Chapter 574: Chapter 574: Mechanical Puppet (Second Update)
A massive sword light, dragging a tail that spanned the heavens and the earth, came flying toward them, and atop its gleam stood Bu Kongchan, the Wuwang Sect’s number one true disciple.
With her hands clasped behind her back and her face bathed in golden light, she appeared as if an Immortal had descended to the world, eliciting bursts of astonished exclamations from the crowd below.
“It’s the Wuwang Sect’s Bu Kongchan! Rumors say she has reached the realm of a Half-step Golden Immortal, unsurpassed in swordsmanship!”
“The people of the Wuwang Sect have finally shown up! The drama is getting more and more intense!”
From the west came an aura of malevolence so thick it seemed tangible, forming into a ferocious giant beast, atop which sat a person entirely enveloped in layers of gloomy energy, looking particularly fearsome.
Someone with a grave expression said, “It’s the Wu Qisha, the Seven Sha Prince of the Fierce Spirit Sect!”
Hissss!
At the mention of this name, those of a fainter heart had already turned pale with fear.
“This peerless fiend has actually come too!”
“In recent years, the Fierce Spirit Sect has been acting so arrogantly, all because of this Wu Qisha!”
As they spoke, a fleet made up of several huge floating ships slowly flew in.
At the bow of each ship stood a flagpole.
On top of the flagpoles flew huge banners embroidered with divine birds.
This grand spectacle startled many onlookers.
“People from the Qianniao Kingdom have come as well!”
“It looks like it is the Qianniao Kingdom’s sovereign personally overseeing the journey!”
At the same time outside the city gates, on the official road, a giant towering over ten zhang tall could be seen striding forward.
Despite the city walls, the city’s residents could still make out the giant’s appearance.
Half of the giant’s head had been severed and then sewn back together, making it look extremely fierce and terrifying.
In the giant’s hands was a huge hammer, and his whole body shimmered with a metallic luster.
Atop the giant’s shoulder sat a long-haired woman.
This woman’s beauty was enchanting, and her revealing clothes, and long hair that cascaded down like water, covered crucial parts, while her slender, crossed Erlang legs displayed her bare, jade-carved white feet.
Many men were entranced.
Because this woman’s beauty and mannerisms were simply too stunning!
“It’s Liu KekKe from the Puppet Sect of Central Province!”
“This enchantress has actually appeared too!”
“Now it’s really going to be extraordinarily lively!”
Many who recognized this woman all showed serious expressions.
It’s because the Puppet Sect was quite famous even in Central Province.
At that moment, Wu Qisha stood up from atop the malevolent beast and let out a series of sinister chuckles towards Liu KekKe.
“Sister Liu, long time no see! Do you still recognize your senior brother?”
Liu KekKe covered her mouth and giggled lightly, “Wu Qisha, I can’t believe you still dare to show your face!”
The gloomy energy enveloping Wu Qisha surged, and then he sneered, “Sister Liu, what do I have to fear? The lesson you taught me back then, I’ve always remembered it vividly, and I’ve been wanting to return the favor!”
“Oh?” Liu KekKe, with a coquettishly charming smile, replied, “But I wonder how you plan on returning it?”
“Naturally, by turning you into my slave to enjoy at my leisure,” Wu Qisha said, and with a stamp of his foot, the giant beast landed on the ground, a flick of its tail destroying an entire cluster of houses, as it menacingly fixated its gaze on Liu KekKe.
With a slight frown, Liu KekKe asked, “You’ve actually made a breakthrough?”
“Indeed! Half a year ago, I reached the Longevity Peak! Liu KekKe, it’s not too late to surrender now, I’ll consider leaving your soul intact,” Wu Qisha cackled hideously.
“Oh? You speak as if you’re the only one capable of breakthroughs,” Liu KekKe retorted as the mechanical puppet she stood on suddenly grew, reaching over thirty zhang in height.
This development made even Wu Qisha exclaim in surprise, “You’ve made a breakthrough too!”
“That’s right! Wu Qisha, the last time you harassed me, we hadn’t settled the score yet. Now that we’ve met again, I’ll teach you another lesson!” Liu KekKe said coldly.
A great battle was about to erupt before their eyes.
Lian Yunzhi, who had been watching the situation in the Flying Smoke Fortress, stomped her foot and flew into the air. She then said loudly, “Both of you, stop your hands!”
Wu Qisha and Liu KekKe were both startled. At this moment, Lian Yunzhi had already flown close and slightly bowed her hands in greeting.
“Both of you are outstanding talents; if you were to fight, Bafang City might be destroyed in an instant. Why not stop here? After the opening of the True Immortal Relics, we can settle our grievances then, how about it?”
“You are…?” Liu KekKe did not recognize Lian Yunzhi.
Upon hearing this, Wu Qisha let out a series of cold chuckles, “Alright! Since the Lian Family’s young lady has spoken, I shall give you this face!”
Lian Yunzhi remained silent.
She naturally was aware that Wu Qisha’s sect had ambushed her younger sister not long ago and had almost succeeded.
However, to Lian Yunzhi, what mattered most now was to join forces with various powers to secure the True Immortal Relics first.
As for her younger sister Lian Yunting…
Lian Yunzhi had never been fond of her and thus said no more.
Meanwhile, Qianniao Haoyan stood at the bow of the distant floating ship, giving Lian Yunzhi a deep look.
He naturally knew of the Lian family’s talented daughter.
Still very young, yet already at the Longevity Peak, she certainly had ample reason to be proud.
But Qianniao Haoyan understood.
The reason many people gave her face was entirely because of the Mountain Sea Sect behind her.
After all, that was one of the top sects in the Central Province.
The State Preceptor Guan Kaiming approached and said, “Your Majesty, the posthouse is ready!”
“Good! Let’s go!” Qianniao Haoyan retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice.
The floating ship slowly departed.
Wu Qisha left as well, laughing sinisterly a few more times.
Only Liu KekKe was left.
Lian Yunzhi bowed her hands to Liu KekKe, “Sister Liu, do you have a place to stay in Bafang City?”
Liu KekKe shook her head.
Lian Yunzhi’s eyes lit up slightly, and she quickly said, “If that’s the case, why not follow me back to Flying Smoke Fortress? As fellow disciples of sects in the Central Province, we could get to know each other better!”
Liu KekKe giggled, “If that’s the case, then I shall impose upon you!”
Upon returning to the Flying Smoke Fortress.
The mechanical puppet beneath Liu KekKe dimmed with light and then shrank into a small ring, falling into her hand.
This was the marvel of the Puppet Sect.
Fortress Master Lian Yuanhua, along with the group of elders, was already waiting at the gate.
The scene was incomparable to when Xue An had visited, a heaven and earth difference.
Watching her elder sister chatting jovially with this goddess-like figure, while their father smilingly echoed on the side,
Lian Yunting couldn’t help but lower her head, a trace of chilliness flashing across her eyes.
She had nearly lost her life last time; had it not been for Xue An’s intervention, she might already have been processed into a fierce spirit!
Yet, even so, her father had hardly shown any concern.
Even towards her savior, he had shown significant disrespect.
Compared to her elder sister, the treatment was completely different, like heaven from the earth.
All these factors cooled Lian Yunting’s heart gradually.
Meanwhile, in a small courtyard, Xue An filled a cup with tea, held it in his hand, took a slow sip, and then a hint of a smile emerged on his lips.
“Alchemy Magician? Mechanical Puppet? Interesting!”
With the trail of his voice, Liu KekKe, who was laughing and talking with Lian Yunzhi, seemed to sense something and looked around with surprise and suspicion.
Odd, it seemed as though a moment ago a powerful Divine Sense had been spying on her.
