Chapter 386: Demon Puppet
Chapter 386: Demon Puppet
As Yang Song walked, he unknowingly arrived at the backyard of the Sky Cloud Sword Sect where very few people came.
The temporary residence of the Sky Cloud Sword Sect was on the mountain, so next to the backyard, it was a big forest.
When Yang Song arrived at the backyard, he unexpectedly felt an energy fluctuation in the forest right next to it.
This energy fluctuation also contained the power related to space. In other words, someone had just used the power of space.
Yang Song used Profound Jump and instantly appeared in the position of the energy fluctuation.
At this moment, he was floating in the air and had his figure concealed.
Below him, a young man in a servant outfit looked left and right calmly. He put his hands behind his back and secretly hid something.
Yang Song concentrated his Spiritual Sense and inspected the thing that he had just hidden.
It turned out to be a treasure related to space. He opened the Eye of Truth to confirm his guess.
Item: Silent Space Skipping Jade
Description: This item can be used to skip space; the effect is similar to teleportation, but the distance is many times shorter. The only superior feature is that the spatial energy fluctuation will be reduced significantly when using, making it a sacred item commonly used by assassins, spies, scouts, and so on.
Yang Song shifted his gaze and turned to the servant.
Name: Ping Yanjie
Identity: A servant responsible for cleaning core disciples' residence
True identity: Demon Puppet of the Black Dragon Sect
Combat Power: Level 2
Description: A special puppet that was refined from a human, it is weak in personal strength but its refiner can attach his soul into it and thereby use it as his secondary avatar, the refiner can also display his abilities and original strength via this Demon Puppet to a certain extent.
Remark: The soul inside the Demon Puppet belongs to the 10th Hall Master of the Black Dragon Sect.
…
Black Dragon Sect?
Demon Puppet of the Black Dragon Sect?
The 10th Hall Master of the Black Dragon Sect?
Yang Song's interest was piqued in an instant.
Wasn't this Black Dragon Sect rumored to be an evil second-rate sect?
This sect actually dared to stretch out its hand to the Sky Cloud Sword Sect?
It seemed like this Black Dragon Sect really did not take him, Yang Song, seriously.
But Yang Song had to admire the ability of this Black Dragon Sect a bit. Its puppet could actually escape the detection of so many warriors and blend in among the servants.
Admire was one thing, but Yang Song did not seem to like it very much. After all, this puppet was originally a human, but he was caught by the Black Dragon Sect and thus turned into a lifeless puppet.
Such a method was very cruel, but it should be common in the world of the strong.
Yang Song was once an ordinary person, so he inevitably felt uncomfortable when seeing a fellow ordinary human getting tortured like this.
If Yang Song guessed it right, there should be more than just one Demon Puppet in the Black Dragon Sect.
Having said that, the main question was, was this Ping Yanjie the one who spread the fake rumor that Xu Hailing practiced an evil technique?
Yang Song was still not completely sure since there was no solid evidence, but the identity of Demon Puppet was enough to prove that the Sky Cloud Sword Sect was infiltrated by outsiders.
The appearance of the Black Dragon Sect made Yang Song feel that the conspiracy behind this was bigger than he originally thought.
…
Ping Yanjie hurried back to the servant hall, his figure occasionally skipped space and appeared at a distance away.
His speed was extremely fast. Generally speaking, he should arrive at the servant hall in only a few minutes at most.
Half an hour later, Ping Yanjie stopped, stared at the simply trees and flowers around, and muttered in a hoard voice that did not seem to belong to him, "Why am I still at the backyard? Is there an array here?"
He moved forward very fast. It was reasonable to say that with such a speed, he should be able to come back and forth between the backyard and the servant hall many times.
However, he still stayed in the area at the back of the temporary residence of the Sky Cloud Sword Sect. But if he was really trapped in a formation, why did he not feel anything? Why did he not notice anything wrong?
Thinking of this, it really made him think that the formation was really not simple and he was likely to have been discovered by someone in the Sky Cloud Sword Sect.
Ping Yanjie's eyes flickered several times, and suddenly he bowed to the void nervously, and said loudly, "Senior, this junior doesn't know what he has done wrong. If junior has offended senior in any way, please forgive junior. Junior is just a lowly servant…"
"Oh, really, 10th Hall Master?" Yang Song's disguised voice sounded in an abrupt manner.
Ping Yanjie's expression changed; this person's answer absolutely exceeded his expectations. But he still tried his best to act normal and even showed a look of ignorance.
"Senior, I…"
Before Ping Yanjie could complete his sentence, Ping Yanjie felt the world around him turn black. No, he was transferred to an absolute black space!
At this moment, he did not care about exposing his true identity anymore, he quickly used his secret technique to escape from this place.
However, he suddenly found that his body was completely stiff, unable to move.
A flick of light entered his vision, by the time the light arrived in front of him after he blinked his eyes one time, a person stood in front of him unknowingly.
This person's face was completely blur as if he did not have a face, but his overall appearance was pure white as if he was an immortal.
Ping Yanjie looked at him vigilantly and asked deeply in an old and hoarse voice, "Who are you? How dare you interfere with the affair of our Black Dragon Sect?"
"You are still so arrogant in this state?" The man was Yang Song, he knew that this guy asked him this to divert his attention so that he had time to try to urge his secret technique.
Yang Song had to act like a kind a person and reminded him, "You don't need to try it, it's useless. This is a completely different space, and I am the master here. Any technique is useless."
"Different space? How is this possible? What kind of power is this?" Ping Yanjie asked three questions in a row, and his complexion changed greatly.
Yang Song ignored his questions and asked, "Now, tell me, are you the one who spread the false rumor, saying that Xu Hailing is a practitioner of an evil technique?"
Ping Yanjie quickly shook his head, "No it's not me."
Yang Song was deadly sure that this guy was the culprit. Because he denied it too quickly.
"It seems like you won't cry if you don't see the coffin."
Yang Song said indifferently and did not attack this Demon Puppet. Instead, he spread his soul power and invaded the body of the Demon Puppet.
Inside, he quickly caught the soul of the 10th Hall Master of the Black Dragon Sect. The only pity was that this soul was not complete, hence, even if Yang Song looked into the memory of this soul, only the gain was not much.
The soul was in the form of a speck of light. It struggled fiercely and tried to break away from Yang Song's hand. But it was obviously useless.
After struggling to no avail, a voice immediately appeared and begged, "Senior, please let me go, I will tell you all the secret you want to know."
"You are not qualified to make terms with me. Also, I know that this is just a part of your soul, so don't try to play any trick, it won't work in front of me."
Yang Song did not want to talk nonsense with this guy, he quickly explored the memory of this soul and gained what he wanted. Then, under the scream of that old voice, the tiny soul was crushed into pieces.
…
Far away from the monster mountain range.
In an abyss under a big lake.
An old man with long black fingernails and a ferocious breath suddenly opened his eyes and spurted a mouthful of blood.
His complexion turned pale and he quickly forcibly cut off the connection with the Demon Puppet far away. No, to be more precise, he cut off the connection with his soul so that a greater backlash would not reverberate over.
Hearing his movement, several people entered his cave and helped him to stabilize his breath.
"Old Ten, what happened?" An old woman whose hair was made up of many snakes asked while healing.
The 10th Hall Master took a deep breath and said, "Our 'hand' in the Sky Cloud Sword Sect has perished."
The other two people were surprised, "What? How can your Demon Puppet be discovered so easily?"
The 10th Hall Master shook his head, "The one who found me is not a simple character. He should be an ancestor-level figure. His power is too weird and terrifying. He can transfer me to another space where he is the master and invade my soul…"
He described what happened in detail, and the three people next to him were shocked.
The old woman took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Let's tell this matter to the Black Dragon Lord.. It seems like our plan needs to be changed."
