Chapter 78: Corpse Yin Sect (Part 2)

On the ground, the Monster's expression changed drastically. Without hesitation, he immediately tore off all nine yellow papers on his body. As nine colors of Qi surged, he quickly shot up from the ground, rushed to where Wang Lin was, tore through the red light barrier without a care, and quickly descended while holding Wang Lin.

The moment the other party arrived, Wang Lin woke up. He saw the look of fear in the Monster's eyes and simultaneously sensed the strange change in the sky. Without a word, he allowed the other party to drag him down the statue.

After the two landed, the Monster immediately formed Hand Seals and pressed them against the statue. A pitch-black Vortex appeared on the outer wall of the statue, and the Monster pulled Wang Lin in with him.

At the same time, the eight beams of light dissipated, and the statue slowly sank toward the ground.

At this moment, the figure of the man stepping on the coffin in mid-air solidified, revealing a withered body with a cold expression. Beside him stood a Corpse Charm exuding a foul odor, its eyes filled with greed.

The man stared at the statue sinking into the ground. His massive Divine Sense covered the entire ruin in an instant. After a brief scan, he finally placed his gaze back on the statue.

As for Wang Lin, the moment he was pulled into the statue by the Monster, his eyes flickered. He swept out his Divine Sense and a look of shock appeared on his face.

The space inside the statue was not large; it was as if it were a Void Realm where many white crystals floated. In the very center, there was a black stone figure sitting cross-legged on the ground.

The appearance of this stone figure was exactly the same as the statue outside. Strips of purple light radiated from the stone figure, connecting to several locations on the inner wall of the statue.

Immediately after, a light screen appeared inside the statue. The light screen rippled, finally revealing an image that showed exactly what was happening outside.

Through the light screen, Wang Lin clearly saw everything outside. Looking at the Monster again, he was now trembling like a cicada in winter, but his eyes revealed a strong look of hatred.

The man stood outside the statue, staring at it with a calm expression, speaking unhurriedly: "Master, a hundred years have passed in a flash. This time, you cannot escape."

Wang Lin took a deep breath, turned his head, and stared at the Monster, saying: "Are you his master?"

The Monster looked at Wang Lin blankly. Just then, Wang Lin's eyes flashed, and he opened his mouth to spit out a green light. In a flash, the green light struck fiercely toward the stone figure floating cross-legged above.

A stream of purple Qi instantly radiated from the stone figure. The little green Flying Sword teleported over in a flash, passed directly through the purple Qi, and stabbed the stone figure.

A violent roaring sound rang out, and a ball of light quickly flew out from the stone figure. Wang Lin's eyes flickered, and with a point of his right hand, the Flying Sword changed direction again and shot after the light ball.

The Monster reacted at this moment, his eyes immediately showing anxiety. He stared at Wang Lin with hidden anger in his eyes, pointing at the Flying Sword and wailing a few times.

Wang Lin was stunned. Just then, a hurried voice came from within the light ball.

"Little friend, do not be impulsive. This old man has no malicious intent. I am the true master of that man outside…" At the same time, countless points of light gathered from all directions, and the specks of light fused into the light ball, gradually forming a little person about a foot tall, appearing before Wang Lin.

The little person looked weak, his whole body dim and lusterless, appearing like a young boy. While dodging the Flying Sword, he bowed repeatedly to Wang Lin, his face showing a look of terror.

The Monster roared angrily at this moment and stepped forward to intercept the Flying Sword.

The moment the other party spoke, Wang Lin retreated a few steps. With a wave of his right hand, the small sword quickly retreated, floating outside his body with the tip pointing at the other party.

The Monster came to the side of the little person, turned back to glare at Wang Lin, wailed and roared, and his eyes revealed a look of disappointment.

The little person smiled bitterly, floated up gently, sat on the Monster's shoulder, patted the Monster, and said: "A-Dai, do not be rude to our guest."

The Monster's expression immediately softened, but he still scanned Wang Lin vigilantly.

The little person sighed, looked at Wang Lin, and said gently: "Little friend, please do not attack. This old man…"

Before he could finish speaking, the man outside the statue spat out a strange syllable. The moment the syllable left his mouth, the entire statue shook and stopped descending.

The little person's expression changed slightly. He formed Hand Seals with both hands and spat out a mouthful of purple Qi. As soon as this gas appeared, it immediately merged into the inner walls of the surrounding statue.

The statue's eyes shone with purple light, and it descended again.

The man let out a cold snort and reached out to grab at the air. The statue vibrated again, and its downward trend slowly stopped. Immediately after, he continuously cast various Hand Seals, and the statue remained standing amidst a series of roaring sounds.

The little person inside the statue breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, looking even more exhausted, and said to Wang Lin: "Under A-Mu's attack, this statue can hold out for half an hour, which is enough for me to explain the cause and effect to you, little friend."

Wang Lin said nothing, staring at the other party.

"This old man is Wu Yu. I wonder if you have heard of the Corpse Yin Sect, little friend?" The little person sighed and said.

Wang Lin's expression remained normal, the green Flying Sword beside him humming, and he slowly shook his head.

Wu Yu smiled bitterly and said: "Little friend, there is no need to be so guarded. This old man is currently in a Nascent Soul out-of-body state, and coupled with the constant depletion of Nascent Soul Qi over hundreds of years, I am already extremely weak and will not pose any threat to you. On the contrary, your Flying Sword just now nearly took this old man's life."

Wang Lin's eyes flickered, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Who is that person outside? Are you his master?"

Wu Yu's eyes revealed a look of helplessness, and he said: "He is this old man's Corpse Puppet. Sigh, this old man was originally one of the ancestors of the Corpse Yin Sect. The Corpse Yin Sect has a unique cultivation method: all entering Disciples must find a corpse to refine into their own Corpse Puppet."

"As one's own cultivation increases, the Corpse Puppet will also become stronger."

Wang Lin narrowed his eyes and said: "Your Corpse Puppet has rebelled."

Wu Yu smiled bitterly, nodded, and said: "That's right. Originally, with the guidance of the Cultivation Technique, a Corpse Puppet would never rebel for its entire life. Unfortunately, three hundred years ago, this old man brought him here, intending to use the yin cold qi of this place to help myself Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul. Unfortunately, I failed at the last moment, and the Corpse Puppet took advantage of this Opportunity to severely injure me. When my mind was greatly shaken, he escaped my control."

At this time, the vibration frequency of the statue became more and more intense. The little person's eyes showed anxiety, his speech speed increased, and he continued: "At that time, because I had to go into seclusion to heal my wounds, I had no intention of pursuing him. When I went out to look for the Corpse Puppet after a hundred years when my injuries had slightly improved, he did not know what kind of Opportunity he had obtained, but he had actually developed intelligence and had even reached the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul before me."

"I was no match for him, so my Nascent Soul left my body, and I luckily escaped. My Nascent Soul was severely injured, and ever since then, I have hidden inside this statue, not daring to go out. The Corpse Charm outside is my original Physical Body from back then. I didn't expect that under the influence of the yin cold qi in this withered forest, it would also Cultivate intelligence. Sigh."

Wang Lin sneered and said: "A load of nonsense. If that Corpse Puppet has developed intelligence as you say, why hasn't he left, but instead keeps looking for you?"

Wu Yu smiled bitterly, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Forget it. Little friend, there is something you do not know. This involves a secret of my Corpse Yin Sect. Even though this Corpse Puppet has broken free from my control, I have after all refined him for hundreds of years, and our minds are already linked. If he leaves me for more than a hundred miles, he will immediately vanish into thin air."

"The only way to solve this problem is to swallow my Nascent Soul and Seal me inside his body. In this way, he can truly escape my restraint."

Wang Lin's eyes flickered, and he said: "For hundreds of years, he has never found you?"

Wu Yu touched the surrounding inner walls of the statue and said: "When I was fleeing, I inadvertently entered this statue. This statue contains a magical power that can cover my aura. With the help of the statue, I was able to survive. In addition, ever since this Corpse Puppet entered the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul, I don't know why, but every time he comes out to be active for a period of time, he needs to fall into a deep sleep, and each deep sleep lasts for a hundred years. This is also one of the reasons why I haven't been swallowed."

"Oh? Then why didn't you escape while the other party was in deep sleep?" Wang Lin asked slowly with a calm expression.

"I have tried to escape countless times, but this withered forest is wrapped in a fog. This fog causes strong damage to a Nascent Soul body. Even if I touch a tiny bit, I cannot bear it. Originally, this Corpse Puppet could not find me, but this time I didn't expect my Physical Body to have developed intelligence. Relying on the connection between the Physical Body and me, he was able to find this place."

"Plus, A-Dai acted on his own initiative and actually opened the statue for you. In this way, he attracted the other party over. Sigh, this is fate; I cannot blame anyone else." Wu Yu smiled bitterly, looked at Wang Lin, and continued:

"Little friend, he told me about your acquaintance with A-Dai long ago. If I had seen you three hundred years ago when I was first trapped here, I would have tried every means to take your Physical Body. But now, I have already wasted the Opportunity for Possession on A-Dai. Unless I can reach the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul, I cannot perform Possession again."

Wang Lin did not believe a word of what the little person said, but on the surface, his expression remained normal. He glanced at the Monster and said: "His name is A-Dai?"

Wu Yu nodded and said: "Little friend, this A-Dai was discovered by me inside this statue. At that time, he was sleeping here. After I entered, I intended to perform Possession, but unfortunately, he possessed a heaven-destroying and earth-shattering power within his body. My Possession failed, and I left behind most of my Nascent Soul Qi inside A-Dai, which is how I narrowly escaped. However, it was precisely because of this that A-Dai woke up from his deep sleep and developed an inexplicable feeling toward me, and we have since depended on each other for survival."

"Since then, I knew that I would probably have no chance to leave in this life, until A-Dai told me that he had met you."

Speaking of this, a look of excitement flashed in Wu Yu's eyes.

Wang Lin did not speak, quietly looking at the other party, waiting for what was to come.

Wu Yu's face showed a look of pleading, and he said: "This old man implores you, little friend, to help me…"
