Eternal madness

Chapter 168 You tell me, this is Hua Jin?
Xiao Li saw the two scrolls of Heavenly Rank! He couldn't believe his eyes, but he didn't panic. Then he looked at the other purple-gold puppet.

'So that's how it is. This Thousand Demon Saint is truly cunning, deliberately crafting two such powerful puppets. He's got multiple burrows, isn't he? In that case, I'll have to put on an act.'

"Uncle Jinyi, come here for a moment!" Xiao Li transmitted his voice to Tianyinzi.

Tianyinzi turned her head to look at Xiao Li.

"Uncle Jinyi, you will be competing with those powerful figures for the remains of the Dou Sheng later. You don't need to specifically fight for ownership of the Dou Sheng's remains. Use your Heavenly Realm Soul to examine the abnormalities in the bones of this Dou Sheng's remains."

I suspect this Thousand Demon Saint has etched his cultivation techniques and fighting skills into his bones. Please keep an eye on things; I'm going to deal with another puppet.

Xiao Li transmitted his thoughts to Tian Yinzi, who nodded and then joined the other powerful figures in attacking the Dou Sheng's remains.

Xiao Li fixed his gaze on the purple-gold puppet, but he felt that the other puppet was different. In other words, Xiao Li felt that the other puppet had looked at him many times.

"Is it an illusion? It shouldn't be! I trust my sixth sense. There's definitely something strange about that puppet. To put it in the worst-case scenario, that puppet is some kind of backup plan from the Thousand Demon Saint!"

"Then my puppets are no longer usable, put them away!" Xiao Li put away all his puppets, and then rushed to the battlefield of the purple-gold puppet with Yun Yun.

Xiao Li remained on high alert, his spiritual power at its peak, as he wanted to carefully examine what this puppet was hiding.

"As expected! Here we go again, this is not a puppet at all!" Xiao Li is now certain that there is something wrong with this puppet! Or perhaps the soul of the Thousand Demon Saint is hidden here.

"Damn it, we've been discovered!" The purple-gold puppet actually spoke in human language, and then fled into the distance. As the puppet fled, the attack speed of the Battle Saint skeleton also began to slow down.

"It ran away? Chase after it." Just as Xiao Li was about to give chase, he suddenly felt something warm in his arms. Then Xiao Li took out a spatial jade tablet from his arms.

This spatial jade mirror was personally crafted by Xiao Kong. If it is crushed, Xiao Kong will arrive immediately. If the distance is sufficient, Xiao Li can even use this jade mirror to communicate with Xiao Kong.

"Ancestor, what's wrong?" Xiao Li poured his soul power into the spatial jade mirror.

"I have taken control of this ruin. I have seen you all and a few treasures. What should we do now?" Xiao Kong's voice came.

"Oh? That's great! In that case, Ancestor, send us all out, so that everyone will think that someone triggered some kind of mechanism, causing everyone to be kicked out of the ruins."

Then you take all the good stuff from the ruins! Oh, and a few bastard old patriarchs helped me out, namely a few old ghosts, the three Scorpion Demons, and…”

Xiao Li told Xiao Kong about her plan, and then waited quietly.

"Why did the puppet run away by itself? That's strange." Wang Ming asked Xiao Li, puzzled.

"You'll find out soon, teacher. Get ready, we're going out," Xiao Li said, arms crossed.

"Um, Master Wang Li," a clear voice suddenly rang out. Xiao Li turned around and saw a woman dressed in a magnificent brocade robe. The robe was embroidered with patterns sewn with gold thread. The woman had an exceptionally beautiful face, and her bright red lips had a unique charm.

"Who are you?" Xiao Li didn't recognize the woman. His only impression of her was that she had participated in the killing of the Soul Hall Elder and obtained an eighth-grade pill. Because she was a female Dou Zun, Xiao Li had some recollection of her.

"Oh, Master Wang Li, I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Hua Jin, the current acting sect leader of the Flower Sect," the woman in the brocade robe introduced herself.

"Hua Jin? What do you want?" Xiao Li searched his mind carefully for the name Hua Jin, which seemed to belong to some foul-mouthed guy.

"This humble woman wishes to ask Master Wang Li to help her heal someone," Hua Jin said, bowing with her hands clasped together.

"Huh? Save someone? Save who?" Xiao Li asked, arms crossed.

"Save my foster mother, Hua Yu, the sect leader of the Flower Sect!" Hua Jin said, clasping his hands in greeting.

Xiao Li was puzzled: "What? I remember you hated Granny Hua to death. You're a woman who can sit at the same table as Han Feng, how come you've changed your gender here?" "Hua Yu? The sect leader of the Hua Sect, a peak Dou Zun expert. There are probably only a few people in this Central Continent who could hurt her, right? And why didn't you go to the Pill Tower to find someone to treat you, instead of coming to me?"

Xiao Li inquired, feeling that there was something fishy about Hua Jin, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Normally, one could tell from a person's appearance if they had a bad personality.

But this Hua Jin looks quite normal; he doesn't have a sharp or mean expression at all.

“Hua Jin, look me in the eyes,” Xiao Li suddenly said.

Hua Jin was also taken aback, then blushed, but still did as she was told, looking into Xiao Li's eyes with a rosy complexion.

"Tell me, is saving Sect Master Hua Yu your primary objective, or do you have other motives?" Xiao Li said coldly.

As the saying goes, the eyes are the windows to the mind. Hua Jin is probably not very old, about the same age as the Pei sisters. Her current cultivation level is only two-star Dou Zun, and her experience is not high. It is easy to read some information from her eyes.

Upon hearing this question, Hua Jin's heart suddenly pounded, and then her pupils contracted as she dared not look into Xiao Li's eyes.

Xiao Li snorted coldly, his hands behind his back: "As expected, you have other purposes. Speak up. I don't like beating around the bush. Just say what you have to say."

Hua Jin bit her lip lightly, and you could tell from her expression that she was conflicted. However, Xiao Li didn't notice that Hua Jin's ears were very red.

"Since Master Wang Li prefers straightforwardness, then I will speak frankly. I do have another purpose in treating the old woman! The old woman has raised me for so many years, but she has never given me a kind look. Is it because I have done something wrong?"
Was it because I didn't cultivate diligently enough? Was it because I wasn't filial enough? To this day, I have never heard the old woman utter a single word of praise! But I still want to thank her; if it weren't for her, I would have starved to death on the roadside long ago.

A few years ago, the old woman fought a fierce battle with a mortal enemy, which resulted in serious injuries, damage to her vital essence, and the breaking of both her legs. She also grew old day by day!

Is this still the same Fairy Hua Yu who roamed the continent? I haven't seen her much since the old woman was injured. What does she mean? Does she distrust me that much?
Therefore, I implore Master Wang Li to help me heal the old woman. I want her to know that she didn't misjudge me! I will always be her pride!

Hua Jin said emotionally.

Xiao Li was completely stunned. This was Hua Jin? It didn't seem like it. Had she been possessed?

What Xiao Li didn't know was that Hua Jin had only just taken over as the acting sect leader of the Hua Sect. She had just taken office and everything revolved around the Hua Sect. Power had not yet corrupted her heart.

Given time, she will be corrupted by power, becoming a callous woman who only cares about personal gain. Or perhaps Hua Jin has other plans, wanting to present a unique version of herself to Xiao Li.

"Alright, I can go take a look, but can your Flower Sect afford to hire me?" Xiao Li waved his hand and said.

Hua Jin immediately beamed with joy, then looked at Xiao Li with a blush on her face: "Although my Hua Sect is not as good as the Pill Tower or the Soul Palace, it is still a force to be reckoned with. The Hua Sect has been passed down for many years and still has some good things."

Master Wang Li, please rest assured. If you need anything, I will do my best to help you.

As Hua Jin spoke, her face flushed slightly, but a hint of hope and desire appeared in her eyes.

Xiao Li thought it was normal at first, but then he felt something was wrong. "Oh, Hua Jin, what's going on? You woman are lusting after me!" he thought. "Ha!"
At this moment, Yun Yun, who was standing behind Xiao Li, drew her sword Yuan Hong slightly and looked at Hua Jin with an unfriendly expression.

Yun Yun didn't know why, even though it was the first time she had seen Hua Jin, Hua Jin made Yun Yun feel very uncomfortable from head to toe, and she had an urge to cut her in half.

Just as Xiao Li was chatting with Hua Jin, the entire ruins suddenly trembled violently. Subsequently, all the powerful figures in the ruins were teleported out and eventually gathered in an open area of ​​the Demon Forest Mountains.

"what happened!"

"Why are you out here!"
