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

Chapter 9

After recovering from meditation outside the Golden Python’s cave, Luo San crossed the thorn forest.

He released Mi'e again and ran cautiously in one direction. It was still very dangerous to be alone in the secret realm. Luo Shan had just entered the secret realm when he encountered some situations one after another and almost lost his life here.

Perhaps Luo Shan was lucky enough. After walking for three days, he finally saw a group of disciples wearing the costumes of the Southern Xinjiang Corpse Puppet Tribe coming at a high speed from a distance.

They were also surprised to see Luo Shan. Yuan Xiao looked Luo Shan up and down and saw that Luo Shan had no wounds and his cultivation had improved a lot. Then he smiled:

"Luo San, I'm glad you're okay."

"Our people have found a strange formation site. It must be the great relic that the elders betted with the monks from the Western Regions and Eastern Yue."

"Found it?" Luo San frowned. So fast?

"Yes, but the situation is a bit complicated." Yuan Xiao also frowned.

Seeing this, Luo Shan spoke subconsciously:

"what's the situation?"

While I was guessing, I heard Yuan Xiao speak again:

"Not only our people, but also the three sects of the Western Region Demon Sect, the cultivators of Dongyue and the Gu Tribe, as well as some small sects and independent cultivators, all know about it."

Luo San: “…………”

That was so lively!

"Let's go. We can't delay any longer. The Demon Sect has already joined forces, and the Dongyue cultivators are also united. Even some small sects have teamed up with the independent cultivators. If we go too late, I'm afraid the Gu Clan won't be able to hold on."

Although they really want to see the Gu Tribe weakened by those forces, under the current circumstances, they in Southern Xinjiang cannot afford to have any ulterior motives.

Just as Yuan Xiao said, in a valley filled with thick fog, countless wandering cultivators from various sects and demonic cultivators gathered there. Some cultivators with good skills in formation came forward to check the formation and try to crack it.

As Southern Xinjiang was not good at formations and alchemy, it did not send any disciples there, and was therefore rejected by many people.

Ying Chan, dressed in the costume of the Gu tribe, had a cold face and looked angry, but because of her overly beautiful appearance, she did not look that imposing.

"You don't have anyone in Southern Xinjiang who can solve the formation, so why can you just sit here and enjoy the success?"

A middle-aged man among the Dongyue cultivators stood up and shouted loudly.

"Just, can you please have some shame?"

"How about we unite and kill these demons from Southern Border first?"

"The demons in Southern Xinjiang are all in league with evil creatures. How are they any different from the devils? I think it's best to kill them right here!"

With someone taking the lead, more people will naturally step forward. There are enough independent cultivators from various sects here. When the formation is broken, they won't have much soup to drink. It would be better to deal with the group of people from southern Xinjiang first. In this way, there will naturally be more bowls of soup to share.

Ying Chan looked at the crowd of angry monks expressionlessly, her hands clenched tightly. They were outnumbered and weak, so they, the Gu tribe, might have to temporarily retreat from the valley and think of other options.

"Haha, this fellow Taoist is even more arrogant than athlete's foot. He even said that he would kill all of us in Southern Xinjiang." Yuan Xiao leaped up, and with the spiritual power lifting his body, he passed the crowd and stood next to Ying Chan.

"In that case, why don't you let me see your abilities first?" As soon as the Corpse Puppet Tribe joined, the originally weak Gu Tribe seemed to gain confidence in an instant and no longer backed down.

Luo Shan was squeezed in the middle of the Corpse Puppet Tribe and inexplicably sensed a malicious gaze. His original expression of watching the fun instantly restrained. He frowned and looked around, but saw nothing.

He quietly took out a defensive talisman from his storage ring, activated it with his spiritual power, and stuck it on his back. Then Luo Shan looked at Ying Chan who was surrounded by the crowd.

It seems that her guess was correct. The mastermind behind the attack on the original owner indeed came to the Donglin Secret Realm.

"Monster, why should we, as casual cultivators, be afraid of you?"

The casual cultivator who spoke first had a furious look on his face, and looked at the cultivators from Southern Border as if he were looking at the evil cultivators from the Western Regions.

"Okay, then let me see your strength." Yuan Xiao raised his hand, and a pale corpse puppet appeared beside him. The clothes on the corpse puppet seemed to be the same as when it died, and there were many scars left by fighting.

"A corpse puppet in the late stage of foundation building?" The cultivator on the opposite side had an unpleasant expression on his face, and after saying this he took a step back.

"It must be Brother Yuan Xiao from the Southern Xinjiang Corpse Puppet Clan." A handsome young man with a folding fan in his hand stood out from the Dongyue Imperial Gate with peach blossom eyes and a big smile on his face.

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Su Yu from Yu Men. I've heard of your great name for a long time." Yuan Xiao also recognized that the other party was the handsome young man Su Yu from Yu Men.

"Hahahaha, what a shame. Today is actually a good day, Song Ligui, you say it is and it isn't." Su Yu turned around and smiled, raising his eyebrows at a white-robed monk with a long sword on his back not far away.

Song Ligui didn't say anything. He looked over here expressionlessly, and finally frowned and looked at the cultivators outside the formation.

"It is indeed a good day. Those who come from the Demon Sect are just some small and insignificant cultivators. When the formation is broken, we will kill the demons first." Another young man from the Imperial Gate spoke, staring at the three sects of the Demon Sect with a bad look.

"Wait, don't rush to break the formation." A handsome young man in yellow clothes next to the young man frowned and raised his voice a little.

"Xiao Rong from the Demon Sect, Ao Gaodan from the Rakshasa Sect, and Yin Zizhan from the Yinshan Sect are all here. Something is fishy here!" As soon as Su Jue finished speaking, he saw several cultivators who were originally circling the formation to find a way to break it were bounced back into the crowd by the formation.

"This is a trap, we have all been deceived!" One of the monks vomited blood, sat up and said in horror.

"what?"

Many people's faces changed. After realizing something, they wanted to leave the valley, but they didn't expect that they were trapped in an invisible formation.

"What's going on? He was fine just now, why did he suddenly become like this?"

"Damn it, did those people who broke the formation accidentally trigger the formation, so that we are trapped here?"

"I want to go out, don't stop me."

"..."

The independent cultivators and cultivators from some small sects were the first to react. After all, although the independent cultivators had formed a temporary alliance, they were not as patient as the disciples from the big sects.

Faced with this situation, how could they remain calm? They all took out their weapons and tried to break out of the trap.

Luo Shan watched as one of the wandering cultivators roared and slashed at the formation with his knife, but he suffered the backlash and was bounced away and fell to the ground, already dying.

Luo Shan saw Ling Wanran from Qingyun Sect in the crowd. Unlike the anxious cultivators around her, Ling Wanran was also a little surprised, but did not show any other abnormal behavior.

The hustle and bustle made many people feel irritated. Luo Shan watched the drama one after another quietly.
