Chapter 49: The Flying Puppet

  As he walked out of the Dragon Pavilion, Qin Xuan's mind was filled with thoughts. First and foremost, there was the information left behind by Lu Tianyang, a powerful figure from a thousand years ago. The "War" character technique had undoubtedly given him significant help, although it hadn't allowed him to break through, but even when facing a late-stage expert of the Qihai Mirror, Qin Xuan still had the confidence to engage in battle.

  Moreover, later Qin Xuan discovered a major secret, it turned out that on the stone pillar with the "war" character, there was a trace similar to a map, although blurry, but still recognizable, which made him ecstatic, apparently, this must be the location where Lü Tianyang buried all his treasures in his lifetime.

  Unfortunately, however, Qin Xuan had only been focused on comprehending the "War" character's secrets at the time, and so hadn't paid attention to it, resulting in him only taking away half of the map, with the other half still remaining inside the body of the solitary horned beast.

  Next is the Xuanling vein, and it's clear that the Xuanling vein isn't easy to obtain. From Lü Tianyang being trapped until now, we can see that as long as it still exists in the Qin family, there will always be opportunities.

  "You mysterious and elusive aura, one day I will make you surrender at my feet!"

  A flash of sharp light flickered across his eyes, and Qin Xuan's aura suddenly changed, his heroic spirit soaring to the sky, even the old ancestor beside him couldn't help but glance at him sideways, secretly shocked in his heart.

  Before long, the two of them arrived at a courtyard in the original Western Prefecture. At this time, there were two figures sitting opposite each other and talking. Qin Xuan looked carefully, one of whom was his own father, Qin Yun Tian, while the other more robust figure was the outer sect master of the Demon Cloud Sect.

  "The young master has arrived." With a hint of awareness, he raised his head to look over and saw Qin Yun Tian's face break into a faint smile as he smiled at the robust man.

  He nodded, and the outer sect master of Moyun Sect followed Qin Yun Tian's gaze. When he saw the black-clothed youth, the stiff corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve into a smile. He had stayed in the Qin family for so long precisely to recruit the young man; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to converse with the head of a small family as the master of a sect.

  "Father." First, he slightly bowed his head towards Qin Yun Tian, then looked at the robust man with a grateful expression on his face, "Thank you, Master, for these days."

  Upon hearing this, the outer sect master of Moyun Sect's expression didn't change much on the surface, but he was very satisfied in his heart. The dissatisfaction that had been accumulating from waiting for a long time also gradually dissipated.

  "Are you going to follow Ben Zun to Moyun Sect together, or are you preparing to rest for a few days and then go alone?"

  Qin Yuntian and Laozu both looked at the young man, their eyes filled with thick expectations.

  After a moment of hesitation, Qin Xuan smiled and said, "I think I'll rest for a few days before going alone."

  He nodded, and the outer sect master of Moyun Sect did not show any intention to stop him. A thick, metallic voice came, "Alright, I also have some things to take care of. Take this token, and someone will come for you when the time is right."

  As soon as he finished speaking, a green light shot towards the young man. Qin Xuan hastily stretched out his hand to catch it, and with a slapping sound, the token fell into his palm.

  The green mist dissipated, and Qin Xuan only then discovered that the material of the token was very special. It felt cool to the touch, and under the sunlight, a cyan glow flowed on its surface, forming a circular shape. The front side had three large characters "Mo Yun Sect" engraved on it, while the back side had an extremely strange pattern.

  The pattern resembles a human figure, but it has eight arms and two heads, with flames surrounding its body. It is majestic and powerful, towering over the sky and standing on the earth. At first glance, Qin Xuan felt as if his soul was being pulled in, and it took him a long time to withdraw his mind, leaving him shaken. He didn't expect that a single token could possess such power.

  "The Moyun Sect is far from here, and the journey is very long. With your current strength, even if you rush through the night, it will probably take two or three years to arrive." The outer sect master of the Moyun Sect said bluntly, then took out a strange puppet from his sleeve, "This is our sect's unique flying puppet. Originally, with your current status, you are not qualified to possess it, but considering some reasons, I will grant it to you first."

  Puppet!

  At first, Qin Xuan was somewhat helpless due to the robust man's words, but suddenly his spirit shook, and he stretched out his hand to take it over, his eyes filled with curiosity. This was still his first time seeing what was called a puppet.

  It was only the size of a palm, like a miniature eagle, its entire body shining with a metallic luster unique to it. However, the temperature was not the icy coolness of metal, but rather warm, as if it really had life and body heat.

  After playing with it for a while, Qin Xuan, who was in contact with the puppet for the first time, was at a loss and his face also showed a hint of embarrassment.

  Upon seeing this, the outer sect master of the Demon Cloud Sect smiled and explained, "Many puppeteers don't know how to use this flying puppet when they first get it, so it's quite normal."

  After finishing speaking, the outer sect master of the Demon Cloud Sect once again explained to Qin Xuan how to use this flying puppet, and only then did Qin Xuan heavily let out a breath. Previously, he was still worried that he would be exposed as not being a puppeteer.

  According to the external master of Moyun Sect, Qin Xuan released a strand of mysterious energy from his body and then poured it into the flying puppet in a certain order. Suddenly, white lights burst out from the flying puppet's body, and immediately after that, the flying puppet broke free from Qin Xuan's palm and flew to mid-air, where it exploded amidst the crowd's astonished gazes.

  "Hiss!"

  In an instant, a majestic eagle spread its wings and let out a loud cry, with an aura of invincibility and a powerful presence emanating from its body. Its wingspan stretched wide, at least five or six zhang in length, blocking out the sun. A pair of fiery eyes seemed to burn with flames, while the sharp talons on its belly gleamed with a chilling light under the sunlight.

  Hiss.

  Except for the master of Moyun Sect, everyone else took a deep breath in unison. The Qin family disciples in the distance also looked up and gazed around, their faces filled with astonishment.

  "This aura has at least reached the level of the Concentrated Spirit Mirror, and it's even at the realm of perfection!" The strongest among the three, Old Ancestor, exclaimed in shock, with an expression of utter disbelief.

  Qin Xuan was even more shocked in his heart, stirring up a shocking wave. Just one flying puppet was the full strength of Jing Shen Mirror, and this Mo Yun Sect was really too big-handed?

  What most people don't know is that this flying puppet is also known as "Wind Chaser", not only is it extremely fast, traveling thousands of miles a day, but it also has powerful attacking power. Even within the Magic Cloud Sect, it's considered a top-tier puppet, and only some disciples who have made great contributions to the sect have the opportunity to obtain one. On the mainland, it's an existence worth as much as several cities, comparable to some rare treasures.

  Qin Xuan was able to obtain it so easily also because the external sect master wanted to win him over with all his might, after all, in his opinion, the young man's potential was the strongest he had ever seen!

  Let Qin Xuan put away the flying puppet "Chase the Wind", and the outer sect master of Moyun Sect chatted with a few people for a while, just to let Qin Xuan hurry to Moyun Sect as soon as possible, and then left alone.

  "Mo Yun Sect is indeed a great sect!" Qin Yun Tian gazed at the departing majestic figure, his face filled with emotion. Although he had not interacted much with the outer sect master of Mo Yun Sect in these few days, the feeling he got was like facing a vast ocean, profound and unfathomable.

  He nodded, and Lao Zu was also full of emotions. He had traveled extensively on the mainland, seen all sorts of strong people, but only this one gave him the most pressure and shock!

  "Right, Old Ancestor, how is it going?" Qin Yun Tian seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked the Old Ancestor.

  The old ancestor shook his head and looked at the young man with a sigh of helplessness, "It's failed, it seems that this 'thing' is not something my Qin family can get involved in."

  Qin Xuan let out a wry smile. He naturally knew what the two were talking about, only he hadn't expected that even his own father was already aware of the matter regarding the mysterious pulse.

  "Ancestor, Father, that 'thing' is rare, but it's not impossible." Qin Xuan could only temporarily comfort him like this, but it was also a fact. As long as he was given enough time, there was indeed a way to resolve the Xuanyuan pulse.

  "Really?" The two people's eyes lit up at the same time, and their faces showed a look of surprise.

  "Uh-huh." Qin Xuan nodded, then suddenly changed the subject, his expression turning serious. "However, after I leave home, you must guard it well and not let anyone approach. If even a hint of this news gets out, I fear it will be the day of the downfall of my Qin family."

  Lao Zu and Qin Yun Tian both nodded heavily, no need for the young man to explain, they also knew what to do.

  Looking at the joyful expressions on the two elders' faces, Qin Xuan couldn't help but secretly sigh, turning his head to gaze into the distance. In fact, what he was most worried about was still the unknown great disaster three months later, because even if they managed to escape this calamity, with the Qin family guarding such a large treasure, it was hard to guarantee that something unexpected wouldn't happen at some point.

  "Strength, everything requires strength!"

  Clutching his fists tightly, Qin Xuan's eyes were filled with fervor. Although the mysterious master in the cave had said that a strong senior would come to help the Qin family, Qin Xuan didn't like to place his hopes on others; everything depended on himself!

  "As long as I, Qin Xuan, am still alive, I will use my own two fists to create a sky of my own!"
