Xu Qing stared at Erniu.

At that moment, the wind blew across the ice plain, stirring up snowflakes.

The woman in the snow looked even more charming. However, in Xu Qing’s eyes, everything was just a dream…

Eldest Senior Brother, there are flaws in your previous plan.

Xu Qing held the recording jade slip in his hand and didn’t let go at all as he calmly spoke.

Erniu’s gaze swept past Xu Qing’s hand that was holding the recording jade slip and he muttered a few words inwardly.

It had to be said that Xu Qing’s move still had a certain lethality to Erniu, who had always cared about his face. At the very least, Erniu couldn’t be as smug as before.

Erniu coughed.

What flaws? Feng Lintao’s wanted identity?

Xu Qing nodded.

I had already thought of this. Feng Lintao, being wanted, is naturally unsuitable, but Yue Dong has more than one puppet.”

As he spoke, Erniu raised his hand and waved it. Immediately, a coffin flew out of his storage bag and landed on the ice plain.

This coffin was pitch-black and a large number of marks appeared on it. There were also a few nails that nailed the coffin lid tightly.

As Erniu performed a series of hand seals, the coffin shook. The nails on it trembled and pulled out on their own. The marks and runes on it also quickly flickered, causing the lid of the coffin to be opened.

It revealed the corpse of a seven or eight-year-old boy.

This corpse’s entire body was pitch-black and there were livor mortis spots everywhere. Its entire body emitted the fluctuations of a perfected Nihility cultivator.

There’s no need for us to rely on the Six Thieves Delusions to make puppets. I found this one in Yue Dong’s storage bag.”

I’ve already found out his background from Yue Dong’s memories. He’s her junior brother.”

Yue Dong’s lineage is very famous in the Demon Feather Holy Land. Her master was a Great Immortal Master when he was alive. After that, Yue Dong and his junior apprentice brother fought for many years. In the end, he was killed by Yue Dong and refined into a corpse puppet.”

When Erniu said this, he clicked his tongue and his words carried a hint of teasing.

Although Yue Dong later broke through and no longer needed this corpse puppet to fight, she kept it because of her past relationship with it. From time to time, she would torture it.”

It can be seen how much hatred she has for this junior brother. So, Little Qing, look. Compared to them, don’t I treat you extremely well?”

You have to cherish it!

Xu Qing nodded.

Erniu was satisfied. He ended the lesson and pointed at the coffin.

Little Qing, you can transform into him first.

Here is the medicinal pill for you.”

As he spoke, Erniu threw out a black-colored medicinal pill. It was none other than the Cloth Race’s Profound Heaven Demon Moon Pill.

Xu Qing took it and glanced at the corpse in front of him. A hint of contemplation appeared in his eyes.

Senior Brother, how many times can this pill be used?

Erniu chuckled.

Don’t worry, you can use it many times. If you don’t like this puppet, when we reach the holy land later, we’ll find a charming female cultivator like Yue Dong. You can just transform again.”

At that time, you and I, Qing and Niu, will definitely be able to stir up the holy land.”

Erniu was proud.

Xu Qing pretended not to hear such lofty aspirations. He pressed the medicinal pill on his forehead, and at the next instant, black gas rose from his body and transformed into a cloth that completely enveloped him.

After that, in Erniu’s eyes, Xu Qing’s figure began to transform, becoming smaller and smaller. His skin also turned pitch-black and a large number of livor mortis spots appeared.

There was also a dense aura of death lingering around his body.

The entire process only lasted for ten minutes or so. What appeared in front of Erniu was the figure of the corpse boy.

Xu Qing opened his eyes.

His black skin, white pupils and eyes made him look like a malicious ghost, giving off an intimidating feeling.

Not bad!

Erniu licked his lips.

Xu Qing turned his head and glanced at the corpse in the coffin before looking at Erniu. He suddenly raised his hand and waved it.

Immediately, the Great Emperor’s needle appeared out of thin air. It first shuttled through the corpse, connecting its fate and karma to Xu Qing.

After doing this, under Xu Qing’s control, the needle flew toward Erniu and continued to suture, allowing Erniu and Yue Dong’s fate to connect.

This way, regardless of karma, fate, or aura, they were all completely blended.

Perfect!

Erniu’s eyes lit up and he waved his hand proudly.

Let’s go, Junior Brother. Let’s go home.

As he spoke, Erniu’s delicate body swayed and headed straight for the sky.

Invisible threads spread out from the boy Xu Qing had transformed into and connected to Erniu. This was a manifestation of the authority of their Six Thieves Delusions.

With this immortal art, the final flaw would be covered.

At that moment, Erniu had already risen into the air. In the air, he performed a series of hand seals with both hands, waving them at the sky.

With this wave, a rift instantly formed in the sky.

It was like a wound in the sky that was extremely unstable and was rapidly healing.

This was a spell found by Erniu from Yue Dong’s memories and it could teleport them to the Demon Feather Holy Land.

At the moment the spell activated, intense anticipation surfaced in Erniu’s eyes. However, he quickly retracted it. His gaze turned cold and his face was like ice. With a cold intent, he stepped into the rift.

With a grab of her jade-like hand, she seemed to have grasped the fate of the corpse puppet boy behind her and… pulled him into the crack.

At the next instant, the two of them disappeared.

The rift instantly closed.

Only the wind and snow blew past this place. At the same time, there were also some snowflakes that followed Xu Qing and Erniu to the holy land.

During the teleportation process, a mysterious power descended and locked onto the two of them, emitting a vast might that probed their identities at a deeper level.

This detection method didn’t check aura or bloodline but fate.

In the eastern part of the Demon Feather Holy Land.

In a distant plain far from the Eastern Emperor’s Dao Altar, a place called Skyfall, the spring breeze swept through, bringing the fragrance of flowers and the sounds of birdsong.

There were no anomalous substances here.

The density of spiritual energy here was rarely seen in Wanggu.

In this place that was like a fairyland, there was a teleportation array.

This array formation was connected to Wanggu and was one of the many array formations of the Demon Feather Holy Land.

At that moment, more than a hundred Demon Feather cultivators were sitting cross-legged around the array formation.

Their clothes were all silver robes that were imprinted with the pattern of the starry sky. They emitted extraordinary fluctuations and each of them had wings on their backs.

Their cultivation levels were different, but the weakest was at the Nascent Soul realm. As for the leader, he had reached the five or six worlds Soul Accumulation realm, and there was more than one of them.

They were the team that guarded this array during wartime. They were in charge of verifying the identities of all those who returned through this array.

Although the array formations of the Demon Feather Holy Land could detect the infiltration of cultivators who weren’t Demon Feather cultivators, in order to prevent any accidents during this war, all the teleportation arrays were verified by Demon Feather cultivators again.

What they mainly verified was whether the other party had any records of leaving the holy land. Moreover, if necessary, they could forcefully search, including the storage bag.

At that moment, the teleportation array suddenly shone. The light and fluctuations immediately attracted the gazes of the surrounding cultivators. All of them circulated their cultivation and their auras spread out. Their gazes were sharp, looking like they were prepared to face an enemy.

Soon, snow and wind drifted out from within the formation. Then, in the light of the formation, two figures—one tall and one short, one female and one male —rapidly appeared.

A few breaths later, as the array formation stopped, Xu Qing, who had transformed into a corpse, and Erniu, who had transformed into Yue Dong, appeared in front of the Demon Feather cultivators.

The moment he appeared, Xu Qing was expressionless. He knew that he was a corpse puppet now, so he didn’t need to have any emotions.

He would leave everything to Eldest Senior Brother.

Erniu didn’t disappoint. At this moment, he raised his chin and walked out of the array formation with a cold expression.

When the surrounding Demon Feather cultivators saw Yue Dong, their expressions changed. Some even lowered their heads and greeted her.

Greetings, Immortal Master!

When Xu Qing heard their words, he followed without any change in his expression.

Yue Dong ignored this. Just as she was about to walk out of the array formation, a figure walked over from the crowd and appeared outside the array formation.

“Halt!”

Erniu’s gaze landed on this person and spoke coldly.

You want to stop me?

The cultivator looked hesitant but he still took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice.

In times of war, everything is strictly enforced. It is my duty, please

understand.”

Immortal Master Yue Dong, you indeed have a record of going out and can return. However, there are no records of the corpse puppet behind you. We have to verify it and you have to tell us its identity.”

Yue Dong was expressionless and didn’t say anything.

The cultivator gritted his teeth and performed a series of hand seals, mobilizing the power of the array formation here to envelop Xu Qing. At the same time, the cultivator took out a jade token and began to verify if Xu Qing was from the holy land.

A long time later, as the verification ended, the cultivator heaved a sigh of relief inwardly.

However, he was a little hesitant about the identity of the corpse.

At that moment, Yue Dong calmly spoke.

He’s my junior brother. Back then, he fought with me for the identity of the

Immortal Master and was refined into a corpse puppet by me.”

As soon as Yue Dong finished speaking, the hearts of the surrounding cultivators stirred.

They knew Yue Dong’s identity. The other party’s master was once a famous Great Immortal Master in the eastern part of the Demon Feather Holy Land when he was alive.

He was in charge of the eastern Immortal Arts Hall.

Not everyone in the holy land could learn the immortal arts. Even if they occasionally came into contact with them, they would only have a superficial understanding of them.

Only the Immortal Arts Hall contained truly terrifying immortal arts.

Only those with the identity of an Immortal Master could learn them.

As for the junior brother that Yue Dong mentioned, they had also heard of him being refined. However, this was the first time they saw this corpse puppet.

Yue Dong’s words caused the cultivator in the lead to ponder.

If it was anyone else, he might have probed deeper. However, he was wary of Yue Dong.

‘Those who cultivate immortal arts are all lunatics… Moreover, this Yue Dong has a good relationship with the Lan family. Now that the Lan family has encountered a calamity and that lord has returned… This is a sensitive period. It’s best not to be involved in it.’

At the thought of this, the cultivator retreated and made way for Yue Dong and her corpse puppet to walk out of the array formation and fly into the distance.

The gazes of the surrounding cultivators also landed on Yue Dong’s figure. However, a few of them secretly took out voice transmission jade slips and quickly spread the news of Yue Dong’s return.

In the sky, Erniu smiled faintly.

Junior Brother, you should be able to find your new identity yourself.

When Xu Qing heard this, he calmly spoke.

I hope the person who comes will be suitable.

At the same time, as the few cultivators in charge of the teleportation array spread the news of Yue Dong’s return, someone in a cave abode on a bare mountain in the east suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a blood-red hue.

Yue Dong, you’ve finally appeared. I’ve used the resources I obtained from the battle merits I gained from the human race to increase my cultivation base by a lot. As for your relationship with the Lan family, it has also lost its influence following the Lan family’s calamity.”

“It’s time for the grudge between us to be settled!

At the next instant, the cave abode rumbled. A figure rode a blood mist and headed straight for the sky.

At the same time, in the eastern part of the Demon Feather Holy Land, near the center, a huge war chariot was rumbling forward.

There were cultivators guarding the front and back of the war chariots with solemn expressions.

The entire war chariot was incomparably luxurious and majestic.

Right at this moment, Excited laughter suddenly rang out from the war chariot.

Change the direction. Let’s not go to the battlefield first and head to the Skvfall Plains!”

The chariot rumbled and immediately changed its destination, heading straight for the Skyfall Plains.

In the chariot, there was a young man with a fair complexion dressed in luxurious robes. At this moment, his face was full of excitement as he held a jade slip in his hand, his eyes brimming with endless tenderness.

Miss Dong’er, you have finally returned… Do you know the pain of longing?

During the 529 days you were gone, I prayed for you every day.”

Little Dong, rest assured, I am no longer the person I once was. From now on, as long as I’m here, no one can bully you.”
