Chapter 276: Chapter 261: The Corpse Clan Suppressed by the Confucian Sect_3

“After many years, the three seniors still possess such grace!” Li Cheng said with a smile as he clasped his fist in greeting.

Shu Wangjuan hurriedly shook his head, “Immortal Emperor Li must not call us seniors. We’ve just become True Immortals, while Immortal Emperor Li has already reached the pinnacle. We dare not assume such a title!”

After a few decades, the three of them now had less of their former carefree attitude and more restraint and respect in Li Cheng’s presence.

“I still prefer the three old brothers to call me Brother Li!” Li Cheng laughed.

His words visibly relaxed the three of them, and smiles appeared on their faces.

“The Sect Master and the Saintess have been waiting for a long time. Please, Brother Li, let us not delay any further!” Hua Bufan gestured invitingly.

Under the guidance of the three, they quickly arrived at the base of Floating Peak in the center of the Confucian Sect.

Sect Leader Yun and Yun Fuxue floated down from Floating Peak, “We have troubled you to travel such a long distance, young friend Li. This old one has failed to welcome you from afar, I hope young friend Li can forgive this oversight!”

“Sect Leader Yun jests!” Li Cheng responded with a cupped-hand salute, then added, “I heard from the Sect Master that your esteemed sect wishes to reinforce the Formation?”

Sect Leader Yun nodded, “Please, follow me, young friend Li.”

As they spoke, the stone slabs on the ground behind him moved aside on their own, revealing a winding underground passage.

Yun Fuxue said, “Beneath Floating Peak, a great terror is suppressed, but in recent years, the Formation suppressing it has been continuously eroded. If it is not reinforced in time, the entire Confucian Immortal Region will face an unimaginable disaster.”

Li Cheng had noticed upon arrival that inside Floating Peak, a Divine Bone was used as the formation’s focal point, channeling the Haoran Air of the entire sect to suppress the unknown beneath.

The three entered the underground passage, and a cold, dark power could be faintly felt surging through.

“Could it be that a Dead Spirit has been suppressed?” asked Li Cheng.

The powers of Confucianism Path and Buddhist Path have a restraining effect on Dead Spirits, and this cold, dark power’s fluctuation was undoubtedly from a Dead Spirit.

Sect Leader Yun sighed, “That’s right, it is the Corpse Clan from the last era, and moreover, the corpse is a Divine Corpse. If the birthed Spiritual Wisdom weren’t weak, I’m afraid we couldn’t suppress it.”

Li Cheng nodded inwardly, thinking this situation was somewhat similar to that of Blunt Empty City, where the Divine Bone transformed into the Bone Clan, the Spiritual Wisdom of which was not strong either and was overtaken by the Ten Thousand Aspects Immortal Emperor.

Delving more than ten miles underground, an underground space the size of ten miles appeared in front of Li Cheng.

A large Formation covered most of the underground space, resembling an upturned golden bowl.

At the apex of the Formation, a piece of paper floated, on which one could vaguely see the word ‘Suppress’ written with firm strokes.

“As Master Li has seen, above there is a Divine Bone hidden within Floating Peak, below is the character written by the Confucius Ancestor, together forming this great Formation, suppressing the Corpse Clan inside,” said Yun Fuxue.

Li Cheng focused on the Formation. Although the presence of Corpse Qi was pervasive, it was suppressed by the power emitted from the big character on the paper and couldn’t spread.

“Sect Leader Yun, Miss Yun, let me go in first and take a look,” said Li Cheng.

Both appeared somewhat worried, but they still nodded. Yun Fuxue said, “Please be cautious. If the Corpse Clan awakens, make sure to retreat promptly.”

Li Cheng nodded and stepped towards the Formation. Array Patterns surged around him, gradually merging him with the Formation as he walked into it.

The moment he stepped in, Li Cheng couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, feeling as though he was being watched by a terrifying presence, and in that instant, it seemed as though all his secrets could not be concealed!

Li Cheng looked ahead guardedly. At the center of the Corpse Qi, there seemed to be a sharp gaze fixed on him.

What made Li Cheng raise an eyebrow, however, was that the feeling of being watched didn’t come from that gaze in front of him!
