Chapter 20: Heaven's Wrath and Earth's Fury (Part 2)

  Upon seeing the ring on the black-clad man's finger, Qin Yifan finally knew which one the person in front of him was.

  Originally, Qin Yifan had always thought that only the old brother in the lake would be so helpful and that he was the only one who could use his divine powers silently. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be that corpse.

  The corpse was controlled by a special technique and could be used as a very good treasure. Qin Yifan had already had a very intuitive understanding of this after seeing the dead person and listening to Lin Qiulü's explanation, but a thousand-year-old corpse that no one controlled stood in front of him, and it could still speak, and it could know its own thoughts very accurately, which was beyond Qin Yifan's imagination.

  It's not just Qin Yifan, even Lin Qiulü is quite puzzled by this phenomenon. Although she has inferred from some clues that it should be the corpse that is causing trouble, she never thought that a thousand-year-old corpse could move freely without anyone controlling it. So, despite her suspicions, she didn't dare to confirm.

  The mystery has been solved, and it is indeed that corpse. However, no one can explain how the corpse can move on its own without anyone controlling it. What's even more terrifying is that the corpse seems to have consciousness, can speak, and communicate.

  The two of them stared blankly at the thousand-year-old corpse that should have been buried underground, but it stood still in front of them. All three of them could speak, but no one said a word. In fact, Qin Yifan and Lin Qiulü didn't know what to say for a moment, while the corpse obviously wouldn't take the initiative to speak. But it was clear to everyone that this corpse had no malice towards Qin Yifan and Lin Qiulü. Was it repaying them for letting her rest in peace?

  The quiet scene lasted for a while, and finally, Lin Qiulü felt that she had nothing to do with this matter, so she told Qin Yifan that she would go back to the inn to take a look, and left alone, leaving only Qin Yifan and Yin Shi.

  To be honest, Qin Yifan was facing a corpse like this for the first time. He was someone who had come through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, so he wouldn't be afraid of a corpse, but he felt something was very strange.

  "He... hesitated for a moment, Qin Yifan still asked: "How did you move?"

  "Control... corpse... big... law!" The uncomfortable voice came again, intermittently. It seemed she wasn't very good at using language as a tool, and it sounded quite awkward. At the same time, accompanying her words, she stretched out her hand and showed off the ring that Qin Yifan had put on her at the time.

  If someone told Qin Yifan now that pigs can climb trees, Qin Yifan would definitely not doubt it. If a thousand-year-old corpse could move and sit, what kind of immortal tiger or dog was impossible? I don't know how this yin corpse was controlled and maintained by those people, but surprisingly, there wasn't even a hint of that disgusting corpse smell. But Qin Yifan obviously wouldn't care about these small things; he only cared whether his thoughts could be completely sensed by this yin corpse.

  "Do you understand what I'm thinking?" Qin Yifan pointed to his own head, asking the corpse. He was very unaccustomed to this way of speaking, as if he wasn't communicating with a person.

  "You... intense... disgust... kill." The corpse wasn't very good at expressing itself, only using a few simple words. However, Qin Yifan understood its meaning, that only his own intense disgust and murderous intent could be felt by the corpse.

  Upon hearing this news, Qin Yifan felt a bit better in his heart. At least it wasn't his own thoughts that were starkly presented to others, not even if he were dead.

  Then there was another burst of frequent communication, and Qin Yifan finally figured out how the corpse could move freely and even show off its magical powers here.

  Yin corpses were originally cultivators of the Tao, no, or should be called demonic Taoists. These demonic Taoists select girls with nine yin veins born at the time of yin in places where nine yins gather. At the age of eighteen, during the most yin moment, they seal their souls alive in their corpses at their birthplace and refine them through special means for many years to form.

  But the girl with this physique and birth is a coincidence, can be met but cannot be sought. The subsequent refining process is even more arduous, requiring not only the blood of countless girls, but also the grievances of these girls, combined with some rare refining materials, as well as other array techniques and spiritual incantations, in order to form a corpse with a body as hard as steel. After the corpse is fully formed, it will be impervious to swords and guns, water and fire, and can move freely between heaven and earth, capable of anything.

  Unfortunately, the person who refined the yin corpse was unable to control it. The production of a yin corpse required at least several generations of hard work before it could be slightly effective. Although this one had already been around for thousands of years, the true mastery of the Corpse Control Great Technique was still less than a hundred years old. And that guy who was suffocated to death underground and didn't even bother to reveal his name, had already made a name for himself in the cultivation world with his thousand-year-old yin corpse.

  All things in the world have spirits, and for a thousand years, his own soul was sealed in his own corpse. Even if he had lived for a thousand years, he would still be an old ghost. However, he was controlled by the Great Necromancy, unable to act on his own, and could only be manipulated by others without any resistance.

  Although there are not many people who practice the art of controlling corpses, there are still a considerable number of them. However, they do not have good luck in finding a thousand-year-old corpse, and most of the time they will choose ordinary hundred-year-old zombies or other ordinary corpses. For nearly a thousand years, Qin Yifan has been the only one to possess a thousand-year-old formed yin corpse, and no one knows that yin corpses can have their own essence and still maintain their consciousness.

  Although the controller died, the medium of the corpse-controlling technique, the ring, was still on his body. Therefore, even if the corpse had its own consciousness, it could not control its actions. Until Qin Yifan, with the intention of letting her rest in peace, gave her a free body and put the ring on her finger, she was completely freed.

  Following those who practiced the Corpse Control Great Technique for thousands of years, the techniques had long been deeply rooted in the soul and consciousness of the corpse. The essence of the Corpse Control Great Technique was still to continuously enhance the corpse's Yin evil cultivation while practicing control, causing the corpse to become stronger and more ferocious. With her pure Yin physique and over a thousand years of Yin evil cultivation, in this uniquely ominous place, within ten days, she had completely shaken off the ring's control and could move about freely.

  When Qin Yifan returned the ring, the corpse also sensed a hint of Qin Yifan's consciousness through physical contact. After all, it was a soul that had been sealed for thousands of years, with incomplete mental faculties; whoever treated her well would be treated well by her in return. That's why those people went missing...
