Chapter 330 Extra Chapter 6: The Puppet
Awakening: If we could meet again, what would be a thousand hardships to fear? —Si.
Yunxiao Sect.
"Wanxun!" Si Jinchuan ran over quickly and hugged Xie Wanxun tightly.
His face turned pale, and he only felt relieved when he heard Xie Wanxun's rhythmic breathing.
Are you too tired?
Si Jinchuan used his spiritual power to move Xie Wanxun to his room and carefully covered her with a blanket.
Looking at the sleeping Xie Wanxun, Si Jinchuan unconsciously revealed a faint smile, his dark eyes filled with gentle tenderness.
This peaceful and tranquil life is like a beautiful dream.
Si Jinchuan leaned down and looked at Xie Wanxun's cheeks, his ears turning red involuntarily.
After hesitating for a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief. His hand unconsciously reached out and gently stroked her hair, his movements becoming softer and softer. Finally, he slowly leaned forward and placed a kiss on her hair, filled with endless tenderness.
"Get some rest," Si Jinchuan said, then left and closed the door.
He stood at the door, his cheeks flushed, his heart pounding, thinking: Why is it so hot tonight? Is summer really coming soon?
Si Jinchuan stood guard at the door without leaving for a moment, and fell asleep standing there.
Inside the room, Xie Wanxun sat up, opening her eyes sleepily.
Upon looking at the decorations inside, one could see that the table was filled with all kinds of gems, and even the walls were covered with gems.
Such unique decorations could only be the work of Si Jinchuan.
Xie Wanxun knew that Si Jinchuan had always liked sparkly things, so he would spend a lot of money to buy gemstones of various colors.
However, he usually keeps a low profile and only changes one of the rubies on his Xuan Sword over and over again.
Xie Wanxun stood up. She felt the spiritual energy fluctuations outside the door and couldn't help but rub her forehead.
It seems the only option is to sneak out.
Day two.
Twilight Snow Sect.
In Xie Wanxun's room, the puppet got up blankly. It had waited until midnight yesterday, but Xie Wanxun didn't return. Lacking spiritual energy, it could only sleep to replenish it.
I had just finished washing up when there was a knock on the door.
The puppet yawned, opened the door, and saw the peach trees in full bloom in the courtyard.
"Xiao Xun, come here, give your mother a hug." Feng Qingyi said warmly, opening her arms wide.
Xie Cang, standing behind her, watched the puppet with a smile on his face.
Feng Qingyi and Xie Cang were traveling when they heard that the leaders of the eight major sects were going to Jianggu City to kill the tree demon. So they rushed back to see Xie Wanxun.
They knew their child was usually reckless and impulsive, and were afraid she would get hurt.
The puppet clung to Feng Qingyi, feeling the warmth of her embrace, somewhat bewildered.
It was nothing more than a puppet that resembled its owner, doing only what its owner wanted, but never truly experiencing the world, especially its family.
"Xiao Xun, if you encounter any difficulties, be sure to notify us using your communication bracelet. We are also late-stage Mahayana cultivators and will definitely be able to help you. When you are out exorcising demons, don't be too impulsive. If you encounter any difficulties, just tell your parents," Feng Qingyi said with concern.
Xie Cang nodded from behind.
He and Ah Feng were the previous sect leaders. If they were to return to the sect again, it would likely cause panic among the people. After all, the demons that could mobilize their master must have the power to destroy the world.
However, as parents, they will certainly step in when needed.
"Yes, Father and Mother, you don't need to worry." The puppet nodded, mimicking Xie Wanxun's actions from his memory, and revealed a confident smile: "It's just a little monster, I can take care of it in no time."
After reading it, Feng Qingyi and Xie Cang were finally relieved.
After Xie Cang and Feng Qingyi finished explaining the precautions, the puppet was finally able to escape.
It saw Tian Ruochun waiting for it not far away.
"Xiao Tian." It called out, and Tian Ruochun turned around, saw it, and waved.
"Sister Wanxun, come quickly, the main force is about to set off, and we're just waiting for you." Although Tian Ruochun urged, her tone was very gentle.
She knew Xie Wanxun might be chatting with the former sect leader and his wife, so she didn't interfere.
"Okay," the puppet replied, concealing the unease in its eyes.
Xie Wanxun, when is she coming back?
at the same time.
Tianji Pavilion.
Sitting at the table, Xie Wanxun looked troubled.
A figure was lying on the ground; it was Liu Zetao, the second elder of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. He had been ambushed from behind and was knocked down as soon as he got up.
The culprit was Xie Wanxun.
She was holding Liu Zetao's divination tool, a bronze mirror. Looking at the four lines of text reflected in the mirror, Xie Wanxun was completely baffled.
The mirror reads: "In this cultivation world, there are three non-existent people, two non-existent objects, and one fact that should not exist."
"Forget it, let's go to Jianggucheng first, otherwise the puppets alone won't be able to hold out." Xie Wanxun waved his hand and quickly flew towards Jianggucheng on his sword.
Jiang Gucheng.
Countless vines danced wildly, destroying the entire Jianggu City beyond recognition.
The leaders of the eight major sects gathered together and displayed their best skills.
"Demon-subduing formation, activate!"
Zhong Yingxiu formed hand seals, and the Demon-Subduing Array was activated with a roar. Beams of golden light shot out from the array's patterns, soaring into the sky. The runes intertwined, forming a massive golden shield that enveloped the tree demon. Within the shield, golden runes darted about like arrows, each flash accompanied by the tree demon's painful thrashing.
Lin Jiyun and Lin Jingquan appeared on either side of the formation. They exchanged a knowing glance and flicked out talismans.
"Explosive tag, explode!"
"Freezing spell, activate!"
Extreme frost and dazzling fire enveloped the tree spirit; the interplay of ice and fire created vapor that rapidly spread outwards.
"Next, it's your turn."
Si Jinchuan stood up, holding the Xuan Sword, while Qin Muyang opened his fan, unleashing wind blades and silver needles simultaneously, flying towards the tree demon with the force of thunder.
But then the tree demon's roots burst forth from the ground, its thick trunk shaking violently with a dull thud. Its branches lashed wildly as if possessed, smashing houses to pieces and snapping trees in half wherever they went. Dark green sap gushed from the cracks in the bark, emitting a nauseating stench.
"Poisonous! Everyone be careful!"
Qiao Qingzi shouted decisively, her gaze turning to Xia Mengqi and Xia Mengchu. The three of them nodded in unison and quickly distributed the antidote pills to the sect leaders and disciples.
Suddenly, the tree demon let out a deafening roar, and its already twisted branches writhed even more wildly, each branch seeming to come alive, baring its fangs and claws as it lunged out in all directions.
Its leaves, like sharp projectiles, shoot out in swarms, cutting through the air with a "whoosh" sound.
"careful!"
Shen Cheng and Zhong Yingxiu activated a defensive formation together, which barely managed to block the tree demon's attack.
Attacks with swords, talismans, and magical artifacts failed to inflict any damage on the tree demon; instead, they only made it more frenzied.
"We must find its weakness, otherwise we won't stand a chance even if we exhaust our spiritual power," Si Jinchuan shouted, looking at the tree demon's eerie human face.
"Sect Leader Si, would attacking its eyes be enough?" Xiao Shuo asked loudly.
Si Jinchuan frowned, refraining from drawing any conclusions.
However, Xiao Shuo and Su Anying had already ridden their spirit beasts and rushed towards the tree demon's face.
Seemingly angered by the tree demon, countless vines shot out from deep within the ground towards Xiao Shuo and Su Anying.
"what!"
With screams, two figures fell to the ground.
"Luo Zejian, go!"
"Mysterious Sword, hurry!"
The two swords caught Xiao Shuo and Su Anying.
On the other side, Si Jinchuan held the puppet's hand tightly, preventing it from going forward: "Don't be impulsive. You are not Wanxun. Without her power, going up there will only be suicide."
“But I can’t just stand by and watch others go to their deaths.” The puppet broke free from Si Jinchuan’s grasp and retorted, “Even if I’m just a puppet, my current identity is the sect leader of the Twilight Snow Sect. How can I stand idly by?”
Si Jinchuan was stunned, frozen in place by the imposing presence of a puppet.
The puppet flew toward the tree demon on its sword, its eyes filled with determination.
It is not a person, but merely a magical artifact; however, it still has the obligation to carry out its master's mission.
It rushed towards the tree spirit, channeling the spiritual power within its body.
It glanced at its companions on the ground, their faces filled with worry. Although it wasn't affection for the puppet, it still made the puppet's heart tremble.
"boom!"
The firelight illuminated the sky.
