Chapter 554: Zhang Tieyang

Seeing this human-shaped spirit puppet appear, Song Qingming and Yun Xinghe, who were seeing this secret technique for the first time, both showed a trace of surprise in their eyes when they looked at Qingluo Zhenren.

Human-shaped spirit puppets are also a kind of puppet technique. It's just because this kind of puppet made with special secret techniques is very close to a real person, the cultivation world then separated it alone to form a new category.

Qingluo Zhenren's human-shaped spirit puppet is lifelike. Except for the cultivation base of only the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, the whole person looks almost the same as himself, which can be seen as a very rare object.

Jin Ziyuan on the side saw the curiosity of Song Qingming and the two, and hurriedly explained: "Qingluo Daoyou's spirit puppet refining method is a very rare secret technique in our Fuyun Mountain Range cultivation world. Don't look at this human-shaped spirit puppet's low cultivation base, it is much more useful than ordinary puppet beasts when controlled."

Hearing Jin Ziyuan's praise, Qingluo Zhenren immediately waved his hand with a smile: "It's just a small trick, not worth mentioning. Jin Daoyou's words are a bit exaggerated. Although the secret technique of refining spirit puppets is hard to find, it is not a very rare thing.

If several fellow daoists are interested, after going out from the tower, I can also give each of you a Qi Refining spirit puppet. Although it won't have much use, it is very good to put it in the cave dwelling to serve tea and water and handle some chores."

Hearing Qingluo Zhenren say this, Song Qingming and the others were also interested and arched their hands to thank him.

While the few were talking, the human-shaped spirit puppet controlled by Qingluo Zhenren had also approached the middle of the stone room step by step.

Unexpectedly, just when this human-shaped spirit puppet approached within a distance of more than a foot from those stone statue puppets, a vibration sound suddenly sounded under his feet, and the dozens of stone statues that were originally lifeless suddenly began to emit golden spiritual light.

Immediately afterward, these stone statues seemed to come alive, and began to move slowly. Before long, the two stone statue puppet beasts closest to the human-shaped spirit puppet suddenly jumped into the air and pounced toward the human-shaped spirit puppet not far in front.

Sure enough, as everyone expected, these stone statues surrounding the teleportation array were all ancient puppet beasts controlled by the formation restrictions here. Once someone approached and triggered the restriction, they would be automatically activated to attack the cultivators who broke into the stone room.

The flexible body method of this human-shaped spirit puppet, just like a real person, is indeed not comparable to those ordinary puppet beasts that are relatively clumsy. Seeing the response of Qingluo Zhenren's human-shaped spirit puppet when facing danger, Song Qingming's eyes also showed a trace of surprise.

Just when everyone was fighting fiercely here, the spiritual sense released by Song Qingming suddenly felt a different magic power pressure in the stone room. After solving a stone statue puppet beast in front of him, Song Qingming turned to look at a position not far from the teleportation array and shouted loudly:

The stone statue puppet beast was still in mid-air, and a white light ball with not bad power had already been spat out of its mouth, which directly smashed onto the silver shield in the hand of the human-shaped spirit puppet, directly knocking it back several feet.

Seeing this, the human-shaped spirit puppet didn't choose to fight hard with these stone statue puppet beasts. After rolling back to avoid several follow-up attacks, it directly retreated to Qingluo Zhenren's side with a set of somewhat strange body methods.

Under the joint efforts of five Jin Dan cultivators, these puppet beasts couldn't pose any threat to them at all. However, in just a cup of tea, Song Qingming and the others easily solved half of the stone statue puppet beasts, and intentionally protected the teleportation array in the distance during the battle, not letting that teleportation array suffer any damage.

"Lead these puppet beasts over a bit before doing it. Everyone pay attention not to break the teleportation array in the middle, otherwise it will be a bit troublesome to repair it later."

After Zhao Menglian gave instructions to the crowd, she took the lead to take out a blue short sword and directly slashed a sword light, slashing toward a wolf-shaped stone statue that was about to pounce in front of her.

However, facing Song Qingming's five Jin Dan cultivators with not weak strength, these baring fangs and brandishing claws stone statue puppet beasts were not so scary.

In the stone room, colorful magic treasures flew around for a while, and various "bang bang bang" earth-shattering sounds rang out, and gravel flew everywhere from time to time, hitting the walls and ground of the stone room.

Song Qingming and the others also took out their respective magic treasures one after another and began to clean up the many stone statue puppet beasts of different shapes and shapes that were attacking them crazily.

Although these stone statues only have the cultivation base of the Foundation Establishment stage, there are dozens of them, and many of them have reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment. If an ordinary Jin Dan cultivator encounters them alone, it will indeed be very troublesome to deal with.

"Who is hiding here sneakily, come out actively!"

Hearing Song Qingming shout suddenly, Zhao Menglian also immediately noticed something wrong, waved her hand and directly threw a sharp light blade toward an open space beside the teleportation array.

"Fellow Daoists, stop! Don't misunderstand, I'll come out."

As a somewhat trembling voice sounded, a somewhat fat figure suddenly appeared in the open space of the teleportation array, avoiding Zhao Menglian's attack.

Seeing another person suddenly appear, Jin Ziyuan and the three who were still fighting with the stone statue puppet beasts were also startled, and abandoned the remaining opponents one after another, directly leaning toward Song Qingming and Zhao Menglian.

"Who are you, why are you hiding here and spying on us!"

"Zhao Daoyou misunderstood. I am Zhang Tieyang, a rogue cultivator from Muyang Mountain. Actually, I also broke into the hall by mistake and arrived here one step ahead of you. Unexpectedly, I suddenly heard movement outside, and thought I had encountered those Demon Kings, so I had to hide my figure. I didn't mean to spy on you, Zhao Daoyou."

The person who spoke was a young man who was not tall and somewhat fat. This person is also a Jin Dan cultivator, and it seems that he should have known Zhao Menglian before. As soon as he opened his mouth, he called out her surname.

Hearing Zhang Tieyang say this, Song Qingming and Zhao Fenglian suddenly realized why there was a pile of gravel from the stone statue puppet beasts on the corridor outside just now. Eight out of ten should be the masterpiece of this Zhang Tieyang who arrived here one step ahead of them.

Thinking of this, Zhao Menglian asked again: "You are just a rogue cultivator, then why do you know me, but I have no impression of you at all."

Zhang Tieyang heard this and immediately explained somewhat nervously: "Zhao Daoyou, you don't know. Back then, before I formed the Jin Dan, I also participated in the Great War between the Lu State and the Tianhai Alliance. It was at that time that I was fortunate enough to see Zhao Daoyou.

However, because my cultivation base was low at the time, I didn't have the chance to act with Zhao Daoyou alone, so the Daoyou had no impression of me because of this."

Hearing the other party say this, Zhao Menglian seemed to still not quite believe it, and was about to continue to ask, but on the side, two more stone statue puppet beasts rushed toward her, interrupting her questioning.

"Zhao Daoyou, be careful, I will help you defeat the enemy!" Zhang Tieyang, who was still thinking about how to gain the trust of Zhao Menglian and others, saw such a good opportunity, immediately shouted and took out his magic treasure and rushed over, intercepting a stone statue puppet beast that was entangled with Zhao Menglian.

Zhang Tieyang's cultivation base is not high, only at the second layer of Jin Dan, but he is very hardworking when he moves, and he solved a stone statue puppet beast in two or three efforts, and then killed the remaining puppet beasts with a fierce look.

Seeing that the other party really wanted to help, Zhao Menglian didn't say anything more. Anyway, the most important thing at the moment is to defeat these stone statue puppet beasts that are attacking them desperately as soon as possible. Others can wait until this matter is solved.

After another half a cup of tea, as the last stone statue puppet beast was knocked off its head by Yun Xinghe's hammer, all the puppet beasts in the stone room finally turned into a pile of gravel, and the crowd immediately stopped to take a breath.

Because that Zhang Tieyang contributed a lot in the later battles, everyone's impression of him improved a bit. After some questioning, Zhao Menglian and others quickly confirmed his identity. This person is indeed a Jin Dan rogue cultivator from the Lu State, and he formed the Jin Dan successfully at about the same time as Song Qingming before the demon beast chaos.

The two formed the Jin Dan at about the same time, and participated in the Great War with the Tianhai Alliance together. After Song Qingming chatted with him for a few words, he also remembered that he seemed to have seen this person on the battlefield back then.

"Zhang Daoyou, may I ask how you found this place?"

Hearing Zhao Menglian's inquiry, Zhang Tieyang said somewhat embarrassedly: "I didn't come to break into the Heaven-Reaching Tower alone this time. It's just that I was separated from that fellow daoist after entering. I originally wanted to search for the other party nearby, but unexpectedly found this palace by accident.

I thought there would be any opportunities inside, so I broke in directly. Unexpectedly, there was nothing in this place except those broken stone puppet beasts, and later I met you fellow daoists and was blocked in here!"

"Oh! So it is. Since the Daoyou also has a friend accompanying him, I am afraid that the other party should also be looking for the Daoyou everywhere. We still have to go to other places to look for treasure, so we won't delay you, let's say goodbye here!"

Just after Zhao Menglian finished speaking, Zhang Tieyang's face changed slightly, and he arched his hands at the few people again: "I have also searched nearby for a long time just now, and I haven't seen the other party. I am afraid that he should not be nearby. I came in a hurry this time and didn't prepare a telepathic talisman. It is estimated that it will be very difficult to find him again.

Since I met you fellow daoists here by fate, I wonder if you fellow daoists can make it convenient and take me with you. Fellow daoists, don't worry, if I find any good things next, I will take a little less, just ask to be able to go out safely."

Hearing Zhang Tieyang's request, Zhao Menglian and others looked at each other, and a trace of surprise appeared on their faces.
