Soul Puppets

The array inscriptions on the ring lit up with a bright golden light. Jiu Shen then felt a connection with the ten stone statues inside the hall. He could sense that each of these stone statues had souls sleeping inside of them, and the ring in his hands was the key to awakening these things! 

Not long later, the stone statues suddenly cracked and revealed their forms. They became more human-like except for their lifeless and vacant eyes. Only those who were proficient in Array Formations and those with strong spiritual power would be able to notice that these guys were Soul Puppets! 

The ten Soul Puppets had souls controlling them, so Jiu Shen didn't need to give them a very detailed command as to what they needed to do. They were like humans! The only nonhuman thing about them was their bodies since they were made from precious resources. 

"Master!" The ten Soul Puppets greeted Jiu Shen in monotonous and cold voices.
