I am a late bloomer in the world of immortality

"Hu Yao" transformed from a skull jade pendant is not only similar in body shape to Gong Shulan, but also has the same cultivation level as Gong Shulan, which is in the early stage of foundation building.

"Chen Tang, I heard that you want Sister Shu Lan to serve you?" After Hu Yao came to life, she was naked. She smiled sweetly, and the tender jade branches trembled, which made people dizzy and blood-thirsty.

Chen Tang's face was gloomy. He looked at Gong Shulan with a wary look on his face, "Is this the human puppet technique of the Ghost Puppet Sect?"

Although the Ghost Puppet Sect is not one of the five sects of the Demonic Way, it is still a major sect of the Demonic Way and is famous in the Da Cang Immortal Cultivation World.

The human puppet technique within its sect is an anomaly among puppets. It uses monks as materials and combines the secret techniques of ghosts to make puppets that are just like living people and cannot be distinguished from fake ones.

The "Hu Yao" at this moment was in line with his various characteristics of the people of the Ghost Puppet Sect.

"Puppetry?" Wei Tu, who was hiding next to the cliff, narrowed his eyes and looked at Gong Shulan with more murderous intent.

Hu Yao was an old acquaintance of his and had given him a lot of help when he was practicing Qi.

For example, Hu Yao informed him of Ying Bing's robbery and murder in advance, so that he could be on guard.

"You are well-informed." Hu Yao licked her lips, and under the control of Gong Shulan's consciousness, she fought towards Chen Tang.

While she was flying in the air, green fire gushed out from her body. Under the burning of this fire, the long black knife used by Chen Tang to fight the enemy whined several times in an instant, its spirituality dropped sharply, and it stagnated in the air. A lot.

Chen Tang was horrified when he saw this scene. He quickly threw several black balls from his sleeves and smashed them at Hu Yao.

This jet-black ball is the "Sky Thunder Son" he bought at a large price. It was made by a refiner who collected the sky thunder. Not only is it extremely powerful, it can also restrain the demonic monks.

It was these few thunder seeds that gave him the confidence to avoid running away immediately when he saw Ren Yifeng's tragic death.

After Tianleizi touched "Hu Yao"'s body, it suddenly exploded.

All of a sudden.

Fire filled the air and thunder and lightning flashed.

The green fire that appeared on the body of "Hu Yao" had attenuated a lot, and large scorch marks appeared on the white and tender skin.

Some of the wounds were even deep into the bones, looking extremely miserable.

"Gong Shulan, let me see how you can fight with me now." Chen Tang sneered, took out a magical sword again, and slashed at "Hu Yao".

It had only been a few years since Gong Shulan successfully built the foundation - he didn't believe that Gong Shulan had other means to counter him.

However--

next moment.

The changes in "Hu Yao" were far beyond Chen Tang's expectations.

I saw "Hu Yao" who was still scarred just now, her skin was as white as ever again, and green fire was gushing out from her body, as if she had not been hurt by Tianleizi at all.

When Chen Tang's magic sword came to chop, Hu Yao raised her hand and struck it casually, and the green fire burned the magic sword half to pieces.

"How is that possible?" Chen Tang couldn't sit still this time. He glanced at Hu Yao and Gong Shulan a few times, gritted his teeth and decided to run away, regardless of the Gong family's secret treasure.

No matter how good the treasure is, it cannot be worth the preciousness of his life.

However, just when Chen Tang started to escape, "Hu Yao" who was in mid-air, like a crossbow arrow, stepped forward and quickly chased after him.

The two of them are close in appearance——

Chen Tang's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly activated the second-level talisman that had been attached to his body for a long time.

But the shield formed by the second-order talisman was quickly burned and shattered by the green fire on "Hu Yao".

Bone spurs protruded from "Hu Yao"'s body and pierced into Chen Tang's body one by one.

After a few breaths, Chen Tang turned into a mummy and fell on the cliff.

"What should we do next?" Kou Hongying, who was hiding aside, sent a voice message to ask Wei Tu. She was not sure at this moment what Gong Shulan's condition was, whether it was good or bad.

After all, the two monks in the middle stage of foundation building were killed one by one by the puppets sent by Gong Shulan, and they were almost unable to stop them.

And she and Wei Tu were only monks in the early stages of foundation building. Facing Gong Shulan at this moment, they might not have a chance of winning.

If it doesn't work well, the entire army may be wiped out.

"Chen Tang's Tianleizi just now was not ineffective, but... Gong Shulan transferred the damage to himself..."

Wei Tu frowned.

With his "Fragrant Luo Bi", he could clearly smell Gong Shulan's strong blood energy hidden under her robe at this moment - these blood energy were caused by "Hu Yao" being seriously injured. After recovering from the injury, he suddenly appeared in Gong Shulan's presence. body.

In other words, it was not that Chen Tang's several thunder seeds failed to work, but that Gong Shulan used a secret method to transfer "Hu Yao's" injuries to her own body.

"What Uncle Wei means is that the current Gong Shulan is really at the end of a strong crossbow?"

Kou Hongying raised her eyebrows, gaining confidence to take action against Gong Shulan.

"We can't be sure." When Wei Tu heard this, he shook his head and said, "Her methods are too unpredictable. If she starts rashly, she may suffer the same fate as Ren Yifeng and Chen Tang."

"Gong Shulan is not an ordinary monk in the early stages of foundation building."

He said solemnly.

"Then give up?" Kou Hongying was surprised. She was tempted by the Gong family's secret treasure. It would be a pity to give up directly.

"No." Wei Tu shook his head and said, "We don't know whether Gong Shulan is at the end of his battle, so we have to wait for the opportunity to kill him with one blow."

He didn't think that Gong Shulan could maintain the status of "Hu Yao" at all times.

Although Gong Shulan's methods are powerful, his magic power will not increase out of thin air. Every time the puppet maintains a breath, its magic power will be reduced by one point.

"Hongying, go to Yuquan Shanfang City and see if you can rent a set of formations. You and I can use the power of the formations to trap and kill Gong Shulan."

Wei Tu makes the safest arrangements.

Although renting a set of formations is not cheap, it is not a waste of money if you don't take away a valuable treasure.

"Okay, Uncle Wei." Kou Hongying nodded and agreed, preparing to leave the cliff and secretly head to Yuquan Shanfang City.

But with Kou Hongying's move.

Gong Shulan's gaze immediately shifted to Wei Tu and Kou Hongying.

"Fairy Kou?" Gong Shulan could tell Kou Hongying's aura, her cold eyes flashed slightly, and she chuckled: "Why did the dignified Jingshui Pavilion Foundation Establishment Master engage in such things as sneaking around? This is unbecoming of the sect. In the name of it.”

Seeing that her traces had been exposed, Kou Hongying simply stopped hiding. She revealed herself, waved her sect token to Gong Shulan and said, "Fellow Taoist Gong, please don't make the mistake of thinking of attacking me. Otherwise... I will send True Monarch Jin Dan over, and even if my fellow Taoists have this man to help me, I am afraid they will not be able to escape."

See this sect token.

A look of fear immediately appeared on Gong Shulan's face, and she brought the "Hu Yao" puppet who was about to attack Kou Hongying to her side.

Then she frowned and said: "Fairy Kou has been eavesdropping for so long, but she still hasn't crushed the token... It's probably not because she wants to eliminate demons, but because she has other plans for my Gong family's secret treasure... …”

"It's just that as Fairy Kou has seen, I really don't have any secret treasures from the Gong family on my body. There are some... only this human puppet..."

"How about Fairy Kou letting me go once? I will definitely repay Fairy Kou in the future."

The distress tokens of the three major immortal sects cannot be easily crushed until the critical moment.

However, it would be different if it was to eradicate "devil monks" like her.

By crushing the token and attracting immortal masters to eradicate the demonic cultivators, Kou Hongying will not only not be punished, but will also be rewarded.

therefore.

Gong Shulan's attitude toward Kou Hongying, a monk in the early stages of foundation building, was not only not tough, but also somewhat begging for mercy.

"There is no need to repay in the future!" Kou Hongying refused directly. She glanced at the storage bags tied to the two mummies, laughed and said: "The storage bags of Ren Yifeng and Chen Tang should contain a lot. I also hope that fellow Taoist monks can part ways with me."

Since it is too difficult to obtain the "Gong Family Secret Treasure" from Gong Shulan, then it is feasible to settle for the next best thing and obtain the storage bags of Ren Yifeng and the others.

The treasures of the two mid-stage foundation-building monks were enough to make her a fortune.

"Fairy Kou is too greedy!"

When Gong Shulan heard this, her face turned cold immediately, and she controlled "Hu Yao" and prepared to attack Kou Hongying.

This time, she paid a heavy price for killing Ren Yifeng and the other two.

If she gave up these two storage bags, not only would there be no reward for her in this battle, but she would also lose a lot of her heritage.

certainly.

Gong Shulan is controlling "Hu Yao" at this moment, not because she really wants to attack Kou Hongying. Near Yuquan Shanfang City, she was not so bold.

She just threatened Kou Hongying and asked him to stop as soon as he got good, and not to go too far.

Give up a storage bag——

Gong Shulan could barely accept it.

"Fellow Taoist Palace, what if Wei is included?" At this time, Wei Tu's indifferent voice came from near the cliff.

"Wei Tu?" Gong Shulan's face changed slightly as she looked at the young male cultivator who suddenly appeared in front of her.

A second-level talisman master.

A fairy gate builds its foundation.

Although the combined power of these two people is not as good as that of Ren Yifeng and Ren Yifeng just now, the threat to her is actually greater than that of Ren Yifeng and Ren Yifeng.

After all, she is not in her prime now.

And her methods were clearly seen by Wei Tu and Kou Hongying who were hiding aside just now.

"Fellow Taoist Palace?"

"Or... Fellow Daoist Hu?"

Wei Tu revealed his true form. He looked at Gong Shulan in front of him and frowned slightly.

Although he didn't know much about the human puppet technique of the Ghost Puppet Sect, judging from Chen Tang's reaction, he obviously didn't know that Gong Shulan could deflect the damage suffered by "Hu Yao".

A leopard can be seen in the tube.

He guessed that the human puppet technique used by Gong Shulan was either better than the human puppet technique commonly seen in the outside world, or... there was another reason.

But it happened that Gong Shulan's puppet was Hu Yao's mortal enemy, which had to make him doubt the true relationship between "Hu Yao" and "Gong Shulan".

With Hu Yao's caution, he would not leave Danqiu Mountain easily, let alone let Gong Shulan, his "dead enemy", get his hands on him and be turned into a human puppet.

therefore.

Wei Tu had a bold guess - Hu Yao was Gong Shulan, and Gong Shulan was Hu Yao.

When Gong Shulan was fighting just now, his aloof attitude was very similar to the attitude of Hu Yao he saw practicing in the shanty area.

It's just a guess.

He wasn't sure.

"Fellow Daoist Wei has a sharp eye and figured out my identity." Gong Shulan smiled, and her voice changed to "Hu Yao" at this moment.

"To be honest with fellow Taoist Wei, I am the body of a ghost, one soul and two bodies. Hu Yao has been my backup body from the beginning."

Seeing Wei Tu, Gong Shulan seemed to have found someone to talk to. She sighed softly and told all about her experiences in Danqiu Mountain.

"More than two hundred years ago, my grandfather, the foundation-building master of the Gong family, obtained the "Vampire Ghost Jade". His potential was exhausted, and he suddenly succeeded in foundation-building, which shocked Danqiu Mountain..."

Following Gong Shulan's narration.

Only then did Wei Tu know that the skull jade pendant that Gong Shulan had spit out just now was indeed the ancestral secret treasure of the Gong family. However, this "vampire jade" secret treasure was also a big killer weapon.

The function of "Vampire Ghost Jade" is not only to condense a "human puppet", but also to use this human puppet to absorb blood and essence to improve qualifications and increase potential.

"However, if it is not a ghost body, other people will use this blood ghost jade to improve their qualifications, which will often consume their life span."

"My grandfather and my father both died early because of the vampire jade."

Gong Shulan smiled sadly.

This sentence means what it says.

Wei Tu understood.

Gong Shulan recounted the past and kindly told him and Kou Hongying about the role of the vampire jade, so that they could stop coveting the "vampire jade".

——The vampire jade, a secret treasure of the devil's path, is not suitable for him and Kou Hongying.

certainly.

Wei Tu did not believe Gong Shulan's words easily, even if it was about Hu Yao, he was only half-doubtful and did not really believe it.

After Kou Hongying, he revealed his true identity and revealed that "Gong Shulan" was the "Hu Yao" he had worked with before, just to maximize the interests of the two of them.

——After Kou Hongying was discovered, the plan he made to besiege Gong Shulan with formations was immediately scrapped.

In terms of time, there was no time to go to Yuquan Shanfang City and rent a set of formations.

If Kou Hongying is not discovered, he can secretly track Gong Shulan and wait for Kou Hongying to rent the formation and come to support.

…

On the cliff.

Wei Tu and Kou Hongying confronted Gong Shulan and Hu Yao from a distance.

"Fellow Daoist Palace's past is tragic, and Wei is moved, but these two storage bags... Fairy Kou and I will not let them go easily."

Wei Tu spoke up, stopping Gong Shulan from continuing to act miserably. There was a bit of coldness on his face.

When Gong Shulan heard this, her words were stagnant.

She frowned, glanced at Wei Tu a few times, and nodded, "Now that Fellow Daoist Wei and Fairy Kou have joined forces, and with the sect token as protection, I am indeed at a disadvantage. These two storage bags can be given to Fellow Daoist Wei, Fairy Kou..."

"However, I am willing to exchange other treasures for a storage bag. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Wei is willing?"

She said slowly.

She could tell that Wei Tu was the one in charge.

"This..." Wei Tu looked moved, as if he was thinking about whether he should exchange storage bags with Gong Shulan.

"Leave a thin line in your behavior so that we can meet again in the future."

Gong Shulan smiled slightly, "Fellow Daoist Wei has a stable character. If he is sure of dealing with me this time, he will not easily come forward to confront me and ask for the storage bag."

"Instead, he directly killed me."

She revealed Wei Tu's thoughts.

"Can."

Wei Tu nodded and agreed to Gong Shulan's request.

He and Kou Hongying were not sure of completely killing Gong Shulan, so it was indeed inappropriate to force Gong Shulan into a desperate situation without giving her a "way to survive."

"This is the human puppet method of the Ghost Puppet Sect, inherited by second-level puppets."

Gong Shulan turned her palm, took out a black jade slip, and used her magic power to deliver it to Wei Tu.

but--

Wei Tu did not take the black jade slip. He called the Cracking Kong Diao and asked the Cracking Diao to grab the jade slip and check the contents inside.

He remembered the miserable situation when Ren Yifeng took over the vampire jade just now.

Although the cracked sky eagle has limited spiritual consciousness and cannot see all the contents in the black jade slip, only a corner of the information is enough for Wei Tu to confirm that the inheritance of this jade slip is true.

"The second-level puppet inheritance is valuable, but Wei doesn't have time to practice."

After Wei Tu confirmed the information on the jade slip, he raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Gong Shulan again.

"This is the demonic bone of a third-level demonic beast. It can be used to make human puppets, so I gave it to Fellow Daoist Wei. After all, Fellow Daoist Wei was also very helpful to me when I was in Danqiu Mountain."

Gong Shulan raised her hand and sent another step of yellowish long bones that exuded a faint pressure into the air.

He did not show any resistance to Wei Tu's "taking advantage of the situation".

See this.

Wei Tu nodded as if he agreed.

Next, Wei Tu ordered the Sky-Splitting Eagle to take Chen Tang's storage bag and watched Gong Shulan flee far away.

Wait for Gong Shulan to leave some distance.

Wei Tu looked at Kou Hongying.

Kou Hongying understood immediately and crushed the sect token in her hand.

To cut the weeds, we need to get rid of the roots!

Wei Tu didn't know if Gong Shulan was Hu Yao. Even if it was Hu Yao, Wei Tu would not let Hu Yao leave at this moment.

——If Hu Yao is true, his temperament as a demonic monk would probably be used to his advantage.

Ying Ping and Zhuo Yan chase him.

Geng Wen became enemies with him.

This and other things.

Maybe it's all related to Hu Yao.

After a few breaths.

In the direction of Yuquan Shanfang City, a light blue escaping light suddenly rose. This escaping light was far beyond the foundation-building monks. Like a rainbow, it rushed towards the cliff where Wei and Tu were.

The light stopped, revealing a beautiful Xiu with a phoenix hairpin in her hair and slanted eyebrows at her temples.

"Uncle Gong." When Kou Hongying saw this beautiful female cultivator, she immediately bowed and said goodbye.

Gong Zhenjun glanced at Kou Hongying, stayed on Wei Tu for a moment, and then asked: "Hongying, why did you crush the sect token?"

She noticed that a sect token had been crushed nearby, and mistakenly thought that a disciple was in danger. She rushed over, but found that Kou Hongying was not in danger, but everything was safe.

"Just now, the disciple discovered a suspected member of the Ghost Puppet Sect who brutally killed two foundation-building casual cultivators in Danqiu Mountain..."

Kou Hongying's words are concise and to the point.

As soon as the words fell, Gong Zhenjun immediately chased in the direction of Gong Shulan.

The devil is the mortal enemy of Zheng Guo’s immortal world.

Even if Gong Shulan did not kill Ren Yifeng and the other two, Gong Zhenjun would not let go easily when he met Gong Shulan.

Chase down the demon cultivator.

Rogue cultivators won't care too much.

But this is the responsibility of the three immortal monks.

Wei Tu and Kou Hongying watched Gong Zhenjun leave and waited for the news.

Half a day passed.

When Gong Zhenjun returned, she held a dead female cultivator in her hand. She shook her head and said: "This female cultivator is just a human puppet of the Ghost Puppet Sect... She used a human puppet to spread suspicion and deceived you two..."

"When I traced it, its aura had already penetrated deep into the Demonic Wolf Mountains..."

"Whether he is dead or alive, we don't know yet."

"I guess she wants to cross the Demonic Wolf Mountains and go to the Five Demonic Sects."

"I have memorized her aura. If I escape from the Demonic Wolf Mountains, I will not be able to escape the pursuit of the three major immortal sects."

Seeing Kou Hongying's uneasy expression, Gong Zhenjun smiled gently and comforted her.

The ability to handle the three major immortal sects.

Wei Tu still believed it.

For so many years, the five demonic sects have not invaded from the Demonic Wolf Mountains. In addition to the Demonic Wolf Mountains being a dangerous place, the three major immortal sects have also set up barriers to intercept them.

It is by no means an easy task for Gong Shulan to return to Zheng from the Demon Wolf Mountain Range.

Secondly, going deep into the Monster Wolf Mountain Range is inherently dangerous, and even Gong Zhenjun did not dare to go too deep - Gong Shulan was just trying to survive, and the chance of survival was not high.
