After putting in so much effort and creating such a grand spectacle, how could Ning Suwen explain a blunder to his subordinates or to the martial world? What credibility would he have left as the leader?
“Lin, I hope you can clarify this matter,” Ning Suwen said with a dark expression, his voice cold.
Lin Lingsu replied firmly, “This Wei Ning is definitely a part of the Wei Family, and he indeed has seven pieces of bone. I would stake my life on it.”
Xu Suwen nodded in agreement, “Wei Ning is indeed one of the Wei Family. This decision cannot be wrong.”
“Then why?”
Lin Lingsu and Xu Suwen shook their heads in unison.
“Where exactly did things go wrong?”
Li Xin suddenly interjected, “Didn’t Vice Chairman Lin take the opportunity to check if that guy was missing a piece of bone while being intimate with him just now?”
With a bang, Lin Lingsu raised his hand and fired a bullet that grazed Li Xin's scalp before embedding itself in a large tree behind him. Li Xin fumed, “You…”
“Better watch your mouth; my aim isn’t always this good,” Lin Lingsu replied coldly.
Li Xin hadn’t expected Lin Lingsu to be so bold as to fire a gun in front of Ning Suwen. With Ning Suwen present, Li Xin dared not retaliate and could only glare at him with resentment, saying through gritted teeth, “Vice Chairman Lin’s marksmanship is impressive; I’ve learned my lesson.”
“Enough,” Ning Suwen raised his hand and said, “We’ll deal with your matters later. Now, who can tell me where the Undying Bone is? Without the Undying Bone, what use is that guy?”
Lin Lingsu frowned and said, “Just now… Wei Ning emitted a peculiar glow. Did any of you see what happened?”
All the disciples shook their heads.
Ning Suwen shouted, “Get searching! Even if we have to level this mountain, we must find what I want.”
“What about that guy…” one of the vice directors cautiously approached and asked.
“What else can we do?” Ning Suwen sighed. “The situation has become critical; we can only push forward.”
“Su Lun. Is the Corpse Raising Ground you found reliable?”
A vice director stepped forward to respond, “I’ve personally inspected it; it’s a once-in-a-thousand-years Nine Yin Land, absolutely trustworthy.”
Ning Suwen glanced around and said, “This journey is fraught with uncertainty. I cannot predict what situations may arise in the future. However, I can tell you that while there are risks involved, if this succeeds, it will mark the day of revival for my Dragon-Tiger Lineage. Therefore, I need to select one of you to guard the Yin House for three years. Lin, among the second-generation disciples, you are the most suitable for this task.”
Lin Lingsu trembled slightly and replied, “I want to stay by Master’s side. Besides, I still have many unfinished tasks…”
Ning Suwen waved his hand to interrupt Lin Lingsu, saying, “Your responsibilities will be delegated to others. During your absence, Li Xin will temporarily take over your work. That’s settled.”
Lin Lingsu understood his temper and could only sigh inwardly.
“Xu Wen, I don’t care what methods you use or how much money you spend; you must find this Undying Bone within three years. If it exceeds that time frame, you’ll face me with your head!”
Xu Suwen shuddered and could only respond, “Understood.”
With a loud thud, a piece of flesh was ripped from Wei Ning's shoulder as he hung from a tree, blood dripping onto the ground. Wei Ning slowly lifted his head, his eyes red as blood.
With another thud, another piece of skin was torn away. Following that were several more sounds as large patches of skin were ripped from the hooks on Wei Ning's body. Suddenly, he fell from above.
The disciples of Dragon Tiger Mountain were alarmed and quickly surrounded Wei Ning.
Wei Ning stood up but seemed incredibly stiff. He raised his head; something horrifying had occurred. His face cracked like parched earth after years of scorching sun, and then pieces of skin began to fall away.
First his face, then his neck, followed by his chest, arms, thighs, and legs. The skin all over Wei Ning's body peeled off in chunks, staining him crimson with blood and dyeing the ground beneath him red.
The disciples of Dragon Tiger Mountain had never witnessed such a horrifying scene. One brave disciple could no longer contain himself and thrust his sword at Wei Ning.
Clang! The sword broke in half upon impact; with a crack sound, the disciple’s arm was forced back due to excessive force, exposing white bone from his elbow.
“What’s everyone panicking for?” Ning Suwen observed his disciples’ frantic expressions and said in a low voice, “He’s just a lifeless corpse right now; there’s nothing to fear!”
Ning Suwen formed hand seals and took out seven thunder-strike grave nails, inserting them into Wei Ning’s seven vital points. Then he pulled out a piece of black Yama Paper and affixed it to Wei Ning's forehead, commanding, “Bring me my Golden Cask!”
Several disciples were already prepared, lifting a large golden cask. Ning Suwen held it effortlessly in one hand, as if it were a mere sheet of paper. With a swift motion, he slammed the cask down onto Wei Ning's head. Then, he flipped the cask over and inscribed several talismans on top of it.
"Take it away," several disciples hurriedly stepped forward to carry the Golden Cask away.
"Xu, no matter what, you must find this Undying Bone for me. I have already invested too much in it; it absolutely cannot be lost!" Ning Suwen fixed his gaze on Xu Suwen, speaking each word with emphasis.
Under Ning Suwen's lead, the disciples began to retreat from the area, leaving only a portion behind to search for Wei Ning's missing Undying Bone. At the top of the mountain, on a tree branch, stood a figure holding a glowing red pearl.
"Nine Yin Land?" The person smirked slightly. "After years of searching without success for this prime necromantic ground, I can’t believe these fools found it. It seems that having more people really does make things easier."
Gently stroking the Red Pearl in his hand, he said, "Year after year, I toil for others' gain; Ningzi, I'll leave Wei Ning in your care for now. Treat him well and provide for him; I will return in three years to reclaim him. Thank you."
With a hearty laugh, the figure leaped away and vanished without a trace.
Wei Ning felt dizzy, as if everything around him was rushing by. In his eyes, everything spun and whirled.
Slowly, gradually, everything came to a halt, returning to stillness.
"Where is this? Where is this? Where is this???"
