When the family carried out missions, they always overlooked Li Tianming.
After all, the things he had done before were always a bit unreliable. Even if they emptied his storage ring, within a few days, his storage ring would again have new 'spoils of war.' He even had a trait, 'Head Collector,' so assigning him missions was always filled with too much uncertainty.
However, in Li Wei's view, this child, Li Tianming, was already trying very, very hard to integrate into the family.
Although most of the family didn't trust him, he still silently came to the most dangerous place to act as a spy. But most of the family didn't know that, after being exposed by Yu Xian at the Heavenly Secret Pavilion many years ago, Li Tianming had also become more cautious. He was already able to restrain himself from killing people during his undercover operations.
As for stabbing his clansmen in the back... this little bastard still occasionally thought about it.
.....
With the arrival of reinforcements from Azure Cloud region, a great battle erupted outside the border of the Starfall Region!
Prince Mi Zhunqi of the Starfall Region, with the help of Azure Cloud region, led the experts of the Starfall Region in launching the first wave of the counterattack.
But they did not sense that a strange force was operating!
Dawn!
This assassin organization, established by Li Yaowen and operating for over one hundred and twenty years, silently infiltrated the Starfall Region. This time, they were not there to kill.
A portion of them followed the experts of Starfall Region who were engaged in battle, silently hiding in the background, collecting the corpses of the dead.
They silently passed by places that had been damaged in previous battles, and all the corpses they passed were collected into their storage rings.
In a valley in Starfall Region.
This hidden place was filled with an overwhelming death aura, emitting a foul, rotting stench. From time to time, black-clad figures would appear here. Their storage rings would flash with light, and one corpse after another would fall into the valley.
These corpses would transform into black light and be absorbed by the silver coffin in the center of the valley.
[Heaven-Piercing Coffin, Fourth Layer: Boundless Sea of Death]
At this moment, Li Dalong was sitting cross-legged in the center of the Sea of Death. Around him, the smoke formed from the death aura transformed into roaming dragons, roaring in the sky.
Floating in the sky was a small coffin. Inside the coffin lay Xuan Tianzi, holding a spirit pearl in her mouth. Her aura had already reached the Mid-stage Nascent Soul! Those roaming dragons formed from the death aura madly crashed into her body, as if something terrifying would happen upon her awakening.
On the four sides of the Boundless Sea of Death stood four zombies!
They were Guan Ming, who had been beaten half to death outside the Merit City; the headless Grand Priest of the Spirit Jade Division, Guan Tian, Feng Qingyang, and the Supervision Office Commander Bai Yu.
"Two Heavenly Zombies have already been successfully refined."
Li Wei clicked on the information about these zombies. The Wu Clan Priest Guan Ming had naturally been refined long ago. This female Heavenly Zombie was now completely pale, wearing a white dress, truly ghostly. Pieces of tortoise shell, obtained by the Li family after killing experts of the Wu Clan, floated behind her like a halo, forming a circle. Around her were totems, swirling around her.
[Elementary Heavenly Zombie: Guan Ming]
[Evil Techniques: Eight Trigrams Spirit-Warding Technique (Predicts the opponent's use of Heaven and Earth energy one breath in advance), Evil Spirit Heaven-Imprisoning Technique (Uses tortoise shells that predict good and bad fortune and Wu Clan totems to borrow the power of Heaven and Earth to imprison enemies)]
This kind of half-dead, half-alive zombie, Li Dalong, can always make great use of them. This is also the unique effect of the supreme-grade spirit treasure, the Heaven-Piercing Coffin. The former Priest Guan Ming, now the zombie Guan Ming, is even stronger than before!
After they transform into Heavenly Zombies, some of their techniques from their lifetime will remain, and fuse with death aura!
As for Guan Tian?
The former Guan Tian was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. Li Dalong is far from being able to utilize Guan Tian's full power, and is even less able to control his Nascent Soul. Even with the help of the Heaven-Piercing Coffin, he can only unleash the power of Guan Tian at the Mid-stage Nascent Soul level.
[Mid-grade Heavenly Zombie: Guan Tian]
[Evil Technique: Ghost Mountain (Summons a mountain to battle using death aura)]
Even with only one evil technique, Guan Tian remains extremely powerful. The jade mountain at the former Spirit Jade Division stronghold was Guan Tian's technique. Now, he could still summon the jade mountain, except that the Heaven and Earth spirit energy within it had been replaced by death aura.
Guantian's head had long ago been used as a sacrifice for Li Kuangtu. Now, he is headless, wearing armor, and wielding two supreme-grade spirit artifact ghost-head broadswords, demonstrating his formidable combat power.
Besides these, there were two other corpses that had only recently been collected.
[Zombie Bai Yu: Currently being refined]
[Zombie Feng Qingyang: Currently being refined]
"Soon. In three years, my Four Symbols Death Spirit Formation will be complete. Once I summon the Sea of Death, I will be able to fight a High Priest single-handedly!"
Li Dalong's eyes gleamed. Those corpses fell into the Boundless Sea of Death, and the death aura flowed into the bodies of the two new Heavenly Zombies.
Probably, even old friends who were very familiar with Li Dalong had never seen such a sinister and strange moment from him. For the sake of Li Yaoqing, he once again did something against his conscience, indiscriminately bringing back the corpses of the dead, and refining the souls of the dead!
No one in Azure Cloud region knew.
This time, supporting Starfall Region, in the Li family's plan, one of the goals was to attract the attention of others, to allow Li Dalong to collect corpses for zombie refinement!
