Chapter 1123: Chapter 585: Secrets of the Death Soldiers (Part 2)

"That’s right, exactly, their bodies are cultivated with herbs. Ever since they could eat independently, they have used herbs as their daily food, which is why their physique is like this. They are immune to all poisons; to a poison expert, they are nothing more than ants. However, the corrosive effect of the herbs on their bodies is real. It seems that King Luo gives them antidotes periodically; otherwise, they wouldn’t survive."

"I see, but why do they remain so loyal after suffering so much in the Luo family?"

Lan Yao’s question made everyone puzzled.

Wushuang Taoist glanced at the person again and then said indifferently: "Because they are death soldiers, bound by loyalty since childhood. It’s their life’s mission, embedded in their bones, unforgettable and inescapable. Even if they were in my hands, they wouldn’t say a word. But that doesn’t matter. As long as we can figure out how death soldiers come about, we can naturally research a way to dismantle them."

"Wushuang Taoist, do you have any leads now?"

"A few, but some things still require repeated experiments. Gu Sheng, there’s something that requires your personal attention."

Upon hearing Chun Feng, Gu Sheng immediately straightened up.

"Taoist, just tell me what you need me to do, and I will not disgrace the mission."

"The Mystic Iron Soft Armor on these death soldiers is difficult to compromise. The reason you were able to kill them this time was due to their small numbers. If they increase in number, the outcome would be different, so we must break their soft armor, which will remove half of their defense, allowing us to kill them easily."

"How do you dismantle their soft armor?"

"Their soft armor is made of Middle-level Dark Iron. To dismantle it, we must use High-level Dark Iron to combat it. In the presence of High-level Dark Iron, their armor is weak."

"Taoist, where should we find High-level Dark Iron?"

"You should go to Kunming Mountain to find Wang Chunshi. His sect lies on Mystical Iron Mountain, where this stuff is abundant. But he is eccentric, not everyone can meet him. I can only recommend you to Kunming Mountain; the rest is up to you."

Upon hearing this, Hong Mei was somewhat anxious.

"Master, what if he doesn’t favor us and we can’t find Dark Iron?"

"Then we can only resort to the clumsy method of sacrificing more lives to deal with these death soldiers."

Knowing that sacrificing lives is necessary to exchange for those of the death soldiers, Gu Sheng stepped forward and said, "Wushuang Taoist, I want to try."

Looking at him, Wushuang Taoist’s eyes flashed with satisfaction.

"Good, take my token with you. I guarantee you can enter Kunming Mountain, but after that, it’s your path to walk. If he’s willing to give, take as much as possible. If not, don’t entangle with him excessively. He is extremely eccentric and ruthless; do not offend him."

Wushuang Taoist casually tossed a token into Gu Sheng’s hand.

Holding the token, Gu Sheng pondered for a while and then asked, "Taoist, can their sect match ours, the Sky Blue Sect?"

"Many years ago, we were symbiotic, coexisting without any sect being superior because they are unique, not subject to any sect’s control. We have some interactions, but all are under the principle of peaceful coexistence. Now we’ve fallen, they remain strong, and I’m not sure if they still follow the previous principles, so let’s try."

Understanding the meaning, Gu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.

"Taoist, when we go to Kunming Mountain, what about the Luo family?"

"Don’t worry, Hong Mei has informed me of the situation over there. I will start with Luo Qin and let King Luo taste the bitterness of burying one’s own children. Then, when you return, we can confront him."

"Will you go personally?"

"No, my poison has not been cured, I cannot face them directly. If Saint Ya comes, I would surely die at his hands. I have sent people, rest assured. They have death soldiers; I also have Hidden Guards."

Knowing that Wushuang Taoist has a backup plan, Gu Sheng finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Alright, then we’ll head to Kunming Mountain first."

"Go, before you go, take these things to Stone Village and give them to Third Elder and my subordinates. They’ll know what to do when they see them."

Receiving the items, Gu Sheng nodded.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, Hong Mei grabbed him.
