Si Lei Zhenjun

“…” Chu Xing was speechless for a moment, his eyes wandering.

"Why are you silent?" Jiang Lihuo stepped forward and said, "If you don't explain the reason to me today, I will definitely punish you for colluding with the Demon Sect!"

"Princess, please listen to my explanation," Chu Xing said earnestly, thinking quickly:

"Over a thousand years ago, the Thousand Puppet Sect was a righteous sect. Unlike the other four demonic sects, most of its members did not practice demonic arts. The reason they became demonic cultivators was simply because they learned the corpse-refining technique and, after years of interacting with corpses, became infused with corpse qi."

"Now that Kui Nantian, the ringleader of the Thousand Puppet Sect's corpse-refining methods, has been apprehended, there's no need to exterminate them. We can guide them to abandon the corpse-refining methods and return to the righteous sect. It won't be too late to settle accounts with them for their past crimes then. Those who deserve to be killed will be killed, and those who deserve to be punished will be punished."

"This will not only weaken the Demon Sect's strength, but also expand the manpower of our righteous sect. Isn't this much more beneficial to us than if you racked your brains to wipe them out? After all, there are still over 10,000 cultivators in the Thousand Puppet Sect. If your troops were to fight them in a bloody battle, many would surely die."

Chu Xing could not tell the other party about the life contract signed with the White Bone Demon Princess and the fact that he took Qi Wufeng as his master.

Otherwise, based on his understanding of this woman, she would definitely use this to control herself.

Jiang Lihuo frowned and thought for a while, then looked at him intently and said:

"Are you sure?"

In recent years, under the joint suppression of the imperial court and the eight immortal sects, the five major demonic sects dared not show up openly at all and only dared to use tricks in secret. They were no longer a concern.

However, although the territory of the Dali Dynasty was vast, it did not completely conquer the continent.

In addition to the internal threat of the five major demonic sects.

To the west of the Dali Dynasty is a vast demon realm with eight demon kings in the tribulation period.

Except for a few who are friendly to the human race, the other demon kings are all eyeing the Dali Dynasty.

There are a large number of sea creatures in the endless sea area east of the Dali Dynasty, and many of them have the strength to cross the tribulation period.

Although there has been no aggression between the two dynasties and there have been few frictions over the years, we still have to be on guard.

South of the Dali Dynasty is an ancient and deep forest, deep in which lives a mysterious tribe - the Witch Clan.

Although the people of the Wu clan have always been peaceful and rarely go out, the witchcraft they are good at is extremely evil and vicious.

Every time the members of the Wu Clan appeared in the territory of the Dali Dynasty, a bloody storm was inevitable.

Not to mention the barbarians in the northern cold land of the Dali Dynasty. They eat raw meat and drink blood and are brutal by nature.

They have always harbored great malice towards humans and love to eat human women and children.

He was completely cornered because he was being hunted by the Dali Dynasty, so he had to enter the extremely cold land.

"Princess, please follow me. I'll show you a treasure." Chu Xingxing led the way.

"What treasure can't be seen here?" Jiang Lihuo followed and looked at him suspiciously.

"My baby is bigger!"

……

"Is this the treasure you want to show me?"

In a wide open space in the northeast corner, Jiang Lihuo looked at the huge silver puppet in front of him in astonishment.

"How is it? Have you never seen such a big puppet?" Chu Xing looked proud.

"Da Huang Feng?" Jiang Lihuo's eyes were filled with disdain. "This is the first time I've seen someone name a puppet, and it's such a vulgar name."

"Don't worry about these details," Chu Xing waved his hand and boasted:

"This is a new type of puppet that can achieve the unity of man and puppet. I provided the idea and it was meticulously crafted by Qi Wufeng, the puppet master of the generation, my master!"

"Have you found your conscience and changed your master?" Jiang Lihuo looked amused.

Chu Xing realized that he had let something slip in his pride and hurriedly explained:

"Nominally, a little genius like me would definitely be sought after as a disciple in the Qiangui Sect. In order to keep my identity private, it would be perfectly reasonable for me to become a disciple, right?"

"You are the little genius?" Jiang Lihuo mocked:

"The eight great sects are about to open their doors to recruit a new batch of disciples. This means that you haven't reached the Golden Core stage in nine years. Many of the young talents of your age in our royal family have already reached the Nascent Soul stage."

"I only see that your spirit is slightly stronger than those of your peers, and you've also practiced the art of physical cultivation. However, your physical cultivation realm is only at the late third realm. Otherwise, I really can't see where your talent lies."

Chu Xing patted Big Yellow Wind and said unconvincedly:

"This realm doesn't mean anything. Princess, don't you see my great treasure? A late Nascent Soul puppet!"

"A puppet is ultimately an external force, and how long can you control this late Nascent Soul puppet with your spiritual sense?" Jiang Lihuo retorted.

Chu Xing realized that this woman just wanted to hurt him, and he was too lazy to argue with her:

"Ah, right, right! It's okay if I'm not a little genius, right?"

Jiang Lihuo frowned slightly, obviously quite unhappy with his perfunctory attitude:

"Hmph, I don't see what's so special about your puppet. Not only that, it was mixed with Ruyi Gengjin during its refining. I imagine it cost at least two million spirit stones to refine it? You spent so many spirit stones just to create a puppet in the late Nascent Soul stage. Do you have so many spirit stones that you can't spend them all?"

Chu Xing's expression froze. "Hey, this is a gift from my cheap master. I didn't spend any spirit stones myself."

With a thought, he opened the hatch and continued:

"Princess, you see, its greatest advantage is that you can hide inside the puppet. You don't have to worry about being attacked when fighting. And other people's puppets don't have to be so huge. I do this purely out of personal preference."

"I've already had people promote this new type of puppet within the White Bone Palace, and the results are quite good. I believe that as long as we persist in promoting it, the Thousand Puppet Sect will gradually abandon the corpse refining method and switch to refining this new type of puppet."

"As long as the princess personally extends an olive branch to White Bone Demon Lady and Zuo Qishan, I believe they will not refuse to lead the Thousand Puppet Sect back to the right path. After all, hiding like rats in the gutter is not an easy life."

Jiang Lihuo's lips curled up into a faint smile, "It seems that you have really put a lot of effort into the position of the leader of the Thousand Puppet Sect!"

Chu Xing's face was filled with righteousness. "Princess, what are you talking about? I do this entirely to promote righteousness, without any selfish motives. This Thousand Puppet Sect leader is not even a dog, is he?"

Jiang Lihuo burst out laughing:

"You've already been a cuckold, so what's the harm in being a dog again?"

"..." Chu Xing was silent for a moment, looked up at the sky, and muttered, "Then...I wasn't the first to be a little bastard."

As soon as he finished speaking, a small foot suddenly appeared on his shoe.

"Can you say it again?"

"I'm incompetent." Chu Xing said in a low voice with confidence.

Jiang Lihuo retracted her feet and rolled her eyes at him:

"How long do you expect this to take?"
