He dared not imagine.
The corpse could directly change its face, so what’s the point of fighting?
Perhaps his own people had already been infiltrated into a sieve.
Li Yuan said, "It’s not that serious, the more functions it has, the more expensive it is, but recently the corpse has made quite a bit of money..."
Then, he recounted the matters of Ghost Street, Spring Breeze Square, and the nurous disappearance cases.
After Yan Mu learned the truth, cold sweat started pouring down his face, and then he angrily clenched his fists and muttered, "These beasts! They actually lure people into depravity and then sell them! These dogs, truly unforgivable!"
Li Yuan poured him a glass of wine and said, "Calm down, the corpse earns ghost coins, and with that money, they beco stronger."
Yan Mu raged, "These dogs should not exist in this world."
Afterward, he realized and quickly said, "I wasn’t talking about cousin..."
Li Yuan sighed and said, "Actually, there are quite a few pitiful people involved in the corpse operations. They are just trying to survive in the cracks of society.
Actually, Ghost Street operated normally, and those who mistakenly enter Ghost Street are people with sins themselves. To be honest, those people deserve their fate.
Now, however, they are rely being exploited.
The one exploiting them must be a terrifying big figure.
I even suspect... it’s soone who rged with an Evil Ghost; otherwise, such an elaborate thod is hard to imagine."
Saying this, he didn’t hide anything from his nephew and explained all the details.
Yan Mu grew increasingly frightened as he listened.
Afterward, he also discussed the situation of the Martial Artists and the corpse with Li Yuan.
Half a month ago, led by Elder Zhu, Mu Hua, Yuan Zongzi, Shan Baishou, and himself, along with local Martial Artists, they decided to settle the matter once and for all by directly storming into Xinyang County, the core of Beijiang Prefecture, and killed the Mansion Master.
But unfortunately, that Mansion Master was a fake.
Several days later...
The Martial Artists went for the second kill, but the second ti was also a fake.
During this process, quite a number of Seventh Grade fighters died among the Martial Artists. To know... these Seventh Grade fighters are all major figures among local forces, veteran in social world experiences, seasoned players on the Social World stage.
In addition, Mu Hua of Divine Wood Hall, and Shan Baishou of Mountain Hall were also injured.
Obviously, the corpse’s strategy is very simple, which is: defensive counterattack followed by beheading.
Strictly speaking, compared to the Martial Artists’ violence and widespread killing, the corpse’s lethality is really insignificant.
But the peculiar characteristic of the corpse is its bizarre attack thods and deadly attack ans.
Among those veteran Seventh Graders in the Social World, several were having hot pot and singing one mont and dead the next... without any chance to prepare.
The Martial Artists, every ti they attacked, felt as if they were punching cotton, feeling extrely frustrated.
Now, unable to persist, they had to retreat to East Spring County, seeking another way.
Yan Mu, depressed, said, "Elder Zhu had almost swept the entire Beijiang Prefecture. Even with corpse attacks on him, they were directly transford by his Protective Shadow Blood, yet it’s still useless..."
"Corpse attacks can be transford by Protective Shadow Blood?" Li Yuan showed curiosity, "How?"
Yan Mu replied, "Elder Zhu does not need to draw an Ancestral Talisman; each drop of his blood contains Talisman Power. When attacked by the corpse, his blood will naturally mobilize to defend against the corpse’s attacks and thus can neutralize them."
Li Yuan:...
This Protective Shadow Blood felt very familiar.
He thought he would have the chance to try his own.
Then he casually asked, "What kind of realm is the Fifth Grade, really?"
Yan Mu shook his head and said, "Uncle, I truly don’t know..."
Li Yuan was puzzled, "But you’re already an Inner Sect Disciple and still don’t know?"
Yan Mu explained, "Unless one reaches the Perfection of Sixth Grade and enters the sect’s forbidden ground, only then will they be told how to break through to Fifth Grade, as it’s a top secret of the sect.
However, in Beijiang Prefecture, Elder Zhu is almost invincible, and corpse’s attacks are almost ineffective against him. Also... he can fly."
A thought struck Li Yuan’s heart, and Yan Mu’s words confird his own suspicions.
To reach the Fifth Grade, one must foster a Gu...
Elder Zhu’s prowess was no longer surprising.
Yan Mu asked, "Uncle, what brought you here?"
Li Yuan replied, "Looking to see if there’s a way to earn so Blood Gold."
Yan Mu said, "There is, in fact. We are aggressively recruiting Wild Honored Guests now, Ninth Grade remunerated with Ninth Grade Demon Beast at or silver, sa for Eighth and Seventh Grade.
And for Sixth Grade, it’s remunerated with Blood Gold.
However... Sixth Grade is extrely rare; up till now, we’ve only recruited one, and they’ve been very secretive.
But, we don’t concern ourselves with identities, only the completion of tasks."
Li Yuan asked, "What’s the paynt thod? If I help you kill the corpses, can I be paid per head?"
He had already figured it out,
Demon Birds hovering, providing sight;
holding the Ghost Bow, extending the range;
using blood as an arrow, a kill with each shot.
Whatever Evil Ghost Tools there are, as long as they are not too rare, they’ll be pierced by his shot...
By then, wherever he roams, searching for those with "Equipnt Bar" in the information, he’ll shoot and kill whichever has it.
Hovering around here, he’s unlikely to kill the wrong person.
"Paid per head?" Yan Mu was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "No, this corpse has an indistinct identity; even if killed, just looking at a head, we cannot tell if it’s a corpse or not..."
Li Yuan was speechless and said, "Then?"
Yan Mu explained, "We pay by attendance frequency, for a routine engagent it is 20 taels of Blood Gold, for an escort attack it is 50 taels of Blood Gold. Besides, Blood Gold can be directly used to purchase sect resources."
Li Yuan "oh"ed, and suddenly it made sense to him.
This indeed was frustrating.
Though, thinking again, it seed... it’s still okay.
