After pondering for a while, Zhou Qing's heart skipped a beat, and the remaining three corpse ghosts appeared next to him.

This ghost fog was the nightmare of countless cultivators, but for Zhou Qing, who could absorb the aura of death, it was extremely easy to pass through.

Corpse Spirit had yet to awaken, as long as he used the death aura to cover his entire body, he would be recognized as the same kind and would be immune to attacks.

Therefore, it wasn't too hard for him to capture Corpse Spirits.

A black light flashed from the Fate Stone spirit bone. Zhou Qing absorbed some of the death aura, and a moment later, his body was covered by the black light. Under the guidance of the three corpse ghosts, he entered the ghost fog.

As soon as he entered, the temperature dropped and a cold wind blew.

A low roar rang out in his ears. Zhou Qing walked closer to investigate, but frowned slightly.

Outside of the ghost fog, there were Spirit Opening Realm Corpse Ghosts. If one wanted to capture a Soul Condensation Realm corpse ghost, they could only go deeper.

After making some mental plans, Zhou Qing continued to walk forward. At the same time, his left hand flew out, forming a complicated blood-colored talisman.

This talisman was called the Corpse Controlling Curse. As long as it was inserted into the corpse ghost's body, it could establish a connection with the corpse ghost and gain control of it.

This ghost fog was much larger than the one he had entered with Old Demon Feng and the others. After Zhou Qing had gone deeper into the fog for a while, the ghost fog grew thicker and the area around him had shrunk to less than 10 feet.

At this point, even with the aura of death enveloping his body, Zhou Qing did not dare to be careless. His heartstrings gradually tightened.

After five more steps, Zhou Qing's expression changed.

The corpse ghost controlled by the corpse talisman had a connection with his mind and was able to share his vision.

At this moment, he could clearly see that there was a shriveled mid stage Soul Condensation Corpse not far away from the Corpse Ghost on the left!

Zhou Qing's expression was calm as he silently walked forward. Soon, he was only 10 feet away from the mid stage Soul Formation corpse.

Boom!

Suddenly, Zhou Qing let out a low shout and the Spiritual Energy within his body exploded out. He sent a palm strike towards the zombie.

Although Corpse Ghost wasn't intelligent, it was very sensitive to spirit energy fluctuations.

The moment Zhou Qing made his move, the mid Awakened Soul Realm corpse ghost sensed it and roared, charging towards Zhou Qing without fear of death!

At the same time, low roars rose and fell from the surrounding ghost fog. Countless figures could be vaguely seen as they rapidly approached.

Bang.

The Ethereal Wind Steps instantly erupted. Zhou Qing's figure flashed as he nimbly dodged the Corpse Ghost's bite. At the same time, his palm landed on the Corpse Ghost's shoulder.

The corpse control talisman instantly entered the zombie ghost's body. The zombie ghost wanted to continue flying, but it suddenly froze, like it was motionless.

At the same time, dozens of zombies tore apart the ghost fog and rushed forward!

With a thought from Zhou Qing, the moment the fluctuation of spiritual energy was withdrawn, it absorbed the death aura. After the tens of zombies lost their target, they stopped moving and turned around to leave.

Letting out a breath, Zhou Qing controlled the Soul Condensation zombie to move forward again. As for the three peak Spirit Opening zombies, they were cut off and thrown to the ground.

With the help of the Death Qi, as well as the Corpse Controlling Talisman, Zhou Qing was like a fish in water in the fog, quickly reaching the heart of the area.

During this process, the number of mid stage Soul Condensation Corpse Ghosts he controlled had also increased to ten.

However, after walking forward for a while, Zhou Qing's brow furrowed slightly.

In the ghost fog region, the closer one was to the core zone, the more Corpse Ghosts there were. This was a common occurrence.

But for some reason, as he moved forward, he felt the number of Corpse Ghosts around him becoming fewer and fewer. In the end, besides the ten that he controlled, he could not even see a single one.

This situation was too strange!

Zhou Qing did not dare to be careless. He mustered all his energy and continued forward.

This time, he didn't walk too far before the ghost fog in front of his eyes suddenly dissipated and his vision widened.

Zhou Qing looked over with rapt attention, and when he saw the scene in front of him clearly, his pupils violently contracted.

In front of him was a wide, rocky area surrounded by a thick ghost fog.

In the center of the open space, a ghost corpse sat cross-legged. Its figure was extremely thin and small, like that of a child. However, its skin was jet-black with a hint of scarlet.

In front of this corpse ghost, between the two pieces of rubble, there was actually a small flower that swayed in the wind. Its entire body was light red, and it was extremely eye-catching.

"That is …" The Divine Awakening Flower?! "

Zhou Qing muttered in his heart. A moment later, he finally recognized the light red flower. A fiery heat immediately surged through his eyes.

The Divine Awakening Flower had the ability to refine spirit sense and clear the mind. Using it to awaken the mind would increase the strength of one's spirit sense and increase the area that it covered.

Spiritual consciousness could only be created after the seven spirits were completely formed. Unlike Spiritual Energy, it could not be used to increase the area one could cover through cultivation. Normally, peak Condensing Reality Realm cultivators could cover an area of 50 meters with their Spiritual Awareness.

However, Zhou Qing had cultivated the Ten Thousand Spirit Codex and condensed a soul pill. Thus, his Spiritual Awareness was born earlier, and his area reached a terrifying three hundred meters.

If he could consume this Divine Awakening Flower, the area covered by his Spiritual Sense would increase exponentially, to the extent that it could be compared to a Spirit Realm Mage at the early stage of the Spirit Realm!

But...

Zhou Qing looked at the small zombie with a serious expression. It should only be at the late stage of Soul Formation, but for some reason, he felt a sense of danger.

At the same time, the fire in Zhou Qing's eyes burned hotter.

This ghost was very abnormal. Its combat power was even stronger than a late stage Soul Formation cultivator. It was very suitable to be used to refine the King Corpse of the Five Ghost Generals.

It could be refined into Corpse King's Corpse Spirit and the Divine Awakening Flower … Zhou Qing thought for a moment and decided to make his move.

A magical sword silently appeared in his hand. Zhou Qing's left hand quickly formed a Corpse Controlling Sigil, and he controlled the ten mid Spirit Condensation Corpse Ghosts to silently approach.

The encirclement was gradually shrinking, but the petite Corpse Spirit did not have any reaction. It just sat there in a daze. A moment later, the ten Corpse Spirit were completely surrounding it.

The next moment, with a thought from Zhou Qing, the ten Corpse Spirit roared out in unison, and suddenly attacked, flying towards the skinny Corpse Spirit.

The Corpse Ghost's movements were extremely quick. In almost two breaths, it had already tightly restrained its neck and four limbs.

"Roar!"

The petite Corpse Spirit was slow to react and roared out loud, trying to break free from the restraints.

However, in the next moment, Zhou Qing's figure suddenly appeared above his head like a ghost!

In his palm, the blood-red Corpse Control Curse flashed with a bright light. Zhou Qing's palm struck out, directly striking the Corpse Control Curse on his head.

Once the Corpse Controlling Curse entered his body, the latter's body froze, she instantly stopped screaming and also stopped struggling.

Zhou Qing's face lit up. Just as he was about to relax his taut heartstrings, he suddenly realized something and widened his eyes.

Although the Corpse Controlling Curse had entered his body, he did not feel any connection with this skinny corpse ghost!

This corpse ghost was not controlled!

"We've been tricked!"

This thought flashed across Zhou Qing's mind, and he immediately wanted to retreat.

However, in the next moment, the petite Corpse Spirit suddenly raised its head. A hint of ridicule flashed in its turbid eyes.

This was a King Corpse with intelligence, everything he had done was in its calculations!

Zhou Qing was frightened out of his wits, but the Corpse King's shrivelled up arm suddenly extended out, striking Zhou Qing's chest with its palm.

Bang!

Zhou Qing was sent flying backwards. He gave a stuffy cough as he felt as if all his organs had been dislocated and blood was dripping down from the corners of his lips.

The place on his chest that had been hit by the corpse palm seemed as if it had been burned by flames. It was scorched black as a scorching death aura entered his body.

Zhou Qing quickly circulated his spirit energy, quickly extinguishing the scorching death aura. He raised his head to look at the King Corpse, his face full of shock!

Ordinary Corpse Spirits did not use their strength. They could only rely on their instincts to fight.

But this one in front of him could not only use deathly qi as an attack, but it also had a hint of the fire element …

One had to know that only when one reached the Spirit Realm, became a mage, and converted his spiritual energy into mana, would he be able to have attributes!

This Corpse King with intelligence had the strength of a peak Spirit Condensation cultivator, and it had half a foot in the Spirit Realm!

With a thought from Zhou Qing, the King Corpse flew over. It broke the sound of the wind and moved at an extremely fast speed.

At the same time, because he had just used his spiritual power, there were countless zombies flying through the thick ghost fog, heading in his direction.

Zhou Qing did not dare to hesitate any longer. He controlled the ten mid stage Soul Formation corpse ghosts to block, and at the same time, he unleashed all of his spiritual energy.

Along the way, roars shook the heavens as black, foggy arms reached out towards Zhou Qing.

On the sword, two inscription patterns instantly lit up. Zhou Qing slashed out with his sword, his spirit energy gushing out as a sharp sword light formed. It cut off the arms of countless corpse ghosts, scattering blood everywhere!

Behind him, the King Corpse's roars became more and more angry, summoning more and more corpse ghosts to attack Zhou Qing.

"Thunderclap Sword Technique!"

Zhou Qing let out a low growl. He did not hold back any Spiritual Energy as he poured it all into the sword in his hand.

In that instant, the sword qi surged, tearing apart the ghost mist, and in an instant, it had cut the two Soul Formation Corpse Ghosts in its way into pieces!

After two breaths of time, Zhou Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he rushed out of the ghost fog.

Behind him, the King Corpse finally stopped its pursuit. Countless corpse ghosts roared at the same time, their roars were like thunder, causing people's eardrums to hurt.

Zhou Qing flew another few hundred meters before stopping. His face was extremely gloomy.

"I've been tricked by a corpse ghost …"

He was sure that as soon as he had entered the ghost fog, the King Corpse had already sensed that something was ambushing him.

If it weren't for Feng You stepping into the door and exploding forth at twice the speed, perhaps he really would have had to use the talisman that the white-robed mage had given him in order to escape.

Zhou Qing was rather gloomy.

If he could fight the Corpse King head on, he might be able to think of a way to get rid of it.

However, in the ghost fog, hundreds of thousands of zombies were controlled by the King Corpse, at the same time they surrounded and attacked, he could not handle them, if he was not careful, he could fall here.

He had to think of a way to lure the King Corpse out of the fog!

Zhou Qing frowned, thinking to himself, what should I do?
