The Immortal Shows the Way

Qin Yu circled the Earth Demon Puppet once, then raised his hand, made a cut on his fingertip, squeezed out a drop of blood, and flicked it towards the puppet's brow.

The blood was absorbed the moment it fell, and the Earth Demon Puppet's eyes suddenly lit up with a dark red, ferocious light.

The recognition of God is complete.

"Come on, throw a few punches and let me see."

The puppet moved at the sound of the command, casually throwing a punch that instantly created a deep crater in the rock wall several meters away.

Qin Yu nodded, then directed the Earth Demon Puppet to unleash several sets of fist techniques.

After verifying it, Qin Yu nodded in satisfaction.

This Earth Demon Puppet is no less powerful than the old Earth Demon Old Ghost at his peak.

With the combat power of Six-Star Dou Zong, coupled with a steel body that feels no pain, he could even put up a fight against Seven-Star Dou Zong.

Moreover, after this complete refining process, Qin Yu has gained an extremely thorough understanding of the entire procedure.

The time required to craft the puppet next time will be reduced by at least one-third, and the technique will be more precise.

Qin Yu stored the Earth Demon Puppet in his Storage Ring and sped off towards the Jia Nan Academy.

"Um?"

Upon returning to the Inner Academy, Qin Yu immediately sensed something was amiss.

In the past, this time of day was the liveliest time in the Inner Academy.

But at this moment, Qin Yu looked around and saw few people. Occasionally a few students would walk by, but they were all walking in a hurry and even talking in hushed tones.

An inexplicable sense of oppression permeated the air.

Qin Yu frowned slightly, and his soul power quickly spread out, capturing several familiar auras.

Su Qian and the others were gathered at his residence.

Without hesitation, he flashed away in that direction.

As soon as he landed, he saw Yun Yun, Xiao Yi Xian, Zi Yan in the courtyard, while Su Qian looked solemn.

"Qin Yu! You're finally back!"

Zi Yan was the first to see him and was about to pounce on him when Yun Yun stopped her.

Yun Yun glanced at Qin Yu without saying a word, but the meaning in her eyes was clear: something had happened.

Qin Yu walked to the stone table and sat down, looking at Su Qian.

Su Qian didn't exchange pleasantries and went straight to the point:

"While you were in seclusion refining the puppet, Han Feng made some moves."

"His Feng Alliance, citing the successive destructions of Demon Flame Valley and Evil Bone Sect, has gathered a large number of people, and its power is growing."

Su Qian snorted coldly after saying this.

"Recently, they have had several small-scale clashes with the academy, all caused by members of the Feng Alliance provoking trouble on the borders of the academy's sphere of influence."

"Although they were pushed back, judging from the other side's posture... this time, Han Feng seems genuinely determined to fight the academy."

After listening, Qin Yu frowned slightly and quickly went over Su Qian's words in his mind again.

He felt that something was off.

The Feng Alliance's apparent strength is indeed formidable, boasting the long-established Black Emperor Sect, as well as the Gold and Silver Elders, and Peak Dou Emperor- level experts like Fan Lao.

Even if we include Mo Tianxing from the Black Emperor Sect, it's still just a combination of several three-star Four-Star Dou Zong.

With this kind of strength, they think they can take down Jia Nan Academy, which has consecutively destroyed Demon Flame Valley and Evil Bone Sect?

If Han Feng isn't stupid, he should be able to figure out the cost of this.

But he did it anyway, and not only did he do it, he did it in a grand and aggressive manner.

Qin Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Han Feng dares to be so arrogant, could it be...?

Have you brought the people from the Hall of Souls here?

"Have any new faces appeared at the Feng Alliance recently?"

The room fell silent as soon as Qin Yu said this.

The group looked at each other, and finally shook their heads.

Do you have any thoughts?

Qin Yu stood up and slowly paced around the room.

He didn't think that the so-called "alliance" would be very reliable in a place like Black-Corner Region.

Although the current situation is special, who can guarantee that when a fight actually breaks out, these people won't do something like shielding others in front of them?

Afterwards, Su Qian shared some more information with Qin Yu.

"Wait, Elder, do you mean that Mo Tianxing has never left Black Emperor City except for the time he officially joined the Feng Alliance?"

During the conversation, Qin Yu suddenly caught a key point.

Su Qian paused for a moment, then nodded:

"As far as we know, no. The Black Emperor Sect and the Feng Alliance communicate through an elder at the Peak Dou Emperor."

Qin Yu's lips curled up slightly; just as he had expected.

Mo Tianxing not to leave Black Emperor City indicates that he had no intention of truly fighting the academy to the death.

He just wanted to take sides and make a statement, so that if Han Feng could actually get some benefits, he could get a share.

And what about Han Feng? He knows perfectly well that he doesn't have enough cards to play, yet he's still being so high-profile...

Either he's gone mad, or he does have powerful backers, but they haven't arrived yet, and he needs to maintain appearances first.

Qin Yu raised his head and explained his analysis in detail:

"In other words, the Feng Alliance may look intimidating now, but it's actually just a bunch of scattered soldiers who haven't had a chance to truly band together."

"If we cut off a few key members before they've fully bonded... this alliance will soon fall apart on its own."

Su Qian understood Qin Yu's meaning, her brows relaxed slightly, but then furrowed again:

"You intend to attack the Black Emperor Sect?"

"Right."

"But... that old turtle Mo Tianxing is incredibly cunning."

"No problem, I have a clever plan."

Having said that, Qin Yu turned to look at Xiao Yi Xian, a playful smile on his face:

"Xian'er, help me prepare a poison strong enough to incapacitate Dou Emperor, but not the lethal kind."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Yun exchanged a glance, both seeing the understanding in each other's eyes.

The poison that brought down Dou Emperor was clearly not intended for Mo Tianxing.

But if Qin Yu intends to use this thing against Mo Tianxing, then the answer is obvious.

Mo Ya.

Mo Tianxing's precious son is currently only Three-Star Dou Emperor, the same realm as Xiao Yi Xian. If something were to happen to him, would Mo Tianxing still be able to sit idly by?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi Xian immediately turned and left, and Qin Yu also briefly explained his plan to Su Qian and the others.

"Hmm... Although it goes against human nature, we don't need to worry too much about dealing with them."

"The Elder is very generous."

A short while later, Xiao Yi Xian returned with a small jade bottle and handed it to Qin Yu.

"Alright, this is a colorless and odorless poison. Whether ingested, smelled, or touched, anyone below the level of Five-Star Dou Emperor will fall into a coma and remain unconscious, the kind that wouldn't wake up even if their limbs were cut off."

Alright.

Qin Yu took the jade bottle and put it in his pocket, then kissed Xiao Yi Xian hard on the cheek before waving to the crowd:

"Wait for my good news. Tell the students at the academy to be careful these days."

After saying that, Qin Yu turned and walked outside.

Zi Yan called out from behind:

"Are you going alone?"

"That's enough, there's still the Earth Demon Puppet."

Before he finished speaking, Qin Yu's figure had already disappeared at the courtyard gate.

The courtyard was quiet for a moment.

"Alright, let's wait for good news from this kid. I reckon his newly crafted puppet is quite powerful."

After a while, Su Qian sighed softly and left with Hu Gan and Wu Zun.

Xiao Yi Xian was still touching the spot where she had just been kissed, and Yun Yun's gaze made her face turn bright red.

As for Zi Yan...

She was racking her brains, trying to piece together Qin Yu's plan bit by bit.

Wow! Qin Yu is so naughty!

Only after Zi Yan had sorted everything out and turned around did she realize that there was no one around her anymore.
