Mortal: The Number One playboy of the Chaotic Star Sea

Chapter 192 Refining the Heavenly Capital Corpse

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Refining the Heavenly Capital Corpse Puppet is quite troublesome."

Qingfeng looked at the four hideous corpse puppets in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.

For the past three days, he has been refining the legacy of Extreme Yin. With the blessing of the Profound Yin Scripture and the help of the Profound Bone, the refining speed of the Heavenly Capital Corpse Puppet is extremely fast.

"If the young master were a Nascent Soul cultivator, he could refine these corpse puppets in a short time."

Xuan Gu, in ghost form, floated in the quiet room and spoke.

"Indeed, the gap between Core Formation cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators is still too great."

Qingfeng nodded.

If these corpse puppets were refined by the current Xuan Bone, it would only take an hour.

"Young Master, three days have passed, and the Wang family has still not delivered the medicinal herbs and supplies. I suspect something big is happening on Dongli Island; we should leave as soon as possible."

Xuan Gu reminded him.

"That's right."

Qingfeng stood up, retrieved the Xuan Bone, then put away the Heavenly Capital Corpse Puppet and the isolation array, and walked out of the quiet room.

Outside the quiet room, Qingfeng spread his divine sense and saw several Foundation Establishment elders of the Wang family.

At this moment, they were all in the main hall of the mansion.

Wang Ge, an elder who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, sat around the table with three other elders who were in the late Foundation Establishment stage. Each of them had an extremely unpleasant expression.

"Is that really what the head of the family said?"

Second Elder Wang Yuan's voice was hoarse, and his fingers holding the communication talisman turned slightly white.

"This message was sent by the patriarch using a secret method; it cannot be false."

Wang Ge placed the now-dimmed communication talisman on the table.

"The island lord has defected to the Reverse Star Alliance, and now there are Core Formation cultivators from the Reverse Star Alliance lying in ambush within the island lord's mansion. Several leaders of forces belonging to the Star Palace branch were killed on the spot."

"That scoundrel! As the island lord appointed by the Star Palace, he dares to betray the Star Palace and defect to the Reverse Star Alliance!"

The Third Elder, Wang Yan, slammed his hand on the table, making the teacups clang loudly.

"What's the point of saying all this now?"

Fourth Elder Wang Bai's face was gloomy.

"The key issue is that the patriarch is currently trapped in the island lord's mansion, and we need to find a way to rescue him."

"Heh, saving someone?"

Wang Yuan gave a wry smile.

"How can we save them? Second brother, listen to the last sentence in the family head's message: 'Don't worry about me, immediately lead the clansmen to evacuate Dongli Island.'"

The patriarch even abandoned the idea of ​​asking us to rescue him, which shows how dangerous the situation at the island lord's mansion was.

"But……"

Wang Yan gritted his teeth. "Are we just going to stand by and watch our patriarch fall into the hands of the Reverse Star Alliance?"

Wang Ge remained silent, staring intently at the communication talisman on the table.

After a long while, he raised his head and glanced at his three brothers.

"The patriarch is right, our top priority now is to protect our people. But as for saving them... it's not entirely impossible."

All three of them turned to look at him at the same time.

"Fifth brother, what's your idea?"

Wang Bai asked hurriedly.

Wang Ge did not answer directly, but turned to look at the back of the hall.

That's the direction of Qingfeng's quiet room.

"If that Senior Feng could lend a hand..."

Upon hearing this, the hall immediately fell silent.

"Fifth Brother, although that Fellow Daoist Feng possesses profound cultivation, he is, after all, an outsider. Why should he help us in such a dangerous situation?"

Wang Yuan frowned.

"Yes, and even if he were willing to help, we have no idea how many Core Formation cultivators from the Reverse Star Alliance are at the Island Lord's Mansion. What if..."

Wang Yan also shook his head, believing that this would not work.

"I know, but this is our only chance. Are we just going to abandon the patriarch and run away alone? Our lifespans are almost over, and we have no hope of forming our core in this lifetime."

"Without the protection of the family head, even if the Wang family escapes and seeks refuge with the Qingyang Sect, what value would they have?"

Wang Ge looked at the other three and asked.

Silence fell over the room upon hearing his question.

Their Wang family relies entirely on their patriarch, a Core Formation cultivator. If the patriarch were gone, how would these mediocre old men lead the family members to survive in the chaos of the Chaotic Star Sea?

Just then, a steady footstep came from outside the hall.

"Hehe, everyone's here, which saves me the trouble of looking for them one by one."

The figure of Qingfeng, a rough-looking man in hemp clothing, appeared at the entrance of the hall.

He remained calm, seemingly oblivious to the somber atmosphere in the hall.

"Kaze-senpai!"

Wang Ge quickly stood up, and the other three elders also stood up and bowed.

Qingfeng waved his hand and walked straight to the empty chair in the main seat, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the four people.

"Have you all gathered all the necessary medicinal materials?"

Wang Ge quickly took out a storage bag from his bosom and presented it with both hands.

"Senior, we have acquired all the spiritual herbs that can be found in the city these days."

"There are a few ingredients that are simply in short supply, which is why I haven't been able to send them to you yet. Please forgive me."

Qingfeng took the storage bag and scanned it with his divine sense. There were seven or eight kinds of spiritual herbs, each with dozens of portions, and the quality was quite good.

"Hmm, not bad. You all look so serious, what happened?"

He nodded in satisfaction, put the storage bag into his sleeve, and then looked up at Wang Ge.

"I dare not hide it from you, senior; something has indeed happened."

Wang Ge and his three brothers exchanged glances, then gritted their teeth, stepped forward, and bowed.

He then briefly recounted the contents of Wang Chong's message.

"...The patriarch is currently trapped in the island lord's mansion, his fate unknown. Our cultivation is too low to rescue him; we implore you, senior, to intervene!"

After Wang Ge finished speaking, he bowed deeply.

The other three elders also quickly followed suit, bowing their heads and waiting for Qingfeng's response.

Qingfeng sat in the chair, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest, making a "tap-tap" sound.

He didn't rush to speak, and only opened his mouth slowly after a moment.

"It's not impossible for me to go to the island lord's mansion to rescue people. But before that, there are a few questions I need to clarify first."

"Excuse me, senior?"

Wang Ge looked up, hope igniting in his eyes.

"You say that the island lord of Dongli Island betrayed the Reverse Star Alliance and ambushed and killed the leader of the Star Palace branch."

Do you know how many Core Formation cultivators from the Reverse Star Alliance are currently in the Island Lord's Mansion?

Qingfeng looked at the four people and asked.

"The patriarch didn't specify in his message, but I imagine... there are at least three or four."

The four looked at each other, and Wang Yuan hesitated before speaking.

"Three or four? Dongli Island itself is not particularly powerful."

The island lord himself is only at the mid-stage of Core Formation, but since he dared to take action at this critical juncture and join the Reverse Star Alliance, the Reverse Star Alliance must have sent a lot of people.

There were originally seven or eight Core Formation cultivators on the island. Apart from the leader of the Star Palace branch who was killed, the remaining neutral leaders were imprisoned.

In the island lord's mansion, the island lord himself is one, and the reinforcements sent by the Reverse Star Alliance must number at least four or five to keep the situation under control.

Moreover, the cultivators sent by the Reverse Star Alliance are definitely not mediocre cultivators at the early stage of Core Formation.

They might all be in the mid-stage of Core Formation, or even the late-stage.

Qingfeng looked at them seriously and said.

Upon hearing Qingfeng's speculation, the four Foundation Establishment stage elders of the Wang family looked even more displeased.

"Actually, the Reverse Star Alliance might not necessarily make things difficult for your Wang family head. He imprisoned the leader of the neutral forces most likely to prevent the news from leaking out and to force him to join the Reverse Star Alliance."

Once the Reverse Star Alliance has completely taken control of Dongli Island, they will naturally release the people.

However, given the way the Reverse Star Alliance operates, they will most likely use methods such as the God-Suppressing Token to control you.

Qingfeng stroked his chin and speculated.

The four elders of the Wang family looked even more grim upon hearing this.

"Senior... what should we do? Please show us the way!"

Wang Ge, the Foundation Establishment elder who was the first to meet Qingfeng, knelt down and kowtowed.

The other three elders also followed suit and made similar requests.
