This diamond-shaped object is about the size of an egg, and as the light flows, it emits a subtle energy fluctuation.

Instantly, the twenty level nine monsters around all lay down, lowered their heads and growled.

That expression was like that of a tamed beast, without any wildness at all.

Seeing this scene, Lin Hao, Qin Yu and others couldn't help but be surprised.

So many level nine monsters were subdued in an instant, which was completely beyond the expectations of Lin Hao and others.

"These are actually Fu puppet beasts."

Yan Xinyue smiled and explained: "The energy fluctuations of this diamond can make them sense that it is not an enemy."

Talisman puppet beast? !

Hearing this, Lin Hao's eyes flashed, and the surprise in his eyes suddenly became more intense.

Because he could clearly sense the fluctuations of life breath from these talisman puppet beasts.

In the past, his impression of Fu puppets was that they were similar to robots, only acting according to the set program and without any consciousness.

But now, these talisman puppet beasts can be cast so realistically, which completely overturns his previous understanding of talisman puppets.

From this we can see how powerful the skills of the weapon refining master of Dian Zong are!

“At first, I was a little surprised.”

Yan Xinyue smiled and said, "After listening to what Master said, I realized that there are actually two types of Fu puppets."

"Two?"

Lin Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Yan Xinyue with a puzzled look.

Yan Xinyue nodded, a crescent-shaped smile curved up at the corner of her mouth, as if she was enjoying Lin Hao looking at her like this.

"Strictly speaking, Fu puppets are divided into dead puppets and living puppets."

After Yan Xinyue sorted out her thoughts, she said, "A dead puppet is the kind of mechanical puppet we used to see. It has no consciousness."

"As for living puppets, they not only have consciousness, but also retain most of their flesh and blood, and their lifespan is much longer."

"However, although they have consciousness, they are also controlled like slaves."

Having said that, Yan Xinyue turned her gaze to the talisman puppet beasts beside her.

A trace of pity flashed in her eyes, and she said quietly: "In this situation, it is better to die completely, at least you don't have to suffer anymore."

Regarding this, Lin Hao was not as compassionate as the woman.

Instead, he was quite shocked by the method of refining the talisman puppet.

This is just like a semi-machine form, and its combat power is at least increased several times!

"A live puppet? I don't know if the meat is fresh or tender."

On the side, Qin Yu licked his lips and made a shameless joke.

Hearing this, Yan Xinyue's pretty face changed slightly, and she glared at Qin Yu with her beautiful eyes.

"The teleportation array is in a cave deep in the valley."

After saying that, she led Lin Hao and the others through the herd of beasts and headed for a more hidden area deep in the valley.

As we arrived at the cave, we saw dozens of figures standing outside.

Lin Hao was not unfamiliar with the three young men wearing school uniforms.

All of them were contestants who had competed with him in the previous Hundred Colleges Competition.

'Ji Shuang' from Qinling Academy.

Kuangling Academy, 'Chen Zhen'.

As for the young man in black at the back, Lin Hao was deeply impressed by him. His name was Mo Dan.

At that time on the battlefield, Mo Dan used the "Demon Realm Gathering the Sky" technique to stab Lin Hao with an assassin's method.

Lin Hao fought with great feeling in that battle. If he did not also understand the principles of the Demon Realm Covering the Sky technique, he would probably have found it difficult to withstand it.

When they saw Lin Hao appear, the three of them were slightly startled, and then nodded to him as a greeting.

Having lost to the champion, they had no regrets about the low ranking.

Moreover, being selected by the Palace Master has already achieved the goal of the three of them.

Lin Hao also nodded in response.

As he approached the crowd, his eyes also swept over the other people around him.

However, some of them were not wearing school uniforms. They should be the independent cultivator geniuses that Yan Xinyue had mentioned before.

Each of them has a powerful aura and is indeed a person of strong fighting ability.

Among them, there were three older men.

They were dressed the same, all in white robes with the word "zhi" embroidered in black on their chests.

"Could it be someone from the Deacon Hall?"

After taking a quick look, Lin Hao withdrew his gaze and made some guesses in his mind.

Earlier on the way, he had heard Yan Xinyue talk about the power structure of the nine major sects.

In ancient times, the nine major halls were actually one entity, originally named "Wu Zong".

Later, because of the racial war that year, with the death of the leader of the Wu Sect, the strong men of various factions were unwilling to accept any one of them taking the position of leader.

This led to the split and the formation of the current nine major sects.

Although it has disintegrated, the foundations of all parties are still in their original areas and have not been moved.

Precisely because their forces were too close and frictions occurred from time to time, they decided to establish an alliance organization and give it the power to maintain order!

This organization is the Deacon Hall!

No matter which sect the disciples belong to, if they violate the rules, the members of the Deacon Hall will arrest them and punish them, fairly and justly!

Due to this special duty, most of the members of the Deacon Hall are top masters and are able to impose sanctions.

In the Deacon Hall, deacons are also divided into high and low ranks.

This distinction is made by the color of clothes.

The white robe is the lowest level, followed by the green robe, purple robe, black robe, and gold robe.

On the surface, there seem to be five levels, but rumor has it that there are also stewards in "blood robes".

However, those guys act in a very mysterious way, and very few people can see them.

Perhaps only when something earth-shattering happens will that group of mysterious blood-robed deacons be dispatched!

"Those four people seem to be students of Tianyan Academy."

"I remember that in the Hundred Colleges Competition a while ago, the top four places were all taken by Tianyan Academy. Could it be these four?"

"Well, I wonder who is the champion Lin Hao?"

Seeing Lin Hao and his group coming, the young heroes outside the cave immediately looked at them curiously and talked about them.

"The title of champion is just an empty title."

"If we participate, I'm afraid he won't have that opportunity."

As the saying goes, young people are reckless and have never competed before. Naturally, some arrogant young martial artists sneered at the champion Lin Hao.

With Lin Hao's current cultivation level, his senses in all aspects are extremely sensitive.

He undoubtedly heard all the subtle discussions in the crowd.

Lin Hao didn't care about this and remained silent.

However, when his three brothers heard that their eldest brother's ability was questioned by others, their emotions suddenly fluctuated.

"Hey, you just said that if our boss participates in the competition, he will have no chance of winning the championship."

Qin Yu was arrogant and pointed directly at a purple-clothed youth in the crowd. He sneered and said, "If you have the guts, come out and fight with me, the fourth place."

"And me, take your pick."

Gu Yunle also stood up, his pretty face showing a hint of unruly smile.

As for Raymond, due to his personality, he stood by Lin Hao and was not as arrogant as Qin Yu and the others.

Of course, if something really happens, his explosive power would probably be crazier than anyone else!

Being shouted at by Qin Yu and Gu Yunle, the young man in purple suddenly looked gloomy.

Staring at the two of them, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"Even if two of you come together, you're not enough for me to play with."

The purple-clothed young man was undoubtedly even more arrogant. He stretched out a finger, shook it, and sneered arrogantly.
