Situ Nan muttered a few words. He knew that Wang Lin was very worried, so he didnât waste anymore time. âThere is still a bit of my soul essence left. I can help you teleport once, but only once, because if too much of my soul essence is used up, then Iâll disappear before you reach Spirit Transformation,â he said.
With that, Situ Nan didnât say anymore. Wang Lin suddenly felt a cold air enter his body. This cold air was overwhelming. It was many times stronger than the time he was teleported by the white light.
The cold air cycled through his body. Every part of his body that the air would pass through started to freeze. Wang Lin became like an ice sculpture and started to lose control of his attraction technique.
Zhou Peng noticed Wang Linâs change, particularly when Wang Lin stopped chasing him, but he didnât even dare to turn around. He began to move even faster.
When Wang Linâs body turned into an ice sculpture, Situ Nan shouted, âKeep your mind calm. Iâm about to teleport!â
Suddenly, dark swirls cycled through Wang Linâs body and, in the blink of an eye, his body disappeared.
Zhou Pengâs divine sense had been locked onto Wang Lin this whole time. When Wang Lin suddenly disappeared, he was stunned. Before he could even understand what had just happened, a black dot appeared 5 meters in front of him. The black dots split up into smaller black dots and each one them turned into a black swirl.
At the same time, Wang Linâs body suddenly appeared. The ice on his body quickly melted and he said, in a cold voice, âYou canât run away!â
Zhou Peng was shocked. His face became pale. He clenched his teeth and spat out a mouthful of green light. This green light grew until it became a giant python. He bit the tip of his tongue and spat out some blood. That blood turned into a bell. He rang the bell and the python grew even larger. Then, it swiped its tail at Wang Lin.
Situ Na said, with a lazy voice, âBrat, there is still a bit of my power in your body. It would be a waste not to use it. Iâm going to borrow your body and show you one of my famous techniques.â
With that, blue lights appeared from Wang Linâs body, forming a blue ball of light before him.
The moment the ball appeared, the sky darkened and a destructive force appeared. With a boom, the ball broke and sent out waves of destructive force.
When the wave touched the pythonâs tail, the ice traveled all the way to its head. The python fell to the ground, frozen solid.
Zhou Peng coughed out a mouthful of blood because of his connection with the python, but just as he coughed out the blood, the blood froze into red droplets. Then, Zhou Pengâs body also slowly froze, until he became an ice sculpture.
Situ Nan proudly said, âIt is unfortunate that there are no more people. This technique of mine works best when there is a lot of people. Hey kid, this is the power of the Underworld Ascension Method. Can you see how strong the cold energy of this technique is?â
Wang Linâs body moved. He caught Zhou Pengâs frozen body. Without stopping, he rushed away from the Heng Yue Mountain.
After finding an isolated place, he placed Zhou Pengâs frozen body to the side and asked Situ Nan, âIs Zhou Peng already dead?â
Situ Na slowly said, âThis little baby is not dead yet, but he is close. If you want him to die faster, you can just break the ice, then he will die for sure.â
Wang Linâs eyes lit up. After pondering for a while, he said, âBefore, you said you would teach me a puppet technique. Teach me that technique now.â
Situ Nan let out a laugh. He was very happy with how things were turning out. He hadnât told Wang Lin what the puppet technique was like or where it was from. Actually, this puppet technique was a demonic technique. He thought that Wang Lin was lacking killing intent. With his lack of killing intent, even if Wang Lin had ten lives, it wouldnât be enough to survive in the cultivation world. Situ Nan had been trying very hard to change Wang Linâs nature and it seemed he was finally having some success.
Situ Nan was very happy. âThis puppet technique must be performed by you. Iâll tell you how itâs done once you find a secluded cave,â he happily said.
Wang Lin grabbed Zhou Peng. He searched around until he found a cave and went inside.
Situ Nan slowly said, âIâll release the ice now. Zhou Peng is in a near death state. You must open up his body, take out his inner organs, and start refining them.â
Wang Lin was stunned. He hesitated for a bit, then said, âTake out his inner organs and refine them? Thisâ¦â
Situ Na secretly laughed and said, âThis is a necessary step for making puppets. If you canât do it, then I canât help you.â He secretly thought, âBrat, you have never seen blood, so how will you ever be bloodthirsty? This puppet technique is actually not this complicated, but this is a good opportunity to open your eyes a bit. Kid, you will definitely be my demon sectâs member. You canât escape it!â
While thinking that, Situ Nan quickly shouted, âIâm going to remove the ice. You have half an hour, so donât waste any time. Think about what he was planning to do to your parents.â
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 while. He thought that if he didnât solve this problem now, there will definitely be more problems in the future. He clenched his teeth and waved his hand over Zhou Pengâs body to cut it open. The strange thing was that there was no blood dripping out.
While suppressing his sense of nausea, Wang Lin followed the directions Situ Nan gave him. He was forming different seals with his hands as his divine sense focused on the task. This half an hour felt like a whole year. When Situ Nan proudly said it was over, Wang Lin couldnât help but rush out of the cave and puke.
Situ Na laughed. âGood. This first step is over. Now, this second step is the most important step. You must surround his body with your divine sense and refine it for 3 days and 3 nights. Once you do that, the puppet can be considered complete. You will need to perform some techniques during those 3 days. Iâll explain them one by one, so listen carefully.â
Wang Linâs face was pale as he bitterly nodded. He took a deep breath and returned to the cave.
