ening inside.At this moment, Ye Bufan had already opened his eyes. After the recent contemplation, he had a basic understanding of that grayish energy within Su Ruyu's Neidan Palace.Especially after E...After all that commotion, everyone's attention was on the person in charge, including Shangguan Zhuo.

Although he is the second-in-command of the Shangguan family, he would naturally not interfere in this kind of matter. Whatever the eldest brother wants to do, he will do it.

To him, killing a high-ranking official was no different than crushing an ant.

But just then, a sense of foreboding came over him, as if something terrible were about to happen.

Instinctively, he turned his head back to where his corpse puppet was. He saw Shangguan Hongqing standing right beside the golden corpse, one hand reaching into the back of the corpse puppet's head, doing something unknown.

"Qing'er, what are you doing"

Ye Bufan felt a pang of helplessness in his heart. He had been very careful, but he didn't expect the other party to notice.

It seems that the Jin Shi's vigilance far exceeded my own imagination. Although he stood there motionless, he could still convey a sense of crisis.

At this point, he could only quietly retract the beast-taming bottle into his storage ring, then bring back his right hand and say, "It's nothing."

Shangguan Zhu frowned. For some reason, he felt that his son was a little off today.

"It's nothing, you forgot the rules of our Shangguan family, no one is allowed to get within a meter of another person's corpse puppet."

The conversation between the father and son drew a lot of attention, even Shangguan Xiong, who was furious, glanced over at them.

"Dad, I'm sorry. I was busy with everyone just now and forgot this rule. I will pay attention to it in the future."

"Father When did you start calling me 'father'"

Upon hearing Ye Bufan's address, Shangguan Zhuo's puzzled expression grew even deeper.

In Xiangxi, "Aba" is the dialect term for father, and even ordinary families use it this way. There's nothing unusual about that.

But the Shangguan family was different. They had always considered themselves superior to others, always emulating what people in the mainland did, calling their father "father" instead of "dad."

This habit has been passed down in the Shangguan family for many years, but Ye Bufan didn't know it. He had only arrived here half a day ago and had been busy sweeping the floor and checking the terrain, so he didn't notice this detail at all.

On the contrary, he learned some local dialect from Long Xiaoyue and called her "father" (Aba), but it backfired. He ended up exposing himself instead of blending in.

"This... I called the wrong name without paying attention."

Ye Bufan stammered, this time he didn't dare to call the other party again. Who knew how Shangguan Hongqing usually addressed Shangguan Zhuo Was it father or Dad

Once is a mistake, but if he makes it again this old guy will definitely start to doubt himself.

Shangguan Zhu looked at Ye Bufan with a puzzled expression, but he couldn't see any flaws.

"What's going on You look like you're deep in thought."

He had already circulated his true qi to its limits, and would retreat immediately if anything went wrong.

With his current cultivation level, he couldn't even stand against a single Golden Corpse, let alone two. Those two were comparable to the existence of Heaven Stage masters.

Before Shangguan Zhuo could say anything more, a young man from the Shangguan family’s younger generation rushed over.

"Master, something terrible has happened."

At his shout, all eyes in the room immediately turned to him.

Shengnan's face darkened, and he said in displeasure: "What's so urgent about it that you need to shout"

That person said anxiously, "When I ran to put out the fire just now, for some reason my corpse puppet wouldn't listen to me."

At the time, I didn't really pay attention, but after putting out the fire and going back to take a look, I realized that my corpse puppet had died. It was completely dead.

"The corpse puppet is dead"

Hearing this, Shangguan Xiong jumped in fright, "Are you sure you didn't see wrong That's a third-rank silver corpse!"

That person said, "I'm certain I didn't missee it. Not only did the corpse puppet lose contact with me, but all the magic power I had previously refined vanished completely. It has become an ordinary corpse, and is even starting to smell rotten."

“This is bad, my corpse puppet just lost contact with me too. I thought it was just a minor issue…”

"No, I have to go back and take a look. That's my second-rank silver corpse! If it really dies, it would be over for me..."

"It's over, it's over, Master. My corpse puppet is dead too…"

As soon as this person spoke, the crowd erupted in a frenzy, even more chaotic than when they were putting out the fire.

Some were core disciples of the Shangguan family who did not bring their corpse puppets. Some were those who discovered that their corpse puppets were wrong and rushed back from outside to report it.

At this time, Shangguan Zhuo also discovered something unusual and leaned into Shangguan Xiong's ear, whispering: "Big brother, haven't you noticed that the corpse puppets here are not quite right"

Besides our two golden corpses, there wasn't even a single silver corpse.

Originally, Shangguan Xiong was troubled by his wife and son. It wasn't until Shangguan Zhuo reminded him that he realized this.

Although hundreds of core disciples from the Shangguan family were present, at this moment, they had only brought one bronze corpse, not even a silver corpse.

This caused his heart to sink. As a large family, the children who possessed silver corpses were their strongest fighters, almost making up more than half of the Shangguan Family's strength.

If all these Yin Corpses were to die, the Shangguan family would be finished. Not only would their strength be greatly diminished now, but their future would also hold no hope.

"What's going on Could it be the Zhu family playing tricks"

He immediately thought of Zhu Yujia, after all, there are only a few powerful families in Xiangxi. There are people from their family in Guwangzhai, and the Guwang hasn't returned yet.

"Impossible, Zhu Yujia's Zhu Yu Shu might be powerful, but it's not strong enough to destroy our Yin Shi."

Shangguan Zhu frowned and said, "So many Yin corpses were destroyed in such a short time, which shows that the other party is very powerful, and they must have infiltrated our Shangguan family, otherwise they would have been discovered long ago."

Suddenly, he had a flash of insight and realized something was wrong. He turned his head and shouted, "That man just now wasn't my son Shang Hongqing, it must be an inside traitor pretending to be him! Quickly arrest him!"

At this moment, Ye Bufan had already quietly reached the edge of the crowd amidst the chaos. However, he realized that he was still discovered.

He grabbed a young member of the Shangguan family and hurled him toward Shangguan Zhuo, then leaped into the air and sped down the mountain.

"As I thought, you've infiltrated our ranks. Where have you taken my son"

Shangguan Zhu was furious, and he took the Shangguan family members and his golden corpse to chase after Ye Bufan's escape direction.

Shangguanxiong hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not move. He was afraid of falling into Zhu Youjia's trap of using the tiger to drive away the mountain, so he stayed behind to guard.

In his view, having just the younger brother should be enough to deal with this infiltrating mole.

Those disciples of the Shangguan family who followed Shangguan Zhuo were not very skilled in cultivation, and light body techniques were not their forte.

After several takeoffs and landings, he was left far behind, alone pursuing him.

Ye Bufan and the other person had already made an escape plan before this. Once they were discovered, they would immediately leave this place.

Reaching the bamboo hut halfway up the mountain, he pulled up Long Xiaoyue who was already waiting there. The two of them fled together down the mountain.

After the recent fire, all of Shangguan's core disciples had gathered at the top. Their journey was remarkably smooth, encountering no obstacles along the way.

Occasionally, you encounter a few short-sighted servants, their cultivation is pitifully low, it doesn't affect their speed in the slightest.

Shangguan Zhu was proficient in necromancy, but he wasn't very skilled at speed and couldn't catch up with the two people for a while.

Seeing them about to escape the Shangguan family, he shouted loudly, "Release the gu!"y on the side of the younger generation.Longsun Wugong directly scolded: "Murong Chenglong, quickly make your grandson kneel down, maybe I can spare your life. At this point, you still want to covet o...
