Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 46: After the War!
Miao Yin City small courtyard.
Lu Qingfeng and his two siblings gathered in a room.
Among them, Lu Qingfeng had a contemplative expression, Lu Qingshan's face still carried excitement, while Lu Qingyu's face was filled with heartache!
"Big brother, No.1's arm is broken!"
Lu Qingyu tilted her head up, her small face wrinkled into a frown.
Over the past half year, Lu Qingyu had been living comfortably in Miao Yin City. With a sufficient nutritional intake, her body gradually developed and was no longer thin and dark as it was in Black Wood Village. Flesh grew on her face and body, and her skin gradually regained its fairness.
She was developing into a radiant young lady.
Indeed, it made sense.
Both Lu Qingfeng and Lu Qingshan were handsome, and as their younger sister, Lu Qingyu was certainly no less in appearance.
Seeing her frown, Lu Qingfeng gently rubbed the fringe on Lu Qingyu's forehead, saying affectionately, "Wait until the heat dies down in a couple of days, and big brother will fix No.1 for you."
No.1 was the second puppet Lu Qingfeng refined in reality. Since it was refined by Lu Qingyu, it was named 'Qingyu No.1'.
Over the past half-year, even though they collected materials through the Green Jade Sect, the quantity of materials required to refine a puppet was so immense that collection was exceedingly slow.
As a result, Lu Qingfeng only managed to refine three puppets in six months.
The other two were refined and controlled by Lu Qingfeng and Lu Qingshan respectively.
Earlier in the battle outside the city, the three siblings had summoned 'Qingfeng No.1', 'Qingshan No.1', and 'Qingyu No.1' from deep within Qingzhang Mountain, setting up an ambush around the city gates.
The Returning to Truth Sect's subsequent plan against the three siblings was not beyond Lu Qingfeng's expectations.
They first took the initiative to cut off the siblings' sources of income. Then, they deliberately transferred Zhang Chong to Miao Yin City to provoke Lu Qingshan, and even had Zhang Chong leave the city overnight!
These actions were intended to lure out either Lu Qingshan or the three siblings.
Or perhaps to draw out the person supporting them!
Given this, Lu Qingfeng did as they wished, directly deploying Destroying Truth Type 1. Having spent 50 to 60 years in the game, Lu Qingfeng had already mastered the refining of Destroying Truth Type 1 to the top level.
Refining a Destroying Truth Type 1 didn't even take five days now, and the material costs had progressed from needing three sets of materials to refine one, to just slightly more than one set.
Then.
Lu Qingfeng began to refine in reality.
First, he took over a blacksmith shop and spent a month using up all the materials collected through the Green Jade Sect over the past half-year, refining three Destroying Truth Type 1. Subsequently, he refined several sets of talismans.
Each of the three siblings got a set, which included the Xuan Tie Flying Sky Shield, Stepping Cloud Boots, Invisible Needle, and Golden Centipede Mother-Child Blade. All of these were Second Rank Talismans, and the materials were relatively common.
Besides, he also refined a matching set of Second Rank Talisman Sun-shattering Bow for the three puppets.
The power of these talismans, strengthened by Lu Qingfeng, although Second Rank, nearly matched that of Fourth Rank Talismans.
Tonight.
The Sun-shattering Bow demonstrated its formidable power, killing dozens of disciples from the Returning to Truth Sect!
The only one equipped with the Invisible Needle and Golden Centipede Mother-Child Blade, 'Qingshan No.1', even managed to kill a Hall Master of the Returning to Truth Sect in close combat!
It was immensely satisfying!
"Did you see clearly who it was?" After Lu Qingfeng promised to fix 'Qingyu No.1', he asked.
"It was an ugly man!"
Lu Qingyu recalled, her face showing disgust, "His face was all covered with green hair, utterly disgusting. He emerged from the ground, and No.1 was unprepared, which allowed him to break its arm. Luckily, I reacted quickly and told No.1 to pick up its arm and escape!"
"An ugly man, green hair."
Lu Qingfeng pondered the various experts of the Returning to Truth Sect he had learned about recently, but he had no impression of this person.
According to Qingyu's description, this man's strength was even above Zhao Zhou, likely a hidden expert of the Returning to Truth Sect that they had dispatched to ensure foolproof success.
But they never expected that so many disciples would still be killed, and even Zhao Zhou died outside the city.
"Stay inside for the next few days. The Returning to Truth Sect has suffered a great loss, and they will definitely take further action. The puppets are hidden in Qingzhang Mountain, so unless absolutely necessary, do not move them around. We have no Spirit Stones, and can only rely on the puppets absorbing the Spiritual Energy drifting in the air to slowly accumulate it. Fighting at full strength consumes a lot, this must be kept in mind!"
Destroying Truth Type One has powerful combat abilities, but also high consumption.
In the barren Guangyuan County, there is no news of Spirit Stones. To get the puppets moving, they can only rely on the Gathering Spirit Formation within the Spirit Core Array to gather Spiritual Energy and compress it for storage.
It takes about five days to fully store Spiritual Energy.
And with a full store of Spiritual Energy, it can only sustain combat for two hours. This was one of the important reasons why Lu Qingfeng immediately ordered Qing Shan and Qingyu to have the puppets flee upon discovering stronger participants from the Returning to Truth Sect just earlier.
It's a critical moment now, and Lu Qingfeng had to remind the two of them.
Especially Lu Qingyu.
Qingyu is playful and the Destroying Truth Type One is so novel, she always ends up mischievously controlling it to wander around Qingzhang Mountain.
"I understand."
Lu Qingyu nodded, indicating she understood the gravity.
With instructions given.
He asked Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu to stay in his room overnight, called a lark to keep watch in the courtyard, and Lu Qingfeng lay down and logged into "Primordial."
...
Outside Miao Yin City!
"They've escaped!"
Zuo Xiao looked around, relaxed when he noticed no movement.
Facing such an archery master in the dark forest, they were simply live targets. If the enemy had not voluntarily retreated, Zuo Xiao really wouldn't have known what to do.
Beside him, Luo Junxia's face was grim, sniffing the strong scent of blood and ominously said, "Such strong archery and qinggong skills, these people are definitely not kind-hearted, we must investigate their background!"
"It has to do with the three siblings from Miao Yin City, their first target was Zhang Chong." Zuo Xiao continued to stay on guard, then instructed the disciples to spread out, collect the bodies on the ground, and count them quietly.
Then, he looked at Luo Junxia and tested, "Brother Luo, the one who helped us just now was—"
"I'm not sure about that, it should have been Master's work," Luo Junxia looked respectfully towards the west.
"Sect Master!"
Zuo Xiao immediately stopped asking.
Suddenly, Zuo Xiao exclaimed, "The enemy has retreated, why hasn't Brother Zhao come back?"
Before the words fell, a startled cry suddenly arose from deep within the forest—
"Head of Hall Zhao is dead!"

The next morning.
The sky over Miao Yin City brightened as usual, but someone noticed that there seemed to be a subtle atmosphere.
As midday approached, news struck like a bolt from the blue, shaking the entire Miao Yin City!
"The Returning to Truth Sect's 'Lifeless Blade' Zhao Zhou is dead?!"
"How is that possible! Not only was Zhao Zhou the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall of the Returning to Truth Sect, but also a famous strong practitioner in the True Qi Realm, how could he—"
"The news is correct! It happened just outside Miao Yin City in Qingzhang Mountain. It's said that the Returning to Truth Sect's Hall Master of the Killing Body Hall Zuo Xiao and Elder Luo Junxia hurried to Miao Yin City first thing in the morning."
"This matter has gotten big!"
...
The battle outside Miao Yin City last night could not be hidden at all, with dozens of disciples killed and a Hall Master perishing, the Returning to Truth Sect urgently needed an explanation to regain their face and re-establish their authority!
