Chapter 126: Lock-on

"Spirit-Parasitized Body?"

"What is this thing!"

Sun Xuan looked at the information emerging from the corpse, and could not help thinking with some surprise.

This was the first time since Sun Xuan descended into this world that his Golden Finger displayed information about items other than himself.

Judging by this, this corpse really did have some peculiarities.

Although Sun Xuan was interested in this corpse, he sensed a faint feeling of danger from it.

Moreover, this feeling of danger grew increasingly intense as time passed.

As a result, Sun Xuan had to suppress the curiosity in his heart, quickly moving the corpse onto the handcart that had already been prepared in the courtyard.

Then, he threw all the blood-stained quilts and clothes from the bed onto the handcart.

However, what puzzled Sun Xuan was that the wound on the female corpse's neck was obviously caused by a sharp blade.

But after Sun Xuan threw all the messy things onto the handcart, he completely failed to find anything that could have caused such a wound.

This phenomenon inevitably gave rise to some doubts in Sun Xuan's heart.

Due to a lack of understanding of this world, Sun Xuan could not figure out the specific situation for a moment.

Earlier, when watching Master Han and Master Zhao spar, Sun Xuan had been guessing whether this world was a Wuxia world.

But after seeing this female corpse, Sun Xuan was somewhat uncertain about this world for a moment.

However, now was not the time to think about these things.

Within Sun Xuan's perception, the dangerous aura on the female corpse had grown increasingly rich.

This should be related to the Awakening of the Spirit-Parasitized Body displayed above her head.

It seemed that as time passed, the degree of Awakening of this female corpse was getting higher and higher.

Even after possessing considerable martial prowess, Sun Xuan still felt increasingly threatened by this Awakening female corpse.

It could be seen from this that this female corpse was not something the current Sun Xuan could deal with.

Since that was the case, it was better to follow Third Young Master Li's words and throw this corpse out of the city as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Sun Xuan pulled the handcart, and without saying another word, took advantage of the gate's cover to head outside the Li family estate.

At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, Sun Xuan caught sight of Third Young Master Li with a trace of inexplicable expression in his eyes as he gently raised his chin at Steward Liu.

Steward Liu immediately wore an "I understand" expression and followed Sun Xuan toward the outside of the Li family's residence.

Sun Xuan glanced sideways at the following Steward Liu, a sneer flashing in his heart.

Then he kept walking without stopping toward the outside of the Li family residence.

Under the cover of night and under Steward Liu's instigation, Sun Xuan walked entirely through alleyways where there were few people at night.

Along this path within the Li family estate, they did not encounter any outsiders again.

Afterwards, Sun Xuan pulled the handcart, with Steward Liu following behind him with an inexplicable expression, passing through the back door of the Li family residence and heading outside of Qinghe County.

Qinghe County at night had long lost the hustle and bustle of the daytime, leaving only a scene of tranquility and chill.

Under the illumination of the moonlight, a breeze gently swept across the street, and the white cloth covering the female corpse and the blood-stained clothes was suddenly slightly blown open.

Revealing the pale, resentful face of the female corpse beneath it.

Such a scene indeed had a somewhat eerie and terrifying feel.

Sun Xuan didn't care about this; as an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon in the Renegade Immortal World, he didn't know how many cultivators of both the immortal and demonic paths he had killed.

To Sun Xuan, a mere eerie Mortal corpse was no different from dirt and stones.

It was just because he had just descended into this world and this body was too fragile at the moment that he had to be a bit cautious.

After all, descending to another world once also consumed a great deal for Sun Xuan's true body.

If this descended body were to be destroyed without gaining huge benefits in this world, it truly wouldn't be worth the loss for Sun Xuan.

But Steward Liu, who followed behind Sun Xuan, under this eerie scene, kept looking back with fearful eyes, as if he was constantly on guard against something.

Seeing this, Sun Xuan's mocking attitude toward Steward Liu grew even more profound in his heart.

However, the pace under Sun Xuan's feet grew faster and faster.

He had to throw this eerie female corpse out of the city before it awakened.

Just as the two of them were pulling the corpse and rushing out of the county town, Third Young Master Li, standing in the courtyard, spoke with a sneer at the corner of his mouth:

"Little handyman, don't blame this young master for being cruel. Who asked you to see things you shouldn't have seen?"

"Although you probably don't have the guts to speak of today's events, what if you do?"

"I certainly don't want the old fellow to know that I killed another young chick again. Otherwise, that old thing would lecture me again and even cut off my monthly stipend!"

"After Old Liu kills you, I must have a good talk with him and make sure he keeps his mouth tightly shut for me."

"But Old Liu is an old servant by my side, I can still trust him with this trivial matter!"

After muttering a few words with a shifting expression, Third Young Master Li walked into the room by himself.

As for Sun Xuan, together with Steward Liu, under the cold moonlight, they traversed one silent street after another.

The handcart pulling the corpse ground against the road surface, making a creaking friction sound.

Because Sun Xuan was afraid that the corpse on the handcart would awaken, his speed was very fast.

Even though there was a considerable distance between the Li family residence and the city gates of Qinghe County, in a short amount of time, Sun Xuan had already arrived at the exit of the city gates.

Passing through the city gates was a wide earthen official road.

However, after pulling the handcart a short distance along the official road, the two of Sun Xuan turned onto a small path extending from the official road.

Walking forward along this small path until reaching the end was the location of the mass graves of Qinghe County.

Unlike the spacious and smooth official road, this path was not only very narrow, but the road surface was also uneven and full of potholes.

On both sides of the path, weeds and shrubs grew densely. Under the moonlight, their shifting shadows gave people a gloomy and terrifying feeling.

Especially the female corpse lying on the handcart; shaken by the bumps of the road, a faintly cyan palm hung down from the handcart.

It scared Steward Liu, who was following behind the handcart, so much that cold sweat broke out on his back layer after layer.

At this moment, with a suspicious expression, Steward Liu walked for a distance along this path and finally could no longer endure the pressure of this atmosphere.

"Sun Xuan, just throw the corpse here. You can drag the handcart and throw the corpse into the woods deep by the roadside."

"Usually, no one comes here, and there are quite a few wild beasts. In a few days, this corpse will only be a pile of white bones!"

Steward Liu wiped the cold sweat from his head and then spoke to Sun Xuan.

Hearing these words, Sun Xuan naturally didn't care.

It was better to throw the corpse down earlier. Who knew when this corpse would awaken?

Sun Xuan also didn't want to cause more trouble.

Without saying another word, Sun Xuan pulled the handcart and drilled into the woods beside the road.

As for Steward Liu, after a hesitant expression flashed across his face, he gritted his teeth and also followed Sun Xuan into the woods.

Sun Xuan, walking in front, caught a glimpse of the following Steward Liu and smiled coldly in his heart, but his feet did not stop, heading all the way into the depths of the small woods.

After walking for a period of time, it was completely impossible to walk forward any further within the small woods.

The ground ahead was completely covered by messily growing, twisted trees.

"Alright, Sun Xuan, just throw it here!"

Steward Liu, following behind, panted slightly and said to Sun Xuan.

"Okay."

Hearing this, Sun Xuan replied casually, and then threw the handcart onto the ground.

"Then, Steward Liu, the work is done, shall we go back?"

Hearing Sun Xuan's words, a smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of Steward Liu's mouth, and with an inexplicable expression on his face, he said to Sun Xuan:

"What's the rush? Third Young Master asked you to do this dirty work for him; the reward definitely won't be lacking for you."

"Come over here, get closer, and I'll give you Third Young Master's reward!"

Hearing this, a faint, imperceptible smile emerged from the corner of Sun Xuan's mouth.

"Is that so? What did Third Young Master reward me with?"

Sun Xuan said as he walked toward Steward Liu's side.

The moment Sun Xuan walked up in front of Steward Liu, Steward Liu's expression suddenly turned ferocious.

His right hand, which had always been hidden in his sleeve, suddenly reached out, and a dagger flashing with a biting cold light was tightly grasped in Steward Liu's palm.

As soon as Steward Liu's right hand holding the dagger reached out, he fiercely stabbed toward Sun Xuan's chest.

With a trembling voice accompanying his somewhat distorted face, Steward Liu spoke:

"You idiot, your reward is to go die!"

Looking at the dagger fiercely stabbing toward him unexpectedly, the expression on Sun Xuan's face did not change in the slightest.

A flash of jade-like luster flickered over one of Sun Xuan's palms, and then, like lightning, it rapidly reached out in the direction the dagger was stabbing.

Then, two fingers, like iron pliers, tightly clamped onto the dagger stabbed by Steward Liu.

Watching Sun Xuan firmly clamp down his must-kill dagger with just two fingers,

the ferocious and distorted expression on his face instantly vanished, and a look of fear, as if seeing a ghost, abruptly emerged on his face.

"You… You… This…"

Steward Liu's lips trembled as he stammered to say something, but unfortunately Sun Xuan did not give him that chance.

"Old Liu, whatever you have to say, go tell King Yama on the Yellow Springs road."

"In your next life, remember to keep your eyes brighter and don't take just any job. Offending someone who shouldn't be offended will really cost you your life!"

Sun Xuan opened his mouth and interrupted the trembling Steward Liu.

A mysterious black luster flickered over his other arm, and then he slammed his palm fiercely down onto Steward Liu's crown.

"Puff!"

Hearing a muffled sound, Steward Liu's entire head was driven into his chest and abdomen by Sun Xuan's palm.

Following closely, Sun Xuan kicked out horizontally, and Steward Liu's headless corpse was instantly kicked flying by Sun Xuan.

With a bang, it landed on the ground, then immediately rolled like a rolling gourd and smashed down beneath the handcart holding the female corpse.

After solving Steward Liu, Sun Xuan flicked his hands lightly, and then, acting as if nothing had happened, headed toward the Li family residence in Qinghe County.

Walking halfway, Sun Xuan's figure suddenly paused, and an indescribable sense of chill abruptly attached itself to Sun Xuan's body.

"It seems that female corpse has successfully awakened!"

Within a split second, Sun Xuan figured out the source of this chill.

Then Sun Xuan's heart stirred, and his status panel was immediately summoned out by Sun Xuan.

[Name: Sun Xuan]

[Physique: 3.2]

[Soul: 1.7]

[Skills: Basic Pugilism (Mastery), Shattered Jade Palm (Mastery 23%), Evil Tendon Art (Mastery 17%)]

[Items: None]

[Status: Spirit Slave Locked-on…]

The proficiency levels of skills, from low to high, are Entry, Proficiency, Mastery, Expertise, Perfection.

Of course, basic skills are not included; most basic skills are simple and only have the Realm of Mastery.

After absorbing the large amount of attribute light spheres dropped by Master Han and Master Zhao,

Sun Xuan's two skills, Shattered Jade Palm and Evil Tendon Art, had both reached the level of Mastery.

After summoning out the status panel, Sun Xuan could not help but silently say "just as expected" in his heart.

This "Spirit Slave Locked-on" should mean he was targeted by that awakened female corpse.

Thinking of this, a trace of gloominess flashed within Sun Xuan's heart.

For some reason, that awakened female corpse had targeted him.

At this moment, Sun Xuan was somewhat unclear about what the female corpse's method of locking onto her attack target actually was.

The so-called every cause must have an effect; since this female corpse had locked onto him, it was certain that there was some Karma relationship within it.

In any case, she wouldn't have locked onto him out of thin air.

"Could it be because I collected her corpse? That is indeed not impossible."

Sun Xuan sped up his pace, walking toward the Li family's residence.

While thinking to himself in his heart.

At this moment, Sun Xuan definitely would not leave the Li family residence for the time being.

Firstly, because Sun Xuan did not yet understand the environment of this world, he would borrow the Li family to shelter himself for a period of time.

Secondly, because he was currently locked onto by that awakened female corpse.

No matter what, that female corpse would sooner or later find him and then attack him.

Since that was the case, it was better to temporarily hide in the Li family residence and rely on the Li family's power to deal with that awakened female corpse.

After all, his strength was not yet strong enough. Although on the surface the only ones who could fight best in the Li family were Master Han and Master Zhao,

Sun Xuan believed that in this world which was obviously somewhat abnormal, in the hands of an old clan like the Li family, there must still be some hidden powers in secret.

Although he didn't know whether the Li family could deal with that awakened female corpse, it was still much better than dealing with it alone by himself.

On the return trip, because there was no handcart holding him back, Sun Xuan's pace was extremely fast, returning to the Li family residence at twice the speed of his coming.

After returning to the Li family, Sun Xuan did not go to Third Young Master Li's courtyard to report the situation.

After all, when they went, it was both Sun Xuan and Steward Liu, and Steward Liu had also been secretly instructed by Third Young Master Li to get rid of Sun Xuan.

But when coming back, only he himself returned.

Even if Third Young Master Li were a moron, he would definitely know that Steward Liu had a problem.

Sun Xuan couldn't be bothered to look for more trouble right now, so he simply went straight back to the handymen's quarters to sleep.
