"How many?" Ji Ya asked softly with a restrained smile.

"There are three people on the surface, and there is one more in the dark." Lin Cangming replied firmly, "Chase, adapt to the situation."

After he finished speaking, he jumped a few feet away and disappeared into the shadowed woods in the blink of an eye. Ji Ya followed after him, holding a short knife in his hand, and ran up the treetops silently.

Lin Cangming's crow stood on a branch, lowered its head and combed its wings, looking natural and harmless. The three people who chased and killed Cui Yao all the way did not notice the obscure emotion in the crow's blood-colored eyes.

Cui Yao's body is highly poisoned, one against three, and his sword style is sharp without turning around. It is the method used by the Law Enforcement Hall without looking good, but it also adds new injuries.

"You guys from Southern Border, who dare to act presumptuously in the realm of cultivation, the Yan family has sent people to respond, and you are already the turtles in the urn!" Cui Yao raised his tone and sternly reprimanded, turning around and sweeping with a sword, the majestic spiritual power was suppressed but it was a feint attack , he took advantage of the momentum and stomped the ground to soar into the sky, and stomped in the air to make a gesture to flee with the sword.

However, the three besieging men were equally expressionless and indifferent to Cui Yao's warning. They unleashed their sabers at the same time in tacit understanding, and the three sword lights chased Cui Yao directly, forcing him to turn sharply in the air.

When the sword energy fell, Cui Yao just breathed a sigh of relief, and when he was cursing Lin Cangming for not being trustworthy in his heart, a puff of smoke suddenly appeared behind him, and he hurriedly twisted his body back to block the sword, and the harsh impact exploded, and the aftermath of spiritual power spread to the surroundings Suddenly, Cui Yao felt that all internal organs were out of place, and was blasted down by a force as heavy as a thousand pounds, and the green leaves were splashed with blood like rain.

But the expected dull pain from the back hitting the ground did not come. Cui Yao shook the sword tightly, and found himself lying in the soft white bed, which was sticky to the touch, and he shivered immediately. , Sitting up clutching his chest, he found himself hanging in the middle of an ancient tree less than three feet above the ground by a spider web.

"Did you forget that you still have the antidote?" Lin Cangming stood firmly on the slender branch, held the firecracker in his left hand and pulled the trigger towards the sky. Fire and rain fell in all directions, and bursts of dangerous purple smoke rose from the ground. .

"Cui doesn't know when you will come, how dare you spoil the plan and let the pursuers notice and escape." Cui Yao's tone was a little annoyed, and he silently swallowed the antidote for Ximaisan, "Your Excellency is late."

"I thought you could still hold on. It seems that I overestimated you. I made a mistake in my judgment. I'm really sorry." Lin Cangming said calmly, and the ammunition that restrained the three pursuers continued. Behind the seemingly defenseless Lin Cangming.

Seeing this, Cui Yao didn't bother to speak back, and tried his best to break through the spider web laid by Lin Cangming and raised his voice to remind: "Be careful behind your back!"

Lin Cangming raised his eyebrows, a clump of blue fire sprang up in the palm of his left hand, he turned around nimbly with his toes pointing at the branches, and slapped the black mist with his palm, the flames instantly swallowed up the black mist, revealing the figure hidden inside.

Seeing that the leader was in crisis, the three people on the ground raised their swords again, and the sword energy surged into the air and aimed at Lin Cangming. It dissipates and leaves behind a faint scent of pine and bamboo.

Before Cui Yao had time to make a move, he saw the three of them fell to the ground at the same time, and said in surprise, "This sword energy... distraction period?"

"Are you surprised?" Ji Ya landed lightly against the whirling broken leaves, pulled a sword flower and put the saber behind his back and smiled, "Master Cui has also seen that I act resolutely and eclecticly, of course I have to be worthy of it." strength."

Cui Yao: "...Is this bragging?"

"Just kidding, Mr. Cui is a decent person, don't worry about it." Ji Ya cleared his throat and walked forward. He didn't need to hide his strength in front of Lin Cangming. The neck of the man behind the smoke pinned him to the tree.

"Where is the puppet master?" Seeing that he was still struggling, Lin Cangming couldn't help feeling angry. If the puppet master was really in Muling Mountain, he would dig out the man's head and find out the location of the puppet master's lair. Come.

The man was dressed in simple black clothes, and the blue and purple flames spread around his neck, threatening his fragile head like a sling about to be executed. He couldn't break free, so he simply closed his eyes as if he was dead.

"Your Excellency, don't do anything at will. Even people from southern Xinjiang who enter the realm of self-cultivation should be dealt with according to the law, and they must not abuse their selfishness..." Cui Yao slightly adjusted his breath and completely detoxified the poison of Ximaisan, looking at the lip line under Lin Cangming's mask Stretched and cold, Lin Cangming broke the man's arm with a single shot before he could finish a word of persuasion.

Cui Yao opened his mouth and said angrily, "Don't abuse the lynching in front of the guards! Do you still have me in your eyes?"

Ji Ya patted Cui Yao's shoulder sympathetically, passed by him, and persuaded Lin Cangming amidst the man's screams, "Stop beating."

Cui Yao couldn't help but feel a little relieved when he heard the words, Lin Cangming turned around and asked Ji Ya: "What do you think?"

"Don't they know how to study Yanjia? Peel off his skin piece by piece, corrode every inch of his flesh, and smash all the remaining bones to see if he is immortal." Ji Ya was sweating coldly In front of the man, he narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth to reveal a cruel smile.

Lin Cangming felt the rising anger and coldness behind him, he pretended not to know, and nodded in approval: "Maybe I should learn more about torture."

"Find me to sign up, and I'll give you a discount right now, and arrange practice immediately." Ji Ya threw the dagger in his hand and gestured at the corner of the man's eyes, blinking and tilting his head at Lin Cangming, "Give you the knife? I can teach you by hand."

Lin Cangming really took the knife, let Ji Ya hold his wrist, and talked about where to strike in a serious manner.

When the blade touched his eyelids, the man finally couldn't take it anymore, and gasped and shouted: "I don't know any puppet masters! I'm just on a mission to kill people. If I get out of the barrier, I will be randomly sent to a hundred miles away. I don't even know where it is!"

"Then do you know where the missing people are?" Ji Ya asked for Cui Yao.

"I've only seen the corpses they left behind, in a swamp." The man replied immediately, and then howled bitterly, "I've told you everything I know, betraying the boss is death, I won't go back, let me follow you guys Bar!"

"Do you think I can't see what little tricks your right hand is doing?" Lin Cangming sneered, swirling the dagger in his palm, the wind blade instantly cut off the man's remaining right hand.

The twitching five fingers seemed to be pinching something, Ji Ya glanced at it, and found that the puller on the man's thumb was slightly bright.

"Is it a signal for help?" Ji Ya bent down and pulled down the finger, turning around suspiciously, "It doesn't look like it, the range of spiritual power fluctuations is very small, and the frequency is very short..."

"Do you only care about pulling your fingers?" Cui Yao asked anxiously in a low voice, but unfortunately, he was in the Nascent Soul Stage and couldn't stop Ji Ya and Lin Cangming from doing it.

"Calm down, Master Cui, you can close your eyes if you're not used to it." Ji Ya raised a finger, looked at Lin Cangming and moved back, and said, "Shhh—"

"The detailed location of your camp, please answer me." Lin Cangming directly imprinted a cluster of flames on the man's brow. Now, it's not convenient for him to use his spells fully, so he can only ask briefly first.

Cui Yao also wore glasses of general contempt for the righteous way of cultivation, and couldn't help frowning unhappily when he saw the technique of prying into memory, and stepped back a few steps to see the situation of the three unconscious people on the ground.

"There is an enchantment... I don't know." The man replied in a daze.

"Have you ever heard of a puppet master?" Lin Cangming let out a disappointment with his head tilted.

"The puppet master is at the highest place, we can't see it." The man said truthfully.

Lin Cangming's eyes lit up, this is good news, it shows that the puppet master is indeed in Muling Mountain.

"Where are the civilians they kidnapped?" Cui Yao squatted beside the three pursuers, thinking about it and finally broke through the bottom line, and reluctantly asked.

The man didn't reply to his words, Lin Cangming turned to look at him, and repeated the words.

"Dead man, in the swamp." The man said intermittently, Lin Cangming was about to ask again, but he suddenly paused, his jaw twitched nervously, his teeth made strange cracking noises, and humming characters spit out from his mouth continuously.

"Dead people...dead...in the barren marshes, at the foot of the mountain...in..." The man was like a puppet with broken parts, his misty eyes rolled up and down.

Ji Ya saw that his whole body was hairy and felt awkward, so he couldn't help shivering, tugged Lin Cangming's arm and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and get him back, I've got goose bumps all over my body."

Lin Cangming raised his hand and was about to undo the spell, when the man's eyes suddenly focused on Lin Cangming.

"There are restrictions on him." Lin Cangming pulled Ji Ya back a step, and the cloak spread a circle of black feathers to protect the two of them in the center.

Ji Ya lowered his head, Lin Cangming pulled him into his arms in desperation, and the pleasant smell of medicine penetrated into his nostrils again, he was a little absent-minded, subconsciously wrapped his arms around Lin Cangming's waist.

The man's body exploded with a bang, and the blood and flesh were blocked by Crow Feather. Cui Yao propped up a spiritual barrier to protect himself. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the direction of the grass shaking seemed strange.

He tentatively stretched out his hand to touch the ground, and there was a slight vibration, and the direction was Lin Cangming.

"Be careful!" Cui Yao thrust his sword into the ground and shouted a reminder.

The ground under Lin Cangming's feet caught off guard and stretched out two long whips with barbs, the tips pierced through the defensive barrier of the crows. When Lin Cangming realized it, he shifted away with Ji Ya, but his back felt cold, not serious The wound was wiped.

Ji Ya quickly let go of his hand, a drop of blood fell on the back of his hand, and a circular corrosive burn was sunk in the blink of an eye.

"It's Yanshu." Cui Yao cut a ditch on the ground with a slash of his sword, only then did he realize that there were three long whips extending from the fallen pursuer.

Lin Cangming raised the Late Rain blunderbuss to break the two long whips, and threw the dark fire onto the whips, but they couldn't burn a single bit of them, the broken parts still burrowed into the ground nimbly and disappeared quickly.

"It's not afraid of burning." Ji Ya said in surprise.

"Special casting materials should have been added during the refining process. I'm afraid it was aimed at me. Our investigation into the details of the puppet master here has been exposed." Lin Cangming said solemnly, glanced at the back of Ji Ya's hand showing the scorched wound, and pursed his lips. , said apologetically, "...Sorry, you were not injured by the sneak attack, but I got you in trouble again."

"Small problems are not in the way." Ji Ya held Lin Cangming's shoulders indifferently and pushed slightly, "Let's see if your injury is serious or not. Your blood fell on my hand. It's not that my hand hurts. I feel bad!"

"...began to talk nonsense again." Lin Cangming lowered his voice with some embarrassment, "I'm fine, I'm afraid that the finger that the man pushed just now was used to manipulate Yanjia, but why did he escape with one blow?"

Cui Yao carefully inspected the three pursuers on the ground, stood up and said in confusion: "They are not human beings, they are all Yanjia puppets in disguise. Who are you? Cui came here to investigate the whereabouts of the people, but it is obvious that you are here Involved in a conspiracy, we should give Cui an explanation based on emotion and reason."

Ji Ya frowned, and said after a while: "Something's wrong, maybe we've all been tricked."

On Muling Mountain, within the enchantment whose location cannot be determined, countless pipes and gold wires are connected in a spacious hall, making the space appear tight and narrow. Inside is a blood-like bright red liquid, which is intermittently bubbling, the ground pattern is constantly rotating, runes rise and disappear, and every corner is illuminated by soft golden light.

Numerous clouds, large and small, filled the upper part of the hall with smoke, and one of them was suddenly dyed with a dangerous bright color. The lines of the array were drawn out, and finally formed the shape of a fairy grass.

The puppet master appeared out of nowhere from the ground, looked up at Yun Tu and smiled happily: "I found you, Lin Cangming."
