424 Parasite! (1/2)

I'm not only going to kill Wang Baole, but I'm also going to kill Li Wan'er that slut too!Madness colored Chen Mu's eyes. It gave him a gruesome look. He hated Wang Baole, but he hated Li Wan'er even more.

He had to personally kill this adulterous couple so that he could feel the joy of ending them. Once both Li Wan'er and Wang Baole died, he would have a great chance of becoming the new City Lord of Divine Armament New City.

In fact, becoming the City Lord had become secondary. With a perfected Core Formation realm puppet under his control, he would become the next head of the family clan. He would become a member of the council of elders. Why would he care about a mere City Lord's position then?

Chen Mu might be crazy, but he still retained a basic shred of sanity… it would be a challenge to conceal the truth behind Wang Baole's and Li Wan'er's deaths. There were many eyes in the new city, and aid would come swiftly should the City Lord be in danger. After some thought, Chen Mu held back his murderous feelings and voiced his concerns.

”You have no need to worry. You don't need to be near to wield the puppet. You can do it from a distance, remotely!”

”In addition, on the day we execute the plan, I will also cast a spell to hold back the Governor and her people. This will delay their rescue efforts for some time!” The black-robed man in the ice said in his raspy voice. This made Chen Mu ponder. He asked suddenly, ”Senior, you have such abilities, why do you not do this yourself?”

”If you can destroy the Martian array formation as well as the new city's array formation, I'll give you a puppet. You won't have to do anything. I'll take care of things myself!” the black-robed man said casually. His calm voice rang out in the room. Chen Mu's eyes flashed. He didn't continue with the topic and began to ask about the details of crafting the puppet.

With the black-robed man's lesson, Chen Mu soon figured out how to craft the puppet. A myriad of emotions flashed across his face without pause, and his breathing grew uneven. The method of crafting the puppet seemed too strange and bloody. It was no longer a simple refining but had become a sort of sacrifice. It was a sacrifice of one's blood and flesh!

This must be a dark art!Chen Mu sucked in a deep breath. He stared at the ice on the walls around him. After the black-robed man ended the conversation and left, the ice slowly melted. An hour later, everything resumed to normal—the air was no longer chilly.

Before he left, he didn't urge me to quickly refine the puppet…Chen Mu remained slightly hesitant. The number of people who had to be sacrificed was too many. According to what the black-robed man said, he had to use his own fresh blood to nourish the small drum for a period of time. The small drum would then blossom like a flower and bloom large numbers of dandelion-like creatures.

The dandelions were invisible to others' eyes. They would scatter and find a cultivator as a host, hiding inside the cultivator's body and absorbing their life energies. Finally, they would return to the small drum and fuse with it. That was how the perfected Core Formation realm puppet would be formed.

There were other areas requiring preparation as well, but they were supplementary. The dandelion was the key.

The black-robed man hides ill intentions. I cannot trust him fully and obey his words completely… what he wants is for me to send the dandelions scattering across the entire city, but that would be too great a scale at such an early stage. It would be uncontrollable. The Governor might realize that something is amiss…

I have to carry this out in a controlled and secretive manner. That's the right approach!After musing over this for a while, Chen Mu gritted his teeth and made up his mind. The Five Generation Sky Clan might lack in other areas, but one area they had no lack in was in the number of cultivators. Most were servants bound to the family clan, their loyalty to the family clan unquestionable. They were the safest hosts for the parasites.

Besides, Chen Mu sensed that the choice of hosts for such parasites was important. This was to ensure that he had ultimate control over the puppet. That was why he still felt that having the parasites reside in his own people was the safest bet.

Chen Mu felt that there was nothing wrong with using his own people for the blood sacrifice. If they were loyal enough to die for the family clan, they should then feel equally honored to sacrifice themselves to become part of the puppet.

With such thoughts in mind, Chen Mu began his seclusion. He followed the black-robed man's instructions and used his own blood to nourish the small drum… Time passed gradually during this period. A month soon went by.

Within that month, Chen Mu continued to remain in seclusion, and the construction of the new city continued. Everything was slowly coming into shape. As things began to run more smoothly, Li Wan'er and Wang Baole continued their bizarre relationship—hostile during the day and passionate in the night…
