Ge Hongshan’s expression darkened as he revealed the true nature of this evil being.
However, the three Elders present all wore puzzled looks, clearly unfamiliar with the so-called Flesh Bone Spirit Puppet.
Seeing their confusion, Ge Hongshan took a deep breath and said solemnly,
“The Flesh Bone Spirit Puppet is an evil creature that roamed in Ancient Times and was thought to have been extinct.”
“Though physically weak, they possess the bizarre trick of harming living beings within dreams.”
“Ordinary techniques cannot stop it.”
As he spoke, Ge Hongshan turned to Qi Rui.
“Now, there is only one last method left. Elder Qi, you must personally enter the dream and project your soul into your disciple’s dreamscape to confront the Flesh Bone Spirit Puppet directly.”
“However, this technique is somewhat dangerous because you will be entering your disciple’s dreamscape, so your soul projection will have at most Core Formation level.”
“If Core Formation level is not enough to overcome the Flesh Bone Spirit Puppet, then Elder Qi, you might not be able to save your disciple and could instead suffer soul damage.”
Ge Hongshan quickly explained the situation, informing the deeply concerned Elder Qi Rui.
He indeed did not know how to deal with this ancient evil creature.
If it were he who was cursed, Ge Hongshan was confident he could fend off the foe in the dreamscape.
After all, such evil beings are mostly very weak and can only harm lower-level cultivators or ordinary humans with unstable spirits.
Now, Elder Qi’s dear disciple had somehow provoked this long-extinct ancient evil. Out of caution, Ge Hongshan was already preparing to withdraw.
This ancient evil was incredibly bizarre, completely unlike ordinary demons or ghosts. It was best to stay as far away as possible and avoid any involvement.
After Ge Hongshan had spoken, the other two Elders also remained silent.
All three looked towards Qi Rui, waiting for this deeply concerned female Elder to decide.
On the bed, the female disciple named Qin Haie screamed incessantly.
Her right shoulder, left foot, wrist… flesh was continuously torn from her, blood splashing all over the bed.
The sight of flesh being ripped away alive was unspeakably bloody and gruesome.
In the dreamscape, Qin Haie cried desperately, shouting around her,
“Master! Save me! I don’t want to die! I really don’t want to die!”
The woman cried heart-wrenchingly. Gone was any semblance of the proud arrogance of a demon cultivator genius.
Now, crying with tears and snot all over her face, she looked both ugly and dirty.
The silent Elder Qi Rui watched her bedridden disciple continue to wail pitifully and miserably, listening to her distraught cries from within her fitful sleep.
Finally, she sighed deeply.
“My dear disciple, your master will help you.”
Having said that, Qi Rui gestured with her hand and the bed, which had stood in the main hall, floated out directly and landed in the courtyard.
This small courtyard, originally exclusive to Qin Haie and gifted by her teacher Elder Qi, now resounded with Elder Qi’s indifferent voice.
“Cai Er, Mo Huan, see your junior sister off for me.”
“She’s screaming so miserably, crying so unbearably—let her suffer no more.”
Upon Elder Qi’s command, the two female disciples waiting outside the courtyard immediately bowed to obey.
“Yes!”
The next second, there was a flash of a sword and blood sprayed.
The piercing cries in the courtyard stopped instantly, and the woman on the bed let her arms fall limply, her blood silently dripping from the edge of the bed.
In the now silent main hall, Elder Qi looked at the other three Elders and smiled,
“Thank you all for your concern tonight.”
“Please join me in the front hall, where a banquet is prepared to thank you for your help.”
Elder Qi Rui, who had just lost her beloved disciple, yet wore a smile with no trace of sorrow.
It was as if what died was just an insignificant dog.
The other three Elders also laughed heartily, finding nothing strange.
“Good! I have long coveted the vintage Swaying River Spring wine that Sister Qi keeps…”
“Hahaha… tonight is perfect for a drink!”
The four Elders laughed as they departed, looking joyous and harmonious.
After the four Elders had left, a maid quickly came to clean the bloodstains remaining on the floor.
The stiff corpse that lay motionless on the bed was also swiftly carried away.
Qin Haie’s family background was quite decent, so this corpse could indeed be intact sent out of the Refinement Demon Sect and was most likely to be taken back to her hometown for burial.
But at this moment, nobody in the Refinement Demon Sect cared about this matter anymore.
After all, a uniquely talented genius demon cultivator girl had vanished at this moment, losing all her value.
…
In the dimly lit tile-roofed house, Li Muyang opened his eyes.
A hint of surprise flashed through his eyes.
“How did she suddenly die…”
Confused, he closed his eyes and once again brought up the system interface.
Indeed, he had not been mistaken, Meat Bone Cyan Robe had successfully killed Qin Haie.
At this moment on the system interface, the bubble for Meat Bone Cyan Robe was completely hidden.
It will only emerge if Li Muyang touches it with his thoughts.
In the dark bubble, the chibi version of Meat Bone Cyan Robe floated motionlessly.
But in its hands, it held a crying little doll.
That seemed to be a woman’s soul.
The chibi Meat Bone Cyan Robe clutched the little doll, nibbling on it bit by bit.
Only the chibi version’s mouth was too small, so it would probably take a long time to finish nibbling.
Li Muyang shook his head and exited the system interface.
“This Meat Bone Cyan Robe isn’t consuming Qin Haie’s soul, is it…”
Although it was a chibi style and looked quite cute.
But the thought of it consuming a living person’s soul made Li Muyang’s scalp tingle.
Mainly because he had been killed by this thing in the game hundreds of times, and he still had a psychological shadow from it.
And the first time using Meat Bone Cyan Robe to kill someone in reality, Li Muyang found it to be more useful than he imagined.
It could be completely autonomous, letting Meat Bone Cyan Robe kill the enemy as a usual witchcraft.
He could also manually operate it, physically entering the dreamscape to pursue the target.
Indeed, a Core Formation expert was formidable; in the dreamscape, Qin Haie kept running away, continuously breaking free from Meat Bone Cyan Robe’s pursuit.
Even with Li Muyang himself taking action, it was quite troublesome.
Li Muyang estimated that using Meat Bone Cyan Robe to kill a Core Formation expert was probably its limit.
If he were to go after a seventh-grade… even if he entered the dreamscape, he probably couldn’t catch up to the opponent.
And there was no need to consider anyone above seventh-grade.
“It looks like I still have to rely on myself,”
Li Muyang muttered to himself softly as he looked at his adoptive younger sister sleeping soundly on the bed, he sighed.
With Qin Haie dead, this matter also came to an end.
Next, Li Muyang could focus on playing games while using Spirit Rice to concoct medicine to save his adoptive sister.
The day Li Yuechan completely dispels the Demonic Qi, Li Muyang would be able to eat the high-quality Spirit Rice rice and increase his cultivation.
He was now at the sixth level of Qi Refinement stage, getting ever closer to Foundation Establishment— who could have imagined that just a month ago, Li Muyang was only a second-tier Qi Refinement newbie?
Indeed, cheating brings temporary pleasure, but continuous cheating brings continuous pleasure.
Having successfully killed his enemy, Li Muyang felt a weight lifted from his heart, he let out a long breath and felt refreshed.
He closed his eyes and fell into a genuine sleep.
