The battle with the flesh corpse statue continues, but it is gradually approaching its end.
A Demon Sect leader in the late Golden Core Realm, carrying the Four Symbols Green Dragon Evil Formation, has a terrifyingly strong power of killing.
The resurrected evil aura of the flesh corpse statue was suppressed by the section of white bone summoned by the black-robed elder.
Its heart was tightly bound by that wisp of white energy.
"That section of white bone, could it be... dragon bone?"
"Dragon bone, capable of suppressing the evil aura of Taoist Demons?"
Mo Hua’s eyes sparkled; this was the first time he had heard of such a thing.
And with the suppression of the dragon bone, the "evil aura" on the flesh corpse statue indeed gradually dimmed.
Without the power of laws from the evil aura, the seemingly powerful flesh corpse statue was merely a large "walking corpse," not a match for everyone.
After dozens more rounds, with a loud bang, the flesh corpse statue was struck on the head by the Demon Sect leader, and a black-red dragon shadow pierced through its skull.
The corpse statue’s flesh crumbled and collapsed with a crash.
The aura of death and gloom, having lost their foundation, gradually dissipated.
This giant flesh corpse statue was thus annihilated.
Without the foundation of flesh and the nourishment of gloom, the wisp of "evil aura" suppressed by the dragon bone also dimmed as a result.
"We won..."
Mr. Hui was a little incredulous, then looked at the Demon Sect leader, who carried the Evil Dragon and stood proudly, with deep terror and apprehension in his eyes.
In that instant, he made up his mind and cupped his hands towards the black-robed elder and others:
"Everyone, with this monstrosity slain, my mission is also complete. If you’ll excuse me... I’ll take my leave first."
"Hold on." The black-robed elder said.
Mr. Hui’s steps came to a halt.
The black-robed elder said, "This statue is slain, and the bronze coffin is right before us. Does Mr. Hui not want a share?"
Mr. Hui forced a smile and said, "I didn’t put in much effort to slay the statue; I dare not claim any reward for no merit."
The black-robed elder shook his head, "We had an agreement beforehand. Now that the task is complete, how could I go back on my word?"
Mr. Hui felt nervous internally.
He had realized he was already in the tiger’s den.
This group of black-robed cultivators were genuine Demon Cultivators, astonishingly strong, even able to cultivate an Evil Dragon.
Anything related to a dragon is extraordinary.
Mr. Hui didn’t want to get involved in these murky waters anymore.
If he could leave now, with the storage pouch filled with gains, and capture a young "genius Formation Master" to raise for his own benefit, it would not be a loss by any means.
But clearly, this black-robed elder had no intention of letting him go.
This group, with their ruthless cultivation techniques, had slain a flesh corpse statue; dealing with him would be even easier.
Left with no choice, Mr. Hui stiffened his resolve and said, "In that case... it’s better to follow orders graciously."
The black-robed elder then beckoned to Mo Hua from afar.
Mo Hua was taken aback, but still ran over.
The black-robed elder said, "Young man, you can also pick something from the coffin later."
"Really?" Mo Hua was somewhat astonished.
"Naturally." The black-robed elder nodded, "In this tomb-robbing venture, you also provided effort, so you deserve a share of the treasure."
"Thank you, elder." Mo Hua outwardly appeared flattered but was inwardly puzzled:
Why is this old man giving something to me?
What is his true intention?
Of course, Mo Hua was also somewhat curious, wondering what treasures might be buried inside such a large bright-yellow bronze coffin.
Afterward, everyone joined forces to clean the bright-yellow bronze coffin, burned the zombie’s flesh, and began searching the coffin.
Yet, after clearing the remnants and burning the decayed flesh, the vast coffin was empty at the bottom, with nothing at all.
No tomb owner, no burial goods.
Nor was there any trace of the "Evil Embryo" that Mo Hua was looking for.
It was as if this entire bronze coffin was just burying these dead corpses.
Mr. Hui saw this and seemed to think of something, his face changing.
The black-robed elder and his companions remained silent.
The black-robed young master frowned in thought for a moment, then looked up at the elder with a slightly cold voice, "Second Elder, this is not what you mentioned before."
"Young Master Xuan, please remain calm."
The black-robed elder’s voice was hoarse, but his expression also showed some confusion.
Apparently, they hadn’t found what they were looking for.
And the current situation was also unexpected for them.
Mo Hua kept his head down, showing no expression but his mind was racing.
He roughly figured it out.
Among the four black-robed cultivators, the demon cultivator with Dragon Patterns was the leader of the Demon Sect.
The one with the build of a Bear Pi was the "Elder Xiong" from the Demon Sect.
He was also the "fish that escaped the net" when the Taoist Court and Taixu Gate joined forces to besiege the Demon Sect last time.
At the same time, according to Elder Xun Ziyou, this "Elder Xiong" was precisely one of the three Golden Core Realm monster cultivator elders in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons back on Demon Hunting Mountain.
Back then, Mo Hua sneaked into the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons when these three monster cultivator elders were away, so he never directly encountered them.
Elder Xun Ziyou had also mentioned that one of these monster cultivator elders died on Refining Demon Mountain, but details of the death were unknown.
There were broad claw marks on the chest, as if disemboweled, the storage pouch was gone, the skin with Monster Patterns was stripped away, making it impossible to determine what kind of monster cultivator it was.
Another one was the Snake Demon Elder.
During the Yanluo Mountain siege of the Demon Sect, it was slain by Elder Xun Ziyou.
The last one was this Bear Pi man before them.
He was the only surviving Golden Core Demon Cultivator in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
As for the black-robed elder called "Second Elder"...
Mo Hua thought about it and believed he should be the "Second Elder" in the Demon Sect, the most senior, second only in status to the Demon Sect leader.
