The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 134: Weird Humanoid Puppet (6k)

Gao Xuan's face remained amiable as he softly said, "It's alright. We'll be in Taiqing Sect territory in just one stick of incense. We need to hurry."

Xuanjizi seemed not to hear anything and just stared at Gao Xuan. At this moment, he seemed to understand something.

We are all smart people, so some words don’t need to be said explicitly, just mention them briefly.

Xuanjizi sighed and said helplessly, "It seems that Taiqing Sect has not been attacked. Were you the one who activated the formation in front of my mountain gate that night?"

Gao Xuan just smiled without saying anything, but his smile seemed to contain endless deep meaning.

Xuanjizi could only smile bitterly: "As expected, one should never be complacent until the very last moment. When did you discover it? Was it just that array?"

Gao Xuan said slowly: "You told us."

"Did I tell you?" Xuanjizi's face was full of confusion, but when he saw Gao Xuan's slightly playful expression, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

"It's really a good trick. You actually want to completely label our Tianji Sect as a two-faced group." Xuanjizi understood it instantly, and his face became extremely ugly.

Gao Xuan said calmly, "Look at what you're saying. Your Tianji Sect has always been weak in combat, and you're just trying to reap the benefits. On the one hand, you're colluding with the Cangyan Dao Palace, and on the other hand, you're secretly reporting to my Taiqing Sect."

"When the Qingyu Immortal Sect is destroyed, the Cangyan Dao Palace and the Taiqing Sect are both devastated, and the Jinlei Sect becomes the target of public criticism, even God knows what's going on within them. In the end, won't the only winner be your Tianji Sect?"

"I don't believe you can go after the tiger with the Cang Yan Dao Palace without any defense."

Xuanjizi stared at Gao Xuan with a gloomy expression.

Gao Xuan then smiled and said, "I know you have a plan specifically targeting the Cang Yan Dao Palace, or a certain killing weapon, but they are also wary of you. How about this, while there is still a chance, and join hands with my Taiqing Sect?"

Xuanjizi pretended not to hear and turned away.

Gao Xuan hurriedly shouted, "Brother Xuan, if you miss this opportunity, you'll have no chance. Do you think they will still believe you now? You, and the entire Tianji Sect, are no longer respected."

Xuanjizi paused slightly, then gritted his teeth and rushed away at the fastest speed.

The smile on Gao Xuan's face gradually faded, and he became calmer. He muttered to himself, "It seems that he still has something to rely on. I'm afraid the matter of the Five Sects won't be resolved so easily."

…………

In the afternoon, two stealthy figures quietly approached the mountain gate of Qingyu Xianzong.

Now the entire mountain gate has been damaged and even leads directly to the interior.

However, there were many disciples dressed in the uniforms of the Golden Thunder Sect stationed outside, in addition to these, there were also some figures in black robes.

"Strange, according to the speed of Master and the others, they should have rushed in by now, but looking at the situation, it seems that they are not coming to support us?" Yan Xiaohu said in a low voice.

Zhou Qing's heart also skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition instantly surged into his mind.

Could it be that I really guessed wrong?

The ambush is on the first route?

Zhou Qing remained silent. Yan Xiaohu finally realized what was happening and said hastily, "That shouldn't be the case. Although we took a longer detour, we did follow the first route and didn't encounter any obstacles along the way."

Zhou Qing nodded slightly: "Let's find a way to get in first. I need to see Fairy Xuanyou in person, tell her that reinforcements have arrived, and see what she thinks."

"Is there any need to think about it? She might excitedly pick you up high, spin you around, and then give you a big kiss." Yan Xiaohu teased jokingly.

Zhou Qing was helpless: "Third Brother, stop it!"

"Is it you or I who's causing the trouble? My intention is very simple. I came here just to make money from the dead. But you insisted on looking for Fairy Xuanyou. I say, you don't really want to save her, do you?"

Yan Xiaohu winked at Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing had no intention of entangled with him any further, and simply said, "Come closer, and use your bead to cross the barrier and go in."

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaohu immediately shook his head: "We only have two chances left, I can't bear to give it up. There are corpses over there, we can secretly steal two items from the Jinlei Sect and go in openly, the mountain gate is open anyway."

Yan Xiaohu pointed to the distance.

Zhou Qing had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Although it is a bit risky, the beads belong to someone else after all, so how can I interfere?

So, the two of them crawled forward quietly until they arrived near several corpses.

"Hurry up and pretend to be dead, the leader of the Jinlei Sect has appeared!" Just as Zhou Qing was searching, Yan Xiaohu hurriedly shouted to warn him.

The two men quickly fell to the ground, motionless.

As expected, a familiar figure walked out. It was none other than Lei Wuji, the leader of the Golden Thunder Sect, whom Tong Min had recorded with the image stone from a distance.

Behind him, there were two deputy sect leaders.

"Has everything been settled in there?" Zhou Qing saw this and squinted his eyes to take a peek, feeling horrified.

Earlier in the meeting hall, I felt that this scene seemed deliberate, as if it was specifically designed for Tong Min to take a photo. Why did it appear again now?

"No, look at their faces--" At this moment, Yan Xiaohu whispered a reminder.

Zhou Qing looked over quietly and was stunned.

At this moment, the faces of the people from the Jinlei Sect kept flickering, and vaguely, they looked like the faces of ordinary people.

"The art of divine secrets, this is the art of divine secrets of the Tianji Sect!" In an instant, Zhou Qing's mind flashed with inspiration and he suddenly understood.

I was wondering, how could they have the Second Master's illusionary technique? Not only that, they could also disguise so many people.

It turned out that the area around the Qingyu Immortal Sect's mountain gate had already been protected by the Tianji Sect's divine secrets. Once one got close, one would be able to see its true appearance.

At that time, they were certain that those who came to investigate would not dare to get too close and could only watch from a distance.

Therefore, the fake Jin Lei Zong and others dared to show up so blatantly and confirm the fact that Jin Lei Zong attacked Qing Yu Xian Zong.

But I didn't expect that this secret technique was so magical that it could not only deceive the human eye, but even the imaging stone.

Combined with what he and his third senior brother had experienced along the way, it was now basically certain that the most unexpected Tianji Sect was really in cahoots with the Cang Yan Taoist Palace.

Although he didn't know where the head teacher and his master had gone, he had to take this opportunity to see the attitude of the Qingyu Immortal Sect.

Don't try to show them how to be cruel.

After a while, the other party turned around and went in again.

After taking off their clothes, the two of them left quietly.

After finding a secluded corner and changing clothes, Zhou Qing was about to leave but was stopped by Yan Xiaohu.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Qing asked puzzledly.

Yan Xiaohu smiled and said, "Do you really think your Third Senior Brother is reluctant to part with the jade beads? The main gate may seem normal, but it is definitely full of dangers. Let's go!"

Looking at Yan Xiaohu's back, Zhou Qing smiled and shook his head.

When the two arrived at a place, Yan Xiaohu grabbed Zhou Qing's arm as usual, and disappeared with a flash of light.

As soon as the two stepped in, a strong smell of gunpowder hit their noses, mixed with the smell of blood and scorched earth, which made people feel depressed.

The shouts of fighting, the clashing of weapons, and the whistling of magical powers from all around were intertwined together, roaring continuously.

Looking up, I saw countless mountains in the distance with flames shooting up into the sky, and the raging flames licked the sky, making the originally peaceful and tranquil fairyland look like Shura Hell.

Black smoke billowed up, and the mountains were shaking and collapsing, making dull noises and raising clouds of dust.

Some mountains had already collapsed, and countless trees had been uprooted, with all kinds of corpses hanging on them.

There was murderous intent in Zhou Qing's eyes. He would never allow such a scene to happen again in Taiqing Sect.

"Wearing a mask is too conspicuous!" Zhou Qing thought for a moment, then took out two things that looked like human facial scars from his storage bag and stuck them on his face.

This was what the second senior sister left for him before she left. He didn't expect that he would use it this time.

"Do you want one?" Zhou Qing took out two more, but Yan Xiaohu immediately shook his head and refused: "Too ugly, forget it."

Zhou Qing had no choice but to put it in, looked around, and quickly ran to a corpse and smeared the blood mud on his face. Yan Xiaohu thought about it and had to follow suit.

Coupled with the blood-stained clothes, the two men looked like they had just experienced a life-and-death battle, and their original appearance could not be seen at all.

Afterwards, they cautiously headed towards the Qingyu Immortal Sect, and all they saw along the way were scenes of decay and misery.

The once magnificent pavilion is now in ruins, and the charred wooden frames are still emitting wisps of flames and blue smoke.

The ground was littered with broken tiles and stones, as well as corpses lying all over the place. Judging from their clothing, they were either from the Jinlei Sect or the Qingyu Xian Sect.

The blood had already gathered into pools, flickering strangely in the light of the fire.

Some of the corpses were still in fighting postures, with weapons tightly gripped in their hands and eyes wide open, as if they were unwilling to give up resistance until death; while others were mutilated and horrible to look at, and it was obvious that they had suffered tremendous pain before dying.

"Fourth Brother, look here!" Yan Xiaohu suddenly discovered something and said hurriedly.

Zhou Qing hurried over and noticed that a man in a black robe with only half of his body left was pressed under several corpses. But the strange thing was that even though he was in such a miserable state, one of his hands was still twitching slightly.

"Strange, there is no sign of life!" Yan Xiaohu pulled off the mask on his face.

This person looks like a middle-aged man, with bulging eyes and a dark and stiff face.

Zhou Qing also frowned, trying to find something on them that could prove their identity, wanting to see which force these black-robed men belonged to.

Although he already had the answer in his heart.

"There's no storage bag? Did someone pick it up beforehand? Damn, they were so quick!" Yan Xiaohu cursed at the side. Zhou Qing was speechless.

It's been three days and this place is on the outskirts. Only a fool wouldn't pick it up.

But when he looked at the broken abdomen, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

"Magic circle?" Zhou Qing was shocked.

"What?" Yan Xiaohu also hurried over, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he was stunned.

The black-robed man's abdomen, which was almost cut across, actually had a formation still silently flowing, with a faint light flickering. One could even clearly see the cold formation materials embedded in the flesh and blood, tightly connected to the skin that had begun to turn purple and stiff.

In addition, there are also strands of black lines spreading around these materials, growing and spreading wildly in the flesh and blood.

"What the hell is this thing?" Yan Xiaohu's Adam's apple rolled with difficulty, full of shock.

Zhou Qing shook his head slightly, then slowly stood up and looked around vigilantly.

Soon, his expression became solemn. He saw the broken bodies of Qingyu Xianzong disciples scattered all around. A rough count showed that there were more than a dozen of them.

Judging from the tragic scene at the scene, it seems that these disciples were willing to collectively self-destruct in order to kill the black-robed man in front of them.

"Such a strong aura of death!" Zhou Qing's nostrils twitched slightly, and he looked at the man in black robe and said softly.

This aura of death was completely different from the smell of ordinary death around it, and it was even mixed with a very special corpse stench.

It seemed as if the other person had been dead for a long time.

Yan Xiaohu squatted down at this time, used both hands to pull the man in black robe out from the pile of corpses, and planned to check him carefully.

"So it's here!" At this moment, a figure suddenly came roaring from a distance.

This was a Yuanying realm disciple wearing the clothing of the Golden Thunder Sect. Seeing the black-robed corpse, he was filled with surprise.

In order to avoid attracting attention, Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu had already hidden their cultivation and suppressed it at the Jindan realm.

"What are your names?" The Yuanying realm disciple deliberately released a powerful pressure, which enveloped the two of them like a mountain pressing down on their heads, and asked in a stern voice.

Yan Xiaohu pretended to be startled and quickly bowed respectfully, saying, "Disciple Zhang San, greetings, Senior Brother!"

Zhou Qingyi hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Disciple Li Si, greetings, Senior Brother!"

"Zhang San and Li Si, you two did a great job this time. You should be credited with this achievement. You know, all the humanoid puppets are extremely important and cannot be lost. I didn't expect that a lost one would be found here. When I return, I will definitely mention your contribution to the elders!"

The Yuanying realm disciple showed a satisfied smile on his face and spoke slowly.

When the two heard this, they were shocked.

This is actually a puppet?
How can it be?

"Why is there only half of it left? Can you two see the lower half?" The Yuanying realm disciple squatted down and carefully examined the body of the man in black robe. He frowned slightly and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Yan Xiaohu immediately shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it."

Zhou Qingze looked around calmly, his eyes as sharp as lightning, carefully confirming whether anyone else noticed this place.

Because from the other party's words, it can be heard that this humanoid puppet seems to be strictly controlled and no mistakes are allowed.

Moreover, this puppet has extraordinary combat power. It took the self-destruction of many disciples of the Qingyu Immortal Sect to severely injure it to this state. Only half of the human body is left, but it is still moving. What's more terrifying is that it seems that it can be recovered and "come back to life" again.

God knows how many humanoid puppets like this one are in the Cang Yan Dao Palace. If we can bring them back and study them carefully, we may be able to find a way to control these puppets.

We will not be completely passive when facing these puppet armies.

Fortunately, this place seemed a bit remote, and no one had come over yet. Zhou Qing turned to Yan Xiaohu and said, "Brother, since we have helped this brother find the upper body of the puppet, why not be a good person and send the Buddha to the west!"

When Yan Xiaohu heard this, he immediately understood and smiled slightly: "Okay."

The other party didn't expect the two to be so tactful. He stood up and said, "You two are very good. From now on, just follow me. You don't have to worry about points at all..."

But before the other party could finish his words, a cold light flashed in Zhou Qing's eyes and he took the initiative to attack.

The broken sword in his hand suddenly flew out.

"Puchi!" With a light sound, the opponent's head was cut off cleanly and neatly, and blood gushed out like a fountain, splashing onto the ground.

The other person's body slowly fell down, with a trace of disbelief in his eyes.

The two sides were too close to each other and Zhou Qing moved too quickly, leaving him no chance to react.

Yan Xiaohu was surprised. How could the broken sword covered with rust look so sharp?
The next moment, a ray of light was seen rushing out from the disciple's body at an extremely fast speed, and was about to escape.

But Yan Xiaohu, who had been prepared, caught it in an instant.

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Yan Xiaohu immediately conducted a soul search, and soon the little Nascent Soul began to roll its eyes.

After a few breaths, Yan Xiaohu crushed it directly.

"Wan Yuanmin, a mid-Nascent Soul Realm disciple of the Cang Yan Dao Palace, knows very little about humanoid puppets, but one thing is certain: there are a lot of them!"

Yan Xiaohu said with a serious expression.

Zhou Qing nodded and pondered for a moment: "It seems that all the people attacking Qingyu Xianzong are from Cangyan Dao Palace. We still underestimated their combat power. With only a part of their forces and puppets, they were able to break through a sect, while the majority of their forces are still ambushing our Taiqing Sect."

Yan Xiaohu also looked worried after hearing this, and then at Zhou Qing's signal, he put the puppet away.

Yan Xiaohu then looked at Zhou Qing and said with resentment, "This guy is in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Even I have to strengthen my Nascent Soul to fight him. But even if I launch a sneak attack, it will be over too quickly. Fourth Brother, I will have to cling to you from now on."

Zhou Qing smiled and stretched out his legs, saying, "I'll give it to you for free."

"roll!"

The two searched around again but couldn't find the puppet's lower body. As a body of flesh and blood, it must have turned into minced meat in the explosion.

Yan Xiaohu quickly dealt with the corpse and took out a gray storage bag from his waist.

"More than two hundred medium-grade spirit stones, I made a fortune!" Yan Xiaohu was very happy.

After parting ways with Zhou Qingping, the two continued to sneak forward.

Just as they were passing by a ruin, Zhou Qing's expression suddenly changed.

"Be careful!" He reacted quickly and subconsciously raised his foot, kicking Yan Xiaohu out.

And at the moment Yan Xiaohu was kicked away, a cold light shot out from the shadow of the ruins like lightning.

Zhou Qing's eyes focused, and he quickly crossed the broken sword in his hand across his chest. There was a loud "ding" sound, like the sound of metal clashing, and sparks flew everywhere.

The sharp weapon that attacked from behind collided violently with the broken sword, and the powerful impact caused Zhou Qing to stagger back several steps.

Yan Xiaohu reacted quickly and rushed in with a sword.

"I'll kill you bastards!" A roar filled with endless grief and hatred suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Xiaohu retreated in a hurry, looking a little embarrassed.

Then, a woman covered in blood came out staggeringly, clutching a green sword.

The face that might have been beautiful was now stained with blood, with a few strands of hair sticking messily to the cheeks, and the eyes were like burning blood flames, red and full of anger and unwillingness.

Her clothes were tattered and torn, with wounds crisscrossing her body. Some of the wounds were still oozing blood, which slowly flowed down her arms and legs, gathering at her feet, forming a pool of blood.

At this moment, her breath was weak, but she stood stubbornly, staring at the two men, as if she wanted to peel off their flesh and eat their bones.

"So it's hidden here. It was really easy for me to find it!" When Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu were on high alert, several sharp whistling sounds came in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen figures fell down one after another.

The leader was a strong man in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, and the rest were all Golden Core Realm cultivators. They stood in an orderly manner and formed an encirclement.

"Well done, you two. You almost let this bitch escape. You want to ask for help? Dream on!" Meng Xing laughed arrogantly.

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu looked at each other, understanding each other tacitly. Neither of them said anything, but just took a step back in tacit understanding.

However, Yan Xiaohu walked with a slight limp. Zhou Qing's sudden push just now caused him to hit a wooden frame that was inserted diagonally, and it happened to poke the base of his thigh.

This seems to be the second time. Is it because my body heard that I wanted to hug the fourth brother's thigh and its own thigh is dissatisfied?
Meng Xing looked at the woman whose eyes were about to spit fire, and he said with a sigh, "Yuan Ya, the first disciple of Elder Zou Hong, a master in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. In the past, you must have been a famous beauty. Look at what you look like now. It's such a pity..."

The woman called Yuan Ya held the sword tightly in both hands. Due to her severe injuries, the blood in her body surged, and she spat a mouthful of blood foam directly at Meng Xing, but was blocked by the spiritual power shield.

"Meng Xing, it's already this time, and you're still wearing the clothes of the Jin Lei Sect. It's really disgusting!" Yuan Ya's face was full of anger. She spat fiercely and cursed.

Meng Xing disagreed and continued to laugh: "I think this outfit is quite good. Anyway, the person who should report the news has been released, and you two elders in the Spiritual Transformation Realm are still leading the team. I guess by now, the people from Taiqing Sect have entered the ambush circle."

The Jindan realm cultivators around him burst into laughter.

Zhou Qing frowned slightly.

This guy even knew about the ambush. It seems that his status in Cang Yan Taoist Palace is quite high.

Moreover, it would be difficult to find Fairy Xuanyou in a short time here. Perhaps the woman named Yuan Ya in front of him knew the location of her sect leader.

Yan Xiaohu quietly transmitted a message: "I remember now. There are five great geniuses in Cang Yan Dao Palace. I heard that it took them less than thirty years from the beginning of their cultivation to breaking through the Nascent Soul Realm. It should not be difficult for them to advance to the Spiritual Transformation Realm in the future. Meng Xing is one of them, and he ranks fifth."

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up, and he had a plan in mind.
