Chapter 272 So-called Opportunity
I was careless.
On the desolate wilderness, a streak of blue light was flying rapidly toward the pagoda not far away.
This person was none other than Song Siyu, who had been teleported away.
She had witnessed the unusual events in the tower earlier, and the malice of that Spirit Puppet Myriad Transformations Box towards Zhang Lingyu was so obvious that she felt there would be a fierce battle on the ninth floor.
She had considered fighting the enemy together, but she never expected to be transferred out of the group.
This was originally a good thing. Under normal circumstances, she would be happy to have one less troublesome thing to do. But the situation is very different now. She and Zhang Lingyu have already signed the Netherworld Blood Pact and are in the same boat.
After entering the Spirit Puppet Palace, we will still need the other party's help.
Even though there are several geniuses in the Jade Light Pavilion who are no less talented than her, there is no guarantee that she can win a token in other small worlds within the chaotic ruins of the Spirit Puppet Sect.
At this point, Zhang Lingyu's role becomes very important.
"Damn that Spirit Puppet Transformation Box!"
Song Siyu cursed under her breath, not only about the incident itself, but also about the fear in her heart.
There was no other reason than that she had been teleported away without warning earlier, which had left her with some psychological trauma. If she were to be teleported away again in the Spirit Puppet Palace, not only would she miss out on any opportunities, but she was also afraid of being put in danger.
Thinking about this, my mind was in turmoil, and I didn't know whether this trip was a blessing or a curse.
Nearly half an hour later, she arrived at the pagoda. The array set up at the entrance was perfectly normal, which proved that no one else had entered except for her.
"So quiet, is it over already?"
The surroundings were unusually quiet. Just a short while ago, she had seen the tower shaking violently, indicating that the battle that had broken out was quite intense.
Song Siyu dared not delay for a moment and immediately transformed into a beam of light and ascended. Fortunately, she had already broken all the restrictions between the floors, which allowed her to proceed without any obstruction.
As soon as she stepped into the ninth floor, the horrific scene before her sent a chill down her spine.
Everything in sight was broken.
The stone chamber that should have been spacious and well-organized was now in a mess. The walls were covered with crisscrossing scratches, and the corpses of insects were piled up like mountains, covering almost half of the floor. Mixed in with them were also a large number of puppet fragments.
The stench of the insect corpses and the burnt smell of the puppets in the air made her instinctively cover her mouth and nose.
A figure covered in blood was kneeling on the ground, panting heavily.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang!"
Song Siyu quickly stepped forward to check and found that the other person's outer robe was completely torn, revealing a blood-stained armor underneath that was deeply sunken and full of cracks.
She had expected the other party to be badly injured, but to her surprise, Zhang Lingyu's body had almost no injuries, and even the blood on his body was from insect corpses.
"It must have been this protective armor that saved his life, but unfortunately it's already broken and unusable."
Without hesitation, she immediately took out a pill from her storage bag and handed it over, saying, "This is a pill bestowed by my master, called the Jade Ink Pill. It can quickly heal injuries in times of crisis. Please take it, fellow Daoist."
Song Siyu could tell that Zhang Lingyu was not in mortal danger, but his injuries and depleted magical power would not be able to recover in a short time.
They don't know when the passage to the Spirit Puppet Palace will open, but they don't expect it to be too long, and they can't afford to waste too much time.
For the sake of this ally, she decided to use the pills that Master Bai Yan had given her.
"Fellow Daoist Song, this was taught to you by the True Man. How can you use it on me? Please take it back."
Zhang Lingyu was taken aback for a moment, then immediately refused, thinking, "Explore the genres of Xianxia novels; there's bound to be one that suits you." Unexpectedly, the woman remained silent, her attitude extremely firm, and she actually used her magic to forcefully shove the pill into her mouth.
As the pill entered my mouth, a warm current filled my meridians, and my previously depleted magical power immediately surged forth, its effect no less than that of a drop of Earth Essence Milk.
His complexion visibly regained its color, and the pain in his body gradually lessened. He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, fellow Daoist. I will definitely compensate you afterwards."
"Let's talk about compensation later at the Spirit Puppet Palace."
Song Siyu waved her hand, her expression suddenly turning serious, and asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, what exactly happened?"
"Alas, just as I guessed, I was too greedy, taking whatever I saw, which displeased that senior, so he taught me a lesson."
Zhang Lingyu smiled wryly:
"That senior personally controlled three Foundation Establishment Peak puppets. Fortunately, I have some tricks up my sleeve, which is how I escaped unscathed."
The situation was extremely critical at the time. He seized the opportunity and used the Burning Yuan Heart Light and the Azure Lotus Sword Formation in succession. His magic power had already been completely drained, but fortunately he successfully defeated two of them.
The remaining one was exceptionally ferocious. If it weren't for the swarm of bees and the puppet holding out for a moment, it would have been difficult to find an opportunity to finish it off. However, at the last moment, the puppet suddenly exerted its strength and punched itself.
In the end, it was only thanks to the Blood Demon's powerful body that he was able to withstand the impact and avoid losing half his life.
"Three Foundation Establishment Peak Puppet Masters, a little lesson learned?"
The woman was somewhat taken aback. In the eyes of a Golden Core cultivator, this was indeed a minor lesson, but if it were her, and she were to shatter those three puppets under the personal control of that senior, she would be half-dead if not dead.
Judging from Zhang Lingyu's condition, he didn't use any secret techniques; he won by sheer hard work.
"I underestimated him; this Jadeite Pill is worth it."
However, it was indeed a lesson learned; otherwise, it would have been easier to bring down Zhang Lingyu than to crush an ant.
She continued, "I wonder if Yuko got the pass token?"
"I got it, but..."
Zhang Lingyu showed the token in his hand and said:
"There were two on the ninth floor. I only got one. The other one flew away on its own. I heard from that senior that there are only two of us here, and we can't get three. So we gave the other one to someone else who is destined to have it."
"How utterly capricious!"
After listening, the woman smiled and shook her head. After all, this was someone else's territory, and it was none of her business what they did, as long as they didn't threaten her.
She was about to leave some space for the other person to heal when she was unexpectedly called back.
"Fellow Daoist Song, although I learned my lesson, that senior said something before he attacked. He said that if I successfully resisted, he would give me an opportunity." Zhang Lingyu thought for a moment and then told him this.
"Opportunity?"
The woman turned around abruptly, stared at Zhang Lingyu for a moment, and then slowly said, "This is a fortuitous opportunity for you, fellow Daoist. You're actually willing to share it; aren't you afraid I'll forcibly take it from you?"
"This opportunity isn't really a physical thing; it's more like knowing something in advance."
"In that case, please explain further, fellow Daoist."
Zhang Lingyu smiled and tossed out a jade slip: "A map of the Spirit Puppet Palace. This is the opportunity that senior gave me."
