Chapter 470: Soul Puppets

The array inscriptions on the ring lit up with a bright golden light. Jiu Shen then felt a connection with the ten stone statues inside the hall. He could sense that each of these stone statues had souls sleeping inside of them, and the ring in his hands was the key to awakening these things!

Not long later, the stone statues suddenly cracked and revealed their forms. They became more human-like except for their lifeless and vacant eyes. Only those who were proficient in Array Formations and those with strong spiritual power would be able to notice that these guys were Soul Puppets!

The ten Soul Puppets had souls controlling them, so Jiu Shen didn\'t need to give them a very detailed command as to what they needed to do. They were like humans! The only nonhuman thing about them was their bodies since they were made from precious resources.

"Master!" The ten Soul Puppets greeted Jiu Shen in monotonous and cold voices.

Jiu Shen stared at the Soul Puppets that emitted the auras of Supreme God Realm experts with an expectant look. With Atlas and the Soul Puppets, he became more confident in achieving his goal.

"You and you there. The two of you will guard the entrance of this building. You, the one at the leftmost corner, and you at the center, you both will guard the store..." Jiu Shen gave his instructions to the Soul Puppets. As long as he had the ring with him, the Soul Puppets would continue to work for him endlessly! They didn\'t require energy or any resources. This was the most terrifying thing about them!

There were only two Soul Puppets who didn\'t have to do anything. Jiu Shen decided to let them look after the Heavenly Sword Tower. As for Atlas, he was Jiu Shen\'s trump card!

"Now that the new branch store has been made, I should quickly go back and inform the others. The store still needs some workers..." Jiu Shen went back to the temporary camp of the Heavenly Sword Tower together with two Soul Puppets. They followed behind Jiu Shen with cold and emotionless faces.

Before he left the branch store, he asked the Soul Puppets to not allow anyone to step inside. Soon, many experts would be attracted by the spiritual plants in the garden. Even the pond water would attract their attention...

Jiu Shen arrived at the temporary camp in just a few minutes. His arrival surprised everyone since he came back with two strangers.

"Who are they?" Theia whispered to his ears as she curiously stared at the two Soul Puppets standing behind Jiu Shen. She couldn\'t sense the strength of the two men and there was something about them that made her feel suspicious.

"I\'ll explain later, but don\'t worry. They are on our side. Anyway, I\'ve got the land title for this piece of land. You can take a few Elders with you to get construction materials from Hard Rock City. Have them create a new sword tower. Also, let Hestia select twenty trustworthy female disciples. I need them for the new branch store..." Jiu Shen was in a bit of a hurry. He only had a little bit of time before the store would attract the attention of others.

Theia nodded her head solemnly when she sensed the urgency in Jiu Shen\'s voice. She then left and quickly told everyone about his commands.

The Elders immediately left with some disciples. They were headed to Hard Rock City to buy construction materials. Jiu Shen also sent a Soul Puppet to go with them to prevent any troubles from happening. After that, Hestia selected twenty female disciples to come with Jiu Shen to the new branch store.

"Theia, stay here and watch over everyone. I will also leave this guy here to protect you guys from harm. He is a Supreme God Realm expert, so everything will be fine." Jiu Shen hugged Theia gently as he whispered those words.

"Alright, but I will stay with you once the construction of the new sword tower is finished." Theia muttered in a soft voice.

Jiu Shen nodded his head as he stroked her golden hair. "I will wait for you..."

After saying goodbye to Theia and the others, Jiu Shen went back to the new branch store together with the twenty selected female disciples. The young ladies revealed excited and expectant gazes as they followed behind Jiu Shen.

Meanwhile, inside the City Lord\'s manor.

Serek stood before the City Lord with a respectful look. He then bowed at the City Lord as he greeted him. "Greetings, City Lord!"

Corpse Lord glanced impassively at Serek. He then asked with a slightly impatient voice. "Why did you come here to meet me? Didn\'t I tell you not to disturb me during this time?"

The City Lord was in the middle of consuming the Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit that he got from Jiu Shen, but this guy suddenly came here to disturb him. If not for his value, Corpse Lord would have beaten up this fellow...

"City Lord, I came back with a piece of important information. I discovered a dangerous individual in Hard Rock City!" Serek reported in a grave tone. Jiu Shen\'s overwhelming aura was still fresh in his mind!

Corpse Lord furrowed his eyebrows, but his face soon relaxed as he muttered. "Let me guess. This man has long silver hair and he is a human. He wears plain white robes and has an expressionless face."

Serek was stunned since this description fit perfectly with the man in his mind! Could it be that the City Lord knows of his identity?

"City Lord, you know this guy?" Serek could not help but ask.

Corpse Lord nodded his head. "Yes. His name is Jiu Shen. He came here a while ago to buy a piece of land from me. Oh, right... Since you are here. I want you to investigate the group located in this area. Just observe them from afar and if they notice your presence, leave immediately..." The City Lord handed a map to Serek and pointed at the location where the temporary camp of the Heavenly Sword Tower was located.

"But that man... his strength is..." Serek wanted to say something, but the City Lord cut him off.

"Just don\'t mess with that Jiu Shen..."

The old man then left hastily after saying those words. Serek could only shake his head helplessly upon seeing this.
