Chapter 487 484: Let Every Skeleton Have a Necklace to Wear
In the Six Paths Illusion Realm, even if one couldn't break through to the Saint-Entering Realm, their lifespan would still increase.
Therefore, there were far too many Nascent Soul Old Monsters here.
The people Jiang Jichen had just encountered, whether it was Zhou Qiang or the five Undead Cultivators, could only be considered newcomers.
After all, this was the remote Land of Stray Bandits; it was rare for a Nascent Soul Old Monster to appear here.
It was like a powerful nation; he was currently in its most backward and remote region, a place that was naturally overlooked.
"The Death Organization's stronghold, Undead Town... how many people do they have, and what are their strengths?"
A thought had suddenly struck Jiang Jichen, and a plan was already forming in his mind.
Hearing Jiang Jichen's question, Zhou Qiang's eyelid twitched. He understood at once what his new master was planning to do.
So, he answered truthfully, "One Undead Cultivator at the Cyan Soul Perfect Realm is in charge. There are two at the Late-Stage Cyan Soul Realm. There should have been ten at the Mid-Stage Cyan Soul Realm, but Master already killed five of them. There are also twenty at the Early-Stage Cyan Soul Realm, and the rest are three hundred Undead below the Cyan Soul level!"
The Cyan Soul Perfect Realm was equivalent to the Human Race's Nascent Soul Perfection Realm!
'In that case, Undead Town can be taken!'
Jiang Jichen said, "Little Gray and I will go ahead. You follow behind us!"
Then Jiang Jichen glanced at Zhou Qiang's group of subordinates and asked, "Are these men trustworthy?"
Zhou Qiang assured him, "Rest assured, Master. They are all my servants, and I am your servant!"
Hearing Zhou Qiang's words, Jiang Jichen nodded. He no longer had to worry about them sending a message to the Death Organization.
Next, Zhou Qiang gave Jiang Jichen more information about the Land of Stray Bandits.
Then, he and Little Gray followed the map Zhou Qiang had given them and headed for Undead Town.
Undead Town was a stronghold established by the Death Organization in the Land of Stray Bandits.
The reason this area was called the Land of Stray Bandits was self-evident:
stray bandits ran rampant here, making it a chaotic and forgotten place.
According to Zhou Qiang, bandits were numerous. There were nearly a hundred strongholds of various sizes, and their inhabitants all lived by robbery.
Jiang Jichen and Little Gray soon arrived at Undead Town.
Although it was called a town, it was really just a simple cluster of buildings.
It wasn't large; a single straight street, a hundred meters long, ran from one end to the other.
Crude buildings, constructed from ubiquitous giant stones, lined both sides.
Zhou Qiang had said these buildings were where the Human Race Cultivators lived.
At the end of the street stood a massive, luxurious building that resembled a grand mansion.
That was where the Undead Human Clan lived and cultivated.
By now, the crude buildings on either side were empty, as all the Human Race Cultivators had been led away by Zhou Qiang.
Jiang Jichen and Little Gray approached without a sound.
With their concealment techniques, they could naturally move about completely undetected.
Outside, there were also Undead Race guards.
However, they were all at the Spirit Infant Realm and couldn't possibly detect Jiang Jichen.
As for Little Skeleton, he used an Earth Escape Skill and appeared directly in front of the luxurious mansion.
Before the two Red Soul Undead Cultivators guarding the main gate could even react, Jiang Jichen had already pierced through their skulls with a finger, obliterating their Seas of Consciousness.
They died in absolute silence!
Jiang Jichen and Little Gray activated their Body Techniques and entered the mansion.
"Take out the hidden sentries and the weaker ones first!"
Jiang Jichen sent the message to Little Gray via voice transmission.
Little Gray nodded.
Then, the two of them split up, each taking one side.
The mansion had three floors and a large courtyard. Undead constantly patrolled the corridors on both sides.
These were Undead Puppets, created by Undead Cultivators specifically for patrolling, keeping watch, and standing guard.
Their strength was low, but they were highly alert and could send out a warning at the slightest sign of trouble.
Jiang Jichen activated his Shadow Step, drifting silently through the mansion like an ethereal phantom.
PFFT... PFFT...
He brushed past a squad of Undead Puppets.
A moment later, all the Undead Puppets collapsed.
Jiang Jichen had destroyed all the Arrays inscribed within their bodies.
Continuing forward, he finally saw two Early-Stage Cyan Soul Realm Undead Cultivators approaching.
They saw the fallen Puppets and were just about to shout.
But Jiang Jichen had already appeared beside them in a flash.
He moved like lightning, grabbing each of them by the neck and lifting them off the ground.
Like two little chicks, the two Early-Stage Cyan Soul Realm members of the Undead Human Clan had no strength to resist.
They even struggled, gathering the Power of Undead to try and blast away the hands clamped around their necks.
However, Jiang Jichen's grip seemed to contain infinite power.
No matter how hard they struggled, they couldn't loosen the Spirit Infant Realm Cultivator's grip in the slightest.
If anyone had witnessed this scene, they would have been utterly shocked.
The two Early-Stage Cyan Soul Undead Cultivators were filled with shock and terror, feeling the approach of death.
They couldn't believe that this was the power a Spirit Infant Realm Cultivator could possess.
CRACK! CRACK!
But they were given no more time to think. A terrifying force surged from the young human's hands.
The next moment, they felt their bones, internal organs, and Soul Fires all being shattered by the force.
Finally, their consciousness plunged into complete Darkness.
Jiang Jichen had unleashed his physical strength and simply crushed them to death.
As if he had done something trivial, Jiang Jichen tossed their bodies aside and continued forward.
In this manner, Jiang Jichen and Little Gray moved as if through an unguarded land, easily dispatching all the Undead Puppets and killing ten Undead of the Cyan Soul Initial Realm.
Only then did they enter the third floor of the mansion.
'One at the Cyan Soul Perfect Realm, two at the Late-Stage Cyan Soul Realm, five at the Mid-Stage Cyan Soul Realm, and ten at the Early-Stage Cyan Soul Realm... they're all here!'
With a sweep of his Seven-Colored Divine Thought, everything in the third-floor Cultivation Hall was reflected in Jiang Jichen's mind.
Little Gray followed behind Jiang Jichen, matching his every step so perfectly that they almost seemed to merge into one.
From the front, its presence was completely invisible.
And Jiang Jichen's voice echoed faintly in the third-floor Cultivation Hall.
The third-floor hall was enormous. At its center was a Pool of the Dead.
A dense Power of Undead wafted out from the Pool of the Dead, where eighteen Cyan Soul Undead Cultivators were cultivating in a circle.
In truth, Jiang Jichen had wanted to approach silently and launch a surprise attack.
But he discovered that a unique warning Restriction of the Undead Race had been placed at the entrance to the third-floor hall.
This Restriction was quite marvelous; it only acted as a warning within a hundred-meter radius.
Even Jiang Jichen couldn't bypass it.
So, he simply dropped all pretense of hiding and walked right in.
Seeing a Late-Stage Spirit Infant Realm Human Race Cultivator suddenly appear, all the Undead were stunned for a moment.
"Who are you?"
They finally reacted, their figures flashing as they gathered together to confront Jiang Jichen.
It was a Late-Stage Cyan Soul Realm Undead Cultivator who spoke up to question him.
But Jiang Jichen didn't answer. He completely ignored the speaker, his gaze fixed on a pale-faced old man in the center of the group.
The old man stared back at him, his eyes like cold lightning.
Their gazes met, like a bolt of lightning streaking through the Void and colliding.
In that instant, the old man was inwardly shocked.
He had intended to use his Cyan Soul Perfect Realm Divine Thought to suppress the intruder and intimidate him.
But his opponent was completely unaffected.
In fact, the intruder's Divine Thought gave him a sense of pressure.
'What a profound Heavenly Dao Realm!'
'He... he's only a Spirit Infant Realm Cultivator, yet his Heavenly Dao Realm is even stronger than that of a Human Race Nascent Soul Perfection Realm Cultivator.'
'How... how did he do it?'
The old man forcefully suppressed his shock. Only after calming his emotions did he speak. "The people outside must all be dead, and the Undead Puppets have been disabled. For a Spirit Infant Realm Cultivator to accomplish this without anyone noticing is truly not simple."
"But for you to dare step into the third floor of this mansion... you're just courting death!"
The guardian of Undead Town, the Cyan Soul Perfect Realm Undead Cultivator, didn't ask who Jiang Jichen was. He simply stated the situation outside.
At the same time, he pronounced Jiang Jichen's death sentence.
Moreover, the Cultivation of his Cyan Soul Perfect Realm erupted from his body, and a terrifying aura surged toward Jiang Jichen like a tidal wave.
The other seventeen also released their auras simultaneously, pressing down on Jiang Jichen in unison.
He had been at a slight disadvantage in the earlier clash of Divine Thought.
Now, he wanted to suppress his opponent with sheer presence.
He felt that his current aura was more than enough to overwhelm his opponent.
However, Jiang Jichen didn't play by the rules at all.
He stepped forward, Holy Sword in hand, and charged against the tide of pressure, striking out with tyrannical force.
"Who lives and who dies will only be known after we fight!"
"Besides, I came here today to kill you!"
Jiang Jichen said coldly.
Then, he thrust his sword forward.
This was... the Sky-reaching Sword!
From the very beginning, he used the Ultimate Killing Sword Way!
