Master, you go first!

Hearing Gu Jiu say this, the female cultivator puppet frowned.

She didn't expect that Gu Jiu could even recognize that she was a puppet.

"Then you can all stay here and be my corpse puppets."

The voice of the female cultivator puppet sounded again, and she controlled the three corpse puppets to launch an attack.

These corpse puppets have completely lost their physical perception and only know how to execute the commands issued by the female cultivator puppet.

But he can use his previous skills and magical techniques.

At that moment, the three corpse puppets used their spiritual skills at the same time and came towards the five people.

The water- and earth-based spiritual skills were so powerful that the sand and rocks on the cliff were immediately swept up and attacked along with the spiritual skills.

There was also a sharp sword energy following behind. One of the corpse puppets was a sword cultivator. After sending out the sword energy, he moved forward and prepared for close combat.

Seeing this, Mu Zhou activated his defensive weapon to resist, while Su Jin used a flaming sword to slash at it.

Gu Jiu and his companions were behind Mu Zhou's defensive magic weapon and were not attacked by any spiritual skills.

However, Gu Jiu's attention was always on the female cultivator puppet controlling the corpse puppet in the back.

The most terrifying things are not these corpse puppets, but the female cultivator puppets that possess soul power. Others may not know this, but Gu Jiu knows it clearly.

The corpse puppet that was fighting against Su Jin was obviously not as strong as Su Jin. After just three or two moves, Su Jin cut off one of its arms.

However, he continued to fight with a numb expression, as if he would not stop attacking as long as the hand holding the sword was still there.

Seeing this, Gu Jiu started to move. During the short period of time when the battle just started, he had been thinking about countermeasures. These corpse puppets would be very difficult to deal with.

Even if his limbs were cut off, the loss of his combat effectiveness was not very great. What was even more puzzling was that, under the control of the female cultivator's puppet, the broken arm moved back to the sword cultivator's corpse puppet, and it was obvious that it would be reconnected soon.

So the countermeasure that Gu Jiu thought of was to use a trap formation. As long as the three corpse puppets were trapped, the remaining female cultivator puppet would be much easier to deal with.

And the best trapping array was the combination of an illusion array and a space array that he created when he was in Linhu Town.

"Please hold on for a moment. I need some time."

Gu Jiu briefly reminded a few people and then took out his formation materials from the storage ring.

For the time being, he is unable to complete this formation directly using formation steps, as it requires things related to space filling, and can only be achieved by relying on formation materials and formation plates.

"Okay." Su Jin and the others simply responded, and then fought hard against the three corpse puppets.

With Su Jin's joining, they are not at a disadvantage this time. It's just that those corpse puppets are really difficult to deal with and cannot be quickly resolved in a short time.

After Gu Jiu prepared the materials for the formation, he used his spiritual power to drive them to the corresponding positions.

After all the materials fell to the designated locations, a formation plate flew towards the center of the three corpse puppets.

"Retreat." he shouted.

Several people responded by using their spiritual skills and retreating at high speed.

Gu Jiu activated the formation.

All of a sudden, circles of array patterns appeared on the ground around the array plate, connecting several array materials and emitting dazzling light.

After a while, a small fog appeared in the middle of the formation, and all three corpse puppets fell into the fog and never came out again.

Seeing this, the female puppet on the opposite side kept moving her hands, as if she was controlling the corpse puppet to break the formation.

However, no corpse puppet was able to successfully break out of the formation.

Gu Jiu smiled, this formation was his masterpiece, how could it be broken so easily by someone at the Jindan stage of cultivation?

The situation then completely reversed. Without the endless battle between the corpses and puppets, it was now five people against one.

When the female puppet saw this, a hint of hatred appeared in her eyes.

"Very good, you guys are quite capable."

She said this, not seeming to be worried about the five people on the opposite side ganging up on her and attacking her.

Su Jin and the others didn't bother to be polite with her and used their spiritual skills to attack the female cultivator's puppet.

However, the opponent was not weak. She dodged and avoided the spiritual skills of several people. Finally, Su Jin's flaming sword energy was also blocked by her.

The female puppet cultivator seemed to feel that she was not completely sure of taking down all five people at once.

An evil smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his hand movements changed again.

Just after she did this, an explosion suddenly sounded in the fog of Gu Jiu's formation.

A powerful spiritual power burst out from the mist, shaking the entire cliff.

"Corpse explosion, be careful not to rush over, she just gave up the corpse puppet, don't get hurt."

Gu Jiu was aware of this and quickly reminded several people.

Su Jin and his companions had to stop their attack and take a defensive stance.

After the corpse explosion, Gu Jiu's formation was also destroyed and lost its function of trapping people.

At the same time, two corpse puppets that had not exploded yet were blown away by the violent explosion.

Just when several people were still shocked by the power of the corpse explosion, the second corpse puppet exploded.

The same explosion power forced several people to step back and defend themselves.

Then there was a third explosion.

The entire cliff was crumbling and rubble was flying everywhere.

When the dust and gravel settled, the female cultivator puppet on the opposite side had disappeared.

"It escaped." Su Jin stared coldly at the place where the female cultivator puppet was originally located.

The few of them did not relax their vigilance. They used their perception but could not detect any trace of the female cultivator puppet.

"Forget it, let's go too. She intends to escape, she must have some hidden escape technique." Gu Jiu said.

Several people searched without success, so this is all they could do.

After re-starting the flying sword, the five of them flew together towards the northeast direction of the target. Not in a hurry, Gu Jiu used the Flowing Fire Flying Sword again.

Mu Zhou and the other two were injured on the way, and they slowly recovered after taking medicinal pills, but Su Jin and Gu Jiu were not injured.

In this secret realm, Su Jin's strength is still good. After all, she is already in the late Jindan stage and is about to break through to the Yuanying stage.

According to Su Yunran, if Su Jin can practice in the secret realm for three months this time, he will be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in less than a year after he gets out.

Gu Jiu had no doubt about this, he could also sense his level of cultivation.

On the way, Gu Jiu only focused on exploring the soul power to prevent being attacked by the female cultivator puppet.

However, there was no movement along the way, and the trip to the target location was safe and sound.

If Gu Jiu had not given Su Jin the book-messaging array plate before, Su Jin's three fellow junior brothers and sisters would have probably turned into corpse puppets by now.

When Gu Jiu arrived at the mountain that Su Yunran pointed to on the map, he took a look and saw that the mountain looked like a volcano.

The surrounding terrain is made up of volcanic rocks and scorched earth, a large black area.

When the mountain breeze blows, you can feel waves of intermittent heat.

After walking around the mountain and comparing the markings on the map, they found the cave.

When I walked into the cave, it was pitch black inside and waves of hot air hit me in my face.

Su Jin wanted to take out something to start a fire, but Gu Jiu directly took out a spirit stone lamp.
