Just after True Person Hanjiang had argued with himself.
The Bone Emperor immediately flew into a rage and suppressed True Person Hanjiang's own divine soul.
True Person Hanjiang's face once again took on the appearance shared by the undead cultivators.
The next second, True Person Hanjiang, under the Bone Emperor's control, strode forward and stepped into the Crystal Throne's formation area...
Outside the Traveling Palace, Shi Yuan and the other cultivators of the Illusionless Gu Sect stood guard at the entrance, waiting for the Bone Emperor to emerge.
Shi Yuan had long since lost his former splendor. His body, several men tall, was covered in wounds and scars left by Wolf King Valley.
He looked down at the Undead Armored Soldiers below, their faces rotting and their shells much like Shi You's, feeling somewhat displeased.
"Ah, since when did our Illusionless Gu Sect need these dead men to form an army?"
"Heh, junior brother, oh, junior brother. You're being far too narrow-minded."
"Don't you use yin souls to fight too? Didn't your elder brother Shi You only brush the threshold of a Fusion Cultivator by relying on a Fierce Spirit?"
The speaker was none other than Fu Tan, but he no longer possessed his former heroic bearing.
Instead, he looked like one of the Undead Armored Soldiers. Apart from the two red battle scars on his face, his features were so ruined that nothing else remained recognizable.
Where his nose and eyes should have been, there were no organs, only gray spirit power glowing like ghost fire.
Shi Yuan looked at Fu Tan, then nodded reluctantly. "Yes, Senior Brother Fu Tan did, after all, rely on the Bone Emperor's power to break through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage. Of course you'd speak up for the dead."
Fu Tan frowned.
