As the three of them ran, Yu Shu couldn't help but ask, "So now can you tell me what your master is doing?"
Zong Xiao's eyebrows flashed, and he slowly said in a low voice, "My master is refining a human puppet..."
Yu Shu looked at Zong Xiao and frowned. She had never heard of "human puppet" before.
"What is that?" Yu Shu's black eyes revealed some confusion.
Zong Xiao lowered his eyes, and his expression flashed with a hint of complexity, "I will refine a container that can trap the soul."
"It's just merging several corpses together."
He pursed his lips and his voice suddenly became very low, "Master, Master, he trapped Master's soul..."
Zong Xiao's voice was very soft, as if he was trying to cover up the pain in his voice.
Li Sheng on the side spoke again at an inappropriate time and asked, "If your master is not possessed by the devil, then should we... kill him?"
As soon as the words fell, the air became quiet.
Yu Shu couldn't help but smack her tongue secretly, and she quietly took a look at Zong Xiao's reaction.
Zong Xiao's cheeks were tense and he didn't say a word. Two lines of tears silently slipped from his eyes, and his nose turned red.
His eyebrows were furrowed tightly, and there was an aura of helplessness all over his body, like a trapped animal in a cage.
"What else can I do?"
Zong Xiao's voice expressed the collapse of being forced into a desperate situation.
Yu Shu retracted her gaze from Zong Xiao. Killing a master is a serious crime in the Immortal Continent.
But if you just watch your master go astray and do nothing, no matter who you are, it would be impossible for him to do it.
Yu Shu secretly sighed, feeling a little sympathetic.
The three of them suddenly stopped in front of a cave.
Zong Xiao's eyes were filled with determination. He clenched the nine-jointed stick in his hand and said in a deep voice, "My master is inside."
"Just...please, everyone."
Zong Xiao said, suddenly feeling that there was an extra person.
He turned his head suddenly and looked to the side.
A man suddenly appeared behind Yu Shu. The man was tall and tall, wearing a black robe and a bronze mask on his face.
It was Ji Jue.
"You, when did you come?" Zong Xiao was tongue-tied and said in shock.
Ji Jue glanced at Zong Xiao and said in a low voice, "Lead the way."
Zong Xiao glanced at Yu Shu and the others and found that they all looked like they were used to it.
He could only touch his nose angrily, "Okay."
Zong Xiao took the lead and walked into the cave first, followed closely by the three people and one beast behind him.
This cave is quite mysterious. There is obviously no obstruction at the entrance, but once you step in, there is no light in the entire cave. It is so dark that you can't see your fingers.
Zong Xiao took out a luminous pearl from his storage bag and illuminated a small area.
He said with a wary look, "My master has designed many mechanisms in the cave, so be very careful."
As soon as he finished speaking, the cave suddenly lit up, as if it was changing from night to day.
Zong Xiao raised his head and clearly saw the roof of the cave, and was immediately stunned, "What is going on?"
He subconsciously looked towards the powerful one.
I saw a ball of light condensing in Ji Jue's hand using spiritual power, illuminating the cave.
Ji Jue raised her eyebrows slightly, met Zong Xiao's gaze, and said calmly, "Are you okay?"
Zong Xiao looked at the luminous pearl in his hand, and then at the ball of light in Ji Jue's hand.
How could it be okay!!
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zong Xiao's face. He put away the luminous pearl in his hand, raised the corners of his lips, and shook his head repeatedly, "It's okay."
"Then let's go quickly." Ji Jue nodded slightly.
Zong Xiao coughed lightly, held a stick in one hand, and continued walking forward.
He took every step carefully, for fear of triggering the mechanism, but even so, they still fell into the trap.
Li Sheng didn't know where he stepped and made a "thump" sound.
Before everyone could react, several wooden hands suddenly appeared from the ground and firmly grasped everyone's ankles.
Yu Shu frowned and subconsciously used the spiritual power in her dantian to break free from this restraint.
But she found that she could not mobilize her spiritual power!!
"What is this?" Yu Shu frowned and knitted her eyebrows into a tight knot.
Zong Xiao also noticed this. He seemed to remember something, his eyes widened and he immediately looked up.
Sure enough, there was something on the roof of the cave, and it was quickly crawling in their direction.
Those things were extremely fast and densely packed, rushing over like a tide.
Zong Xiao looked horrified and said in shock, "What happened! The poisonous spider is coming."
He held his nine-jointed stick with both hands and was about to swing it.
But he saw some fine light spots like raindrops, knocking down those dense poisonous spiders.
Zong Xiao was stunned for a moment, then slowly put down the nine-jointed stick in his hand and looked at Ji Jue in disbelief.
How can he mobilize spiritual power?!
Zong Xiao's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he saw clearly that Ji Jue's ankle was not grasped by the wooden hand that could lock spiritual power.
He should have dodged the moment the wooden hand appeared.
Zong Xiao's mouth was slightly open, and the surprise in his eyes didn't mean he was faking it.
Zong Xiao looked a little surprised, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart, how come he has never heard of such a powerful person before?
He looked at Ji Jue with a bit of inquiry in his eyes.
The poisonous spiders that were hit fell from the roof of the cave one after another, fell to the ground, and piled up into a small mountain.
Ji Jue finished killing the poisonous spider on the roof of the cave and moved his fingers again.
A few strands of spiritual power flew out and shattered all the wooden hands on their ankles.
Ji Jue frowned, a few obscure and complex emotions flashed in his eyes. He looked at the poisonous spider on the ground, not knowing what he was thinking.
Yu Shu looked at Ji Jue's somewhat heavy expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ji Jue raised his eyes and looked at Yu Shu, explaining, "I remember that Hengjin would never add poison to the magic weapons he made."
Ji Jue's words reached Zong Xiao's ears, and Zong Xiao's heart trembled uncontrollably.
His master really disdained the use of poison, but why would this man know it?
He looked at Ji Jue blankly, "My master really doesn't use poison. He thinks it's a crooked way. A truly powerful magic weapon doesn't need these methods."
"Why do you know?" Zong Xiao suddenly clenched his fist hanging by his side.
Ji Jue's eyes flashed but he did not answer. He said in a deep voice, "Go see your master first."
Zong Xiao's throat was tight. At this juncture, he had no choice but to suppress his doubts and nodded slightly.
Zong Xiao immediately raised his feet and walked forward.
But after walking a few steps, something suddenly flew over.
But before everyone could see what it was, it was shattered by Ji Jue's palm.
Zong Xiao turned around, looked at Ji Jue with a deep look, and then set off again.
The four of them soon arrived at the fork, and there were actually five roads in front of them! This chapter has been completed!
