"I'll leave the human puppets here in your care for now."

"As for Ling Hanyan who escaped, don't worry about her. After tomorrow, all the puppets here will be able to complete their advancement. Even if Tianxuan Sect finds out, it will be too late."

"Deal with the two people trapped in that formation tonight. Tomorrow, you will lead these puppets to attack the rear of the Tianxuan Sect!"

After glancing at the puppets around him, Qin Haotian spoke to Yin Sha and the others.

“Young Master Qin, both of them are seventh-grade alchemists, and Yang Xiu is already showing signs of becoming an eighth-grade alchemist. If we could recruit them…” Yin Sha said in a somewhat hoarse voice.

"Recruiting won't be that easy. You make the decisions here yourself, just don't let it interfere with important business."

Qin Haotian showed no expression. After speaking, his figure became ethereal and disappeared into the Yin Wind Ravine, as if he had never been there.

Qin Xin, who was hiding to the side, was also slightly surprised after sensing the changes in the laws of heaven and earth around him when Qin Haotian left.

His understanding of the laws of heaven and earth has reached the stage of being able to use them at will, and it will probably not be long before he enters the Earth Profound Realm.

If Qin Xin were to face Qin Haotian head-on at this moment, even if he exerted all his strength, he probably wouldn't have much of a chance of winning.

For Qin Xin now, the most important thing is to thwart Qin Haotian's plan.

With so many puppets lurking behind the Tianxuan Sect, if they were to launch an attack during the battle at the front, the Tianxuan Sect would be attacked from both sides, and it is very likely that none of the sect's disciples would be able to escape.

"Young Master, why is our Ziwei Sect being controlled by Qin Haotian?"

"And sending us to attack the rear is clearly a way to make us cannon fodder."

After Qin Haotian left, Situ Kong, who had been kneeling below, stood up and spoke somewhat angrily.

Mo Ruan, standing beside him, nodded repeatedly.

"Shut up!"

Yin Sha's face showed some displeasure when she heard the two people discussing Qin Haotian.

“The Yunxi Domain is not safe now. The other domains have long been eyeing it covetously, wanting to divide up my Yunxi Domain.”

"The Ziwei Sect is not well-liked in the Yunxi Domain. It can only survive by attaching itself to the Xuantian Sword Sect."

"Moreover, Qin Haotian was born into the Qin clan of Tianque City. He not only possesses martial bones, but his talent is also the strongest in the entire Yunxi Domain in the past ten thousand years. It is likely that he will be able to enter the Earth Profound Realm soon."

As Yin Sha spoke, a look of envy crept into her eyes.

"Young Master, why is the Xuan Tian Sword Sect suddenly attacking the Tian Xuan Sect? Is it because of something else?"

Situ Kong seemed to understand something, but before he could speak, Yin Sha's gaze completely stunned him, causing him to swallow back the words he was about to utter.

"Alright, you two go out and keep watch. We're going to make our move tomorrow, so we absolutely cannot let anyone in here and ruin the plan."

Yin Sha waved her hand, signaling the two to step back.

Situ Kong and Mo Ruan didn't dare to say anything and left immediately.

After the two left, Yin Sha slowly sat down cross-legged. The patterns on her arms appeared and stirred up the surrounding yin wind, which was continuously injected into the bodies of those puppets.

Under the constant influx of this eerie wind, the skin of these human puppets gradually began to change, as if they were transforming from ordinary flesh and blood bodies into jade bodies.

"Huh? What is this? It can actually cause the Spirit Devouring Stone to tremble!"

Just as Qin Xin was trying to figure out how to deal with all the formations and puppets around him, he saw a gray bead condensing above Yin Sha's head, which looked very mysterious.

"Qin Xin, this is a good thing!"

Just as Qin Xin was pondering, Dan Qing's voice rose directly in Qin Xin's heart.

"This item is called the Soul Pearl, which is formed by a martial artist's spiritual power through special means."

"It seems that after killing these martial artists, this guy integrated all their spiritual power into this soul bead."

As Danqing spoke, he was also somewhat surprised by Yin Sha's ruthless methods.

"If I can obtain this Soul Bead and help me advance to the Spirit Pattern Realm, then even if I face Qin Haotian, I will have the means to escape."

Qin Xin thought to himself, his eyes fixed intently on the soul bead.

After checking the surroundings, Qin Xin quietly mobilized his Yuan energy, and the three-colored fire blades quickly fused together in his palm.

"go!"

The instant the fire blades merged, Qin Xin threw them out without any hesitation.

Yin Sha was somewhat surprised to sense a fluctuation coming from around her. She possessed the strength of the Yuan Dan Realm, but she never expected to be ambushed in the Yin Feng Ravine without her noticing.

Driven by instinctive fear, Yin Sha immediately wanted to retreat and hide.

But in that instant, the terrifying fire blade was already upon them.

"boom!"

The moment Yin Sha dodged, the fire blade slammed directly into the formation behind her, instantly creating a massive fireball that released a powerful shockwave.

"not good!"

Yin Sha realized she had been tricked; the fire blade's attack had been aimed at the formation behind her from the very beginning.

But it was too late to stop them; the power of the formation was rapidly weakening under the sweeping flames.

Moreover, Yang Xiu and Yun Li, who were inside the formation, seemed to have also sensed the changes in the outside world and began to desperately try to break through the formation.

"Soul Awakening! Suppression!"

Yin Sha roared angrily, and the soul pearls surrounding her emitted a dazzling gray light.

Just as she was about to look around to see who had suddenly attacked her.

A ghostly figure approached, knocking away several human puppets around it. After obtaining the Soul Pearl with a single palm strike, it immediately retreated.

"Hmph! You're asking for it!"

Seeing that the Soul Pearl had been taken away, Yin Sha showed no sign of nervousness.

She was well aware of the power contained within this Soul Pearl; even she could hardly withstand it. The person in front of her taking it away was simply creating a burden for himself.

Just as Yin Sha was about to make her move, her connection to the Soul Pearl suddenly disappeared.

"I've been scammed! Damn it!"

Yin Sha realized what was happening and tried to stop Qin Xin, but it was too late.

In the instant the shockwave from the exploding fire blades swept towards him, Qin Xin used the impact to unleash the Flowing Cloud Step and escape at top speed.

Yin Sha wanted to chase after Qin Xin, but she found that the puppets that had been protecting her had been swallowed up by the fireball and turned into a basin of charred ashes.

After Qin Xin took the Soul Pearl, he did not run away immediately. Instead, he hid in the fragmented map space the instant the shockwave from the fireball explosion hit.

In an instant, the mysterious fragment of the map disappeared into the surrounding pile of rubble, just like ordinary sand and gravel, without any trace of its presence.

"Damn it! Damn it! Who is it?!"

After the flames subsided, Yin Sha, her body charred black, flew into a rage, and Situ Kong rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

Upon seeing Yin Sha's condition, Situ Kong and Mo Ruan were astonished and quickly assessed the damage to the surrounding puppets.
