"God-killing bow?"
Jiang Deng's eyes suddenly lit up.
The name sounds very powerful. It is such a great spiritual weapon that is not used to its full potential, but is just placed here as an ornament. What a waste!
Danqing continued, "Although the rank of the God-Slaying Bow is not as high as that of a divine weapon, it is considered a top-grade spiritual weapon of the heavenly rank. Its spiritual energy transforms into arrows, which, when shot, can cause devastating damage to a cultivator's consciousness. With your current strength, a full-strength strike could instantly kill a cultivator in the Return to Void Realm."
Jiang Deng couldn't help but grind his teeth.
This spiritual weapon is tailor-made for her, she must get it!
There are no other problems, except... this thing is placed in such a conspicuous place, and there are evil cultivators walking around, so it may not be easy to steal.
She couldn't possibly destroy someone else's sect just to steal something, right?
Although the Puppet Cult is a demonic sect and can be destroyed, but... with her current strength, it might be a bit difficult. It would be better to find out the situation inside the Puppet Cult first.
"cough!"
Jiang Deng calmed down and casually asked, "Well, I haven't been to this Puppet Cult for many years. I don't know if there have been any personnel changes. Could you please tell me about it?"
"Reporting to your lord, guest..."
With the male cultivator's explanation, Jiang Deng had a general understanding of the situation of the Puppet Cult.
Today's Puppet Cult is divided into five major halls, namely the Puppet Hall, the Transmission Hall, the Law Enforcement Hall, the Merit Hall, and the Personnel Hall.
Each hall has a dedicated hall master in charge. The five hall masters report directly to the leader Chu Xiuping. Chu Xiuping is the most powerful person in the Puppet Cult and now has the strength to reach the peak of the Return to Void Realm.
Apart from the leader Chu Xiuping, the three elders in the sect have the greatest power. Although these three elders are only at the Spirit Transformation Realm, their strength should not be underestimated.
"The First Elder is in seclusion all day and doesn't care about anything. The Second Elder is too murderous. Last year, it was he who led the people to destroy the nearby Lighting Sect. The Third Elder is the weakest, but he is the one who holds the most grudges among the three elders."
The male cultivator warned, "Master Keqing, it's okay if you anger the Sect Leader, but be sure not to provoke these three elders. If the three elders want to touch you, not even the Sect Leader can stop them."
"oh……"
Jiang Deng nodded thoughtfully.
I don’t know which hall master or elder captured my aunt?
However, since the other party was able to make all his puppets have the strength of the Jindan realm, it means that his strength must be at least the Yuanying realm...
"Master Keqing, this is the Personnel Hall."
Before he knew it, Jiang Deng had followed the male cultivator to a building.
The palace door was wide open and there was no one around.
There was one person in the hall, a woman in her twenties. She was slumped in a chair with her eyes half-open and half-closed, looking so lazy.
Is this the head of the Personnel Department?
Jiang Deng raised his brows slightly after scanning the opponent's strength with his spiritual sense.
The middle stage of Nascent Soul Realm.
His ability is okay, but he is so lazy. It is obvious that he is not the real culprit behind the kidnapping of my aunt, so this person should be ruled out as a suspicion for now.
"Who is outside the palace?"
A lazy female voice sounded from inside the hall.
The male cultivator bowed towards the hall and said, "Palace Master Shen, Guest Xiahou and her companions are coming to join our Puppet Sect. Please register them and assign them accommodation."
"Okay, okay, I got it. You can go down now."
Inside the hall, Shen Hui waved her hands impatiently.
Although she is one of the five hall masters and reports directly to the leader, which sounds impressive, the Human Resources Hall is the weakest of the five halls.
In other words, the Personnel Hall is where all the trivial matters that the other halls are not interested in dealing with are pushed here. So it is called Personnel, but in fact it is the place that deals with trivial matters.
"Then I'll take my leave." The male cultivator retreated.
Jiang Deng led his men into the hall.
Without even looking up, Shen Hui lazily asked, "Where's the brand?"
Jiang Deng handed over the guest token in his hand.
"Guest official... Xia Hou?"
Shen Hui took out a thick book from the table, then compared it with the sign and looked through the records on it. "Oh, I found it. This sign was given to you by the Third Elder 120 years ago because you saved him. Since you are his subordinate, it is only natural that you should go to him."
"As for your companions..."
Shen Hui closed the book and glanced at the four people standing behind Jiang Deng.
Two of them were slightly older, looking about fifteen or sixteen years old, and there were two children under ten years old...
Shen Hui frowned slightly.
The first time I saw a guest official joining the Puppet Cult, he brought his family with him.
This is a demonic sect, not a childcare center...
Although she was speechless, Shen Hui still handed the token to Jiang Deng and said dutifully: "They can choose to live with you, or they can choose to become ordinary disciples, but it's not easy to stay there. It's up to you to decide."
Jiang Deng put away the token. "They are all my family, so naturally they live with me. But where does the Third Elder live? Could you please show me the way?"
"No, I have things to do."
After saying that, Shen Hui leaned back and continued to slump in her seat, her sitting posture as crooked as an invertebrate.
Is there something wrong?
Jiang Deng's mouth twitched.
That's it, but there's no sign of anything wrong.
Shen Hui said confidently, "Why, slacking off isn't a big deal? Do you know how hard it is? In order to avoid being discovered by the leader and the elders, I have to endure both mental and physical tests!"
Jiang Deng: “…”
This Palace Master Shen seems a little unreliable.
Fortunately, although Shen Hui was lazy, she still wrote a note to Jiang Deng with the address of the third elder on it.
According to the address given by Shen Hui, Jiang Deng spent a lot of time in the city before finding the address of the third elder.
Unlike most ordinary disciples of the Puppet Cult, the three elders did not live in a bungalow in the city, but lived on the mountain at the end of the sight.
Three towering spiritual peaks stood in front of them, looking extremely majestic from afar. No wonder the power of the three elders could be compared with that of the leader...
Jiang Deng led his men to the foot of the mountain. After the guard reported to them, the third elder quickly came out to greet them.
The third elder looked to be in his early thirties, thin, with dark circles under his eyes. He was smiling and looked very easy to get along with.
"Brother Xiahou...it's been a while since we last met. I really missed you!"
The third elder came out quickly, and when he saw Jiang Deng's face clearly, his smile froze on his face.
Well……
If he wasn't blind, the person in front of him would be a woman, right?
How come after not seeing you for so many years, Brother Xiahou has suddenly changed from a man to a woman?
The smile on the Third Elder's face disappeared without a trace. He stared at Jiang Deng warily and said firmly, "You are not Brother Xiahou. Tell me, who are you?"
