Minglong

Chapter 285 Bu Qingya

Xie Jinhuan had only heard of super-grade puppets in legends; he didn't know if they existed in the world, but this one in the sky was clearly not like that.

After all, puppets have no mind, no supernatural powers or magic, and can only fight by relying on their carefully nurtured and resilient physique. Therefore, 90% of the puppets are made from martial artists, and they cannot control the power of heaven and earth, nor can they fly on their own.

But the Black Impermanence in the sky does seem to be being controlled by someone.

Xie Jinhuan's eyes quickly searched the foggy sea, looking for the other party's whereabouts, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the white-haired mad dog that had been thrown out raise its hand again.

Then the mist surged, and a jet-black chain, like a black snake, darted out, making a 'whooshing' sound along the way, like a dragon swimming up and down the sea of ​​mist.

The chains swayed softly, but Xie Jinhuan felt the sound reverberate from the depths of his mind, causing his soul to tremble and him to feel dizzy.

Soul-binding chains?!

Although Xie Jinhuan had never seen this divine object before, he knew from its imposing presence that it was a family heirloom of the Gu Poison Sect. It was originally the weapon of the Corpse Ancestor, but its whereabouts were unknown until Bu Qingya was killed by it.

According to the book, this item is a celestial artifact of the same level as the Zheng Lun Sword. Its description is "soul binding". Even a celestial being would likely have his body and soul separated if struck by it. As a low-level cultivator, his soul would be forced out of his body and he would inevitably lose the ability to resist.

Realizing he had encountered a formidable foe, Xie Jinhuan immediately retreated to avoid being caught off guard by the shock of his soul. However, the Black Impermanence in the sky was no simple puppet and was terrifyingly strong.

The moment he tried to escape the battle, the black and green mist sea suddenly displayed an unusual phenomenon, followed by a surge of dark red light.

hum~
Xie Jinhuan looked up and saw a pair of giant eyes suddenly emerge from the sea of ​​mist!
The outline of its eyes is that of peach blossom eyes, somewhat resembling Sister Bu, but clearly sharper and more heroic, and its size is also much larger, like a demon god hidden in the mist, with dark red light directly illuminating the town below.

The people who had initially noticed the unusual activity and frantically looked up at the sky were stunned the moment they came into contact with the giant eye in the sea of ​​fog.

Xie Jinhuan only had one thought in his mind: "Heart Moon Fox Eyes?" before he found that the surrounding scene had completely changed and he was standing in front of a large red round bed.

Before me were seven or eight large, round, plump, white moons, their pink lips parting and closing, looking drool-worthy...

"Holy crap—?!"

Xie Jinhuan's pupils contracted and his mind was shaken, but he quickly recovered and closed his eyes to gather his energy to attack his soul gate.

Meanwhile, in the sky above the town.

The moment Xie Jinhuan met Shuang Tong's gaze, he lost his focus and fell freely. Black snake-like chains shot out, and the white-haired mad dog attacked again, trying to seize the opportunity to kill him with one blow.

Illusionary charms are similar to dreams; their power lies in making the victim see what they most desire or fear, causing them to be momentarily stunned or become lost in the illusion.

With Xie Jinhuan's skill level, it wouldn't be difficult for him to break free from the illusion. However, the purpose of such supernatural abilities is not to suppress for a long time, but to make the opponent lose focus for a moment and expose their weaknesses.

Heart Moon Fox Eye is the strongest illusion technique in the Southern Frontier. It is instantaneous with no wind-up. As long as it hits head-on, even Lü Yan will be stunned for a moment and be caught off guard. The only people in the world who can ignore this are the living saints of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

Xie Jinhuan could see seven or eight large white moons stacked high above, which clearly showed that he still retained a childlike heart. However, he was well-trained, and his eyes regained their clarity after falling only a few feet.

But the black chains that were just darting around in the fog had already rushed more than ten feet away, and the white-haired mad dog also closed in, launching a combined attack from both sides!
Xie Jinhuan opened his eyes and was instantly plunged into a desperate situation. He felt a chill run down his spine, but he did not panic. He thrust his right hand, Zheng Lun Sword, straight at the throat of the white-haired mad dog, forcing it to parry and retreat.

All his energy was focused on the more intimidating Soul-Binding Lock, and he swung the Heavenly Mace with all his might in his left hand.

clang--

A thunderous explosion suddenly erupted in mid-air.

As expected, the white-haired mad dog parried the fatal sword strike, then leaped away to create distance, failing to find an opportunity to inflict serious damage.

However, the black chains were different. Xie Jinhuan swung his mace, but the chains were not deflected. Instead, they wrapped around the Heavenly Gang Mace, and then:
Call ~
White flames surged out of the sea of ​​mist along the chains, emitting a chilling cold instead of warmth. Wisps of green mist were also wrapped within the flames, which instantly spread to the Heavenly Mace.

Xie Jinhuan was taken aback when he saw the familiar move, and the Zheng Lun sword in his hand lit up with a bluish-green light:
Boom——

A bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl shot into the sea of ​​fog, illuminating a large part of the sky. The silhouette of a person holding chains also briefly appeared in the fog. The chains binding the Heavenly Mace then fell off, and the pale white flames dissipated in the air.

Although Xie Jinhuan reacted quickly, his left hand, which held the Heavenly Mace, was still stained with some embers of flame.

Although the skin and flesh were not burned, the burning pain originating from the soul quickly spread throughout the body, and the potent poison contained within was rapidly dissolving muscles and bones.

Xie Jinhuan tried to heal his wounds by stimulating his blood and qi, but he discovered that the strong poison was causing continuous damage. Although the demonic cultivation technique had prevented damage to his left arm, his essence and blood were being constantly depleted, and the damage would not stop until the poison was removed.

Xie Jinhuan didn't care about his minor injury at this moment. Holding his two weapons, he created some distance. Because Hei Wuchang's extremely wide-range pupil technique was a bit outrageous, he couldn't even look up at the sky rashly. He just sensed the movement above and spoke loudly:
"Senior Bu? We're on the same side! I'm Bu Yuehua's friend..."

Wow~
The chains retracted into the sea of ​​mist, while the black-robed impermanence who controlled the chains never revealed his figure from beginning to end.

But this iconic Crescent Moon Manor technique, coupled with the terrifying suppressive force that even he dared not face, could only be used by Bu Qingya, the former second-in-command of the Gu Poison Sect. There was no other person like him in the world.

Xie Jinhuan initially thought that Bu Qingya had become a puppet, but the 'Heart Moon Fox Eye' was also a soul spell, and since a puppet has no soul, it was impossible for it to be used.

Therefore, Bu Qingya should not be dead, but rather under control, which is why he tried to awaken him.

But there was no response from the sea of ​​fog. Instead, the white-haired figure who had been forced back said:

"Indeed impressive, no wonder he was able to kill so many of my Underworld God Cult's experts..."

As they spoke, the black and green sea of ​​mist churned again, and the rattling sound of chains echoed through the night sky.

Xie Jinhuan killed the white-haired mad dog as easily as playing a game, but Bu Qingya was really outrageous. The powerful poison Moonfire Soul-Binding Lock was already extremely intimidating, and illusions were even more ineffective.

Bu Yuehua and Wanyi had to find a way to make people look directly into their eyes when they used this supernatural power, and Bu Qingya, for some unknown reason, had eyes that covered the sky and the sun, so that as long as one was not blind, it was impossible for him not to see them.

He also has no resistance to charm, so if he wants to fight, he can only lower his head or close his eyes. But even if he avoids the illusion, the Strong Poison Moonfire Soul-Binding Lock is not easy to deal with, and it is also difficult to touch the Poison Rat of the Gu Poison Sect.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, Xie Jinhuan dodged and sped away, grabbing Mo Mo who was approaching with a sword drawn midway:

"Has the message been sent out?"

Seeing Xie Jinhuan fall from the sky, Linghu Qingmo risked approaching to check on him, and anxiously examined him:
"I delivered it. How are you doing?"

"fine……"

Xie Jinhuan knew Meiqiu's abilities; he was very reliable in big situations. As long as the message could be sent back in time, Lu Wuzhen would know what to do.

Seeing the two pursuing him again, Xie Jinhuan did not engage in a prolonged fight, but instead flew towards Ningzhou to seek reinforcements.

If someone helps him hold off Bu Qingya for a moment, he can kill that mad dog alone and thus break the control.

Normally, each prefecture in the Great Qian Dynasty has at least one person of the highest rank stationed there to prevent evil spirits from causing trouble. Unfortunately, the official leader of Huzhou is Fanyun Temple, while the underground boss is Shen Jinyu.

Shen Jinyu has returned to the embrace of the Blood God, while the abbot of Fanyun Temple only obtained the breakthrough medicine from Emperor Qian by currying favor. His strength is probably not as good as Cao Fo'er's. He is still in the temple on the border of Huzhou and Ningzhou. It is hard to say whether he can detect the unusual activity in Huzhou City.

Even if they discover it, since the current battle hasn't triggered a surge of bloodlust, most cultivators won't assume it's the work of demons and monsters.

Therefore, he had no choice but to move to Fanyun Temple to seek help.

The white-haired mad dog chasing him from behind clearly understood his intentions. After chasing for a while and realizing it couldn't catch up, it released poisonous fog, threatening to massacre the village and town, forcing him to turn back and fight back.

Then the two sides began to pull at each other, slowly moving towards the outskirts of Huzhou...

……

On the other side, Luojing.

The turmoil in Huzhou has not yet affected the situation in the capital.

Within the vast city, there was singing and dancing, and the palace did not appear to be under heavy guard. However, Lu Wuzhen did not let his guard down. He hid himself in the Penglai Palace, the emperor's residence, keeping a close eye on the emperor to ensure that no mishaps would occur before the news was sent back.

Inside the Eight Directions Bright Pagoda on the east side of the Imperial City.

Nangong Ye changed into a black and white Taoist robe, carried a sword box on his back, and stood on the star-gazing platform, overlooking the city in the afterglow. His aloof and icy demeanor gave him a sense of being a guardian ancestor of the nation.

Behind them was the large desk that should have been used by the supervisor in his office.

Bu Yuehua, dressed in a dark blue dress, examined the Qilin figurine and the writing implements on the table, and softly praised them:

"As expected of the position of the supervisor, it is indeed prestigious. I wonder if I will ever have the opportunity to take on this responsibility in the future..."

In the Great Qian Dynasty, the cultivation path is clearly hierarchical. The highest-ranking person in a sect is the sect leader, above the sect leader are the heads of the various states, above the sect leaders are the heads of the various factions, and above the sect leaders are the supervisors.

There was no one above the Supervisor. Although his cultivation was not as high as that of the Immortal, Master Qixia and others were retired elders who did not have the authority to deal with people outside the sect. Legally, they had to obey the orders of the Supervisor.

Nangong Ye's childhood dream was to succeed her senior brother Lu as the supervisor. Her background, talent, and character were all qualified in the past, but ever since she became the mistress of a certain marquis, she has become a little insecure...

Upon discovering that this wicked and wicked woman dared to covet the position of supervisor, Nangong Ye turned around:
"Don't touch it recklessly. You struggled even to become the leader of the Gu Poison Sect, how dare you dream of leading the path of cultivation?"

Bu Yuehua didn't dare to touch the Four Noble Ancestor's things, but simply responded:

"We're sisters who share the same bed, and you have the chance to sit in this position, so why can't I?"

Nangong Ye's face turned cold as he glanced at the portraits of the Dan Ding Sect's founders on the wall:
"If you have nothing better to do, go outside and stop spouting nonsense."

Bu Yuehua shrugged slightly and stepped forward to join him in gazing at the city.
"How much longer do we have to wait?"

"Wait until Xie Jinhuan returns."

"Oh... together then?"

"you!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Nangong Ye threw the vixen off the terrace!
However, the other party immediately floated up and continued to corrupt her Dao heart.

Nangong Ye was somewhat helpless, so he simply ignored it and began to think about the situation.

She learned that the Wei family might be in trouble, and to prevent any mishaps in the capital, she urgently sent Zisu to Zihui Mountain. She discovered that Xie Jinhuan had already entered the capital, so she rushed over, only to find that Xie Jinhuan had already gone to Huzhou.

Nangong Ye knew that the capital was of utmost importance, so he sent Zisu and her daughter home to refine elixirs first, while she went to the Imperial Observatory to wait for Xie Jinhuan to return and report to her senior brother Lu.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, Xie Jinhuan did not return, but a sound came from downstairs:

"Senior Nangong, there seems to be some movement in the south. Please take a look."

Upon seeing this, Nangong Ye quickly walked out of the supervisor's office and went down to the spacious room.

The room was open on all four sides, with incantations engraved on the pillars, and in the center was a giant Bagua platform, several times larger than the Tongming Array, which was the size of a table in the Danwang Pavilion.

At this moment, several astronomy students from the Dan Ding School were taking notes on the strange phenomena at Baiyutai with paper and pen.

The jade platform shimmered with light, like ripples on a water surface, occasionally revealing colors. Meanwhile, in the south, there were obvious ripples, appearing as a deep black color.

Bu Yuehua came up to examine it and asked in confusion:
"Black represents water in the Five Elements. Is it raining heavily in Huzhou?"

The Eight Directions Illumination Tower is an extra-large illumination array used to sense the aftershocks of the power of heaven and earth, and can also calculate approximate distances with an accuracy far exceeding that of a cultivator's physical perception.

Blood-fiend and evil energy is difficult to generate naturally, making it very easy to judge. However, the energy of the five elements is everywhere. Thunderstorms, heavy rains, floods, and other events can cause fluctuations in the power of heaven and earth, which are similar to the movements of a five-element sorcerer. Without careful examination, it can easily be overlooked.

Nangong Ye, observing the commotion, initially thought the weather in Huzhou had suddenly changed, but upon closer inspection, he noticed the fluctuations were inconsistent in size and seemed to indicate a shift in direction, causing him to frown.
"It's not raining; it seems some cultivators are making a move in Huzhou."

"Fight?"

Bu Yuehua's expression became more serious, and after thinking for a moment, she said:
Is Xie Jinhuan in Huzhou?

"..."

Nangong Ye fell silent, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.

For the Eight Directions Illumination Pagoda to be able to sense it, it must be a top-tier item.

Xie Jinhuan is there, so he can't stay out of it. But Xie Jinhuan is a martial artist and wouldn't cause such a stir, so he can only be a formidable opponent...

Thinking of this, Nangong Ye turned and walked towards the window:

"Report this to the sect leader immediately, I'll go take a look."

Having said that, he leaped out of the window and sped south; Bu Yuehua followed behind...
