Chapter 128: Corpse Control Technique

"Master!"

After returning to the gang, the two black-robed figures immediately found the leader of the Iron Corpse Gang, Iron Lianhun, who was known as Iron Corpse Shangren, to report on the situation of their mission.

Iron Corpse Shangren was a burly man with thick eyebrows and a dark face, and his presence exuded an invisible aura of intimidation.

Upon hearing the report from the two, he couldn't help but curse, "You two are scared by a mere cultivator of the Thunder attribute! Truly a pair of useless trash!"

The two lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Before they came back, they knew they would definitely be scolded, but in order to preserve their strength, they could only endure it.

Fortunately, Iron Corpse Shangren did not punish them besides scolding.

Although practitioners of the demonic path were cruel, they were not fools. They would not stubbornly bite into a bone that was difficult to chew. Calling for reinforcements upon returning was the right thing to do.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke, "Let the Second Elder bring two blood corpses with you. Make sure to bring back the body of this person! The body of a Thunder attribute cultivator might be able to produce a decent corpse refinement!"

The Second Elder was one of the three Foundation Building stage cultivators in the Iron Corpse Gang.

Blood corpses were a type of corpse refinement. They were nourished daily with the blood of living people. In addition to possessing the abilities of ordinary corpse refinements, they were also the fastest and most flexible type of corpse refinement.

The materials used to make corpse refinements were usually the bodies of cultivators.

The rarer the body used to make the corpse refinement, the more likely it was to possess certain special abilities.

"Yes!"

The two showed joy on their faces and quickly bowed in agreement.

With the Second Elder leading the way, plus two blood corpses comparable to the late Foundation Building stage, it would be enough to kill Xu Mu, let alone wipe out the current Whale Sea Gang.

However, before the two could leave, a subordinate hurriedly came to report.

"Reporting to the leader! There is an urgent message from the Chalin District. A sea clan cultivator is attacking the defensive formation of the district!"

"A sea clan cultivator?"

Iron Corpse Shangren furrowed his thick brows.

In their generation, there were no sea clans living here, and their gang had never offended any sea clans. How could a sea clan suddenly attack their district?

"Did you see which clan it was? Do you know the reason? And what is his cultivation level?"

"Reporting to the leader! It's the Sharkman clan, and his cultivation level is roughly in the mid Foundation Building stage. According to him, one of our people killed his subordinates, and he wants us to pay with blood!"

"The Sharkman clan?"

Iron Corpse Shangren's brows furrowed even tighter.

As far as he knew, this clan had a high status among the sea clans. Even if they were seeking refuge, they wouldn't come here.

Forget it, no matter which clan it was, if they dared to provoke their Iron Corpse Gang, they would be left behind forever.

The bodies of sea clans were top-grade materials for making corpse refinements.

Due to their long-term residence in the deep sea, even if they didn't specialize in Body Refining techniques, their physical bodies were much stronger than ordinary cultivators.

The stronger the physical body, the stronger the power after being transformed into a corpse refinement.

"Now most of the people in the gang have things to do. You two and the Second Elder go and deal with the sea clan first, then handle the Whale Sea Gang!"

"Yes!"

The two didn't voice any objections.

After all, the Whale Sea Gang was still there and wouldn't run away. Whether they went one day earlier or one day later, it would be the same.

After half a day, another subordinate came to report.

"Leader, it's bad! The Second Elder, Eighth Elder, and Ninth Elder were all killed by that sea clan! The district has been breached, and the Foundation Building elders stationed there were also killed. Everything has been looted!"

"What?!"

Iron Corpse Shangren's face turned pale with shock.

The three of them were experienced warriors, powerful Foundation Building cultivators, and they had many life-saving methods. How could they be killed so easily?

"Quickly tell me the details of the battle!" Iron Corpse Shangren asked urgently.

"Yes!"

Through the account of his subordinate, he learned that after the Second Elder and the others arrived, the sea clan first pretended to retreat, tricking the Foundation Building elder guarding the district to come out.

Then, they suddenly unleashed a special silver lightning Divine Ability, killing several people in succession. Only the Second Elder managed to barely resist, but he still couldn't escape death.

"Silver lightning Divine Ability? Could it be the Illusory Thunder of the Silver Shark clan?"

Iron Corpse Shangren's gaze flickered as he muttered to himself.

The silver lightning's attack speed was extremely fast, and it directly targeted the soul, making it difficult to defend against.

Moreover, the Illusory Thunder also had the ability to bypass ordinary spiritual defenses. Those who were unfamiliar with it would inevitably suffer losses when encountering it for the first time.

"But the Silver Shark clan is rare in number and holds a respected position among the sea clans. How could they come to such a remote place?"

This perplexes Iron Corpse, leaving him puzzled.

Regardless, we should catch him first before making any decisions.

We don't know the opponent's methods, so he may still be wary. Now that we know, as long as we prepare some soul-based defensive measures in advance, dealing with him shouldn't be difficult.

"Immediately send a message and gather all the Foundation Building cultivators in the sect to headquarters, and come with me to kill this person!"

"Yes!"

However, before the personnel could gather, news of two districts being breached came.

"How could this happen? Didn't you send the message and tell them to be cautious?"

Iron Corpse was so angry that he almost slapped his subordinate to death.

After inquiring, he learned that the opponent used some means to control the recently captured corpse puppet, disguised his identity, and easily bypassed the defensive formation.

"What? Could it be that he also cultivates the path of corpses?"

Iron Corpse was so shocked that he could hardly speak.

He had never encountered a sea clan cultivator who practiced the path of corpses before.

Alright, the remaining districts received the news and didn't let the opponent succeed.

Soon, Iron Corpse led a large number of subordinates out of headquarters to hunt down the suddenly appearing sea clan member.

Unfortunately, after searching for three months and exhausting all tracking methods, they couldn't find a single trace.

The opponent appeared out of thin air and disappeared just as easily.

"Damn it!"

Iron Corpse was furious but had no way to deal with it.

In the end, he could only remind his subordinates to be more careful and organize a patrol team of Foundation Building cultivators to regularly patrol the districts.

The matter of dealing with the Whale Sea Gang naturally came to nothing.

There was no way, the damage they suffered this time was too severe.

Moreover, the opponent could appear again at any time, and they would have a hard time diverting their strength to subdue the Whale Sea Gang in a short period of time.

However, it was precisely because of this search that Iron Corpse unexpectedly discovered a ruin underwater.

...

Misty Island

Amidst the mist, there were several low roars that sounded like humans and beasts.

"Finally, they have all been fully refined."

Looking at the nine motionless corpse puppets in front of him, Xu Mu appeared very satisfied.

These corpse puppets were obtained by killing the elders of the Iron Corpse Sect three months ago.

For others, it would be difficult to control them, but for Xu Mu, who had the system, controlling them was just a matter of adding points.

Coincidentally, he found a manual on controlling corpses in the storage bag of the second elder.

Because its level wasn't too high, Xu Mu spent three months to quickly raise it to the Transcendent level.

Not only could he control eighteen corpse puppets of the same level at the same time, but he could also manipulate them from a distance through mental induction.

In the entire Iron Corpse Sect, only Iron Corpse himself could surpass him in the path of controlling corpses.

It wasn't because the opponent's cultivation level was higher than his, but because the opponent's control corpse technique was more advanced, surpassing him from the starting line.

Moreover, the opponent had been cultivating for over two hundred years. Even with the system's boost, it wasn't easy to surpass him.

But for Xu Mu, it was already enough.

He didn't cultivate the path of corpses, and these corpse puppets had limited use for him. He just wanted to use them as bodyguards for Xu Yiren.

"Maybe I can learn puppetry in the future and give each of them one. That way, I won't have to worry about them all the time!"

He knew that they lived in the city, and the chances of encountering danger were very low, but Xu Mu couldn't help but worry.

After giving the corpse puppets to Xu Yiren, she was very moved. After being a little disgusted at first, she no longer minded.

She even took the initiative to open her mouth.

Sigh! It's really...

Xu Mu was speechless.

His system only needed to achieve achievements; he didn't need to constantly improve his favorability.

In fact, every time, he just wanted to chat with the other person, but he was always misunderstood!

...

After spending several days with Xu Yiren, Xu Mu found Zhang Tianluo and wanted to inquire about the situation of the sea clan.

In fact, what most people need is just a warm embrace! Hmm!
