    Chapter Index

    As the saying goes, “There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart.” This is exactly what happened to Junior Sister Liu at this moment.

    At this moment, she gave up resisting, gave up escaping, and even forgot her current situation.

    “Hehehe… catch this girl, but don’t let go of the kid who’s running away in front, chase him.” However, Senior Brother Gong among the three disciples of the Corpse Puppet Sect laughed sinisterly, licked his scarlet lips, and his eyes were still staring grimly at the clouds in front.

    Obviously, judging from the looks of it, he still didn’t intend to let the escaped Senior Brother Zhou go.

    The two young men behind him immediately dodged after hearing what Senior Brother Gong said; their slightly cold and dead magical aura suddenly spread out, and black light flashed in their hands, quickly subduing Junior Sister Liu, who was still in a daze, without any effort.

    Senior Brother Gong, who was tall and burly, also fixed his gaze on the face of Junior Sister Liu, whose magic power had been sealed, with unconcealable heat and greed in his eyes.

    “Hehe… Congratulations to Senior Brother Gong, we have added another corpse prostitute.” Seeing this, the two young men who were holding Junior Sister Liu hostage all looked humble and congratulated in unison.

    In response to this, Senior Brother Gong’s smile became even more pronounced.

    “You two take her with you, then go into the foggy area ahead and continue chasing that guy. I want to see where he can escape to.”

    I saw that the smile on Senior Brother Gong’s face disappeared completely at this moment, and then he said in a gloomy voice.

    Upon hearing this, the other two also looked towards the somewhat dead clouds ahead.

    “What, what is this place? Why is it so quiet in the clouds?” At this moment, in this foggy place, a young man in a white robe walked forward cautiously, his eyes wandering around.

    In this way, the man walked forward for another half an hour and then stopped.

    The further he walked, the more terrifyingly quiet the clouds and mist became, giving him a vague feeling of fear and trepidation.

    And this was Senior Brother Zhou, the disciple of Xianyang Sect who had previously plotted against Junior Sister Liu and escaped into the misty land alone.

    I saw Senior Brother Zhou standing next to a huge rock about two meters high, his face changing from gloomy to bright.

    Sometimes I look behind me, which is the road I have walked; sometimes I look ahead, which is endless and shrouded in clouds and mist.

    At this moment, he was a little hesitant. If he retreated, the three Corpse Puppet Sect disciples would be watching him closely. But if he continued forward, who knew if there would be some unimaginable danger ahead? He valued his life very much.

    The look in his eyes changed, and after glancing back, Senior Brother Zhou finally gritted his teeth and continued to move forward.

    He didn’t dare to gamble. Even if there was any danger waiting for him ahead, he would accept it; but if he fell into the hands of the three people from the Corpse Puppet Sect, that would be a life worse than death.

    The people of the Corpse Puppet Sect, especially those who practice the evil method of refining human corpses and puppets, have mastered it to perfection; the most notorious among them is the refining of living human puppets.

    Directly sacrifice a living person; in that case, the puppet created can not only retain one-tenth of the person’s strength when he was alive, but can also practice on its own, which is far superior to a dead body puppet.

    Of course, although the Corpse Puppet Sect’s practices are despised by most cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation and seem to be against the will of heaven, no one really wants to provoke this sect.

    What’s more, in the Qingxi Region, there are only three truly great sects of immortal cultivation, so ordinary people dare not offend the Corpse Puppet Sect easily.

    The sky was dark and the ground was covered with mist!

    Several hours passed in a flash, and this foggy area gave people a strong sense of oppression.

    “Huh? Where did this kid go? Why does his aura become weaker the further we go?” In a place in the mist, four figures in dark robes were standing back to back.

    Looking closely, it turned out that three of these four people were the three disciples of the Corpse Puppet Sect who had chased Senior Brother Zhou into the cloud and fog area.

    Standing side by side with the three men was another skinny figure. He was wearing a dark robe and looked no different from an ordinary person, except that his eyes were dull and his expression was sluggish.

    The whole face gave people a feeling of death, as if it was a dead person.

    Looking under his right arm, he saw a slender figure wearing a green dress, with a delicate nose and red lips, and a very beautiful appearance.

    Apparently, this was the woman who was with Senior Brother Zhou before, Junior Sister Liu.

    This black-robed man who looked extremely dull and faintly dead was actually a corpse puppet that was sacrificed.

    You should know that every disciple of the Corpse Puppet Sect will have a corpse puppet since they start practicing.

    Most cultivators have a natal magic weapon, so naturally, the people of the Corpse Puppet Sect also have a natal corpse puppet.

    For example, the disciples of the Corpse Puppet Sect would look for a good corpse from the beginning of their cultivation; or they would use some means to capture some cultivators with higher cultivation levels and hold them captive for sacrifice while they are still alive.

    In this way, during his future cultivation, as his own cultivation becomes more advanced, his natal corpse puppet will become more powerful.

    “Brother Gong, the boy’s breath has gradually become undetectable. Now we can only preliminarily determine his approximate location.” One of the young men who was standing back to back with Brother Gong said, dragging a palm-sized black disc in his right hand.

    When Senior Brother Gong, who was gazing at the depths of the clouds, heard this, his expression turned a little uglier.

    He pondered for a moment, a cold light flashed in his gloomy eyes, then he took a deep breath and said, “Keep moving forward and chase in the approximate direction of that kid.”

    As the sky grew darker, this foggy place seemed to be gradually shrouded in a strange and eerie feeling.

    The three of them did not stay for long, but followed the breath of Senior Brother Zhou and went over.

    At the same time, deep in the foggy area, on a small mound about ten feet in radius, a figure in a white robe stood upright; and this figure was none other than Senior Brother Zhou, who had been walking in the foggy area for five or six hours.

    At this moment, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were filled with deep doubts.

    “It shouldn’t be like this. It’s impossible that they haven’t been able to catch up with me after such a long time.” At this moment, Senior Brother Zhou’s eyes flickered and his face was a little gloomy.

    After some thought in his mind, he looked up again and glanced in the direction he came from; but his sight could only reach three or four feet and he could not see clearly.

    Because at this time the sky was approaching darkness!

    As the sky darkened, the clouds that had originally only reached a person’s waist began to rise strangely, gradually covering the waist, reaching the chest, and then the neck…

    This is also the reason why Senior Brother Zhou chose a small mound with higher terrain to stand and watch.

    His eyes narrowed slightly and his body involuntarily shrank. In the end, Senior Brother Zhou did not choose to turn back.

    He clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves, and then he rushed out again and walked into the depths of the foggy area.

    Night falls and darkness covers the earth.

    In the land of clouds and mist, the clouds that have already swirled to mid-air seem illusory and unreal in the night sky, like ghosts walking in the night sky, adding a bit of weirdness and gloom to this area of ​​clouds and mist.

    “Squeak…”

    “Gu…”

    “Sizzle…”

    The foggy area under the night sky was no longer as quiet as it was during the day; all kinds of inexplicable sounds spread quietly, rippling in the swirling clouds.

    Perhaps because of the clouds and smoke, these subtle and strange sounds were not too obvious and clear, which made people feel a sense of throbbing in their hearts.

    In the darkness, in the clouds, behind the huge rocks, in the small lake.

    “Gulp…Gulp…”

    The sound was still the same as during the day, like boiling water.

    A red figure was still floating on the surface of the small lake; he was still lying down, with his eyes closed and his black hair loose.

    The only difference between him and before was that his face was no longer pale, and his breath was no longer weak; instead, his face was unusually rosy, and he did not look like a seriously injured person at all.

    I saw his mouth and nose intersecting with the water surface, and a series of crystal bubbles continued to rise from the water, but the original dirty color in the bubbles had now completely dissipated.

    The gurgling sound in the lake still exists, which seems quite strange in the clouds and mist under the night sky; it is like the swallowing sound made by some unknown creature when it chews food and swallows it.

    In front of the small lake, a huge rock stands, as if it can suppress everything.

    “Da, da…”

    However, not long after, a faint sound of footsteps was heard coming from afar.

    There was a sense of solemnity in the dark clouds and mist.

    “Da, da, da…”

    The footsteps were getting closer and closer, as if the other party knew in advance that there was a huge rock here and a small lake behind the rock.

    “Huh? What’s that sound?” A white-robed figure who was moving steadily forward in the swirling clouds suddenly stopped at this moment; there was a deep sense of wonder and vigilance in his eyes, and he couldn’t help but let out a low cry.

    Because at this moment he faintly heard a series of “gurgling” sounds coming from the front right of him, like boiling water.

    He paused and listened carefully for a moment, and then the figure in white robe started to move again; but this time he was no longer moving in a straight line, but moving to the right front of him.

    His body was tense, his steps light, but there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

    Because he had been walking in the clouds for so long but didn’t see anything, not even a weed, it was inevitable that he felt a little afraid.

    And now, there was finally some movement, and he couldn’t help but feel this way.

    However, the figure in white robe was none other than Senior Brother Zhou who had escaped into the foggy area.

    It was pitch black in the clouds and mist, and the sight could not reach more than a few feet. Even the spiritual sense of a cultivator in the early stage of the first level of the Yuan Realm could not detect more than five or six feet.

    I saw that Senior Brother Zhou looked nervous, his eyes darting around, but his feet never stopped as he gently headed towards the source of the “gurgling” sound.

    After a few breaths, he came to a huge rock, and then he was stunned for a moment.

    “Stone? Stones can make sounds?” At this moment, Senior Brother Zhou widened his eyes with an expression of extreme astonishment.

    Because he was following the strange sound, he came all the way here; he originally thought there would be a small lake or a deep pool here, but when he arrived at his destination, he only saw a huge rock.

    It’s no wonder that he acted like that, because the sound came from the small lake behind the boulder; and as night fell, the fog became denser, and the sound, after passing through layers of fog, gave people this illusion.

    Senior Brother Zhou was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. He then moved a little closer to the boulder again and simply put his ear to it to listen.

    After hearing this, a hint of realization gradually emerged between Senior Brother Zhou’s brows.

    “So, the sound comes from behind this boulder?” After discovering this, he cursed in his heart, and without hesitation, he immediately moved around behind the boulder.
