The corpse king died, his spirit was collected, and the northwest land

In this life, Shen Fan only misjudged a few people.

Thunder Hand Wen Tai, Chief Helmsman Chen Jin Nan, White-Robed Masked Man, Jade-Faced Hand Lei Wang, and also the Corpse King.

...

...

After Shen Fan absorbed this mass of Divine Soul power,

and through the residual memories contained within, he finally understood what had happened before.

Shen Fan reluctantly released the Corpse King. Before the Corpse King could lord over the world, destroying everything in his path, he encountered people from Chun Nong Valley.

And this fellow was no one else, but actually the Grand Elder of Chun Nong Valley.

At the brink of death, Shen Fan’s Divine Soul hid within the treasure gathering cosmos bowl.

Shen Fan had resigned himself to his fate!

But the Corpse King refused to accept his fate!

In his despair, he manipulated Shen Fan to launch a desperate counterattack.

But the outcome was obvious.

Two to three tenths of the Corpse King's Divine Soul was absorbed by Shen Fan, and he had been sealed for over three hundred years.

Furthermore, he was possessing Shen Fan’s Physical Body.

His strength was less than three to four tenths of what it once was.

After enduring one blow from the opponent, the Corpse King manipulated Shen Fan’s Physical Body to escape.

However, his Divine Soul was severely damaged, leaving behind only this pure Divine Soul power, while his consciousness vanished like smoke.

“He… died?”

Shen Fan found it hard to accept the Corpse King’s death for a while.

However, this just happened to resolve Shen Fan’s hidden worry!

Otherwise, with the treasure gathering cosmos bowl suppressing the Corpse King, Shen Fan would be unable to use it at all.

Now, everything was resolved!

When the Corpse King possessed him, Shen Fan had thought he could only rely on the treasure gathering cosmos bowl to hide and watch the Corpse King show off and sweep across the world.

But who knew, he actually encountered the Elder of Chun Nong Valley.

This made Shen Fan think: The Chief Helmsman is here! The Chief Helmsman was killed!

...

...

No matter what.

Although the Corpse King had ill intentions, what he gained from him was incredibly substantial.

And in the end, before his death, he even saved him.

Moreover, the pure Divine Soul power he left behind could intensely nourish Shen Fan.

In the previous battle, Shen Fan was possessed three times and affected twice by Chun Nong Valley's lightning techniques, causing some damage to his Divine Soul.

After absorbing the Corpse King’s Divine Soul, Shen Fan’s Divine Soul not only fully recovered,

but also rapidly advanced at superluminal speed, reaching the Realm of “Coagulation” in the blink of an eye.

“Coagulation!”

Shen Fan’s chest heaved with excitement.

“This is Divine Sense only available at the Golden Core Stage!”

With a thought.

His Divine Sense spread out like an invisible net.

This feeling of covering a thousand miles with a single thought was simply too wonderful.

The dilapidated thatched hut was hidden on the edge of a desolate city.

This city, named Yandang City, was currently deserted.

Shen Fan was secretly surprised that the Corpse King’s desperate escape before his death had led him to this desolate Northwest region.

“How can there be no one?”

Seeing the city, Shen Fan showed a puzzled expression.

...

...

The Corpse King summoning zombie puppets had consumed all of Shen Fan’s vital essence.

Had Shen Fan not possessed backup vital essence, he would have likely died from exhaustion.

With a thought, Shen Fan took out vital essence duplicated from the treasure gathering cosmos bowl and rapidly replenished himself.

In a short while, he was fully recovered.

Lifting the patched quilt, which had a faint smell of mildew, Shen Fan slowly walked outside.

Bang, bang, bang!

The young girl was somewhat laboriously chopping firewood.

In the Northwest, it was rare to have a day without much dust and sand, and with bright sunshine.

Hearing footsteps, the girl turned her head to look, revealing a hint of surprise.

When she first found Shen Fan, he was practically on the verge of death.

She hadn't expected him to be able to move so freely now.

“As expected of a soldier, recovering so quickly!” The girl scoffed, “With this strength, why would you be a deserter?”

“I’m not a deserter!” Shen Fan explained.

“If you’re not a deserter, why are you here?”

The girl stopped, took a sip of water, and sat opposite Shen Fan.

Shen Fan took the axe but was stopped: “You just recovered, don’t move around too much!”

“I am a man!”

Shen Fan held the axe with one hand and began to chop a pile of firewood.

After a few chops, he found it too troublesome.

He then picked up some already chopped firewood from the ground, looked at it, and examined its approximate size.

Immediately after, with a thought.

His Divine Sense, strengthened to the Coagulation Realm, effortlessly lifted all the firewood into the air.

Then, with a wave of his hand.

“Sky Spirit Slash!”

Several streams of spiritual power swept forth.

Like “slicing fruit,” a pile of wood was neatly separated in mid-air.

Then it fell down in an orderly fashion, forming a small pile.

The girl had already been astonished by this scene, her mouth wide open.

When she reacted, she immediately prostrated herself: “Greetings, Immortal Master!”

Shen Fan smiled slightly: “You saved me, you are my lifesaver. Whatever you wish for, I can fulfill any of your requests unconditionally!”

“I, I, I…”

The girl was so excited she was incoherent.

But the next moment, she stood up directly and ran out.

A moment later.

The girl actually brought a group of people.

Shen Fan looked and found that they were all women.

From an eighty-year-old old woman to an infant in swaddling clothes.

“You’ve all misunderstood!”

The girl kept explaining to everyone, “He’s not a deserter, he’s an Immortal Master! He’s an Immortal Master!”

Everyone crowded into the courtyard, curiously observing Shen Fan, who looked much better.

“Are you truly an Immortal Master?”

The leading old woman, about sixty or seventy years old, with white hair, asked in a trembling voice.

“Boom!”

Shen Fan didn’t speak; a burst of fire shot into the sky.

Frightening everyone, who repeatedly retreated.

Everyone gasped, then a large group knelt on the ground, shouting in unison.

“Immortal Master, save us!”

“Please, Immortal Master, save our Yandang City!”

...

Seeing this, Shen Fan’s brows immediately furrowed: “Everyone, stand up and tell me, what exactly happened?”

“Immortal Master, please, you must save our Yandang City!”

Shen Fan helped the leading old woman sit down.

The others sat on the ground, looking at Shen Fan with hopeful eyes.

“Our Yandang City is a city on the Northwest border defense of the Great Li Kingdom, considered the third line of defense in the Northwest of the Great Li Kingdom. But now, Western Liang and the Northern Barbarians have launched a joint attack. While they tie down General Yan, the defender of Yandang City, they bypassed us from both sides, directly isolating our Yandang City!”

The old woman explained with a choked voice.

“The Great Li Kingdom’s reinforcements can’t get in, and we can’t get out. Of Yandang City’s one hundred thousand defending troops, fewer than one in ten remain. Just a few days ago, all the males over twelve years old in our Yandang City voluntarily formed an army and went to the front lines to provide support. Now, the entire Yandang City is left with only us women, children, and the elderly!”

“There are Evil Cultivators among the Western Liang Northern Barbarians. General Yan, the defender of our Yandang City, is not their match. The one hundred thousand defending troops have suffered heavy casualties. We beg the Immortal Master to act, help General Yan, and save our Yandang City!”

Upon hearing this, Shen Fan suddenly understood.

However…

Mortals’ conflicts are not for Cultivators to interfere with!

Once discovered, the Sect would be held accountable, and if it were a Loose Cultivator, they would be executed!

“You said, there are Evil Cultivators among the Western Liang Northern Barbarians?” Shen Fan’s eyes lit up.

“Yes! Otherwise, how could General Yan not be able to defeat them? Even so, General Yan still killed five or six Evil Cultivators, and I heard they were Qi Refinement Stage Fourth or Fifth Layer Evil Cultivators!”

“That fierce?”

Shen Fan was a little surprised.

Killing Cultivators with a Mortal body.

Could a Mortal do that?

“Since there are Evil Cultivators, we Cultivators naturally cannot shirk our duty!”

Saying that, Shen Fan stood up directly, looking at all the women, children, and the elderly.

“Everyone, there’s no way to repay the life-saving kindness. Since there are Evil Cultivators causing trouble in Yandang City, I naturally cannot sit idly by. Please await good news and allow me to go and assist General Yan!”

“Thank you, Immortal Master! Thank you, Immortal Master!”
