When Liu Ming thought about the Black Spirit Group and the House of the Third Marquis, he felt a headache coming on.
According to what Hu Chunniang said, the Third Marquis could be the backer of the Black Spirit Group. Perhaps the entire House of the Third Marquis was the Black Spirit Group's nest.
His original plan to sneak in to find the secret could only be put on hold for now.
Otherwise, even if he was confident that his strength was not something a normal Late Perfection Spirit Apostle could compare to, he definitely did not want to be discovered and be surrounded and attacked by a dozen Black Spirit Group members.
In this way, he did not need to rush into the House of the Third Marquis. Instead, he needed to verify whether the disappearance of the previous Supervising Disciple of the Barbarian Ghost Sect was really the work of the Black Spirit Group.
As long as he could find evidence, he could wait for the Sect's reinforcements to arrive. Then, he could borrow the power of lightning to wipe out the Black Spirit Group.
At that time, without the Black Spirit Group secretly causing trouble, it would be easy for him to enter and exit the House of the Third Marquis.
Although Liu Ming already had a plan in mind, he still thought about it carefully. When he felt that there were no problems with the plan, he let out a breath and put the matter to the back of his mind.
In the next moment, he flipped his hand and a thin white book suddenly appeared in his hand. The cover had the words "Thirteen Puppet Techniques" printed on it.
This was a book of basic puppet techniques that he had bought from the underground market place two days ago. There were no overly mysterious techniques involved in this book, and all of them were practical techniques for manipulating puppets.
Even those who had never practiced the Fruit Puppet Technique before would be able to control puppets easily after reading this book.
Of course, this kind of control method could not be compared to a real Nine Enchantment Sect disciple and it did not involve other aspects of puppet techniques.
The Nine Enchantment Sect disciples not only had to learn how to control a few puppets, but they also had to be able to refine and strengthen puppets. If their own puppets were destroyed in battle, they had to be able to repair them as quickly as possible.
However, all of this was very clear to Liu Ming.
The reason why he had bought this book was because the puppet techniques recorded in the book were easy to learn and would allow him to easily control puppet beasts.
He flipped through the book in his hand page by page, a thoughtful look on his face.
After an unknown period of time, he suddenly closed the ancient book in his hand and quietly meditated for a moment with his eyes closed. Only then did he shake his sleeve and two light blue balls rolled out.
Liu Ming made a hand seal with one hand and opened his eyes to stare at the two balls. He pointed a finger at each of the two balls.
"Pu!" "Pu!"
After the two balls trembled, they suddenly transformed into two blue wooden birds with four wings on their backs.
They were the two Puppet Beasts he had obtained from the Ninth Prince's Guest Elder not long ago.
Although these two wooden birds could not be compared to the puppet beasts of the core disciples of the Nine Enchantment Sect that he had come into contact with before, they were still extremely rare quality goods among the rogue cultivators.
If he could control it freely, he would immediately have an additional flexible method to deal with enemies when he fought with others.
Of course, the most important thing was to familiarize himself with this technique. This would not take him a few days.
In the following time, Liu Ming muttered to himself and the ten fingers on both of his hands trembled continuously. The two blue wooden birds followed the movements of his fingers and rose into the air crookedly. They flew high and low in the secret room.
… …
In the following half a month, Liu Ming learned alchemy under Fan Baizi's guidance while familiarizing himself with the method of controlling the two wooden bird puppets in the cave.
Unknowingly, it was the day of the royal family's ceremony that Hu Chunniang had mentioned.
Although this woman had said that he only needed to wait for news, Liu Ming thought about it for a while and quietly descended the Immortal Dawn Mountain at noon.
For some reason, he felt that Hu Chunniang's trip would not be too smooth and he still had some plans to help her.
When he appeared in a tea house not far from the royal palace, he had already transformed into a tall, sturdy man with a face full of valiance.
As Liu Ming drank a pot of tea, he sat in the tea house and waited quietly.
The location of the Xuanjing royal palace was very clever. One side was next to a famous lake in Xuanjing, one side was next to the Xuanjing Guards Barracks, and the other side was a special area where many of the royal family members and princes resided. Only one side faced the palace gate at the center of Xuanjing.
Liu Ming was on one side of the area where the royal family of the King's Mansion was located. The other three sides were either heavily enchanted or heavily guarded.
If Hu Chunniang succeeded and left the palace, she would most likely have to sneak out from this side.
Time slowly passed!
As Liu Ming sat in the tea house, he could even faintly hear some noises coming from within the high walls of the royal palace. It seemed that the royal family's ceremony had begun smoothly.
At this time, groups of armored guards appeared near the royal palace and patrolled back and forth.
It seemed that because of the ceremony, the entire royal palace was more guarded than usual.
Liu Ming's expression didn't change as he slowly tasted the tea. One pot of tea could last at least four hours.
After drinking three pots of tea, the sky turned completely gloomy.
Liu Ming took out a piece of loose silver from his body and placed it on the table. He then expressionlessly left the tea house.
After the time it took to eat a meal, he slapped an Invisibility Glyph on himself and appeared at the exit of an alley not far from the tea house. His body leaned against the nearby wall as he looked at the distant royal palace without moving.
After the clamor of the day, the royal palace was very quiet at night. Other than the occasional "peng peng" sound, no other sounds could be heard.
Seeing this, Liu Ming wasn't in a hurry and remained silent where he was.
After an unknown amount of time, an earth shattering sound came from within the royal palace. Following this, a clear sound rang out and a shocking Sword Qi shot out from the center of the royal palace.
Following this, the entire royal palace boiled up. Under the bright lights, countless guards poured out from all parts of the royal palace and all charged towards the source of the Sword Qi.
Seeing this, Liu Ming's eyes flashed but he wasn't in a hurry to act.
In the end, after a while, after a series of explosions, another Sword Qi shot into the sky from within the royal palace. It seemed to be not far from the outer walls of the royal palace.
Seeing this, Liu Ming didn't hesitate anymore as his body moved and like a ghost, he neared the high walls of the royal palace.
When his body flashed, he silently appeared on top of the high walls. Looking at the chaotic area, he saw a white shadow under the protection of two dense Sword Qi rushing towards him.
Near the white shadow, there were a dozen practitioners of different cultivation levels using various practitioner weapons to attack the white shadow.
Although this level of attack couldn't break through the white shadow's defense, it greatly decreased its speed and made it unable to immediately charge out of the encirclement.
At this time, there were faintly discernible Gold Spirit Guests rushing over on their clouds.
Seeing this situation, Liu Ming no longer hesitated. His figure moved and turned into a black phantasm that blasted straight at the battlefield.
At this time, all of the practitioners and guards were attracted by the white shadow and didn't notice that there was another stranger in the surroundings.
Seeing this, Liu Ming's heart was filled with joy. Without saying anything, he formed a sign with his two hands and sparks appeared in front of him. Instantly, a scarlet red fireball appeared out of nowhere. With a spin, it became the size of a water jar and at the same time, a wave of hot air swept out.
But this way, a few cultivators nearby immediately sensed it.
One of them quickly turned around and saw the huge fireball in Liu Ming's hand. He couldn't help but be shocked:
"Who are you, how come I've never seen you before … Not good, this scoundrel has a companion."
The man had only asked a few questions before he realized what was going on and shouted.
But at this time, Liu Ming flicked his wrist and the huge fireball let out a buzzing sound as it shot towards the group of people in front of him.
After being reminded, the other practitioners turned around and saw this situation. They didn't continue to attack the white shadow and all cried out in shock as they retreated.
"Hong!"
The fireball exploded in the middle of the crowd and the rolling flames spread out in all directions. A mushroom shaped cloud of fire shot into the sky.
Two Gold Spirit Guests who were a bit slower were covered by the fire cloud and instantly turned into ashes with a miserable shriek. Even the dozen or so Qi Practitioner guards nearby were not spared and ended up the same way.
The white shadow took this opportunity and suddenly put the two swords together. It actually turned into a huge sword qi and rushed out of the cloud of fire. In a few flashes, it arrived next to Liu Ming.
"Junior Qian, quickly leave. There are actually Sea Race practitioners in the palace. I was caught off guard and was hit by their vicious attacks. I must immediately find a quiet place to heal. " The white shadow was a girl wearing a white bone mask. Once she saw Liu Ming's face, she was first startled but immediately realized and quickly said in a low voice.
From the voice, it was Hu Chunniang.
However, as soon as the woman finished speaking, she suddenly let out a muffled groan and spat out a mouthful of black blood. Almost half of her white clothes were dyed red. Then, her delicate body swayed and she fell to the ground.
"Sea Race!"
When Liu Ming heard this, he was also shocked. But with a shake of his sleeve, he wrapped the girl's waist and with another pull, a fragrant and delicate body was wrapped in his embrace.
Hu Chunniang's body was soft and did not have the slightest strength to resist. It was obvious that she had already lost consciousness.
Without hesitation, Liu Ming stomped his feet and like an arrow, he brought the girl and shot out of the palace.
At this time, the Gold Spirit Guests that had previously retreated angrily all chased after them.
However, after consuming the Levitation Grass, Liu Ming's speed had long since surpassed the imagination of a normal person. Liu Ming's body only made a few blurry movements before he disappeared from the high walls of the palace like a wisp of smoke.
By the time the Gold Spirit Guests reached the top of the palace walls in shock and anger, Liu Ming and Liu Ming had already disappeared among the various tall buildings.
They could not help but look at each other!
"Immediately send people to seal off the four gates. The intruder has already been injured and will not be able to leave Xuanjing in a short amount of time." At this time, a cold voice suddenly came from behind.
The Gold Spirit Guests were shocked. When they turned around, they saw a large man with blue hair and a purple beard coldly looking at them.
"Yes, Commander Qiu! We will immediately notify the guards of the four gates and immediately seal off the four gates! "A practitioner guard that seemed to have a high status took a step forward and replied respectfully.
