600 Mysterious Powerhouse (1/2)
Underworld immortal cultivators favored corpse puppets the most. Underworld cultivators with just the slightest bit of power would have a few skillful corpse puppets. That was also why Underworld Sects liked the method of cultivating corpse puppets by killing live people. This was because such a method of cultivation not only created highly talented underworld immortal cultivators but could also create corpse puppets.
Without a doubt, the Corpse Puppet was just a corpse puppet. Yet, the previously undefeated Luofeng sect leader now completely disappeared.
If there was an underworld immortal cultivator present, he would definitely be overjoyed because he would be able to pick up a corpse puppet for free. However, to the warriors here, the Corpse Puppet was doubtlessly trouble. That was because the power of the Corpse Puppet was equivalent to a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
Perhaps such a creature was not as powerful as a living grandmaster, but it was not an existence that they could easily defeat.
Mo Wen shook his head and sighed. He was not an immortal cultivator and did not know how to make corpse puppets. Even if he encountered an ownerless corpse puppet, he would only be able to look at it and had no realistic hope of taking control of it.
The other warriors were all very surprised when they heard the news. They had not expected that the monster was the famous Martial Arts Grandmaster of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. He was someone whom, even now, they all looked up to.
”You all still have a chance if you escape now,” Mo Wen said lightly, a hint of playfulness in his eyes. ”Otherwise, you'll all die here.” In the face of such a terrifying Corpse Puppet, no matter how much they wanted the treasure, they would not give up their lives, would they?
The warriors all looked at each other with some hesitance in their eyes. The two great treasures that they had been dreaming of were right in front of them. They would all feel indignant if they left now. However, the power that the Corpse Puppet had displayed had made them all aware that they would have to pay an unimaginable price if they wanted to take the Dark Soul Pearl and the Cries of Hades Bell from it.
Roar! Even after eating two humans, the Corpse Puppet was not satisfied. It swept its red eyes over the crowd. Its next move was extremely quick. In the blink of an eye, a warrior appeared in its hand. The practitioner from the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm warriors was not strong enough to defend themselves against such as strong creature. As everyone watched in horror, the third victim turned into a dried corpse. It was tossed casually onto the ground as if it were trash.
Pavilion Leader Ye Rong could not bear it any longer. ”Warriors of the Purple Qi Pavilion. Leave the great hall immediately,” she ordered, her face pale. She knew that the ordinary warriors would die if they stayed in the great hall now. However, she did not leave but stayed where she was.
”Warriors of the Five Beasts Sects, leave the great hall immediately.”
”Warriors of the Medical Sect, leave the great hall immediately.”
”Warriors of the Weapon Forging Sect, leave the great hall immediately.”
The sect leaders of the three other major sects gave the same order at the same time. The four major sects only had such a high position in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension because of the strengths of their warriors. If all the warriors in the upper levels died here, then the strength of the sect would decrease.
Warriors left the great hall one after another. They all looked pale and left almost without hesitation. They all only had one life and no one wanted to die here.
While everyone was leaving, the Corpse Puppet caught another unlucky warrior. Sucking his blood, it ignored the other fleeing warriors. The Corpse Puppet was not an intelligent creature and acted purely on instinct.
The great hall quickly cleared. Most of the warriors had left. However, there were some who remained. Bu Zhangkun and the four other warriors in the later stages of the Golden Elixir realm were there.
Apart from those four, there were also two elders. If Mo Wen remembered correctly, the two elders belonged to Five Beasts Sect and Purple Qi Pavilion respectively. However, the two of them had laid low throughout the journey and had not made many moves. In fact, he did not even know what they looked like because they were both wearing masks. Only the skin on their hands allowed him to figure out that they were both very old.
Mo Wen looked at the two elders in surprise. The other practitioners in the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm had already left. Why had these two stayed behind?
”Why did you not leave?” Jiang Pingzhou whipped his head around to look at Mo Wen hatefully.
”Why should I leave?” Mo Wen said lightly.
”That's funny. Do you want the Dark Soul Pearl and the Cries of Hades Bell? Are you not afraid of gorging yourself to death?” Jiang Pingzhou laughed angrily. The lad was audacious to the extreme. He was not even running at a time like this. Was he preparing to take the Dark Soul Pearl and the Cries of Hades Bell in the kerfuffle? The youth obviously did not know what death meant.
”You guys are the ones not afraid of death,” Mo Wen said lightly. ”Do you think that you will be able to take the Dark Soul Pearl and the Cries of Hades Bell from the Corpse puppet with your abilities?”
Mo Wen did want the pearl and the bell, which was why he had not left. However, this was because he was confident. He could see that the warriors of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension seemed reluctant to just leave like that.
However, he was also very curious. Why did these two think that they could take the two treasures from the corpse puppet?
After sucking the blood of the fourth warrior dry, the Corpse Puppet swept its red-eyed gaze over the warriors in the great hall once more. Then, it zoomed in onto its target. It flashed and pounced on Bu Zhangkun who was nearest to it.
