After the immortal disappeared

Bai Ziqi turned sideways and glanced around. Sure enough, he saw something jumping on the ground, but it was previously hidden in the snow and branches and was not noticeable.

It was the monster's two broken fingers, with sharp nails. They were cut off by the servant when he attacked Yuan Dong before.

Now they rolled quickly towards the monster, like iron filings rushing to a magnet.

Bai Ziqi had a keen eye and noticed that the cross section of the broken fingers was unusually dry and there was no blood stain.

What's going on? The monster on the opposite side was not made of flesh and blood?

The two broken fingers jumped back to the feet of the original owner and then merged with it.

This characteristic was even more bizarre.

"Get ready! This thing has the ability to regenerate after being broken, so it is difficult to kill it directly."

As soon as the voice fell, the demon puppet that was fighting with the snow leopard roared, and its figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

It appeared again, right behind Bai Ziqi!

It flashed over at a distance of five feet.

Then, it hit Bai Ziqi on the back of the head.

To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. This guy looks like the leader, so killing him is half the battle.

But this swing of the claws was like hitting a steel plate, because Bai Ziqi had an invisible shield around him. He was safe and sound, but the monster was shaken three feet away.

Bai Ziqi took advantage of the situation to chase, grabbed the broken pestle with his left hand and smashed it hard, making a three-finger-wide cut on the monster's shoulder.

It roared, and a voice suddenly rang in Bai Ziqi and everyone's heart:

"It hurts, you deserve to die!"

Two large nets were just thrown, one on the left and one on the right, to trap the monster in the middle.

But the monster fell to the ground and disappeared from the original place.

The two large nets fell to the ground, trapping nothing.

Bai Ziqi pointed, and the snow leopard pounced on the servant.

Sure enough, the next moment, the monster appeared behind the servant and opened its mouth to bite his head.

The snow leopard turned into light and knocked it down.

The two inhuman monsters fought again.

Bai Ziqi made an accurate judgment and found that this thing was like a wolf, always looking for an opportunity to attack the weak. The servant boy had just been injured and his arm was broken, so he was most likely to be the priority target.

The monster fought very bravely, as if he had no pain at all, and no matter how many wounds the leopard gave it, it would heal in the blink of an eye.

However... Bai Ziqi's eyes narrowed slightly. The wound on the demon puppet's shoulder seemed to have never healed?

He couldn't help but look at the broken pestle in his hand. He clearly remembered that it was this thing that caused it.

The broken pestle hit the demon puppet, could it hurt it, or even hinder its recovery?

Well, think about it carefully, the monster has been very concerned about this broken pestle from the beginning, and tried to snatch it away again and again.

"Form a formation, don't let it escape!"

...

A quarter of an hour later.

The area around the stable finally returned to calm.

The guards were all panting and slowly put away their weapons.

Bai Ziqi held a glass bottle with a round belly and a small mouth in his hand. The bottle was transparent, and the demon puppet was inside!

It was very unconvinced and repeatedly hit the bottle, but it just couldn't get out.

The mouth of the bottle was blocked by a brown fruit that looked like a large hazelnut, with several golden symbols engraved on the hard shell. Dong Ruiru would interpret these words as the secret language of the devil here.

Every time it hit, the golden symbol would jump.

With one bottle and one plug, the Ashmona that came and went without a trace was trapped alive.

Of course, Bai Ziqi didn't know its name, and Bai Shiqi came over and whispered:

"Xiaoer is dying."

Bai Er is the servant.

Bai Ziqi walked to him and saw that he was leaning against the tree and his breath had stopped, but his eyes were still open. He couldn't help but sigh and gently closed his eyes for him.

In terms of intelligence, the servant was not as good as Bai Shiqi, and in terms of bravery, the servant was not as good as Bai Shi and Bai Shiyi, but he had been with Bai Ziqi the longest and was the most loyal to his master.

For a man like Bai Ziqi, who is in a high position, the quality he values ​​most in his subordinates is loyalty. There are too many smart people in this world, he can have as many as he wants, and he can replace them with as many as they die.

Loyalty is the only thing that is precious.

The servant boy followed Bai Ziqi through life and death many times, but he didn't expect to die in this seemingly peaceful and harmless Yongquan Villa.

Bai Ziqi also looked at the other three bodies, and said after a while: "Cremate them, take the ashes back to Lingxu City for burial, and return to their roots."

Bai Shiqi urged the candle spirit to quickly devour the four bodies.

Looking at the flames that reached the sky, Bai Ziqi felt bad.

The combat power of this monster was stronger than he had initially expected.

There shouldn't be such a monster in the suburbs of Tianshui. But no one had mentioned this demon puppet to him in advance, not Liang Zhushi, and not Qingyang.

Did they ignore it and didn't know it existed?

He waved his hand to call Bai Shi:

"Tomorrow morning, you will set off to return to Lingxu City and hand this monster over to the Heavenly Palace. Tell them that this is Cao Wendao's demon puppet, and there is something strange about it."

"Yes." Bai Shi couldn't help his curiosity, "Master Dushi, this is actually the demon puppet of the master of Honglu? How do you know it's not under He Xiao's command?"

Didn't Qingyang Regent say that He Xiao also has a demon puppet master under his command?

Bai Shiqi answered casually on the side: "If it is He Xiao's, he can command the demon puppet to attack us directly. Why use the fish corpse to lure it?"

Bai Ziqi hummed: "Although the fish corpse trap is exquisite, He Xiao should know that this demon puppet can't kill me. Sending it over will lose a good demon puppet for nothing. If I were him, I would leave without looking back after setting up the formation and quickly find a place to welcome the arrival of Emperor Liujiang."

The grandest Emperor Liujiang in 150 years is about to come. For practitioners, this is the top priority.

"Besides, this demon puppet is like an ownerless object. The only demon puppet master who appeared near Tianshui City in the past month and lost his life was Cao Wendao!" Bai Ziqi said seriously, "Its combat power is excellent, including some taboo things on it, which are very similar to the work of Cao Wendao."

"After Cao was killed, this demon puppet escaped and lingered around Taoxi and Yongquan Villa. He Xiao simply lured it to attack." Bai Ziqi pointed to the bottle, "Cao Wendao is talented and has unique research on demon puppets. His relics are very valuable to the Heavenly Palace!"

After his analysis, everyone was convinced.

Bai Ziqi sighed secretly.

If he didn't enter Yongquan Villa tonight, he wouldn't fight this inexplicable fight and wouldn't suffer these losses.

But how could he not come!

Even if he knew that He Xiao must have dug a pit here to wait for him, he had to come!

He Xiao/Emperor Jiuyou has lived here for several months. There are traces of this person everywhere in Yongquan Villa. As long as Bai Ziqi studies it carefully, he can understand him better.

He Xiao saw this point clearly, so he set up the Tiangang Transformation Formation here.

He could have told Bai Ziqi directly, but he had to go around in circles and let the other party solve the puzzle seriously, because he knew that Bai Ziqi only believed in himself and his own judgment.

His understanding of Bai Ziqi and his grasp of people's hearts are really too thorough.

In the past, Bai Ziqi always treated others like this.
