Following the Three Great Corpse Kings into the hall, everyone finally saw Elder Jiang.

There he was, sitting far away, surrounded by flowers.

Sect Leader Yuan Zhen was first stunned, then completely speechless.

It seemed he was using the floral scent to cover up the corpse stench!

Could he have done it any more obviously?

This was simply an insult to the others!

Besides, the three of them actually didn't smell bad at all, possibly because they had reached the Immortal King Level, radiating a faint fragrance instead.

Under the tense atmosphere, the Three Great Corpse Kings suddenly changed their previously lifeless demeanor.

They rushed forward several steps, then bowed deeply.

"Sect Leader Jiang!"

"It truly is you!"

"We've come to see you!"

The hall was in an uproar.

What the hell, not only were the three of them not angered, but they were also paying respects to the founder?

Previously, when hearing that the four masters, Jiyun and Xiao Kun Shali, knelt before the ancestor, they were shocked, but never truly felt it without seeing it firsthand.

And now seeing the legendary Three Great Corpse Kings behaving in such a way, their perceptions were shattered.

Could these three also have been his subordinates?

Not old acquaintances or enemies seeking revenge, but his subordinates?

This was truly unbelievable!

Brother Cheng sniffed carefully; indeed, there was no stench.

With due respect already shown, he smiled and flew over to help the three up.

"Haha, long time no see."

"How did you come looking for me?"

Zhan Yan quickly responded, "We heard news of you, knew that Jiyun and Xiao Kun Shali had already paid their respects, so we guessed it must be you, returning to the world."

Yin Sha also chimed in swiftly, "Your healing took so long that we almost thought you wouldn't return…"

"Over the years, we have secretly explored many Immortal Tombs, hoping to resurrect you and have you lead us once more!"

No matter their internal emotional turmoil, their outward expressions were indifferent.

But just from these few words, Sect Leader Yuan Zhen and Yuan Sheng had grasped many things.

These were not just subordinates, but loyal death warriors!

To be able to see the ancestor, they'd been making efforts behind the scenes all this time.

Such dedication even touched them.

Brother Cheng thought to himself, you're underestimating me.

And resurrecting me as a corpse puppet, forget it.

"How have the years gone, where have the others gone?"

"We haven't been in touch with others, but few remain in the Middle Immortal Realm."

Zhan Yan said, "Now with your comeback, we have a leader again, and we can safely expand around, even march to the Upper Immortal Realm!"

Though the tone was calm, the words caused cold sweats among the hall elders.

No way, the Corpse Race plans to expand?

That would mean carnage!

And they intended to have the ancestor as their leader?

"Stop, stop!"

Brother Cheng hurriedly waved his hand, "You're mistaken; when did I say I'd lead you?"

"Such nonsense, you'd better be peaceful!"

He preferred lively people, not to be surrounded by the Corpse Race.

Sect Leader Yuan Zhen and Yuan Sheng sighed in relief.

Luckily, the ancestor was a normal person, not a psychopath.

The Three Great Corpse Kings still wanted to persist: "If the Corpse Race grows, we'll have a chance to challenge those enemies in the future."

"They tried many times to destroy us; don't you want revenge?"

"We've been gathering power over the years, waiting for you to lead us to conquer the Immortal Realm…"

"Enough, enough!"

Brother Cheng interrupted them again.

Others might not understand, but he knew the three referred to the Immortal Emperors and Demon Emperors of the Upper Immortal Realm.

Back then, with the Fake Immortal Realm, Nine Treasures Extinction Array, True Immortal provocations, and Nine Flames Immortal Emperor stepping in.

It was indeed a sea of blood feud!

However…

Brother Cheng didn't care much since he'd been killed more than once, and each time he could easily overcome it, he was used to it.

Immortal Emperors and Demon Emperors were not worth obsessing over daily.

He'd deal with it if he got up there.

"Such matters don't call for you, I'll personally handle it someday."

The Three Great Corpse Kings exchanged looks and nodded.

"We'll follow your lead."

"Can we follow you, continue fighting by your side?"

Though they appeared wooden, they were shrewd.

Following Sect Leader Jiang, getting carried along; they understood that logic.

The elders of Feixian Sect were excited!

They wanted to follow the ancestor?

Many elders envisioned the future, feeling excited at heart.

The joining of the three Corpse Kings, along with their vast army of corpse puppets and guards!

This was not a mere alliance but a willingness to follow as subordinates, without conditions...

Who would dare provoke Feixian Sect in the future?

But then, they heard Brother Cheng say: "That depends on your performance."

What?

The Three Corpse Kings' willingness to follow, something dreams couldn't even wish for, was politely rejected?

Elders couldn't sit still.

"Ancestor, this…"

"Is that too…?"

They wanted to say, isn't this stance a bit too high?

Even disdaining Immortal Kings?

What if the three Corpse Kings get angry after rejection…

"We'll behave well." The Three Corpse Kings said in unison.

Wow, how obedient!

The elders were thoroughly impressed.

To the ancestor, the terrifying Corpse Kings behaved like entry-level disciples.

They didn't know what happened back then, just thought it was unbelievable, couldn't fathom why these three acted this way.

Even facing an Immortal Emperor, they wouldn't react like this, right?

Brother Cheng was dissatisfied.

This was seriously off-track.

He could only hint directly: "I heard you destroyed many sects over the years; gains should be plenty, right?"

Other things aside, because the Corpse Race's cultivation system was quite different, most Immortal Pills were toxic to them.

And their weapons were special Dharma Artifacts; normal Immortal Artifacts weren't needed.

Keeping them would be moldy.

So they could hand them over to Sect Leader Jiang!

Sect Leader Yuan Zhen and Yuan Shu nearly spat blood.

Others feared avoiding them, and yet, you're trying to take advantage of them? Asking them for things?

That's seriously bold!

The Three Great Corpse Kings suddenly realized and nodded.

"We have, we have!"

"See how forgetful we are."

Then, the three directly reached out to the void, and after a swirl of space, piles of gleaming Immortal Artifacts and various bottles appeared in the hall.

Everyone was breathless because among them were not only many Tier Six Immortal Artifacts but even a few Tier Seven ones!

Riches!

Brother Cheng was overjoyed, in a flash he swept all the items into his rings.

"Not bad, not bad, your performance is better than Jiyun and Xiao Kun."

Receiving such praise, the Three Great Corpse Kings felt both joy and pride.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became cheerful.
