After the storm swept over, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xuan stood in the air. Their gazes shifted downwards, and they quickly saw the corpse-like Ren Shaodong. This fellow had similarly failed to avoid the energy storm earlier.
Xiao Yan's figure flashed, and he had already appeared in front of Ren Shaodong. However, he discovered that the latter was no longer alive. As for the puppet, it had also been destroyed in the energy storm earlier because it was too close. At this point, the six people from the Heavenly Puppet Sect could be considered to have been finished off.
After keeping Ren Shaodong's Storage Ring, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xuan once again set out on their journey.
Not long after the two of them left, an illusionary figure finally appeared from a jade pendant that hung from Ren Shaodong's corpse. His face was filled with hatred. It was Ren Shaodong.
At the same time, three figures were chasing Xiao Yan and Xiao Xuan at an extremely fast speed from a certain place within the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect.
A long time later, when night descended, the desolate sand that filled the sky was swept across the land by a cold wind. Regardless of whether it was the city walls or the mountains, it was difficult for them to escape the baptism of the wind and sand.
In the wastelands, one would not be able to see the moon and stars when one looked up, nor would one be able to see the streams and forests when one looked down. It was difficult to distinguish one's surroundings. Coupled with the irritating weather, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xuan decided to stop. Of course, the main reason for this was naturally due to the great battle during the day. After a few exchanges, the two of them had expended quite a bit of energy. Resting for a night could be considered as making their journey easier.
After finding a rock, the two of them lit a bonfire in the lee of the wind and rested for a while. The fire burning in the dark night was like a bright star in the boundless night sky, illuminating a large area of the surrounding land. The dim light of the fire was even reflected on the constantly sweeping yellow sand in the air, like a layer of gray mist.
Beside the bonfire, the flickering light of the flames reflected on the bodies of Xiao Yan and Xiao Xuan. At this moment, Xiao Yan was holding a Storage Ring in his hand. His brows were furrowed as an uneasy feeling rose in his heart.
Ren Shaodong was already dead. Logically speaking, the Spiritual Imprint on the Storage Ring should have dissipated along with him. However, when Xiao Yan was about to pour his Spiritual Strength into the Storage Ring, he was shocked to discover that his Spiritual Strength was still isolated outside. The Spiritual Imprint on the Storage ring was still as strong as before. If it were not for his powerful Spiritual Strength, Xiao Yan would not have been able to open the Storage Ring.
Although the storage ring had been opened, it also indicated to Xiao Yan that Ren Shaodong was not dead. At the very least, his spirit was still alive. However, how was this possible? With Ren Shaodong's Spiritual Strength, it was impossible for him to hide in front of Xiao Yan unless …
"God! It's that thing on his body that is concealing his Spiritual Aura! "
Only at this moment did Xiao Yan recall this. However, he did not have the time to care about this. Even if Ren Shaodong had already returned to the territory of the Heavenly Puppet Sect, or even returned to the Heavenly Puppet Sect, it was impossible for him to catch up to them. After tomorrow, the two of them would be able to reach the border of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect and enter the Fire Maple Forest. At that time, even if the Heavenly Puppet Sect caught up to them, what could they do?
After withdrawing his thoughts, Xiao Yan turned his gaze back to the Storage Ring in his hand. With a thought, his Spiritual Strength immediately poured into it.
As the junior sect leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect, he believed that there would definitely be many treasures in Ren Shaodong's Storage Ring. If he could plunder one or two of them, today's battle would not be considered a waste of effort.
After searching for a while, Xiao Yan could not help but frown. Other than some medicinal pills and Spirit Stones, there were pitifully few Qi Methods and Dou Skills in Ren Shaodong's Storage Ring. Even the Spirit Stones were merely some ordinary low tier Spirit Stones. It seemed that there was nothing worthy of Xiao Yan's attention.
However, just as Xiao Yan was about to withdraw his Spiritual Strength, a golden scroll in the Storage Ring attracted his attention. In particular, the three large words printed in blood on it caused Xiao Yan to be moved.
"Vajra Puppet!"
"This is the secret technique of the Heavenly Puppet Sect to refine puppets?"
A thought passed through Xiao Yan's mind and he immediately took out this scroll. The instant the scroll entered his hand, an ice-cold metallic texture and a heavy pressure followed. Xiao Yan's hand exerted a little force before he was able to firmly receive it.
"Vajra Puppet, High Level Spirit Rank."
As the scroll was slowly opened, the information within it gradually entered Xiao Yan's eyes. This was especially true for the refining method, which caused Xiao Yan to be extremely shocked.
The puppets refined with the secret technique of the Vajra Puppet were divided into three stages of cultivation: Returnance, Origin King, and Origin King. The strongest puppet could reach the terrifying peak of Origin King. At the same time, the color of the puppet would change as its strength increased.
Returnance puppets were usually black, Origin King puppets were silver, and Origin King puppets would become completely golden. At that time, both their battle prowess and defense would reach an extremely terrifying level. For example, Ren Shaodong's puppet from before was half a step away from Origin King. Although it was almost completely silver, it was still somewhat lacking. It was exactly because of this that the Northern King was able to fight against it. Otherwise, even with the Northern King's terrifying recovery ability, he would not have been able to defeat an Origin King puppet so easily.
Through his understanding, the Vajra Puppet was just as Xiao Yan had guessed. Once it was refined, its battle prowess and defense would be extremely great. At the same level of cultivation, the Vajra Puppet's battle prowess would not be any weaker than an expert with a high class Dou Skill. Its defense would be even more terrifying. However, it was exactly because of this that the advantages of the Vajra Puppet also became its disadvantages.
The overly great battle prowess and defense made it impossible for the Vajra Puppet to endure any external attacks. This also meant that once the Vajra Puppet was damaged, it would be impossible to repair. However, Xiao Yan's Celestial Demon Puppet perfectly made up for this.
"If I can combine these two puppets … wouldn't the Northern King's strength be able to reach a whole new level?"
With that thought, Xiao Yan immediately felt a desire. The Northern King's current battle prowess was only comparable to late Returnance experts. Although he had not completely absorbed the power of lightning within him, he would still need a very long time to refine it. However, if he could combine the Vajra Puppet with the Northern King's battle prowess, Xiao Yan believed that the Northern King's battle prowess would definitely reach Origin King in a short amount of time. However, this process required an opportunity.
Unless Xiao Yan was able to merge the benefits of the Hard Gold Puppet and the Sky Demon Puppet Qi Method, he would only be able to refine and raise the Northern King's strength if the two were compatible. However, it was not an easy task to understand these two completely different Secret Techniques and merge them into one.
However, just as Xiao Yan frowned, Xiao Xuan suddenly extended his hand and took the Vajra Puppet.
