Master Zhao was stunned.
Was that a human paper he just received?
This paper puppet, also called the puppet paper, is clearly Master Lin's skill. How could Mingluo know how to use it?
In fact, Master Gu and Master Lin tacitly concealed Master Lin's defeat in the contest with Mingluo, so as not to be too embarrassing or lose face if it were to be told.
Therefore, Master Zhao only knew that Mingluo had unintentionally offended Master Lin, but had no idea how she had done so.
Now that he has seen Master Lin's puppet paper, what else doesn't he understand?
Master Lin must have lost the battle of magic with Mingluo, and even the paper figure was confiscated as a trophy.
What angered him even more was that he had just touched a piece of paper that had transformed into his likeness without his name being written on it.
He fell for Mingluo's trick!
He searched everywhere for Mingluo, only to be horrified to find her already standing outside the formation, smiling at him.
That look was clearly a trap!
Master Zhao's eyes were bloodshot with rage. What a cunning girl!
Just then, the little figure, grinning like an innocent child, attacked him while chanting a talisman song.
"This water is no ordinary water; a single drop is contained within the inkstone."
"The rain and clouds will arrive in an instant, and the illness will quickly disappear."
"The Northern Emperor gave me paper and talismans to fight evil spirits."
"Heaven grants me eternal life, so be it!"
As the little figure spoke, its movements were both strange and swift; a blow to the body would clearly be fatal.
Master Zhao dared not be careless at all. He and Master Lin were equally famous. Although they had never openly competed, they had competed in secret, and the two were evenly matched.
Master Lin's defeat at the hands of Mingluo shows that Mingluo's magical power is at least comparable to Master Lin's, making her a formidable opponent.
However, he remained calm.
The most abundant items in Longhu Mountain are talismans, including many used to punish Master Lin.
With a flick of his finger, several talismans quickly burst into flames and rushed towards the paper figure.
Minglu raised an eyebrow. She realized that Longhu Mountain was indeed skilled in using talismans. Among these talismans were immobilization talismans, exorcism talismans, and obstacle-clearing talismans, which could immobilize the paper figure and remove the spells on the mentally challenged person. Without the spells, the paper figure would naturally be unable to move.
Sure enough, after the talisman burned away around the paper figure, the paper figure paused for a moment, its magical power decreased, and after the immobilization was lifted, its movements became sluggish, and the smile on its face became forced.
Mingluo's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. She casually took out the wooden figure and formed a few hand seals with her fingers.
The wooden figure's eyebrows and eyes almost instantly gained a touch of human life, and its little feet pattered into the formation, cooperating with the paper figures.
"One, two, three, freeze!"
"Don't speak or move."
"No walking, no laughing."
A faint thread of spiritual energy connected the two figures, making their coordination seamless.
This song, which was originally a child's game, gradually became terrifying in the mouths of two non-human beings.
Master Zhao's face was ashen, and his forehead was covered in sweat. He had run out of talismans. He could only block one after another, and he was in a very bad situation. He only had two options: either to finish the battle quickly or to maneuver and fight back.
He carefully assessed the combat strength and realized that a quick victory was unlikely. It seemed that he could only retreat first and then find an opportunity to take revenge on Mingluo.
He threw out a magical artifact to block the pursuit of the paper figures and wooden figures, and then jumped out of the magic circle.
Suddenly—
But it was as if they had bumped into an invisible barrier and were forcefully blocked back.
He stared at Mingluo in horror and disbelief, "You altered the magic array?"
Minglu chuckled lightly and said calmly, "Your magic array is not bad, but aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this? What genius came up with such a self-destructive method of seizing all the earth's energy for their own use?"
This is even more ruthless than when she was a god-slayer, draining the pond to catch all the fish.
At least she knew back then that while the chives should be cut, one should leave them a way to survive.
These people, on the other hand, went so far as to dig up the entire leek patch.
They're rotten to the core.
"..." Master Zhao's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Hmph, Mingluo, aren't you going to stop? Do you want to make an enemy of the entire Xuanmen?"
Minglu frowned, looking at Master Zhao thoughtfully.
Master Zhao thought Mingluo was scared, and he was about to threaten her a few more times when he heard Mingluo coldly say, "If the Xuanmen were all like you, then you would be my enemies."
Master Zhao was speechless, his anger seeping into his heart, and he had to get it out.
In that moment of distraction, he was struck repeatedly by the paper figure and the wooden figure, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The smiles on the faces of the paper figure and the wooden figure grew wider and wider, and after being stained with Zhao Tianshi's blood, they inexplicably took on a somewhat eerie quality.
Minglu collected the paper figures and wooden figures before they could completely kill Zhao Tianshi.
Master Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, clutched his chest and coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, his eyes glaring fiercely at Ming Luo like a wolf.
Mingluo said calmly, "Yesterday, it was you who touched my things?"
"..." Master Zhao remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.
It's not honorable for a grandmaster of Taoism to secretly rummage through the belongings of a junior.
He's too ashamed to admit it!
Minglu casually teased the obedient and quiet wooden figure in her palm, and continued, "It's one thing to touch my things, but why did you have to harm those three girls? Although they are ungrateful, they don't deserve to die. Doesn't what you did violate the rules of the Xuanmen?"
"Hmph! They brought it on themselves." Master Zhao coughed and said irritably.
"After I opened the box, before I could even check it, they came in. As soon as they came in, they started rummaging through the box and put all the fox pelts around their necks on one by one. They were courting death, and no one could stop them. Later, I was afraid that the foxes would kill them, so I had no choice but to subdue them. It's a miracle that they didn't die on the spot."
