Chapter 105: Tiangui Sect Ancestor
After Lin Lifeng's death, far away in the Great Xuan Dynasty...

The dark dungeon was filled with an ancient and decayed atmosphere.

The walls are inlaid with luminous pearls, emitting a faint light, illuminating the mottled stone walls and intricate runes around them.

Deep in the crypt, an old man in a black robe sat cross-legged.

His body was skinny, like a dried corpse, and only his cloudy eyes occasionally flashed with a gleam, proving that he was still alive.

This person is the ancestor of the Tiangui Sect, Di Mulong, an old monster who has been immersed in the art of puppetry for hundreds of years.

At this moment, Di Mulong suddenly opened his eyes, a fierce look flashed in his turbid eyes, and an invisible wave spread from him, making the air around him seem to solidify.

"The soul mark has disappeared..."

Di Mulong's voice was low and hoarse, like the sound of two stones rubbing against each other, "It seems that the child has..."

The "child" he was referring to was naturally Lin Lifeng who acted on his own.

"It's a pity that we lost a blood puppet with great potential."

Di Mulong murmured to himself, with a hint of regret in his tone, but there was no anger on his face.

The ancestor of the Tiangui Sect, Di Mulong, was once a well-known name in the Daxuan Dynasty.

When he was young, Di Mulong showed an amazing talent for puppets. In his youth, he founded the Tiangui Sect. In just a few decades, he developed it into the number one sect in the Daxuan Dynasty, and it was unparalleled at the time.

He is obsessed with the art of puppetry, pursuing the ultimate power and perfect control of puppets.

As time went by, Di Mulong's progress in puppetry stagnated and reached a bottleneck.

At first, Di Mulong was able to remain rational and kept trying new methods to find opportunities for breakthroughs.

But as he failed again and again, his heart gradually twisted, and a crazy idea grew in his mind: "Use living people to make puppets."

Once this idea appeared, it grew wildly like weeds and could no longer be contained.

The first victim was an inner disciple who had angered him.

On a dark and windy night, Di Mulong imprisoned the disciple in a dungeon and used a secret method to refine him into a blood puppet.

Looking at the puppet in front of him, which possessed the same strength as it had in life but was completely under his control, Di Mulong felt an indescribable excitement and satisfaction in his heart.

From then on, Di Mulong couldn't stop. He found that the higher the martial artist's cultivation, the more powerful the blood puppet he refined.

Therefore, he turned his target to the deacons and elders in the sect.

He tricked them into the dungeon under various excuses and turned them into puppets for his own use.

Except for those ordinary disciples with low cultivation base, almost all the top leaders of Tiangui Sect became puppets in his hands.

However, paper cannot cover the fire after all.

The abnormality of Tiangui Sect attracted the attention of other sects, and some escaped disciples also revealed Di Mulong's crimes to the outside world.

For a time, the evil deeds of the Tiangui Sect spread throughout the world, arousing public anger.

Therefore, the Daxuan Dynasty joined forces with the Buddhist Sect and other forces, assembled dozens of powerful martial arts masters, and launched a siege on the Tiankui Sect.

In that battle, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered, and the sun and moon lost all light.

Dozens of powerful martial artists fought a desperate battle with the puppet army controlled by Di Mulong. In the end, Di Mulong was defeated and the Tiangui Sect was razed to the ground.

However, Di Mulong disappeared in the melee, leaving behind only a horrific legend about the "Blood Puppet Ancestor".

……

Outside Tianhuang City, there is a mortal building.

The once bustling Fanlou is now shrouded in a layer of gloom.

The lobby on the first floor, where comfortable sofas were originally placed, is now in a mess, with broken tables and chairs, broken teacups, and snack crumbs scattered on the ground, all telling of the brutality of yesterday's battle.

Chen Jianyu was lying on the bed in the luxurious suite on the twelfth floor of Fan Building, his face pale and his breath weak. His clothes were stained with blood, and several deep wounds that could be seen to the bone were shocking. After taking several pills of Lu Daocheng's healing pills in succession, Chen Jianyu's injuries were under control.

Shen Qiu, the owner of Fanlou, was standing on the top floor of Fanlou at this moment, looking at the clouds in the distance that were dyed red by the setting sun, his brows furrowed, and he said nothing.

"Boss Shen, Chen Jianzun's injuries have stabilized."

Qingluan walked behind Shen Qiu and said softly: "As long as you take the pills on time and recuperate for a while, you will be fine."

Hearing this, Shen Qiu nodded slightly, and then said: "Qingluan, you immediately pass the order down, and the Fan Building will enter a state of full martial law. Without my order, no guest is allowed to approach Chen Jianyu's room. Those who violate the order will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes, my lord." Upon hearing this, Qingluan took the order and left.

After ensuring Chen Jianyu's safety, Shen Qiu turned his attention to the devastated Fanlou.

"Hey, this reconstruction work will cost a lot of money..." Shen Qiu touched his chin and began to calculate.

"Shangguan Lie!"

After a while, Shen Qiu came to the fitness area on the ninth floor and shouted inside.

"Boss Shen, what can I do for you?"

Shangguan Lie came running over happily with a fawning smile on his face. He had now truly become the most loyal "security captain" of Fanlou.

Shen Qiu said: "There is one thing I want you to do. Clean up those useless ruins, and find some people to repair the damaged things, walls and so on!"

"Yes, yes, Boss Shen, just wait and see. I promise to make Fanlou look brand new in the shortest possible time."

Shangguan Lie patted his chest and promised, then ran downstairs and called on the guards to start cleaning up the ruins.

……

Night falls.

After a busy afternoon, Fanlou has basically returned to its former prosperity.

New tables and chairs were placed in the lobby on the first floor, the private rooms on the second floor were also renovated, and even the coffee shop on the third floor was rebuilt at an astonishing speed under Shen Qiu's arrangement.

"Boss Shen, do you think there is anything that needs improvement?" Shangguan Lie wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked with a look of seeking credit.

"Yeah, good job!"

Shen Qiu nodded with satisfaction and threw a bottle of pills to Shangguan Lie. "This is a reward for you. Work hard and you can leave in another year."

"Thank you, Boss Shen. Thank you, Boss Shen." Shangguan Lie took the bottle of medicine and smiled happily.

At the same time, Chen Jianyu woke up slowly, feeling as if his whole body had been disassembled and reassembled, and was extremely sore.

He struggled to sit up, but it pulled the wound and made him gasp in pain.

At this time, Li Qinghua next to him gently supported him, his eyes full of heartache: "Brother Yu, how do you feel, is it still painful?"

Chen Jianyu grinned and pretended to be relaxed: "It's okay, I'm sorry to have made you worried."

Li Qinghua caressed Chen Jianyu's face distressedly, tears welling up in her eyes: "Brother Yu, you are so stupid, why do you have to work so hard? What should I do if anything happens to you?"

Hearing this, Chen Jianyu gently grasped Li Qinghua's hand and smiled weakly: "Qinghua, I'm fine. Besides, others have come to the door. Do they really think that I, Chen Jianyu, am a vegetarian?"

"Humph, you are still trying to be brave at this time."

Li Qinghua glared at him in reproach, "If it weren't for Miss Qingluan and the others helping you, you would have been..."

She didn't dare to say any more and choked up.

Chen Jianyu stroked Li Qinghua's hair and said softly, "Okay, okay, don't cry. I'm alive and kicking. You should smile more."

Hearing this, Li Qinghua wiped her tears and a smile appeared on her face again.
