Chapter 730: 14.6 Last Violet Star - Fierce Female Corpse
Everyone watched the scene of Hri Anjing disappearing in thin air and no one could feel he had gone off.
Emperor Hong said, "He"s gone. We should return to?"
"Not going to send someone to look for him?" asked the Minister.
Emperor Hong said, "No need. There was no way he didn"t notice our presence but since he decided to turn a blind eye to us means he doesn"t care. He is already at the Peak stage of cultivation in this realm. Just treat him like Chun Qingyun from the Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect. Like an ancestor, no one should offend and not care at all. It is better if we don"t anger him by approaching him on purpose. He is obviously here for a reason. Let him be."
"Okay. Then I will send a decree to the young ones. Describe his appearance so no one from the younger generation offends this Venerable Lord," said the Minister.
The Emperor of humans agreed to his minister"s suggestion and they both returned to the Imperial Palace. Things had resumed to normal.
Meanwhile, Hei Anjing, who didn"t know where to go, walked around not knowing what he was looking for. This time he went to the town but people could barely remember him. He made sure to keep a spell. On him which would make one immediately forget about him after they"ve stopped seeing him. He is like a living ghost in the human realm.
In the countryside near Lan County, Hei Anjing was having tea at the most luxurious restaurant in the town. He reserved the VIP for himself and the store had all served him like a king. A small but extravagant feast was prepared on his table. Though the tea he is currently enjoying is the same one he had in the Immortal Realm. On the opposite side of him, Zhi Yue had used his humanoid form and wore the same attire as what the people in this world wear.
He joins Lord Hei during meals and runs errands for him. Like looking for restaurants or inns to stay in. They had enough money to buy the whole human realm. Zhi Yue is currently eating breakfast with Lord Hei who is currently enjoying his milk tea. This time it was raspberry flavored.
Hei Anjing was looking at the public room full of mortals. There are some running stores, people buying stuff, and the same cultivators running around here and there. Of course, he noticed the different colors of the robes those young cultivators wore. He had seen some wearing white, gold, and green around here. He watches the scenes on the road with a detached gaze as if he was not included in this world and was just a pa.s.serby.
Suddenly he saw a young man run past the restaurant he was in. Covered in black and blue bruises, old robes looking like a rag with multiple holes and tears, this young man held his dislocated left arm and ran away for his life.
Chaos appeared on the road, some mortals selling things in stalls were almost run down by the horse ridden by a fat young master wearing clean brown robes. It wasn"t as magnificent as the one which cultivators wore but the quality of the clothes can be said to be bought by someone with enough wealth.
Now, this fat young master was urging his horse to run after the young man who looked like a beggar from before. He held his whip like a tyrant and ran after his prey.
"Ahhh! Ran! It"s Young Master Du and Jin Sang again!"
"Avoid him! f.u.c.k!"
The fat young master shouted as he urged his horse to run, "Move away! You ants... You are making me lose my prey!!!"
Both young men look 13 to 15 years of age but the difference in standing is greater. As soon as the two pa.s.sed by the other ordinary humans were crowding as they commented,
"Aigoo~ Young Master Du is bullying Xiao Sang again."
"What can we do? Xiao Sang"s wife happens to be the illegitimate daughter of the Old Master Du. The current Matriarch Du happens to be the legitimate daughter and had always hated Xiao Sang"s mother for being connected with marriage to the Old Sect Leader of Jin Tiangui Sect (Gold Heavenly Turtle Sect)"
"But didn"t Xiao Sang"s mother die in the end? Everyone knew how many wives and concubines the Former Sect Leader Jin had. The harem of that man is even harder to live in than in the Imperial Palace of Hong Dynasty."
"Shss~ keep quiet! You don"t want Xiao Sang"s mother to return as a fierce corpse right!?"
"Bad omen! Keep away!"
Hei Anjing even without listening carefully to this gossip could hear everything because of his high cultivation. He stares in the direction where that young man called Jin Sang had run off. Under his heavenly eyes, he could see the karma that boy possessed. He had enough merit to have a good life but... the life debts of his parents especially his father are too bad and he is greatly affected by his father"s bad luck.
Zhi Yue asked, "What are you looking at Lord Hei? Is there something wrong with that boy?"
"His merits are being corroded by bad luck. If this continues he might... Do something he would regret in his whole life," said Hei Anjing as he averted his eyes from the outside scenery and slowly sipped his milk tea.
Zhi Yue asked, "Does Lord Hei wish to help the boy?"
"I am not nosy. Though since I"m bored I don"t mind watching a show," replied Hei Anjing.
Zhi Yue finished his meals and stood up. He prepared to leave as he knew it was his time to make a move.
"Please leave it to me, Lord Hei. I will gather all the information you need!"
After saying those words he disappeared into thin air. Hei Anjing"s eyes remained calm as if he hadn"t seen anything. He enjoyed his tea without caring much for the world.

Evening.
In the forest that surrounds the countryside town where Hei Anjing is currently staying. A few youngsters wearing white robes with white cloud patterns wielding their swords are running within the forest chasing after a fierce corpse. This fierce corpse had the form. The young lady and her whole body are full of resentment, making her thrice stronger than an ordinary living corpse.
These young men were disciples of the (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect. This is a small group of young disciples out for a night hunt. There are at least 5 of them hunting the female Fierce corpse.

Leading the group of five from the Sect, Yun Anjie was controlling his sword with qi. He was using a common technique to control their flying swords.
Yun Anjie commanded, "I will distract the target. Slowly surround it and create a formation to trap it."
"Anye! What should we do? This fierce lady. I mean fierce corpse is at least in 1st level Foundation Establishment Stage. The Trapping Array cannot capture it at all!" said Yun Fan.
Yun Anjie said, "Try it first. This forest is near the countryside. If she ate more her strength would increase by then she would be beyond our means! We need to try to end her here or capture her."
"I think it"s better to end her here. Capture is not possible!" said Yun Fan.
Yun Anjie said, "Try it first. This corpse had a tomb mark. It wasn"t an unnamed tomb. If we destroyed her vessel, her family would be sad."
Sigh~
"Okay! Let"s try it. But if she escapes we can only inform the seniors or an elder to help us," said Yun Fan.
Yun Anjie nods his head. They did as planned and surrounded the female fierce corpse. They were successful in activating the array and temporarily imprisoned the female fierce corpse.
Phew~
"This is so hard to do. I"m tired and hungry," said Yun Fan.
Yun Anjie pats his shoulder and says, "Thanks for the hard work, I"ll Fan. After sending her back to heaven we can return to the sect and report."
"You really make me work too hard. You better teach me how to write the report properly Anjie," said Yun Fan.
The other three also said, "Us too!!!"
"Sure. I will guide you," said Yun Anjie.
GIIIYYYYAAAAA~
But who would have expected that the quiet female corpse would suddenly struggle strongly as if it was affected by something? A monster shriek comes out of her mouth and her strength suddenly increases. It was as if she had entered berserk mode.
Yun Fan said, "Oh no! She is forcefully breaking the array!! Get away!!"
The sounds of cracking were heard and the trapping array was broken. The aura the female fierce monster had emitted changed from 1st level Foundation Establishment to 3rd level Foundation Establishment Stage.
Crackles~ crack! BOOM!!!
GIIYYAAAAAA!
Yun Anjie shouted, "Oh no! She"s running away!!!"
Yun Fan threw a Talisman on the fierce ghost leaving a tracker spell on her. But as expected, the female fierce corpse had disappeared from the town.
Tsk!
"She runs to the town! It would be hard to find her now unless she showed herself!" said Yun Fan.
Yun Anjie spoke, "Report to the higher-ups. For now, we try to follow the trails of her resentment energy."
"Let"s move fast. The trails would be gone by the time the sun had risen," said Yun Fan as he activated a talisman to trace trails of resentment energy but who would have thought that the trail would find two trails of resentment aura?
"Ha? Two trails? What"s happening here!?" asked Yun Fan.
Even Yun Anjie frowned at this discovery while the rest felt things had gone beyond their means.
"Two trails. It means there"s another being covered or affected by resentment energy. We need to report this as soon as possible," said Yun Anjie.
They"ve sent a carrier pigeon back to the Sect and reported about the fierce corpse at high leveled Foundation Establishment Stage. To avoid death, they needed help from a senior or an elder.
"Brother Anye, I"ve sent the report. What should we do next?" asked one of the disciples from the same sect.
Yun Anjie responded, "For now, we should check on the trail with the most powerful resentment energy. It"s in the direction of the town marketplace."
"Sigh~ this is more troublesome than the Female Corpse. We don"t even have any information about whatever or whoever possessed that resentment energy. If it happens to be a demonic cultivator what should we do?" said Yun Fan.
Yun Anjie hesitated after hearing this and commented, "But would a Demonic Cultivator stay in crowded places like Market Place?"
"Well, I doubt so. So you are thinking it might be a senior or someone holding an item with resentment qi?" said Yun Fan.
Yun Anjie said, "Yes. It would be better if it"s that way. Let"s go."
"Okay~," said the other disciples with him as they headed towards the countryside town looking for the female fierce corpse that had gone hiding after it escaped.
Meanwhile, at some abandoned temple, the young man in a beggar suit is captured by the fat young master and his minion. The little beggar was a young man named Jin Sang.
The fat young master was whipping him on the ground. Jin Sang could only protect his head as he was whipped.
"You"re s.l.u.t mother is dead! You are just a b.a.s.t.a.r.d not wanted by the Jin Clan itself. Useless beggar. We don"t have any more money to waste on you! Why don"t you just die here?!"
Jin Sang was in extreme pain but his eyes were full of hatred and anger. It wasn"t his intention to do so but resentment energy coming from his body started to spread. This energy was so pure and strong. Such kind of resentment energy is what the living corpse and ghosts love to eat the most. The female fierce ghost from before had come over.
She landed in between Jin Sang and the little group led by the fat young master Du.
GIIYYAAAAAA!!!
Everyone was frightened by her arrival. She glanced at the injured Jin Sang on the ground and showed anger like a normal human being. Her hate had all fallen on the side of the fat man and his team.
"Ahhhh! Ghost!!! N-No? A m-moving corpse! Run away! It would eat us ahh!!!"
