Myriad Daos of the Heaven

And Jiang Jichen, naturally, vanished from his spot along with the Light of Teleportation.

In fact, with Jiang Jichen’s Cultivation, he was still unable to swap positions with a powerful being like the beautiful woman under normal circumstances.

It was just that in that instant, the beautiful woman happened to be charging over to attack, and on top of that, she was momentarily careless.

In the end, she fell for Jiang Jichen’s trick and had her position swapped.

And Bai Zihua had happened to activate a Teleportation Rune that could transport two people.

Thus, the two of them were teleported away together.

As for the Celestial Corpse Ancestor!

He could be considered resurrected now, but he and Lin Qing were sharing a soul.

It was hard to say who would eventually devour whom.

But regardless, this was not a resurrection achieved through normal means, and it would likely take the Celestial Corpse Ancestor a very long time to recover.

It would be even more difficult for him to recover to his peak state.

Besides, once word of the Celestial Corpse Ancestor’s return spread, many powerful experts would surely hunt him down.

Even Supreme figures might take action!

And given Bai Zihua’s insidious nature, news like this would probably spread throughout the Southern Continent before long.

Then, he would inevitably go into hiding to refine the Celestial Corpse Power within the blood.

However, what he had to face now was his entanglement with the beautiful woman.

As for the beautiful woman, having been tricked by Jiang Jichen, she was now seething with rage.

The moment she was teleported, the beautiful woman screamed, "Jiang Jichen, I will definitely refine you into a Corpse Pet!"

Nearby, Bai Zihua was stunned by the beautiful woman’s fierce words.

He felt a sense of incomparable dread.

He now felt uncertain, realizing this beautiful woman was extraordinary and would not be easy to deal with.

Just then, the beautiful woman suddenly raised her head and stared at Bai Zihua.

Her eyes were like clear autumn pools, with an unusual light flickering within them—bright and captivating.

Her face was enchanting, her skin fairer than snow and glistening with a lustrous sheen. No matter how one looked at her, she was an exceptionally beautiful woman.

Although she was a living corpse, just as she had said before, she had long reached the Realm of a reanimated soul and was no different from a living person.

The beautiful woman’s voice was delicate and crisp as she said, "Bai Zihua, our strengths are about the same right now. If we fight, neither of us can suppress the other. Not only will it be pointless, but it will also be a waste of time."

"But if I keep you tied down and wait for the Celestial Corpse Ancestor and that guy Corpse Two to catch up, I’m afraid it won’t be so easy for you to leave then!"

Hearing the beautiful woman’s words, Bai Zihua’s expression flickered.

"Then what do you want?"

Bai Zihua watched the beautiful woman with a wary gaze.

’This woman’s schemes are also extraordinary. Right now, it’s as if everything is in her grasp, and I’m completely on the back foot.’

The beautiful woman smiled as she looked at Bai Zihua, sizing him up. Her coquettish voice rang out, "I don’t want anything. The Celestial Corpse Ancestor’s resurrection was that guy Corpse Two’s idea. As far as I’m concerned, whether the Celestial Corpse Ancestor is resurrected or not doesn’t mean a damn thing to me. However..."

Hearing her draw out the word, Bai Zihua frowned. "However what? Just say it!"

The beautiful woman smiled, revealing her pearly white teeth. "Just let me have a little fun with you, and then let me drink a few mouthfuls of your blood. That’ll be enough!"

Bai Zihua was furious and about to refuse when the beautiful woman’s voice rang out again, "Corpse Two and the Celestial Corpse Ancestor aren’t far. They’ll be catching up very soon, you know!"

"You activated a Positioning Talisman?"

Bai Zihua asked in astonishment.

"Mhmm, but I can also turn it off at any time. It all depends on your attitude, you see!"

The beautiful woman spoke coquettishly, her allure on full display.

Bai Zihua had lost all of his previous suave and debonair demeanor.

His expression was now dark and uncertain, a fierce internal struggle clearly raging within him.

’Fine. I already promised her before anyway. I’m a grown man; am I really going to be afraid of one little woman?’ Bai Zihua thought, gritting his teeth.

He then glared at the beautiful woman and said, "Let’s find a secluded spot first. As for everything else, we can do it later!"

The beautiful woman laughed. "Giggle... We most certainly should ’do it’ later! Zihua, you really are a man who gets it!"

And so, the two of them instantly vanished from the spot.

When the bizarre male corpse, Corpse Two, and the Celestial Corpse Ancestor arrived, there was no trace of them to be found.

By this time, Bai Zihua and the beautiful woman had already appeared inside a giant cave deep in the mountains.

...

Meanwhile, Jiang Jichen had been teleported dozens of miles away.

He looked at the Blood-Saturated Old Cloth in his hand and couldn’t help but let out a hearty laugh.

’Trading the Ancient Medicine Cauldron for the Blood-Saturated Old Cloth... no matter how you look at it, I came out ahead.’

’The Ancient Medicine Cauldron was extraordinary, true, but the Blood-Saturated Old Cloth is even more mysterious. If I can make it whole, the possibilities are unimaginable.’

’Of course, having lost the Ancient Medicine Cauldron, I’ll just have to swindle it back someday. There will be plenty of opportunities!’

"Bai Zihua, Living Corpse Maiden, you’re welcome!"

Jiang Jichen mischievously sent his "blessing" out into the distant night sky.

Then, he ran off in a certain direction.

That was... the direction of the Central State!
