Blood Puppets

1 Lin Mu sat on a mountaintop, surrounded by the aura of the Netherworld, making his entire body appear somewhat illusory.

If a martial artist were in front of him, it would feel even more eerie.

Because Lin Mu had no trace of human life about him.

It was as if he were an inanimate object.

Lin Mu can move freely, just like a living person.

A faint smile played on Lin Mu's lips.

As expected of the Nether Emperor's Secret Art, the method is truly ingenious.

After using this Secret Art, he completely concealed his aura.

Even if someone stands in front of him, they cannot sense his specific cultivation level or aura.

If he were to use a disguise technique, he could almost escape right under the noses of Seventh Tier Martial Artist.

Lin Mu took out a mask from his Space Bracelet and put it on, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Now that he can completely conceal his presence, he only needs to do two things next.

First, find the person behind it all. This person must be in the Blood Moon World, but we don't know where they are hiding.

Second, improve your cultivation level.

He has now reached the Fourth Order of cultivation, but his Divine Soul has not yet reached that level.

Once his Divine Soul reaches the Fourth Order, his combat power will definitely increase significantly.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Mu dashed forward.

Because the Black Saber King was quite familiar with the Blood Moon World, he naturally knew the location of the Blood Moon Palace.

Lin Mu continued along the path.

About ten days later, Lin Mu arrived at the outer perimeter of the Blood Moon Palace.

It was less a palace and more a giant fortress built of piled-up rocks.

The entire fortress was a pale blood red.

Each rock is shaped like a blood droplet, layered on top of each other, forming an impenetrable barrier.

It gives people a very incongruous feeling.

It may seem a bit cluttered, but it also has a certain sense of design.

It may be called simple, but the entire building is clearly not something an ordinary person could have built.

Just as Lin Mu arrived at this place, several figures walked towards him.

"New here?" asked a tall man with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Lin Mu nodded slightly.

Their eyes lingered on Lin Mu, their faces showing a hint of doubt.

Lin Mu's aura was very strange, like that of a dead man, and no cultivation could be sensed at all.

"What is your strength?" the leading man asked.

"What?" Lin Mu asked back.

"We are from the Blood Moon Alliance, and our goal is the same as yours: to breach this fortress. Therefore, we need manpower!"

"If you're strong enough, you can cooperate with us, and we can tell you the secret of this fortress!" the leading man explained.

Lin Mu's eyes narrowed slightly; these people in front of him were clearly from the academy.

I just don't know how long they'll stay here.

Moreover, Lin Mu did not believe that all the students in the academy were necessarily good people.

In such lawless areas, murder and robbery are very common.

"I don't have the habit of cooperating with people!" Lin Mu said.

The man nodded slightly and immediately said, "Although you don't have this kind of habit, this place is not for ordinary people!"

"Do you see that over there?"

The man pointed to a spot not far away.

On the east side of the fortress, several creatures that looked like humans could be seen.

They moved forward slowly, like Walking Corpses.

Lin Mu's pupils contracted slightly when he saw them.

These people still had some lingering traces of their aura.

They were clearly all Third-Order Martial Artist.

Lin Mu just didn't understand why they had become like this.

"What happened to them?" Lin Mu asked.

The man in the lead didn't say anything, but simply turned and left.

There was a hint of thought in Lin Mu's eyes.

He understood what the other person meant.

To obtain intelligence, one must join them.

This made him hesitate about whether to enter the Blood Moon Palace.

"Go in and take a look! Although the Blood Moon Palace is dangerous, it can accelerate your cultivation!" The Black Saber King's voice echoed in his mind.

Lin Mu was somewhat puzzled and immediately asked, "Why do you say that?"

"If you can adapt to the effects of the Blood Moon, the Blood Moon Palace will have a much smaller impact on you! Moreover, the most difficult part of the Blood Moon Palace is resisting its effects!"

"The Blood Moon Power inside is ten times that of the outside world!" Black Saber King.

There was a hint of surprise in Lin Mu's eyes.

Ten times!

If that's the case, then his Divine Soul will definitely be able to break through in a short period of time.

"Fortune favors the bold, and sometimes you have no choice but to take risks!" Lin Mu thought to himself.

He wants to break through his limits more than anyone else right now.

His eyes turned to the man, and he immediately spoke.

"I can join you!"

The man turned around, his face showing a somewhat indifferent expression.

"It's not like you can just join whenever you want!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mu rushed towards him.

Blood Qi gathered in his palms, and terrifying fist power surged forth.

Faced with this scene, the man's lips curled into a cold smile.

His body was constantly vibrating with Source Qi, and a powerful force emerged from it.

A roar like that of a lion or tiger came from behind.

The man's fist swung towards Lin Mu.

Boom!

A terrifying punch erupted at that moment.

Like dynamite.

The two collided, producing a tremendous roar.

The man retreated repeatedly, his eyes filled with horror.

He is Fourth Tier Martial Artist with 190 points of Blood Qi Value.

But in this case...

He was actually forced to retreat by Lin Mu.

He stared at Lin Mu, somewhat puzzled.

Is the person in front of me really at least 200 points of Blood Qi?

However, he didn't delve into it further, and a smile appeared on his face.

"That's interesting! You can join us!"

Lin Mu nodded slightly, then pointed to the Walking Corpses and asked, "What's going on?"

"It's all due to the Dragon Shadow within the Blood Moon Palace. Once entangled by the Blood Dragon, Divine Soul will dissipate, becoming its puppet!" the man explained.

"Puppet?"

"Indeed, the blood dragons are extremely powerful. They roam within the Blood Qi Palace, and one can easily become entangled with them if one is not careful!"

"Each blood dragon is equivalent to tens of thousands of times the light of the Blood Moon!"

Lin Mu's pupils contracted slightly. "This is equivalent to him being exposed to moonlight for hundreds of hours as long as he can refine a blood dragon!"

This made him somewhat tempted.

If the man knew what he was thinking, his lips would definitely twitch.

Those beings who appear like demons to outsiders are like tonics to Lin Mu.

"Besides that, what else is Blood Moon Palace?" Lin Mu asked.

"Blood Puppet!" the man said.

"Blood Puppet!" Lin Mu's eyes narrowed slightly.

"The Blood Puppet is the guardian of the Blood Moon Palace. Only by defeating the guardian can one enter the deepest part!" the man said.

"These Blood Puppet are at least at the Third-Order Martial Artist level, and they are extremely difficult to kill. As long as they are Blood Moon Palace, they can regenerate indefinitely!"
