removed. With the Qi in his body, he had recovered half of his power.
As long as he could force the Heavenly Star Qi out of his body, he could rely on pills to heal his wounds.
He didn't expect to feel uneasy when he arrived at the imperial tomb tonight.
Although Chiyang School wasn't as powerful as it used to be, it was still one of the Five Sects and One Sect.
Yin Wuji had been in their territory for a month and hadn't gotten into trouble because he was cautious.
Standing in front of Zhu Dachang's coffin, Yin Wuji wanted to do the same thing again. However, he couldn't feel the Emperor's Qi surging out.
After a few more attempts, he started to feel puzzled.
He went up to check the talisman he had drawn. It smelled fishy, and the blood didn't seem to be the same color he had drawn a month ago.
He went closer to smell it and cried out, "Black Dog's Blood, Red Sun Fire."
The four people outside the Imperial Mausoleum heard the commotion inside and looked at each other.
Yi Tian smiled knowingly and said, "It's a trap." Everyone rushed in together.
Gao Shou rushed in and took out his red sword. He used the Flying Sword Technique and stabbed out.
The weak attacking the strong was a one-hit kill. The black dog's blood could only delay for a while.
The truly powerful one was Liao Li, who was inside the black dog's blood and had the Scarlet Flame Sect's fire spiritual energy. This was the true nemesis of Yin Corpse Arts.
Cultivators who cultivated the Yin Corpse Technique had cold Yin Qi all over their bodies. They were most afraid of these extremely Yang Qi species, as their attributes were greatly restrained.
If he was at his peak, this wouldn't be much. But now, Yin Wuji's newly recovered 70% meridians suffered yet another blow.
The scorching hot Yang Qi ran amok in the meridians, and the originally restrained Big Dipper Righteous Qi, under the resonance of the Yang Qi, also began to faintly act up.
Gao Shou's red sword flew over and Yin Wuji had no choice but to deal with it calmly.
He took out his own refined corpse from his Yin Corpse Pouch and placed it in front of him.
Luckily, it was a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator's refined iron corpse. Only then could it withstand Gao Shou's full strength attack.
Liao Li also chose an advantageous location and formed a triangle with Gao Shou. The furnace fire in his hand was also released. Five fireballs were shot at Yin Wuji.
Two Qi Refining Stage Nine cultivators ambushed him. If it was any other time, Yin Wuji would immediately counterattack.
But now, he needed to use half of his spiritual energy to suppress the extremely Yang Qi in his meridians. Yin Wuji couldn't even fully control the refined corpse.
He held a corpse controlling whistle in his mouth and endured the intense pain in his meridians. He used his spiritual energy to control the whistle and control the refined corpse to charge at Gao Shou.
The red sword seemed to have grown eyes as it slashed at the refined corpse. It was so deep that bone could be seen.
But Gao Shou was retreating step by step to prevent the refined corpse from getting too close and instantly killing him.
Yi Tian and Zhu Yourong blocked the exit according to plan. Seeing the refined corpse charge at Gao Shou, Yi Tian hurriedly took out his flywheel.
He attached the Fireball Technique to the flywheel and it instantly turned into a washbasin sized fireball that shot towards Yin Wuji.
No matter what, a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator was much stronger than a Qi Refining Stage cultivator. Even if he was heavily injured, he could still use a defensive barrier to block the incoming fireball.
But after Yi Tian's flywheel smashed into the defensive barrier, the halo became much weaker.
Liao Li was stunned. He didn't think that his Qi Refining Stage Nine spell couldn't compare to Yi Tian's Qi Refining Stage Six magic tool.
He steeled his heart and the dragon mouth on the furnace in his hand spat out a burst of fire. The fire enveloped the entire furnace and turned it into a fireball the size of the flywheel. He then shot it towards Yin Wuji.
With a loud explosion, Yin Wuji endured the pain and blew the whistle again. The refined corpse that was originally fighting with Gao Shou quickly flew back and blocked the two attacks.
But Yi Tian saw that Liao Li was also using his full strength. After the furnace hit the refined corpse, the furnace fire ignited the refined corpse.
Under the scorching heat, the refined corpse was charred black and it was no longer as nimble as before.
After Gao Shou recovered, he took back his scarlet sword. He bit his finger and smeared his blood on the sword and poured his spiritual energy into it.
After the scarlet sword vibrated, he pointed it at Yin Wuji. The flying sword pierced through the refined corpse with a red light and didn't slow down. It pierced through the defensive barrier and flew back.
Yi Tian saw the opportunity and shot five fireballs at Yin Wuji. The defensive barrier was activated again.
But this time, it was already the end of the road. Three fireballs pierced through the light barrier.
The other two fireballs hit Yin Wuji's body and two holes appeared in his clothes. Inside the holes was a piece of defensive armor.
Gao Shou's eyes burned with passion. A Foundation Establishment Stage defensive armor was what he wanted the most.
After retrieving his scarlet sword, he smeared the blood on his index finger on the sword again. His eyes were red and he was about to take Yin Wuji's head.
Liao Li's eyes were also filled with desire. He held the pill furnace with both hands and prepared to shoot the fireball that was condensed from spiritual energy.
Yin Wuji looked at the four of them in despair and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood.
He condensed his spiritual energy into a yellow ball in his hand and charged towards Zhu Dachang's coffin.
After a miserable scream, the scarlet sword cut through his neck and separated his head from his body.
Yi Tian looked at the coffin and felt a bit scared. He didn't care about the two of them and directly condensed a fireball.
When Gao Shou and Liao Li saw this, they were shocked. In the next second, they heard banging sounds coming from the coffin.
Suddenly, the lid of the coffin was knocked away and Ao Dong's founding king, Zhu Dachang, jumped out of the coffin.
The four of them saw a skeleton wearing a royal robe and a crown walk towards Zhu Yourong.
Yi Tian's face was very serious. He turned around and looked at Zhu Yourong. He was the key now.
He shouted, "Attack with all your strength!" Then, he shot out all the fireballs in his hand.
Gao Shou and Liao Li didn't hesitate either. When they heard Yi Tian's shout, they gathered their remaining spiritual energy and used all their spells on Zhu Dachang's skeleton.
However, Zhu Dachang's corpse had a yellow light that blocked the spells. Although the light became very dim after blocking the spells, it still moved forward.
However, the skeleton still continued to move forward step by step, scaring Liao Li.
This time, Yi Tian laughed. Yin Wuji's last bit of spiritual energy mixed with the fate of the royal family was only so-so.
He turned to Zhu Yourong and said, "Your success or failure depends on this. Either you become a king or a ghost. Your ancestor won't let any direct descendant go."
After he finished speaking, he took out the prepared Ox Essence Rope from his storage bag and threw it to Gao Shou and Liao Li. The three of them surrounded Zhu Dachang.
They used the Ox Essence Rope to form three lassos and threw them onto Zhu Dachang's body.
Although he was supported by the yellow light, he was still a mortal. After he died, he only absorbed a bit of royal fate.
There was no one controlling him, so it was easy for the three cultivators to deal with him.
After the three of them tightened the ropes, Zhu Dachang was firmly locked in the middle.
Yi Tian shook his head at Zhu Yourong. Gao Shou and Liao Li didn't know why Yi Tian didn't immediately get rid of the skeleton.
Zhu Yourong hesitated for a moment, but when he saw Yi Tian's angry expression, he clenched his teeth and charged forward.
He reached out and grabbed Zhu Dachang's skull and sucked out the yellow spirit energy. Gao Shou and Liao Li were stunned.
The skeleton, which had lost the Emperor's Qi, suddenly lost its support and fell apart.
The three of them looked at each other and laughed when they saw Yin Wuji's corpse.
Seven days later, the palace bell in Aodong rang out. The court officials gathered in the throne room, waiting for the arrival of Minister Zhu.
Zhu Qing led the Second Prince, Zhu Yourong, out of the rear court. Zhu Qing led the Second Prince out.
Zhu Yourong walked to the front step of the throne and stood still. Then, Minister Zhu let the eunuch read the edict of succession in front of all the civil and military officials.
He passed the whole of Aodong to the Second Prince Zhu Yourong and lived in seclusion in the palace as a retired emperor.
For a moment, the whole country was in an uproar. The news of the old emperor's abdication and the new emperor's succession quickly spread to all the counties in Aodong.
Then, the new emperor ascended the throne and the whole country was pardoned. The poor could be exempted from taxes for a year. The people cheered.
Holding the Golden Seal of Aodong in his hand, Zhu Yourong couldn't stop smiling.
He recalled that seven days ago, he was still an unpopular prince. He couldn't even enter his father's palace.
Since he met Master Yi, his luck had changed. There was also the conversation that afternoon.
Although he was asked to help catch people, Zhu Yourong couldn't make up his mind when he heard that he was going to deal with a more powerful cultivator.
However, Master Yi only asked him if he was willing to waste his life or welcome the glory of his lower body.
This deeply touched Zhu Yourong's sore spot. He was also a descendant of the royal family and was qualified to inherit the country.
Now that the opportunity was in front of him, he would feel guilty if he didn't take it.
Three days ago, the people from Chiyang School arrived. After a few immortal masters discussed, Master Yi directly went to the old emperor and had a two-hour discussion.
That afternoon, Minister Zhu summoned the Second Prince Zhu Yourong, the prime minister, the three ministers, and the scholars from the literature pavilion. He wrote the edict of succession on the spot and scheduled the imperial court three days later.
Looking at the scar on his palm and the Golden Seal faintly shining, Zhu Yourong's face twitched.
After Master Yi came back, he took the original Golden Seal and cast it again.
He also asked Zhu Yourong to drip his blood on the Golden Seal and said that it was used to lock the fate of the Zhu family.
Ignoring the surprised eyes of Gao Shou and Liao Li, Zhu Yourong took a knife and cut his hand. He even covered it with the Golden Seal.
In the end, Yi Tian used the Spirit Seal to draw out 80 to 90 percent of the yellow light on Zhu Yourong's body and poured it into the Great Seal.
In the end, he told the King of Aodong, Zhu Yourong, that as long as the Golden Seal was not damaged, Aodong would not decline.
After leaving the room, Zhu Yourong heard Master Yi calling the palace maids to clean the room. He even muttered, "One drop is enough. Why do you need so much?"
After that, Zhu Yourong hugged the Great Seal every day. He didn't even let go of it when he slept. The palace maids were so scared that they didn't dare to touch the Great Seal.
