Chapter 1003: Chapter 1001: Corpse Puppet Siege

"You have a son named Xiao Chen, right?"

Dongfang Yanran began.

"Yes,"

Xiao Yuanshan nodded.

"Does Xiao Chen have a son?"

Dongfang Yanran continued.

"You mean the marriage arrangement is with my second brother’s son..."

Xiao Han said sharply, looking at Dongfang Yanran.

"Yes, my father had arranged a marriage with Xiao Chen long ago, to betroth me to Xiao Chen’s son, so I am here to fulfill the marriage arrangement. I do not know where Xiao Chen’s son is now, but I would like to meet him."

Dongfang Yanran spoke calmly.

"This..."

Xiao Yuanshan’s face shifted awkwardly.

"He has already been expelled from the Xiao Family; he is no longer a person of the Xiao Family."

Xiao Ding stated bluntly.

"What? Expelled from the Xiao Family?"

A flash of surprise crossed Dongfang Yanran’s eyes.

"Yes, he was indeed expelled from the Xiao Family, but I know where he is now. Are you sure you want to continue with the marriage arrangement?"

Xiao Han looked at Dongfang Yanran with a curious expression.

"Yes, it was my father’s dying wish, and I must fulfill it!"

Dongfang Yanran nodded.

"Lady Dongfang, please go back first. We need to discuss this matter, and we will give you an answer later."

Xiao Yuanshan spoke gravely.

"Alright, I hope to meet Xiao Chen’s son in person soon!"

Dongfang Yanran said before she turned and left the place.

Once Dongfang Yanran had left, all three of Xiao Yuanshan’s gazes flickered.

"I never imagined my second brother would have arranged such a marriage for Little Feeng. Seeing Dongfang Yanran’s extraordinary demeanor, she seems to have a significant status,"

Xiao Han commented lightly.

"His talent is exceptional, his strength formidable. Having traveled abroad before, he might have arranged this marriage with someone from a powerful clan or sect force, but he has never told us,"

Xiao Yuanshan said seriously.

"Father, we knew nothing about this marriage arrangement, and my younger brother never mentioned it. Do you think it’s authentic, or could there be some trickery involved? I find this Dongfang Yanran untrustworthy,"

Xiao Ding stated directly.

"I actually think this Lady Dongfang, with her innocent eyes, is unlikely to lie, and I feel she matches well with Little Feeng. Her demeanor and looks are definitely worthy of Little Feeng,"

Xiao Han said with a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Yes, she is quite remarkable. However, Xiao Han, you should still investigate her background a bit more, just to be on the safe side,"

Xiao Yuanshan instructed, looking at Xiao Han, who nodded in response.

In Jinling, hundreds of miles away, there was an extremely remote village.

But now, this village had an utterly lifeless aura, devoid of any vitality.

Xiao Yifeng and Jing Shangcheng appeared here; this was the location where Dragon Soul intelligence agents had spotted traces of the Corpse Sect.

"Why does this place have such a lifeless feel, where are the people in this village?"

Jing Shangcheng looked around, his gaze flickering.

"They are all dead."

Xiao Yifeng spoke solemnly.

"What? They’re all dead? But there were over a hundred people in this village, were they all killed by people from the Corpse Sect?"

Jing Shangcheng said with a grim face.

"Let’s go in and see."

Xiao Yifeng said, and walked directly towards the small village, Jing Shangcheng following him.

As they entered the village, it presented a scene of decay and abandonment, deathly still as if it had been deserted for a long time. There was no sign of people, which gave off a very desolate impression. Occasionally, a chilling wind blew through, making it seem like a ghost town.

"It seems like there’s something going on?"

Jing Shangcheng said with a serious expression.

At that moment, from within the void, a thick corpse energy suddenly spread out. Immediately following, the doors of the surrounding houses opened, and one by one, the villagers walked out.

However, these villagers all had vacant, dull expressions, and their bodies emitted a thick corpse energy—it was clear they were long dead, yet somehow still able to move.

In the blink of an eye, over a hundred villagers had emerged, all displaying the same characteristics: long dead but still able to move, their bodies exuding a thick corpse energy.

They all swarmed toward Xiao Yifeng and Jing Shangcheng, resembling a scene from a zombie movie with zombies besieging them.

"What is going on with them?"

Jing Shangcheng asked, his face serious.

"They were killed by the Corpse Sect and then turned into Corpse Puppets!"

Xiao Yifeng said in a deep voice. Xiao Han had told him before that the Corpse Sect was particularly adept at absorbing corpse energy for cultivation and turning corpses into Corpse Puppets for attacks.

"Corpse Puppets! The people from the Corpse Sect actually turned a whole village into Corpse Puppets, this is utterly ruthless, they deserve to die!"

Jing Shangcheng’s eyes flashed with anger, his body exuding a strong killing intent.

"I didn’t expect this world also had people skilled in making Corpse Puppets, but the craft is too poor! It’s not even one percent as good as that Sect’s. If they knew about such shoddy Corpse Puppets, they’d probably be furious."

Long Qian let out a chuckle.

"Let’s kill them all, to give them early peace!"

Xiao Yifeng spoke indifferently. His figure flashed, and he struck out his palm, sending a Corpse Puppet flying.

However, under the force of Xiao Yifeng’s powerful palm, the Corpse Puppet did not fall to stay down but instead stood up again and continued charging at Xiao Yifeng.

"Corpse Puppets are originally dead, they can’t be killed unless you smash their bodies. Only if their bodies are destroyed will they stop attacking."

Long Qian stated directly.

Xiao Yifeng glanced around, then said to Jing Shangcheng directly, "Don’t hold back, only destroying their bodies will stop them."

Upon hearing Xiao Yifeng’s words, although Jing Shangcheng felt somewhat conflicted, he quickly swung a long spear.

Xiao Yifeng also swung the Minghong Blade, fiercely striking out and instantly killing four or five Corpse Puppets.

Both Xiao Yifeng and Jing Shangcheng had the combat strength of the Entering Saint Realm, so naturally, they had no issues dealing with these ordinary Corpse Puppets. In less than half a minute, they had destroyed all the Corpse Puppets’ bodies with their blade and spear.

Then, another ten Corpse Puppets appeared, but these ten were different from the previous ones. Their bodies were black all over, their eyes flickering with a bloodthirsty look and emitting a strong aura.

"Iron Puppets! I didn’t expect they could also make Iron Puppets. That’s somewhat impressive!"

Long Qian said lightly.

"Senior Long Qian, what is an Iron Puppet?"

Xiao Yifeng asked.

"Iron Puppets are a level above ordinary puppets," explained Long Qian. "These puppets are different from regular ones and possess a significant combat capability as well as a bit of consciousness."

"The main thing is their body’s defense is very strong; ordinary weapons can hardly break their bodies. Like these Iron Puppets, you would need at least a Middle-Grade Spiritual Weapon or a master above the Half-Step Saint Realm to break them."

"That’s awesome!"

Xiao Yifeng’s eyes sparkled with surprise.
