Reunion After a Long Separation

Not long after, Qin Yu and Qian Xu returned to the Demon Puppet Sect.

Upon his return, Qin Yu discovered three problems.

First, why are there so many corpses in this square? Don't they find it unlucky?

Secondly, everyone had heavy dark circles under their eyes and looked extremely tired, as if they were about to collapse at any moment. Is that acceptable?

third...

Can't they just dispose of those failed, defective puppets?!

They're piled up like a mountain!

"Hey? Bro? You guys are back so soon?"

Huh! Where did this giant panda come from?

Qian Xunji had dark circles under her eyes that were heavier than everyone else's combined, and her voice was weak, which made Qin Yu feel uneasy.

He won't just suddenly die right in front of me, will he?

At this moment, Qian Xunji was also a little confused, not because of anything else, but simply because she was exhausted.

He only remembered that Qian Xu had been gone for about half a year. In such a short time, could Qin Yu have failed in his breakthrough?

"Hey bro, don't be impatient. If you don't break through this time, there's always another chance, right?"

"Father, are you getting senile? Mr. Qin has already broken through to the Dou Venerable!"

Qian Xun was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore, and Qin Yu also casually took out a bottle of medicine to relieve fatigue and boost energy.

As soon as the bottle was opened, a pleasant fragrance wafted out, and Qian Xunji regained some of her composure, no longer feeling as drowsy as before.

"Oh dear, look at my head! My apologies, my apologies."

"It's okay, but... can you explain what's going on?"

Qin Yu ignored that and instead pointed to the corpses lying haphazardly in the square and asked.

"Well, to talk about this, we have to go back a few months. We caught a Soul Hall Protector who had only recently joined the Hall of Souls."

"To save his own life, that guy taught us the Hall of Souls's special method for imprisoning souls, and then..."

Alright, Qin Yu could already foresee how the rest of the story would unfold.

"I brought back all those who had past grudges with the Demon Puppet Sect, then extracted their souls and randomly matched them with bodies."

Hey, this guy's learning pretty well, he's following the same path as Qin Yu.

However, Qian Xunji has far more materials here than Qin Yu did back then!

"Then why are there still so many corpses here?"

"We don't have enough materials."

Qian Xunji blushed. He had been so focused on killing people that he had forgotten about another important material for refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet: the Seventh-Tier Magical Core!

After killing the people and bringing them back to the Demon Puppet Sect, they discovered, to their dismay, that they didn't have enough Seventh-Tier Magical Core!

Even if you go out and find someone to buy them, you won't be able to collect them all in a short time!

"You... you're amazing."

Now that things had come to this, Qin Yu didn't know what to say.

"Let's not talk about that, brother. Come with me. Your two confidantes have been waiting for you for ages."

Qian Xunji seized the opportunity and promptly ended the conversation.

"Yes, thank you for this."

"Hey, no, no, just for the fact that you brought the Heavenly Demon Puppet Demon Puppet Sect, even if the person in charge back then was the Ice Venerable, we wouldn't be afraid at all!"

Qian Xunji waved his hand, then took out a puppet with a body that shimmered with golden light from his Storage Ring.

"Look, this is the Heavenly Demon Puppet I crafted using the body and soul of Dou Venerable, plus an Eighth-Tier Magic Core. Its strength is comparable to an ordinary Four-Star Dou Venerable!"

"Even if we really go to war with that Ice River Valley, we are not afraid!"

I have to say, using good materials really saves a lot of trouble.

Qin Yu remembered that Xiao Yan later also turned the North Dragon King of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan into a puppet, whose strength was comparable to a five- Dou Sheng!

Before long, Qin Yu followed Qian Xunji to a secluded pavilion and sensed two familiar auras.

"Hey bro, you guys chat, I'm off!"

The moment Qian Xunji left, two figures, one in green and one in purple, suddenly flew out of the pavilion.

Qin Yu felt a sharp pain in his chest as a voluptuous body crashed into his arms.

"Sister Yun Yun, look at you! You run even faster than me! And you had the nerve to say that about me before!"

Xiao Yi Xian stopped half a zhang in front of Qin Yu, looked at the two embracing each other, and couldn't help but purse her lips.

"I can't say one thing but mean another?"

Yun Yun didn't care about any of that. Overjoyed at the long-awaited reunion, she clung tightly to the man in front of her, unwilling to let go for a long time.

Not only did she hug him, but Yun Yun also rubbed against Qin Yu's chest, making a few kitten-like purring sounds.

"You two... have swapped souls?"

"Let's go inside and talk."

Xiao Yi Xian rolled her eyes at him helplessly, and then the group went into the pavilion together.

Once inside the attic, Yun Yun not only didn't let go of Qin Yu's hand, but also wrapped her arms around his neck and leaped up, her two long, slender legs wrapping around his waist.

"Darling, I miss you so much."

Tsk, what a nickname...

Qin Yu looked down and met Yun Yun as she lightly licked her lips, instantly understanding everything.

"Um, me too."

Just then, Xiao Yi Xian, who was standing to the side, stopped pretending and stepped forward. Yun Yun took the opportunity to let go of one of her arms, making room for her.

Hmm, looks like I need to take care of the important matters first.

So Qin Yu waved his hand and set up multiple barriers to isolate perception. It took him two days to finally "struggle" to solve the most urgent matter at hand.

"Now you can tell me, right?"

Two days later, Qin Yu finally asked the two women about what had happened during that time.

Xiao Yi Xian is now Six-Star Dou Zong, and after two days of "conversation," Qin Yu has confirmed that the seal on the Woeful Poison Body is still intact.

However, as Xiao Yi Xian's strength increased, the seal loosened slightly.

To Qin Yu's surprise, Yun Yun had also reached the Five-Star Dou Zong realm, only one level below Xiao Yi Xian.

It should be noted that Xiao Yi Xian possesses the Woeful Poison Body, so Yun Yun's Xiao Yi Xian without being left behind must indicate that she had some kind of opportunity.

"So... is it because of the Life-and-Death Gate?"

After some explanation, Qin Yu finally understood everything.

It turns out that after Yun Yun broke through to the Dou Zong, she felt the active summons of the Life-and-Death Gate, so she entered it and obtained the inheritance of Yun Potian, the founder of the Misty Cloud Sect.

Although Nalan Yanran Nalan Yanran previously entered the Life-and-Death Gate for training, she only obtained a small portion of the inheritance and a high-level Dou Technique.

This time, Yun Yun not only received Yun Potian's complete inheritance, but also transformed her cultivation technique into the High Earth Tier technique that Yun Potian used to cultivate!

This cultivation technique is extremely difficult to master; even Yun Potian back then couldn't truly master it.

Later, the Misty Cloud Sect gradually declined. Before his death, Yun Potian felt that no one in the sect could inherit the technique, so he put it away, set up the Life-and-Death Gate, and waited for a qualified successor to appear.

"High Earth Tier... Yun Potian is quite a character."
