Chapter 69 – (Untitled)
Situ Nan muttered a few words. He knew Wang Lin was very worried, so he didn’t waste any more time. “I still have a bit of my soul essence left. I can help you teleport once, but only once, because if I use up too much of my soul essence, I’ll disappear before you reach Spirit Transformation,” he said.
After that, Situ Nan didn’t say anything else. Wang Lin suddenly felt a chill enter his body. This chill was extremely powerful. Much stronger than when he was teleported by the white light.
Cold air flowed through his body. Every part of his body the air passed through began to freeze. Wang Lin became like an ice statue and began to lose control of his attention-grabbing technique.
Zhou Peng noticed Wang Lin’s change, especially when Wang Lin stopped chasing him, but he didn’t even dare turn around. He started moving faster.
As Wang Lin’s body turned into an ice statue, Situ Nan shouted, “Stay calm. I’m going to teleport!”
Suddenly a black vortex swirled around Wang Lin’s body and in the blink of an eye, his body disappeared.
Zhou Peng’s divine sense had been locked on Wang Lin the entire time. When Wang Lin suddenly disappeared, he was stunned. Before he could comprehend what had just happened, a black dot appeared 5 meters in front of him. The black dot divided into smaller black dots, each of which transformed into a black vortex.
At the same time, Wang Lin’s body suddenly appeared. The ice on his body rapidly melted, and he said in a cold voice, “You can’t escape!”
Zhou Peng was shocked. His face turned pale. He clenched his teeth and spat out a green light. This green light expanded until it turned into a giant python. He bit the tip of his tongue and spat out blood. The blood transformed into a bell. He rang the bell, and the python grew larger. Then, it swung its tail toward Wang Lin.
Situ Na said lazily, “Kid, there’s still a bit of my power in your body. It would be a shame not to use it. I’ll borrow your body and show you one of my famous techniques.”
With that, blue light emerged from Wang Lin’s body, forming a ball of blue light before him.
As the ball appeared, the sky darkened and a destructive force emerged. With a loud bang, the ball shattered, releasing a wave of destructive power.
As the waves touched the python’s tail, the ice flowed up to its head. The python fell to the ground, frozen.
Zhou Peng coughed up blood due to his connection with the python, but as he coughed, the blood solidified into red droplets. Then, Zhou Peng’s body also slowly froze, until he became an ice statue.
Situ Nan said proudly, “It’s a shame there aren’t any more people. This technique of mine is most effective when there are many people. Hey, kid, this is the power of the Underworld Ascension Method. Can you see how powerful the cold energy of this technique is?”
Wang Lin’s body moved. He caught Zhou Peng’s frozen body. Without stopping, he rushed away from Heng Yue Mountain.
After finding a secluded place, he put away Zhou Peng’s frozen body and asked Situ Nan, “Is Zhou Peng dead?”
Situ Na said softly, “This little baby isn’t dead yet, but he’s close. If you want him to die faster, just break the ice, and he’ll definitely die.”
Wang Lin’s eyes lit up. After pondering for a moment, he said, “Earlier, you said you would teach me puppet techniques. Teach me that technique now.”
Situ Nan laughed. He was very pleased with the final result. He hadn’t told Wang Lin what the puppet technique was or where it came from. In truth, this puppet technique was a demonic technique. He had thought Wang Lin lacked killing intent. With his lack of killing intent, even if Wang Lin had ten lives, it wouldn’t be enough to survive in the cultivation world. Situ Nan had been working hard to change Wang Lin’s nature, and it seemed he had finally succeeded.
Situ Nan was overjoyed. “You must master this puppet technique. I’ll tell you how once you find a secluded cave,” he said happily.
Wang Lin caught Zhou Peng. He searched around until he found a cave and entered it.
Situ Nan said slowly, “Now I will release the ice. Zhou Peng is near death. You must open his body, remove his internal organs, and begin refining them.”
Wang Lin was stunned. He hesitated for a moment, then said, “Removing his internal organs and refining them? This…”
Situ Na laughed secretly and said, “This is a necessary step for puppet making. If you can’t do it, then I can’t help you.” He secretly thought, “Brat, you’ve never seen blood, so how can you be so bloodthirsty? This puppet technique isn’t actually that complicated, but it’s a good opportunity to open your eyes a little. Kid, you’ll definitely become a member of my devil sect. You can’t avoid it!”
Thinking about that, Situ Nan immediately shouted, “I’ll get rid of the ice. You have half an hour, so don’t waste any time. Think about what he’ll do to your parents.”
With that, the ice surrounding Zhou Peng quickly melted and turned into blue light. The blue light returned to the Heaven-Defying Bead.
Wang Lin hesitated for a moment. He thought that if he didn’t resolve this matter now, there would definitely be more trouble in the future. He clenched his teeth and waved his hand at Zhou Peng’s body, trying to cut it open. Strangely, no blood dripped out.
Holding back his nausea, Wang Lin followed Situ Nan’s instructions. He formed various seals with his hands as his divine sense focused on his task. This half hour felt like a full year. When Situ Nan proudly declared that everything was over, Wang Lin couldn’t help but rush out of the cave and vomit.
Situ Na laughed. “Good. This first step is complete. Now, this second step is the most important. You must surround its body with your divine sense and refine it for three days and three nights. Once you do that, the puppet can be considered complete. You will need to practice several techniques during those three days. I will explain them one by one, so listen carefully.”
Wang Lin’s face was pale, and he nodded bitterly. He took a deep breath and returned to the cave.
