Chapter 93: Chapter 90: Flesh Puppet

Leading Guo Xiaoxiao into the living room, the two sat down, and Li An carefully examined the array plate.

Guo Xiaoxiao sat to the side, propping her smooth chin with her hand, watching Li An, her eyes flowing.

Li An pondered for a long time.

This array plate is merely a relatively unique upper-grade Tier One array, not particularly difficult for him.

But the strange thing is, to repair this array plate, it just so happens that his Divine Sense has to operate according to the Tier Two array inheritance previously given by Guo Xiaoxiao.

This made Li An smell the scent of conspiracy.

First, let Li An get accustomed to the operation of Divine Sense, and then create an opportunity for him.

No matter how you look at it, it’s a trap.

What he couldn’t figure out was, what was the other party planning?

This array plate is just a bait, luring him to have to repair it following the Tier Two inheritance’s method.

The conspiracy has to be about Guo Xiaoxiao herself?

Would she suddenly strike when Li An is repairing the array?

But, she’s merely a Qi Refining ninth-level cultivator.

There are two choices now.

One is to repair it according to her ideas and take the opportunity to probe her.

The second is to delay and intentionally fail.

After a brief consideration, Li An decided to repair it nonchalantly.

After all, choosing the second option, Guo Xiaoxiao would notice. During this time, she occasionally comes to check on Li An’s progress, and with Li An’s current familiarity with the Tier Two inheritance, repairing this upper-grade Tier One array should be more than enough.

Facing a Demon Cultivator, exposure means danger.

And choosing the first option, Guo Xiaoxiao would think Li An fell for it, unaware that Li An is fully aware, rendering her plan useless. This way, Li An would actually take the initiative.

At worst, deal with this Demon Cultivator first, then leave immediately!

Thus, it’s the safest approach.

“How about it, Senior Wei, do you have a way?” Guo Xiaoxiao asked.

Li An nodded, “If it were before, it would indeed take some effort, but now, I am ninety percent sure I can repair it.”

After speaking, he directly took out many tools on the spot, including a talisman pen, a ritual knife, and some jade blocks for making arrays.

The talisman pen can be used to draw array patterns, and the ritual knife can cut materials into the appropriate shapes, etc.

“Miss Xiaoxiao, please be on guard on the side, as I will focus fully on repairing the array and cannot be distracted.”

“Alright!”

Li An immediately got to work, releasing his Divine Sense; a faint white light lit up on the array pattern, indicating Li An had already connected his Divine Sense with the array.

Guo Xiaoxiao’s eyes shone.

Li An’s expression became increasingly focused, the ritual knife and talisman pen continuously moving, and the light on the jade plate grew brighter.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.

A thin layer of sweat appeared on Li An’s face.

Guo Xiaoxiao was also watching from the side, suddenly, she took out an embroidered handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from Li An’s face.

Li An was so focused, it seemed he didn’t even notice her.

The light on the jade plate was extremely bright, and the repair was nearing the final stage—

Just at this moment.

Guo Xiaoxiao suddenly showed a faint smile, a black light at the center of her brows lit up instantly, and then it invaded the light of the array plate in a flash.

At the same time, she hugged Li An from behind, opened her delicate mouth, and her silver teeth went straight for Li An’s neck!

“Ah—”

Li An let out a shrill scream, his brow furrowed, and his Divine Sense was invaded by that black light, the intense pain causing his whole body to tremble, almost losing all his strength.

He was directly knocked down to the ground by Guo Xiaoxiao, who lifted her skirt, and sat on him, tightly pressing against his neck, her teeth already piercing his skin.

At this moment, Guo Xiaoxiao seemed to have turned into a blood-sucking zombie.

Li An felt, that as she sucked away his blood, a certain medicinal property followed her silver teeth into his body, causing an inexplicable evil fire to flare up in Li An.

A strange poison!

Li An could resolve it with the power of the Life Seed, but he didn’t move, going with the flow instead.

Guo Xiaoxiao shook her waist intensely.

Li An had lost the power of resistance, except for feeling weak all over, he could only endure her abuse.

And in the process, Li An’s Divine Sense resistance finally dissipated, and that black light directly invaded Li An’s forehead.

The black light entered the Spirit Platform!

At this moment, Li An inexplicably felt that his Divine Sense, his soul, had already merged with that black light, and every inch of his blood and flesh had established some kind of mystical resonance with Guo Xiaoxiao.

In this symphonic resonance of life, of blood and flesh intertwining, Li An suddenly sensed from the wound she bit open, some faint, fine threads were drilling into his body.

And that black light, was driving his Divine Sense, feeling those threads, and merging with them.

The eternal connection between Li An and Guo Xiaoxiao was about to be constructed.

It had reached the final moment!

Just at this time, in Li An’s Dantian, the branch of the Life Seed connected to his Spirit Platform suddenly erupted with a burst of pure green energy, injecting into his Spirit Platform.

Li An’s soul and Divine Sense, polluted and possessed by black light, instantly returned to normal, while the poison in his body was also dissolved, his hand veins bulged, and he suddenly turned over, pressing Guo Xiaoxiao beneath him.

His Divine Sense and Soul Power completely suppressed that black light.

The hot current gushed like a volcano.

His Divine Sense counterattacked like a sword.

Guo Xiaoxiao suddenly trembled all over, her beautiful eyes filled with terror, she cried out in a hoarse voice: “No—”

She didn’t understand, why, when Li An was clearly controlled by her and about to be refined into a blood and flesh puppet, he could still counterattack?!

How could this be possible!

Moreover, what she feared the most…

Failing at this critical moment, with Li An gaining the upper hand, meant it wouldn’t be Li An who becomes the blood and flesh puppet.

But rather, her!

She desperately tried to push Li An away, but felt completely powerless, only able to hoarsely cry out for help, but Li An swiftly covered her mouth.

Guo Xiaoxiao twitched, fainting.

At this moment, Li An clearly sensed a kind of connection.

It has been completed!

Li An, drenched in sweat, rose to sit on the chair, even though he had reached Foundation Establishment, his Divine Sense wavering made him feel inexplicably tired.

He took a sip of tea.

…

And at this moment.

“Second Senior Brother, I can’t quite control these few parts of the formation, please guide me…”

In the hall of a luxurious residence, Xu Qiuhui was holding a blueprint, pointing to it for Jiang Huan to see.

Jiang Huan lewdly smiled and said, “Junior Sister Qiuhui, this is actually quite simple, as long as Senior Brother helps you refine a few sub-arrays and place them in these positions, you won’t have to worry at all…”

“But the refining of these sub-arrays, Senior Brother will have to put some effort into it…”

As he spoke, he placed his hand on Xu Qiuhui’s jade-like hand.

Xu Qiuhui’s hand slightly stiffened, but she immediately and quietly pulled it back: “Please trouble Senior Brother to refine the formation, and I am willing to buy it at three times the market price!”

Jiang Huan’s smile receded, and he said coldly, “Do you think I lack Spirit Stones?”

Xu Qiuhui’s face looked a bit unpleasant, and she whispered, “Senior Brother, in my secluded area, there are quite a few exceptional female cultivators, in a few days, I will personally select a few who resemble me to send over, troubling you.”

“Heh, Junior Sister is despising me…”

Xu Qiuhui gritted her teeth, “Senior Brother, this concerns the Master’s grand plan, I urge you to consider the bigger picture.”

Jiang Huan’s expression slightly changed, Xu Qiuhui was using the Master to pressure him…

After all, the Senior Brother had clearly told him to support Xu Qiuhui more.

“Of course, I will consider the bigger picture.”

Jiang Huan sneered, then took out three Array Maps, “Look, these are the Array Maps, you only need to find a Tier Two Array Master to refine them, and they will work accordingly.”

“I still have to adjust the portion of the formation I am in charge of, I am spread too thin… Junior Sister Qiuhui should find someone to refine them, it shouldn’t be difficult, right?”

Xu Qiuhui’s face remained unpleasant, there were indeed a few Tier Two Array Masters in the city, but all had a great friendship with Jiang Huan.

When the time comes, if Jiang Huan gives them a heads-up, who could she turn to?

Jiang Huan, doing this, seemed to help but actually didn’t…

It would leave no room for the Senior Brother to blame him, only blaming Xu Qiuhui for being incompetent.

Xu Qiuhui deliberated over and over, hesitating in her heart whether to sacrifice herself…

But she gently shook her head in the end.

Picked up the Array Maps, saying, “Thank you, Senior Brother.”

Then she stood up and left.

…

After she left.

Jiang Huan squinted his eyes slightly, “Heh heh, you think without sacrificing yourself, I can’t find a way?”

“If I can’t make you a puppet, I still have a way to use the portion of your formation for myself…”

“Oh, Xiaoxiao should have succeeded by now…”
