Within a step's distance, if Ning Fan wished, he could make her die without a complete corpse in less than a second.
"The Corpse Herding Sect's base is just ahead, I guarantee you'll be astonished by what you see."
Watching Lin i keeping him in suspense, Ning Fan smiled faintly but did not stop her.
Giving a little sweetener appropriately is the foundation for continued good cooperation.
Through Lin i's continuous explanations, Ning Fan gained a rough understanding of the terrain of the secret realm.
The Corpse Herding Sect set their base in the secret realm and had once organized personnel to survey the terrain.
Over the years, the surveying and paving of the ground had cost nurous lives of the Corpse Herding Sect disciples,
It's no exaggeration to say that the road Ning Fan and others walked on was a path of white bones.
Yet despite such heavy casualties, they still didn't know where the boundary of this secret realm lies or how vast it truly is.
Everyone lost in the mist eventually turned into a wandering zombie.
Over ti, no one dared to allow their curiosity to lead to their death anymore.
After walking for about half an hour, Ning Fan increasingly found the journey boring,
Everywhere he looked was shrouded in a gray mist, monotonous and terrifying.
With ti, it even caused visual fatigue.
Ma Fei'er held her breath and concentrated, focusing all her attention on rembering the path.
Ning Fan, feeling bored, asked, "Lin i, how do you rember such a complicated path?"
"Walk it enough tis, and over ti, you'll rember it," Lin i explained, "The Corpse Herding Sect seldom ventures outside; it's usually us elders who operate externally."
"Then how do you handle necessities like eating and drinking?"
"Young Master Ning, you'll soon find out."
Seeing Lin i keeping him in suspense once again, Ning Fan didn't press further but instead asked, "Now, what experts remain in the Corpse Herding Sect?"
"No experts left."
Lin i shook her head bitterly, recalling the tragic deaths of the three great elders.
"Now among the four great elders, so are dead and so are disabled, leaving only thirty or so disciples."
Ning Fan found it hard to believe, "So few?"
Lin i smiled awkwardly, "The main focus of the Corpse Herding Sect is the nurous zombies."
"That's true."
Each of the four great elders can at least control four zombies. Even if ordinary disciples have only half the capability, the Corpse Herding Sect still has nearly a hundred 'people,' not a small scale.
"What about their actual strength?"
"All the disciples' strength is below the Aerial Mastery Realm. So zombies have power reaching the Initial Stage of Aerial Mastery."
Ning Fan silently calculated the battle formation of the Corpse Herding Sect, having already sentenced them to death in his heart.
At this mont, Lin i nervously asked, "Young Master Ning, will you..."
Ning Fan's gaze turned cold, and he said expressionlessly, "Do you pity them?"
"How could that be."
Lin i said softly, "There's not a single good person in the Corpse Herding Sect, they're all damned."
To obtain corpses for refining zombies, the disciples of the Corpse Herding Sect used many insidious ways.
To refine a corpse into a zombie, the person must have been ferocious, a fierce warrior with strong killing intent and vicious aura.
But in this day and age, such bodies are impossible to find.
Therefore, the disciples of the Corpse Herding Sect had to settle for second-best.
They would orchestrate a play, gradually cornering a normal person through a long setup.
In such psychological changes, so beca murderous and ruthless, others filled with resentnt and malice.
Then the disciples of the Corpse Herding Sect would take action, killing these people.
Using their resentnt and malice at the ti of death to increase the success rate of refining.
Behind each victim, there often ans an innocent family.
That's why Lin i said everyone in the Corpse Herding Sect deserves death, and it's not an exaggeration at all.
Ning Fan smiled aningfully, "Including you?"
Lin i nodded, saying firmly, "Indeed. Including myself, we all deserve death."
As one of the four great elders, she didn't need to worry about obtaining corpses, but countless n had died due to her yin-harvesting technique,
Although these n were deceived by lust, it was ultimately her seduction.
Her response left Ning Fan a bit surprised, and his thoughts slightly shifted.
"If she continues to be so cooperative, perhaps letting her go isn't a bad idea."
After a while, the silent Lin i suddenly spoke, "Young Master Ning, we're almost there."
Although he still couldn't see the outline of the Corpse Herding Sect's base, the mist ahead seed to dissipate slightly, and Ning Fan knew they were close.
When the mist completely lifted, and the field of view opened up, Ning Fan was stunned by the sight before him, "Is this... real or an illusion?"
Lin i appeared very satisfied with Ning Fan's expression, a hint of a proud smile on her lips.
Ma Fei'er, coming back to her senses, also found it hard to believe, "Am I seeing things? Is this really the base of the Corpse Herding Sect?"
Lin i smiled flatteringly, "Miss Ma, you are not mistaken."
Ning Fan truly couldn't believe that at the end of this stone path, such a scene would unfold.
From one glance, he could see it was a circular village.
In the exact center of the village was a building type resembling a courtyard.
With Ning Fan's eyesight, he could clearly see a plaque above the main entrance with the words 'Corpse Herding Sect' carved into it.
Rows of wooden bungalows, built circularly around the courtyard, seed to be protecting it.
Outside the wooden bungalows were neatly divided fields.
Sparkling ponds, fragrant grain fields, lush vegetable gardens, livestock pens with pigs and cows in clusters...
At this mont, there were even people laboring in these fields.
Ma Fei'er was montarily stunned; it was completely an Arcadia, nothing like she imagined.
"Shouldn't the base of the Corpse Herding Sect be a place like a purgatory?"
Ning Fan continually marveled in his heart, finally understanding why Lin i kept him in suspense,
For if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed.
In this secret realm, where corpse qi is everywhere, to see such vibrant life without a trace of corpse qi feels entirely out of place.
"Could it be another Life and Death Ground? Extre death, hiding a last breath of life!"
Ning Fan directed his gaze to the outermost edge of the village, a deep brown wall constructed in a circle around the village.
The wall was wider at the base and narrower at the top, resembling an overturned bowl, covering the entire village and completely isolating it from the invasion of corpse qi.
"Wait. These walls are..."
Ning Fan's eyes focused before he noticed the 'wall' surface seed to undulate like a living thing.
"These 'walls' seem to be congealed corpse qi?"
Hearing Ning Fan's doubtful tone, Lin i flattered, "Young Master Ning is correct. The 'walls' look like walls, but they are actually corpse qi."
"Is there a barrier protecting the village? Is that why the corpse qi accumulates outside?"
Seeing the walls, with corpse qi so dense that even the color turned deep brown.
