Chapter 330: Master Shahai

Half a month later, under the guidance of Master Wei, Lu Changan repaired the outer shell of the blue-armored puppet.

Puppet Master Wei was pleasantly surprised to learn that Lu Changan was a third-level high-grade weapon refiner, which would help improve the quality of the puppet.

Thanks to the special "Soul Puppet Seed Technique", Master Wei's puppet soul consciousness can remain awake for a long time, which can be used for research and creation of puppets, or for outings.

If it were in the past, Puppet Master Wei would need to sleep for a period of time after waking up to take action in order to continue his consciousness and avoid being eroded by the power of ghosts.

However, Lu Changan's soul from his previous life is rootless and cannot be truly absorbed. It will be consumed and disintegrated naturally. At best, "energy saving" can be used to slow down its dissipation speed.

Even if it cannot be absorbed, the power of the soul in the previous life will help to cultivate and improve the puppet spirit.

Later, under the guidance of Master Wei, Lu Changan took some time to practice the art of puppet military formation.

Lu Changan had so many puppets at his disposal that Puppet Master Wei was amazed, but he scorned the refining techniques and corrected them many times.

With the careful guidance of this fourth-level puppet master, Lu Changan directly deployed the best puppet army formation without taking any detours.

…

Soon after, Xing Peng secretly summoned Lu Changan.

Near Wangyue Fairy City, traces of mysterious foreign cultivators are suspected to have appeared again.

"Wangyue Fairy City is relatively close to Wuye Town on the border of Liang Kingdom. It is a good way to return to Liang Kingdom from this direction!"

Lu Changan thought deeply.

He guessed that the mysterious foreign cultivator might attack Jiang Yechen again.

Secondly, Lu Changan will also become one of the targets after he returns.

In fact, Wujianmen's spies are already stationed near Wuye Town.

Lu Changan conducted a divination on this.

"It's strange that when the clues and information are relatively clear, we can't deduce the movement traces of monks from other states."

Lu Changan frowned. His divination was very difficult, and he was faced with the ever-changing mist of heaven.

The future has too many variables to determine.

When this happens, either the opponent is very strong and has a Nascent Soul level.

Or, there are treasures or means to shield the secret.

Lu Changan thought for a long time and decided to send a puppet clone to support the situation near Wuye Town.

He himself kept a certain distance, waiting for the opportunity.

…

Two days later.

The assassin puppet and the charm puppet quietly arrived near Nightless Town.

After being promoted to the late stage of Jindan, Lu Changan could light up his second life in just three months. After all, his soul had already surpassed his previous life.

It takes five years to light up the fourth life.

This is not a quantitative difference, but a qualitative transformation of the Nascent Soul level.

Therefore, the fourth life must be economical and stay at the critical moment.

Thousands of miles away from Wuye Town, Lu Changan controlled two puppet clones.

In fact, the quasi-fourth-level puppet integrated into the second life can also act as a puppet clone.

Lu Changan can also share vision and senses.

With Wei Puppet Master's awareness, he doesn't have to be distracted during the actual fight.

The quasi-fourth-level puppet can completely fight independently and respond flexibly according to the actual situation.

However, before he knew the reality of the monks from other states, Lu Changan was instinctively cautious and hid his strength.

On the southeast side of Wuye Town, on a high cliff three hundred miles away.

Three black shadows appeared one after another.

The light of the moonlit night fell around them and was distorted by invisible forces, making them invisible.

The young man in blue robe in the middle has three-dimensional facial features, deep eyes, a pair of big ears between his temples, and his outline is much larger than that of an ordinary person.

To his left and right were two monks in the middle stage of the alchemy process, a man and a woman.

Many years after arriving in Daqing, the three Tinghai Pavilion monks not only recovered from their injuries, but also eliminated the foreign aura on their bodies.

At this moment, there is no difference between him and the local monks in Daqing.

"The great elder has recovered most of his magic power. If we capture Jiang Yechen this time, we will definitely be able to capture him easily."

The tall beauty in a feather skirt beside her had blue eyes and Qingyue said with a smile.

"The Jinyang Sect has only one Nascent Soul True Lord left, and he has to deal with the demonic battlefield. Now in the Liang Kingdom's immortal world, no one can stop the True Lord."

The black-faced man wearing weird scale armor complimented and smiled.

True Monarch Chahai had no expression on his face, staring at Wuyezhen in the distance, which was shrouded in formations. His big ears behind his hair were beating frequently.

"Walk!"

True Lord Chahai suddenly spoke, and his cold voice seemed to come from the deep sea.

The black-faced man and the woman in the feather skirt did not hesitate at all, and followed True Lord Chahai to evacuate the surrounding area of ​​Wuye Town.

"Great Elder, is there an ambush in Wuye Town?"

On the way, the woman in the feather skirt asked softly.

"It's just a few cockroaches, there's no need to alert the snake."

Zhenjun Chahai spoke calmly, with a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"After traveling through the space node channel, my mana has not yet returned to its full strength. If I use Nascent Soul-level methods, I will be noticed by the fourth-order induction array set up by the Guardian Alliance."

The fourth-level formation masters of the Wei Dao Alliance have set up special induction formations in the Three Kingdoms. Once Nascent Soul-level mana or escaping light appears in the country, they will be sensed immediately.

This kind of induction formation is to deal with the enemy's Nascent Soul Master stealing the house from behind.

With the full speed of True Lord Yuanying, across the huge Liang Kingdom, it won't take long for him to return to defense in time.

"Moreover, the Wujian Sect comes from the Six Demonic Sects, so its methods should not be underestimated."

True Lord Chahai has no fear of the Nascent Soul forces on the side of the Wei Dao League.

But the strength of the six demonic sects can be considered a large sect even if placed in the Great Abyss.

For example, Beast King Valley is comparable to the middle and upper reaches of the "Zhenhai Sixteen Sects".

A few years ago, when they first came to the territory of the Wei Dao League, Master Sha Hai did not know the truth and killed the Wu Jian Men's spy, which attracted the attention of the force.

This brought trouble to the actions of Master Sha Hai and the other two.

In addition, the Wei Dao League wanted them, and they had not recovered from their injuries. They had to lie dormant for a few years to restore their strength, understand local intelligence, and wait for an opportunity to act.

…

Ten days later.

Lu Changan returned to Jinyun Valley without success.

Through the puppet clone, Lu Changan negotiated with Xing Peng, and Wu Jian Men did not gain anything, and came up empty-handed.

At present, Wu Jian Men is only concerned with collecting intelligence and has no plans to take action.

This failure did not mean that Lu Changan had no gains.

Due to the increase in information media, Lu Changan's divination deduced that the mysterious foreign cultivator had come to Wu Ye Town, but did not take action.

"It is not like the cultivators from other states have the ability to divination..."

Lu Changan pondered for a long time.

With many deductions and this approach, he did not detect any traces of the existence of the divination opponent.

Unless the opponent's divination ability far exceeds his.

Lu Changan directly ruled this out.

First, divination is a very unconventional way.

Secondly, if the mysterious external cultivator had the means of a heavenly master, he would have locked onto Lu Changan long ago, instead of being delayed for so long by Jiang Yechen's cover.

Since divination is ruled out.

Considering the mysterious external cultivator, who repeatedly evaded the wanted pursuit of the Weidao League and Wujianmen, it is difficult to find the exact trace.

Lu Changan can only speculate that the other party has a strong sense or has a sense-type magical power.

"Some trouble..."

Lu Changan rubbed his eyebrows and determined that he had encountered an unprecedented difficult enemy.

Abnormally strong senses mean that the opponent can see through the opportunity and is not afraid of attacks or ambushes.

No wonder, the previous divination was full of variables.

Because the opponent has insight into the opportunity, he can make a favorable response according to the actual situation.

...

The development of things is still beyond Lu Changan's expectations.

Late that night.

Lu Changan's sea of ​​consciousness trembled slightly, and caught a trace of induction from the direction of the beastmaster Zhou family.

Puff!

The Gu God Ban planted in Zhou Qingxuan's sea of ​​consciousness was suddenly destroyed, and the induction caused alarmed Lu Changan, the caster.

"Not good! The external cultivator found the Beast Tamer Zhou family!"

Lu Changan calculated with his fingers, his face gloomy, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Zhou Qingxuan was captured alive by the mysterious external cultivator, who searched her soul, causing the Gu God Ban to erupt and her sea of ​​consciousness to collapse.

The Gu God Ban left by Lu Changan on Xing Peng and Zhou Qingxuan has been continuously improved after several lifetimes of experience and knowledge, and has the function of preventing soul searches.

Once someone searches their souls or uses psychedelic methods on the two, the Gu God Ban will break out.

Lu Changan suppressed his murderous intent and sighed: Zhou Qingxuan's lifespan is approaching the limit, and she is almost going to die.

This woman was originally just a slave accepted by Lu Changan, and she chose to surrender in order to survive. But after all, she has worked hard for more than two hundred years and served attentively.

Lu Changan's murderous intent towards the mysterious external cultivator is even stronger.

He was not sure how many secrets his opponent knew in the ruins, so it would be best to capture and kill him and get the truth, so that he could feel at ease.

"The mysterious external cultivator actually bypassed Jiang Yechen and found Zhou Qingxuan. I'm afraid he has set his sights on me."

Lu Changan did not lose his mind and analyzed calmly.

Without a Taoist partner or offspring, he was not afraid of any coercion.

Soon, Lu Changan found the suspicious point.

Why did the external cultivator target Zhou Qingxuan?

Lu Changan had never officially appeared in the Beast Taming Zhou family, and his relationship with Zhou Qingxuan was relatively private.

In the past hundred years, Lu Changan had only contacted Zhou Qingxuan through a puppet clone.

In the eyes of the outside world, Lu Changan and Zhou Qingxuan had a friendship, but it was not that deep.

Lu Changan calculated for a long time and got a preliminary result:

His first stop back to the Wei Dao League was to secretly visit the Beast Taming Zhou family, and there might be loopholes. Even if his divine sense had explored the surroundings of the Zhou family at that time, there was nothing unusual.

But Zhou Tianchi, the patriarch of the Beast Control Zhou family, had met Lu Changan. Even if Zhou Qingxuan asked him to keep it secret, there was still a possibility of the theory being leaked.

"That day at the Beast Control Zhou family, in addition to secretly visiting Zhou Qingxuan... I also secretly met Xing Peng!"

Lu Changan's face suddenly changed.

He immediately sent out his puppet clone to contact Xing Peng in the same way as before.

However, after a few days, he still couldn't contact Xing Peng.

Instead, the Beast Control Zhou family received news.

Zhou Qingxuan, the ancestor of the Zhou family, had his soul lamp shattered and disappeared.

The patriarch Zhou Tianchi hurried back and ordered someone to report the bad news to Lu Changan.

At present, Zhou Qingxuan's death is only known to a few senior members of the Zhou family and is concealed from the outside world.

Obviously, the mysterious external cultivator that day sneaked into the Zhou family and captured Zhou Qingxuan alive.

Fortunately, the patriarch Zhou Tianchi was not in the family at the time and escaped.

Lu Changan could see that the mysterious external cultivator paid attention to the impact and did not exterminate the family at will.

If a great family of immortal cultivators is directly destroyed, it will attract the attention of Liang State and even the Weidao League.

The disappearance or death of a fake Dan Zhenren will not alarm the top.

...

Seven days passed.

Lu Changan still did not contact Xing Peng, and the Gu Shen Ban in his sea of ​​consciousness did not work.

Lu Changan did not need to calculate, and was sure that Xing Peng was captured alive.

Lu Changan decisively let the puppet clone erase some traces left at the place where he had contacted Xing Peng before.

Xing Peng is the incense master of Wujianmen. His disappearance will attract the attention of Wujianmen's top leaders.

"The mysterious external cultivator's methods are terrible, beyond the cultivators of Daqing Land!"

Lu Changan felt a lot of pressure.

So far, he didn't know the true details of his opponent.

Fortunately, Lu Changan hid himself deeply, and the strength he showed to the outside world was just the tip of the iceberg.

"The divination of the Heavenly Master is really accurate!"

Lu Changan recalled the fortune-telling of the Heavenly Master before he left.

Within ten years, Lu Changan will have a catastrophe in the East Region of Daqing.

In the short term, the risk is not great;

However, the longer he stays in the East Region of Daqing, the higher the risk, and it may even brew into a catastrophe.

The best way to break the catastrophe is to leave the East Region of Daqing, the farther the better.

Therefore, Lu Changan's previous reply to Zhang Tieshan was that he would not be back for more than ten years this time.

"Can't delay, must fight quickly and decisively!"

Lu Changan made up his mind.

He had a hunch that the longer it was delayed, the more trouble it would cause.

This also confirmed the divination of the Heavenly Master.

As time goes by, the mysterious external cultivator will know more and more about him.

Three days later.

Lu Changan spent two years of his life to forcibly improve his divination skills, and calculated the relevant information of the mysterious external cultivator, and got some clues.

From the clues and calculation results accumulated over the years, that person is not a complete Yuanying Zhenjun.

Lu Changan immediately made a plan and took the initiative to attack!

It is unrealistic to hide in Jinyun Valley and passively defend.

It is impossible for the mysterious external cultivator to attack the Xiuxian Sect head-on in the short term to capture and kill him.

"If this plan fails, immediately go to Fengguo to obtain Taiyin Jade Liquid and leave Daqing East Region."

Lu Changan planned a retreat in advance.

...

Late at night the next day, Lu Changan quietly left Jinyun Valley and went to the Black Mist Mountains northwest of the Beast Taming Zhou Family.

Under normal circumstances, Lu Changan can sense the location of the Gu God Ban.

The mysterious external cultivator did not seem to notice it, or did it on purpose, and did not block the induction of the Gu God Ban.

Lu Changan did not care, and went directly into the Black Mist Mountains and released a puppet clone.

He was worried that the outsiders had left some tricks in the Beast Taming Zhou Family, so he simply didn't ask Zhou Tianchi for information, after all, he had made a mistake in the Zhou Family.

After traveling thousands of miles in the Black Mist Mountains, Lu Changan found traces of the Wujianmen spy.

That's right, Lu Changan had shared Xing Peng's location information with the Wujianmen's base in advance.

Wujianmen is good at scouting and tracking, and Xing Peng's identity is unusual enough to attract the attention of the top leaders.

Lu Changan plans to use the Wujianmen to help him find out the truth.

Half a day later.

In the Black Mist Mountains, somewhere in a deep mountain valley.

Three black shadows came out of the cave, and they were the three people of Shahai Zhenjun.

In the cave, Xing Peng's painful groans came.

"Grand Elder, that kid may have concealed some key information."

The beautiful woman in the feather skirt pondered.

"That's enough."

Shahai Zhenjun's voice was cold and calm.

"Xing Peng's alchemy was restored with the help of Lu Chang'an. It must be an opportunity in the ancient ruins. According to the ancestors' records, I heard that Haige had alchemy artifacts such as 'Yin Yang Water'. Excluding the dead fairy master, Lu Chang'an is most likely to have contact with the core opportunity in the ruins."

"Now that Xing Peng has been captured, Lu Chang'an has colluded with Wuxianmen and has the secret of opportunity. He is a frightened bird and will definitely not sit still."

"Haha! Lu Chang'an is destined to not escape the palm of the Zhenjun. As long as he leaves Jinyun Valley, he will not be able to escape. If he doesn't hide, we will expose the news that he is colluding with Wuxianmen."

The black-faced scaled man chuckled.

He knew very well that the water-based magical power of the Zhenjun Shahai had left monitoring methods in the relevant forces.

Two years ago, Lu Chang'an secretly visited the beast-controlling Zhou family, and Xing Peng's arrival was detected by the Zhenjun's monitoring methods.

"Huh? You came so fast!"

At this time, the big ears behind the Zhenjun Shahai's temples twitched slightly, capturing the approach of more than one Jindan cultivator.

A moment later.

Several blurry shadows slowly approached the deep mountain valley where the three people of Shahai Zhenjun were in the strange fog.

"The elder may be a high-level official of Wuxian Sect. Lu Changan is indeed colluding with him."

The beautiful woman in feather skirt sneered.

Swish!

A large area of ​​strange fog rushed in, covering the deep mountain valley.

"Tsk tsk, a late-stage master and two mid-stage Jindan. Jueying, we caught a big fish."

Six strange figures of Wuxian Sect came with the thick fog and surrounded the three people in the valley.

The two leading shadows turned from virtual to real.

They were the mysterious man in the black cloak and the gray-robed man in the black cloak, with distorted and blurred faces.

The mysterious man in the black cloak was the Jueying helmsman who killed Xie Wuji that year.

He was also Xing Peng's eldest cousin.

The two Jueying helmsmen hid in the depths of the thick fog and let the four men take action first, waiting for an opportunity to move.

Poison gas arrows, ghostly blades, evil voices and evil winds...all kinds of vicious assassination methods were used to kill the three blue-robed youths of Tinghai Pavilion.

The feather-skirted beauty and the black-faced man respectively offered an umbrella-shaped magic weapon and a black bead magic weapon.

The black bead magic weapon rippled with black light, releasing a sticky black water with a radius of a hundred feet, isolating most of the vicious methods of the invisible substances of Wujianmen.

The umbrella-shaped magic weapon floated above his head, rotating at high speed, slashing out arc-shaped wind blades with wind and lightning, each of which was more than ten feet long, forming a thunderous wind blade like a tornado.

The two of them joined forces to easily block the assassination of the four early and middle stage Jindan of Wujianmen, and even launched a counterattack, causing the two close assassins to retreat in panic.

The blue-robed big-eared youth in the middle, with the cultivation of the late stage of Jindan, did not make a move, but looked at the hiding place of the two Jueying helmsmen intentionally or unintentionally.

"The external cultivation methods are amazing."

"We've been discovered! Attack directly!"

The leader of Jueying and the gray-robed man looked at each other and made a decisive move.

The gray-robed man was at the peak of the Jindan stage, and his figure blurred and disappeared.

The next moment.

Above the heads of the three people in Tinghai Pavilion, a ghostly gray fog giant appeared, ten feet tall. It opened its mouth and rushed towards the blue-robed youth with a thick and disgusting gray smoke.

Wherever it went, the surrounding grass, trees, mountains and rocks turned into ashes, like a hell on earth.

The leader of Jueying also made a move, but at a faster speed.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

His figure was divided into three on the spot, turning into three cloaked shadows that were not real or virtual, and slashed out shadow-like arc-shaped ghost blades.

The feather-skirted beauty and the black-faced man were shocked and groaned one after another.

Bang!

The former's umbrella-shaped magic weapon was dim, and the feather-skirted beauty's shoulder revealed a bloodstain that was deep enough to see the bone.

"Be careful! This man is not an ordinary Jindan master."

The scales of the black-faced man were also cut open, and his heart was pounding, and he retreated rapidly.

The last cloaked shadow came to the back of Master Shahai and slashed a stronger blow.

Buzz!

The deep blue water lingered around Master Shahai, weaving a liquid blue robe, gorgeous and dazzling, like a dream, blocking the attacks of the gray fog giant and the cloaked shadow at the same time.

The powerful attacks of the two helmsmen of Wujian Sect were like a stone sinking into the sea, and were resisted and absorbed by the gorgeous liquid blue robe.

"What kind of magical power is this?"

The two helmsmen of Jueying were shocked.

The offensive of the two did not stir up a single wave, let alone break the defense.

You know, as the two Jindan masters of Wujian Sect, their strength far exceeds that of most of the Jindan masters of Weidao League.

…

"Haha! Well done!"

The True Lord Shahai grinned, and the big ears behind his temples jumped again, catching the figure of a man in white. He entered the area of ​​hundreds of miles and actually went around behind him?

Going around?

It's really ridiculous!

Did Lu Changan think that with the help of the power of Wujian Sect, he could eliminate the three "Jiedan Stage" foreign cultivators and eliminate future troubles?

Hugugu!

The True Lord Shahai's mana increased greatly, and the blue lake around him was as deep as the sea. A deep blue hand emerged from it, flashing with electric patterns, and grabbed into the void with thunder.

The gray fog giant above his head saw this, and with a "whoosh", it split into countless gray fogs and scattered, and directly fled in pieces.

Seeing that the deep blue hand was empty, the gray fog leaked through the gaps between its fingers.

"Jueying, save me--"

In the void, a translucent gray robe figure was pulled out from the shallow layer of the void by the deep blue hand.

The leader of Jueying was horrified: the gray fog escape technique of the leader of Huijin contained the magical power of space system, but it was caught accurately by the blue-robed young man with one strike.

Ordinary people who have just reached the early stage of Yuanying may not be able to do it.

Whoosh!

The blue-robed big-eared young man in the field of vision, the blue lake magic power surging around his body, his spiritual pressure has exceeded the scope of the Jindan stage!

"This person is not in the Jindan stage..."

The three cloaked shadows transformed by the leader of Jueying retreated rapidly.

"Ah!"

The body of the leader of Huijin turned from virtual to real, with mist rising, and was caught by the deep blue hand of the blue-robed young man. He did not hold on for two breaths and broke into several pieces.

A tyrannical Jindan master died.

"Cousin, save me——"

At this time, a surprised and hoarse cry for help came from the cave.

The leader of Jueying had a dark face and cursed secretly: this useless cousin actually provoked such a terrifying mysterious person.

Such a cousin, it is better not to have it!

As soon as the leader of Jueying escaped to the outskirts of the valley, he found that his feet had turned into a blue swamp.

The blue swamp spun, the waves surged, and three water whirlpools were formed. The terrifying pulling force pulled the three cloaked shadows in the air down.

Bang bang bang!

Seeing that the escape was not right, the three cloaked shadows exploded and turned into thousands of shadow fragments. The powerful force offset the water whirlpool.

The next moment.

A solid cloaked figure escaped from the shadow of the grass a hundred feet away from the valley.

Wow!

The leader of Jueying spat out a mouthful of blood, his face was as pale as paper, and he stroked his chest, extremely weak.

At this time, the mana fluctuations of the God of Shahai in the valley reached the threshold of the Nascent Soul Stage.

Several screams came one after another.

The four Wuxianmen assassins in the early and middle stages of the Jindan were all swallowed by the blue swamp on the ground.

"Shadow escape? Interesting..."

The God of Shahai glanced at the leader of Jueying who escaped from the valley with serious injuries, and was about to raise his hand.

At this time, the big ears behind his temples beat faster.

Wow!

The body of Master Shahai turned into a stream of water, merged into the blue lake under his feet, and disappeared out of thin air.

"Not good!"

The Jueying helmsman realized something and reacted quickly. He slapped his palm on the grass and evaporated all the water vapor around.

He looked around nervously to make sure there were no other traces of water, and no trace of Master Shahai was found.

After a few breaths.

In a ravine a hundred miles away.

Wow!

The deep blue water that Master Shahai turned into emerged out of thin air from the mountain stream.

The man in white clothes not far away turned back unexpectedly and lost his voice in horror:

"Water Escape Technique!"
