"It's a Bronze Serpent Puppet, one of the masterpieces in the Puppet Dao left by the senior of this Cave Abode."
Amid her surprise, Long Yiran added an explanation.
She pulled Wang Yu and kept flying forward, and the action truly startled him. Just a hair's breadth! His Soul Shattering Finger had almost shot out!!
They were still inside the Bronze Passage from before. It was as if they had jumped from one passage into another, but in essence, they were still within the Soul Confusion Formation.
Only now, there was an additional Bronze Giant Serpent chasing them from behind.
The serpent puppet's speed was not particularly fast. With the escape speed of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, a slight reinforcement of True Essence was enough to surpass the Bronze Serpent Puppet. This showed that the essence of the matter was still breaking the Soul Confusion Formation.
This rumbling commotion merely added a bit more pressure.
Wang Yu broke free of Long Yiran's hand and said softly, "I must ask Fellow Daoist Long not to touch others casually. In Red Kite, that can cost lives."
Long Yiran froze. "...I... I understand."
Clearly.
This one was also a Great Lake cultivator. Otherwise, she would not have been so "honest." He did not dislike dealing with honest people.
Long Yiran probably had not stayed in Red Kite for very long, and most of that time had been spent wandering in such rarely visited places. Ten-odd to twenty years was likely the limit.
Wang Yu estimated that her status was not equal to that Great Lake Noble Daughter's. She was only a wandering cultivator from Great Lake's side, and should also have come to complete her inheritance. Along the way, perhaps some story had occurred between her and the Ruan Family of Poison Scorpion
