Chapter 52: Chapter 52 Blood Nourishing Corpse
Editor: Larbre Studio
“Aliens?” Lei Heng looked at Wei Wushuang, asking with a serious expression.
Wei Wushuang nodded slightly, walked over to Lei Kun’s corpse, and looked at the black blood on the ground, solemnly saying, “Lei Kun was not resurrected; instead, he was used by the Black Blood Clan as a Blood Nourishing Corpse to feed themselves.”
“Master, apart from the Human Clan, are there other tribes?” Hearing Wei Wushuang’s words, Lin Qian hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
Seeing Lin Qian’s curiosity, Wei Wushuang nodded, pointing to the black blood on the ground, “After hearing Lei Qian’s description, I had a vague suspicion in my heart. Seeing this black blood, I can fully confirm it is the work of the Black Blood Clan.”
“Black Blood Clan, as the name suggests, their blood is black. This tribe can inject their black blood into the heart of corpses, then use their clan’s secret technique to control the corpses.”
“After controlling the corpse, the Black Blood Clan controls it to devour the heart of its kind and drink its essence blood, enabling the corpse to regain some vitality.”
“Corpses cultivated with black blood are called Blood Nourishing Corpses by the Black Blood Clan. They can be controlled to fight with consciousness, and when cultivated to a certain extent, they can feed back to their controllers, enhancing their Realm.”
“Because it must be a complete corpse, and the stronger the corpse originally, the better the feedback effect will be, the Black Blood Clan often steals corpses from other tribes.”
“Therefore, the Black Blood Clan has a nickname, ‘Corpse Thieves!'”
After hearing this, Lin Qian looked at Lei Kun’s corpse on the ground in astonishment, gradually furrowing his brows, “Master, how does this feedback you mentioned work?”
“…” Lin Qian’s face turned somewhat grim as he shook his head repeatedly, “Is there really such a repulsive tribe in this world!”
“The Black Blood Clan is indeed an unlikable tribe. The Blood Nourishing Corpses they make with corpses are powerful and incredibly durable, though their only weakness is the heart.” Wei Wushuang said, pointing to Lei Kun’s corpse on the ground, “Uncle Lei Heng, you won’t blame my disciple for putting a hole in your grandson, right?”
Lei Heng sighed deeply, shook his head, and waved his hand, “I should thank Lin Qian, or else my grandson’s body might have been eaten by those Black Blood Clan people!”
“Coastal State is a remote area, but it’s near the sea in the southern interior of the Human Clan’s Territory. Why would there be Black Blood Clan people appearing here?” Wei Wushuang muttered softly, pondering to himself.
Qin Wushuang scanned the surroundings, looking serious, “Could it be that near our Wanxiang Sect, there’s a hidden, repulsive alien race?”
“Not necessarily. If someone acted on behalf of the Black Blood Clan, injecting black blood into the heart, they could also control the corpse and make a Blood Nourishing Corpse.” Wei Wushuang shook his head, unsure, “However, making a Blood Nourishing Corpse doesn’t always succeed.”
“From what I’ve heard during my wanderings outside, when the Black Blood Clan makes Blood Nourishing Corpses, they use many materials and prepare thoroughly to increase the chances of success. Using outsiders to inject black blood into a corpse has a low success rate.”
After listening to his senior’s words, Qin Wushuang pondered for a moment, “I think, Lei Kun becoming a Blood Nourishing Corpse wasn’t likely done by the Black Blood Clan personally.”
“I estimate that the person helping the Black Blood Clan injected the black blood into Lei Kun’s heart, found no reaction, and then planned to erase the traces.”
“Outside the Wanxiang Sect’s mountain gate, disciples are patrolling, so they obviously couldn’t burn the body, and the best way was to bury it on the spot.”
“This person ended up never expecting that after so many days, Lei Kun’s body actually succeeded.”
Qin Wushuang’s reasoning made a few people nod slightly.
At this moment, Lin Qian also spoke, “I developed a pill that makes people speak the truth after taking it, and Lei Qian and I learned from the disciples guarding the mountain…”
Among them, the most amazed was Lei Heng because he personally asked back then, but because of Liu Ming’s testimony, he didn’t trust it.
Qin Wushuang looked at Lin Qian with skepticism, not quite believing, “That pill was made by you? Impossible, right?”
“Uncle, why is it impossible?”
“Everyone in the Wanxiang Sect knows you, Lin Qian, besides cultivating, you’re a complete idiot in other professions.”
“Take alchemy, for instance. The pills you’ve refined are of no use except for filling one’s stomach, which infuriates the elders teaching alchemy, making them avoid you whenever they see you.”
“In artifact refining, you’ve also set a record. Elder Qi told me he had never seen a disciple learning artifact refining whose Primordial Weapon and Soul Device actually rejected soul power.”
“Array setups are even more absurd. The Spirit Gathering Array that elevates the concentration of spiritual energy and speeds up cultivation somehow causes cultivation speed to drop by tenfold after you set it up. Till now, Elder Fu still says he’s never seen such a genius disciple as you.”
“What’s even more amusing is that your alchemy pill furnace explodes, artifact refining furnace explodes, and array setup explodes, in short, constant explosions. You claiming you researched such magical pills, I’ll never believe it.”
Lei Qian, next to him, suddenly realized it, looking at Lin Qian in amazement, “So you’re the Explosion King from the outer sect!”
Wei Wushuang also burst into laughter, recalling how Lin Qian wanted to learn alchemy, artifact refining, and such skills initially, leaving clean every day and returning in utter darkness.
Later, the elders teaching skills in the sect sternly banned Lin Qian from entering their classrooms.
The continuous explosions left those elders truly unable to stand it any longer.
“…” Lin Qian’s mouth twitched, looking at his uncle who mockingly laughed at him, wishing he could go up and punch him.
“Near Bashan City, there’s a relic with many good things. I got this from there.” Having no other choice, Lin Qian had to make up an excuse.
However, Qin Wushuang still believed Lin Qian when he mentioned the guarding disciples’ confessions.
If it was indeed Lei Kuo who did it, then it could well explain why the perpetrator didn’t take the body away.
Because Lei Kuo was a disciple of the Wanxiang Sect, not having reported to the sect, he couldn’t leave the mountain gate for a long time freely, so naturally, he couldn’t take the body away.
“Looking at it this way, Lei Kuo probably colluded with Liu Ming to deceive me!” At this thought, Lei Heng was furious, “Back to the Wanxiang Sect, interrogate Lei Kuo thoroughly!”
“Uncle, interrogating Lei Kuo probably can’t be done.” Qin Wushuang chuckled bitterly, speaking to Lei Heng.
Lei Heng’s eyebrows knitted, looking at Qin Wushuang in confusion, “Why not?”
“Because Lei Kuo is already dead, killed by Lin Qian’s kid.”
“What?” Lei Heng widened his eyes, looking at Lin Qian.
Lin Qian spread his hands innocently, “I didn’t know beforehand that Lei Kuo was involved, and the boy asked me to stab his heart loudly, and seeing him so eager, I couldn’t bear to refuse, so I thrust my sword through.”
“Lei Kuo is dead, but there’s still Liu Ming. Let’s find a breakthrough with him.” Wei Wushuang also shook his head in a wry smile, speaking.
