CHAPTER 1100: CHAPTER 1102: CORPSE MANOR

The record of deciphering the enemy’s dangerous abilities allows the Black Night Knight to have a way to deal with all enemies, which is also the reason he was able to slay the previous Divine Blood Holder of the Profane Blood, Galax.

However, the Black Night Knight is not a war maniac. He collects this information merely as a precaution. Unless Wen Wen goes crazy one day and massacres civilians, the Black Night Knight will not take action against Wen Wen.

Now everyone here has already broken free from the influence of the Corpse People Pill, and the three are ready to head to Corpse Manor.

The sky had just darkened for less than an hour, and tonight the Black Night Knight still had a long time to operate normally, so everyone decided to immediately head to Corpse Manor.

The presence of these Corpse People has already proven the connection between Egger and Corpse Manor, and their defeat will surely alert Egger. If they don’t go tonight, they might not see Egger if they go tomorrow.

The battle at Yuriano’s reduced Egger’s strength to the extreme. As long as they can find him, he surely has no chance of escaping.

So it’s a natural course of action for Wen Wen tonight; the only difference is whether to let the Black Night Knight kill Egger or for Wen Wen to find a chance to capture Egger and bring him to the Sanctuary.

Additionally, this time verified the effect of the Stone Ring, which also gave Wen Wen some mischievous ideas, maybe when dealing with Egger, Wen Wen could use this Stone Ring to play some tricky moves.

...

On the surface, Corpse Manor doesn’t look like a prestigious sect, just a village with a slightly gloomy appearance.

The buildings in the village all look very normal, even a bit impoverished.

But when you look carefully, you can see that the walls and tiles of the buildings are unnaturally distorted, giving the village an eerie and evil vibe compared to normal ones.

The village is located within a forest where the tree trunks are a deep brown and the leaves an inky green, looking like a Black Forest from a distance.

Grey-black fog lingers above the forest year-round, and most people begin to experience illusions not long after entering. Only martial artists with inner strength can wander freely in this Black Forest.

However, even martial artists rarely wander into the forest, not to mention that one of the five major Evil Sects in Jianghu, Corpse Manor, is here.

Just the occasional appearance of zombies here makes martial artists’ scalps go numb.

The Evil Sect that can establish itself in Jianghu possesses some skills to ensure its survival; otherwise, it would have been wiped out by righteous sects long ago. The Black Forest is the natural barrier of Corpse Manor.

There’s a legend about Corpse Manor claiming that their ancestors could cultivate immensely powerful zombies, even a fearsome Zombie King.

In order to create zombies to unify Jianghu, Corpse Manor has kidnapped many people over the years for human experiments, and the zombies in the Black Forest are the products of these experiments. The miasma above the Black Forest is the condensation of victims’ grievances.

Of course, the fact that martial artists don’t visit doesn’t mean that the vast Black Forest only has Corpse Manor and zombies.

Countless terrifying demonic creatures reside in this eerie forest. These demonic creatures don’t interfere with Corpse Manor, but anyone else entering is bound to be attacked by them.

The environment here is somewhat similar to that of the Inner World, making these ferocious creatures feel very comfortable.

Hence, they unanimously made a decision: not to attack Corpse Manor and not to let other monsters attack it either. Once Corpse Manor is destroyed, they find it hard to find such a comfortable place again.

However, after Egger entered Corpse Manor, these creatures, which had been guarding Corpse Manor for countless years, were the first to suffer.

Some were drained of their flesh and blood energy by Egger, while others were transformed into even more terrifying monsters to serve as Egger’s guards.

Moreover, the trees in the Black Forest were subtly influenced by Egger, becoming a type of special life-form.

First, their branches became tougher, to the extent that even martial artists wielding sharp blades couldn’t cut through the bark, and then eyes, noses, ears, and mouths grew on the trees.

The ears and noses could discern the position and emotions of living people, the eyes could partially see through people’s hearts, and the mouths would relentlessly reveal people’s scars. If no scars were visible, they would lash out with the most vicious curses.

The miasma also became more lethal, capable of causing certain mutations in a person’s body.

The entire Black Forest has become a dead zone, where even regular superpower users cannot hope to exit once they enter.

In the Inner World, Catastrophe-level life forms are known as ’Star Realm Gods.’ As a Deity, their mere existence affects the surroundings. A Catastrophe-Level Expert with normal thoughts influences positively, while Egger influences negatively, typical of a great villain.

The Hunters Association’s Judicators consciously control such influences, but someone like Egger wouldn’t be concerned with such things.

Two massive camps were built outside Corpse Manor, one for housing male martial artists who consumed the Corpse People Pill, who are to be transformed into Corpse People here, and the other for housing the Corpse People.

Whether it’s martial artists about to transform into Corpse People or those already transformed, they are very space-efficient, needing only a standing position.

In the center of the village stands a luxurious courtyard, the only upscale place in Corpse Manor, which has now become Egger’s residence.

Numerous modified female martial artists with inner strength are sent daily into Egger’s courtyard, but none ever emerge alive, not even a bone is found.

At this moment, Egger sits in the center of the camp, holding a letter paper, with a disdainful expression on his face.

"Crooked Dragon, you think that at this point, I would still believe you? If it weren’t for trusting your unfailing nonsense about Yuriano, how would I have ended up in this predicament?"

Indeed, the letter was sent by Crooked Dragon, inviting Egger to the Heavenly Mountain in the name of ’Tianshan Poison Immortal King’ Pi Yanping, to discuss grand plans against the Black Night Knight and Ishna.

However, having been deceived once, Egger no longer trusts Crooked Dragon.

In fact, upon seeing this letter, Egger already harbored thoughts of going up the Heavenly Mountain to kill Crooked Dragon.

Egger, after all, is a Catastrophe-Level Expert and unwilling to stay in this incomplete world forever.

The world is peculiar; their strength can’t penetrate outwards. Otherwise, they could mimic the Inner World’s Star Realm Gods and return to the real world through ’descending.’

Egger himself is a life form of the real world, with descent being countless times easier than for the Inner World’s monsters.

Since descending won’t work, the best outcome for Egger is to find a way out and destroy the passage after exiting.

Trapping the Black Night Knight and Ishna here forever!
