"The corpses! They're the stolen corpses! Damn it, so it was the [Akatsuki] organization!!" The Thousand Mountain Valley Sect Master's expression turned extremely grim.
Hearing his muttering, everyone froze briefly before realizing something as well. The theft from Thousand Mountain Valley's Ancestral Land had caused an enormous uproar back then, yet the true culprit had never been found. Now, these five people had suddenly appeared and jointly used Thousand Mountain Valley's ultimate arts. Combined with the Sect Master recognizing their faces, it was almost certain that they were the stolen corpses.
"Zero Burial, the leader of the [Akatsuki] organization, has the ability to control corpses. There's a good chance he did this!" Prince Rong of the Land of Earth said.
"This seems somewhat different from before. Those corpses used to be called the Six Paths of Pain, and their eyes were all pale-purple ripple-patterned Rinnegan. But these five have completely black eyes, not Rinnegan. Moreover, the Six Paths of Pain's abilities were fixed; they couldn't use the techniques the corpses had possessed in life. Yet these five can use an ultimate art like Qianshan Guard. This doesn't seem to be Zero Burial's usual method of corpse control!" Princess Tianxiang of the Land of Gold said softly, frowning.
"You're right. This situation does seem rather strange!" Zhou Hui said, his brows tightly furrowed as he watched the distant battlefield.
But regardless of the circumstances, Thousand Mountain Valley could no longer endure it. Their ancestors had already been controlled and thrown into the battlefield—how could they, their descendants, possibly remain in the imperial palace and watch the show?
As he spoke, the Thousand Mountain Valley Sect Master led the elders and disciples of his sect charging out. No matter what, he had to bring those five corpses back.
