Xiuxian: I have an inventory

Chapter 153: Fighting the Puppet Evil King

"Brother Bai, you didn't calculate something bad and you won't tell us, right?"

Gu Zongyuan felt a little unsure because of Xiao Changqing's eyes and thoughtful expression.

After divination, he felt that Xiao Changqing had obviously become much more cautious, and even gave him the illusion that he wanted to withdraw at any time and not participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Puppet Evil King!

It shouldn't be so unpredictable, right?

"No...I just suddenly thought of something and felt a little confused."

Xiao Changqing turned to look at Liu Ke and asked, "Fellow Daoist Liu, do many people know about this Liu family spirit beast that is good at tracking?"

The head of the Liu family was also a smart man. He immediately understood Xiao Changqing's implication when he heard this and replied, "This is not a secret. The top leaders of the ten major families and major forces in Liyang Xiancheng know about this. After all, this is also a means for my Liu family to deter the villains, so that my Liu family members can reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble when they are traveling outside. However, outside of Liyang Xiancheng, few people know about this."

"Moreover, the most important thing is that even in Liyang Immortal City, many cultivators know that this special spiritual beast of our Liu family is good at tracking, but no one knows how to break the tracking. Even if it is a Jindan Zhenren, unless there is an extremely strong concealment spell, it will still be exposed."

Gu Zongyuan nodded upon hearing this and said, "Brother Bai, you worry too much. This Puppet Evil King is not from Liyang Immortal City. He has hardly shown any traces near Liyang Immortal City before. It should be the auction held not long ago that attracted him here. So he probably doesn't know that the Liu family has this spirit beast that is good at tracking, and he doesn't know how to cover it up..."

After hearing the explanation, Xiao Changqing's doubts were not dispelled.

If the Puppet Evil King didn't know that the Liu family had a spirit beast that was good at tracking, this matter would be explainable.

But if the Puppet Evil King knew about this, even if he didn't know how to conceal his breath, but after robbing and killing the Liu family disciples, he did not escape quickly, but still stayed not far from the Immortal City, then this matter would not be so simple.

This is tantamount to deliberately letting the Liu family encircle and suppress him!
And behind the Liu family is Gu Zongyuan, which is no secret in Liyang Fairy City.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, does the Liu family have any enemies? The kind of enemies that are life and death..."

Xiao Changqing asked meaningfully.

"This..." Liu Ke hesitated for a moment and did not answer directly. Instead, he glanced at Gu Zongyuan first.

Gu Zongyuan waved his hand and said directly: "Brother Bai is one of us, there is nothing wrong with it. The major forces in Liyang Immortal City are intertwined, and there are people behind every resource and channel. If you want to become one of the top ten families in this situation, and rank high, you will inevitably have conflicts with other forces. As for the biggest enemy of the Liu family, it must be the Song family..."

Song family?

Xiao Changqing was somewhat surprised to hear this answer.

If it was the Song family...

"The Song family and the Liu family are enemies, so what about Master Blood Crow?" Xiao Changqing asked tentatively again.

Gu Zongyuan still did not hide anything and said openly: "The Song family can reach this point today, and Master Xue Ya has made an indelible contribution. So even though the Song family knew that Master Xue Ya's nephew He Yuan was a useless piece of mud and was also lustful, they still let the eldest daughter of the Song family, Song Ping'er, marry He Yuan..."

"The Liu family and the Song family are enemies, and the relationship between me and Master Blood Crow can barely be considered a 'competitive' relationship."

"Of course, whether it's me or Master Blood Crow, even if there is a conflict of interest, we won't expose it openly. At most, we will do some small things in secret, and we will be friendly on the surface."

"Speaking of which, this is why I wanted to win you over when I didn't know your true strength."

Xiao Changqing nodded to show that he understood.

If there really is a change in the encirclement and suppression of the Puppet Evil King today, and someone is deliberately setting up a trap to lure the Liu family or Gu Zongyuan into the trap, it is most likely the Song family and True Man Blood Crow. Then Xiao Changqing, who originally wanted to find an excuse to retreat, will have to change his mind.

Take advantage of the situation!

It just so happens that both the Song family and True Man Blood Crow are on his little notebook, and he is on the blacklist of people he will find an opportunity to eliminate!

If we can take this opportunity to eliminate Blood Crow Master and the Song family's top fighters in one fell swoop, it would be a blessing in disguise!
Over the past two months, Xiao Changqing has been secretly trying to find out the news about Blood Crow Master, trying to see if there is any chance for him to take action.

"Brother Bai, you don't think that this time the Puppet Evil King might be related to the Song family and Blood Crow Immortal?" Gu Zongyuan said with a smile.

In her opinion, the Song family and the Liu family might fight to the death.

If he and True Man Blood Crow had not restrained each other, the two families would have long been incompatible due to conflicting interests.

But precisely because of him and True Man Blood Crow's presence, the Song and Liu families would try their best to restrain themselves.

As for the Song family and True Man Blood Crow joining forces with the Puppet Evil King to take action against him and the Liu family, that is even more impossible!
He is the commander of the Liyang Guard and the most beloved disciple of his master.

Not to mention the cooperation of Li Yangwei, Master Xue Ya and the Song family couldn't do anything to him.

Even if True Man Blood Crow took the Three-Line Jade Dew Pill this time and successfully broke through to the middle stage of the Core Formation stage, the Song family and True Man Blood Crow would not dare to attack him even if they had the courage!
Unless they are so crazy and insane, they don't want to live anymore!
"I guess I'm overthinking it."

Xiao Changqing smiled.

He trusted his instincts, and the feeling of being on edge when he left the city was no illusion.

If it was something else, even if the risk was small, Xiao Changqing would not be willing to take the risk and might just find an excuse to let Gu Zongyuan go back home.

But if he could take the opportunity to eliminate the Song family's top leaders and True Man Blood Crow, then Xiao Changqing was willing to take this risk.

Anyway, judging from the hexagram, it is not a bad sign, there will just be some twists and turns and surprises.

This means that his life will not be in danger, and at most he will just have to spend a little more energy.

With Xiao Changqing's current strength, it is indeed difficult for him to encounter anyone who can threaten him in Liyang Immortal City.

Except for Gu Zongyuan's master, Li Yang Zhenren, Xiao Changqing has nothing to fear.

According to the feedback from Liu Ke's spirit beast, the Puppet Evil King was probably lurking about three hundred miles away from the Immortal City.

Although Gu Zongyuan's flying boat is not big, it has reached the third level and flies at an extremely fast speed.

In less than half an hour, they were close to their destination. "It's in the mountains ahead."

The flying boat stopped in front of a not-so-high mountain range, and a group of twenty-one people filed out.

Above the head of Liu Ke, the patriarch of the Liu family, a special bird-like spirit beast that looked like an oversized seal was fluttering its wings. It was the spirit beast that the Liu family was best at tracking.

“Brother Bai, let’s follow the countermeasures we discussed before. I will be in the front to resist the puppet army head-on, and you will be in charge of performing the secret technique of the soul to contain it. Try to restrain your breath, and it would be best if you can form an encirclement first to prevent them from escaping if they get the wrong idea…” Gu Zongyuan ordered in a deep voice.

As the commander of Liyang Guard, he was naturally responsible for command when he went out on missions.

"it is good……"

Xiao Changqing was about to nod, but suddenly raised his head and looked not far away, and couldn't help but said: "It seems that it is not necessary."

Not far away, they saw a figure flying towards them.

This man is tall, with a rough face and a pair of eyes like copper bells that are very recognizable.

It was none other than the notorious Puppet Evil King in the immortal cultivation world of Dayu!
"Formation!"

Gu Zongyuan reacted quickly as well. His eighteen cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage dispersed and formed a huge encirclement. At the same time, each of them had a special set of magical weapons, which quickly surrounded the Puppet Evil King.

The Puppet Evil King did not show any panic on his face when faced with the actions of the crowd, nor did he have any intention of escaping.

A pair of tiger eyes looked back and forth at everyone with interest: "Li Yangwei, Patriarch Chen, you really came to our door..."

Gu Zongyuan said coldly: "Evil Puppet Lord, this is interesting. It seems that you robbed and killed the Chen family's team on purpose to lure us into taking the bait."

"Commander Gu is not stupid. He finally reacted. But now, it's a bit late." The Puppet Evil King's eyes lingered on Xiao Changqing, and asked with interest: "This, if I'm not mistaken, is Bai Wuji?"

Xiao Changqing smiled and asked, "Do you still know me?"

"Of course I have heard of it. How could I not have heard of the cultivator who has been the most powerful in Liyang Immortal City in the past six months?" The Puppet Evil King was not surprised but happy, saying: "I originally thought it was at most killing two birds with one stone, but I didn't expect it to be three birds with one stone!"

Gu Zongyuan's face turned completely gloomy.

Now that things have come to this, I'm afraid it's really as Xiao Changqing guessed before he came here, the Puppet Evil King robbed and killed the Chen family team on purpose.

The drunkard's real intention is not to drink, his fundamental purpose is to target him and the head of the Chen family!

But who is behind this evil puppet king?
Could it really be Master Blood Crow and the Song family?

Are they so brave?

Although he was shocked and angry, Gu Zongyuan did not lose his mind and shouted immediately: "Do it!"

At the same time, he sent a message to Xiao Changqing: "Brother Bai, please go all out! I miscalculated this matter. This Puppet Evil King may really have a partner behind him. For now, the only way to take him down or kill him directly before his companions show up is to be in our best interests."

The words fell to the ground.

boom!
Under the command of Gu Zongyuan, the eighteen Liyang guards who had formed a battle formation simultaneously activated their magic power and sacrificed their sets of magic weapons, immediately forming an entire encirclement, as if forming an area isolated from the outside world.

In this area, the temperature suddenly rose, flames billowed, all the grass and trees were instantly ignited, and even the rocks seemed to be burned and melted.

If an ordinary foundation-building cultivator, even if he has reached the late stage of foundation-building or even perfected his foundation, is trapped in this formation, he will probably be refined and reduced to ashes in a short while.

"Liyang Guards are indeed worthy of their reputation."

The Puppet Evil King was in the sea of ​​fire and his expression could not help but change.

But he just raised a blue flag, and as his magic power surged, circles of blue waves formed around him, as if he was in the sea, blocking all the scorching flames and suppressive force.

The quality of this flag has reached the third level, and it is a magic weapon!

Of course, it is not a life-saving magic weapon, but with the power of the third level and its water attribute, it can just resist the battle formation of Li Yangwei.

This person really came prepared!

However, this alone is not enough.

If it is just a third-tier water magic weapon, but the operator has only the foundation-building cultivation level and his magic power is not strong enough, it is impossible to truly unleash the power of the third-tier magic weapon.

Therefore, they were unable to resist the formation formed by Gu Zongyuan and the eighteen Liyang Guards.

“Puppet Evil Lord, you have really reached the fake pill realm!” Gu Zongyuan shouted in a deep voice.

“Commander Gu doesn’t seem surprised. He has already guessed it.” The Puppet Evil King manipulated the blue flag magic weapon and was able to cope with it easily even though the eighteen Liyang Guards were still launching attacks and giant flaming snakes were biting towards him. Puppets kept appearing around him to block all the attacks.

Each of his puppet legions is of the second-grade superior quality, and can rely on their puppet bodies to directly fight against cultivators in the late stage of foundation building.

Therefore, in this fire formation, ordinary foundation-building cultivators would not be able to survive without powerful defensive treasures. However, for puppets made of hard materials, the threat is much reduced.

buzz~
At this moment, Xiao Changqing took action.

The Nine Autumn Flute combined with the Nine Autumn Secret Technique formed a spiritual attack that was like a series of sharp blades as thin as a cicada's wing, slashing towards the soul of the Puppet Evil King in the battle formation.

Immediately, the Puppet Evil King, who had been responding with ease and smoothness, slowed down his movements.

"good chance!"

When Gu Zongyuan saw this, his eyes lit up, and without the slightest hesitation, he immediately summoned a magical spear that was burning with blazing flames, and with endless sharpness and burning power, he stabbed it fiercely at the Puppet Evil King.
