I Am A Corpse Collector In The World Of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 100: Speculation

"What constitutes rebellion? The Holy Teacher is here to guard the Luck of Da Xia, not for the private use of your Wang Mansion. The construction of this royal tomb and purple garden by the An Wang Mansion is also for the suppression of Luck in Da Xia. As fellow members of Da Xia, the Holy Teacher's presence in the imperial tomb is to fulfill his duties and responsibilities.

Iron Mountain will join our imperial tomb guards, and everything is for the sake of Da Xia's Luck. Where does the accusation of being a white-eyed wolf come from? Princess, please do not casually label others with such a derogatory term and tarnish the reputation of the Holy Teacher."

Upon hearing the words of the imperial tomb guards, the princess laughed in anger. She snorted and said, "Oh? Since we are all members of Da Xia, when the Holy Teacher goes to the imperial tomb, it must be done according to the rules. Is there an imperial decree from the Emperor? Is there an official order? Is there a token from the guardian ancestor of the tomb? If they speak up, I will personally see the Holy Teacher off!"

The imperial tomb guard hesitated for a moment but still answered, "The guardian ancestor of the tomb has been in seclusion for many years and is the protector of Da Xia. How could they bother with such trivial matters? This decision was made jointly by the several Holy Teachers in the imperial tomb. Da Xia's Luck is flourishing, but it is difficult to suppress it with just a few Holy Teachers in the imperial tomb. The True Dragon Luck Formation often encounters problems, so we have come to the An Wang Mansion to borrow the Holy Teacher temporarily to alleviate the urgent situation. The Holy Teacher has already informed the Emperor, and an imperial decree will be issued soon."

"Then wait for the imperial decree to arrive before taking the Holy Teacher with you!"

"The Luck in the imperial tomb is too majestic, and this matter cannot be delayed any longer. If it weren't for the Holy Teacher's recent promotion, we would have prepared to visit the senior in the Wang Mansion's royal tomb."

"You speak so eloquently, but if this white-eyed wolf hadn't made a breakthrough, you wouldn't have shown up at all."

"Although you are a princess, the Holy Teacher must not be insulted," Iron Mountain said in a low voice.

"Oh?" The princess's gaze turned to Iron Mountain again, and she said coldly, "Today, not only will I insult him, but I will also kill him."

"Xiao Yue, stop arguing. Let them go. This is your father's intention," the old Holy Teacher in the royal tomb spoke again.

Upon hearing this, Princess Li Yue was instantly stunned. She clenched her fair fist tightly, feeling extremely unwilling.

How could this be?

"Hehe." The imperial tomb guard laughed, apparently having anticipated this.

"Just as a new Holy Teacher emerges in the purple garden, they have to go to the imperial tomb?"

Below, the Luck masters were somewhat disappointed.

Who didn't respect this Holy Teacher from the purple garden? They had always regarded him as a role model and a goal.

But now, just as he made a breakthrough, he had to leave, and in this manner. It made them feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Let's disperse. This matter has already been settled," Master Jinlin sighed.

"The breakthrough of a Holy Teacher is already a big event, and now he suddenly leaves, encountering such twists and turns along the way. I'm afraid the An Wang Mansion will not be peaceful."

"Not only that, the Holy Teacher is leaving without giving a proper reason, but instead, he is becoming enemies with the Wang Mansion. After this matter, the Holy Teacher's reputation will probably be ruined."

"The Holy Teacher is going to the capital to guard the imperial tomb. What does reputation matter? After several decades, who will remember this? They will only sing praises of his great achievements in suppressing Luck. If he gains the Emperor's favor and is allowed to cultivate Luck, he might even become another guardian ancestor."

The events in the purple garden not only shook the Wang Mansion but also spread throughout the entire city of powerful individuals.

The battle between peerless experts was truly shocking, and everyone had been paying attention from the beginning.

Now, seeing the Holy Teacher safely leaving with the imperial tomb guards, they all began to discuss.

"But what puzzles me is why the Holy Teacher is in such a hurry to leave. He just made a breakthrough, and there is already an escort from the imperial tomb guards. It must have been planned in advance, but it seems too rushed."

Promoting to the True Dragon level Luck Holy Teacher should have been a joyous occasion, but with this incident, it inevitably raised doubts in some people's minds.

The Holy Teacher's actions seemed too hasty.

"Yes, what surprised me even more is that An Wang is unexpectedly so magnanimous. The Holy Teacher, who was so hard to cultivate, and the peerless expert are leaving just like that, without any attempt to stop them. They even let them leave peacefully."

"The princess is quite domineering. If it weren't for An Wang's intervention, I'm afraid that person would have killed the Holy Teacher on the spot."

The breakthrough and departure of the Holy Teacher caused quite a stir, with countless powerful individuals discussing the matter.

And they are all speculating about what the departure of the Holy Teacher signifies.

Is it really just to gain a slight possibility of becoming the Patriarch of the Tomb, or is it something else?

Different from the discussions among the external powerhouses.

The Luck Masters of the Purple Garden, who are of the same origin as the Holy Teacher, all sighed and felt disappointed about his departure.

"The Holy Teacher has lived here for nearly a thousand years, but he left on the day of his promotion. Does he really have no feelings for the Purple Garden or the Wang Mansion?"

"Yes, I sought his advice before. He was so gentle and close. I never thought that deep down, he longed for the Imperial Tomb."

"Let's not discuss it anymore. The Holy Teacher's promotion was also to go to the Royal Tomb, and now he's just going even further, into the Imperial Tomb. It doesn't have much to do with us. Let's focus on preparing for tomorrow's debate competition. As the Great Master Zihè said, we, the Green Sparrows, will continue the unfinished debates."

The next day, the Purple Garden returned to its usual tranquility, and Chen Shen and others participated in the unfinished debate competition.

"Congratulations, you got ninth place." Zhang Ping congratulated Chen Shen.

"Congratulations to you too, for making it into the top fifty."

"..."

"The departure of the Holy Teacher definitely represents something. Either the Imperial Tomb promised irresistible benefits, or the An Mansion will cause some trouble that will affect the Purple Garden. When the peerless powerhouse Tieshan first came out, the guards of the Imperial Tomb also said it was for self-preservation, so it should be the latter."

Chen Shen sat in his own courtyard, pondering in his heart.

Moreover, the speculation about the chaos caused by the An Mansion reminded him of a conversation from decades ago, during a chase outside Lingxi City.

This made him somewhat certain that the An Mansion would definitely experience a major upheaval in the future!

"However, despite the commotion in the city, there hasn't been much action. The Purple Garden remains as usual. It's probably just a sign of some event. As for what it is, it's still unknown. There should be people in the garden who have guessed it, but they won't say it. Until the matter becomes the truth, it's all rumors. No one dares to speak recklessly, after all, it involves the Wang Mansion."

"It can't possibly be treason, right?" When he suddenly came up with this conclusion, Chen Shen was stunned for a moment.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Chen Shen, senior brother!"

Just as Chen Shen's thoughts were in turmoil, a voice came from outside the courtyard.

He pushed open the window and saw Zhao's servant standing outside.

"Senior brother, the Princess invites the Purple Garden for a banquet tonight. The Lord wants you to go with him." The servant shouted loudly.

"Okay!" Chen Shen replied.

"The Princess's invitation is probably because of the Holy Teacher's departure. She must want to reprimand us."

He guessed vaguely.

In the evening, the Wang Mansion was brightly lit, with a grand feast set up.

As Chen Shen had guessed, the Princess appeared polite and generously invited them to dinner, but it was actually a reprimand.

Under the pretext of guarding the Purple Garden, she added six more True Void Returners to the Purple Garden, including the Heavenly Venerable Li Wu.

"You are bringing in powerhouses to the Purple Garden. Aren't you afraid of being betrayed by one of them, just like the Holy Teacher's subordinates?"

Chen Shen thought to himself.

It would be interesting if another Heavenly Venerable was persuaded by a powerful Luck Master in the Purple Garden and left.

And one more thing, a little later,
