Chapter 206 You...why are you still here?
The queen frowned and spoke slowly with a hint of curiosity in her voice: "Oh? Why?" Her eyes fell on Qu Yin, as if she wanted to penetrate Qu Yin's heart and explore the hidden secret.
Qu Yin smiled slightly, but with a hint of elusive meaning in her voice: "Isn't the purpose of your trip to find Xu Fu's whereabouts? But Xu Fu is no longer in the Central Plains, so why did you come here?"
When the queen heard this, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. She keenly caught the key information in Qu Yin's words: "How do you know our purpose?" There was a hint of questioning in her tone, as if she wanted to force Qu Yin's words into a dead end.
Qu Yin's smile widened. She didn't directly answer the Queen's question, but shook her head slightly: "There are some things, Your Majesty, you don't need to delve too deeply into."
The Queen looked at Qu Yin, feeling a sense of wonder and uncertainty. This Qu Yin always seemed to see through everything, as if her existence was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. The Queen took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, and spoke again: "Who... are you?"
Qu Yin still didn't answer. She shook her head, her eyes deep and distant. "Your Majesty, there are some things you shouldn't know."
At this moment, one of his men ran in in a panic, his face filled with fear and anxiety: "Sir! This is bad! The people we sent to launch a surprise attack... have all failed!"
The Queen and Qu Yin were both shocked. They hadn't expected things to develop to this point. The Queen quickly calmed down, looked at her men, and asked, "What happened to them?"
The subordinate trembled and said, "They... they encountered some strange things. Those things... seemed to be puppets made of wood!"
"Puppet?" Qu Yin's expression changed. She seemed to have thought of something, and a trace of solemnity flashed in her eyes.
The Queen also realized the seriousness of the matter. She looked at Qu Yin and asked, "Do you know what this is?"
Qu Yin nodded, her voice heavy. "Indeed, it seems we underestimated the people of Lujia Village. Someone among them has mastered the essence of the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements, and is able to create such lifelike puppets."
The Queen frowned upon hearing this and asked, "So what should we do now?"
Qu Yin pondered for a moment, then said, "Looks like we have to go to Lujia Village ourselves. I want to see what the people in this village are capable of!"
The Queen nodded, agreeing with Qu Yin's decision. She knew that the current situation did not allow them to hesitate or delay at all.
Qu Yin looked at the Queen, a flicker of helplessness in her eyes. She hadn't wanted to get involved, but now that she was already involved, she had no choice but to go ahead with it. She took a deep breath, tried to adjust her mindset, and prepared for the upcoming challenge.
Qu Yin knew that the people of Lujia Village mastered some long-lost skills, which meant that they possessed powerful strength and unfathomable wisdom.
Facing such an opponent, she did not dare to be careless or underestimate the enemy.
At the same time, in the ancestral hall of Lujia Village, Lu Liang stood in front of a group of puppet villagers, with a satisfied gleam in his eyes.
These villagers have become his puppets, have lost their self-awareness, and obey his orders.
Looking at these puppet villagers, Lu Liang couldn't help feeling a little proud.
He knew that as long as he had these puppets, Lujia Village would be safe forever. He no longer had to worry about threats and provocations from the outside world.
However, just as he was about to leave the ancestral hall, he suddenly discovered something unexpected. Li Qiankun, Zhang Chulan and others were still standing there, unaffected!
Lu Liang's expression changed, a flicker of surprise and confusion in his eyes. He hadn't expected these people to be able to withstand his Divine Refinement. He looked at Li Qiankun and the others, feeling a little angry and uneasy.
Lu Liang couldn't help but ask, "How... did you do it?" There was a hint of questioning and threat in his voice, as if he was trying to force Li Qiankun and others to give an answer.
Li Qiankun smiled faintly, his eyes full of confidence and composure: "Lü Liang, do you really think you are invincible? Let me tell you, there are still many things in this world that you don't know."
Hearing this, Lu Liang's heart sank. He knew he might be in real trouble this time. He looked at Li Qiankun and the others, his eyes gleaming fiercely: "Why are you... still here?"
Li Qiankun didn't answer, but looked at Lu Liang coldly. Suddenly, an old man came forward, pointed at Lu Liang's nose and asked loudly: "Lu Liang, are you worthy of us, your elders and relatives?"
Lu Liang's face turned pale. He hadn't expected the old man to question him at this moment. He glared at the old man, his voice filled with anger and threats: "You...what did you say?"
The old man looked at Lu Liang without fear, his voice firm and resolute: "Lu Liang, you are willing to sacrifice the entire Lujia Village for your own personal gain. How can someone like you be worthy of being our village chief?"
Hearing this, Lu Liang trembled with anger. He looked at the old man and the other villagers, his eyes flashing with madness: "You...you all want to rebel?"
Lü Liang's expression suddenly darkened. He opened his mouth, as if to offer a defense, but the villagers' angry cries surged like a tide, completely drowning out his words. These villagers, who had once lived side by side with him, now had eyes filled with anger and disappointment. They accused Lü Liang of his crimes, their voices rising and falling, their emotions reaching an extreme level.
"You are willing to sacrifice the interests of all of us for your own ambition!" a villager shouted angrily, his voice trembling with anger, as if he wanted to pour out all the dissatisfaction and pain in his heart.
"You betrayed Biyou Village and betrayed our beliefs!" another villager added, his eyes full of despair and anger, as if Lu Liang's actions had touched the most untouchable bottom line in their hearts.
Lü Liang felt a wave of panic as he listened to these accusations. He tried to defend himself, but his voice grew weaker, as if even he couldn't face the accusations. He knew that no matter what he said, it would not change the villagers' opinion of him, nor would it restore their lost trust.
At that moment, Li Qiankun stepped forward. His gaze was sharp as a torch, staring directly at Lü Liang. His voice was firm and forceful: "So, what you mean by 'for Biyou Village' is that you want us all to become your puppets?" His tone was filled with suspicion and anger, as if he wanted to expose all of Lü Liang's inner secrets.
Lu Liang's face darkened, a fierce look flashing in his eyes. With a sudden wave of his hand, the villagers of Lujia Village behind him transformed into lifeless puppets, charging towards Li Qiankun and the others. These once familiar villagers had now become like this, their eyes hollow and dull, as if they had lost their souls.
"This is my territory, no one can escape!" Lu Liang laughed arrogantly, his laughter echoing in the night sky, full of pride and arrogance.
Li Qiankun felt a pang of sadness as he watched the villagers he once knew transformed into this state. He shook his head and said to Lü Liang, "You've gone too far, Lü Liang. Your actions have incurred public outrage. You will not have a good end." His tone was filled with helplessness and disappointment, as if he had already seen Lü Liang's future.
However, Lu Liang snorted disdainfully: "Stop pretending here, Li Qiankun. Do you think you can stop me?" As he said that, he ordered the puppets to attack again.
Faced with so many puppets, Li Qiankun and his companions, despite their considerable strength, had to be cautious. They knew that despite their large number, the puppets were not very powerful, and that as long as they could find a way to break them, they could easily deal with them. However, just as they were about to take action, Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye arrived at the scene.
Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye were both startled by the scene before them. But they quickly calmed down and began to analyze the situation. Zhuge Qing carefully observed the puppets, noting that despite their large numbers, their movements were stiff and lacked flexibility. He had a plan in mind, and said to Wang Ye, "Although these puppets are numerous, their strength is weak. As long as we find a way to defeat them, we can easily deal with them."
Wang nodded in agreement. His figure moved like the wind, instantly rushing into the midst of the puppets and beginning to unleash his Fenghou Qimen technique. His figure moved effortlessly between the puppets, like a gentle breeze, making their movements slow and clumsy.
Meanwhile, Zhuge Qing set up a formation to support the battle. His fingers swiftly moved through the air, and runes appeared in the air, forming powerful barriers that blocked the puppets' attacks one by one.
Lu Liang watched the two men's movements, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. He hadn't expected these two young men to possess such formidable strength and wisdom. But he wasn't flustered. Instead, he laughed even more arrogantly. "Haha, you two want to join in the fun too? Then come on!"
However, Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye ignored his provocation. They continued to unleash their spells and skills, engaging in a fierce battle with the puppets. Their figures shimmered in the night sky, like two brilliant stars shining in the night sky.
At this moment, Lü Liang suddenly summoned a calm, silver-haired elder. This elder exuded a powerful aura, as if ready to unleash astonishing power at any moment. His appearance sent a wave of shock and excitement through everyone present.
"Is this your trump card?" Zhang Lingyu frowned as he looked at the old man. He was confused and puzzled. These controlled people should have no consciousness of their own, so how could they still use such powerful power?
The elder took a step forward, instantly unleashing a powerful aura. With a slight raise of his hands, a powerful force surged toward Zhuge Qing and the others. This energy seemed to contain boundless power and coercion, sending a wave of fear and palpitations through everyone present.
Zhuge Qing and the others quickly cast spells to resist, but they still felt a sense of panic. They knew that this old man's strength should not be underestimated and they had to go all out to deal with him.
"Is this Ruyi Jin?" Li Qiankun looked at the old senior with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He knew the power of Ruyi Jin very well and understood that the old senior's strength had reached an unattainable level.
However, facing such a powerful enemy, Li Qiankun did not retreat. He took a deep breath to calm himself and then quietly observed the situation. He knew that the most important thing now was to find a way to break the Shuangquan Hand, otherwise they would never be able to escape Lu Liang's control.
"Shuangquanshou... Shuangquanshou..." Li Qiankun silently repeated the name in his heart as if looking for a way to break the spell.
