Chapter 887.
Chapter 887.
The Scorpion Woman, frightened and angry, struggled uncontrollably in Xu Chuniang’s hands, but was never able to break free from her grasp.
She forced her heart to hold back her fear and questioned, “I submit to Lord Wuzha, you dare to mess with me, don’t you want to die?”
Yan Yu tamed these puppets without personally showing up, but instead borrowed Wuza’s name.
So in the eyes of the Scorpion Woman, her master, was Wuza.
“Late stage Transformation Spirit, your cultivation has risen quite quickly.”
Xu Chuniang swept a glance at the divine soul in her hand, and her demonic thoughts suddenly surged into it, starting to search the soul.
However, the Scorpion Woman’s soul looked as if it had been processed, very “clean”, retaining only the memories of the time after she became a puppet.
The memories before she was refined into a puppet completely disappeared.
Even the process of her being refined into a puppet was blank.
The Scorpion Woman’s divine soul screamed miserably until the end of the soul search, and only then did she barely regain two points of sanity.
She was about to open her mouth to say something when the hand that was pinching her divine soul suddenly tightened with force –
The Scorpion Woman felt a pain all over her body, and then she fell into darkness, transforming into a fragmented remnant of her soul.
The words she was about to say did not come out after all.
Xu Chuniang absently withdrew her hand and felt something.
At the moment when the Scorpion Lady’s soul fell, heaven and earth suddenly fell silent for a moment, and the Scorpion Lady’s residual soul disappeared without a trace, as if it had been taken away by some mysterious force.
Thinking of the Scorpion Woman’s true identity, Xu Chuniang was unimpressed.
Her demonic body had been damaged, and her soul had lost its self-will. Even if she could escape the control of the puppet technique, she would not be able to retrieve those erased memories.
For the Scorpioness who could be resurrected, rather than becoming a half-dead puppet, death was the best place for her.
Around now was only the fourth body of the Scorpioness, and in a month’s time, she would be able to reappear with a new look, and would still not arouse anyone’s suspicion.
As for how she was actually refined into a puppet, when the Scorpion Woman came back to life again, these erased memories would naturally be able to be recalled.
Xu Chuniang was about to leave when a strong demonic thought was abruptly released, locking onto her form.
It was Wuza.
He had come from the royal city, and in just a few breaths of work, he walked up to Xu Chunniang’s body.
Noticing the broken puppet at her feet, Wuza’s expression remained calm.
He casually laid down a boundary, isolating himself from other people’s prying eyes and probing.
As he opened his mouth, Uza’s voice came out as Yan Yu’s.
“When did you come back?”
“Just now.”
Something strange flashed in Xu Chuniang’s eyes, and she quickly recovered as normal, sizing up the Wuzha in front of her.
Wuza looked no different from a real cultivator, not like a puppet at all, no wonder no one had ever suspected him.
Because she had long since seen Yan Yu’s superb puppetry, seeing such a realistic Wuzha, Xu Chunniang merely looked at him for a few more moments before withdrawing her gaze.
She was more interested in knowing how Yan Yu was able to control the Dark Night Demon King’s divine soul.
After all, Yan Yu’s apparent strength was still only at the Refined Void Stage, a step behind the Harmonization Stage.
“Broke through the Harmonization Stage? Congratulations, you can proceed to capture a king city next, any favorites?”
Xu Chuniang thought for a moment, “What do you think of Longxu City?”
“Longxu City is a bit far away, if you go there, it wouldn’t be too good for me to send out troops to help you, and the distance is too far for contact messages.”
Yan Yu was a little surprised, wondering why she would look at Longjue City.
“Why don’t you choose Huangsha City, without my puppet army, you can’t attack a king city with the strength of one person.”
“No matter, I’ll figure it out myself.” Xu Chuniang shook her head, rejecting Yan Yu’s proposal.
“Dragonhost City is under the Age Heavenly Demon Emperor, and it is said that the Age Heavenly Demon Emperor is brutal by nature, so if you really intend to go to Dragonhost City, you should be careful.”
After point blank, Yan Yu did not advise any further, his afterglow sweeping towards the spread of puppet fragments on the ground.
“Good for nothing, why did you destroy one of my puppets just after coming back?”
“The person inside this puppet, who had once offended me, happened to come across it and killed it in passing.”
Yan Yu realized, “So that’s how it is, in fact, the cultivator who was refined into a puppet by me has long since stopped remembering the past, and will only follow my orders.”
“That’s so, it’s a pity that I did it too quickly and didn’t give her a chance to explain.”
The two of them chatted for a while, and seeing that Xu Chuniang did not show any intention of going in and out of the king’s palace, Yan Yu sighed in relief.
“When do you plan to go to Longjue City?”
“Soon, but before I go, there’s something I want to ask you.”
Xu Chuniang stared at Wuzha, looking through this body to the true owner who controlled it.
“After becoming the city lord, how do you break the demonic thought brand left behind towards the Demon Emperor?”
Xu Chunniang knew that the owner of Dark Night City on the surface was still the Dark Night Demon King.
If Yan Yu wanted to be recognized by the Demon King, he had to open up his divine soul in front of the Demon King and allow him to leave a brand that could determine life and death.
“If you want to wear out the brand left behind by a Mahayana Venerable, apart from letting another Mahayana Venerable do it, there is another method, which is the Soul Swapping Technique.”
“Soul Swapping Technique?”
“Not bad.”
Yan Yu borrowed Wuza’s body and nodded slightly, “The Soul Swapping Technique is very complicated, I’ll tell you exactly how to do it when we enter the secret realm.
Until then, don’t do anything rash with the brand in your divine soul, once the Demon Emperor notices the intention in advance, there is only a way to die.”
“I know.”
Xu Chuniang nodded and bid farewell to Yan Yu before leaving Dark Night City.
After watching her leave, a trace of confusion appeared in Wuza’s eyes before it turned into calmness as he gathered up the remains of the puppets on the ground.
Meanwhile, in the Dark Night City’s royal palace, Yan Yu, who was meditating on his knees, suddenly opened his eyes.
The gray wolf sensed something and looked towards her.
“Senior sister, nothing happened, right?”
Yan Yu was silent for a moment before shaking her head, “Xu Chuniang, she broke through the realm, and now has the cultivation of an early stage of Harmonization.”
Surprise flashed through the gray wolf’s eyes, “Could it be that the lightning tribulation half a year ago was the commotion she made?”
“Perhaps.”
Yan Yu closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was no longer much emotion in them.
“The stronger her cultivation, the better it is for us, after all, the Soul Swapping Technique she wants is in my hands.”
The true Soul Swapping Technique, she could never know.
It was just that Xu Chuniang had broken through the Harmonization Stage so quickly, making her heart feel a little bad.
The gray wolf understood Yan Yu’s meaning and meekly pressed its head against Yan Yu’s neck.
“Senior sister and I are only delaying our cultivation because of the puppet refining, with the strength of the two of us, why do we need to be afraid of a mere early stage Harmonization cultivator?”
“Elder brother is right, I was the one who thought wrong, but from today onwards, it’s time for us to utilize our main focus on cultivation.”
A hint of determination flashed in Yan Yu’s eyes, right now the situation in Dark Night City had been settled, an early breakthrough to the Harmonization Stage would allow her to refine stronger puppets as well!
