"Secondly, the Saint Corpse Puppet is the treasure of Black Armored Azure Dragon City. Although it's been repaired, it's better to observe it more carefully. I believe in Vice Pavilion Master Ye's ability. However, if the Star Card's words are true and there are hidden dangers in this puppet, will the City Lord be able to accept it if it completely collapses in the future?"
Chu Man nodded and said, "City Lord Su, since this puppet means so much to you, it's better to believe it's true than not. Otherwise, it'll be too late for regrets."
Su Yu stared at the Saint Corpse Puppet. Astral energy rose from his fingertips and flowed into the Saint Corpse Puppet's body.
Therefore, everyone watched curiously.
Ye Lingxu's expression was calm, but he was nervous. However, since the Prince Of Qi said that Su Yu couldn't see the flaws in Xing An with his ability, he shouldn't fail, right?
Time passed slowly.
Soon, an hour passed.
Su Yu suddenly stood up and opened his eyes, and a wisp of self-ridicule flashed past the corners of his mouth as he said, "I'm ashamed to say this, but with my ability, I'm unable to determine if this Sacred Corpse Puppet has the flaw that the Star Card mentioned earlier."
Su Teng felt relieved and smiled faintly. "My father is the strongest Star Puppet Master in Black Armored Azure Dragon City. If even he can't find the flaws, then this Saint Corpse Puppet shouldn't have any side effects."
Ye Lingxu was secretly relieved. At the same time, he looked at Luo Feng gloatingly. Deep in his eyes, there was deep disdain.
Luo Feng's lips twitched. No way?
"This is bad." Han Xiang and Xia Qiuming's hearts sank.
"Haha, Su Yu, Su Yu, you can't find it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist."
At this moment, an aged voice quietly sounded from outside the residence.
The voice suddenly appeared, which immediately attracted the attention of the crowd. Following this, a white-haired old man wearing a linen robe entered the Main Mansion following a series of footsteps.
Su Yu's brows also furrowed slightly. However, when he saw who it was, he was also startled. Immediately after, his usually calm and determined face abruptly surged with wild joy.
"Master Lei?
Why are you here?! "
"Master Lei?"
When Su Teng heard this, he was also startled. He probed, "Is it the number one Star Puppet Master of the Yan Dynasty, the mysterious Master Lei Qianyun?!"
"At least you have some eyes." Lei Qianyun coldly snorted.
"Lei Qianyun?"
Ye Lingxu's heart skipped a beat, and his expression turned ugly. Why would this legendary figure suddenly appear in the Black Armored Azure Dragon City?
What a coincidence!
This old man's skill in making puppets was unparalleled in the world. Throughout the entire Yan Dynasty, no one could surpass him. Moreover, he liked to wander around the world. The Prince Of Qi had tried to rope him in many times, but failed. How could he appear here now?
"We're in trouble." Su Yu's expression didn't look good, but this person might be able to see it!
Luo Feng's eyelids twitched. What a coincidence!
Could this rotten old man be a backup plan that Emperor Yan had arranged for him?
Lei Qianyun coldly snorted. "I was passing by the Black Dragon Ridge, so I came to see you. Eh, why is it so lively here today?"
"It's like this."
Su Yu sneered. He pointed at the Saint Corpse Star Puppet and explained, "Due to some special reasons, the Saint Corpse Star Puppet of the Black Armored Azure Dragon City was damaged. I tried my best but couldn't repair it.
"This is Deputy Pavilion Master Ye Lingxu of the Wind Pavilion. He repaired it."
"Oh?" Lei Qianyun looked at the Saint Corpse Puppet. His turbid eyes emitted a strange light that seemed to be able to capture one's soul.
Under everyone's gaze, he stretched out his withered hand and pointed it at the Saint Corpse Puppet. He closed his eyes and began to probe.
Ye Lingxu's expression gradually became uneasy.
After a moment, Lei Qianyun opened his eyes. He suddenly grabbed the puppet's right arm and broke it.
Crack!
Along with the sound of bones breaking, the right arm of the Sacred Corpse Puppet had become a severed arm!
Whoosh!
As the arm was broken, the Saint Corpse Puppet suddenly became like a deflated balloon. Its aura continued to decline, and the surrounding light also rapidly dimmed.
It was as if it was paralyzed.
Whoosh!
Immediately, cries of surprise sounded one after another.
"What's going on? It was lively just a moment ago. Why did it become so weak after losing an arm?"
"Yeah, for a puppet, as long as its core isn't broken, it shouldn't be so completely paralyzed after losing an arm, right?"
"I frowned slightly. I found that things weren't so simple."
"…"
"What's going on?"
Ye Lingxu's expression was a little unnatural. He looked at the Saint Corpse Puppet in shock and said, "Did I not succeed in repairing it?"
"Is that so?" Lei Qianyun sneered. He took out the broken arm and slapped it.
Crack.
The broken arm shattered. Then, a small black insect slowly wriggled and appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"This is …" Su Yu stared at it. Soon, he seemed to have discovered something. His pupils shrank, and he exclaimed in shock, "Star Devouring Insect?!"
"Star Devouring Insect?"
Hearing this, Su Teng was also startled. He murmured, "The Star Devouring Insect that can devour the remnant astral energy in all objects?"
Lei Qianyun said coldly, "This puppet wasn't repaired at all. It was just on the surface."
"The Star Devouring Insect devoured the astral energy in the Saint Corpse Puppet's body, forcefully draining its energy to allow it to operate for a short period of time. It looks like it has recovered, but in fact, it's just draining the pond to catch fish!"
"Who is the one who executed this extermination plan?!"
Boom!
His words were like a sudden clap of thunder, exploding in everyone's ears. At this moment, everyone's eyes converged on Ye Lingxu.
Ye Lingxu's face turned sour. His body couldn't help but tremble. His legs turned to jelly, and he almost fell to his knees.
How could this be …
Su Yu's face turned pale. He suddenly turned and looked at Ye Lingxu coldly. "Deputy Pavilion Master Ye, please give me an explanation."
"This, this, this is a misunderstanding," Ye Lingxu said with difficulty.
Ye Lingxu braced himself as he said this. His face instantly paled. He never would have thought that Lei Qianyun, who had appeared out of nowhere, would see through him right on the spot. He had tried so hard to fool even Su Yu and his son, but in the end, he was seen through by Lei Qianyun!
"Misunderstanding?"
Luo Feng also understood at this moment. He immediately sneered. "The evidence and witnesses are all here. You're telling me it's a misunderstanding?"
"The fancy Thousand Needles Phantom Technique just now must have been used to implant the Star-Devouring Bug into the arm without anyone noticing, right?"
"Deputy Pavilion Master Ye, you've made a good plan."
"Now you're trying to get away with it so that the City Lord can help you and even help you compete for the opportunity in Black Dragon Ridge."
"In half a month, the Saint Corpse Puppet will be exposed. By then, you will have returned to the Wind Pavilion. Even if the City Lord finds out, he won't be able to do anything to you."
