My construction materials are weird

"Because of what? Stop dawdling and explain clearly."

Old Sun said, feigning anger.

"Really going to say it?"

"Yes, say it. I'm very curious," Old Sun said.

Little Chen glanced at Old Sun and said, "Because I saw hope, the light of hope, you know? It was the figure of the master descending from the sky."

"I understand that, but what does that have to do with calling me 'Uncle'?" Old Sun asked.

"Ahem, because you're valuable now!" Little Chen said, blushing.

"Explain yourself!"

Little Chen: "It's nothing much. Before, I felt that neither you nor I had any hope. We were trapped in this cage-like Jiu'an, destined to die here... But, the master has come, a true cultivator has come! I see hope, and I must seize it."

"...Before, calling you casually was because the environment was already dim, so why make ourselves more restrained... But now it's different. I want to live, I want to go out and see the world. I'm qualified to think that way now."

"...So, I want to butter you up a bit. Although your life has been quite a failure, you've lived many more years than me after all, and you still have some friends outside. Having friends outside means having another way out, right? Is it okay for me to call you 'Uncle'?"

Old Sun: ...???

"You little bastard, so that's what you were thinking! No wonder you called me 'Uncle'! Bah!"

Old Sun was furious, but at the same time, his face was filled with an indescribable smile.

"Suck up to me, will you? I really do have some connections. Calling me 'Uncle' won't be a loss for you, haha..." Old Sun laughed happily.

It had been a long time since he had felt so carefree, so full of hope for the future.

"Yes, yes, yes! You have friends all over the world, Old Sun. This little one is counting on following you to enjoy the good life. I'll definitely flatter you enough to make you feel comfortable," Little Chen said with a smile.

At this moment, both of them were filled with hope for the future.

They returned to the battlefield, joking and scolding.

"However, don't think too highly of me, kid. Although I know some friends, many have died over the years. Even if they're still alive, they're not doing very well. At most, they know a little more than we do."

"Old Uncle, that's enough. We two old-timers have been out of touch with the real world for a bit too long, a bit disconnected. It would be great to have someone who can sincerely introduce us to the current world... We're not expecting your friends to be doing very well. If they were doing very well, they would have come to help us long ago. Since they haven't come, doesn't that mean they're just so-so? We understand."

"Well, it's good that you understand... However, I think the biggest opportunity is on the battlefield. If we perform well, we might rise to prominence."

"Buddhism, one of the four super powers under the Xuan Master Sect, I know. These eminent monks and masters must be Buddhist experts under the Xuan Master Sect. I understand."

"I heard that true cultivators are powerful and have many methods. I didn't believe it before, but now I do. Good heavens, one descent wiped out the entire demon army. It's truly an enviable ability."

"Yes, indeed!"

"..."

The two exchanged thoughts and sighed.

For these two 'uncles' and 'nephews', the appearance of Monk Yiye had truly shocked them.

When the two cautiously returned to the battlefield, they were even more stunned. A giant like a 'Law, Heaven, and Earth' manifestation was manipulating a vine and confronting a strange entity.

The powerful aura spread out, making people feel frightened even from a distance.

When the two ran away, they also disbanded the remaining human race army. They weren't irresponsible enough to only care about running away themselves.

So after returning, there were very few of the remaining army here.

Only a few bold ones remained, not leaving, watching Yiye and his four fellow disciples fighting the bone hand with great excitement.

The return of the two didn't even wake anyone up.

The two of them didn't disturb them either, and also excitedly joined the crowd to watch.

At the same time, they breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, the strange phenomenon was broken, and the bone hand was entangled, so it wouldn't come looking for trouble with the two of them.

"What a strong ability, is this a true cultivator?"

"Not necessarily, even true cultivators shouldn't be this outrageous. This must be a strong one among true cultivators, otherwise it doesn't make sense," Old Sun said.

The two were just inexperienced, not stupid, and could still distinguish strength.

Especially as spirit masters, if they didn't know the abilities of true cultivators, they would still understand the strength of strange entities.

It was obvious that this strange entity was a second-order existence, while the masters on the opposite side were first-order existences.

Fighting a second-order entity with first-order power was only possible because the five had used all their means.

Fighting above one's level didn't mean they could fight far above their level. The bone hand was only at the early stage of the second-order, which was the basis for the five to be able to cope.

If it was raised a little further, such as the mid-stage of the second-order, it would no longer be something the five could handle.

"It must be an expert!" Old Sun repeated, firming his guess.

"Yeah!" Little Chen also nodded in agreement.

And on the battlefield.

Yishui, who was knowledgeable, had a new discovery.

"Senior brothers and junior brothers, do you remember the Strange Alley?"

His sudden question made the remaining four fall into contemplation.

"Yishui, what do you mean?" Yiye asked.

"Senior brother, because the Strange Alley is very famous and has a big background, it once confronted the Xuan Master. Although it disappeared later, I still carefully read the information. It is rumored that the Strange Alley is a combination-type strange entity, which is very rare. It has both the Strange Alley as the main body and a huge white bone hand as a hidden means..."

Yishui described it to the four senior and junior brothers.

"Senior brothers and junior brothers, look, the abilities of this bone hand overlap with the abilities of the white bone hand of the Strange Alley in the records. It is impossible for there to be such identical abilities, right? And they are both white bone hands, except one is white and the other is yellowish?"

"That's true!"

Yiye and the others said after carefully observing.

"In that case, this is not the strongest ability of this strange entity?"

Yishui said: "It should be divided into two states. For example, in street fighting in the city, it is the Strange Alley, and in open places, it is another form of the strange hand. This strange entity is two-sided. The current state may be the first state, and there is also a second state, which is a stronger state of Strange Alley + Strange Hand."

Yishui guessed.

"This?" The four were shocked.

If Yishui's guess was correct, wouldn't that mean that this was not the strongest state of this strange entity?

A long time ago, this strange entity was above the late stage of the second-order. Although a finger bone was cut off by the Xuan Master, it became the White Bone Pagoda at that time.

But it should have recovered after so long, and maybe even taken a step further.

"Be careful!" Yiye ordered.

Although it was a guess, they didn't dare to be careless in this situation.

The reason they were able to cope now was because the five of them had used all their means, which made it possible to fight above their level.

Fighting above one's level did not mean they could fight far above their level. The bone hand was only at the early stage of the second-order, which was the basis for the five to be able to cope.

If it was raised again, such as the mid-stage of the second-order, it would not be something the five could cope with.

Even with the help of the formation and the Star-Devouring Vine, it was not enough.

The Returning Jade Talisman, which had been stored away, was once again carefully held in his hand.

Even after the five of them took turns as the main attacker, and two cycles had passed, the bone hand still maintained the same posture.

It was mindlessly consuming the Star-Devouring Vine.

Neither could do anything to the other, and breaking the stalemate required other means.

For example, Yi Ye took out a spiritual talisman refined from the leaves of the Jianmu tree.

The talisman had undergone many iterations, from the initial Jianmu leaves as the main material, to new materials invented by Taoist hermits and Confucian scholars.

But the most effective and powerful were still the leaves of the Jianmu tree.

Spiritual talismans made from Jianmu leaves were especially precious and powerful.

The one Yi Ye took out was this kind, this talisman was: the Ghost Suppression Talisman.

It was a kind of talisman specially researched by spiritual talisman masters, and also the first new talisman not recorded in the Xuanhuang "Talisman Dao Sutra."

Of course, it was researched and developed with reference to talismans such as the Spirit Suppression Talisman and the God Suppression Talisman in the "Talisman Dao Sutra".

It had the effect of temporarily blocking the ability of the eerie.

Eerie rules are rules, and formations and spiritual talismans are also studying the rules of heaven and earth, and then borrowing their power to use them.

The forms of expression are different, but the essence is the same.

This Ghost Suppression Talisman has such an ability.

Temporarily cutting off the eerie rules of the eerie allows cultivators to suppress and detain it.

Moreover, this talisman does not have a specific level division, it all depends on the ability of the talisman drawer and the material of the talisman.

It becomes stronger when encountering the strong, and weaker when encountering the weak.

However, when facing a powerful eerie, the stability is ultimately a bit lacking, and the image metaphor is like a booster or a spark plug.

"Attention!"

Yi Ye shouted loudly, the crucial moment had arrived.

The Ghost Suppression Talisman was used, taking advantage of the temporary failure of the eerie rules to quickly suppress this eerie.

After all, the time for taking turns as the main attacker was enough, and everyone had benefited a lot, and it was useless to persist any longer.

There was not a single mistake!

Not to mention that they couldn't hold on any longer.

After all, the eerie was not infinitely sustainable, and cultivators also needed to recover.

After another round of rotation, Yi Ye became the main attacker again. After becoming the main attacker this time, he did not hesitate and instantly launched the Ghost Suppression Talisman.

"Buzz!"

Great sound is silent, there was no deafening sound, only a buzzing that made people lose their hearing, spreading throughout the battlefield.

When the Ghost Suppression Talisman turned into a stream of light and entered the eerie of the bone hand, it was as if time and space were frozen.

The continuous eerie power of the bone hand eerie suddenly went out.

"Help me!"

Yi Ye shouted.

Upon receiving the order, the four junior brothers quickly pinched the magic formula, and the greatest assistance was concentrated on Yi Ye's huge divine body.

"Suppress!"

Yi Ye's big hand stretched out, forming a huge handprint spell, constantly pressing towards the silent bone hand.

Success or failure depends on this one action.

But!

Unexpectedly, an accident occurred.

The bone hand was moving towards their worst prediction, it was red-hot.

The second state appeared.

Only to see the earth rumbling, the earth that had been pierced by the great battle, those bottomless ravines quickly recovered.

Black and shiny walls began to appear.

Looking closely, it was not a city wall at all, but an excessively tall alley.

The entire alley was intricate and complex, as if it extended infinitely, forming a maze that trapped people.

The five brothers were surrounded in it.

"Not good!"

Although Yi Ye exclaimed that it was not good, he calmed down in his heart.

He was too experienced, he had encountered too many unexpected events, and he had already developed a calm state of mind.

The senior brothers who were not calm and panicked had already gone to reincarnation.

Including the Four Greats, people were always dying, and disciples were always sacrificed, which was normal.

"At least the late Second Order, or even Perfection!" Yi Ye quickly judged.

Various blessings and protections were fully activated, and the five of them were the same.

Otherwise, just the eerie fluctuations of the late Second Order eerie would be enough to kill them.

"We can only summon Lord Void Blade." Yi Ye quickly made a judgment.

The late Second Order far exceeded the ability of the five of them to cope. At this time, don't try to be brave, and survival is the most important thing.

They were trapped, and the uncle and nephew duo watching the excitement on the city head were also dumbfounded.

Their bodies began to become uncontrollably violent.

The boundary returned, and the eerie not wanting to see each other was about to erupt.

"It's bitter!"

Old Sun sighed dejectedly.

Was he still going to die? Could he really not get out of this Jiu'an City?

"Old Sun, I was wrong," Little Chen said.

Okay, it was changed to Old Sun again.

At the same time, he was very sad, it was he who encouraged Old Sun to come back, it was he who said to seize the opportunity.

Now it seems that this opportunity is not easy to seize, and the opportunity carries a huge crisis.

The crisis was quite deadly.

"Master, I'm going to die, I can't hold on for long!"

Little Chen didn't know whether it was the instinct to survive or giving up, and did not reply to Old Sun's words.

But he took a bit of a risk and issued a struggling cry for help to Yi Ye and others in the battlefield.

Whether it works or not, at least he tried.

"This benefactor, please rest assured."

Unexpectedly, Yi Ye and the monk actually replied to him.

He thought he was just a small character, just a cry for help for survival, and he never thought that he would be replied to by the master.

"Buddhist Yi Ye... Respectfully invite Lord Void Blade to descend!"

Yi Ye quickly summoned the Void Blade, Little Chen didn't want to die, and their brothers didn't want to either.

The cultivator's final trump card has arrived.

"Whirr! Rumble!"

An indescribable shocking scene, the sky that was originally obscured by the eerie alley, suddenly burst into light, and a giant hand like lightning tore the sky apart.

Space began to become illusory, and with a 'whirr' sound, a huge opening was torn open.

A long knife that looked like it covered the sky began to appear.

But.

This was not over yet, something happened that exceeded Yi Ye and others' expectations.

The Void Blade was summoned, but a huge gray passage also followed like a shadow.

This huge gray passage suddenly sent a huge suction force.

Yi Ye, who was ready to have his mana extracted by the Void Blade, had not felt anything yet, and the gray passage sucked the Void Blade in.

The Void Blade was gone?
