Now that Su Zhi was in Yunjian Sect, she had access to the sect’s resources. Even the Foundation Establishment Pills used for building the foundation could be exchanged within the sect.
Unfortunately, the power of these sects was highly regulated, and could not be transferred to anyone outside the Sect.
Otherwise…
Not far from the Eight Naga Ridge, a few demon practitioners were seated around a stove making tea in a mansion. They had captured several beautiful villagers to serve as maids who now trembled and served with pale faces. “How have we still not found that rumored opportunity, after all this time?”
“Boss, this isn’t something we can rush. Those from the Nine Spirit Demon Palace couldn’t find it until their dying breath, we…we should probably take it slow and be patient.”
“Hmph, time waits for no one. It isn’t just Yunjian Sect watching this place anymore. There’ve been sightings of the major powers such as Bai Yue City and
Danyang Valley. ”
“They’ve not acted so far, but the moment the place is discovered, the likes of Yunjian Sect will not let us go.”
“Actually, it might not be so bad. The power of Yunjian Sect has been declining year by year. Their True Men are growing old and there’s no one to succeed them. If no new True Man emerges in the next two or three decades, Yunjian Sect will be in danger!”
“So, Yunjian Sect wouldn’t dare to be too arrogant. As for the other powers, they are a bit far from here, beyond the reach of their whip. We still have a chance.”
The gathering around the stove went on till late night and then they dispersed.
A Qi Refinement Realm Ninth Layer practitioner left the mansion with another Qi Refinement Realm Eighth Layer practitioner towards the Eight Naga Ridge. He built a hidden underground lair outside the Eight Naga Ridge where, if careful, they would be safe.
He wasn’t as brazen as the guy in the mansion who had seized a rich merchant’s property and concealed himself among ordinary people.
Thinking he could hide in plain sight.
But if an orthodox powerhouse was to pass by, he would certainly die.
“However, in a few days, it’ll be more assured to call him. Chen’s spirit mine transports ores out every month. If we can seize their harvest once, it’ll allow us to hibernate for another year.”
The Qi Refinement Realm Ninth Layer magic practitioner pondered as he walked across a hill. Suddenly, clouds rose and twelve cloud dragons roared into the sky, controlling the mist, forming a barrier and trapping him and his clan brother in the formation.
The magic practitioner’s face changed dramatically, “First-grade superior Cloud-Dragon Formation? Yunjian Sect’s inner-sect disciple!?”
“Break through!”
Without a bit of hesitation.
The magic practitioner roared, choosing to break out of the formation and escape.
But, as he summoned his magic artifact and threw two first-grade superior magic amulets specifically used to break formations to destroy the cloud dragon formation, a dark shadow suddenly emerged from the fog!
The two magic amulets struck the shadow, causing it to falter only slightly.
There wasn’t even a single mark left on it.
“Whoosh!!!”
“Boom!!!”
The Qi Refinement Realm Ninth Layer magic practitioner was horrified. He manipulated his magic artifact to clash hard with the shadow. His magical artifact was slapped away by the shadow’s paw. The magic practitioner’s mana collapsed, leaving him lifeless.
“Boom!!!”
The puppet beast smashed away the magic artifact and didn’t stop there. It swiped again at the Qi Refinement Realm Ninth Layer magic practitioner.
The magic practitioner had no choice but to fight back. He was caught off guard and immediately ended up at a disadvantage, being knocked away by the puppet beast and banging against the cloud-dragon formation barrier behind him.
“Ugh!” The magic practitioner groaned, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
He looked at the sudden emergence of an imposing puppet beast, a gigantic figure of a dozen feet, dark as a phantom, with a pressure even more terrifying than a beast of the same rank.
The magic practitioner cried out in shock: “First-grade top-tier Puppet Beast!
This is it!
Besides people from the Yunjian Sect, there was also this puppet beast, and they were trapped in formation. Now that the formation-breaking amulets were gone as well. What should they do?
Whoosh!
The puppet beast lunged again, thoroughly overpowering the two demonic cultivators who werre struggling to fend it off. Their attacks barely scratched the puppet beast, but a single swipe from it was enough to injure or even kill them both.
“Shh!”
Just as they were desperately fending off the puppet beast, a flying sword abruptly shot out.
Simultaneously,
The puppet beast lunged out, violently batting away the eighth stage Qi Refinement realm demonic cultivator with one swipe of its paw.
“Splat!” While still in mid-air, the flying sword swiftly pierced through his skull. The demonic cultivator’s eyes bulged out with blood gushing from his mouth. He died with his eyes wide open.
Su Zhi made her move, joining forces with the puppet beast and instantly killed the eighth stage Qi Refinement realm demonic cultivator.
She then teamed up with the puppet beast again, and effortlessly killed the remaining ninth stage Qi Refinement realm demonic cultivator.
Looking at the dissipated Yunlong Formation, Chen Sisi who was in charge of controlling it was continuously taken aback. The puppet beast Su Yu brought out was incredibly powerful and fierce!
Even a ninth-stage Qi Refinement cultivator controlling middle-grade demonic magic artifact was completely suppressed by the ferocious attack style of the puppet beast!
One could say that such a puppet beast was hundreds, thousands of times better than so called high-grade talismans and formations! In common cultivator clans, it could protect them for thousands of generations as long as there were Spirit Stones to drive it. After all, puppet beasts have no lifespan!
“Did Su Yu make this puppet beast himself or did the Su family buy it…” Chen Sisi was quietly thinking it over. If he made it himself, then aside from having somewhat insufficient talent in cultivation, his other talents appeared monstrous.
She did not know that Su Yu had also cultivated the path of the Puppet Master.
Not far away,
Su Qingyi’s expression subtly changed. The formidable power of the puppet beast shocked him and made his face slightly twisted.
“Su Yu… despite your poor talent for cultivation, why do you always have it better than me!” Su Qingyi looked very unhappy, his thoughts growing more and more extreme.
Su Zhi stored away the two demonic cultivators’ severed heads, along with the magic artifacts, Qiankun Bag, and other gains.
“Let’s go!”
“We’ll go to that manor next, and slaughter the remaining demonic cultivators!”
The successful ambush significantly boosted Su Zhi’s confidence. She was thrilled by the tremendous combat power of Su Yu’s puppet beast, which far exceeded her imagination.
Even inside the Yunjian Sect, there wasn’t a puppet beast of such a high caliber available for exchange.
The appearance of the puppet beast was a delightful surprise for her, which brought a strange sense of happiness.
With her cousin Su Yu and the family backing her, she felt very fortunate.
Not long after,
The trio arrived at the manor and invaded it directly.
Besides a ninth-stage Qi Refinement realm demonic cultivator, there were another five demonic cultivators of Qi Refinement eighth-stage or below. It was a small nest of demonic cultivators.
After half an hour, tranquility finally returned to the manor, even though the demonic cultivators had set up a demonic formation.
They had only managed to resist for half an hour before the formation was shattered by the puppet beast. The demonic cultivators’ heads were chopped down one by one under the joined forces of the puppet beast and Su Zhi, restoring peace to the manor.
The mission was completed with surplus. Su Zhi returned joyously with her companions. After handing the puppet beast back to Su Yu, she went back to the sect to settle the mission and exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills.
Next, Su Zhi will begin to isolate herself to prepare for her breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Half a month later,
Su Yu received a letter from Su Zhi: “Dear Little Yu, I have successfully broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. I will continue to seclude myself for a while. When I come out, I will certainly heavily repay your help. Hehe, just wait for it.”
Su Yu was very pleased reading this letter. The Su family had another person break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm!
Everything was flourishing, ensuring his safety to continue cultivating at the market.
Afterward, he continued to analyze the puppet beast.
“Can I combine the advantages of these two types of puppet beasts to create a more powerful one?”
