Chapter 221: Divine Puppet (3)
Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Divine Puppet (3)
Ning Jianli and Jing Lu froze as cold sweat running down their temples.
Even though they were praised as fearless and heroic Heavenly Sword Sect disciples, but when facing against absolute power….power that could only mean death stripped them of every ounce of courage.
Not a single thought of resistance or victory crossed their minds against this… monster.
The nearby disciples also stiffened, standing perfectly still, as if even the slightest movement might provoke the menacing cloaked figure emerging from their Senior Brother’s cave.
Ye Shuang stood protectively in front of Ling Lin, who trembled with tears in her eyes as both staring warily at the towering figure that had just stepped out.
The air grew thick and oppressive, making every breath a struggle.
Just as the tension reached its peak, a casual voice cut through the heaviness.
“Ah! Good mornin—”
Li Feng casually walk out from the cave as he smiled.
But then he paused, blinking as he looked at the pale, sweating female disciples.
They looked like startled, helpless prey about to be slaughtered.
’Hmmm? What happened? Did something happened?’
Just as he was wondering about it.
Then he finally noticed the problem and patted Goldie beside him.
“Goldie, these are my… juniors. Don’t release your aura on them.”
Goldie’s eyes flickered slightly at Li Feng’s words, realizing these were his master’s women.
It understood how much its master seemingly enjoyed “playing” with them, so in a sense, they were all need to be protected.
“…”
Goldie silently retracted its aura until not a trace remained.
The others finally let out a collective sigh of relief, looking a bit dumbfounded at the sudden scene.
Ning Jianli, who was closer and calmer than the others, finally spoke, though her voice trembled slightly.
“S-Senior Brother… is he someone with you?”
She couldn’t help but gulp, still somewhat apprehensive at the sight of the tall, cloaked figure.
The aura it had just released was terrifying enough to remind her of the first time she had witnessed an Elder in battle.
The overwhelming power of that moment had made her feel like a small ant, easily erased… and facing this cloaked figure brought back that same sense of helplessness.
Li Feng scratched his cheek and smiled apologetically.
“Yes, sorry about that.”
He patted Goldie and introduced it.
“This is Goldie, my reliable puppet.”
With a smile, he continued, “Goldie will help search for my Senior Sister. And if any of you encounter problems, you can also ask it for help too.”
The female disciples blinked, still a little stunned.
Even with Goldie’s aura fully retracted, its sheer size and presence were enough to keep them wary.
Ning Jianli was the first to shake off her daze, her eyes widening in shock.
“That is a … puppet?” she murmured in disbelief
Not just her, almost everyone present looked equally incredulous.
They had never seen or even heard of such an exaggerated puppet in their lives.
To be honest, when it came to puppets, they had always imagined small helpers meant for daily chores or simple assistance tasks.
Like tending spiritual gardens or helping take care of miscellaneous things inside some abandoned storage rooms.
…Not like this scary one.
It wasn’t their fault that they think this way as puppet masters were rare.
Not only because mastering the path was difficult, but also because it required an insane amount of resources to create a powerful puppet.
And even when all that effort and resource was invested, the resulting puppet’s strength usually fell far short of a cultivator who had used the same resources.
Li Feng nodded.
“Yes,” he said. “This is a puppet. And…”
A smile curved across his face as more cloaked figures slowly emerged from the cave, falling into a neat line behind him.
He spread his arms wide, as if presenting a surprise.
“These are all also my puppets as well.”
Looking at the ten white-cloaked figures, along with the single menacing, imposing one standing right behind Li Feng…
Each of them carried an aura that made them feel dangerous.
Ning Jianli and the others blinked, completely dumbfounded.
….Some of them even wondered how such a small cave could possibly hold so many.
Meanwhile,
Ning Jianli and Jing Lu, who stood closest, couldn’t help but feel a pang of awe at the gap in talent.
Before this, even though Ye Shuang had told them that Li Feng was also an alchemist, they still couldn’t truly believe he was a puppet master…..it was just too incredible to accept without seeing it with their own eyes.
And now…
Li Feng had genuinely created his own puppet.
Not just one, but a whole group of them and all of them seemed extraordinary.
He had proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that he was not all talk and truly have a talent of a puppet master.
Now,
Not only was he powerful in cultivation, it seemed he was also extremely talented, able to master so many paths.
And yet…
There was not even a hint of jealousy from them as the difference was simply too vast.
So vast that comparison itself felt meaningless.
If it were someone slightly stronger, perhaps they might feel competitive.
If it were someone twice as talented, maybe envy would rise.
But Li Feng…?
He was the kind of existence that made such emotions laughable.
You didn’t compete with a monster.
You simply prayed he was on your side.
And fortunately—
He was their senior brother.
Ning Jianli slowly exhaled, the tension in her shoulders finally easing, and she smiled.
’Well, there’s no use questioning it. We should be glad he’s here, helping us.’
She couldn’t help but feel lucky to have such a reliable and powerful fellow righteous senior brother inside this secret realm…..especially now, with monsters from demonic cultivators lurking here as well.
“Senior Brother… you really scared us,” Jing Lu muttered, pressing a hand to her chest.
“For a second, I thought some demonic expert had broken out of your cave.”
Li Feng cleared his throat awkwardly.
“Ahem… sorry about that.”
Jing Lu’s eyes gleamed as she suddenly reached for Li Feng’s arm.
“Hehe~ if you’re sorry about it, Senior Brother, then…”
She leaned in close and whispered, “…how about you dual cultivate with me?”
