The Butterfly Fairy's reason clearly did not satisfy Lu Ping and the other two. Wise Ape was even angrier. "What a joke! We risked our lives for this opportunity, yet you've disturbed it. Now that we've let the tiger return to the mountain, who knows, the puppet will come to kill us next!"
Not only Xiao Baiyu and Wise Ape, but Lu Ping and Mi Xuance's expressions were also very unpleasant. They even suspected that the Butterfly Fairy must have some unknown scheme.
"That three-inch spiritual light has been destroyed by Lu Daoyou. The puppet transformed from my ancestor's true body must have lost a great deal of its vitality and strength. It's impossible for it to recover in a short period of time. Since it's my fault that my ancestor's true body escaped, I'll personally destroy it. What do you think?"
The Butterfly Fairy knew that she was in the wrong and also knew that the people present did not believe her lame reason. Hence, she said in a low voice, "I'm not happy with everyone. Although my ancestor's true spirit may have fallen, how could the Seventh Patriarch of the Heaven Splitting Sect not have left behind a backup plan just in case? Perhaps the layout left by my ancestor is in his true body. According to the records passed down from the Cicada bloodline, these things can only be inherited by direct descendants. This is also the main reason why I stopped Fellow Xiao from damaging my ancestor's true body."
Lu Ping's heart skipped a beat. He remembered that when he fought with Jiao Daoren's puppet true body, the supernatural power he cast could be strangely absorbed by Lu Ping and catalyzed the condensation of Lu Ping's new original supernatural power. However, when he fought with Luan Daoist and Taoist Chan's puppet true body, such a strange change never happened again.
Lu Ping's expression did not change, but he said coldly, "You're lucky, Fellow Butterfly. Does that mean we've been too rash?"
The Butterfly Fairy was no longer as indifferent to Lu Ping as she was to Xiao Baiyu. Her expression became much more solemn as she explained, "I wouldn't dare. Danger lurks everywhere in the formation. The person behind the scenes has yet to reveal himself. Now, just seven of Laozu's true body puppets have caused us to suffer heavy casualties. Who knows how many more sinister methods will be used in the future, so we must not let go of any chance to increase our strength. Our strength is their weakness. Please forgive us, Lu Daoyou."
Xiao Baiyu said coldly, "What a nice way to say 'our strength is their weakness'. But we've paid such a price, yet all the benefits belong to you. What benefit does that bring to us?"
The veil covering the Butterfly Fairy's face moved slightly, but no one could see her expression clearly. However, Xiao Baiyu's words had clearly displeased her as well. Her tone turned colder as she said, "We're in the same boat right now, so please consider the bigger picture, Fellow Daoist Xiao!"
Xiao Baiyu's expression grew even more furious. The Sky-Splitting Sword circling around him seemed to have sensed its master's mood and could not help but let out a series of trembling noises. Beside him, Lu Ping reached out to block the sword and said, "Please calm down, Fellow Daoist Xiao!"
Turning his head to look in the direction where the Butterfly Fairy had come from, Lu Ping looked back at her with a faint smile and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, what you said is not without reason. But if you want to obtain the legacy of Daoist Chan's true body, then that's fine. But if we let you go just like that, then do we have to help you block the puppets that are chasing after you?"
Xiao Baiyu was so angry that he laughed and said, "Haha! Fellow Daoist Butterfly, you've really made a good plan. I thought you'd come as reinforcements after defeating a certain Laozu's puppet. I didn't expect you to be chased all the way here. Not only did you righteously rob us of our benefits, but you're also shamelessly asking us to help you block the disaster? "
Xiao Baiyu was not a sharp-tongued person, but now that he was enraged by the Butterfly Fairy's actions, his words became much harsher.
Not far away, the void vibrated. Someone was flying over using spatial magic, and the direction they were heading was exactly where the Butterfly Fairy had come from. Clearly, what Lu Ping said was true.
At this moment, even Mi Xuance, who had been silent on the side, could not help but say angrily, "Fellow Daoist Butterfly, you shouldn't have done this!"
After Mi Xuance was rescued by Lu Ping, he already knew that his strength was at the bottom of the group of True Spirit Cultivators. That was why he had been following Lu Ping closely, in order to fight for a chance of survival as much as possible. But when facing other True Spirit Cultivators, he was also very cautious, for fear of offending them.
Now, even this honest man could not help but criticize angrily. It was clear that the Butterfly Fairy's actions were really irritating.
The Butterfly Fairy did not expect Lu Ping to be able to discover Taoist Ape's Real Body Puppet so quickly. When Lu Ping pointed out her plan, the four of them had inadvertently blocked her way to pursue Taoist Ape's Real Body Puppet.
Suppressing her fear of Lu Ping, she knew that she had angered the crowd, so she said directly, "I've been fighting with a giant puppet, and it seems to be Taoist Ape's Real Body Puppet. I've already used some methods to get rid of the puppet, but I don't know why this person found me again. To avoid any misunderstandings, I'll block the pursuers head-on, but I hope you can help me. With the five of us working together, it won't be difficult to destroy Taoist Ape's Real Body Puppet!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Butterfly Fairy's voice trailed off, the Wise Ape said, "It's not impossible for us to help, but I'd like to ask you to tell us what kind of backup plan Daoist Chan had left behind. Since we're both the Seven Ancestors of Creation, it's possible that the ancestor of the ape bloodline didn't leave behind a backup plan for his descendants!"
"As you said before, if the Old Man is lucky enough to obtain some benefits from Ape Laozu, it will be of great help to us in breaking through the passage formation!"
Wise Ape's words stunned not only the Butterfly Fairy, but also Lu Ping and the others, but in the end, Lu Ping and the others did not say anything. They just waited for the Butterfly Fairy to make her choice.
The Butterfly Fairy sighed and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I actually don't know what kind of backup plan Laozu of the Heaven Splitting Sect has left behind. We can only wait for the right time. These trump cards will naturally be revealed, just like the Yuwen family left behind by Peng Daoren, the disaster of Mara, the Dragon Pagoda Tree planted by Jiao Daoren, and so on. As for whether the other relics have been obtained by others, I'm afraid only the people involved will know. However, no one knows when these trump cards will be revealed, so we can only wait passively!"
"Your Excellency, it's so easy!" Xiao Baiyu obviously did not believe the Butterfly Fairy's words.
The Butterfly Fairy sighed and said, "I also know that it's hard for you to believe what I said, but it's the truth. Even I don't know what the backup plan Taoist Chan left behind is. All I can do is to break the Real Puppet with my own hands and see if I can obtain these relics!"
Wise Ape was about to say something, but Lu Ping directly interrupted him and said, "Well, if we get it, it's our fate. Taoist Ape's Real Puppet has arrived!"
Everyone looked over and saw that a vortex of Yuan Qi had condensed in the Void. As soon as a loud roar sounded, a giant cultivator had already passed through the Void and pounced on them from the vortex of Yuan Qi.
"Be careful!"
The Butterfly Fairy shouted. With a flick of her hand, the three-inch blood needle disappeared, leaving only a blood-red light that stirred up a nauseating smell of blood.
In mid-air, Ape Taoist's True Body Puppet let out a loud roar. It seemed to be extremely afraid of the Blood Transmuting Divine Needle. It stretched out a giant palm in front of it, and the Starry Sky Essence Qi that filled the space thousands of feet in front of it suddenly disappeared. Then, a strange power filled the area covered by the giant palm. Any magic technique that entered the area covered by this palm would accelerate the dissipation of the condensed Essence Qi and magic power, and its power would naturally dissipate.
When Taoist Ape was alive, he was good at controlling the world's spirit veins, and his magic was naturally related to this. The Puppet Taoist was able to drain the Yuan Qi thousands of feet in front of him with a single palm, and it could also absorb the power contained in the magic to dissolve the opponent's attack. Obviously, it was Taoist Ape's Real Puppet.
The three-inch blood needle could travel in and out of the Void, making it impossible to guard against. However, the Real Puppet in front of them had broken its trail with a single palm, and it could no longer launch a sneak attack.
When Wise Ape saw this, he raised the Spirit Treasure in his hand and smashed it at the Real Puppet in front of him with great force.
The Void shook. The area covered by the giant puppet's magic was destroyed by the power of Wise Ape's strike. The Yuan Qi that had been absorbed by the puppet rushed out and filled the Void again.
Wise Ape was not the only one who felt this blow. Lu Ping, Xiao Baiyu, and the others who were waiting to make a move were also aware that Wise Ape's strength could not be this powerful, even if the weapon he was holding was the Spirit Treasure that Taoist Ape had used in the past, which was equivalent to the Six Great Divine Weapons of Splitting the Heavens.
Unless … unless it was as Butterfly Fairy had said, that Taoist Ape really had a backup plan, and Wise Ape's strike had really triggered an opportunity!
