Chapter 854 453
This was the second day since Wei Wuxing, the Rat Phase, had died, and not many people knew of his death.
Even the Bloodthirsty Storyteller, who occasionally came looking for material, seemed unaware of his death, only knowing that something had happened at Duan Yun's riverside. Thus, rumors spread in the Martial World about Old Demon Duan's misconduct, Old Demon Duan lining his own pockets, and Old Demon Duan crafting a shoddy canal, yet no one mentioned Wei Wuxing's death.
To be honest, Wei Wuxing was a renowned figure in the Martial World, having emerged from the Underground Martial World after many years, he should have become a popular figure in the world easily.
But he made a rather unwise choice.
Perhaps having pursued 'enjoyment' all his life, or perhaps believing he was invincible after emerging from the tomb, feeling impossible to lose, he dared to plan a challenge against Mingyu Palace. Thus, he sought out Old Demon Duan.
In Wei Wuxing's plan, this was meant to be a training session for his challenge against Mingyu Palace, yet he inadvertently trained himself to death.
He died silently, leaving no sound behind.
Such a death for a master is truly suffocating.
Indeed, for a big figure in the Martial Arts World, even in death, who wouldn't want to die heroically?
Just like the female knights of Huangshan Sword Sect, particularly the Sect Leader's Wife and her daughter, their stories of urinating on the Golden Sword are passed down in numerous versions across the world.
But Wei Wuxing did not receive such treatment.
Since he had disappeared for so many years, and upon returning, died so silently, one could say he didn't even make the sound of a firework, just vanished.
The accident at the canal was quickly remedied, surprisingly, Young Hero Duan discovered a secret treasure, and over the past two days, gold and silver were continuously transported from the tomb to Yuzhu Manor.
This made those who were jealous of Duan Yun's group red-eyed.
Old Demon Duan has struck it rich again!
Who has Old Demon Duan plundered again!
The last innocent victim was the Gu Family, who is it this time?
With Old Demon Duan's demonic ways, this blinding pile of silver will be distributed to the poor, truly sinful!
Yes, these people stayed around Wangchun City not because they liked the place, rather out of hatred.
Many who fell from grace due to Duan Yun, unable to kill or disgrace him, choose to sleep on the streets, blaming everything on him. Besides being 'Heroic Villains' for some factions, they inherently wish to witness Old Demon Duan's defeat, decline, even death firsthand!
Nothing is more satisfying than watching the downfall of someone they despise.
Unfortunately, for over six months, since Old Demon Duan occupied Wangchun City, instead of declining, he flourished.
This made those 'Heroic Villains' quite miserable, so miserable that some lost their resolve and even committed suicide by hanging.
No choice, the more Old Demon Duan prospered, the more it was like watching his wife get played by someone else, both his wife and the other party getting happier, more excited, it's unbearable.
However, while transporting the treasures from the tomb, an oddity occurred.
The alien king's corpse wasn't burned on-site but meant to be taken out for research, as Duan Yun and Mo Sect Elder Li Dakan deemed the 'alien' body unique, worth studying, and possibly usable for medicinal purposes, perhaps creating an alien medicine woman.
Yet after the corpse was moved to the Hero Medical Workshop's mortuary, Duan Yun and Li Dakan barely opened its belly for research when, during their meal break, the corpse disappeared.
Their first reaction was a corpse theft.
After all, the Martial World lacks no characters, even the realms for stealing and trading erotic corpses could form sects and still earn big.
But immediately Duan Yun felt something amiss, what kind of figure could steal a corpse under his nose on his territory?
This person waited specifically for him to bring it back to steal?
Duan Yun couldn't help but feel something absurd, saying, "I have a feeling that corpse ran off by itself."
With the research subject gone, Li Dakan was jumping in anxiety, quickly dispatching people to find it.
Soon, Leng Yimeng and Leng Yixue came to help, only to lose its track after a pursuit along a canyon.
Hence, the disappearance of the corpse became an unsolved mystery.
"What a pity, what a pity!"
Li Dakan held onto a strip of belly meat cut from the alien's corpse, rubbing it against his face, while lamenting aloud.
Though Duan Yun felt it was a pity, he also thought Li Dakan seemed deranged, making it appear as if he had fallen in love with the corpse, so he left.
Overall, the matter stirred up by Wei Wuxing had also reached a satisfactory closure.
Duan Yun gained a lot, besides the invaluable map of the Underground Martial World, another notable acquisition was the black gold ancient sword.
This ancient sword is indeed mystical, as if a soul resides within.
A soul that loves to sing.
He tried infusing True Qi into the sword, and upon drawing it, waves of song would appear.
The songs were sometimes uplifting, sometimes melancholic, sometimes domineering, all influencing a person's mind.
The songs inflicted much suffering upon the Jade Pearl Heroes.
For instance, one early morning the Murong brothers were sleeping and suddenly got woken by a burst of song, or while defecating, the Murong brothers were startled, clamping their poop due to the unanticipated song...
In short, during this period, Duan Yun kept exploring the uses of the black gold ancient sword.
Of course, the Jade Pearl Heroes are known for rewarding and punishing distinctly, and this time, Big White led the group named the Woof Woof Squad to major achievements.
Thus, Little Yin and Lei Ying from the Woof Woof Squad had their status elevated significantly.
