Chapter 73 Simulated Puppets
Chapter 73 Simulated Puppets
"Huh?" Yun Fuzhao waved his hand. "It's not that bad."
Xu Xiang was just an ordinary cultivator, and in theory, he had no connection with Ying Tianjue. The person behind him must have a very important background.
The fact that the other party instructed Xu Xiang to help Ying Tianjue capture her suggests either that they have a grudge against her or against the Wuyai Sword Sect. Thinking deeper, they might be trying to prevent the Wuyai Sword Sect from cooperating with the Demon Clan.
Yun Fuzhao told Yu Ze his thoughts, and he said in a deep voice, "According to your statement, Ying Tianjue may have already joined forces with a certain power to seize the position of Demon Lord."
"Probably."
Yun Fuzhao sighed, "It seems we can't stay here too long. They're clearly after us."
"Hmm." Yu Ze was also still shaken. If Yun Fuzhao had really gotten into trouble in his territory, he was afraid he would have massacred the entire Demon Realm.
"I will investigate his death thoroughly. The Brahma Palace is under strict lockdown during this period, so you are not allowed to go out."
Yun Fuzhao thought of another problem. Li Xiang was, after all, a member of their Wuya Sword Sect. His death in the Demon Realm would cause panic among the other disciples.
System 001: [Host, would you like to buy some props? A lifelike puppet that can perfectly replicate a person's speech and behavior.]
Yun Fuzhao's eyes lit up. "Yes, yes, yes!"
System 001 emitted a shrewd merchant's laugh: [Two thousand points.]
She only has 1100 points now, she's still more than 900 short.
System 001: [Accept side quest? Reward: 1000 points.]
"You just wait and see, huh?"
[Given the streamer's urgent situation, the system is offering a credit service.]
Yun Fuzhao had no reason to refuse. "Tell me, what side quest is it?"
System 001: [Proceed to the Ten Directions Secret Realm and tame a spirit beast of rank seven or higher as your sect's guardian beast.]
Guardian beasts are essential spirit beasts for major sects. Like the sect-protecting formation, they are the sect's protective charms.
She remembered that the guardian beast of the Xuantian Sect was an eighth-grade Xuanwu, which had lived for over a thousand years.
If the Boundless Sword Sect wants to rise to prominence, it naturally needs guardian beasts.
However, achieving rank seven or higher is quite difficult.
But with Jiaoyu around, it's worth a try.
Yun Fuzhao accepted the request, and the system acted quickly, promptly delivering the life-size puppet to her storage bag.
Two thousand points, I must make good use of them.
System 001: [Friendly reminder: Streamers can share the puppet's perspective, and there is no limit to the number of times the puppet can be used.]
That means she can use it indefinitely, which is great, it's not a one-time use item. Otherwise, she'd be heartbroken.
Yun Fuzhao released the puppet from the storage bag. Yu Ze had just finished explaining the relevant matters to his subordinates when he turned around and a puppet as tall as him appeared out of thin air.
“This is a good thing,” Yun Fuzhao blinked, “a lifelike puppet.”
The puppet has no facial features; it's flat. Yet, it's humanoid, which would terrify anyone at night.
Following the system's instructions, Yun Fuzhao copied and pasted the face of Li Xiang, who was lying dead on the ground. In no time, the puppet's features were perfectly replicated.
Even the sarcastic and contemptuous expression on his face was vividly portrayed.
The system said that the puppet could read the memories of the cloned person and their subtle movements.
Even their own mothers couldn't tell the difference.
"You haven't seen it?"
Yu Ze nodded. "No."
"That's right, no."
The people here are unaware of the existence of such lifelike puppets, which made it easier for her to deceive everyone.
She leaned closer to Yu Ze and whispered, "That person left quickly and didn't have time to confirm whether Li Xiang was truly dead or not. How about we do this..."
"Okay. That's fine."

The other disciples of the Boundless Sword Sect were completely unaware of everything. In just two days, they had become close friends with the demons, calling each other brothers.
There were even a few who hit it off.
Demons place great importance on bloodlines, and intermarriage with other races is punishable by whipping in the demon realm.
However, Yu Ze abolished this rule after taking office, since his bloodline was not pure. This move also displeased Lord Yingtianjue and other minor lords, who filed several protests.
Because of the extreme lack of cooperation from other sectors, the only place where this measure was actually implemented was the Brahma Palace.
Yun Fuzhao didn't have any objections to this; as long as people are happy, that's all that matters.
Given the current situation, if they were to talk about it, they would most likely end up in a long-distance relationship.
After all, the cultivation world does not accept demons.
"I'm leaving tomorrow, and I'm really going to miss it."
"I don't know if there will be another chance."
Li Xiang sneered, "If you don't want to leave so much, then stay in the Demon Realm. Anyway, the sect doesn't need you."
Yun Fuzhao scratched his head. To be honest, this puppet even perfectly replicated the tone of voice.
"Are you crazy, Li Xiang? I've never seen such a spoilsport."
"You have the disease."
"You are sick."
The two quickly started arguing, one sentence after another, while Yun Fuzhao watched leisurely. Their argument was like that of elementary school children, utterly harmless.
“Yun Fuzhao”.
Yu Ze walked over carrying a basket of blue fruit.
He lifted the item up, saying, "This is a specialty of the Demon Clan, the Detoxifying Fruit, which can remove residual toxins from the body."
A knowledgeable disciple exclaimed in surprise, "The Poison-Transforming Fruit can sell for fifty high-grade spirit stones in the cultivation world."
Yun Fuzhao was surprised, "So expensive?"
Yu Ze nodded. "The Brahma Palace has a whole grove of fruit trees. If you want, I can take you there to pick some."
The other disciples stopped and called out, "Demon Lord, can you take me there? I don't want to pick them, I just want to look at them."
"How can you say that? Please give me a thank you."
The disciples suddenly became noisy, and Yun Fuzhao whispered to Yu Ze, "If you can't take me, just blink."
Yu Ze stared down at her. Today, she was wearing a rare lake-blue robe, which made her skin look fair and radiant, as if you could squeeze water out of it.
“You can bring them.” Yu Ze’s gaze fell on her nose. “They are your disciples.”
Yun Fuzhao gave him an affirming look, "Having you is my blessing."
She turned to her disciples and warned them, "Don't pick too many."
"Okay!"
"Sect Master, are we that kind of people? We're honest people."
Yun Fuzhao glanced at Li Xiang, who stood quietly without uttering a sarcastic remark.
Li Xiang was afraid of Yu Ze, and would never say anything unpleasant to him.
This is also a very good imitation.
Li Xiang was shot through the throat with an arrow, but he survived and was still lively and energetic.
This will definitely alert the mastermind behind the scenes, and regardless of whether it's true or not, they will try every means to get rid of him.
The demon who fired the arrows committed suicide by poisoning himself, and they couldn't get any information out of him. They could only pin their hopes on the puppet Li Xiang and see if they would come looking for him again.
The Detoxifying Fruit grows on the back mountain of Brahma Palace, where the trees are dense and there are large swathes of blue fruit trees.
As soon as they arrived, the boys ran wild, jumping and leaping around like monkeys.
This group of people have endless energy and never get tired.
After seeing Li Xiang disappear from sight, Yun Fuzhao pulled Yu Ze to a secluded spot and shared his perspective.
