Chapter 179 Breaking into Mulan’s tent! Yinluo Sect!
"My fellow Taoists are so sure that the Free Cultivators Association has four great cultivators, but I still find it hard to believe." The black-clothed woman named Lu, the Taoist companion of Sect Master Fang, still had an expression of disbelief on her face.
"Well, Fellow Daoist Lu, actually the only late Nascent Soul cultivator in the guild who really appears in the open is the old monster Tianhen." At this time, the Confucian scholar named Zhong began to explain.
"As for the other means of the opponent, it is a dozen mature flying purple-striped scorpions."
"More than a dozen mature flying purple-striped scorpions?! There are such things here?" Even the knowledgeable Sect Master Fang from Dajin was shocked when he heard the name of this spiritual insect.
“If the combat power of a dozen mature flying purple-striped scorpions is indeed greater than that of the average late Nascent Soul stage cultivator, then isn’t this insect known to be difficult to control?” A black-robed young man in his twenties asked with some confusion.
"Given the violent nature of the Flying Purple Scorpion, it is impossible to tame it unless it is cultivated from a larva. If it is cultivated from a larva to a mature form, it will take at least tens of thousands of years."
"But according to the information you have obtained, that loose cultivator guild has only been around for a hundred years. This means that the man directly controlled the mature flying purple-striped scorpions. This is really shocking. You know, even a Divine Incarnation cultivator would not be able to subdue these mature flying purple-striped scorpions and could only kill them."
The young man in black robe is the fourth elder of Yinluo Sect, and also the most outstanding genius of Yinluo Sect in the past thousand years. Now, at the age of less than 500, he has reached the peak of the middle Nascent Soul stage. He has great hope of advancing to the late Nascent Soul stage in the future and is highly regarded by everyone in Yinluo Sect.
The three divine masters of the Mulan people looked at each other and wondered why this man came to ask them.
It wasn't them who tamed that group of flying purple-striped scorpions, so how would they know how it was done?
"Apart from this flying purple-striped scorpion, is there any other existence comparable to a great cultivator?" Sect Master Fang knew that this question stumped the other party, so he changed the subject and asked about other information.
Hearing Sect Master Fang's question, the three Mulan Divine Masters shook their heads.
"We don't know the rest either. The entire Loose Cultivators Guild is extremely mysterious. We only know that after the Righteous Alliance defeated the Loose Cultivators Guild, the four major forces in Tiannan came together to find them, but in the end they could only retreat in disgrace. Only the leaders know the details."
The Confucian scholar named Zhong shook his head.
"Don't you even have any information about the president of the Loose Cultivators' Union, the person who founded this force? You don't even know his last name?" The black-clothed woman named Lu asked with some dissatisfaction.
The three great masters of Mulan all shook their heads. It was not that they were useless but that Li Mufeng was too mysterious and there was almost no news about him.
"Master, do we still want to get involved in this muddy water?" The fourth elder of the Yinluo Sect, who had a bright future, asked uncertainly.
"This..." After hearing the young man's voice, Sect Master Fang also fell into hesitation. He had originally come out just to search for some souls to repair the Ghost Banner, but he didn't expect to encounter such a difficult thing.
"I think we don't need to worry so much about this Loose Cultivators Guild." At this time, the short man named Bi stood up.
"According to the current intelligence, although the strength of the Loose Cultivator Guild is very strong, its influence is not strong. It's just that the combat power of several late Nascent Soul stage cultivators is extremely difficult to deal with."
"We, the Mulan people, actually get along quite well with the tribe close to the Nine Nations Alliance, and have purchased a large amount of monster materials from them."
"From this point of view, he is not the kind of person who is limited to the Tiannan Yan people, or the Mulan people of our Mulan grassland. For him, no matter who occupies this land under his feet, they are just buyers of his monster materials."
"Master Bi, it is really stupid to pin your hopes on others!" When the skinny old man heard the dwarf named Bi say this, he scolded him in dissatisfaction and then looked at the people from Yinluo Sect.
"Fang Daoist, if we take out more spirit stones and materials, I wonder if you can invite some fellow Daoists from Dajin?"
This was also another reason why he told Sect Leader Fang and others about the Loose Cultivators Guild.
"You want to ask a great cultivator at the late Nascent Soul stage for spiritual stones and materials?" Sect Master Fang looked at the skinny old man named Zhu with contempt. "Fellow Daoist Zhu, you and I are both at this level. You know what we need. Do you have that kind of thing in Mulan Grassland? Even if you do, are you willing to give it to us?"
"If it weren't for the fact that the Ghost Luo Banner of our Yin Luo Sect was damaged and needed soul repair, why would we interfere in your affairs because of those guys?"
Guiluo Banner can also be called Yinluo Banner, which is the inherited magic weapon of Yinluo Sect.
"Alas, it seems that we can only hope that your Association of Loose Cultivators will not interfere in this matter." Saint Mulan sighed.
The reason why they wanted to invade Tiannan this time was not only because they were defeated by their arch-enemy the Tuwu people before, but also because the Mulan Holy Bird they believed in had sent a message that it would lead its clone to this world, so the Mulan people had to prepare.
This kind of preparation is not an ordinary one. It requires the use of a large amount of rare resources to condense the clone container. However, they had just been defeated by the Tuwu people and could not afford so many resources.
So they could only turn their guns towards Tiannan, preparing to plunder Tiannan's rich resources to supplement their Mulan's resources.
The Mulan people had no right to refuse. If they refused, they would never be able to defeat the Tuwu people who had the protection of the Tianlan sacred beast after losing the sacred bird.
"Oh! It's really better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. I didn't expect that you all are talking about my Loose Cultivators Guild."
"Since you all value me, it seems that my Loose Cultivators' Union has gained some reputation."
“What an honor, what an honor!
A lighthearted and cheerful voice sounded in the big tent, and the faces of the people around suddenly changed.
“Who is it?!” the skinny old man roared, his cloudy eyes constantly looking around.
Completely different from her skinny body, his roar seemed to be blessed by some kind of spiritual magic, causing the air in the entire tent to tremble.
"Li Mufeng, the president of the Loose Cultivators' Union." A name suddenly appeared in everyone's mind. Sitting on the empty seat at the entrance was a gentle, elegant, and handsome young man.
The other person was carrying a yellow bamboo tube on his back.
This seat was originally reserved for the newly promoted Master Tian, but he did not attend the meeting because he had just broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage and was in the process of consolidating his cultivation.
"How did you get in?" Saint Mulan asked sternly when she saw Li Mufeng appear here strangely.
However, Li Mufeng didn't want to pay any attention to her at all, but looked at the group of monks in black clothes and black robes on the left.
"You must be the demon cultivators from the Yinluo Sect in Dajin, right? I have heard of your name for a long time!" Li Mufeng clasped his fists to the Sect Master Fang.
Sect Leader Fang, the skinny old man named Zhu, the Confucian scholar named Zhong, and the dwarf named Bi all looked at Li Mufeng who suddenly appeared here with a smile on his face and their faces darkened.
Ever since the last inexplicable invasion by Wei Wuya, they have set up many formations and restrictions, but now the other party has come into the tent without them noticing.
And it seems that he has been here for a long time, but they didn’t notice anything. Either his supernatural powers are terrifying, or his treasure is incredible!
"Fellow Daoist Li, what is your purpose in coming here alone?" The skinny old man named Zhu looked at Li Mufeng and questioned. Li Mufeng raised two fingers, "Two things. One is that I have been refining a treasure for a long time and want to test its power. The other is to discuss a deal with you."
"Transaction?" Sect Master Fang and the three divine masters of the Mulan tribe looked at each other in confusion.
"Fellow Daoist Li, are you talking about the incident in which Mr. Bi sent you a message?" At this time, the divine master named Bi stepped forward and asked tentatively.
"Haha, fellow Daoist, you should just go to bed. Maybe there will be such fantastic and good things in your dreams." Li Mufeng directly retorted, and then looked at the people from Yinluo Sect.
"Since we are discussing cooperation, then you should show us your strength first. Your character is really not trustworthy. I heard that the Yinluo Sect where Sect Master Fang comes from is one of the ten great demon sects in Dajin. Fellow Daoist Fang's Tiansha True Demon Art has been cultivated to a very high level, and he can even use the true demon energy of Tiansha True Demon to possess others."
"I wonder if you are interested in helping me, Li, test the power of the treasure."
"Good! You actually used me, Fang, to experiment the power of my treasure! Humph!" Sect Master Fang snorted coldly. He was really underestimated. The old devil Fang, who was the one in Dajin, had to show fear when seeing him. He didn't expect that today he would be used as a whetstone to experiment the power of treasures!
"Senior, this leader from one of the ten great demon sects in Dajin should be qualified to experiment with the power of puppets, right?" Li Mufeng suddenly asked in a voice transmission.
"Haha—enough! It's more than enough!" The excited voice of Dayan God came from the bamboo tube behind him.
"In that case, let's get started." Li Mufeng took out a storage bag and took out a puppet from it.
When everyone was observing what treasure Li Mufeng was going to take out, they didn't expect that Li Mufeng actually took out a puppet.
A middle-aged monk with a similar build to Li Mufeng and a pale face appeared in front of everyone.
This monk was dressed in a yellow shirt and had skin as white as jade. Upon closer inspection, his face was exactly the same as the little puppet that the Great Yan Divine Lord possessed.
But his eyes were flashing coldly, his expression was chilly, and there was not even a trace of smile.
"It's actually a puppet!" The Taoist companion of Sect Master Fang said in surprise, "What's so good about trying the power of a puppet?"
Compared to the doubts of Mrs. Lu, the face of the fourth elder of Yinluo Sect was filled with horror, and even his voice was trembling and incredible, "Madam Sect Master, if you sense it again, you will know the wonder of the puppet."
"Really?" After carefully sensing the pressure from the puppet, the woman surnamed Lu's face suddenly turned shocked.
"A puppet in the late Nascent Soul stage!" Sect Master Fang and the woman surnamed Lu exclaimed at the same time.
The skinny old man named Zhu, the scholar named Zhong, and the dwarf named Bi opened their mouths wide and looked at each other.
Are there actually puppets at the late Nascent Soul stage in this world?
This kind of thing is unheard of, let alone seeing it with one's own eyes, even hearing about it is unheard of.
The method of refining a puppet at the late Nascent Soul stage from the very beginning is simply beyond the imagination of a cultivator.
Even if a genius comes along and comes up with an idea, where are the materials?
Every puppet material of this level is extremely rare. It is impossible for any cultivator to gather them all together!
It is absolutely impossible for a cultivator to possess such a heaven-defying item.
"Hahaha - good! Very good! This is the expression! Awesome! My puppetry!" Noticing the shock of the people around him, Lord Dayan screamed.
Now a puppet in the late Nascent Soul stage actually appeared before their eyes.
Sect Master Fang looked at Li Mufeng, his eyes full of fear, "Daoyou are really good at this. Even the Great Jin doesn't have a sect that has a puppet of this level."
"Haha, thank you for your hard work, Fellow Daoist Fang." Li Mufeng smiled slightly, and his hands moved without slowing down at all. Several high-level spirit stones flew into the body of the puppet.
Without saying a word, the puppet raised both hands, fingers slightly spread.
Suddenly, green spiritual light quickly gathered in the palm of his hand, and in the blink of an eye, two huge light balls as big as heads condensed into shape, dazzling and shocking.
With two "puff" sounds, the puppet's wrist trembled slightly, and the ball of light turned into two beams of light that shot out.
"No! Run!"
The faces of the people around suddenly turned grim. They didn't expect that Li Mufeng would actually take action here.
A moment later, a shocking explosion was heard, and the originally majestic tent disappeared without a trace, leaving a huge pit more than ten feet wide on the ground. This tent was not an ordinary object but a special top-level magical weapon.
It is naturally impossible to defeat Sect Master Fang with just this ordinary attack.
After the smoke and dust cleared, only a strange black fog could be seen in the pit that was more than ten feet wide, completely covering the opponent's body.
Then, under the gaze of everyone, Master Fang's body suddenly grew several times larger, from a seemingly ordinary man to a giant of more than two meters in height.
Although it was not very clear due to the obstruction of the Yin Qi, the man in the black robe with torn clothes could be seen faintly with double horns on his head and fangs in his mouth.
"It's the Sect Master's Tiansha True Demon!" All the Nascent Soul cultivators who were in the big tent just now escaped, but everyone's face looked a little ugly.
A demon cultivator from the Yinluo sect who was also practicing the Tiansha True Demon Art exclaimed.
Compared to those who used this method, Sect Master Fang's transformation was more thorough.
Seeing how happy those people from the Yinluo Sect were, Li Mufeng shook his head and said, "Your Tiansha True Demon Art can only respond to one True Demon. It is totally incomparable to Luanxinghai's Liuji True Demon Art, which can respond to six True Demons at once."
And this Tiansha True Demon seems to be one of them.
"Friend Fang, please use whatever tricks you have. Otherwise, your true magic skills alone are no match for my puppet." Li Mufeng shouted to Sect Master Fang.
If it was a late Nascent Soul puppet refined by Han Li, he could certainly deal with it, but this was a "Masterpiece Puppet" refined by Li Mufeng, and it had been upgraded. It was no longer something that an ordinary late Nascent Soul cultivator could handle.
"Great! I didn't expect that I was underestimated!" Sect Leader Fang laughed in anger, "You think you can defeat me with just a puppet? That's too unrealistic. You underestimate me, the Sect Leader of Yinluo Sect!"
