Chapter 346 - 346 154 Facing Life and Death Immortals Are Mortal_5


346: Chapter 154 Facing Life and Death, Immortals Are Mortal_5 346: Chapter 154 Facing Life and Death, Immortals Are Mortal_5 The Five-thunder Righteous Method is the purest form of Lightning Magic Skills, extremely effective against all Death Aura.


Moreover, once the Death Aura is released from the suppression of the Formation, its power greatly diminishes.


However, there was an abundance of Death Aura flying around, although not very strong, there was a tremendous quantity.


“Swoosh…”


Amidst the flashes of purple lightning, a black streak of Death Aura shot straight towards Lan Pili.


All three of them were flying together, and the Corpse Generals in the coffins didn’t attack Cao Zhen exclusively; instead, they targeted all three of them.


Cao Zhen’s figure flashed, and he instantly appeared behind Lan Pili, intercepting the approaching Death Aura.


When the Death Aura hit him, ripples spread out from the impact, and the dissipating aura made a sizzling sound like water droplets falling onto burning logs, after which the Demonic Qi was completely purged.


After all, he was protected by the Dragon and Tiger Golden Body and the Gold Light Spell!


Those were the ultimate defenses against Death Aura and Demonic Qi, the Protective Golden Light.


Although Helian Baitian’s Demonic Qi could injure him, the Corpse Generals’ Death Aura, weakened by the Formation, could not breach the defenses of the Gold Light Spell, Dragon and Tiger Golden Body, or the Record of Deities and Demons.


Controlling the Divine Weapon, Cao Zhen quickly retreated, flying out of the mountains.


Behind him, the assaulting Death Aura also vanished.


“Whew…” Zhao the constable exhaled deeply.


He was but a mortal; this battle afforded him a glimpse into the capabilities of an Immortal.


Watching Cao Zhen and Lan Pili still hastening to escape into the distance, he hastily spoke, “Sirs, we are safe here; they can no longer attack us.


Do we need to keep running?


We haven’t inspected that Formation.


Shouldn’t we try to repair it?


Perhaps there’s a chance to fix it.”


As he spoke, he turned to Cao Zhen, “Peak Master Cao, I saw that when the Death Aura attacked you just now, it didn’t seem to harm you.


Helian Baitian can attack you only once before being sealed by the Formation.


We should have the opportunity to repair it.”


“Repair the Formation?


It’s no longer just about repairing the Formation.


We need to hurry back, find the Governor, burn the imperial edict, and inform the Grand Preceptor about what has happened here.”


As he spoke, Cao Zhen suddenly stopped and shook his head, “No, that’s incorrect.


We shouldn’t go to the Governor.


I have completely lost trust in him, even the Garrisoned Immortal, I cannot inform.


Constable Zhao, where is the nearest town or county seat?


We go directly to the mayor or the county magistrate and ask them to burn the imperial edict.”


The mayor of Yu Min Town had mentioned that he had already burned the imperial edict; apparently, the mayor also had one.


“Burn the imperial edict?” Lan Pili’s face showed a hint of difficulty as he looked at Cao Zhen, “Peak Master Cao, if you were to burn the imperial edict, you would utterly offend Elder Shadowless of the Bright Heart Sect.


And not just him but also one of the top ten Immortal Sects, the Bright Heart Sect!”


Cao Zhen was aware of Lan Pili’s concerns.


If he circumvented the Bright Heart Sect’s control and directly burned the imperial edict, what would the sect think?


The Grand Preceptor would also blame him, and how could the Bright Heart Sect not hold a grudge against him?


But at this moment, he could not consider these issues.


Cao Zhen sighed and said, “If I could, I really wouldn’t want to offend that Elder Shadowless or the Bright Heart Sect.


After all, when we move about outside, we represent the Hundred Peaks Sect.


If I had someone burn the imperial edict, not only would the Bright Heart Sect bear a grudge against me, but they would also resent our Hundred Peaks Sect.


Being amongst the top ten Immortal Sects, I don’t want to bring hatred upon the Hundred Peaks Sect.


But you know what?


When those hundred coffins attacked us just now, I noticed something.”


Cao Zhen looked at the two of them and held up three fingers, “I discovered that among those coffins, there were empty ones!


And at least less than three coffins were empty!”


“Empty coffins!”


Both Lan Pili and Zhao the constable’s expressions changed drastically.


Zhao the constable spoke with a serious face, “Among these hundred coffins, there should be one body in each.


If there are empty coffins, it means that some of the Zombie Soldiers, no, the Corpse Generals, have escaped.


Yet no one knows of this, which would be a gross dereliction of duty for the Garrisoned Immortal.


According to the laws of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, the Garrisoned Immortal of Yong Feng City would be summarily beheaded.”


“Has he…


could it be that he has betrayed the Dynasty, his Sect?


Or has he been influenced by Death Aura?”


Zhao the constable finally understood why Cao Zhen had said earlier not to go to the Garrisoned Immortal or Elder Shadowless.


“So now, we go to find…” As Zhao the constable spoke, his eyes suddenly widened.


A familiar figure had already swiftly flown in and landed before them.


The Garrisoned Immortal of Yong Feng City, Elder Shadowless from the Bright Heart Sect.


Elder Shadowless glanced at the three of them, then at the mountain range behind them.


His gaze settled on Cao Zhen and Lan Pili, and a smile appeared on his lips as if unexpectedly bumping into acquaintances in the street, he inquired, “Why are you gentlemen not resting at the Immortal Reception House?


Why venture over here?


This is not a place where one can just enter freely.”


Cao Zhen looked at Elder Shadowless without uttering a word.


Although Elder Shadowless was smiling, Cao Zhen could detect the murderous intent emerging from him.


Presumably, the commotion here caught the attention of Elder Shadowless in the city, prompting his swift arrival.
