Chapter 130 Backdoor Listing
"go!"
As Jinwu Shangren manipulated four paper soldiers, the attackers were also paper figures, which he was not surprised by.
He had anticipated this when the surrounding yin energy began to spread.
The only question is who is behind the attackers.
Was he a cultivator from Xiaoxin Island who, like him, occasionally practiced blood sacrifice to his mind and spirit? Was he another member of the Seven True Immortals Sect who was hostile to him in the Seven True Immortals City? Or perhaps... a disciple of the Blood God Sect from elsewhere?
The surroundings remained quiet.
Master Jinwu controlled four paper soldiers to attack the incoming paper figure. He saw that although the expressions drawn on the paper figure's face were abstract and lacked spirit, they were extremely difficult to destroy, which made him feel a chill in his heart.
It's time to send a message and ask for help!
Master Jinwu quietly prepared to take out his communication jade talisman.
Being a disciple of a sect offers great benefits; you never have to fight alone outside.
However, this was only for a fleeting moment when Venerable Jinwu was distracted by retrieving the communication jade talisman.
Paper figures emerged from the ground and descended from the clouds, instantly surrounding Venerable Jinwu and the paper cranes.
The paper figure at the front still wore that abstract expression, and with a light, fluttering hand, it scraped.
On the top of Master Jinwu's head, a large piece of scalp, along with hair and flesh, was scraped off.
Another paper figure seized the opportunity to step forward and, with both hands, took away the communication jade talisman that Venerable Jinwu had just taken out.
The third and fourth paper figures tore open his robes, and with a flick of their hands, a bloody hole was slashed open on the back of the Golden Phoenix Venerable, revealing the white bones inside.
"burst!"
Jinwu Shangren did not sit idly by and wait for death. When he realized what was happening, he did not utter a sound of pain. Instead, he stubbornly used his magical power and slapped his hands down.
The paper crane disintegrated, and the paper scattered and rolled up, forcibly squeezing a gap in the paper figures surrounding him. The blood-soaked Golden Wutong Master escaped from the gap, but after climbing halfway, his body swayed, and he was grabbed by the leg by the paper figures that came up and forcibly pulled down into the air.
Upon landing, Venerable Jinwu summoned four paper soldiers to come and protect him. With great difficulty, they managed to drive away the paper figures clinging to his legs and block them to the side.
When he looked up again, he saw that the sky was so densely packed with paper figures that it was almost impossible to see the sun.
Another person walked over from a distance.
Two paper figures landed and handed a storage bag to the person.
With his clothes torn and covered in blood, Master Jinwu flipped up the corner of his robe and saw that the paper figure opposite him had sent him someone else's storage bag instead of his own.
Not only was the communication jade talisman gone, but even the storage bag was taken away in one fell swoop.
"Only one person...?"
As Jinwu Shangren stared at the approaching Li Jieqing, what was even more unbelievable than his own defeat in a single encounter was that the densely packed paper figures above his head were actually controlled by just one person, their energy intertwined.
"This must be a disciple of the Blood God Sect. It is said that the demonic sect keeps paper slaves and mass-produces high-quality blood paper for use."
"However, because it is blood paper produced by outsiders, the paper figures made from it cannot compare to those paper figures made by disciples of the Blood God Sect using their own blood. No matter how exquisite the manipulation method is, it is impossible to achieve complete telepathy."
"Besides, with so many paper figures at this moment, no one could control them freely..."
Upon closer inspection, Venerable Jinwu realized that the densely packed paper figures before him were all at the late stage of Qi Refining, their auras subtly stronger than the paper soldiers he had cultivated for decades.
Having been a rogue cultivator for decades, even though he was facing a desperate situation, he had a vague idea in his mind.
This is the main road to the north, and cultivators pass by from time to time. If we hold out for a while, this Blood God Sect disciple will not dare to stay any longer!
"Let's just go for it!"
"I, Jinwu, have lived a life of unpredictable good and evil! My name has been uncertain! My dwelling place has been uncertain! I have done everything to the extreme! I have shed blood and sacrificed my life until today. With the righteous path in sight, how can I perish here!"
The bleeding from Jinwu Shangren had stopped. He controlled four paper soldiers in front of him, roared, and prepared to tear the enemy paper figure that had intercepted him to shreds.
Decades of perseverance and sixty years of magical power are now being unleashed without reservation.
With a tearing sound!
at last!
The blood-stained paper on the intercepted paper figure was torn.
Master Jinwu threw the torn paper figure away and glared at the other side. Even though he was at a disadvantage and his paper soldiers were not as powerful as the other side, his determination to tear apart and destroy the opponent's precious paper figure was evident!
The paper figure, its surface torn, fell to the ground.
Then--
He stood up again.
The paper figure trembled, and the torn outer blood-stained paper scattered, revealing another layer of blood-stained paper wrapped inside.
The paper figure, now standing up again, still wore that same abstract expression.
"this……?"
Master Jinwu froze, his eyes filled with disbelief as he turned his head.
Breaking the outer shell of the blood-stained paper breaks the paper doll magic, rendering it unable to function.
But what family would be so wasteful in performing origami rituals, wrapping one layer of blood-stained paper inside another, making it look like a paper figurine?
"Just how many people's lifespans have you ruined?!" Venerable Jinwu suddenly turned around, gritting his teeth.
Li Jieqing happened to approach and looked somewhat puzzled upon hearing this.
What's with this person shouting all that as soon as they land?
Li Jieqing shook his head, lamenting that the cultivation world truly turned people into ghosts.
Back in the day, this Venerable Jinwu... oh, it seems he wasn't exactly a good person either.
"Greetings, fellow Daoist. Please continue on your journey."
Li Jieqing raised his hand and waved it, and countless paper figures fell from above his head like raindrops.
The four paper soldiers were torn apart and scattered on the ground, and the mournful cries of the Golden Phoenix Master were drowned out by the paper figures.
……
……
"Immortal City believes that Fellow Daoist Wangyue made great contributions to the Seven True Ones during his lifetime by pioneering new lands and launching expeditions overseas. Now that he has unfortunately passed away, he has left behind only this spiritual land of Blood Bamboo Island, without any disciples or descendants, which is truly regrettable."
"So I, a native of the Snake Sea Village, have come here. I will temporarily take in and look after Blood Bamboo Island. One day, I will find a disciple for Fellow Daoist Wangyue to succeed me. This will be a good story of survival and continuation of the lineage."
Swimming in the Snake Sea, at the main island of the Fish Family.
Master Jinwu came from afar and spoke eloquently within the Yu family's territory, his words so overwhelming that the Yu family members could not lift their heads.
Despite their inner turmoil, no one in the Yu family could refute the decision of the Seven Immortal Cities.
Their plans to conquer Blood Bamboo Island had to be halted. They were too late; the Immortal City had already caught on and sent people to rightfully take over the spiritual land.
And it just so happens to be Jin Wu, a petty person who has gained power.
Heaven is truly blind, allowing such a petty person as Jin Wu to rise to prominence.
And then there's Old Man Wangyue, who insisted on dying in the Immortal City instead of in the Sea of Swimming Serpents, giving the Immortal City an excuse to die. Now he's been completely devoured by the Seven Immortals, who claim to be righteous, leaving nothing behind.
The elderly Yu Mingwu was so angry he could hardly breathe. After obediently seeing off Venerable Jinwu, he and the entire clan locked themselves in their room and cursed him.
Blood Bamboo Island.
As soon as Master Jinwu revealed the Seven Truths, the burgeoning treasure-hunting craze immediately dissipated, and the crowds thinned out once again.
Jinwu landed on the island, stood on the outer perimeter and looked around to see that there was still a lot of blood bamboo. He nodded in satisfaction and then left, preparing to go to his original eastern spiritual land to find his old friends and collect blood bamboo outside the island again to make spiritual charcoal and bamboo sap.
As for the formations and the Moon-Gazing Eels on the island, he subconsciously ignored them.
Also overlooked was Li Jieqing, who was also on the island.
