Two puppets led the way and introduced Xu Chunniang into the courtyard.
"Wait here, the captain will summon you soon."
After saying that, the two puppets walked towards the door.
When leaving, they looked back at her from time to time, discussing something in whispers, and making weird laughs.
Xu Chunniang just pretended not to know, looking at the courtyard without leaving any trace in her eyes.
Looking around this time, I found a lot of puppets.
They range from a puppet guardian who is three feet tall and has a calm aura to a puppet bird and beast that is as small as a palm and is dexterous and lifelike.
There are all kinds of puppets in the courtyard, no less than dozens of them.
The strength of these puppets ranges from weak to strong, and the strongest one even has an aura that is not weaker than those in the middle stage of Void Refining.
Just as she was looking at these puppets, the door creaked and was pushed open from the inside.
A half-human-tall puppet wolf stared at her for a few seconds, then opened its mouth and spat out human words.
"Are you Xu Chunniang, whose whereabouts are unknown after killing Ji Xin?"
"I am."
When the puppet wolf looked at her, Xu Chunniang also looked at it.
The wolf's hair is made of an unknown material. It looks extremely soft, but reflects a cold gray sheen.
"Come with me."
The puppet wolf turned around and stepped into the temple, leaving only half of the door open.
Xu Chunniang smiled, followed the puppet wolf, stepped into the room, and closed the door smoothly.
"You don't seem scared."
On the steps of the main hall, there was a short girl sitting.
She tilted her head, her expression was innocent and ignorant, her two short legs were dangling under the tall steps, and her tone was very determined.
"Why should I be afraid?"
Xu Chunniang smiled lowly. She had already guessed the identity of Lord Du Ling when she saw those exquisite puppets.
Unexpectedly, she turned out to be from the goblin clan.
I just don't know what kind of soul is hidden under her innocent skin.
The little girl frowned, as if she didn't expect that Xu Chunniang was not afraid of herself at all.
However, when she recalled the information she had learned, she understood something.
If the opponent can jump over the rank and kill the enemy, he must have something to rely on.
"In just half a year, you were able to break through from the middle stage of divine transformation to the middle stage of virtual refining, crossing a huge realm. Your cultivation speed is really fast."
"Just give it a try, I don't know why you are looking for me, sir?"
"Originally, I wanted to teach you a lesson and then make you into a puppet, trapping you next to me every day."
The little girl said and laughed, as if she had gotten a beloved toy, "But now, I have changed my mind."
"Oh, why?"
"There is a shortage of materials for refining puppets. I have consumed too much recently and I don't have the materials I need."
The little girl felt a little regretful, "Once the living soul is removed, it must be refined into the puppet body immediately, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced."
"It seems that I escaped, I would like to thank you all."
Xu Chunniang raised her eyes, glanced slowly at the puppet wolf crawling at the little girl's feet, and asked casually.
"Master Dou Ling comes from the spirit world?"
"This is not a secret to begin with. Of course, it is limited to the royal city."
The little girl sighed leisurely, "I accidentally ended up in this terrible place. In order to survive, I had no choice but to turn to the devil's path.
The devil world is really boring, the weather is always gloomy and gloomy no matter where it is, it’s extremely annoying.”
Speaking of this, she did not hide the look of disgust on her face.
Xu Chunniang blinked and followed her words and asked, "Since you don't like the demon world, why don't you think of a way to leave, Master?"
"You think I don't want to? Isn't it because the boundary wall is too thick?"
The little girl rolled her eyes unceremoniously, "If you want to open a direct channel between the demon world and the spiritual world, you need at least three Mahayana monks to work together.
There are only three Demon Emperors in the entire Moyun Continent, and they still dislike each other. It will be impossible for me to return to the spirit world in this life."
Her tone was low, and she seemed to have resigned herself to her fate.
"Really?"
Xu Chunniang pulled her lips and smiled softly, knowing that if she continued to test, the other party would not reveal any more information, so she was too lazy to make excuses.
She raised her hand slightly, and the strong wind from her fingertips extinguished the candle in the corner of the hall.
A wisp of delicate green smoke replaced the bright candlelight, and the light in the palace dimmed.
The puppet wolf arched its body and looked at Xu Chunniang, its two black wolf eyes gleaming with cold light.
The soft hair on its body had stood up at some point.
The little girl stepped on the wolf's head with her smooth instep, smoothed its fur from head to toe, and the puppet wolf lay down docilely.
"You're so good, why are you putting out my candle? Is it possible that you demons like to stay in dark places by nature?"
"You demons."
Xu Chunniang repeated these words with a faint smile on her lips.
"It seems that after you switched to the devil's path, you are not suitable for your new identity."
The smile on the little girl's face faded slightly, and there was a trace of sternness in her condescending eyes.
"That's right, I don't like this ghost place, and I also hate the cannibalism of demon cultivators! Such despicable and disgusting cultivators should all die!"
As the words fell, the puppet wolf under her feet moved.
It rushed towards Xu Chunniang, as fast as a shadow.
Xu Chunniang raised her eyelids, and she didn't know when the demon-suppressing knife was quietly held in her hand.
She slashed horizontally at the puppet wolf, and the two collided, making a harsh sound of metal and stone.
After the puppet wolf was chopped away, he rolled on the spot, shook his hair majestically, and found that he was unscathed.
The little girl's face was expressionless, but she was a little surprised in her heart. Her eyes fell on the knife in Xu Chunniang's hand.
Looking at the long knife in her hand, her expression gradually became suspicious.
This is... a long sword made from the Demon Suppressing Stone!
The demon-suppressing stone has the ability to restrain demons and is extremely difficult to refine.
Since the other party can refine a long knife made of the Demon Suppressing Stone, it means that she has something that can restrain the Demon Suppressing Stone!
The little girl's expression changed, she looked at the puppet wolf that rushed to Xu Chunniang again, and shouted loudly, "Xiao Hui, come back!"
However, it's still too late.
The puppet wolf wanted to kill for her. When it heard the cry, its claws had already slapped the head of the female nun in front of it. It was like an arrow from a string, and it had no choice but to shoot.
Xu Chunniang's eyes were slightly cold. As her cultivation improved, she could control more and more Nether Fires.
Since the fur of this puppet wolf is extremely strong and even the demon-suppressing knife can't destroy it, let's try Nether Fire!
Black flames surged up silently, wrapped around the puppet wolf's claws, and melted them into a ball of molten iron.
The puppet wolf howled and hurriedly backed away. One of its front paws was no longer in shape.
"Xiao Hui!"
The little girl felt so distressed that she quickly stepped forward and hugged the puppet wolf.
Although Xiao Hui is a puppet, her puppetry skills are very exquisite. If the puppet body is injured, Xiao Hui will also feel pain!
