Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Liu Wei remained calm, ”We need to unite with more forces, preferably bringing in White Cloud Immortal City.”

Hearing this, Lin Qihe’s spiteful atmosphere lessened; he knew Liu Wei was right.

They urgently needed external help, and White Cloud Immortal City was undoubtedly the strongest ally around the Yunxiao Mountain Range.

”Not only White Cloud Immortal City, Hidden Sword Mountain, Nether Prison Sect, Sea of Spirit can also be our allies!” Liu Wei continued.

Lin Qihe lowered his eyelids, was silent for a moment, and said, ”I’ll go to White Cloud Immortal City. You others should reach out to other forces!”

He had connections in White Cloud Immortal City and some rapport with a few disciples of the White Cloud True Monarch, so he was confident enough to seek assistance from White Cloud Immortal City.

As for other forces, he didn’t have many contacts.

The Lin family has some ties with Hidden Sword Mountain, the Sea of Spirit was somewhat averse to Immortal Cultivation Forces, it didn’t matter who approached, and the Nether Prison Sect was far from the Qingli Dynasty, with almost no interaction.

...

After the fall of Lotus Heart Valley, Zhang Mo seemed to vanish into thin air, leaving no trace.

Of course, Zhang Mo hadn’t disappeared; he had gone into hiding in Cangya Gorge.

He knew well the impact of destroying Lotus Heart Valley, so immediately after the action, he led all his men back to Cangya Gorge, intending to observe developments.

If White Cloud Immortal City got involved, he planned to retreat; if not, he would continue with his previous plan.

Besides, he needed time to digest his gains from attacking Lotus Heart Valley and Lin family territory and intercepting several Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Not only did he acquire substantial resources, but he also obtained many subdued cultivators.

In the thick Blood Pool, cultivators lay unconscious, submerged in crimson blood, with only ferocious faces exposed.

Zhang Mo stood on a protruding rock on the cliff, looking down at those ferocious faces, his soft eyes filled with joy.

This time, he only acquired one Ghost Soldier, the harvest wasn’t continuous, but he obtained nearly a thousand materials for refining Blood Puppets.

He had high standards for Ghost Soldiers and Blood Puppets, unlike Mo Xuanyu, who often used inferior substitutes.

Ghost Soldiers must have the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and Blood Puppets must be late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators or Heavenly Gang Stage Martial Artists.

Currently, under his command, he had eighteen Ghost Soldiers, amassed over more than a century, and had sent more than twenty Ghost Soldiers and over a thousand Blood Puppets to the Yin Ghost Department.

Let’s put it this way, among the many Blood Pool Stewards of the Yin Ghost Department, his achievements over the past century were undoubtedly top-notch.

While Zhang Mo watched the Blood Pool below, changes occurred; the thick Blood Evil Qi slowly merged into the bodies, bloodshot eyes opened, spreading a fierce and bloody aura.

Zhang Mo stimulated spell lights on three White Bone Pillars, causing the Blood Puppets to crawl from the Blood Pool like living corpses.

Nearby, Blood Puppets, already prepared, stepped forward to clothe and lead the newborn Blood Puppets into caves.

Blood Puppets came in many varieties. The first kind, refined by Mo Xuanyu using Golden Body Realm Martial Artists, retained full consciousness and memory, with thoughts like their original. This type had strong autonomy and combat prowess.

The second kind was purely mindless, possessing mere combat instinct, executing simple tasks, entirely controlled by the Blood Pool Steward.

This blood puppet lacked memory, thus had weak combat capabilities, making them suitable as cannon fodder.

The third kind lay between the other two, bodies refined into blood corpses, with the Divine Soul’s consciousness stripped, leaving a remnant soul. Using special methods, it was completed to form a new consciousness.

This new consciousness obeyed the Blood Pool Steward unquestioningly, retaining the original combat awareness, almost holding the same strength as the original master.

Due to the loss of Divine Soul, its personality manifested flaws, becoming even more violent.
