Chapter 57 Undercurrent Chapter 56 Xiao Jing was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I didn't expect to fight her to the death... But this dead puppet actually has a soul-catching bottle. Even if she has an amazing background, I know it now. I won't regret killing her!" "Well, the development of the matter is somewhat unexpected!" Zi Xuan looked at Xiao Jing's stern and righteous face and smiled helplessly, "This person is a puppet and an accomplice of the tiger. He deserves to die again." "Oh, what about her body?" Xiao Jing pointed at the body and head on the ground, "Should we take it away and study it?" Zi Xuan paused, "Alright, there may be more than one. Let's study it and then we can have targeted measures." Then, she activated the storage ring, and the white ring flashed slightly, but the body on the ground did not move. "Huh? That's weird!" Zi Xuan was quite puzzled and changed to the storage bracelet on her wrist. Unfortunately, there was still no response. "Can't store it?" Xiaojing saw the clue and asked. "Yes, that's right!" Zi Xuan replied, "It seems that there is something wrong with the refining materials in the body, and they are not accepted by the storage space..." The properties of some materials are contrary to the storage space, which will affect the stability of the space, and some will even erode the space. Therefore, when refining, the refiner often sets the properties of the space storage device in advance to exclude such materials. Therefore, it is normal that there are things that the storage ring cannot store.
Xiao Jing's smile faded, her brows furrowed, and she said, "If we can't take it, are we supposed to carry it?" "Are you kidding?" Zixuan rolled her eyes at Xiaojing. "Of course we can't take her with us like this. She'll be too conspicuous! Who knows where her owner is?" When Xiaojing heard her say this, she felt embarrassed and thought that her idea was indeed a bit naive. In fact, they had previously cleaned out the things in Lina's storage ring one by one with the intention of controlling risks. After all, this human puppet was of great importance. Zixuan was obviously unwilling to give up, and tried several more times. But in the end, she just shook her head and gave up. Not only could the puppet's body not be collected, but her head could not be collected alone either. "We can neither take it with us nor leave it here. After all, the risk is too great. There might be some trouble..." Zi Xuan's eyes flashed coldly, and after a moment, she sighed, "It seems that we have to give up the idea of studying human puppets!" "Well, that's the only way!" Xiaojing nodded in agreement. Zi Xuan no longer hesitated. She formed hand seals with her palms and a ball of blue flame appeared out of thin air in front of her. Zi Xuan shouted softly: "Go!" The blue flame immediately turned into lightning, shot into Lina's body, and instantly turned into a blazing flame that engulfed her body. "This material is indeed extraordinary...the speed is too slow!" Zi Xuan looked at the burning body, frowned slightly, and said lightly. She exhaled lightly, her hand seals changed, the flames on her body rose sharply, and the scorching temperature also soared. As time went by, the remains became smaller and smaller. Half an hour later, it completely dissipated. Zi Xuan's eyes were fixed on the body in the flames. Seeing it gradually melt and eventually turn into nothingness, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then, the two turned their eyes to the head on the ground. Lina's face still showed an expression of disbelief, but the head was pale and covered with dirt, and the blood stains at the neck had dried. The horrible scene was so tragic that it was hard to look at.
"farewell!" Zi Xuan sighed and did the same with both hands. A wisp of blue flame shot out from her hands, hitting the head, and then turned into a blazing flame that engulfed the head. "Hey! The rain has stopped, we can leave now!" Xiaojing looked up at the sky and spoke. In the flames, Lina's head shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, gradually becoming only the size of a grapefruit. Zi Xuan nodded and was about to speak when suddenly her mind moved and a strange feeling arose in her heart. "Not good!" Before Zi Xuan could react, a muffled sound was heard! Bang! After the muffled sound, Zixuan and the others were dumbfounded. Just now, the remaining head in the flames was only the size of a baby's fist, but it suddenly exploded, and the debris flew everywhere! The two of them were standing nearby and were splashed with a lot of stains. "This..." Xiao Jing smiled bitterly, her mouth twitching, "This is really disgusting!" "Restriction? What a big deal!" Zi Xuan understood, her expression condensed, and then she sneered, "It's just that the soul is gone in the head, we didn't think of searching the soul!" According to Zixuan's speculation, if a strong man captured Lina and used his spiritual sense to search her soul, it would trigger the restrictions inside, and the result would naturally be that both of them would die! Xiao Jing couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart after hearing Zi Xuan's explanation. The puppet master's methods were extremely vicious! However, now that the puppet's head had exploded, there was obviously no need to use fire anymore. Zixuan and Xiaojing cleaned off the dirt on their bodies and arranged the scene a little bit. After they felt that they could hide their tracks, they returned down the mountain the same way they came. Neither of them noticed that after the restriction in the puppet's head erupted, some of the black stains attached to their bodies turned into barely perceptible black air and merged into their bodies. … Kunlun Mountain, also known as the first sacred mountain in China, is located in the western part of China. The mountain range stretches endlessly and covers a vast area. Kunlun Mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, with an average altitude of more than 6,000 meters and a temperature below zero. The glacier meltwater of Kunlun is the source of several major rivers in China, with a long history. These rivers have nurtured and multiplied various ethnic groups in China. Therefore, Kunlun Mountain has a prominent position as the "ancestor of all mountains" in the cultural history of China. Because Kunlun is far from the Central Plains and has extreme climate and terrain conditions, Kunlun Mountain and its adjacent areas are often visited by only a few nomadic people from the west. They usually graze their livestock near the foot of the mountain below the snow line. As for going above the snow line, they would never even think about it. Not to mention the cold and lack of food above, the snow blindness caused by the reflection of sunlight from the snow is enough to give people a headache. However, at this moment, on a very high peak in the Kunlun Mountains, a gray figure was moving rapidly. The mountain peak was like a knife blade piercing the sky, majestic and magnificent, but this figure climbed the mountain as if it were flat ground, which was amazing. If you look closely, you will find that this gray figure is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his forties, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a burly figure, and bronze skin. In the biting cold wind, he is wearing only a gray-brown single coat and a cloak on his head. Just when he was about a hundred meters away from the top of the mountain, suddenly, a loud thunder sounded out of nowhere on the mountain. The middle-aged man frowned when he heard the sound, but felt the snow under his feet shaking slightly. Then, a sound like the roar of a car engine came from the snow slope. He looked up and saw a huge snow mass as big as a hill flying towards him with a thunderous sound. avalanche! The middle-aged man shouted loudly, and light shone on his body. He did not dodge and went towards the avalanche. Like a big bird spreading its wings and soaring into the sky, or like a monkey climbing up with its long arms, it didn't take long before he passed through the avalanche area and stood on the top of the mountain. There is a large flat area on the top of the mountain, with strong winds blowing and clothes fluttering. The middle-aged man took a look at the scenery below the snow-capped mountains, then walked to the opposite side with a serious expression. He slowly walked to the edge of the cliff, and then took a step forward - The scenery changed, and in front of us was a two-story temple. This temple absorbed the characteristics of palaces and gardens in the north and south of China, with magnificent palaces and elegant scenery, hidden among the green pines and cypresses.
Apparently, someone had used great magical powers to move the entire Guanyu area here and set up a barrier here. If you don't approach it in person and know how to enter the barrier, you can only see the illusion outside. As soon as the middle-aged man entered the barrier, he saw a thin young man with an eagle nose walking hurriedly on the left. "Gu Li!" the middle-aged man shouted. The young man looked up when he heard the voice, his face changed slightly, and he quickly saluted and said, "Hello, Uncle Du." The middle-aged man asked, "The avalanche just now, is it your master going crazy again?" Gu Li smiled bitterly, "Master is in a bad mood! He yelled!" "Why would he be in a bad mood?" Uncle Du sneered. Then she saw the small bottle in his hand and asked in confusion: "Soul-catching bottle? What are you doing with this?" "I lost the previous one. Take this mandarin duck bottle that was refined together to sense it..." Before Gu Li finished speaking, a cold voice came: "Gu Li——" Gu Li's heart trembled. He didn't dare to say anything. He turned around to say goodbye to Uncle Du, then left in a hurry! The middle-aged man turned around and looked towards Guanyu in front of him. A short, red-haired old man stood at the door of the hall at some point. The middle-aged man saluted and said, "Brother, you asked someone to help you do those things again..." "Don't worry about my business!" the old man said indifferently. “But what’s the point of doing this…” the middle-aged man stepped forward and said loudly. "I know whether it is useful or not!" The old man showed an impatient look and raised his hand to interrupt him, "I told you, it's none of your business!" "Brother, you are making a big move." The middle-aged man insisted, sneering, "Sending Gu Li, who is in the Spiritualization Stage, out? How many people do you want to kill?" "Did I do something big?" the old man said grimly, "Someone destroyed the puppet I worked so hard to refine, a puppet in the late Nascent Soul stage..." The middle-aged man suddenly realized what was going on. It seemed that his senior brother was furious because he saw that the human puppet's soul tablet was broken. "Refining human puppets and collecting souls are originally the last resort. Brother, you can extend your lifespan through other means..." "Enough!" The old man was in a bad mood to begin with, and said angrily, "Du Fan, if you came here to reason with me today, you can go back now..." Du Fan stopped arguing and sighed, "I'm not here to persuade you this time... Tomorrow is the anniversary of Master's death!" The old man was shocked when he heard this, and then slowly walked towards the temple. …… There was a power outage tonight, and the power was restored at 11 o'clock. I am speechless! ...
