The General's Genius Daughter Chapter 188 - Crucial Moments!

Chapter 188 Crucial Moments!“Refining a Soul Puppet… well, I’ve read the refining manual too. It’s indeed some complicated skill. It usually takes a few decades to refine one, and people often fail in the end. Now, if the Venerated Supreme Devil succeeded, I’m afraid he’s learned from a master who had done it.”

Tianpi retracted his idle face and replied sternly.

“Yes, Gnawing Devils Sect is a real evil sect. They’ve been lying low all these years, but at the same time, the orthodox sects couldn’t defeat them back then. So, in the past years, we haven’t get into any trouble. But now, the Venerated Supreme Devil is about to come out of his practice. Hua Qiyue frowned because he would be a difficult character to handle.

Tianpi felt tender for her in his heart. If he could leave here, he could help Hua Qiyue and save her a lot of trouble. She wouldn’t have been so frustrated like now.

Collecting himself, Tianpi also felt hopeless for him being concerned about Hua Qiyue. As a great devil, he actually fell for another woman…

“The manual said that if the owner of the Soul Puppet dies, others can infuse his blood with the puppet’s, insert spiritual energy, and chant a spell to make the puppet his own.”

Tianpi said flatly. After another while of thinking, he carefully wrote down those methods on a copper chip and handed it to Hua Qiyue.

Tianpi wrote them with his fingers and every character was struck on the copper chip with his inner energy.

Glancing at the chip, Hua Qiyue felt delighted and thanked Tianpi. Then, she took a few Ginsengs with Nine Souls and left after fully recovering her anima energy.

Still bathing in the pool, Tianpi’s eyes fell. Now, he was here and couldn’t accompany her to wherever she went…

Nevertheless, what he cared about was not that, instead, he wanted a way out, a way out of here quickly.

—

Exiting the Mysterious World, Hua Qiyue slowly opened her eyes.

However, she didn’t expect that the moment she opened them, her eyes met with the pair of profound and black eyes of Yun Shimo, who was standing not far away from here. She was dazed for a second and quickly looked away.

The hare let out a “gee” because it found her strange. It fixed its eyes on Hua Qiyue, who stood up and headed to the Ruin Universe Tactical Deployment array.

“Sister Qiyue, are you okay?”

Ji Jing hurriedly followed her, while Ji Feng and others also surrounded her. However, Hua Qiyue shook her head. “I’m fine. I’ve found the way to train them.”

“No way. Sister Qiyue knows how to do that?” Ji Jing widened her eyes and looked at Hua Qiyue in amazement.

Hua Qiyue nodded and calmly strode to the row of Soul Puppets, while others were so worried that Hua Qiyue was forcing herself.

Yun Shimo readily caught up with her, while the hare couldn’t help but murmur. “Strange… Qiyue hasn’t left here… but how did she suddenly know how to train those puppets?”

The hare knew that 10,000 years ago, a top-notch Qi Artist invented a set of puppet rules and then successfully refined a Soul Puppet.

However, no ordinary people knew how to refine them. Therefore, someone must have taught her how to do it.

“Are you suspecting she’s in touch with that man? But she was just sitting there.” Yun Shimo found it hard to explain.

“Yes, she was sitting right there… but maybe she has a unique way to talk to Tianpi through souls. That way, two people who aren’t together can talk to each other through souls. But… as a Qi Artist at this level, Hua Qiyue can’t have owned that kind of skill…” The hare couldn’t quite figure it out.

Yun Shimo fell silent because there were so many mysteries about Hua Qiyue. However, since he also had secrets, he didn’t try to probe into Hua Qiyue’s.

Hua Qiyue walked to the front of the array and conjured a few palm prints to disable the Ruin Universe Tactical Deployment array.

The 10 Soul Puppets were still standing there, their eyes out of focus and motionlessly.

Hua Qiyue fished out the knife she carried with her and put a drop of every puppet’s blood onto her palm.

Soul Puppets’ blood was plum. After taking blood from all the 10 puppets, Hua Qiyue gently cut her finger and left a scar on her hand.

Everyone stared at the scene nervously.

At some point, Yun Shimo squeezed his way to Hua Qiyue because once something happened, he could protect her at the first time…

Hua Qiyue inserted a trace of spiritual energy into the pool of plum blood, which was infused with her blood and then murmured. “Three souls and six spirits, the spirit of Soul Puppet, come out, and so will mine…”

Pow—

Hua Qiyue felt a rush of heat on her palm, and astoundingly, she found the blood was boiling.

The audience watched the sight and found it both mysterious and weird.

What surprised them all was that Hua Qiyue had figured out such an advanced method to train the Soul Puppets.

“Soul-connecting!” One of the older Sect Leaders who ran Green Mountain Sect exclaimed out loud.

The hare glanced at the old Sect Leader, astonished to find that someone also recognized that skill.

Then, the pool of blood on Hua Qiyue’s palm shrank smaller and smaller to a drop of concentrated purple blood, shimmering with strange lights in the sunshine.

Then, the purple concentrated blood gradually seeped into Hua Qiyue’s palm and vanished.

Swoosh—

The 10 Soul Puppets neatly turned to look at Hua Qiyue and twisted to face her. They bowed and shouted in unison. “Greetings to the master!”

She succeeded!

Hua Qiyue was elated. “Tianpi knows so many stuffs. When he was called a devil, he really lived up to his reputation.”

Without a vast amount of knowledge, how could he viciously kill people and earn him the t.i.tle of a devil?

However, someone he didn’t know trapped him in the green jade gourd. Now… he had wholly lost his evil aura, and he could no longer strike people as a demon at all.

“Very nice. Let’s get back to the capital!” Suppressing her elation, Hua Qiyue became worried because, at the next second, it occurred to her that the Venerated Supreme Devil was about to come out.

Yun Shimo knitted his brows. “Qiyue, are you OK?”

Hua Qiyue shook her head and looked indifferent.

They glanced at the bodies in pieces and sighed secretly. At the first place, they thought there would be many causalities in the battle. However, no one fell in their alliance, and instead, Chou Tianhen and his followers were completely eliminated.

Hua Qiyue was really capable!

She not only owned divine herbs but so many secret weapons, leaving everyone to exclaim in the heart that they chose the right side this time.

“Your Highness really knows your booze! So powerful that even I have to salute to you!” A woman around her fifties stepped out and said smilingly. She was the Sect Leader of Virtue Sect, Zhen Ruyi, who was also an archenemy of the Heaven Sect.

Seeing Hua Qiyue easily defeated Sect Leader Hong, Zhen Ruyi suddenly found Hua Qiyue so pleasing to her eye.

Now that Hua Qiyue had performed at her best, Zhen Ruyi even appreciated the former more.

Hua Qiyue respected Zhen Ruyi as well so she smiled back. “Thank Sect Leader Zhen! I’m so young that I’m not nearly as capable as you.”

Zhen Ruyi chuckled. “I have to befriend you!”

The audience immediately stared at her in contempt. Now that Hua Qiyue had shown her ability, was it too late for her to suck up to Hua Qiyue?

“Alright, everyone. We should return to the capital for a rest. And in about seven days, the Venerated Supreme Devil will come out of his practice.” “In time, we’ll be facing a stronger enemy.” Yun Shimo’s face was sullen. How could he still be in a good mood since Hua Qiyue had ignored her twice in a row?

Everyone nodded unanimously and took the same route back.

Hua Qiyue hopped on the horse and following behind her were 10 Soul Puppets. Though shattered, their clothes could still covered their important parts.

Nevertheless, if she brought 10 Soul Puppets to the capital without any prior notice, she might stir panic and doubt among people. Therefore, Hua Qiyue decided to leave them outside the city.

Anyway, they were tough and no ordinary Qi Artist could touch them.

Hua Qiyue didn’t worry at all.

After pa.s.sing a cliff near her, Hua Qiyue paused.

In the opposite stood a forest, which also led to the capital. If there should be a bridge, they could have saved six hours on the road.

However, no bridge was in sight so everyone had to climb down that steep slope.

“Can these Soul Puppets fly across the valley?” Hua Qiyue murmured to herself.

Ji Feng laughed. “Qiyue, indeed, time matters now, but don’t take any risks.”

“Not necessarily. Maybe the puppets can fly. We’re at the medium level of Moon Eclipse and still can’t fly, but the puppets are 10 times stronger than us.” Yun Shimo said flatly.

Hua Qiyue nodded. “Let’s try one first.”

“You, fly there and wait for me in the forest!” Then, Hua Qiyue pointed to one of the Soul Puppets.

Under the order, a male puppet stood on tiptoe and sprang to fly to the opposite side.

To her surprise, the puppet made it to the other side and Hua Qiyue was startled pleasantly. “I’ll ride on a puppet. When I arrive, I’ll have them send you over.”

Everyone looked awkward. Being a healthy person, how embarra.s.sing it was for them to be carried over by a puppet!

“Swallow your pride, everyone. We don’t have much time left and even six hours matter!” Ouyang Youche said blandly.

At the thought of the Venerated Supreme Devil in the practice, everyone couldn’t help but shiver and had to nod in agreement.

“Let me get there first. If it turns out to be dangerous, none of you will lose anything.” Hua Qiyue added blankly.

“No. Let me try.” Unexpectedly, Yun Shimo became a little nervous.

It was more than 10 meters away from the cliff to the opposite forest. If she slipped and fell, she would end up in the bottomless abyss.

“Your Highness shouldn’t worry about me. The puppet will protect me, and I’ll be okay.” Hua Qiyue said indifferently. The puppet she selected was nearly at the medium level of Round Sun. Why should she worry? Even if she fell, the Soul Puppet would catch her.

After coldly refusing him, she ordered a female puppet to stand straight and then she clung to the puppet’s neck with both hands.

Anyway, these puppets were either alive or dead and thus didn’t need breathing or air.

The female puppet stood on her tiptoes and drifted forward.

Looking down, Hua Qiyue could see nothing but blackness of the abyss. It turned out the valley was deep and she even fl.u.s.tered at the sight of it.

However, when she was about to draw back her eyes, Hua Qiyue suddenly saw two red light spots in the dark abyss!

“Hiss…”

Two cold voices that gave her gooseb.u.mps sounded! A gale blew from the deep abyss and carried an unbearable stench!

The gale was so forceful that it dragged Hua Qiyue and the female puppet down into the abyss in an instant!

“d.a.m.n!” Hua Qiyue shrilled and cursed, but she was already falling with the gale!
