Just as Xiao Shi was about to pick up the dropped items, “You… Why did you kill our townspeople?!” Mayor Fang’s aged voice suddenly sounded behind Xiao Shi. Xiao Shi turned around. He saw Mayor Fang’s exasperated expression. “We invited you here to protect our safety, not to kill us!!”
What does he mean? Xiao Shi frowned. The reason why he had directly killed his way out when he heard the commotion outside was completely because of the domination he had suffered. This meant that the corpse that appeared would bring harm to the people in the town. He had to deal with it.
He had dealt with the corpse, but the mayor was blaming him for killing their townspeople? This confused Xiao Shi. Fortunately, he did not need to think about how to answer the command he received. He said directly, “Sorry. I was heavy-handed this time. 1 didn’t hold back. There won’t be a next time.”
Mayor Fang snorted. He left with a dissatisfied expression.
Hiss!
Black smoke suddenly rose from Xiao Shi’s body. The clarity of his entire vision had clearly decreased. His entire body became illusory. Especially his left hand, it was already in a translucent state.
Xiao Shi’s heart sank. He realized that his previous actions had caused him to be severely punished. His actions here could not be done as he pleased. Instead, there were restrictions. It had to match his current identity and persona.
“My current mission here is to protect the safety of this town. Once I kill the townspeople, I will be punished. And I can only withstand this punishment three times at most! After three times, I will directly turn into nothingness and dissipate.” Xiao Shi took a deep breath. He felt a huge crisis.
This punishment was something he could not resist. Even the Myriad Treasure Pagoda Spirit in the depths of his soul and the black coffin in his body could not help him resolve this punishment.
This punishment… was a rule! There was no way to avoid it! Once he was punished three times, he would definitely die.
“Not only will I be punished for killing the people in town, but if 1 can’t protect the people in town and cause them to die, I might also be punished.” Xiao Shi frowned deeply. If he could move freely here, he would not be so worried. However, the dominance he received made him unable to move freely here.
For example, a crisis that would threaten the townspeople had just appeared. He would not be able to control himself and directly charge towards the crisis that appeared. The only thing he could choose was to use whatever methods to face the enemy in battle. Through the punishment he received this time, he realized that even if he faced such a corpse that would bring danger to the townspeople, he could not kill it. Instead, he had to use other methods.
“This corpse is a citizen of this town. He must have lost control. Since I can’t kill him, what I have to do is suppress him to prevent him from hurting the other townspeople when he loses control.”
However, judging from the strength of the town’s corpse just now, it was not easy to suppress it. First of all, the attacks of spiritual sense and soul power were ineffective against it. Xiao Shi felt that this was very likely the reason for the system. This world was an ancient ruin.
Before coming, Xiao Shi had already learned from Xiang Zizhen that the so-called ancient ruins often dated back to the dynasty before the Great Wu Empire. It would probably be hundreds of thousands of years or even millions of years from now.
In such a distant era, its cultivation system was definitely different from the current cultivation system. Perhaps at that time, there was no Martial Soul Realm existence at all. Therefore, when he used the power of the Martial Soul Realm to attack the other party, his power failed on the spot. He had to use the power that existed in that era. Only then could he shake the other party.
Now, Xiao Shi was certain. Body Tempering was a system that had been passed down from ancient times.
“Fortunately, I entered this place as the main body. If he came in with the clone, I wouldn’t be able to do anything to him with this corpse alone.” Xiao Shi sighed in his heart. Here, only the physical strength under Body Tempering was effective. Other powers were useless.
As he thought, Xiao Shi picked up the item that had fallen to the ground and relevant information immediately appeared in his vision.

[Introduction: During the era of the Youyue Dynasty, a famous artifact master betrayed the Youyue Dynasty for some reason.

[Remark 3: When you hold the Moon Sealing Dagger, you will be viewed as an enemy by Youyue.]
[Remark 4: This item is an illusion and does not really exist.]
Xiao Shi looked at the Moon Sealing Dagger in his hand. His eyes flickered. From the information of this Moon Sealing Dagger, he had a better understanding of this world. He realized that this world was the Youyue Dynasty many years ago..
