Chapter 220: Strange Puppet, Sneak Attack on the Demonic Path
Upon hearing Man Huzi's words, the three late Jindan cultivators immediately showed gratitude on their faces.
Man Huzi, a well-known demon in Chaos Star Sea, is now protecting them, while Wan Tianming, a pillar of righteousness, wants to kill them.
This is, admittedly, somewhat ironic, because the righteous path has always prided itself on being benevolent and righteous.
However, these three people also knew in their hearts that cooperating with the evil monks such as Man Huzi was just courting death.
Man Huzi did want to kill them in his heart, but now due to the strong influence of the righteous side, both sides had to unite.
When they are no longer useful, the first person to kill them will probably be Man Huzi.
Therefore, faced with the current situation, the three cultivators in the late Jindan stage are all thinking rapidly, racking their brains to think about how they can survive under such circumstances.
After thinking about it, it seems that the only way to survive is to rush into the inner hall!
There are many stone chambers in the inner hall. With the incomplete map of the sky in your hand, you can enter one of them.
There is a treasure in every stone chamber. After taking the treasure, you will be teleported away from Xutian Palace.
This is the only way to survive. Not only can you escape, but you can also get a treasure.
The three late Jindan cultivators had flickering eyes. They showed gratitude and flattery to Man Huzi and Qing Yi Jushi, while whispering to each other, discussing how to escape.
They didn't really want to help the two evil people resist the righteous monks.
A group of people were confronting each other with their own ulterior motives. Man Huzi faced Wan Tianming, and Qing Yi Jushi confronted Tian Wuzi with cold eyes.
The three late Jindan cultivators were confronting the old man who looked like a farmer.
According to what Mr. Qing Yi said before, with the strength of the three of them, they can stop the old farmer.
However, these three people had no idea whether they could really stop it. They did not have a clear understanding of how powerful a Nascent Soul cultivator was.
"Man Hu Zi, since you insist on protecting those three people, don't blame me for being rude. Those two people from Xinggong are not coming anyway. In that case, let's compete here!" Wan Tianming said coldly.
"Haha, okay, Wan Tianming, I've long wanted to try out the power of your Tianluo Zhengong. Come on!"
Barbarian Beard roared, and suddenly, his body grew a lot larger out of thin air, becoming extremely tall and strong, with densely packed golden scales all over his body, like a demon god.
Wan Tianming had an indifferent expression. He clasped his palms together in front of his chest, and then a raging purple flame ignited all over his body. He instantly turned into a purple fire man and rushed towards Man Huzi.
Suddenly, several silver bands of light appeared around Man Huzi's body, circling and dancing, dreamy and erratic.
These silver light bands blocked the purple fire dragon transformed by Wan Tianming's Ming Luo Zhengong, preventing it from getting close.
Obviously, although Man Huzi's Totian Magic Skill claims to be the best defense in the Chaos Star Sea, he would never do such a stupid thing as using his skills to resist Wan Tianming's true fire.
The two mid-Nascent Soul cultivators started fighting, so it was impossible for the others to just sit there and watch.
Mr. Qing Yi flicked his sleeves, and in an instant hundreds of fist-sized green light balls flew out from his sleeves.
There were actually hundreds of green thornbirds. After they flew out, they immediately fluttered towards Tian Wuzi.
When Tian Wuzi saw this scene, he smiled coldly. A light flashed from his waist, and he released a translucent strange giant turtle.
"Li Gui?!" Upon seeing this scene, Mr. Qing Yi exclaimed.
"You actually borrowed the Li Turtle from that old ghost Tianyuanzi?" His face suddenly looked a little ugly.
The spiritual beast Li Gui is much more powerful than his green thorn birds.
Tian Wuzi chuckled and stretched out his hand to knock hard on the turtle shell. Suddenly, the giant turtle's pair of green eyes flashed with a fierce light, and the turtle's mouth opened, and in an instant, snow-white cold air rushed out like an overwhelming force.
Like a white raging wave, the flock of blue birds rushing towards them swept over.
The green thornbirds were not to be outdone. They opened their sharp beaks and spit out thin strands of green flames, which quickly gathered into a huge green pillar of fire, colliding with the white cold air.
For a while, the situation was at a stalemate and seemed difficult to resolve.
Obviously, these two people were people who valued their lives. Even after the fight started, they did not rush forward to fight head-on, but instead released their spirit beasts to attack each other first.
This formed a sharp contrast with the fierce fight between Wan Tianming and Man Huzi over there. The two of them actually seemed to be slacking off.
On the other side, the thin and dark old man who looked like an old farmer suddenly turned over his palm, and a juicy green willow branch appeared between his fingers.
After he gently waved the willow branch, countless green phantoms flew out from its body in circles. The area within more than ten feet suddenly became lush and green, as if it had turned into a green ocean.
The three Jindan monks were surrounded by this green ocean, and countless thin green rays shot out from it. Some were extremely flexible, trying to entangle them, and some were as sharp as arrows, as if they could cut through everything.
As soon as they started fighting, the three Jindan cultivators were immediately at a disadvantage and could only hold on with the help of their own magic weapons.
The old farmer did not seem to be in a hurry at all. He had the patience to do things slowly and carefully, and slowly surrounded them with the green silk threads.
The battle between Man Huzi and Wan Tianming became more and more intense, and Man Huzi had a pair of dark and dull iron gloves on his hands.
The glove has a hideous shape and is covered with spikes several inches long.
Wan Tianming swung a huge purple sword and slashed it towards Man Huzi.
At the same time, the purple flames on his body condensed into two fire dragons, flying around Man Hu Zi, trying to find the flaw in the silver light band.
Man Huzi kept punching, smashing the purple giant sword and the fire dragon. The battle between the two was so fierce that the others kept moving away from them.
After fighting for a while, the three Jindan cultivators gradually became suspicious.
These Nascent Soul cultivators seemed to be fighting extremely ferociously, with magic weapons flying everywhere and secret techniques being performed wildly, but to them it felt like they were not fighting a life-and-death battle but rather a competition of martial arts skills.
There is no hard work at all.
Could this be the battle between Nascent Soul cultivators?
Just when the three were filled with wonder and confusion, suddenly, a dark green thread appeared out of nowhere, shot out fiercely, and immediately pierced through the protective shield of a Jindan cultivator.
"ah!!!"
With a shrill scream, countless green threads swarmed in and rushed up, surrounding the Jindan cultivator in an instant.
After the screams stopped, the silk thread retreated, and the Jindan cultivator fell to the ground with lifeless eyes.
Seeing this scene, the remaining two Jindan cultivators were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
It was already difficult enough for the three of them to resist the old farmer, and now one of them has been killed. How can they resist next?
In an instant, the thought of running away emerged in the minds of both of them.
Seeing this scene, Mr. Qing Yi frowned and secretly cursed these three people for being so useless.
"Brother Man, these Jindan cultivators will be killed sooner or later, we have to find another way!" He transmitted the message while fighting with Tian Wuzi.
Barbarian Huzi immediately said, "Let's retreat into the inner hall first. Wan Tianming and the others are in a hurry to take the Xutian Ding, so they shouldn't bother with us!"
"Okay, I'll calm them down first!" responded Mr. Qing Yi.
"You two, hold on a little longer. After Brother Man uses a secret technique to temporarily force them back, we will immediately retreat into the inner hall!" The voice of Master Qing Yi came at the right time.
Hearing this, the two Jindan cultivators immediately felt relieved and quickly released more magic weapons and took out their trump cards one by one, just hoping to hold out for a little longer.
At this time, Mr. Qing Yi and Man Hu Zi looked at each other, and then Man Hu Zi roared wildly, and smashed the purple giant sword and the purple fire dragon away with several punches.
Then, he retreated violently and flew towards the giant tower.
Mr. Qing Yi also recalled the hundreds of green thornbirds almost at the same time and flew towards the giant tower.
The two men disappeared in the blink of an eye, which stunned the two Jindan cultivators.
Wan Tianming snorted coldly and flicked his hand. Two purple fire dragons pounced over and rushed towards the two Jindan cultivators.
The two men were swallowed up by the fire dragon in the blink of an eye and burned to ashes.
"Brother Wan, should we chase them?" Tian Wuzi and the old farmer gathered around Wan Tianming and asked.
"No rush. When we take the Xutian Ding, we will encounter these two people sooner or later. It won't be too late to deal with them then!" Wan Tianming said with a gloomy face.
He looked at the three Jindan masters who had died here with some doubt in his expression.
Could it be that my premonition was wrong, and the person who killed the Sanyang Old Demon did not infiltrate the Jindan cultivators, but was killed by the Sanyang Old Demon?
Or did that person ultimately choose not to enter the third level?
But, since that kind of person has come to the outside of the inner hall, how could he not come in to take a look?
Wan Tianming recalled the Jindan cultivator who was sitting on the stone bench without moving, just like Zi Ling.
He now began to suspect that there was something wrong with that Jindan cultivator.
But, what are they doing there?
Countless questions emerged in Wan Tianming's mind, and he always felt uneasy.
But no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't figure it out.
For a moment, he felt a little regretful. He should not have considered the two elders of Xing Palace before, and should have attacked Zi Ling directly.
Maybe we can force that person out.
Even if he couldn't force it out, killing a mere Zi Ling would not be a big deal for him, the leader of the Wanfa Sect.
"Forget it, maybe I'm overthinking it. The man is already dead. Let's go!" Wan Tianming said to the two people beside him.
The three of them then walked into the huge stone tower together and soon disappeared.
After the righteous people left, the place became completely quiet.
This went on for a long time, and suddenly, the teleportation array that had originally dimmed emitted a dazzling white light again.
Then, two figures blurred and then appeared there side by side.
It was Ye Changsheng and Zi Ling.
After taking a look at the surroundings, Zi Ling smiled and said:
“No matter how cunning these old monsters are, they would never have thought that Elder Ye easily killed those two people from Xinggong and searched their souls to obtain the method to control the teleportation ban!”
"Let's go. Next, we'll do as we agreed before. You go get the ten thousand year old spiritual milk, and I'll deal with these righteous and evil Nascent Souls!" Ye Changsheng said with a faint smile.
Zi Ling nodded slightly, and then the two of them turned into two streams of light and flew into the giant tower.
Many entrances appeared in front of Ye Changsheng, and no one knew where each of these entrances led to.
This is a maze-like place with criss-crossing bluestone passages, tall, solid and thick walls, and at every intersection, you will see a stone door carved with strange runes.
These stone gates are of the same size, more than ten feet long and wide, and square in shape.
On some of the stone doors, a faint light flickered, and you could tell at a glance that there was some kind of restriction on them.
However, some of the stone doors were dim, as if the restrictions had been broken.
Ye Changsheng's eyes swept across the stone doors, without stopping, he kept walking forward.
There is a treasure stored inside each of these stone doors that sparkle with spiritual light. With a fragment of the virtual sky map, one can enter and obtain the things inside.
It will also be transmitted directly.
Those whose spiritual light is dim are those whose treasures have been taken away by others.
The treasures inside the stone door on the first level were not considered good things for a Nascent Soul cultivator like him.
But for those Jindan cultivators, it is a very precious treasure and obtaining one will bring them endless benefits.
According to the memories of the two elders of Xinggong, Ye Changsheng chose one intersection after another with familiarity and walked through the maze.
Zi Ling has separated from him and followed the instructions on the map to find the stone chamber where the thousand-year-old spiritual milk is located.
After moving forward and passing through several intersections, a dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard.
Then, the sound rang out one after another and came closer, as if something huge was coming.
Ye Changsheng's expression remained unchanged, his figure suddenly flashed, a green light flashed, and he disappeared.
The next moment, a roar came from the front.
A mechanical puppet was smashed to pieces by Ye Changsheng's punch.
The puppet guards here are very powerful and can pose a certain threat to cultivators in the early Nascent Soul stage.
Fortunately, there were no puppet guards where Zi Ling was going, otherwise Ye Changsheng would not be at ease letting Zi Ling go alone.
Ye Changsheng quickly moved through the passages, smashed several puppet guards in a row, and came to a crossroads.
A small teleportation array appeared here, emitting a faint fluorescent light.
"Both the righteous and evil groups are ahead of me and have already reached the second floor. We must hurry!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
He stepped onto the teleportation array, a white light flashed, and he entered the second level.
The snake guard puppet guarding the second floor is much stronger than the wolf head puppet on the first floor.
But in front of Ye Changsheng, he still knocked them to pieces with one punch.
Looking at the pile of puppet fragments under his feet, Ye Changsheng showed regret on his face.
He had just tried to see if he could copy the puppet through analytical copying and use it for his own purposes.
The power of this puppet really made him envious.
Not to mention the snake guard puppets on the second level, just the wolf-headed puppets on the first level.
As long as there are four or five of them, they will be enough to resist a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage.
So, he just suppressed a puppet, analyzed it first, and then spent 50,000 spirit stones to copy another one.
As a result, the puppet he copied attacked him directly as soon as it appeared.
Ye Changsheng had no choice but to blow it up directly.
"I think that these puppets have been engraved with relevant commands in their bodies when they were first created, and they will attack outsiders who enter this place!"
"When I was analyzing and copying, I also copied the related commands, so these puppets will attack me as soon as they are copied!"
"Unfortunately, I know nothing about puppets. If it were a puppet master like Lord Dayan, perhaps he could see the key to controlling this puppet!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
Although the technology used to make this puppet is from the spiritual world, I think with the talent and ability of Lord Dayan, he should be able to break through this spiritual world technology.
"Perhaps, I can capture one or two puppets here first, take them out and wait until I meet Lord Dayan in the future to see if he can crack the control method of the puppets, and then I can copy them in large quantities..." Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
He reached out and picked up a turquoise stone from the pile of puppet fragments at his feet.
This is exactly the Yinming Beast Crystal, also known as the Soul Stone, that he had obtained in the Yinming Land.
This is something necessary to create high-level puppets.
"It is possible that the command to control the puppet is written in this soul stone. After all, the most special part of this puppet is this soul stone!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
After taking a look at the puppet materials, he thought about it and put them into his storage bag.
Although these things are rubbish to him, they should be extremely valuable to those who study puppets.
Continuing to move forward, Ye Changsheng soon reached the third floor.
As his vast spiritual sense emanated, he immediately saw Man Hu Zi and Qing Yi Jushi who were fighting with a puppet.
With a hint of joy on his face, Ye Changsheng murmured, "Finally I caught up with you!"
Wan Tianming and the other two came to Xutian Palace well prepared this time. Not only did they have the golden silkworm, a strange insect that could pull the Xutian Ding, they also prepared something that could help them avoid the puppet guards.
Therefore, they quickly passed through the four floors of the Xutian Palace and reached the fifth floor.
But Man Huzi and his men were not so lucky. They could only fight those puppet guards head-on. They had destroyed quite a few puppet guards along the way.
As a result, the speed naturally slowed down a lot, so he was caught up by Ye Changsheng.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, Man Huzi punched the puppet guard to pieces.
His face looked somewhat gloomy and ugly.
This was his first time coming to the inner hall of Xutian Palace, and he didn't expect these puppets to be so difficult to deal with.
The first two levels were easy enough, but the third level really took him and Mr. Qing Yi a lot of effort.
"Finally we got rid of this guy. The teleportation array should be ahead!" Mr. Qing Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
"Wan Tianming and his people run too fast!" said Man Huzi with a gloomy face.
When they were on the first level, their spiritual sense could still see Wan Tianming and the other two.
But after reaching the second floor, there was no trace of Wan Tianming and the other two completely.
Now, after being delayed on the third floor for so long, what should we do if Wan Tianming and the others have already reached the fifth floor?
Man Huzi began to feel a little anxious.
Qing Yi Jushi laughed and said, "Don't worry, Brother Man. It's not certain whether the golden silkworm can pull out the Xu Tian Ding!"
"Even if we can pull it out, it will take enough time for us to get there!"
"We just need to kill the two golden silkworms, but we must not let Wan Tianming really pull them out!" said Mr. Qing Yi with a smile.
He knew that with the strength of the evil side, they were no match for the righteous side.
Therefore, the purpose of their trip is to cause sabotage and prevent the righteous path from obtaining the Xu Tian Ding.
Although everyone is a member of the Anti-Star Alliance, they have united together long ago.
However, this alliance is only limited to the Xing Palace. The relationship between the evil path and the righteous path is not good enough to sit back and watch the other side get the Xu Tian Ding.
"Hmph, let alone pulling out the Xu Tian Ding, even prying the Xu Tian Ding open and getting the Bu Tian Dan is impossible. This time we have to act as soon as possible!" Man Hu Zi said coldly.
If the Bu Tian Dan was really as powerful as the legend said, then he would definitely not sit idly by and watch Wan Tianming get it.
It’s best to kill the golden silkworm as soon as possible!
"Let's go. Let's get to the fourth floor as soon as possible. The golden-haired puppet there is more difficult to deal with!" said Master Qing Yi with a smile.
Man Huzi nodded gloomily and walked forward first.
Mr. Qing Yi followed closely behind him. Just after he took two steps, the man with a barbarian bearded man suddenly roared and turned around.
Mr. Qing Yi was shocked, before he could react to what Man Huzi was going to do.
Suddenly, a green light flashed behind him, and a figure appeared out of nowhere and punched him on the head.
"court death!"
With a roar, Man Huzi's whole body flashed with golden light, and he rushed towards the green figure like a demon god.
"Bang!"
Man Huzi punched the green figure, but the opponent's punch hit Qing Yi Jushi's head.
After being punched by Man Huzi, the green figure just shook twice, looking like he didn't care at all.
And a large amount of golden lightning burst out from his body and rushed towards Man Hu Zi.
At the same time, the green figure's punch directly blew up Mr. Qing Yi's head, and even his Nascent Soul was almost blown up.
Fortunately, Mr. Qing Yi reacted quickly. After a sharp cry, his Nascent Soul flashed and appeared more than ten feet away.
But the green figure flashed and appeared in front of his Nascent Soul, grabbing it with one palm.
Man Huzi just threw a punch at the opponent, but saw that the opponent didn't seem to be shaken at all, and he was surprised.
Then the figure was seen flashing with green light and then disappearing immediately.
Thinking that something was not right, Man Huzi turned around and immediately saw that the figure had already grabbed Qing Yi Jushi's Nascent Soul in his hand.
"Bang!"
With a clench of his palms, the man ruthlessly crushed Mr. Qing Yi's Nascent Soul.
He killed a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage in just one
In particular, he just punched the opponent but failed to even knock him back.
This scene immediately made Man Huzi feel disappointed.
