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

"Fairy Luo, Fairy Ling, have you seen Xiaotong and Erer?" When Luo Shan returned to the gate of the rented courtyard, he saw the old man who was waiting eagerly at the door.

"What's wrong? They didn't come back. Maybe they are looking for a way to make a living in the city." Ling Wanran comforted.

"I don't know why, but I always feel a little uneasy today. I just saw many immortal masters walking by in a hurry. Did something happen?" The old man was still worried.

"The Siren Tide has arrived. I'm afraid Wuwang City won't be peaceful in the future."

"What? A Siren tide? Why would it happen now?" The old man was shocked. A Siren tide occurs every ten years, but this year is only eight years since the last one. How could it happen so soon this time?

"I don't know, but the city defense formation has been activated, so I don't think there will be any problem." Luo San glanced at Ling Wanran, and seeing that the other party had a strange expression, he pretended not to notice.

"No, I have to go find Xiaotong." The old man felt a little relieved when he heard the city defense formation was activated, but he was still worried when he thought of his grandson's Qi training level.

"Old man, the city is in chaos now. Even if you go out to look for him, it may be difficult. It is better for you to wait at home. I think Xiaotong is a smart child and I don't think anything will happen to him." Luo Shan thought of the child's cleverness and was not too worried.

"Okay, okay, I'll wait here." The old man nodded. He was also afraid that if he went to look for him himself, his grandson would come back and see that he was not there, and would go out to look for him again.

Luo Shan and Ling Wanran looked at each other, and then they entered the rented courtyard.

…………

In the Wuwang Sea, a small ship was sailing at high speed in the direction they came from, and not far behind them, densely packed sea monsters on the sea were heading towards this side.

"Fairy Gu, I'm afraid we are about to be caught up by this group of sea monsters." A male cultivator looked behind him in horror, with sweat on his forehead rolling down his cheeks.

"It seems that we have no choice but to fight head-on." Gu Qingcheng held a long sword in his hand and squinted his eyes at the group of sea monsters not far away.

"How can we fight with so many sea monsters? I don't want to die yet!" The other cultivator's voice was filled with tears. With so many sea monsters, even if they were in the Jindan stage, they might not be able to return alive.

"If you want to stay alive, you have to fight to the end and wait for support from Wuwang City." Gu Qingcheng said calmly with an uneasy look on her face.

Soon, the four were caught up by the herd of sea monsters behind them, and countless sea monsters in the Qi Refining and Foundation Building stage swarmed towards them.

Gu Qingcheng and Song Guili leaped into the air, the swords in their hands flashing with cold light, and every sword they swung was filled with murderous intent.

The blue sea surface was dyed red with blood. The four monks were no match for so many sea monsters. Soon the spiritual power of the two monks on the boat was almost exhausted, and the magic weapons on their bodies were shattered one by one by the sea monsters.

"Brother, I'll go down and help them." Gu Qingcheng was also a little anxious. She had little spiritual power left. If no one came to support her, she was afraid she would die here.

"Okay!" Song Guili looked at his junior sister's determined expression, paused, and took out a purple talisman from the storage bag.

"I leave this talisman for you. If you need to activate it, it can save your life."

"Brother, this is too precious. I still have a life-saving magic weapon given by Master. You should keep this talisman just in case."

Gu Qingcheng declined politely, then returned to the boat and slashed the sea monster in half with a sword.

"Thank you, Fairy Gu." The two seriously injured people expressed their gratitude. Seeing that Gu Qingcheng had blocked some of the sea monsters for them, one of them said:

"I'll help you hold off the sea monster first. You should replenish your spiritual power quickly."

"Thank you, fellow Daoist." The other person nodded, then took out the elixir from his storage bag and swallowed it.

The four of them took turns fighting like this and managed to hold out for three hours. The smell of blood on the sea became stronger and stronger. Gu Qingcheng and Song Guili both looked tired, while the other two had suffered a lot of injuries. The robes of the four were stained red with blood.

When the Jindan cultivators from the Song and Wang families and one of the Yuanying cultivators who came out to rescue people found Song Guili and others, they were all shocked by the bloody scene. Countless sea monsters attacked the two human cultivators. There was only endless killing and fighting spirit in their eyes, and their robes had turned red.

.........

After staying in the rented courtyard for a while, Luo Shan went out alone. She first went to the teleportation hall and saw that it was indeed guarded by the monks from the Wang and Song families.

"I want to leave, why are you keeping us here?"

"That's right. I am from the Murong family of Shen Cang City. Aren't you afraid of offending the Murong family by doing this?"

Many cultivators showed resentment on their faces. The Siren tide was so dangerous that they naturally did not want to stay in Wuwang. However, these cultivators from the Wang and Song families were going too far and actually locked them up in such a dangerous place as Wuwang City.

"The Patriarch said that Wuwang City is in danger right now, and all cultivators in Wuwang City should stay in the city to fight against the sea monsters."

The leader of the guards had a look of displeasure on his face. These monks were so afraid of death that they were really despicable.

"I am just practicing Qi, how can I fight against the sea monster? You clearly want us to stay and die!"

The low-level Qi-refining cultivators were extremely angry and started cursing at the leader.

“You guys… ah!”

After cursing for just a few words, his body flew backwards involuntarily, and then he heard the leader continue:

"The teleportation array can only reach Wuwang City. If you want to get out from here, you can wait until the sea monster tide is over. If you cause trouble here, I will warn you the first time, and I will spare your life the second time!"

The monks surrounding outside turned pale, and seeing the leading monk's cultivation level of the late Jindan stage, they all shut up.

"Why are there so many people? What happened in Wuwang City?"

Just as the stalemate was about to begin, a lazy voice sounded, and then a tall, handsome young man with a folding fan in his hand walked out with a smile on his face:

"Could it be that they are here to welcome Jue?"

"Su Jue, could you please stop being so narcissistic!" On the other side, a heroic female cultivator in red clothes and carrying an axe on her back frowned.

"Bai Yue, your junior sister is really boring." Su Jue shrugged, sighed, and then said to the cultivator standing by:

"My fellow Daoist, what happened in Wuwang City?"

The question was asked by a foundation-building cultivator. When he saw that one of the three was wearing the uniform of a disciple of the Imperial Sect, and the other two were wearing the uniform of disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, he immediately cupped his hands and said respectfully:

"So it's the Daoist friends from Yumen and Wanjian Sect. A wave of sea monsters is coming outside Wuwang City, and the head of the family ordered us to guard the teleportation hall."

"I see." Su Jue nodded and instantly understood why there were so many people here.

"It seems that we have arrived at the right time." Si Qianning, a female cultivator wearing the uniform of a disciple of the Wanjian Sect, was a little excited. The giant axe behind her, which was as big as her, seemed to sense her fighting spirit and trembled slightly.

"It's Su Jue from the Imperial Sect and Bai Yue and Si Qianning from the Wanjian Sect."
