The crazy uncle-master went on a killing spree, and the whole sect was burned to death!

Chapter 434 The Rotting Corpse!
Besides, the combined cultivation levels of the three of them posed no threat to him whatsoever.

Therefore, he wouldn't care at all.

Sure enough, upon hearing Song Wanning's words, Clan Chief Huo chuckled.

I find Song Wanning's overestimation of her abilities amusing.

They certainly didn't take those people seriously.

A mere few alchemists, even combined, are no match for him; he'll let them die knowing why...

He glanced at Song Wanning indifferently and said to Huo Jinchuan, "Take her to the secret room."

"Yes."

Huo Jinchuan nodded obediently, and then led the three of them out of the stone chamber.

But instead of leaving immediately, they wandered around until they arrived at a teleportation array.

"Walk."

As soon as they stepped into the teleportation array, they felt dizzy and disoriented.

The teleportation array finally stopped after a full incense stick's time.

Song Wanning concealed her shock. She had been sitting in the teleportation array for so long, how far had they gotten?
Why all this mystery? Just who is the person we're trying to save?
Bai Li Shang's eyes darkened, and he was ready to leave at any moment.

The teleportation array opened quickly, and a dazzling light shone in.

The group quickly raised their hands to shield their eyes from the light, and only after their eyes adjusted did they follow Huo Jinchuan out of the teleportation array.

"hiss--"

A bone-chilling cold swept over them instantly, and within seconds, the three of them were covered in a layer of frost.

Seeing this, Huo Jinchuan raised his hand and waved it gently. The frost shattered and fell to the ground in fragments.

But the bone-chilling cold still slowed the three of them down. Every step they took felt like they were under immense pressure, their bones cracking and aching from the cold.

Song Wanning's face also turned red quickly, but since she had a fire elemental root, her spiritual power spun rapidly within her body, quickly dispelling the chill and restoring her to normal.

Huo Jinchuan glanced at Song Wanning.

This person has the strongest luck and is also the most difficult to deal with.

Seizing the other party's fortune will likely be difficult...

It seems we should start by targeting Xiao Heyun.

Only when one's luck is on par with Song Wanning's will there be a chance to seize her.

Otherwise, there's a high chance that Song Wanning will escape.

Huo Jinchuan understood the importance of luck all too well, and even felt that luck far surpassed everything else.

Therefore, his obsession with luck reached an abnormal level.

Despite being a time traveler, he felt no arrogance whatsoever; instead, he was filled with anxiety.

And seizing luck can be addictive.

Huo Jinchuan lowered his eyes and continued walking forward.

Song Wanning followed behind, and upon hearing Huo Jinchuan's plan, a glint of light flashed in her eyes.

She gave Xiao Heyun a malicious look.

In this contest between the two invaders, it's unclear which side the Heavenly Dao of the Wood Plastic World favors.
If that's not enough, she wouldn't mind adding more fuel to the fire.

Ideally, both sides would suffer heavy losses; that would be the best outcome.

...

Half an hour later, the group finally stopped and arrived outside an ice palace.

The ice palace was surrounded by barriers, making it impossible for anyone to enter or leave, even if they were discovered.

Huo Jinchuan made no attempt to hide his actions, forcing out a drop of his heart's blood and dripping it into the restriction, which immediately created a small door.

He led his men through the small door, and only continued walking inside after the door closed again.

Baili Shang frowned slightly. With so many restrictions, his chances of escaping were slim.

But there must be another way to leave the ice palace, so we can only take it one step at a time and see what happens.

Huo Jinchuan quickly led his men into the ice palace, which was filled with ice blocks, and all the furniture was made of ice.

The group climbed the stairs and arrived at the second floor.

As soon as Song Wanning stepped onto the second floor, she smelled a strong stench of decay. It was the smell of rotting food.

Xiao Heyun and the other person's expressions changed, and they looked toward the source of the smell.

Upon seeing this, the faces of the group turned pale.

Despite their hands being covered in blood, the three were still disgusted by the scene before them.

On the ice bed, a corpse lay there silently.

Judging from her clothing, she should be a woman.

Although her body was preserved by ice, it could not stop the decomposition process. Her flesh was rotten and swollen, and it was even oozing pus.

It looks absolutely disgusting.

Xiao Heyun almost gagged, and struggled to stand while leaning against the ice wall beside him.

Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them, but this person's corpse...

It was absolutely disgusting; it was enough to give you nightmares.

Why would Chief Huo keep such a corpse?

Just crazy!

The three reacted rather strongly, and Huo Jinchuan curled the corners of his mouth into a cold smile.

His expression was calm; he was already used to the scene before him. He slowly walked forward and added layers of ice to the corpse, one by one.

Xiao Heyun stared at him in horror. Huo Jinchuan was a ruthless man; he could remain unfazed even in this situation.

Just as the three hesitated, Chief Huo finally arrived.

He was in a hurry, and even though he tried his best to suppress it, he still couldn't hide his excitement.

His figure swept past the three of them and went straight to the front of the corpse.

"Meng'er, I'm back!"

Chief Huo stepped forward and reached out to stroke the ice layer, his eyes so tender they seemed to melt away.

His affectionate expression gave Song Wanning and the other two goosebumps.

A handsome, imposing middle-aged man was gently stroking a rotting corpse.

This scene looks incredibly eerie no matter how you look at it.

It's even quite perverted.

It's even more perverse than evil cultivation.

Huo Jinchuan, however, remained nonchalant and continued to cover the corpse with ice.

Only when the ice was solid enough and the stench was completely masked did Chief Huo push Huo Jinchuan away.

"Useless thing, you can't even do such a small thing as sealing your mother off properly."

"If I had known this would happen, I should have strangled you the moment you were born!"

Chief Huo glared fiercely at Huo Jinchuan, his eyes filled with disgust and hatred.

The look in his eyes wasn't like he was looking at his son, but more like he was looking at an enemy.

The expressions of Song Wanning and the other two were quite subtle. Wasn't it said that Huo Jinchuan was highly valued and doted on by the clan leader?
This doesn't look like it at all.

Chief Huo's eyes flashed coldly as he looked at Song Wanning and raised his hand to grab her forcefully.

Song Wanning was immediately captured and had her neck grabbed by Chief Huo.

"If you dare to lie to me, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

His expression was contorted, and the oppressive aura emanating from him made it hard for Song Wanning to breathe.

She suppressed the urge to retaliate, revealing a hint of fear.

"Don't worry, senior, I wouldn't dare to lie..."

"But... if I wake her up, can you let me go?"

Song Wanning's feigned strength actually made Chief Huo lower his guard.

He threw Song Wanning away and then carefully took out a Buddhist lamp from his storage ring.

Within the halo above the Buddha lamp, a wisp of a remnant soul flickered in and out of sight, having fallen into a coma.
