Chapter 897: Chapter 897: Puppets
The so-called Shadowless Gu is a peculiar insect used for tracking.
Its color is transparent, almost invisible, possessing a strong ability to remain concealed, making it impossible for ordinary Cultivators to detect under normal circumstances.
If it weren’t for Zhu Fei being accompanied by Little White, who has an extremely keen sense for all kinds of strange insects in the world, Zhu Fei might have suffered a disadvantage this time.
"This won’t do! Zhu Fei, someone is scheming against us, we absolutely can’t let this go!"
Chen Tianxing grasped the Shadowless Gu, her charming face immediately filled with Evil Qi.
She suddenly activated her Immortal Essence to kill the Shadowless Gu directly, but unexpectedly, Zhu Fei intervened, temporarily stopping Chen Tianxing’s action.
"Zhu Fei, you...?"
Chen Tianxing looked at Zhu Fei with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
"Tianxing, killing this Shadowless Gu won’t achieve much except for temporary relief. Honestly, it’s not really significant."
"Then what do you mean...?"
Chen Tianxing’s heart was slightly moved, asking Zhu Fei with a probing look.
Zhu Fei smiled and nodded, saying, "Exactly, I kept them because they indeed have another use."
As he spoke, a trace of coldness appeared on Zhu Fei’s face, and he continued, "Dare to target us? If we let it go just like that without showing them some consequences, it would be too lenient."
"Hmm, what do you plan to do?"
Chen Tianxing looked at Zhu Fei, her face gradually showing an expression of interest.
Zhu Fei smiled slightly and suddenly reached out, lightly stroking his own ring.
In the next second, two puppets that looked identical to Zhu Fei and Chen Tianxing, even their aura was eighty percent similar, suddenly appeared before Chen Tianxing’s eyes!
"Zhu Fei, is this... these are puppets?"
Chen Tianxing’s face revealed a hint of shock, looking at Zhu Fei with disbelief.
She simply did not expect that Zhu Fei would have such things.
Wait, these two puppets, Zhu Fei must have prepared them earlier. Could it be he was already prepared for this?
Seeing Chen Tianxing’s astonished look, Zhu Fei couldn’t help but smile and nod.
"Yes, a month ago, I noticed someone secretly watching us. To be safe, I secretly prepared these two puppets. What do you think of them, Tianxing?"
Actually, Zhu Fei had secretly purchased two puppet embryos and, combined with his previous Artifact Refining skills, crafted these two things.
Since people can be deceitful in this place where it’s every man for himself, Zhu Fei couldn’t trust anyone else with crafting his puppets.
Furthermore, with his current Artifact Refining skills, crafting puppets or Immortal Artifacts might still be beyond his capability.
But as things stand, with the puppet embryo as a foundation, creating two puppets isn’t too difficult.
At this moment, upon hearing Zhu Fei’s words, Chen Tianxing took a deep breath first, then finally nodded and said, "Yes, hmm, it’s truly impressive."
After a brief pause, Chen Tianxing’s face showed a smile as she looked at the two puppets before her, and she turned towards Zhu Fei again and said:
"Zhu Fei, you’re bringing them out at this time, don’t tell me you want to...?"
"Hmm, that’s right."
Zhu Fei smiled and snapped his fingers, then nodded and said, "I’m going to use them to create fake scenarios, even if we can’t truly make those trying to harm us suffer, we’ll certainly disgust them."
As he spoke, Zhu Fei suddenly raised his hand, firing the Shadowless Gu adhered to their Identity Jade into the two puppets directly.
After doing this, Zhu Fei took out four talismans from himself again.
Two were inserted into the puppets’ bodies, while the other two, one was kept by him, and the other was handed to Chen Tianxing.
"Zhu Fei, is this the Instant Escape Talisman?"
Taking the talisman Zhu Fei handed over, Chen Tianxing examined it carefully, then glanced at the two puppets, her eyes suddenly brightening with surprise as she said:
"I see, you want to use these two puppets, then use the Instant Escape Talisman to draw those people hidden in the dark away. We’ll act afterwards, right?"
Upon hearing Chen Tianxing’s analysis, Zhu Fei praised her by nodding.
"Yes, that’s about it. But before we leave, we still need to disguise ourselves to ensure nothing goes wrong."
Upon hearing Zhu Fei’s final sentence, Chen Tianxing’s body trembled slightly, and her gaze showed more admiration towards Zhu Fei.
She, the dignified Tianxing Venerable, was also a remarkable figure on the Xuanhuang Continent.
But her greatness lay mostly in her cultivation talent and her personal luck; in terms of these old-fashioned worldly tricks, she was far inferior to Zhu Fei.
Thinking of the countless strategies Zhu Fei had after meeting him, a hard-to-describe feeling rose in her heart.
Then, the two discussed more details, and by noon the next day, they disguised themselves as a middle-aged couple, heading towards the exit of Peace Square.
Not far in front of them were the two humanoid puppets that looked just like Zhu Fei and Chen Tianxing!
The two puppets had just stepped out of Peace Square when a layer of space fluctuation from the Instant Escape Talisman enveloped them.
In just the blink of an eye, the figures of the two puppets vanished from people’s sight.
Simultaneously, Zhu Fei and Chen Tianxing, who were following behind, sharply sensed nearly six fluctuations quickly pursuing in the direction where the two puppets had disappeared.
’Damn! They really think highly of me, actually sending out six True Immortals at once, and one of them is even at the True Immortal Peak Realm.’
Humph! Since you wish to harm me for no reason, don’t blame me for being ruthless. I’ll definitely send you a big gift.
Zhu Fei cursed in his heart, yet he and Chen Tianxing had already quickly blended into the vast Chaotic City, disappearing completely in an instant.
...
On the other side, luck seemed to favor Zhu Fei’s two humanoid puppets as they didn’t land in a demon gathering area.
It’s essential to understand that the Instant Escape Talisman’s teleportation isn’t fixed.
In other words, upon activation, you might appear ten meters away, or you could be a thousand miles away.
During this process, the final destination entirely depends on your luck.
At this moment, the two puppets had just autonomously traveled several hundred meters when six figures "swish" appeared around them, directly encircling them!
