Chapter 1402: Chapter 1398: Heart Demon Puppet Chapter 1402: Chapter 1398: Heart Demon Puppet The dark silhouette was evidently shocked to see Shen Luo free himself so quickly, as the surrounding black qi surged as if startled.

Shen Luo snorted coldly, the Profound Yellow Staff in his hand emitting a brilliant golden light as it rapidly enlarged, instantly transforming into a golden giant stick.

“Go!”

With a forceful thrust of his arm, Shen Luo hurled the golden giant stick towards the dark silhouette. While it was still a dozen or so yards away, a towering force morphed into a wicked gale, bearing down upon its target.

The dark silhouette's body writhed with violent black Qi as if being scattered by the gale. It let out a low shout, and the Formation Patterns of the refined Mansion town stone tablet immediately lit up.

The twelve Stone Pillars around them flared up with intense firelight once more, and the carvings of twelve Red Dragons revived, spewing out twelve Giant Fire Pillars to counter the might of the Profound Yellow Staff.

Though the Profound Yellow Staff was powerful, it couldn't compare with the Turn Sky Seal. With a series of loud bangs, it was promptly halted by the twelve columns of fire.

The dark silhouette rejoiced, trapping the Profound Yellow Staff with the twelve fire columns while fully activating the Heaven Profound Fire Array, summoning countless white fierce flames that surged upward, forming a torrential wave of fire rushing toward Shen Luo.

But at that very moment, the void behind the dark silhouette began to fluctuate. A yellow Corpse with golden wings materialized out of nowhere, its two cold-gleaming yellow palms transforming into two afterimages as they lunged towards the dark silhouette.

Terrified, the dark silhouette hastily dodged to the side. A vicious light flickered in its eyes as it spat out a blood-stained black Flying Knife, slashing lightning-fast towards the yellow figure behind him with both speed and urgency.

However, with a flash of golden light from the wings on its back, the yellow Corpse vanished into thin air, evading the strike of the blood-stained Flying Knife. The next moment, it reappeared instantly before the dark silhouette.

The Corpse's fingertips suddenly grew incredibly sharp, sprouting several inches long yellow nails, and just like before, it swiftly reached for the dark silhouette's chest with lightning speed.

Startled, the dark silhouette halted abruptly. A tumultuous black Demonic Qi burst forth from its body, intertwined with a layer of pitch-black Demonic Flames, exuding a chilling, eerie aura as it converged to meet the yellow Corpse.

“These Demonic Flames are the Nine Yin Demon Flame, capable of corroding all spiritual power. It's best if your corpse doesn't try to dodge; let's see if you don't get burned into pus,” the dark silhouette thought viciously.

Yet, contrary to expectations, the yellow Corpse didn't make any attempt to dodge, its palms puffing up with a layer of ash-white flames as it continued to thrust into the black Demonic Qi, piercing through several layers as if they were nothing, embedding into the dark silhouette's chest.

The pitch-black Demonic Flames, upon contact with the ash-white flames, were unexpectedly absorbed into them, not inflicting the slightest harm on the Corpse.

The dark silhouette watched in horror as the hands pierced its body, its eyes filled with an incredulous look.

The ash-white flames on the Corpse's hands flared up immediately, rapidly engulfing the dark silhouette's body. In the blink of an eye, a living being was reduced to ashes, completely vanishing from this world, leaving behind only the blood-stained Flying Knife that fell to the ground.

With the death of the dark silhouette, the Heaven Profound Fire Array was once again without a controller, and the flames in the great hall quickly extinguished.

Shen Luo's face revealed a trace of a smile. The yellow corpse was none other than the Sky Fiend Corpse King. When he had first emerged from the Map of Mountains and Rivers, he had, just in case, quietly released the Sky Fiend Corpse King as well, ordering it to hide nearby, and indeed it had played a role.

The corpse fire of the Sky Fiend Corpse King indeed burned everything, demonic Qi was no exception.

“Heaven Fiend Corpse Fire! And the Ghost Tattoo! Who could have imagined Your Excellency had mastered so many profound arts and even used them to refine a Taiyi Puppet? I am impressed! With this Taiyi Puppet to assist you, Daoist friend, you would be able to fully refine the Mansion Town Stone Tablet and truly take control of this Guangcheng Immortal Mansion!” exclaimed the Purple Fire Boy, his face registering shock.

“Who are you? And why are you in this furnace?” Shen Luo frowned and asked in a deep voice.

This Purple Fire Boy had identified so many things about the Sky Fiend Corpse King at a glance, his insight was truly extraordinary.

“My name is Fire Spirit Child, nothing but a remnant soul from ancient times, refined into this Netherworld Furnace by that scoundrel Guang Chengzi, turned into the spirit of this furnace. Daoist friend need not be wary of me; I now have no other desires but to observe the myriad states of this world in my remaining years. Now that the Netherworld Furnace has fallen into your hands, we share both glory and loss, and I will not interfere with you. If Daoist friend is still not reassured, you may refine this Netherworld Furnace,” the Purple Fire Boy said anxiously.

Hearing this, Shen Luo's gaze flickered, but he did not follow Fire Spirit Child's advice to refine the Netherworld Furnace. Instead, he continued to seal it within the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

He immediately flickered into place where the dark silhouette had turned to ash and reached out to grab the blood-stained flying dagger.

This was a Demonic Artifact, crystal clear as ink, its blade emanating a chilling, penetrating gleam that appeared exceptionally sharp. It contained fifty-two layers of prohibitions, and a wave of demonic Qi mixed with the power of blood emanated from within, no less potent than the other Demonic Treasures he held.

“What a powerful Demonic Artifact, and that dark silhouette, with its rich demonic Qi, must have been a member of the Demon Clan. I fear even the Dragon Tooth may not have been its true form,” Shen Luo thought to himself.

“Fire Spirit Child, the spell cast by that dark silhouette just now, this Heart Demon Method of the Bewildering Heart Demon, who is this deity? I have never heard this name before,” he pondered for a moment, then used a transmission to communicate with the Fire Spirit Child in the Netherworld Furnace.

“The Bewildering Heart Demon was a great general under Demon Emperor Chi You during the Zhulu War, skilled in manipulating Heart Demons and has already cultivated a Heart Demon body, formless and intangible, extremely difficult to deal with. Alongside the Tianmei Demon Woman, War God Xingtian, and Star God Kuafu, he is known as one of the Four Great Demon Generals, the most formidable under Chi You,” Fire Spirit Child said.

“Four Great Demon Generals? I only knew Chi You had Twelve Demon Venerates; when did these Four Great Demon Generals appear?” Shen Luo showed a look of surprise.

“The Four Great Demon Generals had all perished during the Great Battle of Zhulu, which is why you do not know of them,” Fire Spirit Child replied with a proud look, glancing at Shen Luo with slight disdain, but then quickly restrained himself, recalling his own circumstances.

“I see, it's good that they have perished,” Shen Luo breathed a sigh of relief and did not take offense at Fire Spirit Child's slight rudeness.

“Although the Bewildering Heart Demon has perished, the skills and powers remained. That person just now must have inherited the mantle of the Bewildering Heart Demon. Daoist friend, if you encounter this demon again in the future, you must be extremely careful,” Fire Spirit Child said.

“In the future? Are you saying that person is still alive?” Shen Luo's face grew somber.

“Definitely. Practitioners of the Heart Demon Method can induce others' Heart Demons, ultimately turning them into mindless Heart Demon Puppets. Practitioners can also possess these Heart Demon Puppets, letting the puppets exhibit their full strength. In times of danger, they can leave and transfer to other nearby puppets, making them exceedingly hard to kill,” Fire Spirit Child explained.

“Transfer to other Heart Demon Puppets? Qing Qing!” Shen Luo's expression changed drastically.

“Qing Qing? Are you talking about the woman in green above? I can feel that she has already left this place and is surging with demonic Qi. It seems she is indeed a Heart Demon Puppet… Oh no, not good! Daoist friend, you must leave this place immediately!” Fire Spirit Child's expression suddenly changed, and he urgently yelled.
