Not to mention that Li Yan was not on guard, even if he had been on alert all the time, when a Nascent Soul cultivator attacked, even if Li Yan tried his best to escape, it would be like a dream.
Li Yan was shocked and angry.
"Senior...you..."
Just when Li Yan thought that the other party had gone back on his word, the magic power that had just invaded his body disappeared without a trace after just a light touch inside his body.
The ancient ape puppet let go of Li Yan, who was looking shocked and angry, and nodded.
"You really are a five-element mixed spiritual root. It seems that what you just said is true. However, I am also surprised how you were able to successfully build a foundation with such inferior spiritual roots."
The moment the ancient ape puppet released its palm, Li Yan hurriedly took two steps back. After hearing the other party's words, he already understood the other party's intention and said with a look of surprise and doubt.
"Is this ancient ape puppet related to the five elements?"
In his haste, he no longer cared to call the other party "senior".
"Well, this puppet is called 'Qianluo Ancient Ape'. The main material used in its refining is Qianluo Stone, which follows the Five Elements Method. To be precise, you should have accidentally used your magic power to activate this puppet, not your spiritual consciousness.
Therefore, no matter how you use your spiritual sense afterwards, you will not be able to cause it to fluctuate in the slightest, and only the five elements of spiritual energy can cause it to fluctuate in a specific period of time.
Well, it seems that everything you said is true."
After the ancient ape puppet let go of Li Yan, it simply said a few words and then stared into the distance in a daze, as if lost in deep thought.
When the mysterious demon cultivator just said that he "as expected has five kinds of mixed spiritual roots", Li Yan had already guessed the other party's intention of suddenly capturing him. Although he felt uncomfortable, he had no choice but to live under his roof and the other party had the final say.
Thinking about what the other party said, it was no wonder that no matter how he scanned the ancient ape puppet with his spiritual sense, there was nothing abnormal about it.
The reason why Bai Rou said at that time was that when Li Yan's spiritual consciousness appeared for the first time, the ancient ape puppet had abnormal fluctuations. In fact, she said it from her perspective and feelings.
When he first met Bai Rou in the free market in Fangshi, due to Li Yan's intervention, Sun Guoshu directly used his spiritual sense to sweep Li Yan, trying to make Li Yan retreat.
When Li Yan used his spiritual sense to fight back, he would naturally use his magic power to protect his body.
Therefore, when the two spiritual consciousnesses collide, the magic power outside the body will definitely be stimulated and spread outwards.
Since Li Yan's cultivation was far inferior to Sun Guoshu's, he could not truly control his own magic power as he wished, so the aftermath of his magic power spread everywhere and landed on the ancient ape puppet not far away.
Now that Li Yan had been enlightened by the other party, he thought about it carefully and it was indeed like that. Afterwards, he was misled by the spiritual sense that Bai Rou mentioned, and he had been using spiritual sense to detect this puppet.
However, after a little thought, Li Yan immediately discovered the loophole in the mysterious demon cultivator's words.
If he used his spiritual sense to detect the secrets of the ancient ape puppet, he had also taken out the ancient ape puppet to fight against the enemy.
For example, just now when he was in the abyss of the ancient cave, he took out the ancient ape puppet, otherwise how could this senior demon cultivator enter the body of the ancient ape puppet.
But before the mysterious demon cultivator entered the body of the ancient ape puppet, Li Yan used all his magic power to fight the enemy, and the ancient ape puppet was right beside him.
In particular, there was a trace of spiritual connection between him and him, but he did not find any abnormalities on the ancient ape puppet.
Li Yan fell into deep thought for a moment, and the place suddenly became silent.
After a long while, the ancient ape puppet withdrew its gaze from into the distance, turned to look at Li Yan who was lowering his head in deep thought, and spoke again in a tender voice.
"Little guy, overall, I still owe you a favor this time. Otherwise, it is unknown whether you can see this world in this lifetime."
When she said this, her voice was less crisp and more mature.
After hearing this, Li Yan raised her head suspiciously. The other party said this as if she was the one imprisoned, but at that time it was she who was at the point of life and death.
Just as Li Yan looked over in confusion, he saw a flash before his eyes and a slender and graceful figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
As for the ancient ape puppet on the opposite side, the light in its eyes quickly dimmed, and it stood there motionless, like a dead object.
The person who appeared in front of him was wearing a purple long skirt. She was about 28 years old, with a beautiful face. She had black hair tied in a bun at the back of her head. The purple sleeves only reached her forearms, revealing a piece of white jade-like arms, which looked even smoother under the moonlight.
What makes people's heart beat faster is that the hem of the purple long skirt keeps swinging backwards with the night wind, revealing a large area of slender white hair that makes people's heart beat faster from time to time.
Li Yan only took a glance and his head made a buzzing sound. He felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by someone, and a flush of blood suddenly rushed to his face.
"Hehehe... The little guy still knows how to blush. Does your sister look pretty?"
A burst of silver bell laughter came from the girl's mouth, leaving Li Yan at a loss as to what to do for a moment, so he had to lower his head quickly.
Before, when he was in the black hole cave, Li Yan only saw a purple phoenix with a broken wing. Who would have thought that now, a peerless beauty with all kinds of charm would come out from the body of the ancient ape puppet.
In the first sentence, the other party called Li Yan "little guy" in a somewhat old-fashioned way, but in the second sentence, he called himself "sister" inappropriately, but Li Yan did not feel any sense of disobedience.
"Senior...Senior...Junior..."
For a moment, Li Yan didn't know how to answer.
"Could it be that this senior's true form is the phoenix from before? But now..."
Li Yan couldn't help but lift his eyes to look at the arms of the girl in purple dress. Her round and white arms looked graceful and charming under the purple gauze, without any damage at all.
Li Yan's little action did not escape the purple-dressed girl. She suddenly sighed and looked sad. "Don't guess. I'm not the phoenix from before, nor am I a demon cultivator, but... I can't be considered a human either... right!"
She had changed so much, from being cold and indifferent before to being cute and lovely just now. Now, in an instant, she had become like a lady in the boudoir, which made Li Yan unable to adapt at all.
But when Li Yan heard the purple-dressed girl's next words, he was shocked.
"It's not a demon, it's not a human, could it be a ghost... Xiu?"
Li Yan hurriedly raised his head to look at the purple-shirted girl, and his body involuntarily stepped back quietly.
There are many kinds of immortal cultivators in this world, including humans, demons, monsters, and spirits. Spiritual cultivators generally refer to tree spirits, grass spirits, and monsters, and their cultivation methods are different;
In addition, there are ghost cultivators. They are usually the souls of those who died unjustly or tragically, or they have some kind of obsession and are unwilling to enter the cycle of reincarnation. After absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon by chance, they begin to develop intelligence and become immortals.
Ghost cultivators are often people that cultivators do not want to encounter. They are basically people who had great resentment when they died. After they have achieved enlightenment through cultivation, they act erratically and their methods are cruel and outrageous.
Apart from being cruel and bloody, his biggest problem is that he is moody and psychologically distorted, and he often gets satisfaction from torturing and killing his opponents.
When Li Yan heard that the other party was not a demon cultivator, nor even a human, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
If you think about how the other person was pretty and charming one moment and became a somewhat sad girl the next, isn't this a manifestation of moodiness
Seeing Li Yan's expression, the girl in purple dress seemed to realize what Li Yan was thinking and couldn't help but smile, but her change again made Li Yan even more nervous.
If the opponent wasn't so strong and he knew he couldn't escape, he would have turned around and run as far as he could.
"Haha, I'm not a ghost cultivator! Never mind, I won't scare you anymore. I have something to ask you later, so I'll just let you know something.
To be exact, you know the monk named Bai Rou, we have some connection, I was once the great elder of the Muliu Sect!"
Having said that, the girl in purple skirt turned solemn.
In an instant, Li Yan felt that the girl in front of him became cold and unparalleled again, and even the pressure from her body was as heavy as a mountain.
“My name is ‘Shuang Qingqing’, but it can also be said that I am no longer ‘Shuang Qingqing’ now.
Because, what you saw was just a remnant of my soul. My body and Nascent Soul perished a long time ago. I don’t know how many years have passed…”
Shuang Qingqing said this in a deep voice, with a hint of desolation in her words.
While listening, Li Yan secretly looked at Shuang Qingqing again.
Only then did he realize that the body of the girl in purple dress was not actually very real, but rather appeared to be in a somewhat illusory state. It was not very obvious under the moonlight. In addition, Li Yan did not dare to look at it carefully before.
Shuang Qingqing, the 133rd Grand Elder of Muliu Sect, is also the last generation of early Nascent Soul cultivators in Muliu Sect.
Her technique of mechanical puppetry has reached the highest peak recorded in the Muliu Sect. She is also a brilliant person of her generation. This Qianluo Ancient Ape was made by her.
A long time ago, because of the cracks in the Yinmo Cliff, the four major sects had to contact the Nascent Soul cultivators of each sect to work together to hunt down the monsters that escaped from the cracks in the Yinmo Cliff and crossed the border.
Shuang Qingqing was the Nascent Soul elder of the Muliu Sect. When faced with the invasion of monsters from the outside world, she would naturally come forward to participate in the strangling operation.
During the twenty years of suppression, Shuang Qingqing made great achievements.
However, during a siege, the team of monks she led was ambushed by monsters. Not only did the other side have a large number of people, but they were also besieged by three monster generals.
As for Shuang Qingqing, she was the only cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage when they went out that time. In comparison, the gap in high-end combat power was too great.
The levels of monsters are: monster beasts, monster soldiers, monster heads, monster generals, monster commanders, and monster emperors, which correspond to the levels of Qi Condensation, Foundation Building, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spiritual Transformation, and Void Refining among the cultivators.
Due to the influence of the rules of heaven and earth, the size of the crack in the Yinmo Cliff determines the level limit that monsters can forcibly break through.
Since the cultivators from the Wild Moon Continent discovered the cracks in the Yin Demon Cliff in time, the cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage took action and set up a suppression formation at the fastest speed. Therefore, the highest level of monsters that could appear on the Wild Moon Continent at that time were only Demon Generals.
Shuang Qingqing saw that the other party was willing to risk everything and send three demon generals to deal with her in order to encircle and wipe out her ambush, and she immediately guessed the reason.
Although Shuang Qingqing's combat power is among the best in the early Nascent Soul stage, it is not too outstanding.
But her most powerful skill is puppetry. Whenever she summons the "Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix" she refined, its combat power will instantly soar to a terrifying level. Even if she fights against a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, she can still compete with him.
Therefore, in the years of fighting against external monsters, Shuang Qingqing has killed six demon generals.
Although they are all in the early and middle stages, it is extremely difficult to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator. Unless a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage takes action, it will be easy to deal with the first two realms.
In this way, she could cause heavy losses to the monsters. Of course, they hated Shuang Qingqing to the core, so they concentrated their strength and launched an ambush.
With great difficulty, they gathered two remaining mid-stage demon generals and one late-stage demon general, who were determined not to give up until the two Qingqings were killed.
In this ambush, Shuang Qingqing fought against three demon generals. After a fierce battle, he was finally defeated by the three of them and his physical body was finally blown up.
But she also killed one of the opponent's mid-stage demon generals and severely injured another in the fierce battle.
In the end, he could only rely on his only remaining Nascent Soul and the "Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix" to escape far away, while the late-stage demon general behind him was also chasing him relentlessly.
The two of them were chasing each other and finally entered the "Feisha Ancient Cave"!
