Chi Ju rubbed her eyes, incredulously asking, "Am I hallucinating?"
Chi Mei replied blankly, "You're not mistaken, there really are five Zhang Fans."
Five identical Zhang Fans walked out of Jigan's house one after the other.
The women looked at them again and again, but still couldn't see any difference between them.
Zhang Fan looked at the group of five people and asked, "Only one of these is real. Can you tell?"
The women shook their heads: "Could it be quintuplets?"
"Impossible. If someone had entered the village, there would have been a lot of news about it."
"I think it must be because I'm still drunk."
Seeing that the people didn't recognize him, the five Zhang Fans left home.
They asked everyone in the village, including the clan chief and Chi Fei, but no one could recognize him.
Suddenly, Zhang Fan's expression hardened, and he actually attacked the people in the village.
"Watch out!" Chi Fei lashed out with her whip, which swept over Zhang Fan, who was closest to her.
Zhang Fan smiled coldly, clenched his fist, gripped the whip tightly, and tugged it. Chi Fei was forced to walk towards Zhang Fan. By the time she realized it, she was already tied up by Zhang Fan.
The clan chief, his cloudy eyes fixed on the scene before him, remained unmoved, leaning on his cane.
Zhang Fan used the same method to kidnap many women. Chi Fei glared at Zhang Fan with her delicate eyebrows and asked, "Who exactly are you?"
He lifted Chi Fei's chin: "We were together last night, but after sleeping together, you don't recognize me anymore."
Chi Fei was both ashamed and angry. Suddenly, Zhang Fan frowned slightly, and he seemed a little weak. Then he snapped his fingers.
The other four Zhang Fans swayed, their bodies getting smaller and smaller until they finally turned into a piece of paper on the ground.
Chi Fei was startled: "What... what exactly is going on?"
The clan chief's voice was old yet full of vigor: "Puppet Talisman."
Zhang Fan glanced at the clan leader, who seemed to have seen it before: "That's right, it's the Puppet Talisman. Those four people 'I' just now were all puppets."
Chi Fei's eyes lit up with joy: "They're all puppets, so if we replicated everyone, wouldn't that increase our combat power a lot?"
Zhang Fan loosened the whip for her: "As you can see, the puppet's power will be weakened, making it less powerful than the original body."
Chi Fei and her sisters looked at each other in dismay, realizing that the original owner of this body had managed to capture them.
Zhang Fan: "There are people in the Heavenly Dragon Sect whose strength is no less than mine."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned solemn. If the other party also possessed the Puppet Talisman, wouldn't they be able to create many clones to capture them?
"Chief, there are outsiders!"
Someone brought in a man whose hands were tied. Next to him was a man carrying a basket filled with herbs.
The man trembled and said, "I'm a villager from nearby. I came to the mountains to find medicine, but I got lost. I didn't mean to."
Although there is a magic array here, some people have stumbled in by mistake before. Chi Fei released a Gu worm that tells the truth, but the person's story did not change.
In the past, when I encountered this situation, I would usually release them after a brief interrogation.
Just as the clan chief was about to order the release of the people, Zhang Fan reached out and grabbed at the villager's chest.
The man was terrified and struggled desperately: "I'm a man, what are you doing? Let me go!"
Zhang Fan pulled a red talisman from the man's chest and smiled coldly: "Location talisman."
The villager's pupils constricted, and his face drained of color. Then he bit down hard, and his body swelled up rapidly, as if he had been soaked in water.
He grew larger and larger, as if he was about to explode.
It all happened so suddenly that everyone reacted and ran in all directions.
Seeing that Zhang Fan remained unmoved, Chi Fei reached out her hand, intending to pull Zhang Fan away.
Then Zhang Fan raised his palm and struck the villager with it.
She instinctively turned around and saw the villager explode.
Blood-red stuff was splattering everywhere. It would be terrible if it contained poison, and even if it didn't, it was still disgusting.
Chi Fei immediately turned her head, covered her head, and threw herself to the ground, closing her eyes in terror, hoping that the filth would splash less onto her.
After waiting for a long time without feeling any contamination, Chi Fei's stiff neck mechanically twisted as she cautiously looked around.
There was no filth, and she breathed a sigh of relief, mustering her courage to look back.
The filth from the villagers' exploding bodies flew in all directions, but it seemed to be blocked by something after only a short distance.
Upon closer inspection, it appears there is a transparent barrier, created by Zhang Fan's palm.
Zhang Fan contained all the explosives used by the villagers, and no one in the vicinity was affected.
Zhang Fan only withdrew his palm after the last drop of filth had fallen to the ground.
Everyone watched as the villager turned into a scarecrow, with filth bursting from his belly.
The clan chief looked at Zhang Fan: "Zhang Fan, how can a person turn into a scarecrow?"
Not just the clan leader, everyone's eyes were on Zhang Fan; unknowingly, he had become their pillar of support.
Zhang Fan: "The puppet talisman, they put pig's blood mixed with poison into the scarecrow's belly. If the poison gets on the skin, at best you'll be bedridden for half a month, at worst you'll die directly."
Everyone's face was grim. The clan leader said, "If you take the locator, will they still be able to find this place?"
Zhang Fan: "The location has always been shared. Since there's been no movement here, they'll definitely be able to guess that they might have used the puppet talisman to transform into someone else..."
He didn't finish speaking, but everyone could tell.
The clan chief's expression changed drastically: "Everyone, prepare for battle!"
"yes!"
The village became serious. Zhang Fan walked along the road, but no one came to look for him. The girls were all busy practicing their skills.
They had to exchange secret signals with each person they saw.
Zhang Fan wasn't worried about being copied, because the Tianlong Sect was unfamiliar with him and didn't know what he looked like.
Jigan sensed the tense atmosphere: "How many days left?"
Zhang Fan: "One day."
Jigan: "That's enough. I have something to give you."
He flipped open the pillow, where there was a hidden compartment. He took out a box from it, blew on it gently, raising dust as he opened the box. Inside was a yellowed book.
"This is a secret document that the sect leader entrusted to me years ago. I'm giving it to you now."
Zhang Fan raised an eyebrow, thinking it must be an extraordinary treasure, but when he opened it, there wasn't a single word inside.
He looked at it from every angle, and it looked like a notebook. Could he have made a mistake?
Yoshikane: "That's how it was when I received it."
At the same time, the Tianlong Sect Master frowned: "That person has appeared..."
