The tall corpse followed the tracks that Austin and Violet had made, and entered the cavern behind them. People who were inside another cavern instantly felt where the corpse went.
"The corpse general we sent in has found the whereabouts of the two intruders. They have intruded into our corpse storage warehouse.
All our standby resources are stored in the depths of that warehouse. Those resources are our backup plan to rebuild our sect and get our revenge.
If the intruders find them, we're going to be in a hell of trouble," one of them remarked in a concerned tone.
"You're right. We need to kill these two intruders as soon as possible.
Even if they don't take the resources, we can't let them leave this place.
If they go and tell about us to their friends, our base will be exposed and there are going to be hordes of people here to steal our resources.
There's no way our leaders will let us off the hook in that case. Look what happened to the Tomb Owner! If we don't stop them, that's what's going to happen to us."
"Well, I don't think we have too much to worry about. The corpse general has already found them, and will wake up the sleeping corpses in the corpse storage warehouse. They shall deal with them.
There are hundreds of corpses there. I don't think the intruders will be able to survive their onslaught."
Upon hearing that, the rest of them felt much relieved. After all, even a cultivator at the Mysterious Realm wouldn't be able to deal with hundreds of corpses easily, let alone steal things from right under their noses.
They guessed that the two intruders were cultivators with little cultivation base and were here to look for treasures after hearing about the story of the Ghost Sect.
After all, cultivators at the Mysterious Realm were all supposed to be quite wise and cautious and would not try to come here just after hearing a few stories.
"Do we need to go there and check on them?" one of them asked.
"No need for that. Right now, we'd better hurry up and refine the Ghost-devouring Flag.
Once that is done, its force will be invincible, and we will be unstoppable. At the next stage, we will be able to kill a cultivator at the premium stage of Earth Realm effortlessly.
If it weren't for the fact that we had spent too much time refining the corpse generals, the Ghost-devouring Flag would have already been refined. But it doesn't matter.
Once the Ghost-devouring Flag is refined, our base will be extremely powerful and then, no one will be able to leave this valley alive without our consent."
The rest of them nodded and began to refine the Ghost-devouring Flag with undivided attention.
Four people were engaged in this activity and all of them were middle-aged men.
They were sitting on the ground at the four corners of the cavern—east, south, west and north. A rectangular flag with seven colors was laid on the ground in the middle of that gathering. This was the Ghost-devouring Flag.
They also had numerous jade bottles with big bellies and thin necks laid out in front of them. The bottles seemed to be shaking as if there were living things inside them.
"Guys, focus! Say the spell!" the man in the east corner shouted. The rest of them seemed to be fired up from his voice and began to utter some kind of weird spell simultaneously.
Once they began, the Ghost-devouring Flag suddenly started to move.
