Not long after Hua Cheng died, the poisoned Bai Xiong also spat out a large mouthful of black blood. “Liu Mufeng, you bastard, bastard!” Roaring, Bai Xiong directly lunged towards Liu Mufeng.
Well prepared, Liu Mufeng waved his hand, and two dozen or so five-level shields flew towards Bai Xiong and directly blocked his attacks.
“Bump……”
Amidst a loud noise, Bai Xiong’s body was blown to pieces all over the place, the two dozen shields shattered as they blocked most of the attacks.
Waving his hand again, Liu Mufeng took back the two puppet white rabbits. He took out a medicinal pill that nourished the soul power and took one.
The spirit insects collected the spoils of the battle and cleaned up the battlefield, burning all the corpses, then Liu Mufeng left with his lover.
Seeing the two leaving the scene, the faces of those who were watching the fun were still pale and very scared.
“Not bad for a cultivator from the Zunhuang Continent, really powerful.”
“That’s right, that Jiang Xu is not easy to provoke, his swordsmanship is superb.”
“Liu Mufeng is even harder to mess with. He has puppets, insects, and poison darts. He has so many tricks.”
“That’s right, these two cultivators have a lot of tricks.”
“Oh, wait until the inner city is open. With such two people around, I guess we can only follow them and have a mouthful of soup.”
“Be content, it’s better to have soup than to die.”
“No way.”

Arriving at a hidden place, Liu Mufeng released a mobile cave, and helped his lover into the cave. This cave was a gift from those Sect Elders to his lover whenXiaoXu advanced to the Spiritual Emperor Realm, and was quite convenient to use, much better than a tent.
“XiaoXu, how do you feel?” Liu Mufeng asked softly while helping his lover to sit on the bed.
“No, I am okay.” Shaking his head, Jiang Xu said nonchalantly.
“Come on, let me see the wound on your back.” As he spoke, Liu Mufeng waved his hand to set a barrier, and untied his lover’s clothes.
“It’s okay, Mufeng. I have the fifth-level soft armor made by Xiaoyuan on me, which blocked most of the attacks. It just scraped the skin a bit.” Shaking his head, Jiang Xu said he was fine.
“You, you are so disobedient. You’ve been wearing that soft armor for more than ten years, I asked you to wear a new one and you refused.” Liu Mufeng’s eyes turned red when he saw the bloody gash on his lover’s back, he immediately took out the wound medicine to bandage his lover.
“En, it’s my fault. Don’t worry, it will be fine in two days.” Jiang Xu said helplessly to his lover.
“If I had known earlier, I would not have chased that brat. If I had been by your side, you wouldn’t have been hurt.” Xiaoyue spoke up, and blamed itself a little.
Looking at the little fox lying beside him with its head drooping, Jiang Xu smiled and rubbed Xiaoyue’s head. “It’s okay, don’t blame yourself, it’s just a minor injury.” Despite Xiaoyue’s unforgiving mouth, Jiang Xu knew that this little fox actually cared about him very much.
“It’s my fault. I was careless. I thought I wouldn’t encounter them until at least the inner city opened. Had I known, I shouldn’t have separated from you.” Liu Mufeng looked at his wife’s pale face, Liu Mufeng also felt guilty.
“What are you two doing? I’m not dead, why are you guys acting like this?” Seeing everyone blaming themselves so much, Jiang Xu felt helpless, and raised his hand to rub his lover’s cheek. “I’m fine, really fine.”
“En, you need to take care of yourself for the next few days. When your body recovers, contract Bai Xiong’s Beast Fire. His Beast Fire is different from ordinary Beast Fire, it was refined with a drop of real dragon blood and can devour other Beast Fires. It will be good for you to contract this Flame Dragon, your strength will be improved by a bit.” Speaking of this, Liu Mufeng was very happy, this situation could be considered a blessing in disguise.
“Mufeng, it doesn’t matter if I have the Beast Fire or not, I’m a sword cultivator. Why don’t you contract this Flame Dragon?” After thinking about it, Jiang Xu felt that it didn’t matter if he had the Beast Fire or not. If Mufeng contracted the Flame Dragon, his strength would increase, he might even advance to nine stars in the Spiritual Emperor Realm.
“No, I will leave this Flame Dragon to you, after all, I have the Flame Eagle.” The moreXiaoXu’s strength was raised now, the better for them. Now with the loss of his Flame Bear,XiaoXu’s strength had obviously became weaker by a large margin, in that case, it would be more difficult for him to advance to the Spiritual Profound Realm, so the Flame Dragon must be given toXiaoXu.
“Mufeng…”
“Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. You lie down and rest. I’ll cook you something to eat.” As he spoke, Liu Mufeng bent down, helped Jiang Xu take off his shoes and socks, and helped him to lie down.
“I’m not that fragile anymore.” Jiang Xu said helplessly, looking at his lover who was carefully covering him with a quilt.
“Have a good rest.” Lowering his head, Liu Mufeng kissed his beloved on the forehead, and then left the cave with Xiaoyue.
Half a month later,
After Jiang Xu’s injury healed, Liu Mufeng asked his lover to contract the Flame Dragon. After Jiang Xu contracted the Flame Dragon, his strength suddenly increased a lot, making it much higher than that of ordinary nine-star cultivators in the Spiritual Emperor Realm.
After such a delay, the spiritual flowers and plants on the sea of flowers were all picked by other cultivators, and there was nothing of value left. Therefore, Liu Mufeng took Jiang Xu to the north of the island.
On the north side of the island was the back of the castle where many warehouses stood in rows. These warehouses were filled with materials for making puppets and mechanisms. Guarding over this area were four sixth-level black panther puppets. These four puppets were very ferocious, as long as people stepped into their territory, they would be killed by the black panthers.
Many craftsmen who were interested in those materials unfortunately died under the attack of the black panthers.
Coming here, Liu Mufeng didn’t rush into the territory of the four black panthers, but released his soul power to check the situation around them. When he saw corpses of many cultivators scattered in the area, Liu Mufeng knew that these four black panthers were very powerful and not easy to deal with. Unleashing his soul power, Liu Mufeng tried to erase the soul imprint on a black panther soul bead, but unfortunately, he failed.
“Let’s go. These four black panthers are beast pets made by cultivators of the seventh level. I can’t erase their soul imprints. They are all puppets of the sixth level, we are not their opponents.” Looking at his lover, Liu Mufeng resolutely gave up. For him as an alchemist, some materials and parts for making puppets were not that important, there was no need to sacrifice his life for some unimportant things.
“Okay.” Hearing what his lover said, Jiang Xu didn’t get too entangled either, and left with his lover.
The south of the island was the front face of the palace. There was a stone road paved here, wide enough to accommodate four horses. On both sides of the road, there were eighteen ten-meter-high statues. Every statue was a cultivator of the Tianyan Clan.
Many cultivators who wanted to enter the castle waited on both sides of these stone statues, and some guarded in front of the ten scarlet gates.
“Mufeng, look at these statues. The figures on these statues all have three eyes.” Jiang Xu said curiously, looking up at the lifelike statues.
“En, these eighteen are the successive generations of Patriarchs of the Tianyan Clan. Each of them had made great contributions to the Tianyan Clan. Each one of the predecessors is an amazingly talented generation, this is the first Clan Chief, his name is – Sirte. He was a very remarkable ninth-level puppet master. He was the first puppet master of the Tianyan Clan, and also the first Senior who led the clansmen to make puppets.” As he spoke, Liu Mufeng walked to a stone statue and introduced to Jiang Xu.
“Oh, this Senior is very powerful.” He was actually a ninth-level puppeteer, very powerful.
“There is also this one, this is the third Patriarch of the Tianyan Clan, a female Senior. Her name was – Bardada. She was a very remarkable mechanism Master, who once arranged many trapping mechanisms in the middle of the clan land to protect her clan members from surviving the demon beast tide without any problems. She was a great benefactor of the entire Tianyan Clan.”
“Oh, she was also very powerful.” Nodding, Jiang Xu replied.
“This one is also a very impressive great power, this is the 18th Clan Chief of the Tianyan Clan. He was a ninth-level Array Master. His name was Kosrko. The Seven Stars of the Big Dipper Drift Formation on this island was laid out by him. This formation absorbs the power of the stars to operate and can move in the direction of the positive Big Dipper and the negative Big Dipper on the sea.” Looking at his lover, Liu Mufeng carefully introduced the 18th Chief to him.
“Mufeng, you are so powerful, how do you know everything?” Looking at his man, Jiang Xu asked curiously.
“It’s not that I know, but their lives are written on the stone platform at the foot of the stone statue.” Liu Mufeng pointed to the characters written on the stone platform at the foot of the Tianyan Clan’s stone statue.
Jiang Xu was stunned. “So, is that writing? I thought it was just patterns?”
“How could it be? That’s the language of the Tianyan Clan.” Looking at his wife, Liu Mufeng was amused. How could these texts be regarded as patterns?
“Fellow Daoist Liu is really knowledgeable, you actually even know the characters of the language of the Tianyan Clan.” With a smile, the Helian Brothers immediately came over to say hello.
“Fellow Daoist Helian is overpraising, I just read a few idle books.” Liu Mufeng replied modestly. In fact, he had planned it in advance, because he knew that there was a secret realm called Tianji Island, so Liu Mufeng deliberately studied the text of the Tianyan Clan.
“Fellow Daoist Liu is too modest.” Smiling, Helian Tianqi didn’t think knowing the characters of the Tianyan Clan was a simple matter.
