To deal with the Heavenly Fire Sacred Sword, Li Chengfeng's best and simplest method was to steal it!
Swindling it was not practical. Huangfu Song was not stupid. He had been tricked by Li Chengfeng once, he would not fall for it again unless Su Yuehan used an illusion spell.
But if he used an illusion spell, wouldn't he be walking right into a trap?
Therefore, Li Chengfeng found that his newly acquired skills could be put to good use.
Because of the expanded range of his immortal power, it was possible for him to control the puppets from a distance.
Within the range of Li Chengfeng's immortal power, the flowers, trees, and even the puppets became extensions of his body's consciousness!
These ants gathered under the Skyfire Sacred Sword's wooden platform. They raised their heads and looked up at the distant wooden box platform that seemed like a natural chasm.
Li Chengfeng once again controlled them to crawl towards the sword box. But this time, the moment they touched the box, the ants immediately turned into small fireballs and burned to ashes.
The densely packed ants immediately retreated like a receding tide, retreating from the wooden platform's legs and hiding in the table's abdomen, as well as an invisible corner.
Very quickly, Huangfu Song rushed in again. He stared in shock at the small pile of ashes on the sword box, as well as the faint burnt smell that lingered in the air.
Huangfu Song walked to the wooden box and carefully looked at it. He wiped the dust off the wooden box with his hand, rubbed it with his fingertips, and sniffed it. He turned around and shouted angrily, "How do you usually clean this place?
There are ants in my study! "
A maidservant hurried in from the study. She knelt on the ground in a panic and said, "Young Master, please calm down. I'll clean it again!"
Huangfu Song huffed angrily and turned to leave.
To him, the Skyfire Sacred Sword could be said to be his other life. In order to protect the Skyfire Sacred Sword, he was willing to do anything.
The crystal box looked ordinary but in fact, it was a miniature mechanism array created by a master blacksmith based on the intricate mechanisms of the Puppet Kingdom and Daqi's arrays.
Other than Huangfu Song, who could touch it as usual, anyone or anything else that touched it would trigger an extremely ferocious attack. The strength of the attack was on par with the Skyfire Sacred Sword, and it would immediately warn the sword wielder.
Huangfu Song basically had the Skyfire Sacred Sword by his side. There were only two things that would cause the sword to leave his side.
First, sexual intercourse and dual cultivation. There was naturally no need to elaborate on this point.
There was probably no one in the world who would carry a sword on their back or hold a sword in their hands when they were having sex.
Since they chose to face this person with sincerity, it meant that they trusted each other in this situation, so it was not good to carry swords with them.
Second, bathing.
The reason was very simple. It was because the Heavenly Fire Sacred Sword was an extremely intricate magical treasure. There were carvings on both sides of the blade and even on the hilt.
It was covered with densely packed array patterns.
And there was one thing in this world that had something in common. The more intricate something was, the more powerful it would be. But similarly, the more intricate something was, the weaker it would be, and the more effort it needed to be maintained.
The Heavenly Fire Sacred Sword was such an intricate and intricate magical treasure. It required Huangfu Song to do a lot of maintenance every day, and the most important thing was to keep it dry at all times.
If a weapon was not maintained properly, it would oxidize, rust, become blunt, be eaten by insects, or even become brittle.
If one did not pay attention to the maintenance of a magic treasure, especially one that was engraved with a magic array pattern, then once the pattern on the magic array was eroded, decayed, or even damaged, the magic array would immediately be destroyed, and even backfire on the owner.
Therefore, no cultivator in the world dared to belittle the maintenance of a magical treasure.
As for the Skyfire Sacred Sword, due to its material and attribute, it was most afraid of water, especially in a humid environment. If it came into contact with water and got wet, it had to immediately wipe the water off with a fine piece of cloth and place it beside a heater at a suitable temperature to bake.
Li Chengfeng controlled the ants to hide in a dark corner of the table. After Huangfu Song left, the servant girl came in to clean the study. He did not dare to show his face again, afraid that he would alert the enemy.
After controlling the ants to retreat, Li Chengfeng quickly retracted his divine sense. He turned around and gave Yuehan, who was in charge of covering him, a look. The two of them quietly retreated from the cliff behind Hidden Brocade Court.
Although Li Chengfeng's range had greatly improved, it was still impossible for him to travel from Eagle Mountain to Hidden Brocade Court to control the puppets.
What he could do was approach quietly, hide himself, and then control the puppets.
Li Chengfeng would not have been able to do it alone, but with Yuehan's help, sneaking into the outer perimeter of Hidden Brocade Court was not a difficult task.
After they left Hidden Brocade Court, Yuehan asked softly, "Can't we do it?"
He shook his head. "Huangfu Song is very alert."
Yuehan smiled bitterly. "It's such an important magical treasure, he would definitely treat it with utmost importance.
Moreover … if you steal it like this, anyone would be able to guess that it was you who stole it if there were any clues.
After all, you've already revealed that you can control the puppets. "
Yuehan looked at Li Chengfeng worriedly and whispered, "Let's think of another way, don't take this risk."
Li Chengfeng did not comment. He lowered his head in deep thought, trying to think of a way to deal with this. Although his powers had improved tremendously, his starting point was still too low. So even if he improved by leaps and bounds, he was still far from his senior brothers who had already achieved success in their cultivation.
Otherwise, he would not have to worry so much about the Heavenly Fire Sacred Sword!
Now, the Heavenly Fire Sacred Sword was enough to force him to his death. He could not think of a way to win, and what other terrifying magical treasures awaited him in the future?
Li Chengfeng silently clenched his fists. He realised that his thirst for power was still unbearable!
Not strong enough, still not strong enough!
He hoped that the magical treasure that Grand Senior Sister would give him would be able to bring him to the next level!
But when would he be able to get his hands on this magical treasure?
What kind of power would it have?
What kind of level would his strength rise to?
These questions ignited a fire in Li Chengfeng's heart, burning fiercely.
Shanxue's powerful cultivation power was like a mountain pressing down on his heart. The Ninth Heaven's power was like a sharp sword hanging over his head, ready to fall at any time, bringing disaster to him and the Cleansing Moon Li family.
Li Chengfeng smiled and patted her head. "Let's go back first, there's always a way.
There were so many difficulties, but didn't we get through them? "
Yuehan nodded and the two of them left silently. When they returned to their residence, they saw Ouyang Nan pacing back and forth anxiously. When he saw Li Chengfeng, he welcomed him with joy and said, "Junior Brother Chengfeng!
Quick, go! "
Li Chengfeng was shocked. "What's wrong?"
