The corpse puppet's figure paused for a moment. A hint of hesitation flashed through its scarlet eyes as it stared dumbfoundedly at He Xiangyu. Ever since it appeared, it had been invincible. No one was its opponent.
Now that there was someone who could stop it, it instinctively froze.
In just an instant, the Corpse Puppet let out a furious roar. Her figure turned into a blood-red whirlwind as she flew toward He Xiangyu. At this moment, the Corpse Puppet gave up on Bu Zhangkun and set its sights on He Xiangyu. It seemed that it was even more interested in He Xiangyu now.
Roar!
Before the corpse puppet's figure arrived, the Yin Soul Pearl on top of its head emitted a black light. In the next moment, cold air descended, instantly enveloping a radius of a hundred meters. He Xiangyu's position was coincidentally at the center of the cold air circle. The ground around him was instantly covered with a layer of strange black ice crystals.
Mo Wen was certain that even an intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner would immediately turn into an ice sculpture with the Cold Qi of the Cold Qi ring.
It was too terrifying, as if the air itself could freeze.
He Xiangyu's expression also changed greatly. His face turned pale in an instant. He kept operating a huge amount of Inner Qi to resist the cold air around him, but the cold air released by the Corpse Puppet was too terrifying. Even he was greatly affected. His hands and feet were stiff and his movements were countless times slower. No matter how good his Body Movements were, he could not perform them at this time.
The Corpse Puppet was like a high-speed whirlwind, crazily blowing towards He Xiangyu, not the slightest bit affected by the cold air.
This time, the expression of the senior elder of the Five Beasts Clan finally became ugly. The sense of danger that rose in his heart was one that he rarely felt in his life. The shadow of death loomed over his heart.
Although the strength of the Corpse Puppet could not compare to that of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, it far surpassed that of an ordinary pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner. In terms of strength, even three He Xiangyus would not be a match for the Corpse Puppet.
"The Corpse Puppet can actually utilize the power of the Dark Soul Bead. I'm afraid we're in deep trouble this time."
Mo Wen's expression was also ugly, and there was a faint intention to retreat in his eyes. That Cold Qi circle was not ordinary cold qi, but cold qi released by the Dark Soul Pearl. It was very terrifying.
Fortunately, the Corpse Puppet was only a zombie after all. It did not have intelligence, and its ability to control the Dark Soul Pearl was limited. Otherwise, if it was someone with the same level of cultivation as the Corpse Puppet who activated the Dark Soul Pearl, He Xiangyu of the Five Beasts Sect would definitely be turned into an ice sculpture in an instant, and it would not only affect his mobility.
The Dark Soul Pearl was the crystallization of a ghost cultivator whose cultivation was at least in the Primordial Spirit realm. The terrifying power it contained naturally could not be measured by the standards of martial arts practitioners. However, martial artists were also unable to unleash the full power of the Dark Soul Pearl.
"Grandmother Hui Ling, since you are here, don't hide anymore. Lend me a hand. Only by working together will we have a chance of defeating this monster. Otherwise, no one will be able to obtain the Dark Soul Pearl and the Cries of Hades Bell."
In a moment of desperation, He Xiangyu suddenly looked at the mysterious person beside Pavilion Master Ye Rong. That person was also wearing a mask and wore a large gray robe. This person was hidden in the robe.
Previously, this person had not been conspicuous among the Purple Qi Pavilion team. However, at this moment, only Pavilion Leader Ye Rong and her were left. Naturally, she was extremely conspicuous.
Jiang Pingzhou and Jiang Jingtao had long guessed her identity. Recalling which absolute strong practitioners they were not familiar with in the Purple Qi Pavilion, they had a few candidates in mind. However, they did not dare to be certain.
"Grandmother Hui Ling!"
"It's actually her. She actually did not die!"
"How is this possible?"
…
When He Xiangyu said those words, although they were already mentally prepared, Jiang Pingzhou and Jiang Jingtao were still shocked.
Grandmother Hui Ling, whose name had shaken the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension back then, had actually not died. She had been alive all this time!
For Jiang Pingzhou and Jiang Jingtao, this disappearance was simply too shocking. Hence, everyone had thought that this person was already dead. However, many years later, they discovered that she was still alive. One could imagine how they felt.
In terms of seniority, Grandmother Hui Ling was of the same generation as He Xiangyu. In fact, she was older than He Xiangyu by more than 20 years. Back then, when she had become famous, He Xiangyu most likely had not yet made a name for himself. Such a person had actually not died. How old was she?
Jiang Pingzhou and Jiang Jingtao looked at each other. They both saw a complicated look in each other's eyes.
Medical Sect and Weapon Forging Sect were factions in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension that were second only to Five Beasts Sect and Purple Qi Pavilion. For many years, they had been developing rapidly and constantly growing stronger. It was naturally impossible to say that they did not have the slightest intention of surpassing Purple Qi Pavilion and Five Beasts Sect.
On the contrary, Jiang Pingzhou and Jiang Jingtao were ambitious. They had always had a long-cherished wish, which was to make the sect under them surpass Purple Qi Pavilion and Five Beasts Sect in their lifetime and become the number one sect in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension.
However, at this moment, this thought made them feel so childish. The hundreds of years of heritage of Purple Qi Pavilion and Five Beasts Sect was indeed not something they could imagine. Although Medical Sect and Weapon Forging Sect also had some hidden tricks that they had not used, one Grandmother Hui Ling was most likely enough to make them not dare to act rashly.
However, one Grandmother Hui Ling was most likely enough to make them not dare to act rashly. Moreover, the two of them knew that there were other powers in Purple Qi Pavilion and Five Beasts Sect that they did not know about. There were probably more than one person who was not inferior to Pavilion Leader Ye Rong and Bu Zhangkun.
He Xiangyu was in danger. Bu Zhangkun was even more anxious. However, his ability was limited. At this moment, he could not save He Xiangyu at all. The Corpse Puppet was already less than ten meters away from He Xiangyu. He could not do anything at all.
"Humph, you old thing, you are becoming more and more useless."
Grandmother Hui Ling, who had not spoken all this while, coldly snorted. She seemed to be a little dissatisfied with He Xiangyu's shouts. However, she did not ignore him. It was because she also knew that only by joining forces would they have a chance of winning. If He Xiangyu died at the hands of the Corpse Puppet, it would be almost impossible for her to deal with the Corpse Puppet alone.
Before she finished speaking, she appeared in mid-air. From her gray robes, a withered hand stretched out. In the hand was a crudely shaped walking stick. On the trunk of the walking stick, there was a dark red dragon circling, releasing a dim red light.
A wave of spiritual power swept out. The walking stick was actually a spiritual weapon. Moreover, its grade was not low. It was a top grade spiritual weapon.
After the red light flashed, a dragon-shaped shadow appeared behind the Corpse Puppet. It directly passed through the circle of cold air and fiercely crashed into the Corpse Puppet's body.
Rumble.
A terrifying power swept out. Streaks of deep black cracks appeared on the ground of the main hall. Even the main hall, which was made of special materials, could not withstand the terrifying battle power at this moment.
The Corpse Puppet, who was originally less than five meters away from He Xiangyu, felt the attack coming from behind it. Immediately, it roared angrily. It turned around and struck out with its claws, directly smashing the dragon-shaped shadow into pieces. Any attack seemed to be unable to withstand a single blow from the Corpse Puppet.
However, Grandmother Hui Ling did not do this to injure the Corpse Puppet. She had already achieved her goal. Due to the collision of the two terrifying powers, the circle of cold air gradually collapsed and dissipated. He Xiangyu's figure flashed and he escaped from the circle of cold air, flying more than a hundred meters away.
He let out a long breath. There was some lingering fear in his eyes. Just now, if the Corpse Puppet had ignored Grandmother Hui Ling's interference and resolutely launched an attack on him, under those circumstances, even if he did not die, he would most likely be half-dead.
Fortunately, the Corpse Puppet did not have spiritual intelligence. Everything was based on instinct. It would not have so many schemes. This could be considered a blessing in disguise.
"Such powerful cultivation."
A glint of surprise flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. He looked at Grandmother Hui Ling. This mysterious person actually had cultivation at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm. She was a true pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm. Her cultivation was much higher than He Xiangyu's. This surprised Mo Wen.
There was actually such a person in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. Her attack just now did not seem to have much power. However, with Mo Wen's acute senses, how could he not see the terrifying power contained within it?
Otherwise, it would not have passed through the circle of cold air and directly affected the Corpse Puppet. A normal attack would most likely immediately be frozen and dissolved by the cold air the moment it entered the circle of cold air.
"Old He, are you alright?"
Bu Zhangkun saw that He Xiangyu had escaped and immediately flew to He Xiangyu's side. He looked at the Corpse Puppet warily.
"You have broken through?"
He Xiangyu ignored Bu Zhangkun. His gaze suddenly looked at Grandmother Hui Ling. Just now, Bu Zhangkun, Jiang Pingzhou, and the others might not have noticed anything. However, how could it be hidden from him? The power just now could only be achieved by ancient martial art practitioners at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm. Even he was slightly inferior.
"I was just lucky," Grandmother Hui Ling said plainly.
"The heritage of the Purple Qi Pavilion is indeed frightening." He Xiangyu's gaze was a little complicated. He knew very well how difficult it was to break through to the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm. Eighty years ago, he was at the later stage of the Golden Elixir Realm. However, after eighty years of hard work, he still had not broken through to the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm. Although Grandmother Hui Ling had made it sound simple, how could it be luck that he had made it this far?
"In the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, other than 'that person', you are most likely the strongest practitioner," He Xiangyu said somewhat melancholically. In reality, at his realm, his knowledge was naturally not small. There were many later stage Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioners hidden in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. However, after so many years, other than that person, there was only Grandmother Hui Ling who had reached the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm and above.
"That might not be the case. There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. That person is an existence that we can only look up to. Who knows if there are other hidden practitioners?"
Grandmother Hui Ling shook her head. A strange look flashed in her eyes. The higher one's cultivation, the wider one's knowledge would naturally be.
"Grandmother, you …"
Pavilion Leader Ye Rong flew to Grandmother Hui Ling's side and looked at her in surprise. Everyone in the main hall had heard what He Xiangyu had said just now. She had not expected that Grandmother Hui Ling had actually broken through to that level. In the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, how many years had it been since an ancient martial art practitioner at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm had appeared?
In reality, Grandmother Hui Ling had been living in seclusion all year round. It was difficult for Pavilion Leader Ye Rong to even meet her. Hence, she did not know Grandmother Hui Ling's specific cultivation. To her, this was practically a huge surprise.
Once news of Grandmother Hui Ling's cultivation spread, the Purple Qi Pavilion would definitely secure their position as the number one sect in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. They would firmly suppress the Five Beasts Sect and no one would be able to surpass them. (To be continued.)
