Chapter 176 Moon Puppet
"Should we just walk in? They don't seem to be able to see us."

Feng Susu also gradually realized the extraordinary ability of Jiang He to conceal his breath. She took off the hat that was making her uncomfortable and looked at her body in a state of wonder.

Is he invisible? They can't even hear him.

"Just go around it. How can you really go in in front of them? Unless you have a higher realm, even the most powerful Breath Containment Technique can't do this. Do you really think you are invisible? If Yuehua is here, this Breath Containment Technique can't be hidden from him."

Jiang He frowned slightly, the Saint Yuehua's ability to contain his energy was also extraordinary.

He must have followed me all the way yesterday. If he hadn't shown up on his own initiative, I wouldn't have noticed it at all.

The current strength of spiritual awareness is really not enough.

You need to collect relevant materials to improve.

For example, the wood core of the Yunxi sacred tree and the true fire of Cangping City
Unlike the Rebirth Technique, the upgrade of the Soul-Catching Bell depends entirely on related spiritual objects.

Each spiritual object can bring unique effects to spiritual consciousness.

In addition, it can increase the slots and quality of the Xuanhuang Pearl's spirit.

He can now only control two spirits below the Jindan stage.

In the original text, this is Lin Chi’s powerful trump card.

The means to escape unscathed from numerous attacks by powerful enemies.

Even in this life, before his death, Lin Chi used his Qi training stage to control the unicorn snake in the foundation building stage and defeated the elders of the Wuya Sect.

But when Jiang He thought about it now, he couldn't help feeling strange.

The scene where countless spirits surrounded Lin Chi at that time now seemed to be just a bluff to scare the elders of Wuya Sect.

He could only control two spirits at that time.
The only ones that have real fighting power are the unicorn snake and one of its spirits.

In any case, Lin Chi started to take advantage of the extraordinary properties of the Xuanhuang Pearl very early on.

And myself.
There is only a waste in the Qi Refining Stage and a young lady in the early Foundation Establishment Stage in the Xuanhuang Pearl.

The slots are limited. If only we could capture the spirit of the Moonlight Saint.
Jiang He calmed himself down and realized that it was too unrealistic to capture the spirit of the Holy Son of Yuehua.

It is not so easy to completely kill a genius of this level.

“I’m always worried that they’ll see me.”

There was no formation set up in the ancestral hall of the Long Mansion. Perhaps Saint Yuehua did not attach too much importance to it, or perhaps he felt it was unnecessary.

This saved Jiang He the effort of breaking the formation.

Song Sheng has already explored the route inside, so it is not difficult to avoid the twins.

Jiang He took Feng Susu around and heard Feng Susu's muttering. He knew that the girl was worried, so he comforted her:
"I promise, the twins will never be able to find us."

He did not try to cover up the sound. Compared with breath, sound was easy to cover up.

After all, the propagation of sound requires a medium. When you speak, you only need to use spiritual power to create a vacuum environment around you. No matter how profound your cultivation is, you can only sense the fluctuation of spiritual power, but you will not be able to hear the sound.

This is a very common spell to silence the sound in the world of cultivation.

Even Feng Susu, who was forbidden by Feng Yan to learn offensive magic, had learned this kind of magic.

Jiang He was slightly stunned. Before he had finished speaking, a fluctuation of spiritual power came from not far away.

The old man guarding the gate of Long Mansion was patrolling in the air with a sullen face.

Alarm bells rang in Jiang He's heart. He has always trusted the dragon clan's Qi-gathering technique from Bai Minxin.

The dragon clan was once hunted by the immortals during the Age of Immortals, and the dragon clan's Qi-gathering technique was born at this special time.

This allowed some of the dragon tribes to survive the hunt.

Among all the Qi-gathering techniques in the world of cultivation, the Dragon Clan's Qi-gathering technique can be ranked in the top three.

The secret techniques that were on par with it have either been lost long ago or have disappeared.

How could this old man, who was only in the early stage of foundation building, possibly discover him?
Moreover, according to the information obtained from Feng Yi, Saint Son Yuehua is currently in Yunxi Sect, so it is impossible for him to ambush here.

Besides, it's even more impossible for him to think that he is here
Jiang He was determined in his heart, holding Feng Susu's hand and walking without stopping for a moment.

This sudden change frightened Feng Susu so much that her face turned pale and she didn't even dare to say a word.

Like a slave, she was dragged away by him in a daze.

Only after sneaking into the ancestral hall did Feng Susu dare to whisper: "Jiang He, why don't you run away? We have been discovered!"

"It's not us, it's someone else."

Jiang He said with certainty that he had indeed sensed the presence of other people just now.

The man was quite good at concealing his breath, but unfortunately his psychological quality was poor. When the old man who was building the foundation was searching him, he accidentally revealed a little bit of his breath.

Feng Susu was dumbfounded. If not them, who else would come to the Long Mansion?

Could it be Min Xin?
When she saw herself and Jiang He coming over, she wanted to see what was going on?
However, after seeing Jiang He's calm and composed demeanor, all the confusion and anxiety in his heart seemed to have found support and disappeared without a trace.

She sighed softly: "It's up to you! If it doesn't work out, we can just die together. But I'm worried about Minxin."

Jiang He's heart skipped a beat when he heard her words, but he immediately felt relieved.

He rubbed his chin and said slowly:

"It can't be Min Xin. She is better at concealing her breath than I am, and her psychological quality is also very strong. But in today's Shangqing County, the only one who can conceal his breath like this is probably from the Qingyang Immortal Sect."

The disciples of Qingyang Immortal Sect have always been good at suppressing their energy, especially the disciples of Demon Slaying Hall.

Not long ago, he also captured a disciple of the Demon-Slaying Hall who was hiding his aura and detained him in a branch of the Good Law Hall.

But the person who is now in Long Mansion is stronger than that disciple.

Jiang He understood in his heart that it was most likely one of Qiao Qiao's good fellow apprentices who was helping her to investigate the details of the Long Mansion.

Or arrange it in advance.

After all, he will be doing business with Qiao Qiao in Long Mansion tomorrow, and Qiao Qiao is not a fool, so it is impossible for her not to investigate in advance.

It was he who proposed the transaction in Long Mansion.

But it's almost impossible to find out anything.

He still trusted Yuehua's caution.

Even Song Sheng, who had been stationed near the Long Mansion day and night, only knew that there were disciples from the Yuehua Palace inside.

Jiang He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked around the interior of the ancestral hall.

The entire ancestral hall is spacious and bright, with burning incense and a sweet smell permeating the air.

The sunlight shines through the carefully designed window frames and onto the bluestone floor, creating mottled shadows.

In the center of the hall, there is a huge altar, covered with bright red silk that reaches the ground.

There are tablets of ancestors from past generations enshrined on it, and in front of the tablets are two bloody old heads.

These two heads were not chopped off, there were still some necks hanging on them, dripping with blood.

The face was blurred and covered with teeth marks.

Although his death was tragic, there was a satisfied smile on his face, and he looked kind and gentle, as if he was smiling at the successful younger generation.

"Master, save me!"

Jiang He looked at the altar suddenly.

There seemed to be a strong wind blowing under the table, and the red silk was billowing.

A bloodstained hand stretched out, and then a weak and haggard white-haired girl struggled to crawl out from under the table.

Her narrow eyes were cloudy and her once slender waist was now bulging, as if there was a living thing wriggling in her belly.

The lips were stained with blood and minced meat, but the delicate lips were much brighter than the blood around them.

Even though he knew this scene would never happen, Jiang He was still in a trance for a moment and almost reached out to hug her.

"Daddy, Daddy?"

Feng Susu, who had been unexpectedly calm just now, now covered her mouth.

With tearful eyes, she looked at the man who crawled out from under the table.

"He's not your father"

Jiang He calmed down and felt a little scared.

This is not Bai Minxin, and it is even less likely that this is Feng Susu’s “father” who died long ago.

This person is Long Tao, who was still full of life not long ago!

The mind becomes clear, the illusion in the eyes shatters like glass, and the true face is revealed.

If it weren’t for Jiang He’s excellent memory, he would have remembered all of Long Tao’s facial features.

He found it difficult to connect the bloated man in front of him with the handsome and thin Long Tao.

Long Tao raised his bloody face and looked at him stupidly.

There was darkness in his eyes and he had lost his mind.

When I saw him, I suddenly laughed foolishly: "Hehehe"

Jiang He was in a trance again. Even though he knew that the man was Long Tao, he was still shaken for a moment.

He was secretly surprised that Long Tao was just a mortal, but now he had the ability to influence his mind.

The strength of his soul is better than that of an ordinary cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.

The Holy Son of Yuehua was just a small boss in the original text, and his methods were briefly mentioned.

Through the secret techniques of Yuehua Palace, the potential of human blood can be discovered and appropriate secret techniques can be placed on the human body.

It is similar to the technique used by Snake Lord to purify the demon bloodline, but more radical than Snake Lord's.

Every living person in the world, even mortals, may be a descendant of a powerful being from a very distant era.

Of course, this era is too far away.
The bloodline left by ancestors may be negligible in this generation.

But the Moonlight Palace brings together a huge number of mortals of the same origin, and through the means of cannibalism, mixes their flesh and blood together in the most direct way, thereby stimulating the meager potential of the ancient powerful bloodline.

However, in this form, the survivors have basically lost their minds and are called Moon Puppets.

It is unlikely to be of much use.

So they planted the appropriate secret method on the Moon Puppet and stimulated that potential.

This is also the reason why Hezhou became a hell on earth in the future.
Jiang He looked at the two heads on the altar. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the runes on the two heads extended from the faces to the pupils.

Judging from its shape, Yuehua had been to Long Mansion a few years ago, so this Moon Puppet must have been refined since then.

However, after all the members of the Long tribe in Shangqing County were used up, they still failed to refine the elixir until Long Tao came from Pingzhou to seek refuge in the Long Mansion. By chance, this extra person allowed Yuehua to refine the elixir successfully.

This kind of Moon Puppet is just an experimental product that Yuehua casually refined.

The four halls of the Shengan Sect are different from each other, but they have some similarities.
Jiang He had some vague understanding, but without in-depth contact with the other two halls of the Divine Inspiration Sect, it would be difficult for him to explain anything.

After all, many things in the original text are just glossed over, and not much information can be gleaned.

“Whether it’s the secret methods or the so-called Holy Sons of these four halls, they all seem to be just for divine sacrifice.”

Jiang He was thoughtful when he saw Feng Susu involuntarily approaching Long Tao.

In desperation, the pupil bells rang gently.

The Soul-Shocking Bell swung slightly, Feng Susu's face turned pale, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of her throat.

Now I am completely awake.

"I obviously knew he wasn't my biological father. Why?"

Feng Susu covered her chest in confusion.

This "he" does not refer to Long Tao, but Feng Susu's fake father.

Ever since he found out that the Wise King was not his biological father, the invisible filter that shrouded him disappeared.

After all, the virtuous king had only been her father for less than half a year. For Feng Susu, who was only four or five years old at the time, it was hard for her to have deep memories of him.

It's just that when you are bullied in the future, you find psychological support and keep beautifying it.

Jiang He understood. He sighed and held the blonde girl's hand:

"This secret method is only to shake the mind, and the wise king, it has a great influence on you. But I thought Su Su would see me."

"You are stinky!"

As if someone had stepped on her tail, the dull blond girl's face became brighter. She wrinkled her nose at Jiang He.

"How long have we known each other?"

The last sentence sounded like a rebuttal, but also like an explanation.

She secretly glanced at Jiang He, but "Daddy" was fake, but Jiang He was real.
Jiang He squatted on the ground, observing Long Tao's soul and physique.

Long Tao is not aggressive at all, it just has the effect of confusing the mind.

I think this is also the flaw of the Moonlight Palace's secret method.
It can only use the secret arts it carries, and the secret arts carried by the Moon Puppet are usually ancient secret arts.

The ancient mystic arts were not something high-end; on the contrary, compared to the current mystic arts, the ancient mystic arts had to make trade-offs in many aspects in order to maximize their power, resulting in various defects.

It is difficult to practice because the side effects are too great. There are various requirements for physical fitness, etc.

But there is no doubt that its power is far stronger than the current secret techniques.

However, with the development of the times, firstly, the practice system has changed, and secondly, its inherent defects. Most of the ancient secrets have been eliminated.

Now, it perfectly matches the Moon Puppet of Yuehua Palace.

So how do we deal with this Moon Puppet?

Even though Long Tao doesn’t pose much of a threat now, battles are changing rapidly and a moment of distraction could determine the outcome of the battle.

If Yuehua used Longtao when fighting with others, I wonder how much of a threat it would cause.
And Long Tao is just one of Yuehua’s lowest-level moon puppets.

Jiang He thought about it and felt that his spiritual attack was ineffective against her, and it was impossible for him to fight Yuehua relying solely on the Tuo Ren Jue.

For a moment, there was no way to deal with the Moon Puppet.

Jiang He kicked Long Tao back under the altar. Long Tao did not react at all and rolled under without making any sound.

Although Long Tao could be killed at this time, Yue Kui could only cultivate a single secret method. Even if he was killed, Yue Hua would have no way to detect that it was she who killed him.

But when he returns to Long Mansion later, he will know that Yue Kui is dead.
A flash of inspiration suddenly came to Jiang He’s mind. The Moon Puppet can only carry one secret technique. Is it possible to do something with it?

He thought and looked around.

The ancestral hall was in plain sight, but the little boy and his sister were nowhere to be found.

"Jiang He, there's a fight outside!"

Feng Susu suddenly pulled his hand and reminded him.

Jiang He glanced out the window and saw two arcs of light intersecting. Both sides were foundation-building cultivators.

The sword energy from the Qingyang Immortal Sect is majestic and powerful. He is probably at the genius level even in the Qingyang Immortal Sect.

He almost overwhelmed the old man from Yuehua Palace.

but
Since it is so strong,
How did the old man from Yuehua Palace discover him?
