Chapter 67 Fantasy Palace
As it turned out, Gao Hong's premonition was correct.
Huan Xue'er suddenly turned her head slightly, a strange smile curving her lips.
With a flick of his finger, Song Feiyu, who was standing beside him, caused the five array flags that had surrounded the puppet to suddenly disappear and then silently reappear around Gao Hong.
The Five Elements Spirit Locking Array was activated instantly, imprisoning the old man within it!
At the same time, two scarlet beams of blood-red light flew out from his sleeves and shot towards Wu Yifeng and Zhang Lingyu.
Zhang Lingyu had long been on guard against this person, and seeing the other party launch an attack in an instant, he immediately took to the air.
"clang!"
The bronze bell appeared at the critical moment, its resounding chime deflecting the blood.
However, Wu Yifeng was not so lucky. Everything happened so fast that he didn't even have time to react before being killed by a beam of blood piercing his head.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang is quite capable."
Huan Xue'er chuckled softly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, but all of this was within her expectations.
When she entered the cave, she noticed Zhang Lingyu's subtle gaze directed at her.
She prided herself on her flawless disguise, but she was still discovered. As for why she wasn't exposed, that remains a mystery.
They probably share the same thoughts as me.
"Huan Xue'er of the Thousand Illusions Demon Palace greets Fellow Daoist Zhang."
Before the other party could ask any questions, the woman revealed her identity. She gently touched her cheek with her jade-like hand, and a human skin mask fell like a leaf, revealing a face that could be described as stunningly beautiful.
"Thousand Fantasy Demon Palace..."
Zhang Lingyu frowned. This was the first time he had ever heard of this sect. Just from the name, he knew it was a demonic sect.
Having cultivated the "Penetrating Void Spirit Eye Technique," he knew that Huan Xue'er was disguising her appearance and cultivation level. Now, her strength at the ninth level of Qi Refining was being released without any concealment, which slightly moved him.
"It's the Thousand Illusions Demon Palace! What...what are you doing in Zhao Kingdom?!"
The Five Elements Spirit Locking Array can indeed isolate spiritual energy from the outside, but it cannot isolate sound. Gao Hong, who was in the array, broke out in a cold sweat and his legs trembled uncontrollably when he heard this name. He collapsed to the ground.
The next second, as if remembering something, he shouted:
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, the Thousand Illusions Demon Palace is a Nascent Soul sect of the Chu Kingdom, specializing in illusions and bewitching arts, capable of captivating and bewitching people. Be extremely careful!"
Now he can only hope that the other party can kill Huan Xue'er, so that he can save his own life.
"The old man knows quite a lot."
Huan Xue'er giggled after hearing this, and instead of stopping the other person from continuing, she added:
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, today I will show you my sect's signature technique, the Thousand Illusions Bewitching Mind Technique."
"But before that, it would be better if this old man surnamed Gao died first."
A hint of disgust flashed across her face. Although the old man had concealed his murderous intent towards her well, it couldn't be hidden from her. To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, it was better to eliminate him first.
She then waved her hand, and the blood-red light shot out again. Gao Hong didn't have much magic power to begin with, and now he was trapped in the Five Elements Locking Spirit Array, so he had no time to defend himself.
He instinctively tried to call for help, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a bloody light pierced through it, leaving him in a pool of blood.
Seeing that he was now alone, Zhang Lingyu remained silent for a while, then looked at Song Feiyu beside Huan Xue'er and couldn't help but ask:
"Is this Fellow Daoist Song also from your Thousand Illusions Demon Palace?"
"she?"
Huan Xue'er shook her head and smiled:
"It's just a human puppet that I control from head to toe. Although it has its own consciousness, it will unconditionally obey my will."
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, why don't you become my puppet? As long as you don't resist, I guarantee you'll retain your independent consciousness."
To be honest, Zhang Lingyu's strength is second only to hers among them. If they could be recruited, their strength would definitely increase significantly.
"Fellow Daoist, I apologize for refusing, but you should worry about yourself for now!"
Zhang Lingyu sneered. A flash of sword light appeared, and the vines wrapped around the puppet instantly shattered into pieces. The next second, the spirit stone reappeared in the puppet's chest.
With the support of spirit stones, this puppet at the peak of Qi Refining rose from the ground once again.
Unlike before, it now has a suitable owner.
"Go, destroy the battle flags first."
Zhang Lingyu and the puppet alone were not enough to deal with the two, so with a wave of his hand, two Blazing Nether Spiders flew out of the Spirit Beast Bag, along with many ghosts in the Soul Refining Banner.
The Five Elements Spirit Locking Array is a troublesome thing that must be dealt with first, and of course, Song Feiyu is also a target.
As for Huan Xue'er, he will deal with her personally.
"Hmm, quite a few tricks up their sleeve... This is a little tricky."
Huan Xue'er's smile had vanished, replaced by a murderous intent. Since the other party was unwilling to become a puppet to be manipulated, turning them into a zombie puppet after death was a good option. She then gave the order to Song Feiyu:
"Quickly deal with those two demonic beasts and that puppet."
Even so, she was still a little worried, so she gave the other person a few more talismans for self-defense.
"call out!"
Just after she finished doing all this, two beams of blood-red light flew towards her face. Huan Xue'er waved her sleeve to block them, and upon closer inspection, she realized they were needle-shaped magical artifacts. She sneered:
"I never expected that Fellow Daoist Zhang would also use our demonic artifacts."
"What do you mean by demonic or not? Anything that can kill people is a good magical weapon."
Zhang Lingyu had no time to pay attention to her. Seeing that the sneak attack had failed, he turned to use [Junhong] to slash down from a distance, while throwing out two first-grade top-quality talismans to interfere.
"Thousand Umbrellas".
Huan Xue'er was no ordinary person either. A red umbrella flew out from her sleeve and blocked a series of attacks as soon as it was unfolded. However, because the sword contained a strong Gengjin sword aura, the magic weapon trembled slightly.
She didn't pay much attention, quickly forming hand seals. Her movements didn't seem particularly imposing, but a faint red mist suddenly rose throughout the cave.
To others, the woman's figure appeared as dozens of separate figures, constantly weaving through the mist and rapidly approaching Zhang Lingyu.
"What amazing illusion magic!"
Zhang Lingyu gave a thumbs up, but when Gao Hong called out the name of the Thousand Illusion Demon Palace, he understood the sect's cultivation methods. He had already placed two calming talismans on his forehead and started circulating the "Penetrating Void Spirit Eye Technique".
With his spiritual eyes, he could see that the clones in front of him were almost all made of mist, while Huan Xue'er herself was hidden in the thick fog behind her, seemingly preparing some kind of spell.
He then opened his mouth and spat out a rain of fire, destroying the mist clones that tried to block his way, while he himself wielded his magic sword to slash fiercely at his true form.
"Such keen intuition, he must have practiced some kind of illusion-breaking magic."
Huan Xue'er was slightly surprised. Even cultivators of the same level might not be able to see through her spell, let alone find the location of her true body in such a short time.
Fortunately, the spell was ready, and the red umbrella once again blocked the magic sword. Then, the woman parted her lips slightly and smiled:
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, please come forward."
