“Soul Searching Skill!”
As He Song whispered in his heart, his big hand gently pressed onto Cheng Yan’s forehead at that moment.
At the same time, as He Song’s mana surged, scenes appeared before him.
Standing there.
Cheng Yan was still in a state of shock and surprise.
He planned to give He Song a thorough report on various matters concerning the Herbs Immortal Workshop.
In order to gain He Song’s trust.
And then make his move.
But unexpectedly, he suddenly felt a darkness in front of his eyes, and He Song’s big hand pressed on his forehead.
Immediately after, an intense pain, as if his soul was being torn apart, came from within his mind.
This sudden pain made Cheng Yan instinctively want to cry out in agony.
However.
Just as his cry was about to escape, He Song, as if knowing his next move, stuffed several spirit stones into his mouth as he opened it to scream, and covered it with his hand to silence his cries.
As a result, although Cheng Yan opened his mouth wide, he could only make muffled sounds.
As for He Song.
At this moment, he had already started to watch Cheng Yan’s memories.
The scene before him.
It left Ping’er, who originally wanted to see what Cheng Yan would report next, and Chu Shuangshuang beside her, completely at a loss.
What’s going on?
Everything had just been fine.
As soon as they entered the mansion, He Song took the initiative to capture Cheng Yan?
Did Cheng Yan commit any taboo against He Song?
Or was it…
Ping’er and Chu Shuangshuang exchanged a glance, seeing confusion in each other’s eyes.
They weren’t worried about He Song turning against them.
However, the scene unfolding before them left Ping’er and Chu Shuangshuang unsure of what to do.
He Song capturing Cheng Yan.
And doing so right in front of them.
Indicating that He Song didn’t want to hide it from them.
Naturally.
They weren’t too nervous about the sudden scene before them.
Not knowing what else to do, the two remained standing by He Song, waiting for his next move.
As for He Song.
At this moment, he was searching through Cheng Yan’s memories, finding the information he wanted to know.
As it turned out.
This Cheng Yan was the master of those puppets outside the mansion.
His cultivation was only at the seventh-tier Qi Refining stage.
Logically speaking, he shouldn’t have been able to control so many Qi-refining late stage puppets.
However, he had a good master.
Cheng Yan’s master was named Master Ningyin.
His Puppet Refining Skill was quite famous within the Seven Star Sect.
Having a master skilled in puppet refinement, it was natural that the disciple would be proficient in the skill as well.
Therefore.
When the Seven Star Sect relocated, Master Ningyin passed on all his Qi Refining stage puppets to Cheng Yan, making him a nail, firmly planted within the sphere of influence of the Thick Earth Sect.
Qi Refining stage puppets were no longer of much use to a Foundation
Establishment master, so Master Ningyin didn’t mind parting with them.
The Seven Star Sect, a Golden Elixir Demon Sect, despite relocating, how could they willingly give up the lands they had cultivated for so long?
Even if they relocated, they would certainly leave behind nails as a foothold and means to return in the future.
As for Cheng Yan.
He was one of those very nails that were left behind.
Originally.
Upon learning that he was left behind as a nail, Cheng Yan merely intended to rely on the puppets under his control to slowly cultivate within the Herbs Immortal Workshop, waiting for the Seven Star Sect’s return.
But he hadn’t expected.
When he truly received the puppets passed on to him by Master Ningyin.
He suddenly discovered that within the Herbs Immortal Workshop, all the Qi-refining late stage cultivators, except for a few, had already been turned into puppets by Master Ningyin.
At the time when the Seven Star Sect prepared to leave, Master Ningyin swept through the Herbs Immortal Workshop with a single wave and crazily refined puppets.
Master Ningyin was ruthless.
As expected of a person from the diabolism path.
While guarding the Herbs Immortal Workshop, he secretly turned all the Qi-refining late stage cultivators into puppets in order not to leave a rich foundation for the Thick Earth Sect.
Those few cultivators who still had self-awareness had joined the workshop after Master Ningyin left.
With Master Ningyin gone, they had narrowly escaped the catastrophe.
However, doing so also landed his disciple in trouble.
Cheng Yan knew that if he used the puppets to deal with He Song, any flaw discovered might lead to a disastrous ending for him.
Left with no other choice, Cheng Yan had to step forward in person to negotiate with He Song, to avoid exposing himself.
But he didn’t expect.
Before he had a chance to show his loyalty to He Song and pretend to be a loyal minister.
He had already been subjected to He Sonxs Soul Searching Skill, draininz him of all his usefulness.
After learning everything from Cheng Yan’s memories through the Soul Searching Skill and acquiring Master Ningyin’s unique secret skill, “Spirit Puppet Skill”, He Song opened his eyes again. He silently let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
Fortunately.
Master Ningyin’s cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, and he had already left the area with the rest of the Seven Star Sect.
Only some Qi-refining stage puppets were left here, meaning that his original plans became unnecessary.
Otherwise, a fierce battle would have been waiting for him..
