Gu Ding stood in the middle of the tomb and looked at the corpse in front of him. There was nothing special about this corpse, it wasn't even injured. However, he was truly dead. His soul had completely disappeared, it was devoured by Gu Ding.
No matter what, Gu Dingzai was still a ghost. For a ghost, devouring souls was his instinct. It was normal for him to devour Wei Zonglin's soul.
The black mist skeleton devoured Wei Zonglin's soul, it didn't target his body. Because of this, Wei Zonglin's body didn't suffer any damage. However, his soul had already disappeared.
Looking at the dried corpse on the ground, Gu Ding couldn't help but coldly snort and muttered, "You're really greedy. Don't you know who we are? You actually dared to do this to me. You really don't know life from death. At least you have another body. After bringing it back, there will be children who will like it." Then Gu Ding waved his hand and stored Wei Zonglin's corpse.
What happened to Wei Zonglin today was beyond Gu Ding's expectations. Firstly, he didn't expect Wei Zonglin to recover his memories. Secondly, he didn't expect Wei Zonglin to immediately attack him after recovering his memories. It had only been a few days, but Wei Zonglin was already making a move. It can only be said that although Wei Zonglin's mind was sinister, he was still too anxious.
After putting Wei Zonglin's body away, Gu Ding looked around and said, "I've never heard the young master mention the Demon God Sect before. It seems like this Demon God Sect should be a sect in the Spirit Realm in ancient times. It's best to tell the young master about this. After Jiang Yu finishes cultivating, we'll go out with him to have a look and understand the situation in the Demon Spirit Realm. We'll face quite a lot of enemies this time."
Gu Ding wasn't worried about Zhao Hai. He believed that Zhao Hai was invincible. He believed in this even more than the disciples of the Sea Exploring Sect. Therefore, he wasn't worried about Zhao Hai at all. He just felt that he should collect some information so that Zhao Hai would have an easier time dealing with them.
In the following period of time, Gu Ding stayed in the tomb. Aside from Jiang Yu coming to the tomb a few times to ask Gu Ding about the Demon God's Undying Body, Gu Ding rarely left the tomb. Naturally, he also saw the forest clearly. Moreover, he planted formations on the bodies of the undead. These formations were hidden and no one could discover them. The people of the Battle Corpse Sect would have no problem refining these undead. There was only one use for these formations. When Gu Ding needed them, he could use these formations to obtain the Battle Corpse Sect's runes and control the battle corpses.
In other words, no matter how well the Battle Corpse Sect refined the battle corpses, as long as Gu Ding was willing, he could directly take over the command of the battle corpses. This was very important.
Time passed little by little. In the blink of an eye, three months had passed. On this day, Jiang Yu came to Wei Zonglin's tomb. When Gu Ding saw him, he came out of the tomb.
Jiang Yu quickly bowed to Gu Ding and said, "Greetings, Master. Master, in a few days, I will hand in the sect's mission and leave this place. Master, what do you think we should do next?"
Gu Ding replied, "From today onwards, I will follow you as a battle corpse. Remember, you have to act well." Jiang Yu quickly responded. He then glanced behind Gu Ding and realized that the mummy that followed Gu Ding from the beginning had disappeared. This puzzled Jiang Yu. He realized that he had never seen that mummy in the past few times he had been here.
Gu Ding saw Jiang Yu's expression and knew what he was thinking. He directly said, "Don't look. I've already swallowed him. He won't appear again. I'll be the only one following you from now on."
Hearing Gu Ding's words, Jiang Yu's heart couldn't help but tremble. He thought that the corpse was with Gu Ding. Gu Ding could even swallow people from his group, let alone a slave. This made Jiang Yu even more afraid of Gu Ding.
However, Gu Ding didn't say anything. Instead, he said, "Let's go. Don't be discovered by your sect. You can ask me to do things for you in the future. If you want me to do something for you, I'll know immediately."
Jiang Yu nodded and led Gu Ding back. Before long, they returned to their residence. Jiang Yu's residence was a very simple cave residence. Clearly, this was prepared for the people who looked after the mountain. The people who lived here were all people who received missions from the sect. Therefore, no one took care of this cave residence. Therefore, this cave residence was a bit dilapidated.
After Jiang Yu entered the cave residence, Gu Ding began to test the way the two of them got along. When there was no one around, Gu Ding was naturally Jiang Yu's master. But when there were people around, Gu Ding was Jiang Yu's Battle Corpse. Moreover, it was a low-level Battle Corpse. Therefore, Gu Ding had to help Jiang Yu do a lot of things, including serving him tea and cleaning up.
This was how Gu Ding acted. The Cultivation World's impression of Skeletons had always been that they were the weakest among the Undead. Even the Golden Bone Sect and the White Bone Sect relied on numbers to win. Although they could cultivate one or two powerful Skeletons, they were very few in number. Moreover, it was much more difficult to cultivate them compared to Battle Corpses.
Because of this, the Golden Bone Sect and the White Bone Sect generally relied on quantity to win. When the disciples of these two sects fought, they would release a large number of skeletons. The number of skeletons was definitely beyond one's expectation. It could be described as covering the sky and earth. Because of this, even though the skeletons weren't very strong, they were still able to overwhelm the opponent.
However, this kind of Storm Flow wasn't something that anyone could do. The Golden Bone Sect and the White Bone Sect had their own secret techniques that allowed them to control a large number of Skeletons. This was the most important thing. The other sects didn't have such secret techniques. Therefore, they couldn't do this.
It was precisely because of this that people from other sects generally wouldn't use Skeletons as their Battle Corpses. If Gu Ding didn't show off a little bit of his abilities and the Battle Corpse Sect saw that Jiang Yu had a Skeleton as his Battle Corpse, they would certainly be suspicious. If the Battle Corpse Sect really discovered their secret and suspected them, the consequences would be very serious.
After a few days, Jiang Yu finally adapted to how to get along with Gu Ding. Although Gu Ding accepted Jiang Yu as his slave, he was very clear that Jiang Yu would definitely become Zhao Hai's slave in the future. It was impossible for Jiang Yu to be his slave forever. Therefore, he didn't put himself in the position of a master. This way, it wouldn't be awkward to get along with him.
On the other hand, Jiang Yu had now recognized Gu Ding as his master. When he instructed Gu Ding to do something, he always seemed a little lacking in confidence. It was only after Gu Ding told him a few times that he slowly adapted to his identity.
Five days later, Jiang Yu and Gu Ding were ready early. They were waiting for the people from their sect to come and pick Jiang Yu up. In fact, there were still a lot of disciples in the Battle Corpse Sect who liked this task of managing the back mountain. This was because this task was very easy and the rewards were quite good. Jiang Yu had spent a lot of effort in order to receive this task. He could have done this task for a period of time.
However, now that he had learned the Demon God Immortal Body and had to help Gu Ding, he couldn't accept this task anymore. However, Jiang Yu believed that the person who would take over his job would appear soon.
Just as Jiang Yu had expected, Jiang Yu and Gu Ding did not have to wait long in the morning. A black beam of light arrived at the back of the mountain and landed in front of the cave abode. A black-robed cultivator with a gloomy expression appeared in front of the cave abode.
When Jiang Yu saw this person, he immediately saluted him. "Jiang Yu greets Senior Brother Zou. I didn't expect that it would be you who accepted this task. Congratulations, Senior Brother."
Senior Brother Zou glanced at Jiang Yu and raised his head slightly. "Junior Brother Jiang, you were doing well on this task. Why did you give it up? What a pity. " Although he said it was a pity, there was no pity in his tone. On the contrary, there was a hint of arrogance in his tone.
Jiang Yu, who seemed to be used to his attitude, quickly said, "To be honest, Senior Brother, I recently felt that I might break through a small realm. Therefore, I wanted to go out and train. Therefore, I could only reluctantly give up on this task. However, if I had known that Senior Brother wanted to accept this task, I would have given it up long ago. I definitely wouldn't have dared to compete with Senior Brother."
Senior Brother Zou snorted. "Alright, let's not talk so much nonsense. Let's go and count the number of battle corpses. As long as there are no problems with the number of battle corpses, you can leave."
Jiang Yu nodded. Then he led Senior Brother Zou to the back of the mountain and counted the number of battle corpses. These battle corpses were raised in captivity, so naturally there wouldn't be any problems. Since Jiang Yu didn't take the battle corpses away, the number of battle corpses wasn't a problem. Before long, the two finished counting.
After the two returned to the cave residence and went through the handover procedures, Jiang Yu summoned Gu Ding. Gu Ding had been in the cave residence and didn't show himself. Now that Senior Brother Zou saw Jiang Yu summon a skeleton, he couldn't help but stare. Then he showed a disdainful smile as he looked at Jiang Yu and said, "Junior Brother Jiang, even if you can't get good battle corpses, you don't need to use a skeleton to count them. That's too embarrassing."
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Senior Brother is joking. I'm just using it to clean the room and as a servant. How could I use it to fight? Senior Brother, I'll take my leave first." Senior Brother Zou nodded. Only then did Jiang Yu leave the cave abode and lead Gu Ding to his residence.
Jiang Yu was only an outer disciple of the Battle Corpse Sect. However, he still had his own cave residence. Jiang Yu led Gu Ding back to his cave residence. After entering, he immediately opened the cave residence's restriction. Then he bowed to Gu Ding and said, "Master, this is my cave residence. We'll rest here for a few days before going out. Otherwise, I'm afraid that people will be suspicious." Gu Ding nodded and didn't object.
