Unseen Immortal of Three Hundred Years

lief in his head.

After he took the talisman off, he suddenly took notice of the puppet on the side.

There were puppets around on Peach Blossom Island.
Some were used as servants, others were used to help the disciples train.

According to his knowledge, puppets only move on command.
Other than its master’s instructions, it wouldn’t move an extra inch.
They would just stand there, staring into nothingness and hearing nothing.

But this Childe Cheng’s puppet seemed to look at him while he was placing the talisman.
He only turned his cold and expressionless face away after the talisman was lifted.

It almost seemed like if anything went wrong, this puppet would have pulled out his sword.

After a second of thought, the disciple quickly took out a second talisman and stuck it to the puppet’s wrist without even speaking.

The disciple was young and of average build, but the puppet was extremely tall.

Therefore, after he stuck it on and looked up, he could feel the oppression from the puppet’s downcast gaze.

It was almost unbelievable.

Not only didn’t the soul-checking talisman turn darker, it even seemed to have gone lighter.

This was unprecedented.

But the disciple didn’t have time to think that much.
He quickly lifted the talisman and wanted to get away.

Before leaving, he reminded himself of what the Sect Leader told him to, “Peach Blossom Island is located in a dangerous place.
Although we get checked twice a day, some devils still manage to get here by water.
Every month, we’ll have a few disciples die because of this.
Therefore, there will be disciples patrolling during the night.
If they make noises, please be understanding.
“

Oh, also, never ever go towards the peach grove there.
Don’t even get close! “

“……”

Wu Xingxue thought to himself, “i> You’re better off not mentioning it.
Although I’m not one of those who’d mess around and find trouble for myself, now that you said it, I might accidentally go there out of curiosity.
/i

Thankfully, the disciple didn’t leave them hanging.
He explained solemnly, “All of the devils we’ve caught on Peach Blossom Island, as well as those who were devoured by them, are buried there.” Have you seen those centipedes that still move around after they die? The Devils are also like that.
Even if they die, as long as they detect your existence, they will still begin to stir.

“Then why do you keep them there?” Wu Xingxue asked with shock.

“They have their purposes.”

“Like?”

“Like during the night, when yin energy is the most abundant.
If outsiders tried to attack and happened to be stronger than those buried in the peach grove, then they’d move around restlessly, trying to approach the invaders.
That is the nature of a devil.

Those who cultivated evil ways were all like this.
They didn’t have feelings and only knew how to dominate.

The weak would succumb to the strong, moving towards the strongest instinctively.

That was how the Devil’s Den, Zhaoye City, was formed.

How else would a city lord rise from a crowd of demons and devils that killed him without second thought?

If the corpses make a big commotion and move towards a certain direction, then it would be impossible for us not to realize,” continued the disciple, “and it’ll be easier to search for the intruders.” But this tactic is hard to use.
After all, the ones buried here are already fierce enough.
It’s hard to find someone even more vicious to lure them to move.
“

“Anyway, just don’t go looking for trouble.”

The disciple was still in a hurry to return the talismans, so he left in a hurry.

***

Wu Xingxue wasn’t a mannerless person.

As a guest on Peach Blossom Island, he didn’t want to cause trouble.
So he didn’t wander around, and nor was he really curious about anything on the island.

He only wanted to meet Yi Wusheng.
And since he could meet him the next day, he wasn’t too worried.

Dusk came quickly as dark clouds covered Chunfan City and rain came pouring down.

Not long after the disciple left, Sect Leader Hua Zhaoting sent people to bring the meals.
Everything was quite thoughtful and enthusiastic.

Wu Xingxue held his sleeve and opened the lid of the boxes.
His lips moved silently.

Sure enough, the boxes were filled with the type of food cultivating disciples liked to eat—too plain.
But they looked quite nice.
There was a plate that had very elegant peach blossom pastries.

He almost immediately lost interest and placed the box back down.
He sat beside the table and poured himself a cup of tea.

Just after a sip, he suddenly heard a hoarse voice in his ear, “A normal mortal will get hungry.”

Wu Xingxue’s eyelashes trembled, then swallowed the rest of the tea.

There was another chair next to him, but after waiting a while, Xiao Fuxuan still chose to stand behind him.
So, while still holding the cup, he turned his head and said, “What are you doing there, planted behind my back? To show off your height? If you’ve seen my banquets in Juan City, you won’t say something like that.
“

After a moment, Xiao Fuxuan’s hoarse voice came again from behind.
He replied, “Normal puppets don’t usually need to sit.”

Wu Xingxue: “…..”

He looked outside at the disciples who passed by from time to time, then said to himself, “Sure, stand if you wish.” Then he poured himself another cup of tea.

Wu Xingxue pinched the cup and muttered quietly without looking back, “But it is quite strange.
I don’t really feel hungry.
Is it because my body’s too powerful that I don’t need to eat? “

But in the end, although he didn’t like it, he still took out a peach blossom pastry.

The lights in the room had already been lit; the warm yellow light drew a curve between his brows, nose, and lips.
Xiao Fuxuan’s shadow was cast onto the table in front of him from behind.

After nightfall, there were more disciples on patrol.
To avoid arousing suspicion, they tried not to speak to each other.

But at one point, Wu Xingxue took a glance outside the door and seemed to have thought of something.
He suddenly asked,”… Xiao Fuxuan, that Devil Lord who originally owned this body, what kind of person was he?”

This question sounded a bit strange, because even though he himself said “Devil Lord.”

For a long while, he didn’t hear Xiao Fuxuan respond.

But he could feel the gaze falling on him.

He couldn’t help but turn around, meeting Xiao Fuxuan’s eyes.
He saw that person leaning against the wall with his sword in his arms.
After looking at him for a long time, he said, “I thought your soul had mistakenly entered a body and that you wanted to return to Que Capital.
Since you’re returning to Que Capital, this place is nothing more than a dream.
Why ask? “

Wu Xingxue gently squinted his eyes, then turned back around, “You’re right.”

He didn’t expect a reply.

But after a bit, he heard Xiao Fuxuan say, “I’m not sure how others would describe him.” But to me, he’s a person who I can recognize no matter what form he takes.
“

Wu Xingxue’s gaze jumped.

Perhaps it was because of this reply, or perhaps because two patrolling disciples appeared.
The two didn’t speak again that night.

Xiao Fuxuan didn’t need to eat or sleep.
He just leaned against the wall with his eyes down, pretending to be a puppet.
Wu Xingxue washed up and curled into bed.

In the latter half of the night, a crash of thunder suddenly sounded on Peach Blossom Island.

This was the time of night when yin energy was the strongest.
The Devils couldn’t conceal their presence no matter what.
If there was an invasion, then it would be most obvious at this time.

Suddenly, a rapid round of bells sounded, followed by the noise of many people.

The patrolling disciples ran around with silver bells in their hands.
Nearly all of the thousand disciples opened their doors in a wave, just to see the dirt beneath the previously quiet peach grove stir in turmoil, almost like the abrupt agitation of a hundred bugs.

The next second, these movements rushed towards a single direction like a giant earthworm.

It was the guest rooms.
