Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 269 The Divine General Displays His Power, Tiger Eggs Steal Treasure

Eerie shadows loomed, and an eerie atmosphere filled the air.

Lin Bonian and Gao Erqiang battled each other high in the sky.

Lin, the head of the Lin family, who had been feigning illness and injury and had not fought for more than a year, was surprisingly vigorous and full of magical powers after being attacked by the evil spirits. He was even able to command three grotesque and malevolent puppets at the same time.

With one person and three puppets, he managed to fight to a standstill against Gao Erqiang, who had devoured the head of the Yuan family, in a short period of time.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield below.

The Lin family members, relying on the formation, commanded a group of puppets and fought fiercely with the lantern monsters.

The lantern monsters are numerous and use bizarre methods. Although the Lin family's monster-type puppets are slightly inferior, the Lin family is based on puppets, so there are naturally many monster-type puppets in the clan. With hundreds of monsters walking at night, devouring evil spirits and exorcising demons, although people die tragically from time to time, the situation can be barely maintained from collapse.

Just as the two battlefields above and below were in complete chaos...

Su Qing's divine sense followed Tiger Egg's vision, passing over the pavilions and towers of the Lin family, the spirit houses scattered all over the ground, and landed in the direction of the Lin family's treasure vault. He secretly thought that after tonight, the Lin family might replace the Wang family and become his, Su Qing's, greatest benefactor.

This isn't just wishful thinking on his part.

But tonight's opportunity is just too good.

The evil Gao Erqiang is only interested in the blood and qi of corpses.

Yunshan Sect was only waiting to accept the Lin family's clan property afterward, never expecting that someone in this immortal city would be so audacious as to get involved in such a battlefield.

But today, Su Qing happened to receive two fourth-tier talisman papers that were about to expire!
No need for itchy skin, just a clear mind!

"Sigh, we're all in the same boat, isn't it a bit too shameless of me to take advantage of this situation!"
"What a sin! What a sin!"

Su Qing silently confessed her guilt, but then excitedly turned her attention to Hu Dan.

The audacious Tiger Egg, following the skills he learned from Xiong Er, led the Golden Armored General and stealthily avoided the main battlefield, heading straight for the Lin family's treasure vault.

Normally, the family treasury is a place of utmost importance, and the Lin family would naturally guard it heavily. Not to mention anything else, two of the three Yaksha generals that Lin Bonian is currently commanding used to be stationed in front of the treasury.

Today, the Lin family is using all its resources to deal with the evil spirits, employing every means at its disposal. They no longer care about any treasure vault.

They never expected that thieves would take advantage of the chaos!
The Lin family's treasure vault, with its lax defenses, was like a naked girl with her door open, allowing the golden-armored general to enter as if it were empty.

The Lin family only realized what was happening when the warning array in front of the treasure vault activated.

"You lowly rogue cultivators, you dare not fight to the death against the Yunshan Sect, yet you dare to run wild in my Lin family! You all stay here and continue to fight, while I will deal with that villain!"

Lin Feng, a third-tier alchemist whose status in the Lin family was second only to Lin Bonian, roared angrily and stormed straight towards the family treasury.

Before leaving the battlefield, he took a moment to look at the sky.

A blood-red, malevolent light filled the sky, and the black, eerie shadow struggled to hold on, clearly on the verge of collapse.

Although he was reluctant, Lin Feng steeled his heart and headed straight for the treasure vault, remembering the instructions the patriarch had given him.

The family's crisis could not be reversed by Lin Feng alone.

According to the patriarch, the clan should fight to the death, let the demon feast, satisfy the Yunshan Sect, and perhaps preserve a few of the clan's remaining members.

He, a third-level alchemist, Lin Song, a foundation-building cultivator and a second-level puppeteer, and three or five other clansmen with decent cultivation levels were the seeds of the family's future!
Knowing there's no way out, they can leave the battlefield and go to the family treasury to share in the family's accumulated wealth. If they can escape this city, this wealth might become the foundation for the Lin family's resurgence.

Therefore, what the other clansmen did not know was that the family treasury was completely unguarded against by anyone tonight!
That early warning array was nothing more than an excuse for these few sparks to escape the battlefield!

Thinking of all the treasures in the family treasury, Lin Feng's slight reluctance and guilt towards the family head and clansmen instantly vanished.

"Faster, faster! I've been refining pills for the family for many years, and I've earned most of the treasure in the treasury. It's all rightfully mine. What right do Lin Song and the other juniors have to compete with me for it!"

What used to be a short journey felt exceptionally long tonight. When he finally rushed into the treasure vault at full speed, the sight that greeted him struck him like a thunderbolt.

Inside the treasure vault, severed limbs and broken bones were scattered everywhere, and countless puppets were damaged.

About a hundred clansmen died in the battle. Most of them had not obtained the clan leader's permission and had sought treasure out of fear of battle; their deaths were not a pity.

However, there were also descendants of the Lin family among them. Unexpectedly, they, who should have died last, died earlier than the other members of the family.

The culprits were a man and a tiger who were ransacking the treasure vault!
"Who dares to bully my Lin family!"

Lin Feng roared and unleashed the spiritual pressure of a Golden Core cultivator, overturning spirit crystals, spirit stones, and countless other materials.

At this moment, he was both angry and happy.

What's infuriating is that some thieves actually dared to take advantage of the chaos.

The good thing is that with these thieves dealing with Lin Song and the others, he can take all the treasure in the vault for himself without any guilt!

How could the thief have imagined that Lin Feng was not only a third-level alchemist, but also a Golden Core cultivator!

The golden-armored general had no idea that the weak cultivator before him, whose aura was only slightly stronger than that of a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, was actually a Golden Core cultivator.

The moment Lin Feng roared, the golden-armored general simply raised his hand and handed over the spear. Although the spear contained divine power and the movement was incredibly fast, the spear was imbued with divine power.

But if the cultivator on the other side was a Golden Core cultivator, he shouldn't have been killed by this spear before he could even use his magic weapons and techniques.

Lin Feng never imagined that he would die so easily.

It's a pity that he was so ambitious. After advancing to the Golden Core stage, he never showed his true colors, for fear of being used as a pawn by the clan leader. It's a pity that he was full of ambition, wanting to swallow up the clan's property and lead the Lin family to rise again.

After that shot, everything seemed to become meaningless.

"No, there's still a chance, there's still a chance! As long as I possess the puppet and use it to revive my soul, there's still a glimmer of hope!"

Lin Feng's soul roared wildly, transforming into a black shadow that darted up and down the treasure vault, trying to find a target to possess.

Before he could even possess the body, he saw the golden-armored general carrying a coffin on his shoulder charging towards him.

The divine light suppressed the coffin, which then seized the soul. As the coffin lid was closed, the coffin was nailed shut.

No matter how much resentment Lin Feng felt, it could only vanish into nothingness at this moment.

Tiger Egg, using what was available, found a box of Soul-Nourishing Pearls in the Lin family's own treasure vault.

This bead can briefly absorb the soul of a living being, making it an essential item for the Lin family's soul-refining techniques and the creation of strange puppets.

Using it to capture Lin Feng's soul at this moment would be just right.

For Su Qing, the fact that Lin Feng was actually a Golden Core cultivator was a pleasant surprise.

Its golden core and soul are not to be missed, and its golden core and Dharma bones are even more priceless.

Having received instructions from Su Qing, Hu Dan packed up Lin Feng, body and soul, and took him away.

The several Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Lin family on the ground, as well as all the puppets in the Lin family's treasure vault, were all smashed by the golden-armored general, who absorbed all their souls into the Spirit Condensation Pearl.

These puppets were all restricted by the Lin family, making them difficult for anyone other than a member of the Lin family to control. This petty and narrow-minded approach left Su Qing unable to utilize these puppets, so he could only smash them and collect the useful materials inside.

As for the spirit stones and crystals, magical artifacts and pills, and the mountain of puppet materials in the treasure vault, they could not escape the tiger egg's clutches and were all swept away.

After doing all this, Tiger Egg let the Golden Armored General go first to draw the Yunshan Sect's firepower, while he himself, under the cover of night, carrying a hundred or so storage bags, silently fled south!
