In the blink of an eye, Yang Xiao suddenly jolted awake from bed, his first reflex was to touch his neck, and after confirming there was nothing amiss, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The residue of fear was still there, his entire body soaked in cold sweat, as if he had just been pulled from water, Yang Xiao panted heavily, images of the previous horror flashing in his mind.
Though the female demon wasn’t human, she never did anything aningless, and Yang Xiao couldn’t understand what her intentions were with this act.
But he knew it definitely had sothing to do with the Wordless Heavenly Scripture, and with a thought, this Daoist Sect’s secret treasure appeared in his hand.
Since Jiushan Cangxuan already knew the book was with him, there was no need to keep it under wraps.
At the mont the book landed in his hand, suddenly, a set of mories equally as intense as his own appeared in Yang Xiao’s mind.
No, that’s not right; it should be said that a mory originally erased reappeared in his mind, a mory he deliberately chose to overlook.
Related to Jiushan Cangxuan, when he used the Wordless Heavenly Scripture to foresee the future of the Jiushan family, he saw a woman in red within the book, the female demon from the Heavenly Water Pavilion.
Logically, Yang Xiao rembered this image too, but strangely, he overlooked such critical information as if so force from beyond had shielded everything.
No need to think; this must have been Jiushan Cangxuan’s handiwork, who had previously done sothing similar in the illusion, making him forget about Jiu Shan Sha Yue’s Demon Sword.
Understanding this, Yang Xiao realized the good sister’s painstaking intentions, that under the guise of teaching him a lesson, she helped him break the mory lock set by Jiushan Cangxuan, allowing him to see the truth about the Jiushan family’s future.
Future conflicts between the Jiushan family and the Ghost Sect were inevitable, and amidst it, the good sister’s figure appeared, sothing Yang Xiao couldn’t afford to ignore.
Jiushan Cangxuan only saw the good sister, aning she was the key to this war, indicating that he too would be drawn into this battle.
Of course, this was not Yang Xiao’s wish, but from the foreseen result, it seed he had no choice.
That night, Yang Xiao’s thoughts were in turmoil; he began assessing his relationship with the Jiushan family seriously, weighing the pros and cons, as he didn’t believe the future was unchangeable, everything stemd from his upcoming choices.
The next morning, the Jiushan family’s guards approached him, informing that the puppet had been delivered to the Jiushan family’s mansion and was currently with Beiyu Ye; he could inspect it that night.
Shortly after having dinner, Yang Xiao, led by the guard, headed to the secluded courtyard where Beiyu Ye engaged in corpse refining, and there, Yang Xiao once again saw the samurai puppet.
"Yang, it’s remarkable you survived the attack from this puppet," Beiyu Ye evidently knew of Yang Xiao’s encounter in Kagoshima, and gazed at the samurai puppet before speaking in admiration.
Yang Xiao chuckled bitterly, shaking his head, "It was re luck, I had help back then, if not for that person, I would have been in danger too."
Yang Xiao was being truthful; last ti he faced three puppet attacks; he was fortunate to have Wang Yue Qianxun assisting in the fight.
Since their separation at the makeshift base in Kumamoto Prefecture’s forest, Yang Xiao hadn’t seen Wang Yue Qianxun, nor knew about her injuries.
"Brother Bei Yu, do you know this puppet?" Yang Xiao suddenly asked curiously.
"I know a little, information passed down from Jiushan family’s samurai; this puppet was once the Sect Leader of Japan’s Mist Hidden Sect, possessing strength surpassing a Half-step Nether Realm, later ambushed by enemies, his body accidentally fell into Kah Party’s hands, and beca a Lifebound Puppet for the Kah Party’s Shadow Gate Five Escape Clan’s Air General."
At this, Beiyu Ye touched the puppet’s armor, unable to restrain a sigh, "What a fine treasure, that Ninja Team Air General indeed had so skills!"
"Then I’ll have to trouble Brother Bei Yu." Yang Xiao respectfully thanked Beiyu Ye.
"No trouble at all, Yang, thanks for your help during the Secret Realm, otherwise I might have lost my life there."
"These past few days I’ve thought a lot, despite failing to retrieve the treasure, feeling ashad of my master’s teachings before departure, but leaving the green hills alive doesn’t worry the lack of firewood," Beiyu Ye smiled freely, evidently recovering from the recent setback.
Seeing Beiyu Ye like this, Yang Xiao couldn’t help but feel uneasy, knowing the Wordless Heavenly Scripture was with him, fearing Beiyu Ye would resort to conflict on discovering the truth.
"Yang, let introduce the special features of this puppet," Beiyu Ye approached, lifting a piece of armor from the samurai puppet.
"This armor is the core Magic Artifact of the puppet, capable of summoning Ghost Fog to envelop the battlefield, the fog itself is toxic, excessive inhalation can cause hallucinations."
"That’s not all, the truly terrifying part is even if the puppet sustains damage, it can use the power of the Ghost Fog to heal wounds."
Yang Xiao had witnessed the puppet’s self-healing capabilities earlier, almost suffering greatly himself.
"So what’s this puppet’s weakness?" Yang Xiao pursued.
"The healing ability has limits; if it suffers imdiately fatal damage, it cannot heal."
"Moreover, this puppet is perfectly restrained by an Angel Envoy’s dispelling magic tool, it can only function within the Ghost Fog, without it, it’s just an ordinary corpse."
"This puppet isn’t afraid of physical attacks, but it would be greatly disadvantaged upon eting a high-rank Apostle with a spiritual magical artifact, risking defeat, possibly even rebellion."
