Chapter 428: Flesh Puppet!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Right now, the blood-colored fog shrouded the whole of Mars, enveloping it and filling every crevice. Outside the main Martian City, the blood-colored fog had already grown to be extremely concentrated.

This change garnered not only the concern of the Martian Colony Governor but also the Federation, which was closely watching the changes happening on Mars. Duan Muque, the President of the Federation, breathed hurriedly. He wanted to contact Mars, but communications were currently down.

However, he believed that regardless of the reason for this transformation on Mars, the Martian Colony Governor would have a way to suppress and resolve it. At the same time, he believed that it was possible to accomplish this goal based on Mars’ tradition.

What he and the Martian Colony Governor didn’t know was that this time, the target of the blood-colored fog wasn’t the main Martian City, but the new city!

That was the plot to kill Wang Baole made by the so-called State Preceptor, who had appeared as the black-robed man from underground, and who couldn’t carry out the kill with his own hands!

Even though he would exhaust a substantial amount of resources every time the blood-colored fog appeared, especially when the area it covered was so large, his desire to kill Wang Baole was also extremely strong. Therefore, no matter how much he had to give, he was willing to do it.

As a result, while the blood-colored fog outside the main city was extremely concentrated, it was even more so for the area surrounding the new city. It enveloped the entire area and instilled fear in countless cultivators. When they raised their heads, all they saw in the sky was the blood-colored fog. They were unable to look past it, and could only vaguely hear countless bizarre-sounding cries that arrived as the fog churned.

As everyone was gripped in shock, Chen Mu’s voice reverberated in the minds of all the cultivators who had been used as a host for the parasite. These Five Generation Sky Clan cultivators all trembled vigorously. In an instant, their gaze grew lifeless from a previously lively state. They also seemed to have lost control of their bodies, as they maintain the actions they were doing the moment before.

Blue veins could be seen clearly on their faces. They were perhaps not blue veins, but some sort of bizarre organism rapidly squirming in the bodies of the cultivators.

Those organisms had absorbed the cultivators’ life energy, their cultivation, and swallowed their flesh. As they awakened, they were unleashed. When they wriggled out of their bodies, they were seen as sticks. The cultivators’ bodies began to wither, turning into ash immediately. After that, a blood-colored seed emerged from where their heads had been before!

When the blood-colored seed appeared, it immediately flew at high speed into the sky. At the same time, beyond the skies, the blood-colored fog was surrounding the entire area and blocking the sun!

Initially, the changes that were happening would have caught the eye of the people in the other zones. However, the moment the blood-colored seeds charged towards the skies, a loud boom immediately emerged in Fang Jing’s autonomous zone.

What accompanied this explosive wave were countless blood-colored glows that directly rose to the skies. These blood-colored glows weren’t seeds but rays of lights!

Taking a closer look, at a position beside Chen Mu, in the location of Fang Jing’s autonomous zone, a loud boom emerged from the area that was originally a Public Square. Cracks immediately appeared in the ground, and as the cracks widened, a deep crevice was formed.

As the ground sank with a loud bang, a gigantic catacombs was instantly formed!

The blood-colored rays emerged from the catacombs. At the same time, roaring sounds could be heard in waves as countless ferocious beasts and corpses from the catacombs wriggled out while sneering crazily from within. As they spread in all directions, they destroyed every living thing in their path.

The catacombs was made by the black-robed man at Chen Mu’s request. Its goal was to cover up the deaths that were occurring in his zone, as well as the origins of the puppet. At the same time, it was directing all possible issues that could arise when the matter was being investigated towards Fang Jing!

The reason Fang Jing was chosen instead of Wen Huai was that it would be difficult to achieve success with Liu Daobin putting immense pressure on Wen Huai. Fang Jing only appeared to be abiding by the commands from Wang Baole and cooperating with the people that he had sent, which gave Chen Mu a chance to act. In reality, Fang Jing was extremely lax.

His plan worked at this moment. As the catacombs exploded, the ground of the entire new city shook, perfectly covering up the eccentric transformation happening to the parasite-host cultivators in his autonomous zone.

As the blood-colored rays rose into the sky, it confused the Five Generation Sky Clan cultivators who had parasites in them. Their flesh and blood turned into ash that rose into the sky, passing through the array formation and accumulating into the seed within the blood-colored fog.

All of these changes happened suddenly. The explosion of the catacombs, the deaths of the cultivators who were the parasite hosts, the blood-colored seed and light ray that rose to the sky, the destabilization and decay of the array formation... It seemed as if someone had abused their authority, resulting in signs that didn’t match up. Regardless, with the fog around, it was difficult to find out the exact cause. As long as the matter was handled properly, it wouldn’t be easy to investigate it in the future. Therefore, without any obstacles, a loud boom sounded. After that, blood-colored light rays and blood-colored seeds shot into the fog. In the skies, the blood-colored fog churned continuously, as if a giant was about to attack the city.

At the same time, the donkey’s situation was similar. Its body was trembling vigorously, and its eyes widened with severe disbelief. The numerous dandelions were reacting right now, sucking the donkey empty. The donkey, however, was somewhat unique. Perhaps it was because it had eaten the little boy’s arm in the catacombs, but its body didn’t turn to ash. Instead, as the large number of seeds were unleashed in its body, they were directly transformed into an astoundingly large seed!

Even though this seed was also blood-colored, its appearance was frightening. Once it was formed, it rose into the sky, and, like a bomb, it passed through the array formation and shot directly into the blood-colored fog!

As all the blood-colored seeds entered the fog, and as the array formation was destroyed, innumerable cries emerged from within the city. Kong Dao, Lin Tianhao, Jin Duoming, Wen Huai, and company were all taken aback. Instinctively, they began protecting themselves wherever they were.

That was especially so for Li Wan’er. At this crucial juncture, she didn’t lose focus. Instead, she immediately sent out a series of commands, which included supporting Fang Jing’s autonomous zone, as well as sealing the catacombs.

Right now, Fang Jing was aghast with shock. However, she reacted differently from how Li Yi behaved back then. At this moment, her eyes were bloodshot, and she didn’t retreat. Instead, like a maniac, she led everyone under her lead to resist the Beast Tide from the catacombs at full force in an attempt to buy time while waiting for help to arrive. At the same time, she took the initiative to allow her Dao guardians to try and seal the catacombs.

In the blink of an eye, the entire city was hard at work. Numerous cultivators charged towards Fang Jing’s autonomous zone, and at this time, Wang Baole also left his residence. He was extremely serious, as the changes that were happening this time felt peculiar to him. As he was trying to observe the changes at the entrance of the catacombs through the array formation to prevent the emergence of new catacombs, Wang Baole was suddenly taken aback. He turned his head and looked at the sky, and his eyes widened in shock.

At that moment, it wasn’t just Wang Baole, but all the cultivators in the entire city who collectively sensed something. As they raised their heads, they were all gripped with shock, with many instantly dumbfounded.

“That is... That is...”

“Heavens, what on earth is that!”

Everyone saw that, in the sky, as the fog churned, the shadow of a large object had vaguely appeared. That shadow seemed to be charging swiftly from within the fog. Finally, with a loud boom—amidst the fog’s violent churning—a gigantic python head emerged from the fog with eerie-looking eyes, directly clashing with the city’s array formation.

A loud boom reverberated, and the array formation broke in half. It looked as if it was unable to withstand impact any longer, and as the clash occurred, the entire body of the beast was seen clearly. It was an astonishingly large python!

It was blood-colored and seemed to be able to blend in with the fog. Its eyes revealed a look of madness and ruthlessness. When it was seen closely, one could see agitation and cruelty in its eyes.

That gaze belonged to... Chen Mu!

Even though Chen Mu was now in seclusion in his secret chamber, his consciousness had been transformed into the giant python as the blood-colored seeds entered the fog. It was as if it was directly drawn into the giant python, with the giant python becoming another body of his.

This feeling made Chen Mu extremely agitated. He was now completely sure that the black-robed man didn’t lie to him—he could have control over this puppet.

The appearance of the fog blocked all forms of communication, which gave him time to kill everyone he wanted. If he killed just Wang Baole, it would be too obvious and not seem like an accident. Therefore, he still had to kill Kong Dao, Lin Tianhao, and Jin Duoming. He even decided to kill either Wen Huai or Fang Jing, and also... Li Wan’er!
