After the world collapsed

Chapter 103 Bronze Mask
When Zhang Sheng found the two crashed spirit boats, he found that the body of the black-robed monk whose head had been severed by him had long since disappeared, and even the puppets he controlled had also disappeared.

There were only two scattered spirit boats left that were damaged due to the fall. After communicating with Xiao Yicai who stayed in the camp through voice transmission, Zhang Sheng picked out some of the spirit boat hulls described by the other party and put them into the storage bag. I hope to use this to repair Cong Lingshan's spirit boat.

The place where the spirit boat fell seemed to be in ruins. Looking at the traces on the ruins, those black-robed monks had indeed fallen here together.

It's just that someone moved them all before he arrived. Perhaps due to time constraints, the other party did not have time to erase these traces.

It may be one person, or it may be more than one person.

Thinking of this, Zhang Sheng suddenly realized that the other party might not have gone far, and he might even be watching him secretly somewhere, and it was very likely that he was an accomplice of the puppet master.

Zhang Sheng continued to pick up the scraps that were barely usable in the ruins quietly, while quietly performing the Zhanwang Qi technique, pretending to be casually looking at the surrounding dense forest.

This look really made him discover the clues, located in the southwest direction of the ruins, there is a faint purple air that is gradually dissipating.

Alchemy Realm!
Zhang Sheng's pupils shrank. With his current strength, he had almost no chance of winning against the alchemy monks.But looking at the way the purple energy dissipated, it seemed that the other party had already left this place.

It's unclear what the purpose of this alchemy master deliberately taking away the clues of the puppet master, but it is clear that the attack on the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect seems to be far from over.

Moreover, the southwest is not the direction where Xiaoyaozong disciples temporarily set up camp. It seems that the other party really just left.

That being the case, Zhang Sheng naturally didn't intend to catch up to make fun of himself, and it seemed that puppetry had nothing to do with him.However, he was curious about another point. In this world of cultivating immortals, there are actually monks in the alchemy realm who have left the level ahead of time.

According to his understanding, in the world of cultivating immortals in this period, a large number of cultivators in the late stage of the foundation stage are about to leave the customs one after another.

The alchemy state will continue to be postponed for more than half a year to about two years.

At present, the only monk he knows above the alchemy level is Shu Zhiya. The strength that Shu Zhiya has shown for the time being must be above the alchemy level, but Zhang Sheng guesses that he may have reached the Nascent Soul level.

The black robe they were looking for was suspected to be at the peak of Foundation Establishment. As for whether the other party had reached the alchemy state, further confirmation was needed. Perhaps the longer it took, the faster the other party's cultivation would recover.

You know, the other party is very likely to be a person from the Temple of Reincarnation, but he is from the fairy world, and it will be tricky if he is a veteran.

In Zhang Sheng's cognition, the cultivation base of people in the immortal world must be higher than that in the immortal world. It's no wonder that the old man didn't make it clear to him.

If it is a person who has ascended from the world of cultivating immortals to the world of immortals, then his cultivation must be close to that of Huang Xian.However, there have been only a handful of people who have ascended in the world of immortality since ancient times.

Most of the people in the fairy world also came from refining Qi and concentrating on cultivation little by little.It's just that with the help of immortal energy and various resources in the immortal world, their cultivation speed is much higher than that in the immortal world.

Now that the immortal energy has invaded the world of cultivating immortals, the speed of cultivation of people in the world of cultivating immortals has increased significantly.

So even in the former fairy world, people who can have high-level fairy ranks are actually very rare.

……

A few miles to the southwest of the Lingzhou ruins where Zhang Sheng was located, this place is already close to the edge of the forest.

One person was wearing a dark blue and black robe, and a few decorations like white waves were dotted on the robe, making this icy-coloured costume a little more comfortable.

This person is slender, wearing a strange bronze mask, the eyes are hollowed out, big and round, with protruding eye sockets, and the mouth is in the shape of an inverted "mountain". The big teeth are exposed, and the grin looks fierce.

He was holding a delicate token in his hand. The token was silver in color with two words engraved on it: "Lanling."

At this time, a slight smile appeared in his empty eyes.

"The kid in the Foundation Establishment Realm can actually find me. It's interesting."

He who has been hiding in the forest all the time, naturally had a panoramic view of the fight in the air just now.

Originally, the purpose of this time was to observe the Xiaoyao Sect, but I didn't expect to have unexpected gains.

He flipped his wrist, and the silver token he was holding was replaced by a sound transmission order.

A deep voice came from the voice transmission order: "Is the matter settled?"

The man wearing the bronze mask thought for a moment, and then sent a voice transmission: "Chi Jiu is dead, but it was not that Xiao Yicai who shot him, but someone else."

Not long after, the voice transmission order rang that deep voice again.

"Anyone else? Put it aside for now, Qianyuan Realm Yuwenji, go and try him."

Hearing the name Yuwenji, the person wearing the bronze mask was also stunned for a moment, why Qianyuan Realm had never heard of this name, it seemed that he was about to go through another experience.

Under the dark blue sleeves, slender fingers and index and middle fingers slowly stretched out along the edge of the sleeves, leaving a faint blue light wherever they passed in the air.

It will be completed in a short time. If Zhang Sheng sees this rune here, he may be able to recognize the function of this rune immediately. This is the rune of the teleportation circle.

He opened his palm and pressed five fingers on the rune in front of him. With a slight turn, his figure disappeared in an instant.

……

"Brother Zhang, what did you find?"

Xiao Yi, who had just finished healing the injuries of his fellow student Yun Yun, was relieved when he saw Zhang Sheng returned, and immediately went up to him and asked.

Zhang Sheng nodded at him, walked to the open space next to the spirit boat, and took out a large number of spirit boat wreckage at once.

It is said to be wreckage, but Zhang Sheng actually tuned some relatively complete parts, as well as the core part that Cong Lingshan told him before departure.

Anyway, he didn't know if these things could be used to repair their spirit boat, so he picked some good ones and brought them back.

Seeing this, Cong Lingshan called a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect to rush over immediately, only to see that the disciple looked through the materials on the ground and showed a satisfied smile.

"Xiao Song, can it be repaired?" Cong Lingshan was relieved when she saw Xiao Song's expression, but she still asked.

The latter nodded and said that he tried his best to repair the spirit boat.

Zhang Sheng looked at the Xiaoyao Sect disciple named Xiaosong, guessing that he might have some knowledge about spirit boats or psychic technology.Anyway, he has no knowledge of these things at all, and it would be embarrassing for you to ask him to point to the various parts of the spirit boat and name them.

"How are those puppets?" Xiao Yicai saw that Xiaosong had started to repair their spirit boat, so he pulled Zhang Sheng aside and asked.

Xiao Yicai faintly sensed something was wrong with the black-armored monk after he fought against him, and immediately guessed that the other party might be a puppet, and those black-robed monks, who obviously could besiege him with the black-armored monk, were just watching the battle from the sidelines. This further deepened his guess.

He guessed that the puppet master who controlled the black-armored puppets could not control so many puppets at the same time to carry out too complicated attacks.

After all, apart from the black armor who fought against him at that time, the black-robed monks on the other spirit boat were still attacking Cong Lingshan and the others.

It is not easy for one person to manipulate so many puppets at the same time.

There is also the man in silver armor, this man looks like a leader no matter what his body shape and clothes, and he didn't make a move at first, so Xiao Yi judged that he might be controlling those puppets through some kind of secret method.

That's why he had his backhanded Shanshui, and he knew what happened next. The silver armor is actually a puppet, and the real puppet master is hidden among many puppets. Zhang Sheng, who had hidden earlier, found out and solved it with two swords. .

Puppet masters are not uncommon in the world of cultivating immortals. They are good at manipulating, and can often defeat the enemy with super powerful puppets. But relatively speaking, once their bodies are discovered or attacked, it is their The time of death.

Just like today, if Zhang Sheng didn't find the puppet master, Xiao Yicai and the others would be consumed to death by those puppets, especially the silver armored puppet, whose huge body gave people the feeling of destroying the world.

Thinking back now, even though I knew it was just a puppet secretly manipulated by people, thinking about its gloomy and cold eyes and extremely oppressive figure made people feel lingering fear.

"The puppets are gone, and so is the man's body. There are traces of someone else coming to the scene." As Zhang Sheng spoke, the purple aura appeared in his mind.

Hearing this, Xiao Yicai frowned, and continued to ask: "Have you ever seen someone here?"

He knew that Zhang Sheng had a unique breath detection method, which was far superior to other similar methods he had heard of.

Zhang Sheng shook his head and replied: "I only saw a trace of breath, what is certain is that the other party is a cultivator in the alchemy realm."

Xiao Yicai didn't panic when he heard the words of alchemy cultivator. He knew that there must be his reasons or restrictions for the other party's non-appearance. The alchemy realm is simply going sideways in the current world of cultivating immortals.

It's just that he didn't understand, if it was true what Zhang Sheng said, the other party was a monk in the alchemy realm, spying on them secretly, and erased the relevant information of the puppet master before they did, what was the purpose of the other party in doing so?
There is a high probability that they are in the same group, but the puppet master obviously wanted to assassinate everyone in Xiaoyaozong, so why didn't the master of the alchemy state complete this task for him after the puppet master's assassination failed?

Could it be that he disdains to deal with them, a group of juniors in the Foundation Establishment Realm?Or is there another secret behind this incident.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yicai suddenly felt like he would survive a catastrophe. He could still talk and laugh happily when facing enemies several times his size.

But in the face of potential threats from monks in the alchemy realm, he had to think more about it.

One thing for sure is that once the other party makes a move, none of the fellow juniors and juniors in front of him will be able to leave here alive. This is the last scene he wants to see.

So, who exactly wants their lives.

A few familiar faces suddenly appeared in his mind.

Seeing Xiao Yicai's gradually gloomy expression, Zhang Sheng knew that he might have some clues about this matter, so he didn't bother, and quietly retreated to the spirit boat, watching Xiaosong repairing the broken spirit boat quietly.

When he saw Xiaosong holding up a piece of material he picked up from the ruins, his eyes suddenly focused and he took a step forward.

Zhang Sheng's sudden appearance startled Xiao Song, who let go of his hand, and the wreckage of the spirit boat that he was holding in his hand fell down.

However, he was caught by Zhang Sheng, ignoring the sluggish Xiaosong. Zhang Sheng picked up the wreckage and looked at it, and there were two words faintly visible under the dust.

Gently brushing off the dust with his right hand, the two words on the wreckage became clearly visible.

It is "Lanling".
