She regretted her arrogance and underestimation, not taking the Demonic Sect seriously. She hadn't expected the Demonic Sect to hide such experts here.
Now, regret was useless; she could only face this cruel reality.
At this moment, Zhang Xingzhu had completely changed, his strength soaring to the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage, just one step away from advancing to the Golden Core stage.
Such a speed of improvement was impossible under normal circumstances. If it weren't for the special rules here, he would likely have directly entered the Golden Core realm.
His face was covered with blood vessel patterns like earthworms, his eyes piercing, like a carving knife.
Just then, a loud noise suddenly came from a hundred miles away, and a special force and obscure aura erupted there.
Zhang Xingzhu's eyes shone brightly as he looked towards the place a hundred miles away, his spiritual sense extending directly.
Meanwhile, Liu Ruyan, who had released the exploding puppet, quickly fled, wearing a gray gauze veil to conceal her figure, disappearing without a trace.
This veil was refined for her by Li Chengfeng, with the 'Dust of Years' spell cast upon it, making it impossible for the old monster to sense Liu Ruyan's presence.
Liu Ruyan was incredulous at the power of this explosion, and she also had an impulse to investigate. However, she knew her strength was insufficient and could only watch from afar.
As for the old monster who had possessed Zhang Xingzhu, his gaze was drawn to this powerful force, and he yearned to devour everyone here to improve his cultivation.
However, the stronger he became, the more he attracted the attention of some mysterious forces.
Just as he was focused, Li Chengfeng directly used a tracking and lurking technique, imprinting his aura on the other party's body.
Zhang Xingzhu was completely unaware, and he rushed towards the source of the puppet explosion a hundred miles away, at an extremely fast speed.
After he left, Li Chengfeng directly waved his hand, and a Substitute Puppet appeared in front of him, lifelike and with the same aura as him, but its strength was only one-tenth of his.
This puppet nodded to Li Chengfeng, then picked up the spirit beast pouch, which contained the Treasure Seeking Mouse, and exited the space.
Li Chengfeng released the Treasure Seeking Mouse; he was going to find the real Nine Desires Celestial Blossom.
Only by finding the real Nine Desires Celestial Blossom could he resolve the current crisis.
Seeing this scene, Xu Huixin felt a surge of emotion in her heart.
No wonder she had never been able to find Li Chengfeng's trace; it turned out that his main body was hiding here, only sending a puppet named 'Substitute Ghost Lei' to carry out the mission.
This Substitute Puppet's aura was exactly the same as Li Chengfeng's, making it difficult to distinguish.
Li Chengfeng had lost several Substitute Puppets, but remained unmoved, with more than thirty Substitute Puppets still waiting for orders.
Even if all these puppets were sacrificed, he could re-cultivate them; to him, this was nothing insignificant.
After all, when he advances to the Foundation Establishment stage, he will need to refine Substitute Puppets again.
These puppets can still be effective before the Foundation Establishment stage, but after the Foundation Establishment stage, they can only become true 'substitutes for death'.
However, this Substitute Puppet can die in place of its master in times of life and death, and its mystery should not be underestimated.
Xu Huixin discovered that Li Chengfeng acted extremely cautiously, even with his strong strength, he still sent Substitute Puppets to charge ahead, while he himself strategized and responded calmly.
Such a person is indeed difficult to deal with.
Xu Huixin knew that in the face of such an opponent, she must remain calm and unhurried in order to find a way to defeat the enemy.
