The silhouette of the Corpse Puppet stopped for a moment. Its scarlet eyes flashed past with a look of hesitation as it looked at He Xiangyu, stunned. Since it had appeared, it had been invincible. No one was a match for it.

Now, though, there was someone who could block it, causing it to be stunned subconsciously from its conditioned reflex.

However, it was only for an instant. The Corpse Puppet then roared angrily. Its silhouette became a blood-red whirlwind, furiously flying towards He Xiangyu. At this moment, the Corpse Puppet had given up on Bu Zhangkun, turning its sights onto He Xiangyu. It seemed that at this moment it was more interested in He Xiangyu.

Roar! Even before the silhouette of the Corpse Puppet arrived, the Dark Soul Pearl on top of its head released a beam of black light. The next moment, a chill descended, instantly enveloping a radius of a hundred meters. He Xiangyu’s position was coincidentally at the center of the Chill Circle. The ground around him instantly froze over with a layer of bizarre black ice crystals.

Mo Wen was certain that if an intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner was situated in the freezing space of the Chill Circle, even they would be immediately turned into an ice sculpture.

It was too frightening. It seemed as though even the air had frozen solid.

He Xiangyu’s expression also changed drastically, his face instantly turning pale. He kept circulating his immense Inner Qi to withstand the surrounding chill. But the chill released by the Corpse Puppet was too frightening; even he was greatly affected by it. His arms and legs were stiff and his actions were infinitely slower. No matter how amazing his movement techniques were, at this moment, he could not unleash them at all.

The Corpse Puppet was like a fast-spinning whirlwind, scratching in frenzy at He Xiangyu, not affected in the slightest by the Chill Circle.

This time, the expression of this senior veteran from Five Beasts Sect finally turned ugly. The strong sense of danger that he felt inside was something he had not sensed often throughout his life. The shadow of death enveloped his heart.

Although the Corpse Puppet’s power was below that of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, it was far superior to a normal pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner. In terms of power, even three He Xiangyus would most likely not be a match for the Corpse Puppet.

“A Corpse Puppet can actually utilize the power of the Dark Soul Pearl. I’m afraid this time, it will actually be a lot of trouble.” Mo Wen’s expression also turned ugly, his eyes faintly showing intentions of retreating. The Chill Circle had no ordinary chill. Instead, its chill was released with the aid of the Dark Soul Pearl. It was extremely frightening.

Fortunately, in the end, the Corpse Puppet was just a corpse. It was not sentient and had limited control over the Dark Soul Pearl. Had it been a person who had cultivation equal to the Corpse Puppet, controlling the Dark Soul Pearl, He Xiangyu from the Five Beasts Sect would certainly have been turned into an ice sculpture in an instant and not just have had his movement ability affected.

The Dark Soul Pearl was the crystallization of the lifelong cultivation of a ghost cultivator who had the cultivation of at least the Primordial Soul realm. The power it contained was frightening. It naturally could not be measured by the standards of ancient martial art practitioners. However, likewise, ancient martial art practitioners could not unleash the full power of the Dark Soul Pearl at all.

“Grandmother Hui Ling, since you have come, stop hiding and come give me a hand. Only by joining forces can we possibly defeat this monster. Otherwise, no one can even think of getting the Dark Soul Pearl and the Cries of Hades Bell.” Anxiously, He Xiangyu turned to look at the mysterious person standing beside Pavilion Leader Ye Rong. The person was also wearing a mask and a large grey robe. The person was entirely hidden under the large robe.

Before this, the person had been inconspicuous among the team from Purple Qi Pavilion. Now, though, only this person and Pavilion Leader Ye Rong were left, so the person naturally stood out.

Jiang Pingzhou and Jiang Jingtao had long since guessed her identity. Recalling the absolute strong practitioners in the Purple Qi Pavilion that they were not familiar with, a few candidates came to mind. However, they just did not dare to be certain.

“Grandmother Hui Ling!”

“It is her. She actually hasn’t died yet!”

“How is that possible?”

After He Xiangyu uttered these words, although they were mentally prepared, Jiang Pingzhou and Jiang Jingtao were still shocked.

Grandmother Hui Ling, whose strong reputation in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension had been spoken of for many years, was still alive after all this time!

For Jiang Pingzhou and Jiang Jingtao, this news was too shocking. Everyone had believed this person was already dead, but now, after so many years, they had discovered that she was still alive. One could imagine how they felt.

In terms of seniority, Grandmother Hui Ling was the same generation as He Xiangyu. She was older than He Xiangyu by more than twenty years. Back when she was already famous, He Xiangyu most likely was not even up-and-coming. Yet she was still alive. How long was her lifespan?

Jiang Pingzhou and Jiang Jingtao glanced at each other, seeing a complicated look in each other’s eyes.

Medical Sect and Weapon Forging Sect were factions that were preceded only by Five Beasts Sect and Purple Qi Pavilion in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. In the past few years, they had kept developing rapidly, constantly expanding. To say that they had no intention to surpass Purple Qi Pavilion and Five Beasts Sect was naturally impossible.

On the contrary, Jiang Pingzhou and Jiang Jingtao were both ambitious. They had always held a long-cherished wish that they would live to see the day when the sect that they led would surpass Purple Qi Pavilion and Five Beasts Sect to become the number one sect in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension.

However, this thought now made them feel so childish. The centuries of heritage of Purple Qi Pavilion and Five Beasts Sect, as expected, was not an existence that they could fathom. Although Medical Sect and Weapon Forging Sect had a few tricks up their sleeves, the mere presence of Grandmother Hui Ling was enough to keep them from daring to act brazenly.

Moreover, the two of them clearly knew that among the Purple Qi Pavilion and the Five Beasts Sect, there were still powers that they did not fathom. There would most likely be more than one figure that was not weaker than Pavilion Leader Ye Rong and Bu Zhangkun.

When He Xiangyu was in danger, Bu Zhangkun felt even more anxious, but his ability was limited. At this moment, he could not save He Xiangyu at all. The Corpse Puppet was less than ten meters from He Xiangyu. He was completely helpless.

“Humph, you’re getting more and more useless, you old thing.”

Grandmother Hui Ling, who had not said anything all this while, coldly snorted, seemingly dissatisfied with He Xiangyu’s cries. However, she did not ignore him. It was because she knew that only by joining forces did they have a chance at victory. If He Xiangyu died at the hands of the Corpse Puppet, it would be almost impossible for her to deal with the Corpse Puppet alone.

She had barely finished saying this when she appeared in midair. From inside the grey robe, a shriveled hand extended out. The hand held a crooked-shape crutch. The trunk of the crutch had a dark red dragon circling it, emanating a crimson glow.

A powerful aura swept out. The crutch was actually a spiritual weapon, and its rank was not low. It was top grade.

After the red light flashed, a dragon-shaped shadow appeared behind the Corpse Puppet. It directly passed through the Chill Circle, furiously colliding with the Corpse Puppet.

A terrifying power swept out. Deep black crack lines appeared on the ground of the palace hall. Even though the hall was cast with special materials, it could not withstand the terrifying battle power right now.

The Corpse Puppet, which was originally already less than five meters from He Xiangyu, felt the attack coming from behind it. It roared angrily, turning around and clawing out, directly shattering the dragon-shaped shadow. No attack seemed to be able to withstand even one blow from the Corpse Puppet.

However, Grandmother Hui Ling was not aiming to injure the Corpse Puppet. She had already achieved her goal. Due to the two terrifying powers colliding, the Chill Circle gradually collapsed and dissipated. With a flash of his silhouette, He Xiangyu escaped from the Chill Circle, flying out a hundred meters.

He breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes showing signs of fear. Just now, if the Corpse Puppet had not bothered with Grandmother Hui Ling’s disturbance and resolutely attacked him, under such conditions, even if he did not die, he would most likely be crippled within an inch of his life.

Fortunately, the Corpse Puppet did not have sentience. Everything it did was just based on instinct. It would not have so many considerations. This was He Xiangyu’s fortune among his misfortunes.

“Such powerful cultivation.” A look of astonishment flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. His gaze fixed upon Grandmother Hui Ling. This mysterious person actually had the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm cultivation. It was the authentic pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm cultivation, higher than He Xiangyu’s by quite a bit. This surprised him very much.

In the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, there was actually such a figure. Her attack did not appear powerful, but with Mo Wen’s sharp sensory ability, how could he not see through the terrifying power contained within it?

If it was not powerful, it would not have passed through the Chill Circle and directly acted on the Corpse Puppet. Normal attacks would most likely be immediately disintegrated under the freezing chill once it entered the Chill Circle.

“Elder He, are you alright?” When Bu Zhangkun saw that He Xiangyu had escaped, he immediately flew over to He Xiangyu’s side. His gaze was focused on the Corpse Puppet.

“You’ve broken through?” He Xiangyu ignored Bu Zhangkun, his gaze furiously set on Grandmother Hui Ling. Just now, maybe Bu Zhangkun, Jiang Pingzhou and the others of the four later stage Golden Elixir realm practitioners had not seen through it, but how could she possibly keep it from him? The power just now could only be achieved by an ancient martial art practitioner at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm. Even he was slightly inferior.

“I just got lucky,” Grandmother Hui Ling said nonchalantly.

“As expected, the heritage of Purple Qi Pavilion is frightening.” He Xiangyu’s gaze was somewhat complicated. He clearly knew how difficult it was to break through to the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm. Eighty years ago, he had already reached the later stage Golden Elixir realm. But after eighty years of bitter practice, he had not broken through to the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm. Although Grandmother Hui Ling said it simply, how could she reach this step with just luck?

“In the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, aside from ‘that person’, you are most likely the number one strong practitioner,” He Xiangyu said somewhat forlornly. In reality, once one reached his realm, their experience and exposure would naturally be vast. There were quite a few later stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners hidden in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. But among those who could reach the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm and beyond, in so many years, aside from that person, there was only Grandmother Hui Ling.

“That’s not necessarily true. There are many crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. That person is the only existence that we can look up to. Who knows whether there are other hidden strong practitioners?”

Grandmother Hui Ling shook her head, a strange look in her eyes. The higher one’s cultivation, the vaster their experience and exposure would naturally be.

“Grandmother, you...” Pavilion Leader Ye Rong flew up beside Grandmother Hui Ling, her expression pleasantly surprised as she looked at her. Everyone in the palace hall had heard He Xiangyu’s words just now. She had not expected that Grandmother Hui Ling had actually broken through to this stage. In the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, how many years has it been since a pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner had appeared?

In reality, Grandmother Hui Ling mostly lived in seclusion. Her whereabouts were mysterious, appearing one moment and disappearing the next. It was hard for Pavilion Leader Ye Rong to even meet her. Hence, she had not known about Grandmother Hui Ling’s exact cultivation. For Pavilion Leader Ye Rong, it was practically a huge surprise.

Once word of Grandmother Hui Ling’s cultivation got out, Purple Qi Pavilion would certainly, undisputedly claim the position of the number one sect in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. They would surely overtake Five Beasts Sect. No one could surpass them.
