Although the woman's appearance was identical to that of the female ghost in the Soul-collecting Bottle, through his Yin Yang Eyes, Chen Hao discovered that the Yin Soul of the woman, who was revered by the other bound spirits as the Sect Hierarch's wife, had a completely different appearance.

Suddenly, the four words "To borrow a body for resurrection" entered Chen Hao's mind. Clearly, that woman had been resurrected by Luo Pengfei using the spell of borrowing a body to return a soul.

As for why Luo Pengfei would do so, Chen Hao guessed that he had never forgotten the woman who was willing to throw herself into a well to die with him.

However, Chen Hao could not understand why Luo Pengfei, if he had not forgotten that woman, would heartlessly seal her Yin Soul at the bottom of the well, instead using another Yin Soul to revive her flesh and keep it by his side?

"Perhaps the human heart is complex indeed; you can never fully understand some people's actions," Chen Hao sighed helplessly to himself.

"Follow me, everyone!" At this moment, Yao Qingyuan's voice interrupted Chen Hao's thoughts, and he had already opened the door to the rightmost Barrier.

Immediately, a thick stench of decay wafted out from within the Barrier, almost enough to make one vomit.

After exchanging glances, Chen Hao, Ye Yuqiao, Xie Xiaofeng, and Tang Jing followed Yao Qingyuan into the Barrier designed specifically for refining Soul Corpses.

The Barrier for refining Soul Corpses consisted of seventeen layers, and the portion they had just entered was the ninth layer.

Upon entering, they were immediately confronted with numerous huge vats.

"So many Yin-Yang vats!" Tang Jing exclaimed in astonishment.

Yao Qingyuan nodded and explained, "These Yin-Yang vats are filled with corpses that are about to become Soul Corpses."

At this time, Chen Hao, who had activated his Nether Vision in his left eye, first looked down to the very bottom of the Barrier, then raised his head to see the highest level, and sighed, "This Barrier contains over a dozen layers! Each layer is filled with Yin-Yang vats."

Hearing Chen Hao say this, Yao Qingyuan was startled, then he turned back to examine Chen Hao. Noticing the Enchanted Seal on Chen Hao's left eye, he came to a sudden realization as to why Chen Hao could see through all the floors of the Barrier and sighed, "So you have a mystical Enchanted Seal on your left eye. No wonder Luo Pengfei considers you a very troublesome problem, instructing me to deploy ten of the strongest Martial Soul Corpses and ten of the most poisonous Poisonous Soul Corpses to deal with you."

"But you did not do so. In fact, you only deployed three Martial Soul corpses and one Poisonous Soul Corpse!" Chen Hao said.

"That's right!" Yao Qingyuan nodded, then lamented, "If I had followed Luo Pengfei's orders, I'm afraid millions would have died."

Chen Hao was taken aback and after a pause added, "But you still helped him refine so many Soul Corpses. If one day he personally comes to release all these Soul Corpses, it won't just be a town or a city of people that dies."

Yao Qingyuan showed a look of shame and lowered his head slightly, saying, "That's precisely the main reason I sought you out. You see, I've been refining Soul Corpses here for nearly two hundred years, producing more than ten thousand in total. Yet the Soul Corpses you saw within the Feipeng Sect were only about five thousand."

Hearing what Yao Qingyuan said, a look of horror immediately shot from the eyes of Chen Hao, Tang Jing, and Xie Xiaofeng.

"Could it be that the other six thousand-plus Soul Corpses have already..."

"That's right!" Yao Qingyuan nodded, "Luo Pengfei has already started to act, and the other six thousand plus soul corpses were divided into six batches and transported to six different locations over a month ago. Follow me."

After that, Yao Qingyuan led Chen Hao and the others to the seventh layer of the barrier, stopping in front of one of the yin yang urns.

"The soul corpses being brewed in this yin yang urn are called Martial Soul Corpses!" As Yao Qingyuan spoke, he tore off the spell attached to the yin yang urn, then he proceeded to open the lid of the urn, and a soul corpse with its upper body bare emerged from it.

Yao Qingyuan quickly affixed the spell he had just torn off to the forehead of the soul corpse to prevent it from moving about. Then, Yao Qingyuan took out a small, sharp knife from his person and stabbed it toward the arm of the soul corpse.

With a "ping," the tip of the small knife broke off—the skin of the soul corpse was as hard as iron!

"This is a Diamond Soul Corpse!" Yao Qingyuan said, patting the arm of the soul corpse, which made two "bang bang" sounds, "Let alone knives, even bullets and shells can't penetrate their bodies!"

Hearing this, Chen Hao and the rest were all stunned speechless.

"It's unbelievable, is Luo Pengfei brewing these soul corpses for war?" Chen Hao murmured in astonishment.

"That's right!" Yao Qingyuan nodded, his gaze very determined, "Let me show you another type of soul corpse."

Five minutes later, Yao Qingyuan led Chen Hao and the other four to the very bottom layer of the barrier. Unlike the conditions of the several layers above, the urns on the bottom layer were not covered, and purple yin qi and blue corpse qi were constantly emanating from within the urns.

"The soul corpses in these urns are still in the process of being brewed," said Yao Qingyuan, "but they are also almost done, at most seven days away. These soul corpses are called Explosive Soul Corpses, and they are the soul corpses Luo Pengfei values most. These soul corpses will explode, the power of which can blow up a tower. However, the most terrifying aspect is not that, but the fact that these soul corpses will quickly resurrect and come back to life by absorbing the yin qi between heaven and earth after exploding!"

"This!" Chen Hao, Xie Xiaofeng, and Tang Jing, all three were shocked and wore an expression of disbelief on their faces.

"Besides the Poisonous Soul Corpses, Martial Soul Corpses, Diamond Soul Corpses, and Explosive Soul Corpses you saw just now, there are 17 other types of soul corpses in the barrier."

"Seventeen types!" Chen Hao, Xie Xiaofeng, and Tang Jing were again astonished, "Did you invent and brew all these soul corpses by yourself?"

Yao Qingyuan gave a wry smile and nodded slightly.

"This is truly a real expert and a genius!" Xie Xiaofeng praised. He sighed and then, with a tone of pity, said, "It's a pity that you've used your talent to brew these harmful soul corpses, taking the wrong path and straying into the demonic way!"

Seeing the shame on Yao Qingyuan's face, Tang Jing gently nudged Xie Xiaofeng in the chest with her elbow and said, "You shouldn't say that, he must have some unspeakable compelling reason, otherwise why would he go to such lengths to bring us here and tell us all this without reservation."

Afterward, looking at Yao Qingyuan, Tang Jing gave an awkward smile and then asked, "Sir, were you coerced by Luo Pengfei to brew these bodies for him?"

Yao Qingyuan appeared stunned before nodding, a shadow then falling upon his face, the look of pain and sorrow also emerging. After trembling a few times, he revealed how Luo Pengfei had abducted his wife's yin soul to force him into service and how after his death, Luo Pengfei reneged on his promise and continued to use his wife's yin soul to coerce him into brewing soul corpses.
