After 100 years of leatherworking, I have become a giant in the magic sect.

Chapter 124 123. Meet the Master, and Enter the Trap (4.3K words - please subscribe)
Late at night, the sky is filled with red light, blocking out the moonlight.

A huge red octopus seemed to emerge from the horizon, extending its long red tentacles into the deep space.

In the distance, there were constant rumbling sounds and sword rainbows breaking through the air, but not all of them were rushing to the front line, some were hastily retreating to the rear.

Those who rushed to the frontline were naturally sword cultivators with considerable strength, while those who returned to the rear were new disciples, sword cultivators of insufficient realm, and some important cultivators such as alchemists and talisman masters.

Without an ancestor like Luo Wangsun to guard the Su family, even the main island was no longer safe. So the second-in-command of the Su family, Su Yingren, ordered some family monks to withdraw to Luoxiazhu Island.

Others don’t know, but Su Yingren knows that Yu Xuanwei is now on Luoxiazhu Island.

In this case, the latter has most likely walked out of the hall and started setting up more formations.

The overlapping formations, plus the fact that Luoxia Bamboo Island is not very big, make it a safe place.

As for the Sun family, they retreated to Tongque Island.

On the front line, the Sun and Su families, who had been harmoniously united, have now tacitly split into two sides, fighting each other and ignoring each other.

When the Great Elder and Luo Wangsun fought, they used their true energy, which was evident from the fact that Luo Wangsun was driven away by anger. And how could such a battle between the two ancestors not affect the other cultivators of the two families?

For example, Su Hongxian, who used the small earth talisman to steal the "Water Abyss Dragon's Essence Blood", was seriously injured because he was involved in a dispute. He is now recuperating on the island. When he saw the war breaking out in front of him, he hurriedly fled to the back.

Whoohoo!
Song Yan grabbed a palm-leaf fan and blew air into the alchemy furnace to increase the temperature of the fire.

These days, he also understood some additional information about fire.

It is said that the late period of Jiang Palace was a small qualitative change.

It's not that there is a sudden surge in strength, but once you enter the later stage, a kind of "true fire of qi and blood" will be born in the body. This true fire is far superior to ordinary fire. It can be used to cast mysterious weapons and even mysterious treasures. If you refine the elixir, you can also try more advanced elixirs.

If before the late period of the Crimson Palace, there were still subdivisions such as casters and alchemists, then in the late period of the Crimson Palace it was purely a matter of personal skills.

This point can actually be seen from the early days of the Crimson Palace.

In the early stage of Jiang Palace, his hands could already generate high temperatures, directly melting ordinary iron and shaping it into any shape, let alone in the later stage?
call!
There was another burst of fanning, and suddenly a shout came from outside the room.

"Uncle Bai! Uncle Bai!"

Song Yan looked out through the window and saw a skinny little girl wearing a silver sword robe, holding a practice flying sword in her hand, looking over here nervously.

It was Tian Xiaojiu's niece Tian Xiaoling.

His expression changed slightly and he looked at the alchemist who was working with him.

The alchemist said, "Brother Bai, please go now. This elixir is not critical at this time. It's okay."

Song Yan put down the palm-leaf fan and quickly went out.

When Tian Xiaoling saw him, her eyes turned red. She ran over from a distance and threw herself into the arms of the man who had led her on the path of cultivation, crying, "Uncle Bai, Uncle Bai!"

Song Yan caressed the little girl's head lovingly, raised his head and looked around, watching the flying sword rainbows. Suddenly, he saw an acquaintance and shouted from afar, "Senior Sister Zhang, please stay!"

In the distance, a sword rainbow paused, as if identifying the person who made the sound. After seeing that it was Song Yanhou, it turned around again, but did not fall. Instead, it stopped over the Tongque Island.

Senior Sister Zhang was the beautiful female cultivator who was escorted by Xiao Jiu to Hongye Island and treated by Song Yan. She belonged to the Su family and was currently escorting some disciples of the Su family to retreat to Luoxiazhu Island, passing by Tongque Island. However, she was concerned about her own Su family status and refused to touch even a bit of the land here.

The female cultivator named Zhang asked in mid-air: "Junior Brother Bai, what's the matter?"

Song Yan asked: "Have you seen Junior Sister An Li?"

The female cultivator surnamed Zhang said, "An Li is an important alchemist of my Su family, so she was naturally escorted to Luoxia Bamboo Island."

Song Yan breathed a sigh of relief, then patted the child in his arms and said, "This is Junior Sister Xiao Jiu's niece. You should take her to Luoxia Bamboo Island as well."

The female cultivator named Zhang was stunned for a moment, then fell down.

Song Yan rubbed Tian Xiaoling's hair and said, "Your aunt's friend should go with her. Luoxia Bamboo Island is safer."

Tian Xiaoling nodded timidly, and with a gentle push from Song Yan, she headed towards the female cultivator surnamed Zhang. However, halfway through the journey, a cultivator next to her scolded her, "This is the cultivator seed of my Sun family, Bai Xiuhu. What do you mean by letting her go with the Su family?!"

Song Yan glanced at him, raised his finger, and the flying sword came out of its sheath, floating around him. He looked at him coldly and said, "Sun Family, Su Family, are you done yet?"

After saying that, he glanced at Tian Xiaoling and said, "Let's go."

The female cultivator named Zhang looked at Song Yan deeply, picked up Tian Xiaoling, and left quickly.

The Sun family cultivator behind him looked at Song Yan coldly, but after looking in the direction of the alchemy room and the thunderous sound of fighting in the distance, he just sneered and left.

Song Yan glanced into the distance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It has been so many years, and Jianmen has never collapsed during the period of Grandma Fox, nor has it collapsed during the period of Guhuangzi. It has survived all those storms, but now it is troubled by internal strife, and it is difficult to resist external humiliation.

Today, he didn't need to do anything at all, the sword gate had already been broken.

About half an hour later, a crisp cracking sound came from the center of the northern formation cover, and a silver-white crack appeared from the center of the transparent cover, and then quickly spread to both sides with a crackling sound, causing dense spider patterns to appear in the sky covering the Sword Gate.

Boom! !
The array shield is broken!

The evil shadow puppets, paper figures, bloody corpses, and all kinds of demons from the periphery quickly poured in.

There was also chaos in the alchemy room of Tongque Island. The alchemist of the Sun family was sweating with anxiety, but what was placed in the alchemy furnace was the "Essence and Blood of the Water Abyss Dragon". If he gave up halfway through refining the elixir, all of it would be ruined!

He murmured nervously: "What should I do?"

However, no matter how nervous he was, in his eyes Junior Brother Bai looked very calm.

The shouting and screaming in the distance were getting closer and closer, and soon reached the outside of Sun’s Tongque Island.

On the Bronze Sparrow Island, the Great Elder roared angrily, and stood up at the same time on his swords along with the two early-stage elders of the Crimson Palace who were still on the island.

The alchemist of the Sun family breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured as if to relieve himself: "There are the Great Elder and the two elders of King Zhao. It's all right, all right."

But just as he finished speaking, he heard the Great Elder's exclamation from above.

“Xueyazi! Tonghuzi! Two of the Three Puppet Peak Masters have arrived! Ha, there are quite a few little demon cubs in the early stage of the Crimson Palace here, they really think highly of me! Come on!”

In the alchemy room, the Sun family's alchemist's eyebrows jumped, and with a wry smile on his face, he looked at the calm Song Yan and said, "Junior Brother Bai, the Great Elder. The Great Elder should be able to win, right?"

Song Yan said: "Of course, evil cannot defeat good."

"That's right, that's right. Evil cannot defeat good. Evil cannot defeat good." The Sun family's alchemist took deep breaths.

At this moment, a scream came from the sky.

The Sun family's alchemist exploded in shock and screamed, "Elder Zhao is dead!"

A moment.

Another scream.

The Sun family's alchemist was stunned: "Another one died!!"

Then, the hoarse and slightly sad laughter of the great elder and the stern questioning came from outside. "Did your Puppet Sect deliberately create the Water Abyss Dragon?"

"No."

A muffled voice responded.

The Great Elder was startled, then he looked up to the sky and laughed wildly in an increasingly desolate manner. He stood in mid-air, the scene was devastated, and everywhere he looked were demonic shadows and evil spirits, as well as the destruction and sinking of all the major islands in the Misty Sea.

"It's my fault, it's my fault! If I hadn't made a mistake for not drawing my sword, I would have gone against the will of my heart. If I hadn't fought with my fellow disciples and got injured, how could this have happened? How could this have happened?"

"I feel ashamed of my sect and my master."

"Demon, you want to use my body to make a blood corpse paper man, but forget it! And that demon Song, you want to use my soul to turn into a ghost, that's also wishful thinking!
I cannot protect my homeland when I am alive, and I will not be used by you even when I die!!”

Amid the extremely passionate shouts, a slight explosion was heard in the air, but it was only a slight sound and then there was no sound.

What followed was Granny Blood's "hehehe" laughter and her hoarse cry: "I've been preparing for you to self-destruct."

As soon as she thought of it, a blood corpse covered with crystal white hair suddenly appeared behind the extremely weak elder. With a slight twist, she broke the elder's neck and threw it into the coffin next to her which contained important corpse resources.

With the death of the Great Elder, the entire Tongque Island fell into a brief silence in an instant, and then countless sword rainbows began to shoot outwards, fleeing madly, but a series of demonic shadows chased after it.

In the alchemy room, the alchemist of the Sun family also shouted in fear and no longer cared about refining the elixir.

As soon as the Great Elder died, the pillar of peace of mind in his heart collapsed. He was now as panic-stricken as a dog that had lost its home, and could only flee south in a hurry towards Luoxia Bamboo Island.

On Tongque Island, everyone left, scattering like birds and beasts.

The houses and palaces on the island collapsed one after another.

The alchemy room fell silent in an instant, with only a monk in a silver sword robe left, still fanning the fire under the alchemy furnace from time to time.

Boom boom boom!
A polite, even cautious knock on the door came from outside the alchemy room.

The knock on the door was neither too loud nor too soft, for fear of offending or that the person inside wouldn't hear it, so the sound was just right.

After knocking three times, there was no response, so I stopped knocking and waited patiently.

It was not until a faint voice came from the room, "Come in," that the person outside pushed the door open and walked in.

In the center is a dwarf old woman with pockmarks all over her face, on the left is a burly man with short, ferocious hair, and on the right is a young man with a pale face and cunning eyes.

These three people are none other than the “Lord of Blood Corpse Peak” Xueyazi, who is also the current leader of Puppet Sect; the “Lord of Machinery Peak” Tonghuzi, and the “Lord of Paper Man Peak” Gonglibai.

The three of them looked at the fanning man with different expressions.

The appearance of Bai Xiuhu had long disappeared, and was replaced by Song Yan.

The three of them said respectfully, "Greetings, Master."

Song Yan glanced at the three people and said with a smile: "I thought you were going to kill me in the chaos."

Granny Xue was so frightened that she trembled and said hurriedly, "I dare not, I dare not."

Bronze Beard lowered his sturdy body, carefully sized up the seemingly ordinary man, and said with a simple smile, "Others may not know, but the three of us, who doesn't know that the master holds the Ice Hell Bracelet and has the blood of the Tiger King in his body?

The life and death of the three of us depends solely on the master's thoughts.

Besides, this bracelet is really useful for warming the soul, plus the owner is so powerful, we all think we have a bright future, hehehe."

Gong Libai knelt down instantly, and said to this junior fellow apprentice whom he had only seen a few times before, with a face full of joy: "Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master!"

Song Yan wondered, "Why are you so happy?"

Gong Libai said: “The previous clan leaders only held the Ice Hell Bracelet, but never had the Tiger Clan blood of the King of Hell, and the master controls both at the same time.

The old ghost Guhuangzi also took advantage of the master's weakness to launch a sneak attack and successfully killed him.

But the master killed Gu Huangzi one-on-one when he was at his peak. The master is the strongest leader of our Puppet Sect in history!"

Song Yan felt this completely different atmosphere of flattery from Jianmen. After a moment of thought, he looked at Xueyazi and said, "How many cultivators in my Puppet Sect are above the Crimson Palace Realm?"

Xueyazi said hurriedly, "There are five people in the middle stage, and eleven people in the early stage. But don't worry, Master. Tonghuzi and I can completely control the situation. Together with Gonglibai, the Puppet Sect is under control."

Song Yan said, "Gong Libai, go out and take control. Luoxia Bamboo Island, just pretend to attack a few times, don't force it."

Gong Libai laughed and said, "I listen to my master the most. If my master tells me to go east, I won't go west. Master, don't worry, I will complete your orders properly and quietly!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked out quickly.

Song Yan then looked at Xueyazi solemnly and asked, "Have you ever measured the strength of the fox wolf?"

Xueyazi said: "It should be the middle stage. After Guhuangzi died, they wanted to establish their power to mobilize our Puppet Sect and make us obey their orders. So they would naturally take action. This time, I roughly sensed their realm.

It is strong, strange, but it still has not jumped out of the mid-term category.

Unless, they are hiding their clumsiness.”

Song Yan was stunned for a moment. He thought the other party was in the late stage of Jiang Palace, but since there was a possibility that he was hiding his abilities, he would not be careless.

He continued to ask: "What information do you have about the Fox Wolf Nine Palace Blood?"

Xueyazi said: "It was Grandma Hong and General Gu from the Fox and Wolf tribes who mobilized us to attack Jianmen this time.

Grandma Hong is similar to Grandma Fox before, with many tails, a dragon head, and the ability to eat flesh and blood to give birth to many little fox cubs. I don’t know the rest.

General Gu's howl seems to be able to control blood, perhaps it is a strange sonic attack."

"Sonic attack?"

Song Yan listened to the unfamiliar words. To be honest, he had visited many Three Kingdoms cultivators and monster secret realms, but "sonic attack" was really rare.

Bronze Beard said in a muffled voice: "Master, give the order. I, Bronze Beard, know that you are going to do something big today, so I have brought all the weapons with me.

Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. I can smell the smell of foxes and wolves from a hundred miles away.

I can guarantee that today's chaos is a feast for them, and they will definitely jump out to eat."

Song Yan glanced at the alchemy furnace, and suddenly raised his sleeves to throw out the flag of the "One Lineage Without Trace Formation". The flags fell in all directions and were inserted in the inconspicuous corners of the alchemy room. He continued, "Today, we will act as we should. We will use the bodies of the Great Elder and other Crimson Palace cultivators to set a trap not far from the alchemy room, and then lure you into the trap!
I'm going to be frank with you guys. I don't care how you hide or evade me on weekdays, but if anyone tries to hide behind the scenes today, I will settle accounts with them afterwards."

In the Puppet Sect, there were many people who shouted "Charge!" but actually retreated.

Blood Granny and Bronze Beard were stunned for a moment, quickly agreed, and then carefully left the alchemy room.

When the door closed, Song Yan kicked over the alchemy furnace, took out the semi-finished "Shuiyuan Jiao Jianggong Dan" inside, then walked into the formation, his figure disappeared without a trace.
