The paper man's movements were not fast, as if he was flying with the help of the wind. Chu Yang observed for a long time before he realized that it was not slow, but was trying to hide the "rustling" sound of its movement in the bleak cold wind.

"Really quite smart."

Chu Yang calmed down and carefully observed the movements of the paper man. He found that its behavior pattern was very similar to that of a human, and he had a secret guess in his heart.

About half a minute later, the paper man had floated to the corridor. Fortunately, because Chu Yang restrained his spiritual power fluctuations, the paper man did not find that there was someone ambushing above his head.

The paper man patrolled outside the door for a while, and after not finding anyone nearby, he bent down and drilled into the crack of the door.

Chu Yang did not make a move, but used his spiritual consciousness and eyesight to look outside the courtyard. If there were outsiders present, they would be able to see that he was looking forward to something.

In the close observation just now, Chu Yang had already noticed the strangeness of this paper man. It did not move on its own, but was controlled by someone using the means of controlling objects!

Chu Yang had not discovered the way the paper man operated before because he was a master at controlling spiritual power. He hid the spiritual power threads that controlled the paper man underground, making it difficult for people to detect the existence of spiritual power fluctuations, so that he could better hide his whereabouts.

Chu Yang calculated that his spiritual awareness range could only cover a distance of 20 meters, and the range of his fire eyes was roughly the same, just enough to take in the situation of the entire courtyard.

For a peak foundation-building cultivator, if it were not a freak like Chu Yang, the limit of the control of spiritual power threads by ordinary cultivators who had cultivated to the extreme would be about 30 meters. In other words, the mastermind behind the control of the paper man should be hiding ten meters outside the courtyard.

Chu Yang had observed before that the location of the retreat room was deep in the backyard, about 15 meters away from the gate that the paper man had just entered. In this case, if the paper man wanted to enter the retreat room and kill Wei Yongyuan, the mastermind behind it must enter the backyard five meters to achieve his goal.

Therefore, Chu Yang did not rush to take action, but let the paper man approach the retreat room.

In the next minute or so, the paper man quietly approached Wei Siqian. At this time, the position where he was meditating was just within the effective range of the enemy's control of the paper man. As long as the paper man moved a few meters forward, he could kill Wei Siqian in one fell swoop.

In order not to make any sound, the paper man's movements were extremely slow. Chu Yang also raised his breath to his chest, waiting for the moment when the paper man would take action.

Finally, half a minute later, the paper man had floated in front of Wei Siqian. Because there was no spiritual power fluctuation in its body, Wei Siqian was immersed in cultivation and did not notice that the paper man's right hand cut out of a thin piece of paper was approaching his neck.

Just when the paper man was about to take action, Chu Yang suddenly jumped down from the beam and shouted: "Don't even think about it, you bastard!"

After jumping off the beam, he did not chase the paper man, but turned around and accelerated to the direction where the paper man came from.

Chu Yang's shout was extremely loud, and the sound resounded throughout the ancestral home. Even the village guards were awakened and barked at this side.

When he shouted just now, the paper man was about to attack Wei Siqian. The enemy outside the courtyard must have been startled by the sound, and the paper man's action paused for a moment.

Because of this short moment, Wei Siqian, who was practicing, had come back to his senses. When he opened his eyes and saw a white paper man standing in front of him, he was immediately frightened and rolled back reflexively, pulling away from the paper man.

Chu Yang was not worried that the paper man would hurt Wei Siqian. After all, it was a dead object, and it was all controlled by the spiritual power of the person behind the scenes. It was not much of a threat. I think with Wei Siqian's cultivation, it would be easy to deal with it.

The direction Chu Yang rushed out was where the enemy was currently. According to Chu Yang's estimation, the other party should be hiding under the wall at this time. As long as the speed was fast enough, he would definitely catch up before he escaped.

After a few ups and downs, Chu Yang ran more than ten meters. Seeing the courtyard wall in front of him, he poured spiritual power into his legs, bent his knees and bounced up, and instantly flew over the courtyard wall.

When he flew to the middle of the air, Chu Yang had already drawn the Frost Sword in his hand and used his spiritual consciousness to scan downwards.

As expected, when his spiritual consciousness captured a black shadow outside the wall, he immediately felt the powerful spiritual power fluctuations coming from the other party.

"It's a master!"

Chu Yang was shocked. This person's cultivation was very powerful, even comparable to himself now!

With a turn of his body, Chu Yang landed gracefully and blocked the way of the black shadow.

At this time, he saw clearly that this person was dressed the same as him, also in black clothes. The only difference was that his face was covered by a scarf, revealing only a pair of sinister eyes.

Chu Yang held his sword in front of him and said coldly: "Just surrender, you can't escape today!"

However, the black-clothed man opposite him was indifferent, just looking Chu Yang up and down, without any intention of taking action.

Chu Yang frowned slightly. This guy was discovered, but he didn't want to escape quickly, and he had time to look at him. Is he confident?

Just as the two looked at each other, a fight came from the direction of the retreat room. Chu Yang glanced at it with his fiery eyes and found that Wei Siqian had taken off his coat and was trying to kill the paper man.

What surprised Chu Yang was that the paper man's movements became very flexible at this time, flying up and down in the air like a butterfly, looking for a gap to break out of the retreat room.

Neither the paper man nor Wei Siqian had the upper hand, and the situation was very tense for a while.

It was not until then that the two foundation-building masters stationed outside the courtyard heard Wei Siqian's shouts and realized that something was wrong with the retreat room. They hurriedly opened the door and ran inside.

Chu Yang suddenly realized that the man in black did not attack him because he was controlling the paper man and had no time to deal with him.

"You think I don't exist, right!"

Chu Yang was also a little angry. Compared with killing Wei Yongyuan, the man in black should have chosen to escape. The other party was not in a hurry to attack him. Obviously, he felt that he was a small threat and didn't take it seriously at all.

The other party wanted to do two things at the same time. This was a good opportunity to capture him alive. Chu Yang couldn't bear to disappoint the other party's kindness, so he drew his sword and slashed at the other party.

At this time, the man in black on the opposite side finally made a move. There were only a few rustling sounds on the ground, and four white shadows jumped up instantly, blocking Chu Yang's way.

"There are still more!"

Chu Yang couldn't help but be surprised. The man in black's ability to control the paper man was even stronger than he thought. He could actually split his attention and choose to fight on both sides!

The four paper figures blocked his way, obviously trying to delay time and find an opportunity for the paper figures in the retreat room to break through. If the other party's conspiracy succeeded, Wei Yongyuan would definitely die!

So Chu Yang didn't have time to think about it, he poured his spiritual power into the frost, and used all his strength to drive the sword light to kill the four paper figures!
