Wild Dogs

Xue Ming shook his head and said with emotion.

Upon hearing this, a voice came from inside, filled with helplessness.

"I have no choice. The cultivation method I practice cannot possess another body. I can only be reborn by borrowing another's womb."

"You brat actually managed to seize the body and live for so many years."

The voice inside grew increasingly angry, letting out a heavy snort.

"But what good will it do you even if you possess someone?"

"Aren't you still just a lowly Core Formation cultivator?"

"And now that he's so old, there's still no possibility of him breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage."

Upon hearing this, Xue Ming chuckled and waved his hand dismissively.

"You don't need to worry about that."

"The body I possessed is quite good in terms of physique and spiritual roots. As long as I find enough things, I can return to the Nascent Soul Realm."

As Xue Ming spoke, he raised his hand and patted his chest.

"As for you, you still need to continue your arduous training."

Hearing the sarcasm in Xue Ming's words, another sound came from his stomach.

"Hey, what do you want from me?"

"If we calculate the timeline, it would be absolutely impossible to recover to the Nascent Soul stage in less than a hundred or two hundred years."

"If you come to me now, there's nothing I can do to help."

Hearing this, Xue Ming laughed and took half a step forward.

"If I can help, how could I not?"

"I've found the right person this time to help me find that thing inside."

The person inside immediately raised their voice a few decibels.

"What? That thing inside?"

"Have you really found the right person?"

Xue Ming crossed his arms and nodded emphatically.

"certainly."

The voices inside were loud and full of confusion.

"Then why don't you possess him?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan's heart skipped a beat, his heart pounded wildly, and he couldn't help but take two steps back.

Seeing this, Xue Ming glanced at Yang Fan and sighed.

"Hey, this kid's physique meets the requirements, but it's the kind of physique that's really bad."

"Possession is no different from courting death."

Xue Ming grew increasingly helpless as he spoke, shaking his head repeatedly.

"More importantly, I have already possessed a body once. If I possess another body, there will be no way I can break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and there will be no way I can break through to the Deity Transformation stage."

"We've spent most of our lives striving, fighting to the death, all for the sake of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, haven't we?"

As Xue Ming spoke, he clenched his fist tightly.

"I haven't even reached the Nascent Soul stage yet, and I need your help right now."

The person inside couldn't help but sneer upon hearing this.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to be a Core Formation cultivator too."

"Okay, so what do you need me to do?"

Xue Ming took half a step forward and spoke in a low voice.

"Didn't we already discuss this before?"

"I've found this kid now, a kid with a special physique."

"This kid can do what we tell him when the time comes."

Xue Ming raised his hand and pointed towards Yang Fan.

"After we finish this, we'll do our next task, and we'll get the same rewards as before, splitting the profits 50/50."

The person inside immediately retorted, with a hint of doubt.

"But the two of us aren't enough, are we?"

Xue Ming responded with a resolute expression.

"No problem, I've already found a helper, a friend I know in this particular body, he'll come to help us too."

The person inside remained silent for a moment, their voice filled with dissatisfaction.

"If there are two people, we can split the contents 50/50. But if there are three people, how do we divide it?"

Xue Ming grinned and raised his hand in a throat-slitting gesture.

"Why not just kill him?"

"Let's wait for him to help us remove all the restrictions inside. Then the three of us can work together to break the restrictions, kill him, and all the stuff will be ours, right?"

Xue Ming's gaze swept over Yang Fan beside him, his eyes full of calculation.

"Moreover, his wife has a very special constitution. When the time comes, you control his wife, and I'll let this kid go in with me to search. We'll definitely be able to find what's inside."

"How about we get everything out of there?"

Xue Ming raised his chin and spoke to the old man's belly.

"Is my suggestion alright?"

Hearing this, my stomach calmed down for a moment.

After a while, a voice came from inside again, tinged with hesitation.

"Okay, but you can't lie to me."

"If you dare to lie to me again this time, I won't let you off the hook."

Xue Ming waved his hand, his expression casual yet resolute.

"Don't worry, we've been friends for years. You know my secret, and I know yours. Let's not hold it against each other."

As Xue Ming spoke, he raised his hand and gently stroked the old man's belly.

A moment later, a sound came from inside, and then a fetus wrapped in an umbilical cord jumped out.

The fetus looked tiny, but it coldly surveyed its surroundings before forcefully ripping off its own umbilical cord.

"Hmm, this body is too weak. I need to find a better body now."

He stared at Yang Fan, who was terrified and quickly took two steps back.

Upon seeing this, the fetus chuckled and stopped in its tracks.

"Hey, don't be afraid, I won't possess you."

"The cultivation technique I practice cannot be used for possession, so I have never learned how to possess a body. You don't need to worry."

After looking around, the fetus took a deep breath, and then the surrounding spiritual energy surged in.

The fetus grew into a teenager in the blink of an eye.

He stretched his muscles and bones, and a series of cracking sounds came from his body.

"Yes, very good."

Seeing the two of them, Xue Ming walked up and took out a piece of clothing from his storage bag.

"Alright, I've prepared a set of clothes for you. Take a look."

As he spoke, Xue Ming tossed him a piece of clothing.

The man reached out and caught it, then immediately began to change his clothes.

Seeing the two so intimately connected, Yang Fan felt a chill run down his spine.

Only now did he understand what was going on; it turned out that Xue Ming and this person had entered this place long ago.

However, when they suffered a great calamity, Xue Ming and this person chose different ways to escape.

This person lived inside a corpse, surviving by using a surrogate womb.

Xue Ming then possessed a young man and escaped.

Then Xue Ming went into hiding in the Blood Fiend Sect to cultivate diligently.

When his cultivation level recovered to around the Core Formation stage, he then encouraged Xue Ji and the other two to set out together.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan's expression grew increasingly grim.

Moreover, judging from Xue Ming's words, it seems he can also possess another body.

However, because his spiritual root was too poor, Xue Ming did not make a move.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan couldn't help but feel secretly fortunate.

His poor aptitude ironically saved his life at a crucial moment.

The boy, now dressed, looked up at Xue Ming, his arms crossed over his chest.

"Alright, Xue Ming, what are your plans next?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Ming looked ahead and pointed to the depths of the secret realm.

"What other plans could we have? Naturally, the two of us will continue down the same path we came from before."
