Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"So this woman is using me as a pawn?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng couldn't help but frown slightly.

Although the Floating Duckweed Ghost General had just saved his life, Lu Feng was still somewhat annoyed at the thought that he had been used by the other party the whole time.

After all, he has always been the one scheming against others; he has never been schemed against by others.

"Young Master Lu, this is not a suitable place to talk. Please come with me for a moment."

He bowed to Lu Feng again, and without waiting for a response, the Floating Duckweed Ghost General leaped towards the gap in the ground above, clearly not wanting to linger in this insect nest for even a moment longer.

Seeing this, Lu Feng didn't say anything and followed closely behind.

"Young Master Lu, this woman is no simple character. You'd better be careful later..."

Just as Lu Feng was leaving the insect hive, Gu Canyang's reminder slowly came from his ear.

"Don't worry, even if you don't say anything, I won't underestimate you..."

In response to the ancient reminder, Lu Feng secretly replied telepathically, "After all, this woman is one of the twenty-four ghost generals of the Heavenly Yin Ghost Alliance, and her cultivation level has far surpassed the Yuanhai Realm. She is not comparable to those amateurish fellows like the Evil Brothers..."

"good."

Gu Canyang spoke solemnly, clearly agreeing with Lu Feng's assessment, "Besides, the corpse-controlling technique this woman just used is also quite remarkable; it's a powerful force far exceeding mere conceptual understanding..."

"If it weren't for the aid of the Corpse Control Technique, even if you had exhausted the Facehugger Mother's nutrients and energy, this woman wouldn't have been able to kill her so easily..."

"As for the corpse-controlling techniques this woman possesses, her proficiency is at least at the Great Perfection level, perhaps even comparable to the Perfected level!"

"The Corpse Control Technique at the Great Perfection Realm..."

Lu Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "No wonder this woman was so confident, daring to venture alone into the lair of the Facehugger Queen. It turns out she was prepared all along..."

The so-called Daoist method is the sublimation of the state of mind. Whether in terms of power, effect, or difficulty of comprehension, it is more than ten times that of the latter!

To give a very simple example, in the cultivation world of the Misty Continent, roughly one in every 100,000 cultivators is able to comprehend the power of the Dao!

The floating ghost general in front of them looked to be only in his early thirties, yet he had already comprehended the Corpse Control Dao Technique at the Great Perfection level.

This shows that the opponent's talent and strength are far beyond what ordinary cultivators can achieve!

Swish!

Once back in the outside world, the Floating Duckweed Ghost flicked her sleeves and released a burst of Yuan energy flames, which also completely burned the massive insect nest beneath the fissure to ashes!

"Um?"

Just as the Floating Duckweed Ghost General destroyed the underground insect nest, Lu Feng's gaze was drawn to two corpses not far away. He couldn't help but look surprised, "Could those two corpses be...?"

"The two leaders of the Evil Man's Stronghold are Yang Feng and Yin Wei."

Beside him, the Floating Duckweed Ghost General stepped forward as well, his smile undiminished. "Back when Young Master Lu was trapped in the insect nest, I had already dealt with those two. As for the other lackeys of the Evil Man's Stronghold, I didn't let them go either, and I turned them all into corpse puppets..."

"Hehe, I wonder if Young Master Lu is satisfied with this result?"

The Floating Duckweed Ghost General's tone remained gentle and tender, as if he hadn't just killed anyone, but merely crushed a group of ants with a casual flick of his wrist, which made Lu Feng's heart skip a beat.

"In the short span of an incense stick's time, this woman actually slaughtered the Yang brothers, Yang Fengyin and Wei, and the entire Evil Village?"

Thinking of this, Lu Feng couldn't help but steal a glance at the Floating Duckweed Ghost General beside him, and immediately felt a cold sweat pour down his back. "There's an old saying that's true: the more mysterious a woman is, the more terrifying she is...!"

Although the Floating Ghost General was very polite to him and had a smile on his face, Lu Feng was not a greenhorn and would not be fooled by the other party's gentle appearance.

After all, a kind-hearted and weak woman could not possibly become one of the famous Twenty-Four Ghost Generals of the Heavenly Yin Ghost Alliance!

"Miss Bai... uh, Miss Fuping, you're too kind!"

Composing himself, Lu Feng bowed again to the Floating Duckweed Ghost General opposite him, and tentatively asked, "Excuse me for speaking out of turn, Miss Floating Duckweed, but with your strength, wiping out the entire Evil Village would be as easy as snapping your fingers. There shouldn't be any need for such a complicated process..."

"Just as Young Master Lu said, with my strength, dealing with a mere band of villains is naturally a piece of cake. However, that facehugger queen is quite troublesome..."

The Floating Duckweed Ghost General smiled again, interrupting Lu Feng's probing, and said in a calm tone, "The two leaders of the former Evil Man's Stronghold found this facehugger mother body from who knows where."

"Although these two idiots cannot completely control the facehugger queen, after years of feeding on corpses, this facehugger queen has grown to an outrageous size, and I alone am not entirely confident in killing it..."

"Originally, I planned to use the identity of the eldest daughter of the Bai family to secretly infiltrate the villain's stronghold and then find out the weakness of the facehugger mother, but I didn't expect to encounter Young Master Lu on the way..."

"So you went along with it, first setting up a binding talisman to arouse my curiosity, and then, after I infiltrated the villain's stronghold, you deliberately released that Bai Qianqian disguised as a corpse puppet, thus luring me into the council hall..."

"After the villainous brothers release the facehugger queen to trap me in the underground nest, you plan to launch a sneak attack and reap the benefits?"

Lu Feng remained serious, clearly having guessed the general outline of the matter.

"Hehe, Young Master Lu is indeed a smart man."

Faced with Lu Feng's questioning, the Floating Duckweed Ghost General did not refute, her face still smiling, "However, Young Master Lu, there is no need to be angry. I ultimately had no intention of harming Young Master Lu. All this planning was merely to successfully eliminate the facehugger mother..."

"Tch! This woman certainly knows how to talk a good game..."

Faced with the explanation from the Floating Duckweed Ghost General, Lu Feng frowned slightly, secretly displeased, and clearly did not buy it.

After all, the other party not only plotted against him repeatedly, but also used him as bait to deal with the facehugger queen. If Lu Feng hadn't been strong enough, he would have been buried in the insect nest long ago, with no trace of his body!

"However, with my current strength and cultivation level, even if I were to actually attack this woman, I'm afraid I wouldn't gain any advantage. Oh well...!"

After secretly weighing the pros and cons, Lu Feng couldn't help but sigh and then gave up the idea of ​​taking revenge on the Floating Duckweed Ghost General.

After all, the other party was one of the twenty-four ghost generals of the Heavenly Yin Ghost Alliance, and his cultivation was above the Yuanhai Realm. For Lu Feng, it would not be a wise choice to make a move rashly now.

"Young Master Lu, why do you sigh?"

Seeing Lu Feng sigh inwardly, the Floating Duckweed Ghost General stepped forward, her tone still gentle as water, "Could it be that Young Master Lu has other worries on his mind? I wonder if this humble servant can lend Young Master Lu a hand..."

No, not at all.

Faced with the Floating Duckweed Ghost General's overtures, Lu Feng merely waved his hand, then said with a regretful expression, "I'm just a little disappointed. After all that trouble, I not only didn't gain any benefit, but I also lost my last top-grade Xuan-level magic weapon...!"

"Forget it! Let's not talk about it anymore. It's just upsetting. You don't need to worry about it, Miss Floating Duckweed..."
