Seeing that the corpse puppet intends to attack him, he immediately gave a ghost beside him and commands, "Stop it."

Shiela nodded her head as she immediately flew out of the [Atmospheric Barrier] and blew a strong gust of cold air!

Boom! Tzzzk~~

The chilling wind not only repel the woman corpse puppet, but it was also blasted to the ground and was immediately encased with big block of ice.

"What?!"

"Is that a ghosts?!"

"Poltergeist Cult, you traitor!"

Different exclaimed was heard on the side of demonic cultivators. In particular, Corpse Refining Sect and Blood Demon's Creed disciples look at the Poltergeist Cult with hatred in their eyes as they thought that the ghost was from the latter.

The three sides was aware of their reputation and conduct, so, just like a domino effect, the three sides themselves with one another and group with their respective sect.

On the other hand, the people inside the light barrier had a confused look with their face. Still, they snap out of it and use that small amount of time of ceasefire to recover themselves a little bit.

However, what they didn't saw was that there's a rare other expression on Gu Xi's face—shock!

The others might be able to see or sense it, but he sense a pure source of light on those ghosts' head. Furthermore, it carries the trace of buddhist energy.

Suddenly, an absurd idea rose from his head. However, he immediately toss it aside as it was impossible. That inheritance was already lost and even the whole buddhist community don't had someone who practice that art.

Still, no matter how hard he don't want to believe it, he don't had any other explanation... This thought is bound to be stuck on his head for very long time.

But there's one thing he's sure about, this female ghost is their ally.

The ice that enclosed the woman corpse puppet was thin as it was only formed by the cold gust of air. The latter only struggle for a moment before she managed to freed herself from the ice and immediately jump to the air again.

It was apparent that its adamant on attacking Cole. It didn't even bother to revenge itself to the ghost that attack her.

Of course, Shiela won't let it to get near her new Master. Immediately, she condense an ice sword and slash it towards the approaching corpse puppet.

The latter could feel that there's someone obstructing her way. Using her own hands like a knife, her nails coated with green substance, she met the ice sword with her own attack!

The hands of the corpse puppet was immediately covered with frost but managed to repel the sword attack. However, the force behind the attack still send her back to the ground.

On the other hand, the green substance on the corpse puppet's was left behind on the ice sword. Surprisingly, it was highly corrosive that it managed to bore a hole on the ice sword, though it was mend instantly after the corrosive substance falls on the ground.

This then happen like a cycle.

Shiela had the ability to defeat this corpse puppet if she wanted to; she could even seal it with ice that it can't melt. It was just that she receives a command to her head that she should not defeat it instantly or those demonic cultivators will feel threatened and escape.

Cole don't want them to disperse immediately and hide. Although he can find them with their own unique tracking equipments, it will still be a huge bother to hunt them one by one.

While the woman corpse puppet is being occupied with Shiela, the disciples of Poltergeist Cult managed to defend themselves from being accused of being traitors. They once again cooperate with the others and back on attacking the light barrier again.

But this time, they were a little cautious because there's one thing certain; there was something hidden in the sky that arouse the instinct of powerful corpse puppet. They want to believe that it was a treasure of some sort but their guts told them that it wasn't. Most probably, there's someone hiding in the void and their intention is unknown but should be against them since they block the corpse puppet that was considered as their ally's tool.

In fact, disciples of Poltergeist Cult send some of their ghost puppet to scout that certain spot.

However, both sides didn't wait for long as Cole and Celia finally reveal themselves. And the moment they did, both sides got shock to their core!

The righteous cultivators side was surprised from the fact that it was someone they recognized but almost didn't as they almost failed. If not because to the fact that his face still the same, they will think that he's a different person. Besides, Cole left behind an impression to those people; country bumpkin.

On the other hand, the demonic cultivators side look at with mesmerized gazed. Even in a distance, they could smell a very enticing aroma from him that literally rejuvenates them. It was then they could relate to the obsessed behavior of the corpse puppet.

In fact, without the absolute command from their Masters, the corpse puppet all stop attacking the light barrier but try to climb and reach Cole. They all have black drool leaking from their disgusting mouth.

The sight looks like a scene from zombie apocalypse...

Fortunately, corpse puppet don't had the ability to fly in the air, even the powerful woman corpse puppet. They could only pound the light barrier and try to climb it but it was proved to be slippery. They could scrape their dead nails on the light barrier.

Cole just gave the crowd of corpse puppet a glance. He also don't had to request as the light barrier creates an opening that was enough for him and Celia to enter.

Of course, they enter there.

This time, the disciples from that originates from Eastern Continent don't look as lofty as before. Instead, they look at both them as equal.

However, behind their attitude, they were a little cautious, after all, they saw that he could command ghost. They can't help but think that Cole had connection with Poltergeist Cult...

Furthermore, he had a powerful hiding ability like a ghost! This just convince them even more that he had some connection with Poltergeist Cult.

It was only Gu Xi who believe that Cole don't have anything to do with the cult. In fact, he even think that he have something to do with them instead, the buddhist cultivators.

After landing, Cold didn't even bother to look at the others. What he focus his eyes on was the injured people.

Some of the injured people had a small cut. From there, the Corpse-Energy enter their system and gradually corrupting their vitality. In fact, starting from those small cut, their flesh started to look purple or green. Some even had decayed skin after long exposure to Corpse-Energy.

Some had pale face and he could tell that they recieve a not so small soul injury. Definitely the works of ghost mental attack.

The last bizzare injury was related to blood, definitely the work of Blood Demon's Creed. The inflicted victim either had their blood flow stop or in reverse. The former is trying to return to normal blood flow and is near in recovery while the latter might either be newly inflicted or having a hard time recovering from that unusual state.

Just like the flow of every river, the blood of humans flow systematically. Reversing the flow was akin to violation of Heaven's Law, the same as reversing the natural of time.

In comparison, if human's body is the Heaven itself, then the natural flow of blood was a law and reversing it is akin to violation of natural rules. Since human body can't summon tribulation to eliminate the violators, it won't have any choice but to result with one outcome–destruction!

The others successfully prevent the reverse blood flow and was trying to recover themselves but there were some who receive heavy infliction and was already heading to destruction. In fact, they were already showing signs of having their blood flow in reverse, like their eyes were turning red and almost growling like a wild animal.

It was apparent that they were near of losing their sanity.

If that happens, they will attack without discerning between ally and foe. And since the righteous side encaged themselves inside the light barrier as a cage, those who will lose their sanity can only attack them, their former allies.

The turned crazy disciple will continue to attack until the reverse blood flow damaged their internals and die with it.

It was fortunate that the light barrier casted by the Golden Lotus Throne managed to block the invisible attack of Blood Demon's Creed or else, everyone inside would've already lose their sanity and kill one another.

Therefore, the most pressing matter to do first was not to attack those demonic cultivators but to treat these injured people. Cole don't want to had their former allies attack them while they were having a life and death battle with other side.

Besides, should he heal them effectively, those injured people could aid them, increase their number and increase their odds of winning.

Cole believed that with his current strength, there were only a small amount of cultivators that could defeat him in the same stage. However, those demonic cultivators had a trick up their sleeves, jut like Levi could summon more powerful ghost puppet and that sickly man to command a peak Tier-8 Corpse Puppet.

The assistance of these injured people will greatly aid their whole team after they recover.

The righteous path cultivators is always in odds with demonic cultivators. Perhaps injuries and special state as these will not be a problem normally since they had countermeasures or healing items for this specific problem. It was just that those items should be stored in their spatial ring...

Now that it was being blocked by the restriction of this medicinal garden, they can't draw it out.

After thinking for a second, Cole decided to who to call out among his contracted pets!

"Come out!" He said while doing a rise motion in his hands.

Then, what follows was the colorful summoning circle that could literally take someone's mind the first time they'll see it.

There were three summoning circle. After a second, the light vanish and four different creatures replace it.

"What's that..?" Someone can't help but mutter after she saw the spectacle.

Of course, no one bother to answer her as they also don't know what it was.

However, base on the outcome, it should be the arts of beast taming.

In the Eastern Continent, there's a very powerful, hateful and scary at the same time cultivation path–taming.

According to the creature they managed to tame, there's a different kind of tamers. The most prominent of them all was the Beast and Spirit taming.

The essence of taming was cultivating both one selves and their connection with their tamed creature. They were dubbed as powerful as unlike others, tamers have one to many tamed creatures and they could use those to co-operate or command them to attack. This means, if a sword cultivator face a tamer, there's a high chance that he'll face both the master and its pet.

As the saying goes, two pairs of hand is better than one. One will already fall in disadvantage if he/she face two opponents.

What differs them from the likes of Corpse Refining Sect and Poltergeist Cult was that tamers cultivates the feeling and connection with its pets, freeing them from the mental burden of controlling puppets.

Unlike those ghosts and corpse, beast, spirits and sentient plant had their own consciousness. Not only the tamers don't need to defend from his pets, he could also cooperates with them to do synchronized attacks.

With tacit understanding and co-ordination, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that tamers is a one-man army!
