The Corpse Yin Sect Ancestor with Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivation, Wu Yu!

Guided by A-Dai, Luo Chuan and his companion soon arrived at the place where Wu Yu was hiding.

As the original founder of the Corpse Yin Sect, Wu Yu was now completely drained, his Nascent Soul appearing within a secret chamber shrouded in talismans.

These talismans were capable of masking spiritual sense, which was why the Corpse Puppet had failed to locate his exact position after Wu Yu's fall.

Wu Yu's expression shifted visibly as he looked at the stranger who had suddenly appeared; unable to discern the man's cultivation level, he could only offer a slight bow.

"I am Wu Yu, founder of the Corpse Yin Sect. Greetings, Fellow Daoist. May I ask who you are and why you have come to my hidden cave?"

Luo Chuan kept one hand behind his back, his expression indifferent. "This Seat is Luo Chuan, founder of the Hengyue Sect."

Upon hearing the name of the Hengyue Sect, Wu Yu's expression changed noticeably. He clearly knew of this thousand-year-old sect, but he was curious as to how the ancestor of the Hengyue Sect had become so young.

"Hengyue Sect... I haven't been there in hundreds of years. Back in the day, I was well-acquainted with True Person Tianlong of the Hengyue Sect. I never expected the sect to have withered so much, to the point where even its ancestor is nothing but a wet-behind-the-ears junior."

Listening to Wu Yu's words, Luo Chuan let out a cold snort in his heart and immediately released his spiritual power, instantly subjecting Wu Yu to an unprecedented sense of pressure.

Wu Yu looked up in shock, his expression frozen in a blank, stunned state, unable to believe his own eyes.

"This astonishing deterrent force... could it be... a Spirit Transformation Realm senior?!"

A-Dai immediately turned to look at Luo Chuan, his face filled with astonishment as well.

The Spirit Transformation Realm—that was an existence surpassing the Nascent Soul Realm.

It was said that such powerhouses only appeared in Level 4 cultivation nations, and they were extremely rare; every one of them was capable of shaking the world.

Wu Yu knelt on the ground, not daring to be the least bit negligent, and immediately kowtowed again, fawning, "Junior Wu Yu of the Corpse Yin Sect pays respects to Senior!"

"My eyes were dim just now, and I failed to recognize Senior's identity in time. I beg for your forgiveness."

Luo Chuan withdrew his spiritual power and glanced slightly toward the entrance of the cave. "That should be your Corpse Puppet, shouldn't it?"

Wu Yu naturally sensed the aura of his Corpse Puppet as well. He sighed and nodded in reply, "That is correct... it is indeed the Corpse Puppet I refined all those years ago."

"Under the constraints of the cultivation technique, a Corpse Puppet should never betray its master. Unfortunately, three hundred years ago, I brought him here, intending to use the yin-cold energy of this place to break through the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, but I failed at the final step."

"The Corpse Puppet took advantage of that opportunity to severely wound me, and while my mind was in turmoil, he escaped my control."

"At the time, I had to enter seclusion to heal, so I had no heart to pursue him. A century later, when my injuries had slightly improved and I went out to find him, he had somehow encountered a stroke of fortune, gained sentience, and had even reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm before I did."

"Unable to defeat him, my Nascent Soul left my body, and I barely managed to escape. My Nascent Soul was severely damaged, and ever since then, I have hidden within this statue, not daring to step out."

Wu Yu subconsciously clenched his fists, his eyes filled with rage at the puppet that had turned against its master.

"The Corpse Charm outside is my original physical body. I never expected that under the influence of the yin-cold energy in this Kumang Forest, it would also develop sentience. Sigh."

Luo Chuan shrugged, looked at Wu Yu, and said with a calm expression, "This Seat came here primarily for A-Dai, but A-Dai is reluctant to part with you and does not wish to leave with me."

"Senior, do you mean that you are willing to help this junior recast his physical body?"

Wu Yu asked, looking up in excitement.

Luo Chuan nodded, his tone remaining calm. "I will help you recast your body, and in return, A-Dai will become a disciple of this Seat. Furthermore, I require something from the Corpse Yin Sect."

Hearing this, Wu Yu knelt on the ground again and kowtowed without a moment's hesitation. "As long as Senior can help this junior recast his body, I will spare no effort. Whatever you desire, the disciples of the Corpse Yin Sect shall obey your commands."

Luo Chuan nodded with a faint smile and turned around gracefully. He waved his right hand forward, and the cave gate was instantly shattered by a burst of special energy.

With the destruction of the gate, the Corpse Puppet and the Corpse Charm in the sky sensed Wu Yu's aura and immediately flew over, glaring viciously in their direction.

The Corpse Puppet appeared out of thin air, looking at Wu Yu with eyes full of greed. "Hehehe, three hundred years. Master, we finally meet again."

Wu Yu clenched his fists and said angrily, "You were originally my Corpse Puppet! I never expected you to betray your own master!"

"Are you not afraid that my senior brother, Ye Zizai, will arrive and tear you, this ungrateful bastard, into ten thousand pieces?"

The Corpse Puppet laughed in disdain and said coldly, "Ye Zizai? Even his Corpse Puppet, the Flying Rakshasa, would have to call me Lord Zi. Do you really think he would help you survive?"

"Impossible!"

Ignoring Wu Yu's futile roar, the Corpse Puppet scanned the cave, his gaze eventually resting on Luo Chuan and the badge hanging on his chest.

"So, it's a junior from the Hengyue Sect. It seems I'll be able to eat two Hengyue disciples today; it wasn't a wasted trip after all."

"Corpse Charm, this pretty boy is yours. I need to devour my master's Nascent Soul to truly leave this place. As for the others, kill them all!"

Following Lord Zi's command, the Corpse Charm shot toward Luo Chuan without hesitation, clearly not regarding the two children as any threat.

Luo Chuan extended a finger and flicked it toward the incoming Corpse Charm. In an instant, a beam of deep blue light pierced through the Corpse Charm's skull without the slightest obstruction.

Seeing this, Lord Zi turned and fled immediately without a moment's hesitation. It was clear that in the worldview of Renegade Immortal, the first reaction to danger was not shock, but flight!

However, watching the direction in which the Corpse Puppet fled, Luo Chuan did not rush to pursue him. Instead, he slowly raised his right hand and made a grasping motion toward the void.

While A-Dai watched in confusion, the void in front of them was instantly torn apart. The fleeing Corpse Puppet was firmly seized by a pair of giant hands and dragged back into the cave.

Lord Zi begged for mercy, his face full of terror. "Spirit Transformation senior, spare me! Spare me!"

"Wu Yu, what would you like to do?"

Luo Chuan looked at Wu Yu's Nascent Soul and asked calmly.

Wu Yu flew over and hurriedly replied:

"Reporting to Senior, because of the bond between the Corpse Puppet and me, if the puppet falls, my soul will suffer heavy damage. Currently, I am only a Nascent Soul phantom; if the puppet were to be destroyed, my body would instantly dissipate."

"So, you want this Seat to erase his consciousness so that you can possess the Corpse Puppet's body once more?"
