Chapter 32: The Nameless Girl, The Eye of Destruction, Dual Souls:
(In the governor's mansion)
The grand hall glittered with gold and jade.
Countless people stood there in shock and horror.
Everyone from the various sects and families of the entire Tianluo Province were utterly dumbfounded as they looked at the corpses of Governor Luo Kun and his eldest daughter, Luo Meixue, now reduced to corpse puppets.
"This..."
"The governor and his daughter... turned out to be corpse puppets?"
"We... have been deceived!!!"
"If His Highness had truly been killed... the entire Tianluo Province would have faced the wrath of the Azure Cloud Sect!!!"
"The Blood Puppet Sect... such a deep scheme!!"
Everyone suddenly realized the truth. The governor and his daughter had long been killed by the Blood Puppet Sect, their bodies turned into puppets. Under the control of the Blood Puppet Sect, they had continued to govern Tianluo Province openly. The Blood Puppet Sect had fooled everyone, but they couldn't escape Lin Ang's keen eyes.
Lin Ang sat calmly in a corner, his expression serene and unruffled. He had been in control all along.
"The Blood Puppet Sect... is terrifying... so terrifying..."
In the hall, a local sect master trembled in disbelief. "It turns out the people around us... had already been replaced by puppets without us knowing!!"
"I'm afraid the sect masters and family heads who submitted to the Blood Puppet Sect... have long been turned into puppets by them!!"
"They continue to rule their families and sects under their original appearances!!"
"This...!!"
Thinking of this, everyone shivered in fear.
"Father... Sister...!!"
Not far away, Luo Kun's youngest daughter, Luo Xinlian, walked over to the two corpse puppets in disbelief.
She collapsed to the ground, filled with despair and sorrow. Covering her face, she wept bitterly. So, it turned out that her father and sister had already died. What she had been facing all this time were just two puppets.
"Stop crying."
At this moment, Lin Ang slowly stood up from the side.
With a wave of his sleeve, he then walked calmly out of the grand hall.
Having gathered the information, his next step was to destroy the entire Blood Puppet Sect. Moreover, there was a great opportunity waiting for him there.
As Lin Ang walked, he spoke indifferently, "From now on, Luo Xinlian will be the female governor of Tianluo Province."
"She will govern the vast lands of Tianluo Province."
As the First Chief disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect, Lin Ang held an extremely noble status and immense power. His words were commands. From this day forth, in Tianluo Province, Luo Xinlian would be the sole governor, beyond dispute.
Upon hearing this, countless sect and family members present bowed to Luo Xinlian in unison: "We... greet the governor!!"
"Greetings to the governor!!"
"From now on, in Tianluo Province, we respect the governor!!"
Luo Xinlian sat on the ground, her eyes red from crying, but her beautiful face remained striking. Despite being young, she was already stunning. In the future, she was destined to be a stunning figure.
Watching Lin Ang's distant figure in his black and blue robe, she couldn't help but stretch out her hand and softly say, "...Thank you."
"Your Highness... will we meet again?"
Lin Ang waved his hand lightly without turning back. "No need to ask further."
"Step back."
Luo Xinlian only watched Lin Ang's departing figure.
She shook her head gently, biting her lip. The First Chief Disciple was like a dragon; how could she dare to hope for more? She wasn't even qualified to be his servant...
...
(In the afternoon)
As the sun set, Lin Ang walked out of the brightly lit governor's mansion.
The streets outside were cold and quiet, filled with a sense of impending doom.
According to the information he had obtained, the headquarters of the Blood Puppet Sect was located a hundred miles outside Tianluo Province, in a place called 'Great Wilderness City.' This city was now completely occupied by the Blood Puppet Sect.
In less than half an hour, Lin Ang arrived outside Great Wilderness City.
He could vaguely see the people coming and going inside.
Under the control of the Blood Puppet Sect, everyone in the city was extremely cautious, fearing being captured and turned into corpse puppets.
At the entrance of Great Wilderness City, several tall banners stood, with bodies tied to them.
Crows perched on the corpses, creating a sinister and ominous atmosphere.
Among them, a few corpses, though in ruins, could still be identified by their clothing. They were disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect.
"These should be the Azure Cloud Sect disciples who fell here." Lin Ang said, frowning slightly as he looked at the banners.
At this moment, Lin Ang noticed several disciples of the Blood Puppet Sect in red robes on the street, wielding long whips, viciously whipping a little girl ahead of them.
"Move faster!! Don't slouch!!"
"Damn it... a blind girl, and so ugly!!"
"Move!!"
Seeing the Blood Puppet Sect members, the pedestrians around quickly avoided them with fearful faces, whispering among themselves: "That poor girl... she must have been sold to the Blood Puppet Sect..."
"I'm afraid she will be turned into a corpse puppet soon..."
"Sigh... who could be so heartless..."
The murmurs reached Lin Ang's ears. The little girl being whipped was bound with ropes. She seemed to be only in her early teens, her whole body dirty and covered in scars. Each step she took was extremely painful and difficult, but she gritted her teeth and persisted.
What drew the most attention were the girl's eyes. They were hollow and black, indicating that she was blind.
