I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 976: Chapter 536 Narcissus the Sage_2 Chapter 976: Chapter 536 Narcissus the Sage_2 “Within the Immortal Gate, I consider myself an expert in Puppetry Technique as well. At your level, aside from my teacher Che Yucheng, the only other person I can think of is Xin Ji. Moreover, I’ve heard from the people at Jumang Academy that Qing Nu looks exactly like your daughter.”

Upon hearing this, the puppet hesitated unexpectedly for several seconds.

“You, what is your relationship with Qing Nu?”

“A friend, I suppose.”

“Friend can mean many things. Can you elaborate? I won’t mind.”

Chen Mobai grew annoyed after hearing what the puppet said.

“What business is it of yours what my relationship with Qing Nu is, even if you do mind!”

As he spoke, purple electricity flowed from the Purple Electric Sword in Chen Mobai’s palm. The spiritual energy in the Guda Courtyard began to respond to his command, turning into specks of electrical light that gradually spread to form a magnetic field of electricity.

“You…”

The puppet tried to say something else when it suddenly found it couldn’t synthesize its electronic voice anymore.

“This current can specifically counter puppets?!”

Chen Mobai was himself a Rank-3 Puppet Master from the Immortal Gate. Utilizing Enlightenment Tea, he had comprehended all the technical aspects of the Formless Puppet, and his understanding was no less than that of Che Yucheng.

He had previously conceived how to quickly unravel a puppet should he encounter one.

The key components of the Immortal Gate’s puppets were primarily made of bionic materials, using neural currents to transmit information and commands.

After achieving Unity of Man and Sword with the Purple Electric Sword, he could manipulate even the most minute electrical currents to accomplish this.

When the puppet realized its movements were becoming rigid, its body’s green luminescence flickered. Before Chen Mobai’s astonished eyes, it suddenly disintegrated into pieces.

“Did it self-destruct?”

Frowning, Chen Mobai took out a Yellow Skin Gourd and began examining the fragments of the puppet, manipulated by the Primordial Yang Sword Evil.

Soon, he discovered a core similar to the Heavenly Calculation Bead.

However, this core was blue-black, emitting a cold aura.

[Be sure to protect Qing Nu and be careful not to go near Red Sandstone City. There lies a sinister individual, a reincarnated soldier from the Ascension Sect.]

As Chen Mobai picked up the core, a deliberately preserved message was conveyed to him.

After learning this information, Chen Mobai’s gaze abruptly tightened.

Those from the Ascension Sect capable of reincarnation by disintegration were considered equivalent to Nascent Soul Superiors in the Immortal Gate.

If there indeed was such an existence hidden near Red Sandstone City, was their current lineup insufficient?

Did he need to report this to the higher-ups of the Immortal Gate?

Chen Mobai could only contact Master Chengxuan from the Dance Tool Dao Academy among the Nascent Soul Superiors.

However, reporting it would inevitably involve Qing Nu and Xin Ji.

Moreover, it could also be a feint from Xin Ji.

Chen Mobai was not certain that Xin Ji’s words were true.

Tell Kaiyuan Hall or Lan Haitian and the others?

After considering many things, Chen Mobai felt it was prudent to report the matter, but he couldn’t be the one to appear there.

After much thought, he finally came up with a plan.

As the top figure of Yu Wood City, it would be easy for him to find out where Gu Changfeng was detained.

Dividing his mind into thoughts, he controlled a Formless Puppet and arrived outside of the prison.

After waiting a long time, he finally saw a familiar figure.

Lin Yin, holding documents, walked out from the prison with a calm gaze, and beside her was Qing Nu.

The two had apparently just finished speaking with Gu Changfeng. It was unclear what news had been divulged, as Lin Yin’s eyes shone with excitement.

“Who would have imagined that the Devour God Technique could actually…”

Lin Yin’s sigh was cut short when she sensed something amiss. She abruptly turned her head toward a large tree by the road.

A strange aura no less powerful than her own had attracted her attention, but the source seemed to realize it had been exposed and immediately began to move away.

“You go back to the prison. If I’m not back in ten minutes, notify the deputy chief of the group.”

Lin Yin’s expression was grave as she spoke to Qing Nu, then she employed her movement technique and vanished from her original spot, rushing towards the area where she sensed the strange fluctuations of spiritual energy.

Indeed, the Sky-Mending Group’s people are all fearless in the face of death.

Chen Mobai’s Formless Puppet sensed the biomagnetic field of Lin Yin following it, nodded slightly, and then stopped. After cutting down a Spirit Wood with a wave of his hand and leaving behind a piece of paper with words pieced together from newspaper fonts, he disappeared from the spot.

Once a Top-grade Spirit Stone is placed inside the Formless Puppet, it can burst forth with the power of the Golden Core Stage.

Lin Yin immediately felt the peculiar spiritual energy surge in speed and then, suddenly, it vanished from the range of her divine sense.

She frowned and pursued for another few steps, quickly arriving at the place where the spiritual energy had just skyrocketed and then vanished.

At first glance, she saw the cut-down Spirit Wood and the crookedly pieced-together newspaper scrap on top of it.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yin’s complexion changed dramatically in an instant.

…

Lan Haitian and Gongsun Jielu shared a surprised look after reading the scrap of paper Lin Yin had brought over.

Lan Haitian, “Besides you, who else has seen this paper scrap?”

Lin Yin, “No one else. I did not have Qing Nu follow me.”

Lan Haitian, “Hmm, I will report this matter to the chief of the group. Remember, you must not reveal it to anyone but yourself.”

After listening, Lin Yin nodded solemnly, then stepped back and closed the door.

“Guess, who is reminding us?”

Gongsun Jielu looked at the paper scrap again and asked with some astonishment.

Lan Haitian, “To toy with Lin Yin, at the very least, it must be a cultivator at our rank.”

Gongsun Jielu, “Then it’s quite obvious, in Yu Wood City besides us, there is only one Golden Core Master.”

After hearing this, Lan Haitian picked up his phone and made calls to some informants within the Sky-Mending Group.

Soon, he put down the phone and shook his head.

Lan Haitian, “Chen Mobai was teaching at Qing Sang Academy today. The vice-principal of the academy, many teachers, and students were present in his class, and he has not left yet, possessing a perfect alibi.”

Gongsun Jielu, “If I remember correctly, he is the disciple of Che Yucheng, his graduation masterpiece being the Formless Puppet.”

Lan Haitian, “But you must know, to reach the Golden Core Stage strength, the Formless Puppet must use top-grade Spirit Stones, and the whereabouts of every single top-grade Spirit Stone within the Immortal Gate is clear – he does not have one.”

Hearing this, Gongsun Jielu didn’t say anything more. She pointed to the paper scrap, raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked Lan Haitian how to handle it.

“Report to the Superior.”

Soon, the office where the two were situated opened a void, and a girl with white long hair, white eyebrows, and skin white and smooth like jade stepped out.

“Paying respects to Master Narcissus!”

“Hmm, stand up.”

This operation, although nominally led by Lan Haitian and Gongsun Jielu, was in fact personally supervised by the minister of the Department of Law Enforcement.

Originally, Master Chengxuan himself wanted to come and clean house, but to avoid bias, the Immortal Gate still dispatched the appropriately positioned Master Narcissus.

“That’s the situation.”

After listening to Lan Haitian’s report, Master Narcissus also read the paper scrap and suddenly burst into laughter.

“I had thought this was merely a relaxing journey, but unexpectedly, it’s turning out to be quite interesting.”

…

The Sky-Mending Group and the Department of Law Enforcement had prepared a lot for this operation.

So, on the third day of their arrival in Yu Wood City, they had already notified Chen Mobai to set off towards Red Sandstone City.

Since it was to capture a Golden Core Master, they all traveled light and after leaving Yu Wood City by car, they directly activated a specially made Flying Talisman, rendering everyone’s forms concealed as if they were invisible currents in the sky heading towards Red Sandstone City.

And after entering the territory of Red Sandstone City, they all descended.

Upon landing, Chen Mobai stood on the outermost edge.

Qing Nu immediately walked over and handed him a bottle of water.

“Thank you.”

Chen Mobai smiled at her, then looked up at the Biyu Wutong Tree that was now within sight.
