Austin fixed his eyes on the fifteen corpse demons around Jim's remains.
He licked his lips, much like a predator ready to devour its prey.
‘These corpse demons are much stronger than those in my bag, ' he thought, eyes sparkling in total joy.
He excitingly jumped up and landed beside Jim's corpse.
The gnfollowed and moved to Austin's side.
Since his soul was destroyed, Jim also lost his chance of coming back to life and reincarnation.
But the spiritual sense marks Jim had attached to the corpse demon's spiritual souls were still inside them.
Therefore, they were still loyal to Jim.
They were still on a mission to protect his remains.
Watching Austin and the gnapproaching, they put on a twisted, minister look on their faces.
They released black putrid corpse miasma and dashed towards the two intruders together.
The gnhad already read Austin mind. 'He plans to take these corpse demons and make them work for him.
He doesn't need my help, ' he thought as he watched Austin.
He exerted Space Teleportation and stood aside.
Looking excited, Austin released all his physical strength.
He launched a single punch, which had a force of hundreds of thousands of pounds, toward the corpse demons.
Suddenly, the four corpse demons who had been hit retreated ssteps backward and fell on the ground several hundred meters away.
The slate flooring was crushed, and four big holes were drilled on it.
However, the corpse demons instantly stood up from the ground.
As if nothing happened, they darted at Austin for another attack.
‘They are strong. That's great, ' Austin remarked.
A gleam shone in his eyes as he was eager to fight such strong enemies.

It would be to Austin's advantage if he could also tthose corpse demons.
After witnessing their real strength, he decided not to waste any more ttesting them.
He extracted fifteen flashes of spiritual sense and controlled them to penetrate the fifteen corpse demons' heads. Each ray of spiritual sense was enormously powerful.
Soon after, Austin found spiritual marks which Jim had left in the corpse demons' heads.
He observed those spiritual signs carefully and discovered that Jim had controlled those corpse demons using the Corpse Controlling Spell.
‘The Corpse Controlling Spell he cast is the sone | had mastered, ' Austin exclaimed in surprise.
However, to Austin's dismay, Jim's spiritual sense was far stronger than his.
That was why the spiritual signs he had made were more complicated than the signs Austin created.
'l got to master Corpse Controlling Spell from the jade slip, which the Ghost Sect leader owned.
How did Jim learn Ghost Sect's Corpse Controlling Spell?’ Austin wondered.
He obviously had no clue as to how Jim got affiliated with the Ghost Sect.
Getting over his curiosity, Austin activated his spiritual sense power and erased the spiritual signs created by Jim.
He then attached his own spiritual sense to the corpses’ spiritual souls and left his own marks.
Soon enough, he had the corpse demons under his control.
The fifteen corpse demons stopped attacking Austin and instead stood around him.
Austin and the gnlaid their eyes on Jim's body, which was left unguarded.
"It seems like there are svaluable treasures inside this old man's remains," the gnnoted.
The gnwas apparently well-acquainted with treasures.
He had inherent sensitivity to various kinds of precious natural resources.
His words greatly piqued Austin's interest.
He lightly reached out to Jim's body with his hand containing soft vital energy force.
The next second, the dead man's remains turned into ashes and fell onto the floor.
That moment, Jim, the former master of the castle, had vanished entirely from the world along with all his remains.
Meanwhile, two essential items were among the ashes.
A green seedling, which was covered in grey specks of dust, immediately drew Austin's attention.
It was as big as a human's finger.
Austin and the gnwere taken by great surprise.
They could feel the vigorous life energy inside the plant.
The two unleashed their spiritual sense to check it, and moments later, they felt great vigor as if they had sucked up all the energy from that place.
Standing beside the seedling, both Austin and the gnfelt the touch of a gentle breeze.
It was like spring had just arrived, and everything had cback to life.
"This is not a common plant, ' both of them thought.
"Boy, this seedling is filled with extrpower and vitality. | bet it is a top-grade treasure.
Although it is just a seedling, it contains such intense energy.
If you cultivate it carefully, it will be more useful when it grows up," the gnuttered as he stared on the plant.
Austin nodded his head in agreement. He, too, was astonished at the sight of the seedling.
He released his vital energy force, and the green plant was in his hand within a second.
After he put aside the seedling, his eyes then fell on the other item.
It was a black nameplate.
He didn't know the material of the plate; it was neither made of iron nor jade.
Austin picked up the black plate and saw several words on it, which read: The Guardian of Shadow Sect.
"Shadow Sect!" he cried in a low voice.
He was not expecting to read those words.
Austin had heard about the sect, but he had never gotten acquainted with it.
Back when he was in the Violet Orchid Empire, the leader of Ghost Sect mentioned Shadow Sect before he died.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe told Austin that Ghost Sect was just one of Shadow Sect's branches.
'Did Jim have something to do with the Shadow Sect? Why would he have this nameplate? And what's the Shadow Sect?" Austin sank in deep thoughts as he stared at the black nameplate.
A few seconds later, he cback to his senses and put the plate into his Space Ring.
Just when he thought there were only two important items in that area, he spotted a corpse-collecting bag.
As he studied the bag, he found that it was much better than his.
The bag could keep at least a hundred corpse demons.
Austin picked it up and placed the fifteen corpse demons in it.
He had just obtained more powerful weapons to use.
"What's this?" the gnsuddenly murmured.
It seemed like he had discovered something new.
The gnmoved towards the altar and stopped in a spot two hundred meters away from it.
He released his beast soul energy to check something.
Taking notice of the serious look on his face, Austin was certain that the gnhad seen something.
Austin moved to his side in an instant.
Looking at the gnome, he unleashed his spiritual sense to perceive his surroundings, trying to search what had caught the former's attention.
A couple of minutes passed, and he didn't find anything.
Out of curiosity, he asked, "What's happening?" "This is the sign of spatial teleportation power. | found a teleportation passage under the palace," the gnreplied.
He still continued to use his beast soul energy as he probed further.
"A spatial teleportation passage?" Austin asked.
He was stunned to hear what the gnhad said.
He knew that teleportation power was a spatial force.
However, he was not very much familiar with spatial force.
He stood silently, waiting for the gnto fill him in for more details.
The gnextended his search and walked to another area.
He exerted his teleportation ability, and within a second, the place where he stood started to shake.
