I stood in the carriage and didn't move. Although I had originally planned to secretly follow him, now that I had been exposed, I didn't need to conceal myself anymore. I stood there as I converted the pure Yang Karmic Fire into Dao Qi and absorbed it into my body. At the same time, I waited for the young man with the surname Wei to come over.
I had dealt with the middle-stage zombie, so I didn't need to worry about this corpse breeder at the early stage.
However, to my surprise, after the carriage stopped, the Dao energy from the young man surnamed Wei didn't move closer to me. Quite the contrary, it moved further away from me.
I was a little dumbfounded. That fellow was decisive. As soon as he found that something was wrong, he didn't even try to fight me. He just turned around and ran.
It was rare to see such a despicable person in the Metaphysics world.
This time, I didn't have time to absorb the pure Yang Karmic Fire. I kicked the door open and chased after that man.
As for the whereabouts of my parents' remains, I would have to rely on this person to uncover the mystery. Moreover, I had killed this person's zombie. Who knew if he would come to take revenge? After experiencing Lu Zhenyang's matter, I had developed a cautious personality.
I decisively made a quick hand seal and jumped out of the carriage. I ran as fast as I could. My cultivation base was much higher than his, so I thought I could catch up with him.
However, half a minute later, I gawked. That man's speed was frighteningly fast. When I jumped out of the carriage, he was only a few dozen meters away from me. However, I had been chasing him for more than a minute. Not only had I not shortened the distance between us, but I had also fallen further behind.
That corpse breeder must have some secret technique to increase his speed. Otherwise, with his cultivation base, he couldn't be faster than me.
While I was at my wit's end, Tong Tong's voice arose in my mind. "Brother, I'll help you chase after him."
I was bewildered. Tong Tong's body had recovered that fast?
Before I could ask, Tong Tong turned into a jet of black energy and flew out of the jade bracelet. She directly chased after the corpse breeder.
Her speed astonished me. I couldn't even see the black aura that she had transformed into. I turned into a black ray of light and shot out like lightning. It only took a few seconds to cover a distance of a hundred meters. She had actually caught up to me.
After she came to a stop, she reverted to her original form. She raised her hands slightly, and two thin streams of snake-like black Qi surged forth from the tips of her middle fingers. Like two black chains, they shot toward the Corpse Breeder with the surname Wei.
The corpse breeder wanted to dodge and run. However, the speed of the black energy was just as fast as Tong Tong had shown. Before the corpse breeder could react, the black energy had already coiled around his ankles.
Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the Corpse Breeder stopped moving. He suddenly took out a black skull-like object from his hands and threw it into the air. At the same time, he spat a mouthful of blood on the withered skull.
After being stained with blood, the skull suddenly burst out with a blood-red glow and directly exploded in front of Tong Tong.
My heart tightened. I was worried that something bad would happen to Tong Tong. I quickened my pace and dashed toward her.
At this moment, Tong Tong waved her hand, and a thin black light curtain appeared in front of her to block the skull's explosion. Then, the black threads between her middle fingers moved faster. In just a blink of an eye, they extended from the corpse breeder's feet to his body. Not only did they bind his body, but they also bound his hands.
When I arrived, the corpse breeder was tied up like a rice dumpling. He was lying on the ground, his face full of humiliation.
I was overjoyed. Spirits and zombies, when compared to people of the same level in the metaphysics world, were actually slightly inferior. This was because they could only rely on their natural talents and didn't have any divine powers. Humans, on the other hand, had too many divine powers that they could use. For example, the Pure Yang Fire that I had just used. Not to mention a zombie of the same level as me, I was confident that I could fight against a zombie at the peak of the Pressure Point Realm or even at the Glory of Consciousness realm.
Therefore, although Tong Tong's realm was higher than the corpse breeder's, I was still a little worried. However, I didn't expect that Tong Tong would be able to deal with him so easily.
I stopped and squatted down. Just as I was about to interrogate him, he asked with an unconvinced expression, "Fellow Daoist, you have a good plan. First, you attacked my corpse puppet, then you attacked me. Hmph, since when did the Ghost Breeder Sect have the guts to attack a disciple of the Corpse Sect?"
I was surprised. Then, I understood that it was because of Tong Tong that he thought I was a member of the Ghost Breeder Sect.
However, what is this Corpse Sect he mentioned?
Is that the name of their Corpse Breeder Sect?
My heart became heavy. I had considered this problem before. If the corpse breeder was the only one selling corpses, then it wouldn't be difficult to find my parents' remains. However, if this person represented a sect, then it would be hard to say. The difficulty of finding my parents' remains would increase by several levels.
"A corpse breeder at the early stage of the acupoint sealing realm sure talks big. Even if you and your corpse puppet are together, what can you do?"
As I spoke, I gathered my Dao energy and revealed my middle stage acupoint sealing realm cultivation.
The corpse breeder surnamed Wei finally shut his mouth and didn't say anything else.
Tong Tong's cultivation was at the late stage of the acupoint sealing realm, and I was at the middle stage of the acupoint sealing realm. He and his corpse puppet, one at the early stage and the other at the middle stage, were simply not enough.
I lowered my head and coldly asked him, "The people of your Corpse Breeder Sect brought back corpses from the crematorium to refine them into corpse puppets, right?"
The corpse breeder pondered for a moment and then sneered. "It's true that your cultivation is higher than mine, but your Ghost Breeder Sect is only a subordinate sect of our Corpse Sect. If you delay the selection of corpses and the sect investigates, you won't be able to bear the consequences with your cultivation."
These words made me frown. The Ghost Breeder Sect is a subordinate sect of the Corpse Sect?
How come I have never heard of it?
In the world of Metaphysics, I have never heard of this Corpse Sect. However, the Ghost Breeder Sect is quite famous and they have a Heaven's Master realm Grand Supreme Elder. Why would they be a subordinate of the Corpse Sect?
I didn't believe him and felt that this person was just trying to scare me.
Thus, I sneered and said, "What Corpse Sect? I wonder if the Grand Supreme Elder, Liang Tianxin, would agree to be your subordinate sect?"
"Liang Tianxin?"
The corpse breeder also laughed. "Summer insects can't talk about ice. Yes, he is the Grand Supreme Elder, but what does he count for in our Corpse Sect?"
I was a bit intimidated by him. After pondering for a moment, I decided not to argue with him anymore and directly asked, "I'm not interested in your sect's matters. I just want to know, last month, or the month before last, were you the one who came to the crematorium to collect corpses?"
He nodded. "Of course it was me."
"Good, then I'll ask you again. Did you see the corpses of an old couple at that time?" After asking, I gave him a rough description of my parents' appearance.
The corpse breeder sneered again. "When we choose corpses, we only look at the material. Who would pay attention to the appearance?
Even if there were corpses of this old couple, so what?
What can you do to a person chosen by our Corpse Sect with your small acupoint sealing realm cultivation? "
At this time, I finally felt that something was wrong. At this time, his life was completely in my hands, so where did his confidence come from?
Could it be that this Corpse Sect was really some kind of great hidden sect?
In reality, there were many hidden sects that were even more frightening than the ones on the surface, but so what?
No matter how strong the sect was, what did it have to do with this corpse breeder surnamed Wei?
There were too many lice, there was no itch.
I had already offended the Lu Family, so what if there was another Corpse Sect?
My heart became even colder. This person didn't know the difference between life and death, so I could only kill him and search his soul.
This matter was related to my parents, so I didn't care about killing this person. However, the only problem was that the Soul Searching Hand Seal wasn't omnipotent. If there was a restriction in the other party's soul, there was a chance that the Soul Searching Hand Seal would fail.
If that happened, the clues would be cut off, and it would be hard to say if I could find the Corpse Sect again.
