Chapter 794: Chapter 795: Shattering the Scheme! (2 more)

On the other side, as General Sun Gongming led three thousand elite soldiers to the Oasis to gather herbs, an abnormality occurred within the military camp outside Rock Castle.

In one of the tents, the "Blood Spirit Corpse" that had ingested the antidote prepared by Lee Qingling had begun to regain its humanity, and therefore it was not imprisoned but left in the sick bay to recuperate.

After taking the Detoxification Pill, it gradually started to utter simple words and could even converse with others normally.

However, not long after that, it began to feel very tired, resting continuously in the tent. The Military Doctors caring for it assumed the poison had been neutralized, thus letting their guard down.

Suddenly, the Blood Spirit Corpse rose from its sickbed, eyes snapping open. They were no longer the blood-red hue of a Blood Corpse, but rather empty. In a flash, it flung aside the tent curtain and bolted out.

Its speed was incredible, bypassing the patrolling garrison within the camp and swiftly reaching the prison area where the criminals were held.

The two High Priests and the protector who had been brought back by Ling Feng were imprisoned here.

"Who’s there? This is a critical area of the prison, no one is allowed near without the General’s command!"

The guards tasked with monitoring the prison shouted a warning upon seeing someone approach and gripped their weapons in unison.

However, they were met with a pair of sharp claws instead of a response.

Whoosh!

A streak of Blood Light flashed, and the Blood Corpse’s sharp claws swiftly snapped the necks of the guards, then, without pause, it rushed into the tent where the criminals were held.

The High Priests and protector of the Blood God Sect were each confined within iron cages, sitting cross-legged with a listless demeanor.

When the High Priest saw the Blood Spirit Corpse burst into the tent, a gleam of joy flickered in his eyes.

"Clang!"

The claws of the Blood Spirit Corpse, sharp as blades, tore apart the iron cage in a stroke, freeing the High Priest.

"Hmmph, the Sect Hierarch is indeed far-sighted! Who would have thought the plan would proceed so smoothly!"

A curve formed at the corner of the High Priest’s mouth. He and Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch Lee Qingling could communicate through a Treasure, and this Blood Spirit Corpse that had swallowed the antidote was part of Lee Qingling’s plan.

Indeed, the Blood Spirit Corpse had taken the antidote, the severe poison of the Blood Corpse dissipating from its body. However, within the antidote was a component of the "Nine Revolutions Heart Elixir," which held firm control over the regained humanity of the Blood Spirit Corpse.

Lee Qingling’s plan was to have this pawn release the two High Priests and then control the Blood Spirit Corpses inside Rock Castle, mounting an attack on the garrison outside.

At this moment, General Sun had already taken most of the main force to the Oasis to gather herbs, and the soldiers in the camp were immersed in the joy of soon completing the mission successfully, naturally lowering their vigilance.

Once the Blood Spirit Corpses erupted into upheaval, even if these garrison soldiers were lucky enough to suppress the Blood Spirit Corpses, they would likely suffer heavy losses of troops and generals.

"Clang!"

Another loud noise, and the Blood Spirit Corpse freed the other protector as well.

"High Priest, what on earth is going on?"

The protector seemed utterly bewildered, clueless about what had happened or why someone had come to rescue them.

"He’s someone the Sect Hierarch sent to save us. It looks like the Sect Hierarch has already drawn away the main force of the garrison. Now, it’s our turn to serve the Sect Hierarch. If we incite the Blood Spirit Corpses within Rock Castle to riot, all the garrison here will die! Hahaha..."

The High Priest could not hold back his crazed, fierce laughter.

The protector nodded repeatedly, "The Sect Hierarch truly deserves his reputation. Who could have guessed that he’s been playing everyone, making fools out of them all, the Northwest Army included, a bunch of idiots!"

"Hmmph!" The High Priest sneered, his gaze falling on the Blood Spirit Corpse controlled by the Nine Revolutions Heart Elixir. He coldly commanded, "Next, escort us out of the barracks."

"Yes!"

The gaze of the "Blood Spirit Corpse" gradually became icy cold, staring at the High Priest with a chilly killing intent.

"What... what are you doing?"

The High Priest couldn’t help but shiver, his cultivation having been sealed by Ling Feng. If this Blood Spirit Corpse decided to attack him, he would have no chance of survival.

However, it should have been impossible for someone under the control of the Nine Revolutions Heart Elixir to defy their master’s commands!

"What am I doing? Naturally, I’m contemplating how to punish you two deceitful members of the Blood God Sect!"

The one answering the High Priest wasn’t the Blood Spirit Corpse, but a voice all too familiar.

"What?"

The High Priest’s pupils sharply contracted as he turned to look outside the tent. In an instant, a dozen soldiers rushed in, followed by Gong Cheng, Jiang Xiaofan, Ye Nanfeng, and several others, trailing behind a middle-aged general as they calmly walked into the tent.

The speaker was none other than Ye Nanfeng.

"Big brother was right, the antidote Lee Qingling provided was indeed problematic!"

Jiang Xiaofan snorted lightly and clenched his fists in front of him, "You two foul creatures, my big brother kindly spared your lives, yet you still haven’t repented!"

The High Priest and the protector were utterly confused, failing to grasp what was happening.

"That’s enough, Bu Fan. There’s no need for any more acting."

Gong Cheng flashed a grin and gestured to the "Blood Spirit Corpse." Apparently, this so-called Blood Spirit Corpse controlled by the "Nine Revolutions Heart Elixir" had already been dominated by Jiang Xiaofan and his collaborators.

And this Blood Spirit Corpse was none other than an impersonation by Lee Bufan, whom the High Priest and his associates had not encountered before.

As for the guards outside, they had simply been knocked unconscious by Lee Bufan’s sealing of their sleep acupoints, not killed.

All of this was a carefully orchestrated play designed to inform Vice General Huang, who was currently in charge of the military camp, of Lee Qingling’s conspiracy.

Before leaving, Ling Feng had only briefly shared his suspicions with Gong Cheng, but coming up with this strategy was entirely Gong Cheng’s own doing.

It had to be said that Gong Cheng truly deserved the title of "strategist." With ease, he thwarted Lee Qingling’s plot to control the Blood Spirit Corpse through the High Priest.

"Damn it!"

The High Priest clenched his fists in rage. Their failure was entirely due to being intellectually outplayed by the opposition!

"Vice General Huang, you see now. Everything we have said is true."

Gong Cheng smiled faintly and bowed respectfully to the middle-aged general, slowly speaking.

Before this, no matter how much they said, it was all subjective speculation. But the facts witnessed with his own eyes and heard with his own ears could not be disregarded by Vice General Huang.

"Mhm, I’ve seen everything. However, regarding General Sun..."

Vice General Huang’s brow furrowed in worry, now concerned that if things were as Gong Cheng and the others claimed, and Lee Qingling was indeed the Sect Hierarch of the Blood God Sect, then leading General Sun and his men to the Oasis for the herbs might be a tremendous trap.

"Don’t worry, with my big brother there, nothing will go wrong," laughed Jiang Xiaofan.

"In my opinion, Vice General Huang, it would be wise to dispatch a team to provide backup, just in case," Gong Cheng suggested after a moment of thought.

"Your reasoning is sound, Gong Shaohua," Vice General Huang nodded, his gaze shifting back to the High Priest and the protector with a cold voice, "Guards, take these two miscreants of the Blood God Sect away, administer two hundred strokes with the rod, pierce through their Pipa Bones, and guard them strictly!"

These two, even with their Dantian sealed, refused to behave; it was time to cripple them first.
