Chapter 159 "You two are actually Daoist partners?"
The sudden attack caught Xin Hun Yin off guard. Looking at the person who had suddenly appeared, he shouted, "Who are you?"
Yan Xiao did not answer him. Holding a purplish-black longsword, he suddenly slashed out with several sword lights.
In desperation, he immediately summoned black mist to resist, but was still forced back several meters.
At this moment, Cen Feng finally came to his senses and pointed to the Soul Guide not far away, saying, "Human Puppet, quickly capture him!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Xiao realized that he had forgotten to pretend in his haste. He wondered if the little fool had become suspicious.
So he pretended to be a puppet, stiffly turned around and replied, "Yes, Master."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure transformed into several black afterimages, and within a few breaths he was close to the Soul Guide, engaging in several exchanges in the blink of an eye.
Two black figures, moving with lightning speed, were locked in a fierce and intense battle.
The aftershocks of the battle nearly leveled the surrounding rocky forest, turning the flying rocks into dust in an instant, causing Cen Feng to unconsciously take a few steps back.
He had originally intended to go and help, but it seemed that in a battle of this level, his presence would only be a burden. "I didn't expect... this puppet to be so powerful? I've struck gold!"
At this moment, Bai Ruoqian was hiding in the distance, observing the battle, and she was also dumbfounded.
The Soul Guide absorbed and refined a lot of souls, which increased its strength several times over. How could that suddenly appearing puppet fight for so long without being at a disadvantage?
"hateful!"
Bai Ruoqian glared at Cen Feng with hatred. She should have killed him sooner; now that he'd been left to fend for himself, he was becoming increasingly difficult to deal with.
Since Xin Hun Yin is now a soul, he is unable to fight for long. Fearing that trouble might arise and his whereabouts would be exposed, he had no choice but to flee.
Seeing the evil creature escape, Cen Feng immediately became anxious. "Hey, it's gone! You have to chase after it!"
Yan Xiao frowned but did not chase after him. Instead, he walked towards him and said, "I will not chase after him. I will protect my master."
As Cen Feng listened to the deep, magnetic voice, he inexplicably felt a tingling sensation run through his body.
Looking at his masked face, I suddenly felt a little dazed, as if it were overlapping with that absurd dream.
Yan Xiao felt a little flustered under his gaze. He swallowed a few times and asked, "Master... what are you looking at?"
Cen Feng looked him up and down, then reached out and touched his muscular body. The touch was cool and unlike that of a normal person. He asked in confusion, "Are you really a human puppet?"
"Yes, Master."
"But...how can you talk to me?"
Yan Xiao looked at him and his eyes flickered slightly. After thinking for a moment, he made up a story: "Although I am a puppet, I have already developed intelligence and am able to communicate in a basic way."
"Oh, I see..."
Seeing that he had fooled the man, Yan Xiao covered the smile on his lips. "Master, I don't want to stay in the storage ring. Let me stay by your side for the time being. That way, it will be easier for me to protect and serve you."
"Okay, alright..."
Upon hearing the word "serve," Cen Feng couldn't help but recall the scenes from his dream. Although they were just fragments, they were enough to make him feel ashamed and blush.
"Let's go."
Yan Xiao looked at the person who seemed to be fleeing, his pupils darkening, and he smiled, "Yes, Master."
...
After receiving the Soul Guidance, Bai Ruoqian immediately fled the area. She turned around, panting, and saw that they did not seem to be chasing her, which relieved her.
"I didn't expect that puppet to be so troublesome..."
"He is not a puppet."
"What?" Bai Ruoqian looked surprised. "Not a human puppet?"
"That person is extremely powerful, and we can't figure out his methods yet, but he exudes a sinister aura, making him seem like a heretical cultivator..."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ruoqian was overjoyed and said, "Great! So that means he secretly brought evil cultivators into the secret realm. If he reveals this to those people in the Immortal Alliance, won't someone deal with him?"
Heart Soul Guide: "I advise you not to act rashly. My existence has already been known. If it attracts too much attention from those old bastards in the Immortal Alliance, and they search everyone in the secret realm with their divine senses, we will both be exposed and neither of us will benefit."
"So we're just going to let him go like this?" Bai Ruoqian asked, her face full of resentment.
"Then what else do you want? Don't forget you still have to explain why. If people dig into your past, aren't you just asking for trouble?"
"hateful!"
Xin Hun Yin chuckled softly, "Let's hold off on this for now. I have other plans. Let them be arrogant for a while, then we'll unleash our fury all at once. When that happens, they'll be utterly annihilated!"
"All right."
When Bai Ruoqian returned, Su Yuyuan and the others still hadn't captured Ling Shu, and to make matters worse, they had also encountered Shi Yi. "Useless!"
Suddenly, the sneak attack from the shadows caught her attention. She quickly flew towards the location and saw Du Jiaoxi hiding furtively behind a concealed rock. "Du Jiaoxi, what do you mean?!"
Upon hearing this, Du Jiaoxi's lips twitched, and she laughed, "Oh, Junior Sister Bai, what a coincidence! Of course, I was just trying to help Su Yuyuan!"
Bai Ruoqian's face was full of anger as she gritted her teeth and said, "You call this 'helping'?"
Du Jiaoxi shrugged. "It's not my fault. It's just that he never cooperates with me. We have absolutely no chemistry!"
Bai Ruoqian, unwilling to say another word to her, summoned her sword and charged at her, saying, "If you are ruthless, don't blame me for being unjust!"
Upon seeing this, Du Jiaoxi immediately dodged, thus exposing her figure. Su Yuyuan, who was not far away, saw her and angrily said, "So it was you, you cunning woman!"
"Hehe, isn't that right?" Du Jiaoxi blocked Bai Ruoqian's attack and landed lightly on a rock. "Don't hit me, don't hit me, let's talk this out."
Bai Ruoqian snorted coldly, "When we set off, there was an agreement between our two factions. You broke the agreement on your own. Let's see how you explain yourself when you get back!"
Du Jiaoxi scoffed inwardly. Sure enough, they still brought up Bai Qingyi.
"Well, I have my reasons."
Bai Ruoqian scoffed, "What's your predicament? Tell us all."
Du Jiaoxi clutched her chest, her delicate brows furrowed, and said mournfully, "What is love in this world that makes people willing to die for it..."
"..."
Su Yuyuan said impatiently, "What nonsense is this?"
Du Jiaoxi walked towards Shi Yi, her beautiful eyes filled with love as she looked at him. Suddenly, she tiptoed and kissed the corner of his mouth.
Everyone present was instantly petrified, including Shi Yi, the person involved.
At that moment, he felt as if his heart had stopped beating for a moment, and then started beating wildly uncontrollably again. He stared at Du Jiaoxi with his mouth open, speechless for a long time.
Seeing his expression, Du Jiaoxi couldn't help but smile. She turned around and pointed angrily at the stunned Su Yuyuan, saying, "Hmph, you hit my sweetheart, giving you a few slaps in the dark is already letting you off easy!"
"...You two are actually Daoist partners?" Su Yuyuan looked at the two of them with disbelief, as if they were completely mismatched.
Not only him, but even Bai Ruoqian was shocked. After recovering, she snorted coldly and said, "So what if you two are Daoist partners? You are still guilty!"
Du Jiaoxi's eyes gleamed with cunning as she leaned against Shi Yi. "This matter is understandable. Elder Bai and Elder Chen are Daoist partners, so they can naturally understand my feelings at this moment and will certainly not blame me."
"Hmph, that affected manner is disgusting! Do you think you can get away with this kind of excuse?"
Although Bai Ruoqian said it with disdain, she had to admit in her heart that her cousin was good in every way, but when it came to matters of the heart, she was a complete love-struck fool.
Maybe she can actually fool us like that.
"Brother, you're amazing! You actually found a girlfriend without saying a word?" At this moment, Cen Feng returned at some point, squatted on a rock for a while, and couldn't help but sigh.
Bai Ruoqian was startled and looked up to see that the 'human puppet' was indeed still beside him. She then feigned surprise and said, "Cen Feng, how dare you bring an outsider into the secret realm without permission!"
Cen Feng glanced at her and said, "Are you blind? This is my puppet!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ruoqian's lips twitched slightly, and she thought to herself: Whose eyes are blind here?
Xin Hun Yin: "Judging from his reaction, he probably doesn't even know this person's background. You'd better not cause any unnecessary trouble."
Bai Ruoqian had also sensed that fleeting killing intent, so she could only nod.
Ling Shu stepped forward and looked at Yan Xiao beside him, her eyes shining with excitement. "Brother Cen Feng, this puppet is so realistic!" She reached out to touch it, but Yan Xiao slapped her hand away.
"Tsk, don't touch me!"
"Huh?" Ling Shu looked at him curiously. "It...it actually talked! It seems a bit different from the other puppets!"
"Hehe! You have a good eye." Cen Feng said with a smug smile, "It's an extremely rare 'human puppet,' and it's even developed sentience!"
"Wow, that's amazing!" Ling Shu clapped her hands excitedly, and the two started chatting back and forth.
Seeing this, Bai Ruoqian rolled her eyes. "Two idiots!"
Suddenly, Cen Feng seemed to remember something and looked at Ling Shu and the others, asking, "By the way, did you see a strange dark figure just now?"
Ling Shu: "No, what is that?"
"A dark shadow?" Du Jiaoxi's smile vanished, and she asked seriously, "Where did you see it?"
Cen Feng: "Just now in the gravel forest, that dark figure tried to kill me but then escaped. Have you seen that thing?"
Du Jiaoxi frowned: "I've seen it. It has killed quite a few people in the secret realm. You all need to be careful."
