War with the Magic Rock Dynasty
"Your subordinate greets Master!"
The Demonic Puppet knelt on one knee, like a loyal guard, and spoke to Lin Langtian with utmost respect.
Upon seeing the Demonic Puppet that could speak like a living person, Lin Langtian's eyes flashed with surprise.
If the previous Demonic Puppet was just a simple combat puppet, then the current Demonic Puppet is more like a robot equipped with an AI, possessing its own intelligence.
Such Demonic Puppet is undoubtedly more valuable.
Thinking of this, Lin Langtian closed his eyes slightly. He clearly felt that his Mental Power was as if it had been split into two parts: one part controlled himself, and the other part controlled the Demonic Puppet in front of him.
At this moment, his sense of control had not diminished in the slightest, and the Demonic Puppet in front of him would still obey any of his commands.
However, besides that, Lin Langtian could also sense that within that Mental Imprint, there was a part that did not belong to him, but rather came from the Gray Shadow that had previously attempted to Body Snatching Lin Langtian.
It is precisely because of the existence of this Gray Shadow 'Mental Imprint that the Demonic Puppet develops sentience, just like a living person.
In other words, it could be said that the Gray Shadow Body Snatching the Demonic Puppet.
However, since the Gray Shadow was refined by Spirit Aunt in advance, only a part of its consciousness remained. Therefore, Lin Langtian still controlled the Demonic Puppet.
Thinking of this, Lin Langtian nodded in satisfaction. A loyal subordinate with intelligence is naturally much better than a mere puppet.
"Get up, put on these clothes, and while you're at it, suppress the demonic energy within you."
As Lin Langtian spoke, he took out a piece of clothing from his Universe Bag and handed it to the Demonic Puppet.
"Yes, Master."
The Demonic Puppet respectfully replied, then took the clothes from Lin Langtian's hand and quickly put them on. At the same time, the terrifying demonic aura on its body was also quickly subsided under its control.
The Demonic Puppet was dressed in a green robe, with a sinister and youthful face. After suppressing its terrifying demonic aura, apart from the oppressive feeling caused by its burly figure, it was no different from an ordinary person.
Seeing this, Lin Langtian nodded slightly.
Compared to its previous puppet form, the now sentient Demonic Puppet can control its own body like a normal person, such as suppressing the powerful demonic aura within it.
In the past, that terrifying demonic aura could be felt from miles away, which is why Lin Langtian rarely let the Demonic Puppet appear.
However, the Demonic Puppet, which is no different from an ordinary person at the moment, is quite suitable as a personal bodyguard.
"What's your name?" Lin Langtian asked.
"Master, I have no name," the young, sinister-looking Demonic Puppet replied respectfully, his face expressionless.
Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian was taken aback, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. It seemed that the Gray Shadow's mind had been almost completely extinguished, and it had even forgotten its own name.
It should be noted that Heavenly Profound Continent is Martial Path continent, not a cultivation continent. Although the method of Body Snatching is insidious, it is extremely rare.
The fact that the Gray Shadow could use such a secret technique indicates that he must have been a supreme expert in his previous life. If we could obtain some of the information from his mind, it would greatly help Lin Langtian in exploring the Ancient Battlefield.
However, Lin Langtian was only disappointed for a moment before he quickly recovered and shook his head.
Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. If that Cunning Old Man really does retain some of his own intelligence, then given his vicious nature, it's hard to say who will still be in control of Lin Langtian's Demonic Puppet.
Thinking of this, Lin Langtian couldn't help but sigh. This Cunning Old Man had been plotting to Body Snatching for countless years. Although he had succeeded, his mind had been almost completely erased. He wondered how the guy would have felt if he had known the outcome would be like this.
"In that case, you shall be called Demon Shadow from now on. Also, you shall call me Senior Brother from now on." Lin Langtian pondered for a moment and then looked at the Demonic Puppet in front of him.
Now that it has developed intelligence, the previous name is no longer appropriate, and having a name also represents a new life.
Lin Langtian wasn't very good at naming things, so he simply combined the characteristics of the Demonic Puppet and the Gray Shadow and named it Demon Shadow.
As for the title "Master," it's too conspicuous on this Ancient Battlefield. It's better to change it to what the Yan Alliance members call him, which will also make it easier for Lin Langtian to assign an identity to Demon Shadow.
"Yes, your subordinate, Demon Shadow, greets Senior Brother." The Demonic Puppet, now renamed Demon Shadow, replied respectfully as always.
After Lin Langtian finished giving instructions to the Demon Shadow, the Jin Wu also flew over, its black eyes curiously examining the revitalized Demon Shadow.
After the demonic aura subsided, the Jin Wu's fear of it greatly diminished. After testing it a couple of times, it finally landed on the Demon Shadow's shoulder.
The Demon Shadow sensed Lin Langtian's aura on the Jin Wu, so it did not stop the Jin Wu's behavior, but instead let the Jin Wu play.
Seeing this, Lin Langtian chuckled and shook his head. Since Little Yan left, Jin Wu has been extremely bored. Now he can even interact with the Demon Shadow.
Thinking of Little Yan, Lin Langtian stroked his chin. It seemed that after the Ancient Secret Key was completed, he would also have to help Jin Wu break through to the Nirvana Stage.
As Royal Beast, if the Jin Wu were to evolve into the Nine Fiend Black Gold Crow, its potential would be limitless, and it could become one of the Demon Shadow's right-hand men.
Having made up his mind, Lin Langtian wiped his palm across the Universe Bag, and immediately eighteen seeds of the Heavenly Talisman Spirit Tree appeared in his hand.
Looking at the eighteen seeds of the Heavenly Talisman Spirit Tree, Lin Langtian's mind stirred, and the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror flashed out. The next moment, Lin Langtian's figure also disappeared instantly.
Half an hour later, Lin Langtian reappeared in the stone chamber. He clapped his hands in satisfaction, shook off the mud from his feet, and then opened his mouth slightly to swallow the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror back into his Dantian.
In the short span of time, he naturally entered the Mirror Inner World and planted the Tree Seed of the eighteen Heavenly Talisman Spirit Tree.
The planting process is not troublesome and does not take much time, but it will obviously take a long time for the Heavenly Talisman Spirit Tree to mature.
Lin Langtian could only do his best and leave the rest to fate; all he could do was wait quietly.
After finishing all this, Lin Langtian stretched and then led Jin Wu and Demon Shadow out of the stone chamber.
Having been in seclusion for nearly a month, he had no idea what the situation was like outside. After all, he was the Senior Brother of the Yan Alliance.
Lin Langtian's encampment was located in a manor in the center of Yang City, which had been seized by the Yan Alliance. The stone chamber where Lin Langtian was in seclusion was located deep within the manor.
However, as soon as he stepped out of the stone chamber, the tense atmosphere throughout the manor startled Lin Langtian, and he frowned slightly.
Could it be that we've encountered some kind of enemy?
Just as Lin Langtian was frowning, a five-person patrol team from the Yan Alliance came by. When they saw Lin Langtian, their faces lit up with joy and they exclaimed, "Senior Brother, you've come out of seclusion?"
"Hmm." Lin Langtian nodded, then looked at the five-person guard team in front of him, frowned, and asked, "What's going on? What happened while I was in seclusion? Why is the entire Yan Alliance on high alert?"
Upon hearing this, the five members of the Yan Alliance exchanged glances. The last tall member said in a deep voice, "Senior Brother, not long after you went into seclusion, many new forces entered Yang City, including our old rival Magic Rock Dynasty."
Just half a month ago, our Yan Alliance officially went to war with the Magic Rock Dynasty!
"Go to war with the Magic Rock Dynasty?" Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian's expression froze for a moment, then his eyes suddenly turned cold.
