Start building the foundation: What is the Southern Xinjiang Corpse Puppet?

At Chou time, in the guest room of Zhu's mansion, Luo Shan was meditating with his eyes closed. The small white jade coffin hanging around his waist trembled slightly, as if it sensed something.

Opening his eyes and looking down at his white jade coffin, Luo Shan's expression darkened slightly, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.

The person who could make her corpse puppet sense it, could it be that the person in the dark is from her Southern Xinjiang Corpse Puppet Tribe?

If this is true, things will be troublesome. At least, she has to confirm whether this was done by the corpse puppet cultivators from Southern Xinjiang before the disciples of Luoxia Sect arrive.

Thinking of this, Luo San came up with a plan. He took down the white jade coffin, released the corpse puppet, closed his eyes and entered the corpse puppet's soul-locking space with his spiritual consciousness.

Then he opened the door and left Zhu Mansion quietly.

Following the pulling force, he walked forward and finally arrived outside a courtyard.

This is a very ordinary courtyard. The gate is closed, but a faint ray of light can be seen coming through the gap.

Is there anyone inside?

The divine sense sensed the presence of people inside, and there was more than one, and one of them was actually a cultivator!

He was startled and wanted to hide and observe slowly, but he didn't expect that the cultivator in the house was very alert. The moment Luo San's spiritual sense swept over them, his face changed.

Before he could see clearly what the people inside looked like, the two people disappeared under Luo San's spiritual sense.

what happened?

Although what the head of the Zhu family said sounded mysterious, Luo Shan still couldn't believe it when he saw it with his own eyes. He controlled the corpse puppet to push open the courtyard door and rushed straight to the place where the two people disappeared.

There was a faint smell of corpse in the air. Could it be that the monk was not a human, but a corpse puppet in the same condition as her?

Standing at the place where the two had just disappeared, Luo Shan controlled the corpse puppet to cast a few spells. Spiritual runes appeared in the air and disappeared without a trace in a short while.

Sure enough, it was a formation!

Although he had the answer in his mind, Luo Shan didn't know where to start for a moment.

She was not a cultivator from Dongyue, and was not proficient in the four arts of cultivation, namely formations, elixirs, talismans, and refining. If it was a low-level formation, she could naturally break it with brute force, but this formation was hidden throughout the village and was not something that ordinary people could set up.

In this case, if the person behind the scenes is unwilling to come out, we can only wait for those from the Luoxia Sect.

Controlling the corpse puppet back to Zhu Mansion, Luo Shan frowned. It seemed that if he wanted to have a chance, he still needed to learn more about the formation.

There is a reason why the monks from Southern Xinjiang are called barbarian monks. Different from the monks from Eastern Yue who use various fighting styles, the monks from Southern Xinjiang only fight with all their strength.

Therefore, in many cases, when a Southern Xinjiang cultivator of the same level faces a Dongyue cultivator without the help of corpse puppets or poisonous insects, he will be at a disadvantage on his own.

However, not all cultivators in Southern Xinjiang are like this, as some of them find the four arts of cultivation to be wonderful and choose to practice them as a means of supporting themselves.

The next morning, Luo Shan found the head of the Zhu family and told him in detail what he had seen that night:

"Master Zhu, I guess the mastermind behind this used a formation to get rid of the villagers silently."

"I have some guesses about what you said, but if it was caused by the formation, why can we still enter and leave the village without being affected by the formation?"

In order to find out the reason, the Zhu family mobilized a lot of manpower and resources, but to no avail, so they chose to ask the Luoxia Sect for help.

"The person behind the scenes may have been guarding not far from the formation and controlling it."

"There was something unusual going on in a courtyard in the village last night. When I arrived..."

Luo Shan told the head of the Zhu family about his discovery last night, staring at him closely, not missing the slightest fluctuation in his expression.

"Corpse Qi? Could it be an evil cultivator?" Unlike Luo Shan's guess about the corpse puppets from Southern Xinjiang, the head of the Zhu family directly suspected that this was the work of an evil cultivator.

Luo Shan's heart skipped a beat. The word "evil cultivator" reminded her of what happened in Suyue City. At that time, she provoked two evil cultivators because she sold several magic weapons.

The male cultivator died at her hands, but the other female cultivator used the blood shield technique and escaped.

The blood shield technique was extremely powerful. Luo Shan later used tracking techniques but was unable to find the direction in which the female cultivator escaped.

If we are to confront the evil cultivator this time, we must be on guard against him using some unconventional escape techniques to escape.

"Not necessarily. Perhaps what happened in Xi Village was done by a group of evil practitioners." The head of the Zhu family thought more and more deeply about it, and his face turned from ugly at the beginning to pale.

"No, there should be only one evil cultivator behind the scenes." Luo Shan shook his head and stated the reason for his speculation:

"If there is more than one evil cultivator, why would they go to so much trouble to set up this formation? There is only one cultivator family in Xi Village, so there is no need to be so cautious."

Moreover, the head of the Zhu family has just reached the level of Qi training. Even if the entire Zhu family is destroyed, it is only a matter of time. Why does he need to be so vigilant in setting up the formation?

The head of the Zhu family nodded and agreed with Luo San's guess.

"Since there is only one person behind the scenes, and he cannot leave the formation too far, the disappeared villagers should also be nearby. Maybe they were trapped somewhere by the person behind the scenes, and the formation was set up, so we haven't found them after searching for so long."

"Is there anyone in the Zhu family who knows how to set up formations?" Luo Shan looked at the head of the Zhu family, and seeing the embarrassment on his face, he immediately understood.

"Senior Luo, you can't break the formation either?"

The opponent is at the Foundation Establishment stage. The Zhu family head's expression is not very good. If the seniors at the Foundation Establishment stage cannot break the formation, then they, the cultivators at the Qi Refining stage, will be in even greater danger.

"I'm not good at breaking formations." Luo Shan confessed. She had bought a few formation plates, but other than that, she knew nothing about formations.

"Alas..." The head of the Zhu family sighed and was about to say something when he saw an old man running over in a hurry.

"Master, there are five people outside the door, saying they are disciples of Luoxia Sect."

"What? Come on, please!" Upon hearing that someone from the Luoxia Sect had finally arrived, the head of the Zhu family was delighted and quickened his pace towards the front hall.

A strange look flashed across Luo Shan's eyes, and she followed. Just as she entered the hall, she saw Qin Yi, the eldest senior brother of Luoxia Sect, who had been having a good chat with the head of Zhu family, frowning and looking at her.

Before Qin Yi could say anything, Luo Shan took the initiative and said coldly:

"Why are you from Luoxia Sect here? Have you been following me?"

This sentence stunned Qin Yi, who was about to question why Luo San was here. On the other hand, the head of the Zhu family, who wanted to introduce Luo San to several immortals from the Luoxia Sect, also looked at both sides in surprise.

"We followed you? We accepted the sect's mission and came here to solve the problem in Xi Village. How can we say we were following you?"

Qin Yi didn't say anything. Zhou Yuxuan on the side spoke first. Her biological father was a Yuanying Zhenjun, so she was not afraid even of a Jindan cultivator, not to mention that Luo Shan was only at the Foundation Establishment stage.
