Chapter 22 Black Sheep Sect, includes Tier 2 Corpse Puppet
The Black Sheep Demon Sect by the Blackwater.
Between the towering peaks on both sides, there are thick iron chains thousands of feet long, and many of these chains extend out and hang down into the Blackwater River below.
This river and the Black Fiend River of the Corpse Refining Sect both originate from the same place.
The malevolent energy in the river was continuously drawn away by the array on the iron chains and fed back to the demonic peaks on both sides of the river, making the malevolent energy on the demonic peaks extremely dense.
At this moment, deep within the Demon Sect.
"Junior brother, that old devil Qian from the Corpse Refining Sect has made a move against the demon cultivators in Wushan."
"If they manage to create enough demon puppets and use them against our Black Sheep Sect, wouldn't that be terrible?"
Inside an ancient and simple hall, a black, malevolent wind swept in, revealing a skeleton clad in a black robe. Within the hollow skull were a pair of floating dark red soul flames, and an aged, anxious voice emanated from within the skull.
The words were spoken.
On the large white bone lotus platform in the main hall, a middle-aged man dressed in purple robes with a pale face, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes. This man was Zhao Kongze, a Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator from the Black Sheep Sect.
"I knew that old devil Qian would make a move."
"He deliberately allowed those demon cultivators in Wushan to run rampant, so it's only natural that he's reaping their rewards now."
"Senior brother, where did you get this information?"
Zhao Kongze flew up and landed in front of the White Bone Immortal, asking with great curiosity.
"It was the old ape from Green Ape Mountain who sent the message personally. Look, there is still the magical imprint left by the old ape on this communication jade slip."
"That old ape took the initiative to deliver the message to us, wanting us to take this opportunity to attack the territory of the Corpse Refining Sect, the more ruthless the better. Moreover, the old ape will also take action to stop the Corpse Refining Sect from harvesting the demon cultivators of Wushan."
"You're capable of handling this, don't you think, junior brother?"
The White Bone Immortal, with a skull on his head, asked.
"Yuan Xiudao!?"
"When did that old ape change its personality?"
"The Corpse Refining Sect has also harvested demon cultivators from Wushan before, but they didn't come forward to send us messages. Now they've suddenly appeared; isn't there something strange going on?!"
A look of doubt appeared in Zhao Kongze's eyes.
"No rush."
"Send the birds and spirit beasts of the sect to investigate Mount Wu."
"Once this information is confirmed to be true, we will take action against the Corpse Refining Sect."
"On the surface, our target is the spirit stone mine, but our main objective is to target Bai Feng City of the Corpse Refining Sect. Senior Brother, your Hundred Ghost Banner can finally get a good boost this time."
A smile flashed in Zhao Kongze's eyes, and then he looked up at his senior brother, White Bone, in front of him.
My senior brother, decades ago, suffered a backlash from cultivating a demonic body-refining technique and was transformed into this skeletal form.
However, this senior brother also turned misfortune into blessing. From then on, he became extremely compatible with Yin-attribute techniques, and within thirty or forty years he had mastered two second-tier low-level Yin-attribute techniques.
In terms of combat skills, he is much stronger than him.
However, his lifespan was not extended by the slightest; on the contrary, it was somewhat reduced.
However, no matter what, he will definitely live longer than that old devil Qian from the Corpse Refining Sect.
"I'll do whatever my junior brother says."
Master Baigu nodded, thinking the plan was feasible. Bai Fengcheng was the source of spiritual roots for the Corpse Refining Sect, making it extremely important to them.
His junior brother possessed the Black Sheep Sect's most prized magical artifact. With the artifact's assistance, his combat strength far surpassed that of his own.
Master Baigu usually makes suggestions, but the final decision is made by his junior brother Kongze.
...
...
Qingyuan Mountain.
Inside the thatched-roof courtyard.
Lin Li, inside the side room, felt somewhat worried about Fox Mountain.
The next moment, he felt an extremely powerful fluctuation of magical energy outside the house. The residual power of the energy was as if several huge rocks were pressing down on him.
This is the fluctuation of magical power from a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Then, this surge of magical power vanished into thin air.
Lin Li hurriedly walked out of the side room and saw a huge dark green vine ball in the courtyard. A corner of the vine ball was exposed, revealing the head of a corpse puppet with green scales and bull horns.
Standing before the rattan ball was Yuan Xiudao, dressed in a white robe.
"Liu Ya, come forward and take a look."
"This is the natal corpse puppet of the Corpse Refining Sect's Old Demon Qian, Qinglin."
"It can barely be considered a second-tier low-grade corpse puppet. Among early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, it is the weakest. I discovered this corpse puppet lurking outside the mountain and captured it. Although I don't know how this corpse puppet was refined, sealing it will be fine."
"Whether it's seeking a way to refine it in the future or trading with the Corpse Refining Sect, it would be a good option."
Yuan Xiudao looked at Lin Li with a gentle expression and beckoned him over.
"Second-tier corpse puppet!"
"really…"
Having witnessed this scene, Lin Li already had a general idea in his mind.
As expected, it really was a second-tier corpse puppet.
If we could absorb the bloodline of this corpse puppet, it would definitely be a significant source of nourishment.
"Senior Yuan, this is the first time I've seen a second-tier corpse puppet. I would like to obtain a scale from it to see the difference between a second-tier and a first-tier corpse puppet. Please grant my request."
Lin Li was a man of action.
We are determined to acquire the bloodline of this second-tier corpse puppet.
"You little rascal, you've got a lot on your mind."
Giving you a few pieces is just a piece of cake.
"However, I've easily refined the baleful aura on these scales for you. With your current cultivation level, being tainted by the baleful aura of a second-tier corpse puppet could potentially damage your very foundation."
After Yuan Xiudao finished speaking, the green-scaled corpse puppet looked pained and a vine branched off from the vine ball. The tip of the vine held three rhomboid green scales, each no bigger than a melon seed.
The scales were also enveloped in a faint, dark green aura of blood.
"Thank you so much, senior!"
Lin Li accepted the scales and thanked him respectfully.
At the same time, it extracted a wisp of pure blood energy and refined it into its body.
[Inclusion successful]
[Second-tier lower-grade bloodline, Azure Scale Demon Corpse Puppet (fragmented)!]
'No wonder it's the weakest among those in the early Foundation Establishment stage; this second-tier corpse puppet is even incomplete.'
Lin Li saw the collected information and a sense of understanding dawned on him.
The next moment, a projection of a corpse puppet appeared on the Reincarnation Disc. It had green scales all over its body, bull horns on its head, and a monkey tail.
As soon as the aura of the corpse puppet projection appeared, it was pushed to the side by the projection of the Spirit-Nourishing Wood Heart Ape, which still firmly occupied the center position of the Reincarnation Disc.
"Senior, the Corpse Refining Sect has even sent out these second-tier corpse puppets. I'm afraid that Grandma Hu and the others on Fox Mountain won't be able to withstand the attack of those Corpse Refining Sect demonic cultivators."
Lin Li said with some concern.
Yuan Xiudao looked at Lin Li beside him and was quite satisfied with his performance.
"rest assured."
"I have already learned from this corpse puppet that no Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators have come out of the mountain this time."
"Moreover, this time I will certainly not stand idly by."
"How dare these demonic brats run rampant on our Wushan spiritual cultivation grounds!"
Yuan Xiudao flicked his sleeve and said in a sharp tone.
At this moment, once he receives news that the Black Sheep Sect cultivators have made a move, he will immediately leave the mountain.
This image must be firmly established in Xiao Liuya's mind. The favor of resolving the Fox Mountain issue this time is considerable. In the future, after Xiao Liuya advances to the Foundation Establishment stage, he can also be entrusted with taking care of the Green Ape Mountain.
