People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 272 Another Puppet

This grand hall is two or three thousand feet tall, standing firmly on the earth like a towering mountain.

Compared to this colossal hall, both the Soul Hall branch halls that Chen Xiao had seen and the main hall of the Pill Tower headquarters appeared 'small and exquisite'.

Looking up at this colossal structure standing between heaven and earth, one can't help but feel a pang of sorrow for the insignificance of one's own life.

The entire palace was dark yellow, as if its brilliance had long been exhausted over the ages, and it exuded an ancient and wild aura.

Perhaps it was because this giant palace was so eye-catching that it could be clearly seen even from a great distance, that everyone in Chen Xiao's sight was rushing toward the giant palace.

When Chen Xiao arrived closer, he discovered that a vast, dark crowd had already gathered outside the giant hall.

Moreover, even more powerful individuals are continuously arriving.

However, by a tacit agreement, no one dared to venture within a hundred meters of the giant hall; all remained at a distance, watching and waiting.

After all, anyone who dares to venture into these ruins is at least at the Douhuang level.

These people, those from powerful forces, were all led by experienced elders, while the rogue cultivators were all shrewd and adept at survival.

Since others weren't in a hurry, Chen Xiao naturally wouldn't be the one to stick his neck out.

Therefore, after arriving at the outer perimeter of the main hall, Chen Xiao began to observe silently.

Sure enough, he felt that familiar feeling of disgust from many of the powerful individuals.

Just as Chen Xiao was silently observing, a series of footsteps came from behind him.

Chen Xiao turned his gaze and saw Qing Lin leading two elders of the Zixiao Pavilion and five inner disciples over.

"Son."

"Pavilion Master!"

Chen Xiao nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the eight people, but he couldn't sense any disgust from them.

However, just to be on the safe side, he still used the Bone Spirit Cold Flame to scan their bodies. He still found nothing unusual, which put his mind at ease.

Only Qinglin seemed to be thinking about this action, while the other seven disciples and elders were all puzzled.

“Young master, this ruin is very strange. After we entered the ruin, we were teleported to different places, but on the way to the center of the ruin, we encountered very few dangers. Instead, we encountered more battles between cultivators.”

"On my journey, I met two disciples and brought them along. Here, I reunited with Elder Yang and the others, and also met Venerable Feng, the Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley, and others. However, after some conversation, I found that none of them had encountered any significant danger or opportunity."

Approaching Chen Xiao's side, Qing Lin frowned slightly and began to recount in detail what she had seen and heard during this period.

Chen Xiao nodded slightly. "There is a strange creature in these ruins that can seize people's minds, subtly influence their emotions, and even control their bodies. When I entered the ruins, I was teleported to a plain where countless low-level strange creatures roamed..."

Chen Xiao didn't hide the matter of the strange creature. In his opinion, such a thing couldn't be kept secret; the stronger one was, the easier it would be to detect.

Since people will inevitably feel uneasy sooner or later, it's better to inform them in advance so they can be prepared.

After hearing Chen Xiao's account, the expressions of the disciples and elders changed slightly. They couldn't help but feel secretly fortunate that it was the Pavilion Master who was teleported to that plain. If it were them, the disciples and elders, they would probably have already met their demise.

"No wonder these powerful figures were chatting and laughing before entering the ruins, but now they are clearly separated and wary of each other."

"It's good to know this in your heart, there's no need to spread it. The opportunities in this ruin are probably all concentrated in this main hall. Once the main hall opens, go inside and act according to your ability."

"Yes!"

After giving instructions to the disciples and elders, Chen Xiao said nothing more and silently waited for the opportunity to enter the main hall.

Time passed by, and more and more people arrived at the scene.

During this time, Yao Chen and Venerable Feng, who were relatively familiar with Chen Xiao, nodded to him from a distance, but did not come forward to talk to him.

Clearly, they may have also noticed that strange creature!
"boom"

The solemn atmosphere lasted for about half an hour. Suddenly, the earth trembled slightly, and the massive hall, which had been silent until now, suddenly roared loudly. Then, everyone saw a dark yellow stone door, as heavy as ten thousand pounds, slowly rise up, revealing a pitch-black passage behind it. "The hall can be entered now!"

"Charge! One step faster, every step faster!"

The serious atmosphere was instantly shattered upon seeing the passageway revealed.

Many people's eyes immediately turned red. Some impatient people even seemed to have completely lost their minds. With a howl, they moved swiftly and appeared outside the passage in a few flashes. Then, amidst bursts of laughter, they rushed in.

Their eager and scrambling manner was completely different from their cautious and silent guard outside the main hall just now!
As more and more people rushed into the main hall, many who had initially hesitated were also infected and began to stir.

In any case, those howls weren't entirely without reason.

Their abilities are average. If they want to stand out from countless competitors and seize opportunities, they must take the initiative and fight with their lives on the line!
Immediately, figures flashed and rushed into the passage, creating a torrent.

Chen Xiao and his group did not rush to take action. Not only them, but also the people from other major forces did the same.

They all knew that the owner of this ancient ruin was very likely a Dou Sheng powerhouse. If the ruins left by a Dou Sheng powerhouse could be entered so easily, it would be too frivolous.

"Pfft!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

And indeed, things turned out exactly as the group of powerful figures had predicted.

Shortly after many people rushed into the passage, brilliant battle aura suddenly shone brightly within the dark passage, like fireworks blooming in the night sky, colorful and dazzling.

Immediately following, waves of energy emanated from the battle, lasting for four or five minutes before subsiding.

When everything returned to calm, an extremely strong stench of blood immediately permeated the dark passage.

Those who entered first met a predictable fate.

tread!tread!tread!
Just as everyone was looking on in surprise, heavy footsteps came from inside the passage.

Before long, one after another, tall figures covered in blood emerged from the passage.

Each of these figures was over two meters tall, and they were devoid of any life force. Standing in front of the passage, they resembled ruthless killing machines!
"puppet?!"

"Twenty-seven puppets, all at the Dou Zong level!"

Someone in the crowd gasped in surprise.

In the current Dou Qi Continent, puppets are not entirely extinct, but very few remain.

Twenty-seven puppets at the Dou Zong level—this is a formidable force that cannot be ignored!

"Young Master, it's a Level Earth-rank Heavenly Demon Puppet!"

Beside Chen Xiao, Qing Lin's eyes also lit up.

To others, such a puppet is a troublesome thing to avoid, but for Zixiao Pavilion, if they can control it and take it back, and then ask Hei Qing to go to the Void Thunder Pool, wouldn't they gain another twenty-seven Dou Zun level combatants?

By then, the number of Dou Zun warriors in Zi Xiao Pavilion will have exceeded fifty. Just thinking about it makes Qing Lin unable to hide his excitement.

"Do it your way."

Seeing what Qinglin was thinking, Chen Xiao smiled slightly and nodded.

He wasn't surprised at all that there were Heavenly Demon Puppets in these ruins.

Many years ago, when he pre-purchased the Heavenly Demon Puppet, one of the follow-up tasks was to enter the Tianbei Ruins to obtain it.

Even in the False Heaven of the Far North, within the ruins of the Beast Realm, there are puppets.

In ancient times, this thing seemed to be a common item, a standard feature.
