These silver-haired people all have exquisite facial features. They can be described as handsome men and beautiful women. Most of them are between twenty and forty years old. Their long silver-white hair reflects a crystal luster under the sunlight. More than 20,000 people gathered together.
Together, they are beautiful and spectacular.
However, upon closer inspection, Yin Ning'er keenly discovered that each of these silver-haired people had dull expressions, dull eyes, and no aura in their eyes.
puppet?
A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she suddenly recalled that during the decisive battle in Xiqi, the "Dark Temple" had sacrificed a major killer weapon, the Puppet Spirit Lord, which had given the coalition forces a headache.
Right in front of the 20,000 silver-haired people stood a man in black with a yellow complexion and deformed facial features.
This person has a strange appearance and a gloomy expression. Not a single organ on his entire face can be described as "normal." Looking at him from a distance, one can't help but feel shuddering.
This weirdo holds a strange-shaped wooden stick in his right hand, with the top spiraling up, and nine bells hung on the outside. They swing gently in the breeze, making a pleasant sound of "dinging bells".
"Puppet Master, how's it going?"
Ye Jiangnan waved his right arm gently, and Yin Ning'er, who was unable to resist, appeared next to the man in black and asked him softly.
It turns out that this person betrayed the "Dark Temple" during the Xiqi War and turned to his research madman Puppet Master.
"Lord Beidou."
The puppet master turned his head and grinned at him. His deformed facial features were squeezed together, becoming more and more weird and disgusting. "I have never seen such excellent material. It's great. It's so perfect."
Okay, in just a short time, I have already allowed five thousand babies to complete their evolution."
Even though Shi Yu revealed the identity of "Ye Jiangnan" on the battlefield, everyone in Yiren Valley, including the puppet master, had no real sense of it and still referred to him as "Beidou".
"Five thousand?" Ye Jiangnan nodded, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, "I really did not misjudge the person. No one can achieve such a feat except you."
"Your Excellency, you are so complimentary." The puppet master's smile became even more joyful, not hiding the proud look in his eyes at all.
"By the way, of the five thousand people who have advanced to the level of spiritual master, give me two thousand to take away." Ye Jiangnan suddenly changed the subject, "I will be of great use."
"Two thousand? That much?"
The puppet master's expression changed slightly, with a trace of reluctance unconsciously showing on his face.
"Don't worry, new materials will be delivered soon."
As if he had read through his mind, Ye Jiangnan laughed and comforted, "Here I am, not only the Silver Clan, but also candidates with various special physiques. You will never be short of experimental materials."
"Thank you, Lord Beidou." The puppet master's face was filled with joy, and his eyes suddenly fell on Yin Ning'er behind him, "Isn't this the girl from Piaohua Palace who can heal wounds? Could it be that she is also...?"
"I can still use her if I keep her, but I can't give it to you for the time being." Ye Jiangnan smiled slightly and shook his head slowly.
Hearing what the two of them said to each other, actually treating many people, including herself, as experimental materials without taking human life seriously, Yin Ning'er's pretty face turned pale, and her heart gradually sank to the bottom.
However, no matter how frightened she was, she did not run away. She just bit her lower lip tightly with her teeth and stared angrily at the two demons in front of her.
She knew clearly that now that she had lost all her spiritual power and had no strength to restrain a chicken, she would never be able to escape from the hands of a peerless strongman like Ye Jiangnan.
"That's such a shame."
After being rejected by Ye Jiangnan, the puppet master couldn't help showing a look of regret on his face. Then he reached out and took out a one-foot-long wooden stick from his arms, and handed it to Ye Jiangnan respectfully, "That's right.
What a coincidence, this little soul staff can control two thousand treasures, please accept it."
Although the wooden stick is short, its shape is quite similar to the soul stick in the hand of the puppet master. There are two bells hanging on the periphery, which float in the wind and make a tinkling sound.
"Thank you." Ye Jiangnan was not polite to him. He reached out to take the short stick and said with a smile, "In a short time, all cultivators in the world will become your experimental subjects."
"That's really exciting." The puppet master squinted his eyes with an intoxicated look on his face, as if he had already seen that day coming.
"gone!"
Ye Jiangnan gently shook the small soul staff in his hand. Among the 20,000 white-haired puppets in the valley, about 2,000 people suddenly started to rise into the air and landed behind him in an orderly manner. Each one lowered their eyebrows.
First of all, the attitude is extremely respectful.
"Why is their hair color the same as yours?"
Yin Ning'er stared at these white-haired puppets with dull eyes for a long time, and suddenly asked.
"They are all my people."
Ye Jiangnan answered truthfully, "In other words, they are all Beidou tribesmen."
"You, you don't even spare your own people?" Yin Ning'er's expression changed, and she scolded in a sweet voice, "You are really worse than a beast!"
"I just took Beidou's body. What does the life and death of his tribe have to do with me?" Ye Jiangnan was not angry when she scolded him. Instead, he smiled lightly and said, "What's more, the so-called human nature and morality are just for the strong.
It's just a tool to restrain the weak, it means nothing to me."
"You, you..." Yin Ning'er's face turned red, but she didn't know how to retort.
"You are different from them. Since you have cultivated the 'Yi Qi Hunyuan Jin', you can be regarded as half a descendant of the Ye family. Get rid of these boring weak thoughts as soon as possible." Unexpectedly, Ye Jiangnan suddenly changed the subject, "Remember, weak people cannot fight with others.
The qualifications of the strong for equal dialogue, and the meaning of their existence is to be exploited, squeezed and used by us. Always look upward, and do not bow your head casually or degrade yourself."
"What nonsense!"
Ye Jiangnan's words instantly reminded Yin Ning'er of the atrocities committed by the "Dark Temple" against the medicine tower. An indescribable cramping feeling surged into her heart. She felt furious and couldn't help shouting angrily.
"I'll take you to another place." Ye Jiangnan glanced at her and said slowly, "This way you will have a more intuitive feeling."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly waved his right arm, and his body once again lit up with a dazzling aqua blue light.
Yin Ning'er felt a bright light flash in front of her eyes, and the scene suddenly changed. Looking around, she found that she was in a huge cave.
I don’t know where the exit of the cave is, and no sunlight enters. It’s dark and cold inside. There are a few spiritual crystal lamps scattered on the cave wall. The insignificant light can only make people see things, but they can’t see clearly.
.
People were coming and going in front of me, and it was extremely noisy in my ears. There were men chatting, women screaming, and babies crying.
An unpleasant smell hit her face, mixed with the faint smell of blood, sweat and another indescribable pungent smell. It was indescribably nauseating and unbearable. Yin Ning'er felt that her stomach was churning, and she was unconscious.
He was almost vomiting while being protected with all his strength.
"What is this place?"
She covered her beautiful nose with one hand and pressed her chest with the other, glaring at Ye Jiangnan fiercely.
"Look at those pregnant women, they are all women of the Silver Clan." Ye Jiangnan pointed to the direction of the stench, "They are also the mothers of those puppets outside."
Yin Ning'er followed his fingers and looked, and sure enough she found many silver-haired women lying not far away, each with a round belly, some gnashing their teeth, some wailing sharply, and the number of them reached thousands.
So much.
Several of the pregnant women seemed to have discovered Ye Jiangnan's existence, and a hint of fear and resentment suddenly appeared in their already painful eyes.
In front of every white-haired pregnant woman, there will be a man in black sitting cross-legged. These men have their right arms raised in front of them, and they don't know what they are doing to the women.
"Back then, I read Beidou's memory and found the hiding place of the Baiyin clan." Ye Jiangnan continued, "At that time, the entire clan only had more than 2,000 people, and the population was less than one-tenth of what it is now."
He spoke unhurriedly, his voice was smooth and gentle, but Yin Ning'er's heart skipped a beat for some reason, and she had a vague feeling that she might be about to hear something extraordinary.
"By chance, I discovered that the Silver Clan's physique is very excellent, and their understanding of the way of heaven is far better than ordinary people." As expected, Ye Jiangnan's next words made her feel frightened and terrified, "And their bodies,
It can also be used to refine an extremely precious treasure."
"It's just that to refine a treasure, a thousand Silver tribesmen are needed. According to the original number of people in the tribe, it can't meet my needs at all, so I used all the fertile women and strong men in the entire tribe to
They are all locked up here, forcing them to continue to have children, and a large part of the men and women born will stay here to continue working and create more people for me."
"In just twenty years, the Baiyin clan has grown from a small clan of two thousand people to the large tribe of tens of thousands now. Isn't it interesting?"
Ye Jiangnan had a smile on his face, as if he was chatting about a relaxing anecdote, but Yin Ning'er's expression turned extremely ugly.
"No, it's impossible!" Her face was full of disbelief, "It's only been twenty years, how could the population more than ten times increase?"
"By the way, I forgot to mention them." Ye Jiangnan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and pointed at the men in black in front of the pregnant woman, "Every one of them has mastered the way of time, even though they are just fakes.
, but it can also increase the flow of time in a small range, so it only takes fifteen days for these women to get pregnant and give birth to a child, and it only takes more than half a year for a baby to grow to the age of sixteen."
"You, you are not human!"
Yin Ning'er finally couldn't bear it anymore, screamed, raised her hand and hit him hard.
