If the Evil Soul had Tier Three Combat Power, Li Chang’an wouldn’t need any other tricks. He could crush Murong Kang with the Evil Soul alone!
He returned to Changqing Mountain and continued his Cultivation.
「A few days later.」
Deep in the night, Li Chang’an sat in the depths of his cave abode, practicing the Great Yi Wood Sword Array.
Before long, a golden light materialized before his eyes.
[Divination has been refreshed]
[Today’s Divination: Auspicious]
[You receive a distress call and learn that Mo Wenyuan and many Mo Clan mbers are trapped in a Puppet chanism City. You imdiately go to their rescue and succeed in saving them. In the legacy left behind by the city’s master, you discover an offensive Divine Sense Technique.]
"A Divine Sense Technique!"
Li Chang’an’s eyes lit up, and he imdiately stopped his training.
He read the Divination’s contents several tis to make sure he hadn’t misread it.
As long as he rescued them, he would obtain this technique.
"This technique has co at the perfect ti!"
Li Chang’an was overjoyed and imdiately began to prepare.
’The Puppet chanism City ntioned in the Divination is probably not a good place. It’s most likely full of traps.’
Puppetry Technique and chanical Technique were two different Skills.
But the two had common ground.
Once combined, they could unleash unimaginable power.
’Mo Wenyuan has a Middle Stage Foundation Establishnt Cultivation, and his Puppetry Skill has reached Tier Two Low Grade. If even he is trapped, I can’t afford to be careless.’
Li Chang’an mused.
His Puppetry Technique had long since reached Tier Two Top Grade and was approaching Quasi-Tier Three.
For this rescue mission, he planned to bring extra Puppets to scout for danger.
...
「The next day, at the crack of dawn.」
A bird suddenly appeared, circling over Changqing Mountain. It looked like an ordinary Tier One Demon Beast.
Dahuang was about to make a move and take it down.
But Li Chang’an stopped him.
"Don’t. It’s here to ask for help."
Li Chang’an could tell at a glance that the bird was a Flesh Puppet. It carried Mo Wenyuan’s aura.
He raised his hand and beckoned.
The bird fell into his palm.
Then, Li Chang’an opened its body and took out a Jade Scroll from within.
Holding the Jade Scroll, he sent his Divine Sense into it and imdiately heard Mo Wenyuan’s voice.
"Daoist Li, I and many of my Mo Clan mbers are trapped inside a Puppet chanism City. The city is fraught with danger, and none of us can escape."
"Your Changqing Mountain is very close to the chanical City. I sent this puppet bird to ask for your aid."
"If you receive my plea for help, please pass this ssage on to the Mo Family’s Cultivators..."
Li Chang’an quickly finished listening to the entire ssage in the Jade Scroll.
Mo Wenyuan knew his personality well and didn’t expect him to co to the rescue himself, only that he would ask the Mo Family for help.
Inside the Jade Scroll, there was a very simple map.
It marked the location of the Puppet chanism City.
Li Chang’an took a look. It was indeed not far from Changqing Mountain; he could get there in half an hour.
’According to the Divination, I can rescue them by myself.’
After so thought, Li Chang’an called for Jiang Muyu.
He gave the ssage to Jiang Muyu and instructed her to go to Yellow Crane Immortal City and deliver it to the Mo Family.
"Muyu, be careful on the road."
Li Chang’an gave her many warnings.
"Don’t you worry, Young Master. I have a Middle Stage Foundation Establishnt Cultivation. I’m not a three-year-old child."
Jiang Muyu put away the ssage, transford into a streak of blue Escape Light, and vanished over the horizon in an instant.
Li Chang’an, anwhile, flew toward the chanical City marked on the map.
「About half an hour later.」
He arrived at the location of the Puppet City.
The area was a range of densely forested mountains, and the chanical City lay beneath the peaks.
Li Chang’an spread his Divine Sense and quickly found the entrance. With a flicker, he followed it downward.
Before long, a chanical Giant Gate hundreds of zhang tall appeared before his eyes.
The entire Giant Gate was constructed from countless precise and complex chanical components. Its surface was etched with dense, intricate Magical Power patterns, exuding an ancient and weathered aura.
It looked as if it had stood there for an eternity.
Li Chang’an noticed that a hole, about two zhang wide, had been blasted into the bottom-left corner of the Giant Gate.
’It seems Mo Wenyuan and the others weren’t skilled enough in Puppetry Technique and chanical Technique. They didn’t use finesse to bypass this Giant Gate but forced their way through. No wonder they’re trapped inside.’
He observed it carefully for a mont. Although he could understand so parts, he couldn’t decipher the entire Giant Gate yet.
He had no other choice but to enter the chanical City through the hole.
Beyond the Giant Gate was a silent and freezing passageway.
The walls on all sides were made entirely of chanical components, faintly emitting a dangerous aura.
Li Chang’an soon detected the auras of more than ten Cultivators deep within the chanical City, including Mo Wenyuan and even the Mo Feng siblings.
At the sa ti, the dozen or so people also sensed his aura.
Mo Wenyuan’s pleasantly surprised voice rang out.
"Daoist Li, you received my ssage for help?"
"I did."
Li Chang’an replied while surveying the entire passageway.
A mont later, Mo Wenyuan noticed he was alone and couldn’t help but be surprised.
"Daoist Li, why have you co alone? You didn’t find the other Mo Family disciples?"
"Rest assured, Daoist Mo. I’ve already sent a Foundation Establishnt friend to fetch the Mo Family. I ca here to see if you needed any other help."
As soon as his voice fell, another, older voice echoed from deep within the chanical City.
"I am Mo Hong. Thank you for your help, Daoist Li."
Hearing this na, Li Chang’an was slightly taken aback.
He rembered that the new Mo Family Patriarch was nad Mo Hong.
"Daoist Mo, why are you all trapped here? Could it be for so opportunity within this city?"
"Sigh... It’s a long story..."
Mo Hong sighed deeply and began to explain to Li Chang’an.
Not long ago, after he beca the Mo Family Patriarch, he discovered many miscarriages of justice within the clan. These had caused a great number of Mo Family disciples to suffer grievances, and so had even betrayed the clan and left.
The most notable among them were the Mo Feng siblings.
That pair of siblings had been forced into betraying the clan.
He was determined to right these wrongs, but a faction of the clan mbers disagreed—especially the many mbers from the old Patriarch’s lineage.
The Foundation Establishnt Cultivators from that lineage actually planned to launch a preemptive strike and kill the Mo Feng siblings.
