"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
In the endless void.
Yinyang Qingfan controlled Dongfang Jiangxue's body, carrying the Elder Jian at breakneck speed.
The endless void turbulence retreated rapidly.
Elder Jian looked at the young female cultivator before him, his heart trembling.
"Who exactly is this person? Judging from his condition, he seems to have two souls in one body, just like me."
"The main soul is not subject to its control; the two have different opinions, yet the Law Power effect is emitted by the other soul."
"What kind of technique is this, to be so effective!"
Elder Jian couldn't figure it out, and dared not speak further.
He had only uttered the word "fellow Daoist," yet he had enraged the mysterious woman.
Judging from its appearance, its background is much larger.
"You can tell I had the strength of Venerable in my previous life, yet you won't even address me as 'fellow Daoist.'"
"This woman... could she be a Supreme being?"
" The Supreme left behind by the Central Continent?"
Elder Jian did not know Dongfang Jiangxue's identity, but after some thought, he could roughly guess something.
Back then, he suspected that Ao Qing was deliberately instigated.
There must be a dragon-slaying figure left behind by the forces of the Central Continent.
Now that Lu Li has obtained the Dragon Fate, look at Dongfang Jiangxue's powerful aura.
Without a doubt, he is the one who slew the dragon!
Elder Jian was still lost in thought.
Yinyang Qingfan was already planning in his mind how to make good use of this Venerable's remnant soul.
"A wisp of Venerable's remnant soul is still tainted with Dragon Qi, making its combat strength at least slightly stronger than an ordinary Spirit Transformation."
"If the heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and further aided by the Ao Qing Dragon Pearl, the resulting creature would surely be terrifying!"
"More importantly, this Venerable's remnant soul possesses Dragon Qi and is protected by Lu Li. It is not subject to the suppression of the Western Continent's heaven and earth, so its combat power will not be greatly diminished!"
Yinyang Qingfan became increasingly excited as he thought about it.
His gaze returned to Elder Jian.
" Jian Canglan, is it? Following me is your good fortune."
"Comply obediently, and when I regain my immortal status, you will surely be among my attendants."
Yinyang Qingfan casually uttered a threatening remark.
Then, breaking through the void, he stepped out with Elder Jian.
The two appeared in a valley.
The valley was shrouded by a magic circle, and inside, a chilling wind blew and the place was in complete disarray.
Severed limbs and broken arms were piled up haphazardly.
There were humans and Demon Beast, most of them incomplete, rotten and blackened.
Several unfinished puppets stood crookedly to one side, looking strange.
Some have arms of varying lengths, and some have heads that are disproportionate to their torsos.
The exposed bones at the joints are roughly pieced together with the spiritual materials.
The runes were crooked and uneven, and the light emanating from them came and went.
The air was filled with a pungent stench of decay and acrid burning.
In the corner, a half-human, half-beast puppet suddenly twitched, its head mechanically turning half a circle, its empty eye sockets looking at Elder Jian, before it drooped down again.
Yinyang Qingfan glanced at his masterpiece, his brows furrowing slightly before returning to normal.
She spoke softly.
"The materials were of poor quality, and the craftsmanship was rusty."
"But with you, that's enough."
Yinyang Qingfan was never skilled in the art of puppetry.
His only puppet was a low-level immortal puppet that happened to be left behind from back then.
Over time, the power of the Immortal Puppet has also vanished.
It's barely enough to reach the level of Void Return.
This exploration of the art of puppetry wasn't incredibly difficult for her, but it wasn't easy either.
In addition, they were also influenced by the puppets that Lu Li had created.
She ended up with a hybrid that was neither fish nor fowl.
Neither of them yielded a satisfactory result.
Elder Jian looked at the scene before him, combining it with what Yinyang Qingfan had said.
He was somewhat stunned.
In the chaotic void, he personally heard Yinyang Qingfan say the words "to reaffirm one's immortality."
"A renewed certificate... of immortality?"
"You... may I ask you, sir, no, no, may I ask you, senior..."
Elder Jian stammered, ultimately unable to finish uttering those two words, only pointing blankly to the sky.
The meaning is obvious
He finally understood why the simple term "fellow Daoist" could provoke Yinyang Qingfan.
No wonder, if he really came from above.
This form of address is indeed tantamount to an insult.
This made Elder Jian's gaze even more horrified.
Seeing Elder Jian's reaction, Yinyang Qingfan revealed a cold smile.
This sword cultivator's remnant soul was a bit weak, but his mind was still relatively clear.
He nodded slightly, which was a way of acknowledging Elder Jian's words.
But to everyone's surprise, upon seeing this, the Elder Jian's Divine Soul trembled violently.
"Really, senior, you came down from up there too!"
"This... this could be because of Senior Lu?"
" Senior Lu?"
Yinyang Qingfan's figure suddenly froze.
A strange expression appeared on his face.
If she hadn't misheard, Elder Jian had said "also"!
"You mean... Lu Li also came from the Upper Realm?"
"How dare you deceive me!"
Yinyang Qingfan's expression suddenly changed, and he became furious.
It was as if their proudest identity had been tarnished.
She herself didn't even realize it.
Was the anger due to what Elder Jian said, or because Lu Li's name appeared?
"Get over here!"
Yinyang Qingfan grabbed Elder Jian's Divine Soul, and a powerful pressure surged from the depths of his Divine Soul.
He squeezed hard towards Elder Jian.
It was as if they wanted to crush him alive.
Dongfang Jiangxue did not stop her; she did not want to get involved in these ancient and mysterious stories of Divine Soul.
Elder Jian felt as if he were suddenly on the verge of life and death.
Fortunately, Yinyang Qingfan still possessed reason.
She knew that Elder Jian was useful to her.
Suppressing the urge to search his soul, Yinyang Qingfan's voice was icy.
"Explain yourself clearly, explain to me what you mean."
"If even a single word is wrong, I will search your soul on the spot, even if it means completely crippling you."
As the voice fell, Elder Jian was so overwhelmed by the oppressive aura that he could barely utter a sound.
Only when Yinyang Qingfan slightly reduced his strength was the Elder Jian's Divine Soul able to catch its breath.
That overwhelming pressure almost extinguished his sanity.
"Senior... why are you forcing me like this?"
"What do I mean? Don't you understand, senior?"
"I don't need to tell you what Senior Lu's status is. Can't you tell?"
"Even if I'm talking nonsense, in this small Western Continent, Senior Lu is here... and you're here too. What is this? Is this really just a coincidence?"
Elder Jian's tone carried a hint of barely suppressed anger.
They were treated like mosquitoes, being pinched and manipulated.
Even though he was afraid of death, he still got angry.
Comparing Lu Li's manners and conduct, Elder Jian could only wonder how there could be such a vast difference between two great cultivators from the Upper Realm.
Little did they know, after he finished speaking...
Yinyang Qingfan stood there, stunned, without uttering a sound for a long time.
A sudden boom in my mind!
Yes, Lu Li's behavior and puppet-making skills are extremely extraordinary.
Even the established power structure and system of the Dao Court are different from those of other powers in this realm.
She had previously considered that Lu Li had an extraordinary background.
Although we can't guess the specifics, we can attest to which branch of the family's remaining bloodline it originated from and ended up here.
They trapped themselves in a blind spot.
But now it seems...
Dragon Qi, proving the Dragon Fate, taking control of the Western Continent, and even dealing with enemies—it all seems like a deliberate scheme.
Yes, what a coincidence!
How could she be from the Western Continent? Western Continent the only place that has produced such a prodigy.
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Having witnessed too many schemes and too many causes and effects, Yinyang Qingfan's lips trembled, his thoughts in turmoil.
She suddenly remembered the four-character sacred edict she had obtained after comprehending the principles of Yin-Yang School.
"Positioned in the east... perhaps 'east' has another meaning!"
