Corpse Puppet Su Mo, Overpowering Jingxu

If he could take advantage of Jingxu Daoist's carelessness, during his heavy injuries, and snatch his cave!

Li Yan's brain began to think rapidly, feeling this method was feasible.

"Xuan Ye Daoist has been to Jingxu Daoist's cave many times; once the mechanisms inside are activated, outsiders can't enter."

Countless plans were conceived in his mind; this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The heavily injured Jingxu Daoist was constantly losing Blood Qi after losing his head.

He made up his mind!

Li Yan stepped on his flying sword and flew towards Jingxu Daoist's cave, according to his memory.

That cave was called Gu Gu, hidden in a Red Leaf Forest.

The forest was full of poisonous insects, and outside Gu Gu were a large number of array mechanisms set up by Jingxu Daoist, the core of which was a mountain-protecting array.

Xuan Ye Daoist and Jingxu Daoist, this master and disciple pair, had a good relationship.

Mmm.

To some extent, Xuan Ye Daoist did the dirty work for Jingxu Daoist; this female disciple was almost Jingxu Daoist's servant.

Jingxu Daoist trusted her, so Xuan Ye Daoist knew many secrets.

Li Yan learned about all the arrangements here by reading these memory fragments.

He lurked in the dark corner, waiting for the headless Jingxu Daoist to return.

Soon, the old Daoist who had his head cut off did indeed step on his flying sword and stagger back to the Red Leaf Forest Gu Gu cave.

Having lost his head, Jingxu Daoist flew unsteadily, like a drunk person.

He pinched his fingers and slowly opened the mountain-protecting array.

Li Yan saw the gap in the array slowly unfolding and took a deep breath: "Go!"

Two Sub Shadows attacked Jingxu Daoist, while he himself rushed straight into the array.

Sensing a gust of wind, the headless Jingxu Daoist noticed something was wrong.

"Who is it!"

The voice came from his abdomen; without a head, he could still use his Dantian to speak.

Li Yan flashed past and rushed into Gu Gu.

As long as he entered Gu Gu and pressed the mechanism, he could lock the array.

In this way, even Jingxu Daoist himself would not be able to open this mountain-protecting array from the outside!

Li Yan's purpose was clear: to seize the cave, lock the array, and isolate Jingxu Daoist outside.

Seeing Li Yan rushing into the cave, Jingxu Daoist snorted coldly: "Who do I think it is? So it's you, you treacherous disciple who deceives his master and destroys his ancestors!"

"A fool who throws himself into the net!"

Jingxu Daoist was about to chase Li Yan immediately.

At this time, Li Yan, holding the Precious Lotus Lamp, pinched his fingers: "Golden Body Dharma Aspect, arise!"

Two Golden Body Dharma Aspects rose from the ground, blocking Jingxu Daoist.

"Golden Body Dharma Aspect? Interesting!"

"But with your slow-moving things, you want to stop me, your grandmaster?"

The headless Jingxu Daoist exerted force from his abdomen and chanted: "Flesh Gu Technique, Dissection!"

In the next moment, Jingxu Daoist's body actually fell apart.

His limbs and torso separated individually, bypassing the two Golden Body Dharma Aspects directly.

Even though the Golden Body Dharma Aspects blocked most of them, there was still an arm flying towards Li Yan.

That severed arm condensed a strong deathly power in its hand, preparing to strike Li Yan from behind with a Black Tiger Heart Grab.

In the nick of time, a lithe figure flashed past!

Bang!

A woman with a graceful figure appeared, wielding a giant sword.

The woman's giant sword collided with the severed arm, stirring up dust all over the ground, and the sound waves spread outwards visibly.

The person who came was none other than!

The Corpse Puppet Su Mo, whom Li Yan had mobilized!

Although Su Mo did not yet have much cultivation, her body was of the strength of a Blood Pill Realm cultivator.

When Su Mo clashed head-on with that severed arm, she stubbornly blocked Jingxu Daoist's hand outside the barrier.

Her delicate little face gritted her teeth, using all her strength to block Jingxu Daoist.

Her feet sank into the mud, being pushed back little by little.

Just at this critical moment, Li Yan had already rushed into the cave and, relying on Xuan Ye Daoist's memory, pressed the mechanism.

He forcefully pushed the stone button on the wall, and the mountain protection array slowly activated.

As the blood-red light was injected into the ground, the mountain protection array completed its lockdown.

Outside the barrier, Jingxu Daoist's hand was blocked by the mountain protection array.

In this way, Jingxu Daoist's cave had already fallen into Li Yan's hands.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, Li Yan gasped for breath, he grinned as he looked at the outside of the barrier.

This mountain protection array was very sturdy. Once it was locked from the inside, even in Jingxu Daoist's prime, it would be impossible to break it open without several months.

After confirming his safety, Li Yan smiled and cupped his hands in thanks, "Master Ancestor, your cave will be accepted by this junior with a smile."

The heavily injured Jingxu Daoist retracted his limbs back into his main body.

This headless Daoist could only clench his fists and stand outside the barrier, watching Li Yan occupy his cave.

He weakly waved his fist, smashing it against the barrier.

"You little bastard who deceives your master and destroys your ancestors, this old man should have refined you directly back then."

"I originally wanted you to go to Broken Sword Valley to retrieve treasures for this old man, but I didn't expect, ah, I didn't expect! You actually learned real skills in Broken Sword Valley!"

Jingxu Daoist was now full of regret, this kid was just an inconspicuous seedling at the beginning.

He was one of the backup plans that his disciple Xuan Wang used to refine Gu Gu.

Who could have imagined that Li Yan, who was locked in Stone Workshop Eatery, would transform from an inconspicuous Guest Diner into a Blood Moving Realm cultivator in such a short period of time?

He even took advantage of his serious injury to seize his Master Ancestor's cave!

Outrageous!

Jingxu, the old Daoist, punched the barrier a few times with force from the outside.

"Back then, when Xuan Wang picked you up from the mountain, this old man should have pinched you to death immediately and thrown you into the Gu Gu to feed the worms!"

Faced with the impotent rage of Jingxu, the old Daoist, outside, Li Yan picked his ears, indicating that he didn't hear anything.

He turned around and walked into the Gu Gu, "Su Mo, follow me into the cave."

"Yes, Master."

Carrying the Evil Bone Greatsword, which was even bigger than her, Su Mo quickly followed Li Yan.

Li Yan looked at this loyal Corpse Puppet, he asked with a smile, "It must have been hard for you to rush over all the way."

Happily following behind Li Yan, carrying the greatsword, Su Mo showed a sweet smile on her face.

"Don't want to be alone, want to follow Master."

"Following Master, happy."

Before, Li Yan had left her alone in Guanyue Temple, and Su Mo was obviously unhappy.

From the moment she awakened, she had been following Li Yan.

Suddenly having to separate, she seemed to have a kind of separation anxiety.

Until half an hour ago, Li Yan sent her a voice transmission, telling her to hurry over.

The Corpse Puppet Su Mo, who was still sitting blankly in the temple, rushed into the dense forest without saying a word, all the way to Red Leaf Forest, running over to meet up with Li Yan.

When she returned to her master's side again, she was like a child of a few years old, her steps were light, and her face was covered with a sweet smile.

"Is it so happy to be by my side? Look how happy you are, did anyone else notice you on the way?"

Su Mo shook her head and pointed to her chest, "Su Mo, dead, no aura."

It was precisely because she was between life and death that Jingxu Daoist did not notice her existence.

Thinking about it this way, the Corpse Puppet Su Mo, who could not be perceived by others, was simply a top-tier power-type assassin?

But putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, the top priority was to loot Jingxu Daoist's cave.

"Let's go, let's see how many people the old thief has harmed over the years, and how many treasures he has hidden here!"

Li Yan grinned and opened the stone door of the cave in front of him.
