Boom!!

The array shield shattered!

The outer Evil Qi shadow puppets, papermen, blood corpses, and various demons quickly surged in.

The alchemy room on Copper Sparrow Island was in chaos, the Sun family pill master was so anxious he was drenched in sweat, but the alchemy furnace contained "Water Abyss Flood Dragon Essence Blood." If the alchemy were abandoned halfway through, it would all be ruined!

He muttered anxiously, "What to do, what to do?"

However, no matter how nervous he was, his junior brother Bai always appeared very calm in his eyes.

The shouts and sounds of killing from afar grew closer, soon arriving outside the Sun family's Copper Sparrow Island.

In Copper Sparrow Island, Elder shouted angrily, and together with the two early stage Crimson Palace Elders still on the island, rose with their swords.

The Sun family pill master breathed a sigh of relief, murmuring as if to comfort himself, "With the Elder, plus Elders Zhao and Wang, everything will be fine, everything will be fine..."

But just as he finished speaking, he heard the Elder's startled cry from above.

"Blood Cliff! Copper Beard! Now the Peak Masters of Puppet Three Peaks, two have come! Ha, there's also quite a lot of early stage Crimson Palace young demons here, they really think highly of this old man! Come on!"

In the alchemy room, the Sun family pill master's brow twitched, showing a bitter smile as he looked at the calm Song Yan and said, "Junior Brother Bai, will Elder... Elder be able to win?"

Song Yan said, "Of course, evil cannot prevail over good."

"Yes, yes, yes, evil cannot prevail over good, evil cannot prevail over good," the Sun family pill master took deep breaths repeatedly.

Just at this moment, a miserable scream came from the sky.

The Sun family pill master jumped up in shock, screaming, "Elder Zhao is dead!"

Moments later.

Another miserable scream was heard.

The Sun family pill master was dumbfounded, "Another one is dead!!"

Then, suddenly from outside came the Elder's hoarse and slightly mournful laughter, along with a stern question.

"Was the Water Abyss Flood Dragon concocted by your Puppet Sect on purpose?"

"No."

A muffled voice responded.

The Elder was taken aback, then began laughing manically at the sky, standing suspended, his eyes full of devastation, witnessing the destruction and downfall of the major islands in the Misty Sea.

"My fault, my fault! If not for a moment's mistake, if I hadn't drawn my sword against my heart's intent. If I hadn't fought with my fellow disciples, resulting in injuries, how would it have come to this? How would it have come to this..."

"I am ashamed in the sect's eyes, ashamed to my master."

"Demon, you seek my body to make blood corpse papermen, but don't even think about it! And that demon Song, you want my soul to become a ghost, that's wishful thinking!

Though I cannot protect my home in life, in death... I will not be used by you!!"

In an incredibly passionate shout, a soft bang was heard from midair, but it merely echoed lightly and then was silent.

Immediately following was Blood Granny's "jie jie jie jie" laughter, and a hoarse strange laugh, "I was long prepared for your self-destruction."

She thought for a moment, then a blood corpse covered in glistening white fur suddenly appeared behind the extremely weak Elder, gently twisting his neck, then throwing it into the nearby coffin holding important corpse resources.

With the Elder's death, the entire Copper Sparrow Island plunged into momentary silence, followed by countless sword rainbows madly shooting outward, desperately escaping, but numerous demon shadows pursued them.

In the alchemy room, the Sun family pill master also shouted in fear, abandoning any concern about alchemy.

The Elder's death shattered his pillar of support, leaving him as lost as a stray dog, only concerned with fleeing southward, towards Luoxia Bamboo Island in a panic.

On Copper Sparrow Island, everyone was gone, scattering like birds and beasts.

On the island, houses and palaces collapsed one by one.

The alchemy room also instantly fell silent, leaving only one cultivator in a silver sword robe still fanning the fire under the alchemy furnace absentmindedly.

Knock, knock, knock!

A polite, even cautious knocking came from outside the alchemy room.

The knocking was neither heavy nor light, fearing to offend or that the person inside wouldn't hear it, so the sound was just right.

After knocking three times, without receiving a response, it did not resume, but waited patiently.

Until there came a faint voice from the room saying "Come in," the person outside then pushed the door open and walked in.

In the center, there was a dwarf old hag with a face full of blotches, on the left was a burly man with short hair and a fierce expression, and on the right was a pale-faced youth with cunning eyes.

These three were precisely Blood Corpse Peak Master Blood Cliff, now the outward Puppet Sect Leader; Mechanical Peak Master Copper Beard; and Paperman Peak Master Gong Libai.

Their expressions varied as they fell upon the man fanning himself.

And Bai Xiuhu's appearance had long vanished, replaced by Song Yan.

The three respectfully said in unison, "Greetings, Master."

Song Yan glanced over them with a smile and said, "I thought you might take advantage of the chaos to kill me."

Blood Granny shuddered and quickly replied, "I wouldn't dare, wouldn't dare."

Copper Beard lowered his burly frame, cautiously appraising the seemingly unremarkable man, chuckling in the earnest manner of a simple man, "Others may not know, but we three do, who among us doesn't know the Master holds the Cold Ice Hell Bracelet, and is infused with Changwang Tiger Race Blood.

Our lives are but a thought away from the Master.

Besides, the bracelet's nourishing of the Divine Soul is truly useful, coupled with the Master's strength, we all see limitless prospects, hehe."

Gong Libai instantly dropped to his knees, facing this junior disciple he had barely met a few times, joy filling his face as he said, "Congratulations, Master! My felicitations, Master!"

Song Yanqi asked, "What is there to celebrate?"

Gong Libai replied, "Past sect leaders held only the Cold Ice Hell Bracelet, never had the Changwang Tiger Race Blood, but the Master controls both.

The old ghost Gu Huangzi only managed to strike down the Ancestor by ambushing him during weakness.

Yet Master defeated Gu Huangzi during his peak, one-on-one. Master, you are the strongest sect leader in the history of our Puppet Sect!"

Song Yan felt the flattering atmosphere starkly different from that of the Sword Sect, pondered for a moment, and looked to Blood Cliff, asking, "How many cultivators above Crimson Palace Realm do we have in Puppet Sect?"

Blood Cliff hurriedly replied, "Five in Middle Stage, eleven in Early Stage, but rest assured, Master, Copper Beard and I can maintain control, combined with Gong Libai, the Puppet Sect is already in hand."

Song Yan said, "Gong Libai, go out and manage things. On Luoxia Bamboo Island, make a show of attacking a few times, but don't assault strongly."

Gong Libai chuckled and said, "I always follow the Master's commands; if the Master asks me east, I won't go west. Rest assured, Master, your orders will be carried out discreetly!"

With that, he turned and swiftly left the room.

Song Yan solemnly looked at Blood Cliff, then asked, "Have you gauged the power of the Fox Wolves?"

Blood Cliff said, "Should still be Middle Stage, after Gu Huangzi's death, they want to establish dominance by mobilizing us Puppet Sect, making us heed their commands. So naturally, they would act. When they did, I perceived their realm vaguely.

Strong indeed, strange as well, but still haven't surpassed the Middle Stage boundary.

Unless, they're still hiding something."

Song Yan was a bit surprised, thinking they would be Late Stage Crimson Palace, but since there might be hidden strength, he wouldn't be careless.

He continued to ask, "What news do you have about the Fox Wolf Nine Palace Blood?"

Blood Cliff said, "This time, the ones mobilizing us to attack Sword Sect were Red Granny and Old General from the Fox and Wolf Races.

Red Granny is much like the previous Fox Old Granny, multi-tailed, a dragon's uncle, capable of devouring flesh to spawn many little fox pups, other details unknown.

Old General's howling seems able to control blood, possibly a unique form of sound wave attack."

"Sound wave attack?"

Song Yan, upon hearing this unfamiliar term, truthfully, in the Three Kingdoms with cultivators and demon beast secret realms he's visited quite a lot, but "sound wave attack" was indeed rare.

Beside him, Copper Beard with a booming voice said, "Master, give the order, I, Copper Beard, know you're up to something big today, already brought all the gear.

Let me tell you from the heart, that fox wolf stench, I can smell it from miles away.

I assure you, in today's chaos, it will be a banquet for them, without a doubt they'll jump out to feast."

Song Yan glanced at the alchemy furnace, suddenly raising his sleeve to cast out the Traceless Array flag, the flag fell in four places, positioned unobtrusively around the alchemy room corners, then said, "Today, act as rehearsed. Using the Elder and other Crimson Palace Stage cultivators' corpses, lay a trap near the alchemy room, then lead them into the snare!

I'll say this upfront, on usual days you hide or linger as you wish, I don't care, but today... if anyone thinks to keep cards up their sleeve or stay behind, I'll certainly settle scores afterward."

In Puppet Sect, those shouting loudly "Charge" but retreating themselves were not few.

Blood Granny and Copper Beard paused, hurriedly agreed, then cautiously exited the alchemy room.

Once the door closed, Song Yan kicked the alchemy furnace over, retrieving the half-finished Water Abyss Flood Dragon Crimson Palace Pill inside, then walked into the array, his figure hidden, his aura gone.
