The smile on every demonic disciples vanish as they look at the sealed in ice Tier-8 Corpse Puppet and the floating ghost that was exuding an extraordinary momentum.
They all knew that they don't have the ability to escape at this time.
The Tier-8 Corpse Puppet was now a free undead corpse and will attack indiscriminately as long as the target had life force. They could say that it was a fortunate scenario that it was sealed and won't have to worry about the attack of powerful zombie.
Only, now they have to worry about the more powerful creature, a ghost of former Mortal Emperor-Stage cultivator.
If they still had 0.1% chance of escaping from Tier-8 Corpse Puppet by sacrificing some living meat shield, then facing a ghost that could use ice attacks are impossible to escape to.
A corpse puppet won't leave its victim as long as it still had a life force that it could eat but an ice ghost will just freeze them.
After the seductive corpse puppet are fully sealed in ice and won't have any ability to resist and free itself for the meantime, Cole shift his eyes on the suppressed demonic sect disciples on the ground.
He didn't even bother to hide his killing intent.
For cultivators that don't have any bottom-line, he don't have to show them any mercy too!
"Shiela, freeze all those who release chaotic fluctuation!"
And at the same time, he command to his pets through their [Soul Contract], "Kill our enemies!"
Immediately, all of his spirit and beasts made their own move!
Coal chomp down necks and decapitate person like a skilled butcher.
Bell summon [Void Bells], trap the demonic disciples, and produce a terrifying level of sound that kills the demonic disciples with their seven orifices bleeding and their eyes burst. For sweet and small spirit like Bell, the sight she produced was quite gory.
Meanwhile, Blue will use [Lightning Flash] and decapitate person with lightning fast speed.
Even Shelly participate by using [Void Bullet] and shot enemies in their head.
The Ferghana Horse and Poison Cloud Lion join the 'fun', harvesting lives like they were harvesting vegetables.
With the joint efforts of his contracted pets, it only needs a several minutes and all the present demonic sects disciples are killed, turning into EXP for him and his pets.
This was the reason why he didn't ask for the assistance of others now that all of the demonic sect disciples are suppressed.
It was only after his pets finished the task then he ask Shiela to remove the pressure from the others.
He also gave Virgo the Black Ring and ask to collect all the corpses. He could harvest many treasures from them, specially the likes of Skill Crystals.
Perhaps he could even loot their cultivation method and learn their weakness from that.
This time, no one from the other disciples of righteous path sects look at Cole with condescending attitude. In fact, what he just show was the terrifying ability of Beast Masters!
And what deter them the most was the ethereal ghost that release an extraordinary momentum they only felt from the powerful entities from their own sect!
If an unrest broke out from their alliance, perhaps only Gu Xi could last since he have the Golden Lotus Throne with him.
"Master Beast Tamer, thank you for defeating the demonic sect disciples." The brawny, hot blooded leader of Nine Yang Sect suddenly said with slightly strange gentle tone.
"Yes, if not because of you, perhaps many of us might have been killed."
"Our sect is indebted to Five Element Sect this time."
Cole just show a gentle smile while listening to the gratitude of others.
He don't know if their word carry a truth but in this world of dog-eat-dog, it was better not to believe from the words of others.
Just like what the demonic disciple always say, righteous path cultivators are actually more ruthless than them if they wanted to. At the least, their evil wrongdoing was shown clearly to the public but righteous path cultivators smile at you gently and kill you when you show them your back.
Saying that they were hypocrites are not groundless accusation after all.
After they clean the battlefield and Groot and the others with healing skills gave the injured a first aid healing, Cole already decided to move again and explore.
This time, since majority of the demonic sect disciples are decimated in this battle, Cole decided not to ask the others to explore with him. In that way, he don't have to guard himself from them and won't have to limit himself due to their presence.
"As of now, all of you should know that usage of spatial storage in this place are blocked. Therefore, I suggest that you only harvest herbs that was particularly precious and you'll be able to bring outside."
"I also suggest that you have to suppress your greediness and not to explore more of this place. I have encountered Peak Tier-8 Sentient Plant in some part of the garden. Some of them have strong territorial sense and even have created subordinates. I think that its better if you remain here and wait for the secret realm to expel all of you."
The best example he could think was the Yellow Spring Spirit Lotus. If these group of disciples unfortunately stumble upon her territory, he knew that their survival rate will be almost none. Her empire of spirit lotus had myriads of ability that could deal with almost kind of enemy.
All of the discples listen carefully to what Cole said.
And after what they experience, they respected everything that he said and consider his suggestion. Specially since Miko is the reason why majority of them was still alive.
But much to Cole's surprise, it was the one he expected to be stubborn and rush said his agreement.
"Then, we'll do as Beast Master Cole said." It was the team leader of Nine Yang Sect said their stance.
In fact, even without Cole's suggestion, most of the groups have already decided to just wait for the automatic foreign entity expulsion of the secret realm. That was because...
"It is true that this place is a treasure trove of medicinal ingredients use for pill refining. Perhaps if this realm doesn't restrict the use of spatial storage, we might risk our life for it, harvesting everything that we can. But since we can't, we'll just be throwing away our life for nothing. It will be best for us to stay here where it was safe and also recover ourselves from injuries we sustain."
Cole nodded his head in affirmation to the side of Nine Yang Sect, thinking that their more wise than they look, specially their brawny leader.
The latter nod at him for the last time before he take all his fellow Nine Yang Sect disciples to an area near them, sat down and use the chance to cultivate and recover themselves from their injuries.
"Well sect brother... Are you still going to explore?" It was Ryan who asked him.
Cole nodded his head, not even bothering on denying it.
"Yes, I will. I intend to look for the Holy Beast Mountain." He reason out.
But the true reason was he want to search the very treasure of this place—the inheritance of its former owner, the Divine-Rank Alchemist!
This was the garden made by the said Divine-Rank Alchemist! It will be best if he find that and use that way to forge his path as an Alchemist!
After hearing Cole's reason, Ryan immediately nod in understanding. As he was Beast Master, it was only normal that Cole have a soft spot for beasts.
In fact, most of the renowned Beast Master from Eastern Continent and Central Land put more importance to beasts, spirit and fairies than their fellow human!
"Then, we'll just wait here with the Nine Yang Sect."
Cole just nodded his head, agreeing with their plan. With their joint forces, they could watch and protect each other's back.
After he said his formalities with the Cold Jade Palace, he walk towards the direction of Golden Perseverance Temple, where Gu Xi was still busy on suppressing the cursed artifact where the Ghost Mother was sealed.
Seeing him approaching, every body cultivator monk great him which he gladly return.
But after that, the familiar mirror appear in front of him, "Amitabha. Master Cole, I believe that this thing will have more use to you than us."
As of now, everyone could see and tell that Cole had the similar ability like Poltergeist Cult and control ghosts. But instead of thinking that they were refined into a ghost puppet, most of them believe that the ghost controlled by Cole was different after they learned that he could tame elemental spirits.
Of course, the most contributing factor why they easily accept the presence of ghost on Cole's party and in their side was because they were basically protected by it. Otherwise, even Gu Xi don't have the confidence to survive under the attack of Tier-8 Sentient Corpse.
Cole did not bother to reject the cursed mirror, "I'll accept this then."
"Master Cole, I heard that you still intend to explore this secret realm. Is that true?" Gu Xi ask him
"You heard it right. I want to look for the Holy Beast Mountain as we have created an alliance with them." Cole answered, still giving the same reason.
"Then, I advice that you take care of yourself. All of the leader of the three demonic sect disciples is not here as they intend to hunt the Little Saintess of the Holy Beast Mountain. If my guess is not wrong, the beasts from Holy Beast Mountain are facing the joint efforts of those mad people."
In Gu Xi's opinion, just the second-in-command of the three demonic sect disciples holds a powerful trump card, just like the Tier-8 Corpse Puppet and the malicious Ghost Mother. Eventhough the Blood Demon's Creed didn't have the chance to show or use their trump card, he believe that it should not be any inferior to the other too.
"Thank you for the reminder, cultivator Gu Xi. I will keep that in mind." Cole respond with sincere thankful tone.
Then, without asking Shelly to reveal himself, he ask all of his contracted pets to ride the latter's back, asking the others to carry those that can't fly on their own yet.
He also commanded Shiela to bring the sealed seductive corpse puppet and bring it also in Shelly's shell. He plan to further study the so called 'Monarch's Body' for future reference.
No once stop him since the sealed creature inside the ice was a ticking time bomb that they won't be able to stop.
Meanwhile, Cole also walk towards Lilia and ask her, "Are you coming with me?"
Lilia want to say yes but after being with her league leader for just some time, she could already tell that he had very large secret of his own. Just the fact that he could squeeze out every little bits of value from corpse is an massive secret already.
Thus after some quick contemplation, she decided to reject his offer. As a person with her own secret herself, she knew that people will get restricted to presence of others. She also come to this solution so not to burden Cole.
"I think I'm more needed in this group." She reason out, also bringing out some common herbs she pick along the way.
Cole was immediately convinced to what Lilia show him, thinking that she'll refine pills for them to recover.
But out of all the person he enter with in this medicinal garden, it was Lilia he worry the most since she's a member of his Beast-Tamer League. Furthermore, she's the first talent, specifically an Alchemist, he managed to recruit. She have quite a significance to him.
Therefore, after some thinking, he decided to leave one of the Tier-9 he successfully edified. And when the defiled Cold Jade Palace's disciple was succesfully escorted here, there should be two Tier-9 Spiritual Ghost that will protect this group.
Even if the two leader of demonic sect disciple join forces and attack here, less than one than Gu Xi said to him since he already defeated the leader of Poltergeist Cult, it should not be problem for the two powerful ghost to stop them.
Or if they were the same as Levi and wield a powerful equipment like Netherworld Ghost Flag, it should not be problem for them to buy some time and wait for Shiela's rescue.
