Ye Wushuang continued, “These four puppets must be the blood puppets that Wang Jianmu painstakingly crafted, using the physical bodies of warriors at the Tian Gang realm as the base, and then refined with numerous rare and precious materials. If I can alter the talismans within these puppets, I might be able to take control of them…”
“From my perspective, these four puppets should be capable of unleashing the power of the Tian Gang realm!”
With the strength of four puppets at the Tian Gang realm, Ye Wushuang could lead the Ye clan members to safety.
“But you…”
Seeing Ye Wushuang’s miserable appearance now, Qing Shiyu’s heart ached.
“I can hold on.”
Ye Wushuang continued, “Forming the puppet talismans doesn’t require the expenditure of vital energy; it merely consumes one’s mental focus!”
With that, Ye Wushuang took out nine silver needles and handed them to Qing Shiyu, saying, “If I’m about to faint, you must insert these nine silver needles into my Baihui, Wanhe… and the other seven acupoints!”
“Ah?”
Qing Shiyu was startled and hesitated to take them.
“Take them!”
Ye Wushuang said earnestly, “If I faint and the puppets can’t be awakened, everyone will die here. Do you understand?”
“I… I understand…”
At that moment, Ye Wushuang sat cross-legged on the ground and took a deep breath. His hands clenched together, and intricate, complex spiritual energies converged, forming dazzling and mesmerizing talismans.
Puppet talismans, device patterns, and array patterns all had their own methods. As the saying goes, “Different trades are like different mountains.” Qing Shiyu couldn’t understand what Ye Wushuang was doing at all.
Suddenly, Ye Wushuang’s body trembled.
“Needle me!”
Ye Wushuang shouted.
Qing Shiyu knew she couldn’t hesitate; otherwise, if Ye Wushuang fainted, they would indeed be in great danger.
She inserted the needle, and Ye Wushuang grunted, continuing to form the talismans.
Time ticked by, and Qing Shiyu had already inserted six needles into six acupoints on Ye Wushuang’s body.
At this point, Ye Wushuang’s face was terrifyingly pale, like that of a vampire, devoid of any blood color.
“Go!”
Suddenly, Ye Wushuang shouted.
The intricate talismans flew towards the four puppets. Immediately, a terrifying blood-red glow enveloped the golden armor of the puppets, encasing them completely.
After what seemed like an eternity, the puppets underwent transformation after transformation. It took a full incense stick’s time before they stabilized, still standing tall with their golden, iron-like bodies.
Clank…
Suddenly, one of the puppets detached from the wall and stood firmly on the ground.
Then, the second, third, and fourth puppets followed suit.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The four puppets knelt on one knee, facing Ye Wushuang in silence.
Qing Shiyu’s expression was stunned. She couldn’t fail to see that the puppets now belonged to Ye Wushuang!
This resilient young man always did things that were earth-shattering and soul-stirring.
At this moment, Ye Wushuang collapsed completely into Qing Shiyu’s arms.
He had almost exhausted all his vital essence to help Ye Yunzhe recover. If it weren’t for his fusion with the Ninth Yuan Shen in this life, which gave him an incredibly strong will, he would have fainted long ago.
Ye Wushuang said again, “Help me to the Blood Pool…”
At this moment, Ye Ming, Ye Yun, Ye Bin, and several other members of the Ye clan were gathered around Ye Yunzhe, recounting how Ye Wushuang had appeared and helped them.
Ye Yunzhe was still very fragile. Looking at the young man in white, he was astonished: “A surviving descendant of the Ye clan…”
With Qing Shiyu’s support, Ye Wushuang walked to the Blood Pool and sat cross-legged. He spread his hands, and a force of absorption was released from within, drawing in streams of vital energy. However, his loss of vital essence was too great, and these streams of energy could not compensate for it. There was no way to recover in a short time, but at least it would allow him to hold on.
Meanwhile, in the Tianzi Secret Palace, Ye Wushuang had seen everything from beginning to end. The underground town was already in chaos. As the imprisoned disciples of various clans escaped and outsiders discovered the place, reporting it to the elders of the Qingyun Academy, the secret was out.
At this moment, in the underground palace, Tang Chuyi and Shen Qian, along with Chu Mingjie, Qin Lizhe, Liu Jing, Shang Wanjun, Xiao Shangyu, Zhao Xuanyu, He Wuchen, and Sheng Pu, the eight strongest elders of the Inner Court, were confronting the group from the Tianji Mansion, including Elder Li Cun, Tian Yuyu, and others.
Li Cun, dressed in a black robe, had a sullen expression. The underground palace had existed for hundreds of years in secrecy, but it was unexpectedly exposed this time. What was worse, Elder Wang Jianmu was not in the palace at the moment!
At the moment, with Tang Chuyi and Shen Qian, the two Tian Gang realm powerhouses leading the way, they glared at the group of warriors from the Tianji Mansion, furious.
Tang Chuyi snorted, “Tianji Mansion has such a cunning and sinister scheme, building such an underground palace within our Qingyun Empire, capturing our warriors and using them as nourishment and test subjects for your experiments?”
