Zhi Tianping also nodded quickly, looking very anxious.

The martial artist squads all revealed their spirit weapons, vigilantly staring at Chu Nan and Zhi Tianping.

The head at the seventh level of the Divine Illumination Realm, upon discovering that they were only at the fifth level, immediately relaxed and said, "Are you also here to join the martial artists attacking the Spirit Corpse Sect for the bounty?"

Chu Nan and Zhi Tianping exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

The Spirit Corpse Sect has actually been offered a bounty?

Chu Nan looked confused and stepped forward to the martial artist at the seventh level, saying, "Attacking the Spirit Corpse Sect? Isn't the Spirit Corpse Sect located at the Ten Thousand Corpse Mountain? What happened here?"

Zhi Tianping also chimed in from the side, "We are not martial artists from the Liangshan Province, just wandering here. We saw the strange Corpse Bone Mountain Range from afar, so we wanted to seek some opportunity."

The martial artist scrutinized Chu Nan and Zhi Tianping, not sensing the aura of corpses from them, so he relaxed and said, "Since you are not martial artists from the Liangshan Province, it's normal not to know."

"Let me introduce myself first, I am Feng Wuxiang, an Inner Sect Disciple of the Infinite Sword Sect in the Jianlan Province. Who are you?" Feng Wuxiang inquired.

Hearing the name, Chu Nan was somewhat surprised.

A few months ago, in the Heaven-Shaking Secret Realm, he clashed noticeably with the Infinite Sword Sect while vying for opportunities.

The Young Sect Leader of the Infinite Sword Sect, Feng Wujin, and Elder Feng Yizhan both died at his hands.

Now, returning to the Spirit Corpse Sect, he unexpectedly encountered people from the Infinite Sword Sect again, and these individuals were already poised to attack the Spirit Corpse Sect!

"Loose cultivator, Wang Nan!" Chu Nan made up a name.

Zhi Tianping also quickly echoed, "Loose cultivator, Wang Ping."

Feng Wuxiang looked at Chu Nan and Zhi Tianping with some skepticism, but didn't delve deeper since gathering sufficient vital force to attack the Spirit Corpse Sect was the priority.

So Feng Wuxiang said, "So it's Daoists Wang Nan and Wang Ping. Would you join us in attacking the scum, the Spirit Corpse Sect?"

Chu Nan displayed confusion, saying, "The Spirit Corpse Sect is one of the top sects in the Qin Kingdom. Is it not a bit arrogant for us alone to think we can attack the Spirit Corpse Sect?"

"Moreover, is there any benefit to attacking the Spirit Corpse Sect?"

Feng Wuxiang didn't find Chu Nan's doubts surprising, instead finding it reasonable.

Thus, Feng Wuxiang said, "Rest assured, Daoists, the forces attacking the Spirit Corpse Sect are not just us!"

"Besides our Infinite Sword Sect from the Jianlan Province, there are also the Wuling Pavilion in Langya Province, Medicine King Valley in Jin Chuan Province, Qixia Zijin Garden in Purple Maple Province..."

Feng Wuxiang rattled off seven or eight sect names, and the more Chu Nan listened, the more shocked he became.

All the well-known major sects in the Qin Kingdom, second only to the strong races and the royal family, were virtually all here.

The fact that so many sects were targeting the Spirit Corpse Sect seemed inconceivable.

So, Chu Nan furrowed his brows and said, "With so many forces allied, indeed there's no problem with those of the Spirit Corpse Sect, but does the Spirit Corpse Sect have enough resources to satisfy so many sects?"

"If the two of us follow you, how much benefit can we gain?"

Chu Nan wanted to know the reason these forces were attacking the Spirit Corpse Sect but didn't want to ask directly, so he probed through questioning the distribution of benefits.

"Hahaha, don't worry, Daoists, the benefits will surely satisfy you!" Feng Wuxiang said, patting his chest. "That Spirit Corpse Sect occupies the Heaven-Shaking Secret Realm in Qingxuan Province alone, obtaining countless treasures from the secret realm, and the entire Corpse Bone Mountain Range is like a gold mine."

"As long as we can break through the Spirit Corpse Sect, the benefits inside will surely satisfy you."

Chu Nan and Zhi Tianping did not answer but looked at each other, frowning slightly.

They both understood that a part of the reason the major sects were jointly attacking the Spirit Corpse Sect was because the Spirit Corpse Sect had occupied the Heaven-Shaking Secret Realm for a while.

These forces envied the quick growth of the Spirit Corpse Sect.

So they took the opportunity to jointly eliminate the Spirit Corpse Sect and reclaim the opportunities before it could be fully utilized!

Seeing them still hesitating, Feng Wuxiang added fuel to the fire, "Our alliance of several sects has already posted the bounty throughout five to six provincial capitals, including Liangshan Province."

"Hundreds of martial artists join the attack on the Spirit Corpse Sect daily; if you join late, you'll miss out on everything..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Nan appeared slightly eager, as if fearing to miss the opportunity, and decisively said, "Since Daoists so generously invite us, it's better to comply than to refuse!"

Seeing that Chu Nan and Zhi Tianping agreed, Feng Wuxiang burst into laughter, "Good, good, good, you will soon see how correct this decision is."

"Then please join the team, and I'll bring you to meet the base elder."

Chu Nan and Zhi Tianping cooperated well, following Feng Wuxiang's team, intentionally or unintentionally engaging in conversations together to gather some information and understand the current situation of the Spirit Corpse Sect.

Chu Nan quickly discovered that all major sects recruited many martial artists from other provinces; for instance, half of Feng Wuxiang's squad were not disciples of the Infinite Sword Sect.

The situation of the Spirit Corpse Sect was not promising; though the allied major sects hadn't gained much advantage, they heavily damaged numerous powerful spirit corpses and disciples.

With more martial artists recruited by the major sects, the situation for the Spirit Corpse Sect would become increasingly dangerous.

More importantly, Chu Nan vaguely felt that this matter could not be privately decided by the major sects alone.

To enable the major sects to join forces in such an organized manner to attack the Spirit Corpse Sect, there must be a more formidable force or martial artist behind this.

The one lurking behind and planning everything secretly was whom Chu Nan feared.

Otherwise, with these few sects that didn't even have cultivators of the ninth level, Chu Nan and Zhi Tianping could handle them; there would be no need to hide their identities and join in.

Following Feng Wuxiang, Chu Nan quickly arrived at their base.

This base was situated on a high ground in the Corpse Bone Mountain Range, overlooking the positions of several surrounding bases, and looking up, the magnificent yet heavily fortified Spirit Corpse Sect could be seen.

The bases set outside the Spirit Corpse Sect were intricate and dense, forming layers of defenses, so even a fly couldn't escape if they wished!

Once inside the base, Chu Nan quickly assessed his surroundings and understood this base entirely.

This base was situated on the second layer, a relatively safe location, with a Cloud Sea Realm cultivator from the Infinite Sword Sect staunchly defending it.

Inside the base, apart from them, there were also a dozen disciples of the Infinite Sword Sect, with the remaining dozens enticed by the bounty message from various provincial martial artists.

Most were Yang Wheel; those at the Divine Illumination Realm like Chu Nan were very rare.

Faced with this distorted structure, Chu Nan immediately understood that the purpose of recruiting external martial artists was not to share in the opportunities obtained after breaking the Spirit Corpse Sect.

But to use them as cannon fodder to prevent large-scale casualties among the disciples of the major sects!

Pitifully, most martial artists were eagerly anticipating the opportunities they could gain by attacking the Spirit Corpse Sect, except Chu Nan, who remained indifferent, knowing these loose cultivators likely wouldn't survive.
