In other words, Mr. Diyan was in a close balance with the fourth-level monster, and was seriously injured in the final counterattack.

Not long after the fourth-level demon tiger was killed, the two Nascent Souls from Dashan Mountain hurried over and left angrily without a chance to intervene.

"Senior brother, don't worry."

Lord Chi Lian comforted himself and said, "The royal elders said that creating a fourth-level puppet is very complicated and requires many types of materials. The materials for a fourth-level monster are not enough."

"Even if Yunxia Zong spends a lot of money to gather a set of refining materials, the first attack on the fourth-level puppet master will most likely fail, and the second time may not succeed."

In the royal books, there are relevant records of fourth-level puppet masters, which is not an ordinary difficulty.

…

On the way back to Yunxia Sect, Lu Changan suggested:

"Zi Yan, the sect will keep half of the materials for the fourth-level monsters. We will save some more materials. I will help create a near-fourth-level puppet in the future."

Currently, Lu Changan has no plans to create a fourth-level puppet.

Some of the materials from the fourth-level monsters can be used to enhance the blue-armored puppet. The materials required for the supernatural peacock are very demanding, and very few can be used.

It is impossible to gather a complete set of fourth-level puppet materials in the short term.

This involves the core and central components of the fourth-level puppet. It cannot be found just by finding a fourth-level monster or monster body and it can be completely in place.

Lu Changan took a step back and made a quasi-fourth-level puppet, which matched his level of puppet making and increased his experience in practicing.

"Then it's all thanks to Dalong."

Fairy Zixia couldn't refuse, her eyes were filled with tenderness and she said softly.

Logically speaking, she would account for at most one-third of the materials for this hunt for the fourth-level monster.

But without the power of the sect, it would be difficult for a Nascent Soul cultivator to monopolize most of the fourth-level monsters in Dayu Country.

In addition, during this demon disaster, it was only a matter of time before the Yunxia Sect helped Lu Changan collect high-level materials through power channels and upgrade all the puppets in the puppet army formation to third-level high-grade ones.

"It is difficult for non-magic monks to use the magic pills of fourth-level monsters. Dalong can find opportunities to trade them in the future."

After negotiation, Zhenjun Zixia offered compensation.

This magic elixir is not of earth nature, and even after purification, its effect on Lord Diyan is far inferior to the magic elixir of Stone Heart Dragon.

Stone Heart Dragon is only semi-demonized, and this time the demonic disasters are all deeply demonized species.

After the spoils were distributed, Jiang Ziyan had mixed feelings.

She realized that Xiang Dalong was repaying herself and the Yunxia Sect by giving up the profits and proposing to refine a quasi-fourth-level puppet.

In this way, if Lu Changan leaves Yunxia Sect and returns to his hometown in the future, he will not be in debt.

How long until Xiang Dalong leaves?

Jiang Ziyan felt sad, feeling that this day would not be far away.

The second half of the journey back to the clan.

Jiang Ziyan remained silent and just held Lu Changan's arm.

Until an urgent message came from Yunxia Sect.

Whoosh!

Jiang Ziyan suddenly turned over her hand, took out a communication jade pendant, and received an urgent message from the sect.

"How...how could this be so!"

True Lord Zixia's eyes darkened, her face looked ugly and she was caught off guard.

"Zi Yan, what happened?"

Lu Changan was puzzled, caressing the back of her jade hand, comforting her softly, and asked why.

…

Yunxia Sect, Yingyi Peak Hall.

When the two Nascent Soul Lords arrived, there were several coffins placed in the hall.

The coffins placed here are all senior members of the sect who died in the evil disaster, or monks who made outstanding contributions.

After waiting for a while, a new coffin was brought over, but the lid had not yet been sealed.

Wrapped in a white cloth, there was a mutilated corpse of a man. The body was bloody and miserable. The head was missing, and traces of monster gnawing could be seen on the mutilated shoulders and other places.

"Report to the two true kings."

Xuefeng Sect Master entered the main hall, bowed and narrated the details:

"This morning, Junior Brother Hu led a team to clean up the demon disaster near Hongshan Lake. Although there were many monsters here, there were only two third-level monsters. Unexpectedly, while fighting the monsters, a tyrannical late-level third-level monster suddenly came to kill

Monster, the situation is in danger."

"At the critical moment, Junior Brother Hu stepped forward to contain the late third-level monsters and attract them away to avoid a large number of casualties. Junior Brother Hu said that he was sure of self-protection, but when the sect's reinforcements arrived, he had already been killed by the late third-level monsters.

The demon ape slaughtered him. Seeing the overwhelming number of people, the demon ape threw down Junior Brother Hu's body and fled the scene of the incident."

The leader of Xuefeng Sect had a sad expression on his face, explaining the cause and effect.

"Evil beast!"

A cold light suddenly appeared in the eyes of True Monarch Zixia, and her chest rose and fell slightly. The bad news about her personal disciple made her very sad and angry.

The power of Nascent Soul-level spiritual pressure made the entire hall seem oppressive, and the Danjie monks present did not dare to express their anger.

She leaned over to conduct an autopsy and determined that the injuries were from demons. No human factors had been found yet.

"Where are Xiao Hu's belongings?"

"The storage bag exploded during the battle. Commonly used magic weapons and solid items are all there. It shouldn't be murder and treasure grabbing." Xuefeng Sect Master responded carefully.

"Give me the order to find out the whereabouts of the demon ape within three days. I will personally kill this ape!"

True Lord Zixia took a deep breath, with murderous intent, and closed her eyes tightly to calm down her emotions.

Hu Ang's death evoked the sad memories deep in the heart of True Monarch Zixia.

In her early years when she was in the alchemy stage, the senior brother she had fallen in love with was buried in the belly of the monster during the demon turmoil.

Later, I accidentally learned that it was True Lord Yunlan who was behind this incident.

"Zi Yan, the living is like this. The top priority is to investigate the truth and avenge Xiao Hu."

Lu Changan softly comforted him with a few words.

He secretly thought, how would Jiang Ziyan feel if she knew Hu Ang's true identity?

Now, True Lord Yunlan, who had seized his body, also died in the turmoil of demons, which is considered a kind of karmic retribution.

…

Three days later.

The Yunxia Sect found the culprit, the late third-level demon ape.

The demon ape was seriously injured, the marks left by Hu Ang's fighting skills, and was beheaded by the Zixia Fairy who arrived.

After the Yunxia Sect's investigation and analysis, Hu Ang's death was purely due to bad luck and self-inflicted trust.

There is a big gap between the middle stage of pill formation and the later stage of overhaul. It is normal for Hu Ang to fight against the monsters in the late third stage alone and die.

Only Lu Changan knew that although Hu Ang was in the middle stage of the Dan Formation, due to the fusion of Yuanying's remnant soul, his real strength was enough to compete with the later stage of the Dan Formation.

With some effort and using the killer weapon, you can have a chance to kill the late third-level demon ape alone.

He attracted the demon ape away because he wanted to conceal his strength and keep the material for himself.

Otherwise, the precious materials of the Demon Ape are received by the sect and will be used to strengthen Xiang Dalong's puppet array.

However, Hu Ang's cultivation is not as good as that of the Demon Ape after all. If a third party intervenes in the fight, such as in the late stage of pill formation, the risk will be considerable.

If the person who intervened was the Nascent Soul Lord, he would be completely unaware of it.

True Lord Zixia would not doubt Lu Changan about this matter.

Because Lu Changan and Diyanjun were not present during the incident, and they were accompanying her to track and kill the fourth-level monster.

Even if Lu Changan had a quasi-fourth-level puppet, it would be impossible to control it from such a long distance away.

…

In the secret room of the underground palace.

Lu Changan met the blue-armored puppet who had been separated for some time.

"This is a space storage ring hidden on Hu Ang's body. The smell of foreign objects has been checked." Puppet Master Wei presented an object.

"Well done! Yunxia Sect did not notice the existence of the third party."

Lu Changan praised.

"It's naturally not difficult to deal with a kid who hasn't reached the late stage of pill formation and is plotting secretly."

Wei Puppet Master takes it for granted.
