Chapter 34: 34. Teng Sha's Scheme
The sudden voice startled everyone in the Ghost Puppet Sect. They all looked toward the sky above the Ghost Puppet Sect's plaza.
There, they noticed ripples spreading out in the air.
Then, an old man dressed in coarse cloth appeared as if he were a ghost.
The old man looked incredibly ordinary, even his aura was exceptionally calm.
However, beneath this calm exterior, Teng Sha sensed an overwhelming surge of terrifying elemental power.
"Nirvana Realm!"
Teng Sha gasped in shock.
He never would have thought that such a fearsome expert would appear in the Ghost Puppet Sect.
And they were after the Devouring Ancestor Ancestor!
If he didn't hand it over, even with his power and the Nine Yin Demon Mysterious Formation, he would stand no chance.
What should he do? After all the trouble he went through to get this treasure, there was no way he'd just give it up.
Teng Sha racked his brain for a solution.
"Where is the Devouring Ancestor Symbol?"
Ma Fengbin looked down at Teng Sha, his voice straightforward.
Teng Sha hesitated for a few seconds, deciding to take a risk.
He decided to play dumb to buy some time.
With a respectful bow, he asked in confusion, "Senior, I never heard of Devouring Ancestor Symbol? What is that?"
"Heh, trying to fool me? I've already sensed it. The Devouring Ancestor Symbol is right here!"
Ma Fengbin sneered coldly.
With the black runes given to him by the mysterious elder from the Desolate Ancient Monument, he had a unique sense for the Devouring Ancestor Symbol.
Especially after arriving here, that sensation had grown stronger!
He just couldn't pinpoint its exact location.
"Senior, I've never heard of any Devouring Ancestor Symbol, let alone seen one. Perhaps you're mistaken?" Teng Sha continued to play dumb.
Ma Fengbin's expression darkened, his eyes flashing with killing intent. "If that's the case, I'll just have to kill all of you and find it myself!"
As his words fell, Ma Fengbin reached out his palm.
In an instant, a prison made of yuan power condensed from heaven and earth enveloped Teng Sha, completely restraining him.
Teng Sha thought he could fool him, but he hadn't expected the other party to act immediately.
He wanted to resist, but found that his internal energy was sealed. He couldn't mobilize any of his power.
How could he fight back?
A wave of death washed over him.
At that moment, an idea came to him.
Teng Sha shouted loudly, "Senior, spare me!"
Ma Fengbin replied, "What else do you have to say?"
"Senior, I remember now. I recently obtained something from an ancient site. I'm not sure if it's the Devouring Ancestor Symbol you're talking about."
"Where is it?" Ma Fengbin demanded.
"Release me, and I'll take you there," Teng Sha offered.
"Heh, if you try any tricks, I'll kill you with one strike!"
Teng Sha quickly promised not to, and then led Ma Fengbin deeper into Xuan Yin Mountain.
They traveled down a secret path to the heart of the Ghost Puppet Sect, a place where even the sect elders were not allowed to go.
With Teng Sha leading the way, no guards dared to stop them.
They easily entered a passage that resembled a massive underground cavern.
After walking for more than ten minutes, they arrived at a large stone cave, over a thousand feet wide.
Countless luminous pearls embedded in the walls illuminated the cavern.
Ma Fengbin swept his gaze around but saw no sign of the Devouring Ancestor Symbol.
"Where is it?" Ma Fengbin asked coldly.
"Senior, the treasure I acquired is in that black hole below," Teng Sha replied, pointing to the pitch-black cave beneath them.
Hearing this, Ma Fengbin instantly appeared at the edge of the massive black hole.
However, what he saw was not the Devouring Ancestor Symbol.
Instead, there were chains larger than a human body.
On the chains were strange runes.
At the center where the chains intertwined, a blood-red figure sat cross-legged in mid-air.
The figure seemed to be soaked in blood, its entire being radiating an aura of terrifying violence and killing intent!
It was a sight that struck fear into anyone who saw it.
"A Blood Soul Puppet?"
Ma Fengbin, who was well-versed in many things, recognized it at a glance.
He frowned and turned to ask, "Hey, where's the Symbol?"
"Symbol? Heh, you'll have to beat him first!" Teng Sha cackled, slapping the wall before turning to flee.
Ma Fengbin wanted to chase after him, but in the next moment, the sound of chains breaking echoed from the black hole.
Suddenly, a terrifying murderous aura erupted!
The blood-red figure appeared, its crimson eyes locking onto Ma Fengbin at the entrance of the cave.
It let out a low growl like a beast.
"Blood... Kill!"
"What a terrifying aura!" Ma Fengbin's eyes narrowed.
"Blood... Kill!"
The Blood Soul Puppet transformed into a flash of blood-red light and lunged toward Ma Fengbin with blinding speed.
The extreme sharpness of the blood-colored energy blasted toward Ma Fengbin's chest from a tricky angle.
Seeing the Blood Spirit Puppet attack, Ma Fengbin didn't dare to be careless.
With a swift gesture, a mass of fiery red elemental energy condensed into a massive storm, hundreds of feet in size, violently smashing into the Blood Soul Puppet.
The Blood Soul Puppet was sent flying, crashing into the cave wall.
Yet, without feeling pain, it immediately lunged forward, engaging Ma Fengbin in a fierce battle.
In an instant, the entire cave collapsed from their clash.
The Blood Soul Puppet, tireless and immune to pain, was becoming a serious problem for Ma Fengbin.
...
Meanwhile, Teng Sha returned to the Ghost Puppet Sect's plaza.
Fortunately, the people of the Ghost Puppet Sect hadn't left yet.
Before the two elders could ask anything, Teng Sha urgently commanded, "Quick! Set up the Nine Yin Demon Mysterious Formation!"
He needed to take advantage of Ma Fengbin being held back by the Blood Soul Puppet and quickly refine the Devouring Ancestor Symbol for his own use.
"Yes!" the group immediately responded, biting their tongues and spitting out blood infused with their elemental power, forming a massive blood-colored formation.
Teng Sha directed the experts of the Ghost Puppet Sect to draw upon the cold energy of the earth to strengthen the formation.
Once it reached a certain level, he struck the ground with his palm, creating a massive black hole in the center of the plaza.
From the black hole emerged an ancient, vast aura.
"This aura... It really is the Devouring Ancestor Symbol!"
From a distance, sensing the energy, Nie Huayou became excited.
Liu Fulei rubbed his hands in anticipation, "Old Nie, should we make our move?"
Down in the plaza, a ten-foot-wide black light sphere appeared, and within it floated a head-sized, ancient rune.
A terrifying devouring power radiated from it.
"Haha, Old Liu, we've come to the right place! It really is the Devouring Ancestor Symbol. If we get it, we'll become the top experts in the world!"
Just as Nie Huayou was about to rush forward, Liu Fulei grabbed him. "Old Nie, there's only one Devouring Ancestor Symbol. Who gets it?"
"Uh, we'll fight for it." Nie Huayou hesitated before replying.
Liu Fulei thought for a moment, then nodded. "Alright."
The two figures flashed and appeared in front of the Devouring Ancestor Symbol, both reaching for it at the same time.
