Chapter 692 - 335: Nether Blue Flame, Inorganic Hidden Spirit Puppet
The fusion of the two, within the Upper Realm, he dares to say he’s not inferior to anyone. The Brute Puppet Sect can also reach its peak because of it.
"Hmm!"
Suddenly, the Master of Many Evils furrowed his brow, his eyes focused, and his gaze abruptly looked five thousand miles away.
The Inorganic Hidden Spirit Puppet, hidden deep underground, disappeared suddenly and without any warning.
The Inorganic Hidden Spirit Puppet was in sync with his mind, although it lacked the ability to hide, it had basic investigation methods. Within a range of three thousand miles, even if a mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator used a Concealing Elixir, traces could still be found.
But now, it suddenly and unannounced disappeared, and even the several Divine Souls of the Golden Core Cultivators within the Celestial Secret Hidden Spirit Puppet had completely lost contact with his Divine Soul.
"Not good!"
The Master of Many Evils immediately realized something was seriously wrong. He instantly used an Escape Technique, flying along the path he came.
Caring not to hide himself.
Caring not about the battlefield at Cold Pool Mist Valley.
"This person is heading directly to that place, clearly having divined something, and has seen through the battlefield’s Inorganic Hidden Spirit Puppet... Such divination skills are definitely not something an ordinary cultivator can possess!"
The more he thought, the more alarmed he became, the Master of Many Evils even began to use an Escape Talisman, instantly fleeing a thousand miles.
"Luckily, this old man is cautious enough and lucky enough that his first target was only the Inorganic Hidden Spirit Puppet." The Master of Many Evils looked back, unable to detect any Golden Core presence, let out a small sigh of relief, and continued escaping further with the aid of Flying Escape Technique.
While escaping, the Master of Many Evils secretly cursed, "No wonder that old rascal Lu Feng’s Divine Soul was injured and still dared to protect Lu Chan, knowing this old man’s purpose. It turns out the Lu Family has helpers.
No, if the Lu Family had such a strong Golden Core helper capable of divining the Inorganic Hidden Spirit Puppet, why would they have ceded the Qi Family’s land to the Qi Guang Sect before, giving away most of the profits?
What’s really going on here?"
The more he thought about it, the more puzzled the Master of Many Evils became, when suddenly a chilling voice sounded by his ear, "You are quite vigilant and very decisive as well."
"Damn it!"
The Master of Many Evils didn’t hesitate to use another Escape Talisman.
He had already highly regarded the opponent but didn’t expect to end up underestimating this person.
Upper Realm.
Definitely Upper Realm.
Within thousands of miles, caught up instantly, it must also be a Body Refining Cultivator.
And not a low level one.
"Damn it, how could the Lu Family have such a strong figure behind them? Such a powerhouse, even Longteng Liyi might not be a match, right?" The Master of Many Evils couldn’t help but curse Lu Feng’s insidiousness.
No wonder he dared to offend Deng Lai.
No wonder indeed!
"It’s me being too presumptuous, overconfident." The Master of Many Evils couldn’t help but secretly regret.
Yet, after using the Escape Talisman to land, that voice rang out again by his ear, leaving the Master of Many Evils stunned, "Master of Many Evils, both of us are in the Mid Realm, let’s stop and talk. My Lu Family has yet to suffer Golden Core casualties, we’re not mortal enemies, there’s no need for this."
"Would I believe you?"
The Master of Many Evils didn’t dare to trust, even when sensing the corpse aura of a mid-stage Golden Core.
Corpse Cultivator?
No wonder recently the Lu Family has been collecting the He Family’s Blood Corpse Mushroom, turns out there’s a mid-stage Golden Core Corpse Cultivator behind the Lu Family. Yet, thinking that several top-grade Golden Core Corpse Cultivators appeared consecutively in the western West Mountain Floating Domain, his vigilance skyrocketed.
But knowing that the other was a Golden Core, he breathed a sigh of relief, although he gradually stopped flying, he still held three top-grade Tier Three Escape Talismans, and a Tier Two Middle-grade Armor Puppet appeared around him.
"Master of Many Evils, you indeed have many of these good things." At this moment, East Spring Undying Bone showed up.
The Tier Two Middle-grade Spiritual Armor Puppet, while lacking the power of a mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator, had the defensive strength of a mid-stage Golden Core Body Cultivator. With its protection, it’s like having a mid-stage Golden Core Body Cultivator as personal guard.
Even when facing a late-stage Golden Core, it may not allow for a direct confrontation, but it can certainly provide the opportunity for a strategic retreat with the Armor Puppet buying time for an escape.
The Master of Many Evils cautiously observed East Spring Undying Bone, expanding his Divine Sense to the fullest, ready to use Escape Talismans at any moment. He stopped mainly because he didn’t want to lose Dark Evil and Night Evil.
"How should I address you?"
East Spring Undying Bone advised, "Don’t ask, you don’t have the time."
"What do you mean?" The Master of Many Evils couldn’t help but clutch the Escape Talisman in his hand tighter, and the Armor Puppet stepped forth aggressively.
Boom—
A single step shattered the sea of clouds over a thousand feet.
However.
In the next moment, the Master of Many Evils’ eyes abruptly widened.
"Golden Core!"
The Master of Many Evils exclaimed, just about to use the Escape Talisman, but found he couldn’t mobilize his Magical Power nor could he activate his Divine Sense. Before he could react, an enormous Soul Capturing Power descended.
The Armor Puppet hurriedly moved forward to block, but it was also controlled by the Soul Capturing Technique, rendered motionless like wood.
"Dao..."
The Master of Many Evils then realized, it wasn’t luck on his part, the opponent had already discovered his real body long ago and had set Law-Devouring Yin Insects around, but he didn’t understand why the Law-Devouring Yin Insects could affect him.
He clearly wasn’t injured!
Moreover, how could there be Tier Three Law-Devouring Yin Insects in the world?
"Confused? Sorry, I am not obliged to explain." After capturing the Master of Many Evil’s soul, Wen Jiu collected the uncaptured Armor Puppet and hurried toward the direction of Cold Pool Mist Valley.
In fact, he had scouted both places, confirming that the Master of Many Evils’ Divine Sense wasn’t strong, and his investigation methods weren’t advanced, he first placed Law-Devouring Yin Insects at the location of his main body, allowing them to enter his body with the wind, then rushed to collect the Inorganic Hidden Spirit Puppet.
After all, the Inorganic Hidden Spirit Puppet is a Spiritual Puppet with its will. It won’t disobey while its master lives, but once the master dies, it becomes akin to a living cultivator.
The master dies, it must flee.
Though it can be caught up with, it might cause another major disturbance.
"I have to say, this old fellow is truly cautious. If it weren’t for the fact that the Brute Puppet Sect’s Golden Core and Dark Evil Night Evil were all in Cold Pool Mist Valley, he would surely not stop." Wen Jiu couldn’t help but sigh, again examining East Spring Undying Bone’s three top-grade Tier Three Escape Talismans.
Good things.
Expensive.
If this old man didn’t stop, he would have to waste two more.
A single top-grade Tier Three Escape Talisman costs no less than fifty hundred middle-grade Spirit Stones, and they are scarce even if affordably priced.
Considered a rare good thing.
Although he has no use for them himself, they can be sold for Corpse Nourishing Materials.
...
Thousands of miles away from Cold Pool Mist Valley.
Lu Hongying, Lu Shouren, and another person looked far toward Cold Pool Mist Valley, watching the increasingly bright Nether Blue Flame without a word. However, after a few more looks, the three resolutely turned and continued flying away.
After flying ten thousand miles, the three did not continue together but gestured farewell with a hand.
Lu Zhang spoke, "Take care, you two... The decline of the Lu Family is inevitable, I need to hurry back to the clan to pack up. It’s already impossible to stay in the west, I plan to head to East Pole Immortal City to settle."
"East Pole Immortal City is under the protection of East Splendor Divine Palace, even the Domain Lord’s Mansion can’t meddle, indeed a good choice. Even if living under others’ roofs is tough, it’s better than being wiped out by the Brute Puppet Sect." Lu Hongying agreed wholeheartedly, "Then Lu Zhang, take care, we’ll meet at East Pole Immortal City."
"We’ll meet at East Pole Immortal City."
Lu Shouren echoed.
The three saluted once more.
Each flying away.
Yet after turning away from each other, each couldn’t help but sigh, and involuntarily glance towards the direction of Cold Pool Mist Valley.
Lu Family.
In the end, it still came to nothing.
...
As time passed, the protective formation at Cold Pool Mist Valley shattered, leaving only talismans to barely maintain it.
Deng Lai, seeing this from afar, also smiled with satisfaction, "Judging by the situation, in another half day, the talisman should break. A crippled Lu Feng, a few lower-rank Old Golden Cores, tomorrow they are doomed to be buried in Mist Valley."
However.
At this moment, the face of the "Master of Many Evils" atop the Bone Serpent Giant Puppet suddenly changed.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he flew away recklessly, laughing relentlessly.
"That old thing is finally dead, finally dead, we are free, we are free..."
Amidst the Master of Many Evils’ laughter, the laughter of a dozen others mixed in, their voices speaking as one. They laughed wildly, shouted, and their flying speed increased.
