Chapter 373: The Corpse Refining and Spirit Control Puppetry Art – Nine Yin Corpse Refining Elixir
Shen Mo shook his head. "No, that’s too much. At most, I can give you one demon emperor’s corpse."
Lin Dongtian also shook his head. "How about this? Let’s both compromise—four demon emperor corpses."
Shen Mo’s head shook like a rattle drum.
The two continued to negotiate.
Finally, they reached an agreement: Shen Mo would hand over two demon emperor corpses and three Golden Summit Demon King corpses in exchange for the spirit control method.
Both sides were satisfied.
Lin Dongtian quickly left with the demon corpses, fearing that Shen Mo might change his mind.
Shen Mo smiled faintly.
He truly only needed the spirit control method.
Because he was about to obtain an even better corpse-refining elixir.
…
As night deepened.
After a grand victory celebration, almost all the cultivators, except those on guard duty, had fallen into a deep sleep.
Cultivators could usually use their spiritual energy to dispel the effects of alcohol.
However, after slaying so many demons, there was no need to remain fully alert.
Sometimes, it was necessary to indulge and get thoroughly drunk.
In the darkness, a figure moved swiftly, entering the vast mountain forest.
His speed was incredible—one moment he was in the camp, and the next, he was hundreds of meters away.
Moreover, he didn’t alert anyone or any beast.
It was as if a drop of water had merged into the ocean, or a ghost had blended into the night.
After about half an hour, the figure stopped at a raised mound of earth.
There were many ruins scattered around.
Moonlight fell on the figure’s face, revealing Shen Mo’s features.
"This is the place. It was once the mountain gate of a sect in Mist Province."
"Now, it’s in ruins."
Following the guidance of his life panel, Shen Mo found a passage leading underground through the ruins.
After some
After a long while, the ground began to tremble slightly.
The demons couldn’t help but lift their gazes.
Sure enough, a dark line appeared on the southern horizon, gradually growing larger and revealing the figures of countless demons.
It was the triumphant main army.
At the forefront, on the imperial carriage, stood a figure clad in dark gold.
An aura of dominance radiated from him, making it impossible not to bow in submission.
Many traitors had surrendered simply because they had glimpsed Gu Ming’s kingly demeanor from afar.
Before the main army even arrived, the sounds of celebration and excitement could be heard.
Hu Yong and Xiong An even saw that the crystal throne of the South Sea King had been dug up and carried back.
Clearly, the battle in the South Sea had yielded great rewards.
However, they couldn’t bring themselves to smile.
Because they had to present the grim report from the northern front to Gu Ming.
Before long, the army arrived before the gathered demons.
Gu Ming stood on the imperial carriage, looking down at Hu Yong, Xiong An, and the others.
He smiled and said, "Why are you still kneeling? Rise."
Hu Yong and Xiong An didn’t dare to speak.
After a moment, Hu Yong respectfully said, "Father, this is the report from the northern front."
With that, he presented the report with both hands.
Gu Ming’s eyes flickered.
He instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
Gu Ming unfolded the report and quickly scanned its contents.
Ye Yan stood beside Gu Ming, not daring to peek at the report.
But his keen senses immediately detected the shift in the atmosphere.
Gu Ming casually clenched his hand, and a crimson flame erupted, instantly reducing the report to ashes.
His expression was hidden behind the dark gold armor, making it impossible to discern.
But the cold, icy gaze from his crimson eyes was unmistakable.
Hu Yong, Xiong An, and the other demons couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of fear.
