Chapter 576: Spiritual Puppet (2/2)

Xue Wei and the two ghosts had never heard of such things before, so they all seemed confused and waited for Lan to continue to explain.

”They were not real beings, but puppets that had been created by spiritual energy. Unlike other entities made from energy, they do not have their own mind, as they are created to work only based on their creator's thoughts. At the same time, these puppets had likely been infused with a trace of the creator's soul, as that would explain how they could use the power of this realm to their own advantage.”

Xue Wei was somewhat confused, but he also understood that if this was the case, then there was no longer any doubt that someone was urging all his actions from behind.

”Will the creator know everything about their actions?”

Xue Wei had already guessed the answer, but he still could not help but ask.

”Yes. And they will only act if they have been given direct orders from their master, so it seems that our entry into this realm has been prepared a long time ago. It also explains why this residence seem abandoned. These puppets has likely gone into hibernation the moment they crossed the door, and then woken up when a new order has been given.”

”So, now that their owner, and the old sovereign of this realm, know that you have squeezed his position away, they have been called back by the creator?”

Xue Wei could not guess any other reason for these puppets to vanish like this, but he was also somewhat reluctant to let them leave just like that.

He understood that it would be impossible to get any information from them, as they were created as the most loyal subordinates to their creators, but he could still vent some of his frustrations and destroy them.

He did not believe that these spiritual puppets were easy to make, and considering that a sliver of the creator's soul had been implanted into these puppets made Xue Wei understand just how important they were.

Killing them would definitely cause damage to the guy who was hiding in the darkness, and Xue Wei was more than willing to see this mastermind behind the scenes suffer.

”They have been retracted by their creator.”

Lan had already used his connection to the realm to search all over for these judges, but their disappearance was not out of his expectations.

”Since they are gone, we can't keep wasting time on worrying about them. I have no doubt that we will encounter them again later, as they seem to be rather important to our enemy.”

Lan nodded his head, he completely agreed with Xue Wei's thoughts, but he also felt somewhat confused. Had this mastermind behind the scenes intentinoally summoned him to the Ghost Realm for the purpose of sealing his powers?

If so, this guy had worked hard for many thousands of years to prepare for Xue Wei and himself to enter his trap. Such a person was terrifying and he did not even know what his ultimate goal was.
