Seeing Lu Yao's anger, Shen Ze's eyes flickered with flames as he retreated repeatedly, saying: "Alright, since the senior sister insists, the junior brother will temporarily return to the mountain."

"But there's one thing I hope the senior sister can convey to the group of ants below, give them a deadline of six months to immediately withdraw from the vicinity of the Ten Thousand Corpses Mountain, not allowed to go up the mountain to retrieve corpses, or next time it won't be as easy as today."

"Alright, I agree to this matter," Lu Yao responded.

Shen Ze nodded, gave Lu Yao a deep look, and said: "Senior sister, the Sword Sect has already fallen, and the former rules can no longer bind us."

Having left these words, Shen Ze plunged into the swarm of corpses.

Subsequently, the swarm of corpses retreated back to the Ten Thousand Corpses Mountain, the shadowy swarm completely vanished, and light shone down once more.

Chu Nan let out a secret sigh of relief upon seeing this; if these old monsters truly started to fight recklessly, a hundred lives wouldn't be enough.

Yet at this moment, Lu Yao said: "Shen Ze and the others won't give up easily; this time, they chose to leave because they have just awakened and their powers haven't yet recovered."

"But once they come out again, you'll be in danger."

Chu Nan nodded silently and said: "Senior, rest assured, I will strive to become stronger as soon as possible, ensuring that even if they come out again, it will be useless."

Lu Yao stared at the direction of Ten Thousand Corpses Mountain, contemplating for a long time before saying: "Chu Nan, although Shen Ze and the others have retreated into Ten Thousand Corpses Mountain, I worry about them coveting the Saintess's tomb."

"I will later return to the Ten Thousand Corpses Mountain to guard the Saintess's tomb chamber, strengthen the defenses before coming back for you."

"In the coming months, you can only rely on yourself."

Chu Nan fell silent for a while, but ultimately nodded, accepting it.

Despite Lu Yao's strength, it is impossible for him to always rely on this woman.

The pinnacle of the Martial Artist's path is ultimately carved out by one's own hands!

At this moment, upon seeing the retreat of the corpse swarm, the disciples of the Spirit Corpse Sect burst into joyous cheers.

Everyone looked at Chu Nan with eyes filled with admiration. The corpse swarm, which the entire sect could not deal with, was repelled by Chu Nan without him drawing a sword.

Such an achievement—ask who in the Spirit Corpse Sect could do so.

Chu Lingshan came beside Chu Nan, giving Lu Yao a deep look. Given his insight, he naturally knew that Chu Nan was able to repel the corpse swarm due to this spirit corpse.

"Chu Nan, as previously stated, from now on you are the new Young Sect Leader of the Spirit Corpse Sect!"

Chu Nan hesitated slightly, then said: "Sect Leader, I can take on the role of Young Sect Leader, but regarding my identity."

He is not a native of Liangshan Province and has only entered the sect for five days; if this matter is pursued, it will be quite troublesome.

However, Chu Lingshan laughed and said: "Chu Nan, I have already investigated your identity in recent days."

"You are a true disciple of Cyan Mountain Sword Sect in Qingxuan Province, a disciple of Cyan Profound Martial Academy, who entered Cyan Profound Secret Realm and went missing due to the collapse of the realm."

"And yet you ended up in Liangshan Province; I wonder if what I'm saying is correct."

Chu Nan stood dumbfounded, Chu Lingshan is indeed a strong figure in Cloud Sea Realm, having gathered this information so quickly.

Since the other party does not care, Chu Nan smiled and said: "The Sect Leader's hands and eyes reach the heavens, your disciple is impressed."

"Since that is the case, this disciple thanks the Sect Leader!"

In Celestial Crossing Realm, Spirit Corpse Sect counts as a significant force; being their Young Sect Leader is not a bad choice, serving as a very strong backing.

Chu Lingshan was extremely satisfied with this, calling out to everyone below: "Disciples and elders of Spirit Corpse Sect, greet the Young Sect Leader!"

As these words fell, thousands of Spirit Corpse Sect disciples bowed respectfully to Chu Nan, without the slightest reluctance, wholeheartedly calling out: "Greet the Young Sect Leader!"

The sound echoed through the skies, resonating within Spirit Corpse Sect for a long time.

Watching as all those below bowed in unison, Chu Nan couldn't help but feel his heart surge.

With Spirit Corpse Sect as his backing, he finally found his footing.

Afterward, Chu Nan said: "Sect Leader, the corpse swarm wants us to relocate Spirit Corpse Sect outside the vicinity of the Ten Thousand Corpses Mountain, and disciples cannot go up the mountain, or else they will retaliate."

Yet, Chu Lingshan calmly said: "With the perpetual threat of the corpse swarm's riot, even if they hadn't said it, I would have relocated Spirit Corpse Sect away from here."

"This matter is not difficult; Liangshan Province is vast, and the sect controls areas besides Ten Thousand Corpses Mountain."

"It won't take three months to complete the relocation."

Chu Nan secretly relaxed; he was indeed worried that Chu Lingshan wouldn't want to part with this place, refusing to move.

Yet, after this turmoil, the strength of Spirit Corpse Sect might be greatly weakened, as they had once relied on Ten Thousand Corpses Mountain for a steady supply of materials for corpse refinement.

Now without Ten Thousand Corpses Mountain as a material source, Spirit Corpse Sect's future situation will be difficult.

Chu Nan plans to gradually grow stronger, guiding Spirit Corpse Sect to adapt its cultivation approach, moving away from corpse refinement as the main enhancement mode.

...

After the corpse swarm retreated, Spirit Corpse Sect disciples first repaired the damaged temple buildings and treated the injured martial artists.

Chu Nan did not leave directly as initially planned but participated in the ceremony of succeeding as Young Sect Leader under the host of Chu Lingshan.

Meanwhile, Chu Nan stabilized his cultivation completely; Lu Yao also returned to Ten Thousand Corpses Mountain to guard Saintess Jiang Ling's tomb.

During this time, the greatest harvest was that Chu Nan, leveraging his status as Young Sect Leader, obtained many primordial stones from Spirit Corpse Sect.

Chu Nan threw all the primordial stones into the puppet body in one fell swoop, watching these puppets gradually heal, he couldn't help but show a look of anticipation.

With the primordial stones gathered, it's merely a matter of time.

After completing all this, Chu Nan finally chose to leave Spirit Corpse Sect and return to Cyan Profound Mansion.

Finding Chu Lingshan, Chu Nan said: "Sect Leader, the disciple plans to return to Cyan Profound Mansion."

Chu Lingshan, sitting high in the grand hall, was unsurprised by Chu Nan's words, maintaining the usual composure, saying: "Are you finally planning to leave?"

Chu Nan nodded.

Seeing this, Chu Lingshan showed a trace of solemnity, saying: "You must be careful on this journey; try not to attract attention."

Feeling a shiver in his heart, Chu Nan sensed something had happened, so he urgently asked: "What has happened in Cyan Profound Mansion?"

Chu Lingshan said: "The disciples I sent to Cyan Profound Mansion to investigate your information, sent me a message yesterday stating that many martial artists from the Imperial Capital have descended upon Cyan Profound Mansion."

"There are strong families such as the Huo family and the Zhou family, among others, some second-tier martial arts families have gathered, occupying Cyan Profound Mansion."

Upon hearing this, Chu Nan immediately worriedly asked: "How is the situation of Cyan Profound Mansion's Mansion Master and the Lin family?"

At the Cyan Profound Secret Realm previously, he nearly killed Huo Lingjun of the Huo family, now that the Huo family is in Cyan Profound Mansion, unable to find him, they might retaliate against the Lin family.

Chu Lingshan shook his head and said: "I only know this much; after the strong families of Imperial Capital occupied Cyan Profound Mansion, news stopped coming this way."

Chu Nan silently clenched his fist, filled with a sense of foreboding.

But at this moment, Chu Lingshan spoke earnestly: "When you return to Cyan Profound Mansion, you must help me keep an eye on the Zhou family."

"Zhou family?" Chu Nan asked puzzled.

Chu Lingshan did not answer directly, instead responding: "Do you know why I sought the Yin Evil Spirit Pearl at the Ten Thousand Corpses Mountain back then?"
