Chapter 1101: Chapter 1103: Egger’s Scheme
However, what Egger didn’t know was that Crooked Dragon actually hoped he would storm Heavenly Mountain because Crooked Dragon was also actively searching for a way to leave this place.
Enforcing the entry of everyone into this world had a price, which was that Crooked Dragon also lost the right to use the Bronze Wedge.
As the former owner of the Bronze Wedge, Crooked Dragon’s only advantage was that he knew how to use it, and all of this was related to Egger...
Egger squeezed the letter in his hand, murderous intent surged in his heart, but then he temporarily put it away.
Now the most important thing was to proceed according to his own plan.
When he first came to this world, Egger was in an extremely weak state, and if the Black Night Knight had come then, he would have been completely doomed.
But several days passed, and he was quite safe, without hearing any rumors about the Black Night Knight.
He didn’t know that the Black Night Knight relied on satellite positioning. He thought it was the inherent ability of the Black Night Knight, so when he found that the Black Night Knight didn’t come, he assumed that the Black Night Knight didn’t come to this world.
Therefore, his actions became more brazen. The internal skills practiced by the disciples of Corpse Manor were gradually transforming themselves into bizarre corpses.
This bizarre state had a remarkable similarity to Egger’s decayed flesh, so practitioners of such internal skills could be perfectly absorbed by Egger, serving as the best material for his healing.
In order to heal better, Egger even helped the Corpse Manor modify their skills into the ’New Reclining Corpse Technique.’
Additionally, he granted them some cultivation ’divine medicine’ to make them stronger.
Those disciples of the Corpse Manor appeared to be very impressive, but in reality, they were merely pieces of bread fattening themselves up.
The differential treatment between genders was also deliberately done by Egger. Under the premise of practicing the New Reclining Corpse Technique, the flesh of female martial artists who did not take the pill was more easily absorbable, thus used by Egger for healing and restoration.
Male martial artists who took the pill turned into corpse people, whose Strength became more potent and violent; they were not so easily absorbed but served as Egger’s reserve of ’Strength.’
Egger learned from the mouths of those demons that there were so-called ’True Immortal’-level experts in this world. When those experts came looking, these corpse people would give them a surprise.
Whether it was the male martial artists seen as ’Strength’ or the female martial artists seen as ’Healing Medicine,’ it was all beneficial for Egger, so he sent his army of corpse people out to attack various martial world sects, to collect more bread slices for him.
Ordinary people couldn’t practice the New Reclining Corpse Technique, so they were meaningless to Egger.
Once he turned all the martial artists in the Southern Xiangnan land into corpse people, he would lead these corpse people towards the Da Song Capital, to become the Emperor of the Da Song Dynasty and rename it the Great Corpse Dynasty.
But how could these ordinary martial artists satisfy Egger? After he became Emperor, he would make everyone in the world learn internal skills, and once they had Inner Strength, they could practice the Reclining Corpse Technique, so by that time, the world would be in his grasp.
Egger’s ability was in distorting other life forms, and having just become Catastrophe-Level, he hadn’t had a chance to distort other life forms.
Ever since being defeated by the Black Night Knight, even when fighting with Wen Wen and Ishna, Egger was unable to fully utilize his abilities.
Therefore, when Egger got the opportunity to act freely in Corpse Manor, he held a fire within him, eager to quickly defeat another Catastrophe-Level Expert to prove his strength.
Just now, Egger noticed that some of the corpse people he sent out were wiped out, which meant someone had discovered his actions, and the other party was likely to find Corpse Manor next.
When they come, Egger would make sure they understand the true meaning of surprise.
Initially, Egger was grateful the Black Night Knight didn’t come, but now he hoped the Black Night Knight would come, so he could have a grand battle on his own turf!
...
Corpse Manor was very mysterious, and few had ventured into the Black Forest, but it actually wasn’t difficult to find.
Wen Wen, Qiao Feiya, and the Black Night Knight found this Black Forest in less than an hour.
The Black Night Knight extended his perception and easily located the village’s location.
Chun Ling and Wu Kai were not strong enough; facing a Catastrophe-Level Expert, they might encounter danger, so Wen Wen didn’t bring them along.
Standing outside the forest, the three did not rashly enter, as this forest was somewhat peculiar.
The miasma in the sky, the demons hidden within the forest, and the talking trees posed major troubles for ordinary superpower users, but posed no interference for the three.
However, all these were influenced by Egger. Whether flying into the miasma, cutting down demons, or chopping down the insulting trees, it might alert Egger.
If Egger got startled, he might flee, and finding him again would be troublesome.
Thus, from the edge of the forest to Corpse Manor, they had to ensure Egger couldn’t discern their identities, requiring the trio to disguise themselves.
Now Wen Wen could bring some items out of the Sanctuary, so disguising themselves wasn’t difficult.
After some preparations, the Black Night Knight transformed into a burly man with a full beard, wielding two battle axes.
Qiao Feiya wore a black bamboo hat, and her body clothed in black long attire, appearing like a well-known heroine of Jianghu.
And Wen Wen, impressively, somehow found a Royal Guard costume, with white powder painted on his face and holding a fan, looking every bit the factory elegance.
The trio’s disguises were foolproof, and after ensuring their auras wouldn’t be easily detected, they entered the Black Forest.
Wen Wen took the lead, shaking his fan, loudly saying to the others, "This land under the sky surely belongs to the king; the children of Jianghu are also citizens of the officialdom. Now that Jianghu is in turmoil with villains emerging, our family certainly needs to interfere."
"Our family was formerly the Southern Factory’s overseeing eunuch, and cannot stand seeing such Jianghu scoundrels. With Heroine Qiao and Hero Qi here today, we will brave even dragon’s lairs and tiger’s dens."
The Black Night Knight chimed in, "Me too!"
Qiao Feiya, seeing Wen Wen’s affected demeanor, felt a wave of disgust. He really brought the eunuch’s essence to life.
She imitated Wen Wen’s style and said softly, "Eunuch Wen is deeply benevolent and righteous, my little girl is impressed. I heard that now in the Southern Factory, all the eunuchs are studying the ’Chrysanthemum Manual’ created by Eunuch Wen. It truly is a great martial arts classic."
Wen Wen clasped his hands, "You two flatter me. Hero Qi, in extreme anger, single-handedly wiped out a pack of Wolf Demon Yao, and Heroine Qiao, with a single slide tackle, slew a Tiger Demon Yao; these feats are widely known across Da Song."
"After eradicating these demons this time, come with me back to Da Song, the Southern Factory needs talents like you both."
