Chapter 675: Lady Hongshao

Although these human puppets lack the consciousness and thoughts of normal people, they can still be used as cultivation cauldrons.

Ye Lin finally understood why the Joyous Union Sect is a major demonic sect.

Those cultivators who are captured and brought into the Joyous Union Sect, who are disobedient and possess only mediocre talent, are surely refined into such human puppets.

The scarlet sedan chair landed slowly, and a hand with distinct knuckles lifted the curtain, revealing a face heavily coated in white powder and rouge.

Although the person had rouge on their face and long hair, if Ye Lin was not mistaken, this Lady Hongshao before him was in all likelihood a man...

"Hee hee, the sun really is rising from the west today; to think someone actually dares to come to my Joyous Union Hall to kill?"

As soon as Lady Hongshao spoke, the voice was incredibly shrill, just like a duck with its windpipe pinched.

He looked at Ye Lin and the other two with a smiling expression, yet there was no warmth in that smile.

"Lady Hongshao, everything today was because this disciple was ignorant! I beg Lady Hongshao to punish me, but please do not make things difficult for these two!"

Shanshan stepped forward quickly, fell to her knees with a thud, and began to kowtow fiercely to Lady Hongshao.

"Shanshan, don't beg this dead transvestite; I will take you and fight our way out!"

A fierce glint appeared in Sang Yankai's eyes; for the first time, this honest man revealed his fangs.

"Yo yo yo, a hero risking it all for a beauty? Isn't this script a bit too cliché? Since that's the case, let me play the villain~"

Lady Hongshao curled the corners of his mouth, and the eight human puppet girls beside him immediately rushed toward Ye Lin and the others.

Sang Yankai wanted to use the Blood Refining Method to deal with the human puppets, but these eight human puppets could no longer be considered living people; at best, they were puppets with a very high degree of simulation.

Sang Yankai's Blood Refining Method had its effectiveness significantly reduced when facing these puppets.

Ye Lin started by condensing a Puppet Talisman and pressed it onto the center of one of the human puppet girls' brows, wanting to vie for control with Lady Hongshao.

However, at this moment, two transparent threads of emotion suddenly drifted out from the girl's eyes and landed on Ye Lin.

In an instant, the threads of emotion, which had only been two, began to multiply crazily after coming into contact with Ye Lin's flesh and blood.

In just a few blinks of an eye, Ye Lin was completely wrapped up by the threads of emotion!

"Ye Lin!"

Sang Yankai noticed the turn of events on Ye Lin's side and rushed over, wanting to save Ye Lin first.

But how could his movements be faster than those of Lady Hongshao, who was in the Profound Cave Realm?

Lady Hongshao chuckled, extended a finger, and pointed forward; a streak of pink immortal power shot straight toward Sang Yankai!

Sang Yankai's expression changed wildly, and he hurriedly condensed a blood shield to resist, but he was still knocked back repeatedly.

At this moment, two human puppet girls happened to be waiting for him on his path of retreat!

The two girls' fingernails were as sharp as knives and flashed with a green light, clearly containing terrifyingly potent poison.

It was too late to block now, but since Sang Yankai was a blood cultivator with high resistance to toxins, he chose to take the damage head-on.

Yet, the sensation of fingernails piercing flesh that he had imagined did not come; instead, Sang Yankai felt as if he had collided with something soft and warm.

Sang Yankai was stunned and turned his head in disbelief.

He was met with Shanshan's sunny, smiling face.

"Silly, remember what I said. If there is a next life, remember to find me after I've been reincarnated and marry me early... If there is no next life, then just forget it."

The palms of the two corpse puppet girls sank straight into Shanshan's heart, and the poison contained in their fingernails spread rapidly.

"No!!!"

Sang Yankai let out a roar of grief and indignation, his eyes instantly turning scarlet.

He grabbed the two corpse puppet girls, forcibly drained the blood from their bodies, and smashed them down with all his might.

The two corpse puppets were instantly smashed to pieces by Sang Yankai.

Sang Yankai hurriedly pulled Shanshan into his arms.

"Why are you so stupid? Shanshan, why are you so stupid!"

Sang Yankai's tears could not stop falling.

"You knew I was a female disciple of the Joyous Union Sect and you still liked me; who is the stupid one, really?"

Shanshan smiled, blood constantly overflowing from her mouth.

She wanted to lift her hand to wipe away Sang Yankai's tears, but the poison was spreading too fast, and she had already lost the strength to lift her arm.

"In the future... don't vomit on the side of the road anymore... no one... no one will hand you a handkerchief again, you fool..."

Shanshan's pupils gradually began to dilate, and her body went limp.

"Ah!!!!!"

Sang Yankai roared, as if only this could vent the grief and indignation in his heart.

That scarlet gaze startled even Lady Hongshao, yet a flash of obscure ecstasy crossed the depths of his eyes.

"Shanshan, wait for me; I will come to find you soon."

Sang Yankai revealed a simple, gentle smile; he slowly laid Shanshan's corpse flat, then stood up straight, staring at Lady Hongshao without a hint of fear.

"I will kill you, at any cost, regardless of the consequences."

Sang Yankai's voice was cold, and there was already a resolve to die in his eyes.

A more invincible existence than a "white moonlight" is a dead "white moonlight."

She will forever remain in your memory, standing there in her school uniform, her face never aging.

The only thing Sang Yankai regretted now.

Was not using human blood to cultivate sooner.

If he had used human blood to cultivate from the very beginning hundreds of years ago, he would definitely have had the ability to protect his beloved now.

"Burning Blood Art!"

Sang Yankai roared, blood-colored flames erupting from his body; his cultivation, which was at the early stage of the Primordial Origin Realm, began to break through continuously, only stopping when it reached the late stage of the Primordial Origin Realm.

Lady Hongshao just looked at Sang Yankai with a smile, having no intention of making a move.

Just as Sang Yankai was preparing to fight Lady Hongshao to the death, a dagger silently sank into him from behind.

Shanshan, who should have been dead, did not know when she had stood up, and that dagger was held firmly in her hand.

Her face was completely indifferent, a stark contrast to her previous sunny and cheerful image.

At the same time, a Soul-Trapping Talisman was slapped onto the center of Sang Yankai's brow.

Sang Yankai's eyes were filled with disbelief as he stared blankly at the woman who had just breathed her last in his arms a moment ago.

"Not bad, not bad! Too delicious!"

Lady Hongshao took a deep breath, his eyes filled with obsession as he looked at Sang Yankai.

"The despair and collapse of a deeply infatuated person after being betrayed is just too delicious! Whether used to feed the Rouge Blood Leeches or to refine Forget-River Water, you are the best material!"

Sang Yankai's complexion turned completely ashen; he stared blankly at Shanshan, asking like a drowning man on the verge of death desperately clutching at a final straw.

"Shanshan, did you approach me really just to use me as cultivation material?"

"So... from the very beginning, you never liked me, not even a little bit... not at all?"
