chapter 453: chapter 150: acquiring puppet secrets
subsequently, the person gently touched the jade pendant hanging on his body and murmured to himself:
“this shouldn’t be happening…”
“with the jade pendant given to me by the guild leader, no one below the nascent soul stage should be able to detect me.”
but just as the yellow pine cultivator was puzzled, he suddenly felt danger approaching from behind.
therefore, the yellow pine cultivator quickly turned around.
unexpectedly, to his astonishment, he found the person he was originally following now standing behind him.
taken aback, the yellow pine cultivator quickly spoke up:
“you…”
however, before the yellow pine cultivator could finish speaking, he saw a streak of wǔ cǎi light arriving in front of him.
the yellow pine cultivator hastily tried to dodge, but facing the wǔ cǎi light that had already reached him, he couldn’t react in time.
he was hit directly by the wǔ cǎi light as it entered his body.
“how are you here?”
“and what have you done to me?”
at this moment, the yellow pine cultivator was utterly terrified because he discovered that ever since the wǔ cǎi light entered his body, there was a sense of stagnation in his spiritual power.
it seemed like it might stop flowing at any moment.
this was actually another application of the five elements divine art, using it to hinder the circulation of spiritual power in the opponent’s body, thus achieving the effect of suppressing cultivation and controlling the person.
apart from stifling the circulation of the cultivator’s cultivation, lin jing could also at any moment detonate the wǔ cǎi light that entered his body.
this technique was something lin jing figured out based on the power of the five elements divine art within the heavenly desire demon monarch’s body.
faced with the yellow pine cultivator’s questions, lin jing did not answer.
his eyes were cold as he looked at him and asked:
“who are you?”
“why are you tracking me?”
however, the cultivator raised his head to look at lin jing and spoke out directly:
“fellow daoist, i think you might be mistaken.”
“i was merely passing by, only to be attacked by you for no reason. what are your intentions?”
facing this person’s evasion, lin jing naturally didn’t believe him. lin jing had seen the cultivator’s actions clearly just now.
so, lin jing said coldly:
“from the beginning, i noticed you. do you really think that your jade pendant can truly shield you from being detected?”
hearing this, the cultivator was startled, but he quickly gathered his wits and hastily argued:
“at most, i was just traveling the same way as you…”
before the person could finish, however, lin jing had already interrupted him.
lin jing directly stimulated his divine sense, pressing it toward the cultivator while speaking:
“if you won’t speak, then i have no choice but to conduct a soul search by force.”
feeling the terrifying pressure of lin jing’s divine sense, the cultivator immediately broke into a cold sweat and looked at lin jing with fear, stammering:
“you…”
“nascent soul cultivator…”
“no… that’s wrong, your divine sense… it has reached the nascent soul stage…”
lin jing, looking at him, said:
“so will you talk, or not?”
at this point, faced with lin jing’s threat, the yellow pine cultivator no longer had any semblance of resistance and thus spoke up:
“i am a member of the puppet guild, and i’m doing this under the instructions of our guild leader to track down cultivators who are strangers to xu ye.”
“puppet guild?” lin jing’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.
“why does your puppet guild want to track down cultivators who are strangers to xu ye?”
the cultivator continued:
“because a year ago, the guild leader’s younger brother was killed by a cultivator. by the time our guild leader found out about that cultivator, he had already entered the sea of blood.”
“it wasn’t until over half a month ago that this person returned from the depths of the sea of blood. upon his return, xu ye immediately sought him out.”
“originally, the guild leader thought everything was under control and there was no need for tracking, but unexpectedly, the cultivator changed his appearance and went into hiding. that is why we are searching for unfamiliar cultivators.”
with that explanation, lin jing understood what was happening…
so it turns out, the root of all this was because of that golden core ninth layer cultivator.
having said this, the yellow pine cultivator carefully observed lin jing.
at this moment, he had confirmed that this person before him was most likely the objective of his search.
thereafter, lin jing looked at him and said:
“the actions against unfamiliar cultivators by your puppet guild lately are also because of this matter, right?”
the person hastily nodded and said:
“yes, senior…”
faced with lin jing’s terrifying pressure, the yellow pine cultivator dared not be arrogant and addressed lin jing as a senior.
afterwards.
the person continued, saying:
“moreover, our guild leader has already dealt with most of the unfamiliar cultivators. i believe it won’t be long before he finds you, senior…”
lin jing, looking at the yellow pine cultivator, saw that he seemed hesitant to speak, so he asked:
“is there something you want to say?”
the man hastily nodded, then said:
“senior, i can actually help you deal with the puppet guild if you’d only spare me.”
lin jing then asked:
“how can you help?”
the cultivator then said:
“the puppet guild leader is also aware that you are not easy to deal with. if he were to act against you, he would surely plan to exploit the night when you are less mobile and attempt to use puppets for a sneak attack…”
“you just need to understand this puppetry technique, and you will be able to find a way to counter it…”
“i can teach you the puppetry technique and tell you some of its control methods.”
“this way, you should be able to handle their night ambushes.”
