Qi Maigu's astonishment was far from over. After Li Chen deftly disguised a Chang Clan Soldier as an unfamiliar Foundation Establishment cultivator, the soldier seemed to spring to life, stripping off its ordinary armor on its own and changing into a loose Daoist robe.
Number One Avatar Nie Fengting!
Li Chen then repeated the process, disguising another puppet, which promptly became Second Avatar Master Artisan Yang!
To avoid trouble, the current Nie Fengting and Master Artisan Yang no longer resembled those two men from the Qi Family Army. Instead, they wore entirely different, unfamiliar faces, borrowing only their personas.
After that came another newly disguised puppet: the Third Avatar, another Master Artisan Yang with the same surname!
Li Chen also summoned Xiao Die and Xiao Ying, his two subordinates. Together with himself and Qi Maigu, a full seven figures exuding Foundation Establishment auras gathered in one place.
Next, Li Chen simply brought out his own original body as well, swapped its head with the Puppet Chassis's, and assembled another Great Avatar.
Thus, an eighth Foundation Establishment cultivator appeared.
That was not all. Li Chen brought out the Fourth Avatar, whose modeling he had only recently completed. It was none other than Wushi Yan, who was being held prisoner in the camp!
"Fellow Daoist Li, this... this is..."
This avatar's craftsmanship was far finer than that of the other hastily assembled avatars. It was a false human puppet painstakingly prepared using Knead Clay, Transform Flesh. Its appearance, expression, and aura all possessed a realism much closer to that of a living person.
Even Qi Maigu had to admit that he could not tell the difference.
But seeing how thoroughly prepared Li Chen looked, a strange suspicion suddenly arose in his mind.
"As you can see, fellow Daoist, this is Wushi Yan."
