After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Elder Liu exclaimed in surprise, "Your disciple also has the ability to control beasts?"

Where did we find such a talented apprentice? He seems to be all-around amazing.

After she came out of seclusion, she heard some gossip. This disciple was not valued in the sect before, and even left the sect because of being bullied.

With such a talented prospect, how could the Xuantian Sect be blind to it? No wonder the sect has gradually declined.

"Elder Liu, if you want to understand my disciple, you should leave the City Lord's Mansion first."

Elder Liu shrugged, slowly took out a bottle, and sealed the three demon seeds inside.

The three of them left the city lord's mansion together, unaware of the changes that had occurred there.

Mu City is not close to the Miaofa Sect, making it difficult to govern directly. However, with two Nascent Soul Venerables from the Miaofa Sect handling the matter of the Demon Clan, the Miaofa Sect has considerable influence in selecting the successor to the city lord.

The residents of the city don't care who the city lord is; as long as he can protect them and not exploit them, he is a good city lord.

They weren't good at negotiating or protecting their reputation, so after sending back the evidence they had collected, they left it to the elders who were better at it.

Back at his residence, he asked Ningqing, "Disciple, the matter of Mucheng has been resolved. You should come back to the sect with me. It's too dangerous for you to stay outside."

After thinking it over, Lin Yan decided to return to the sect with her master.

The Cold-Level Secret Realm hadn't opened yet, and she still killed Mo Yu. Although she had set up a scheme that would make it difficult to find out that she was the one who killed him, what if she was?
I've lingered outside for too long; I need to return to Yunfeng to put on a show before finding another excuse to go into seclusion.

Master arrived via the Guiyun Peak teleportation array. Such precise teleportation requires the two ends of the array to be perfectly aligned and without error.

Taking her with me on the way back means we can't go back via the teleportation array.

Once outside the city, Elder Liu launched a small flying boat, and the three of them flew up together.

The speed of the flying boat is certainly not as fast as that of a Nascent Soul cultivator flying on a sword, but Elder Liu said that they should enjoy the return journey and not bother with flying on a sword.

Helpless, Wen Ningqing accepted the other party's suggestion.

After the flying boat was loaded with spirit stones, it flew at an extremely fast speed. The two Venerables sat cross-legged on the deck, practicing their combat skills.

Using the coffee table as a microcosm, a formation was set up on it with spirit stones, instantly creating layers upon layers of mountains, resembling a miniature world.

Elder Liu took out a wooden puppet about the size of a little finger and threw it in. The puppet immediately turned into a tiny person and began to break the formation.

Lin Yan watched quietly, like a well-behaved student.

She was quite curious about this way of fighting, unlike other cultivators who would simply spar to learn from each other.

In fact, this is how Nascent Soul cultivators spar. Because of their great strength, even if they use ordinary magic weapons, they can easily break through the barrier on the arena.

The overflowing power could damage the sect's buildings and facilities, and even affect disciples watching the battle.

Even when sparring outside, the impact of a battle between Nascent Soul cultivators causing the heavens and earth to tremble is enormous.

All the factions unanimously formulated this rule targeting Nascent Soul cultivators: sparring is prohibited!
Therefore, when Nascent Soul cultivators actually fight, it is generally assumed that it is not a friendly exchange, but a serious fight.

The array set up by the master was extremely mysterious, and Elder Liu's control techniques were also particularly captivating.

This method of control differs from simply using spiritual power to suppress and control; it is more comprehensive and easier to master.

The controlled thing is like a puppet on a string, and Elder Liu is the one pulling the strings.

This is perhaps a unique skill of Elder Liu's magical artifact; none of her disciples have ever used the same magical treasure.

As the sun sets behind the western mountains, the duel comes to an end.

The afterglow of the setting sun bathed the two women, making them appear even more mysterious, powerful, and inviolable. Lin Yan sat to the side, serving as a backdrop, feeling her own weakness and longing to one day be as powerful as the two Venerable Ones! No, she wanted to be even more powerful than them.

"Girl, are you interested in my puppetry skills?"

Puppetry?

She had never heard of this spell before. In her original world, this type of spell was considered very sinister.

The Venerable One is incredibly powerful; knowing such spells demonstrates his exceptional skill. Would I, a Golden Core cultivator, be branded a heretic for learning such spells?

"Young friend Lin hasn't answered for a long time, it seems you're really interested?" Elder Liu said jokingly, resting his chin on his hand.

"Stop joking about my disciple!" Wen Ningqing interrupted, saying to her disciple, "This spell is not suitable for you, don't learn it from her."

"Your disciple will heed your teachings." Lin Yan quickly stood up and bowed.

"Go and choose a room to rest." Wen Ningqing waved her disciple away, and only after the disciple entered the private room did she say with some anger, "My disciple takes everything seriously. She shouldn't make jokes like this in the future. If she really gets serious about learning, that would be truly ruined."

"I was just teasing her. Besides, how do you know she'll go astray if she learns it? Don't you trust your own apprentice?"

"I haven't seen you pass on this secret technique to your eldest disciple either."

Liu Ruyan was speechless from the choking, then waved her sleeve, and the table returned to normal.

"You get angry just because you can't win an argument?" Wen Ningqing craned her neck to see the head that the person had turned away from.

Seeing that the other person remained silent, she had no choice but to admit that her tone had been a bit harsh and apologize. Only after noticing that the other person's expression had softened did she explain why she had been so harsh.

She was afraid that the young girl would be attracted by such esoteric arts and thus waste her talent by studying it.

If this kind of technique is not properly controlled, it can easily lead people astray.

Puppetry was originally a legitimate martial art on the Canghai Continent, but it was banned because it caused unrest.

The most impactful event back then was when a cultivator directly refined the entire sect into his puppet.

To plunder resources, they directly control puppet armies to destroy other sects and seize their territories.

The original cultivation method certainly did not include the practice of refining cultivators to become one's own puppets. It was just that some people took a different approach to the original puppetry technique and created many evil techniques.

Everyone agreed that this technique had a guiding effect. Many practitioners were initially unsettled and were more easily led astray after practicing it, so puppetry was directly included in the list of forbidden techniques.

Liu Ruyan can still cultivate because she received a legacy in the secret realm during the riot and directly broke through to the Nascent Soul stage. It's unreasonable to make her abandon her cultivation technique.

She didn't use anyone to create the puppets, and she herself was very strong, so no one dared to question her.

To put it bluntly, if others are so strong that there's no need for them to resort to underhanded tactics, and if you insist on questioning them but can't provide concrete evidence, then the only option is to fight.

When Lin Yan arrived at the private room, she picked up the communication disc to check if there had been any news reports of Mo Yu's death in the square.

The person has been dead for several days. Given the Mohist tradition of holding grand funerals, will they invite guests from all over the world this time?

With people dying one after another, the Mohists were able to make money by holding funerals. She was also helping to promote economic growth, so we should thank her.

After looking around, I found no relevant posts.

Oh? Even Mo Yu's death isn't trending?

It would be contrary to the Mohist principle not to use funeral expenses to make money after someone has died. (End of Chapter)
