Chapter 57: Twelve layered devil liberating melody.

[Ding!: You have incurred the wrath of the unyielding star sect by wiping out their vassal village, they are now on the hunt for your puppet!.]

[Ding!: Your shadow guard's infamy has risen, look forward to it!]

"Look forward to what exactly?" Gu Lin Fang read his new notifications speechlessly, he looked at the second village he has just wiped and couldn't help raising an eyebrow, "Funny".

He casually walked towards his fallen bamboo hat When suddenly he felt some movement within the village.

"Players?"

_____

These people who suddenly appeared were so excited that they even started performing strange actions, like touching their butt to smells or acting strangely.

Gu Lin Fang wasn't really surprised, although he could confirm that those who belonged to his clan, tried their best to act civilized.

"Waaa!!!? Corpses?... blood?!! what happened to the novice village?!!"

after hearing this exclamations, everyone's' attention was brought to their surrounding, different expressions could be seen on their face.

All of a sudden, one of the players who possessed better senses yelled out, "Someone's coming…"

After the yell, the whole place fell silent, and the atmosphere grew tenser.

all the players raised their heads almost at the same time, glancing at the same direction.

In their view, a figure was slowly approaching them...

However, just when Gu Lin Fang intended to test if players added to body count and if it could would work on the Pagoda, a cold voice was heard, "Who among you have been attacking my Unyielding star sect's properties and people?"

At that instant, Gu Lin Fang's expression changed slightly; He instantly gathered all of the puppet's  might and prepared his mind for a battle.

He was slightly surprised; with his current cultivation and even the puppet's perception, someone was able to approach without him noticing?.

'Nascent soul expert?'

He turned around and looked in the direction of the voice.

At the entrance of a small hut stood an old man. He was wearing a ragged robe made of cloth; wrinkles like blade scars could be seen on his face due to his age, giving him an icy aura.

At that instant, the players staggered; they did not expect to meet such an unexpected scene upon logging in.

Some refused to breathe Incase they attracted attention in this tense atmosphere.

At the same time, Gu Lin Fang had pulled out his world map and found the {unyielding star sect's} location.

It was indicated in smaller fonts but he could find it easily with his superb eye sight, he tapped the name lightly to at least get a brief introduction of the place.

At first he wanted to ignore the notification but he didn't expect them to send someone here so fast.

[The unyielding star sect is a small neutral sect, that only trained with sabers exclusively. Located at the...]

"Not much, no wonder he arrived quickly" Gu Lin Fang muttered lightly while looking towards the rocky area in the distance with a weird expression.

In the old man's view, the shadow guard was silent for a moment and then looked at the s direction of his sect.

A slight frown appeared on his face before it reverted back to normal.

"Hey! Come away with me." The mysterious old man said calmly, "As for you all, try to take care of this place."

After saying that, he sighed before adding "I'm sorry for your loss, someone will come take you all back to the sect later".

The players were stunned, "does he think we're..."

"Shut up, looks like we can join a sect!".

All kinds of murmurs could be heard but the old man couldn't be bothered with them anymore.

He squinted his eyes at the shadow guard and at that instant, the atmosphere in the surroundings condensed, as an imperious pressure was unleashed.

The players faces were twisted; Being exposed to such pressure, they felt like they had turned into ants, which could be trampled to death at any time.

Despite all this, the puppet's expression remained unchanged under the bamboo hat.

Gu Lin Fang smiled casually as he watched through the puppet's eyes, "Such strong presence, looks like I have found the next shadow guard hehehe, but this fight would be a tough one with the puppet alone.

I need it in good shape to explore the ruins".

The mysterious old man was surprised by the lack of reaction and remained stationary for a while, before withdrawing his aura and saying in a calm tone, " it'd be wiser if you don't reject me next time; those who rejected me are all dead."

After hearing the words, Gu Lin Fang laughed inwardly, regretting why he couldn't talk through the puppet yet, but soon an astonished expression appeared on his face.

"Why isn't he acting already, perhaps he's waiting for something" With this in mind, he pushed the puppet's perception in a straight line towards the man's sect location and immediately found some people trying to set up a formation.

"Aha hahaha, nice try...bye bye, catch you later, like I'll fight you in your home court when it's not my full strength", He controlled the puppet to run in the opposite direction immediately, his actions caused dust to scatter as he ran through the player crowd.

At the same time an enormous force was gathered around the old man; the domineering aura coming from him caused everyone to feel a sudden pressure on their chests, hindering their breathing.

"Star piercing slash!" without caring if the players were there or not, he waved his unsheathed saber in the escaping puppet's direction.

A transparent energy, filled with murderous intent, rushed towards it's target with great speed. Unable to dodge on time some players were killed.

This made everyone who managed to escape to twist their faces and inhale deeply.

With the puppet's body bent slightly, Gu Lin Fang made use of Li Zhu's jumping power and dodged, increasing the distance at the same time.

"Such a terrifying force, as expected of a Boss character, Sect leaders huh. I'm afraid if I don't complete the silver ranked test, I won't be able to compete with some Bosses!"

"Tsk, the puppet wouldn't stand any chance facing this." He was already on the other side of the village, that's where he found some horses to escape.

"Just you wait, I'll deal with you guys later... Haaa!".

________

After 15 minutes of running, he noticed he wasn't being chased and decided to slow down.

"This is too suspicious..." That was when, someone walked into the range of the puppet's perception.

The same forceful aura emitted from the approaching man in cream robes, he looked like he was having a stroll.

'this one's aura is weaker and it seems like I walked into an entrapment formation, I guess I'll have to Kill him quickly to bring it down.

Let's see if I can get that technique into my hands, he looks important... I'll take it as compensation for disrupting my plans!'

"brother please stay, Qin Nan, would like to have a word with you" The man said affectionately, giving Gu Lin Fang goosebumps,

"Sound technique?"He got a feedback from his bloodline, warning him of some kind of illusion.

'Auroras Core Elder?'

This Qin Nan seemed like he wasn't trying to do anything but he was trying to make him lose his will to fight and break down his mindset.

Despite seeing no reaction, Qin Nan let out a small laugh as he pulled out a fan; his laugh was ruthless, and filled with rich battle intent, "Very impressive, this is indeed one of my strongest attack, although it's too bad it's still at a low level.

Don't worry, I will kill you and no one would know about me using another technique".

Qin Nan's whole aura switched together with his laughter, he pulled out a flute with one hand and unsheathed his saber with the other.

Qin Nan let out a roar, absorbing the surrounding Qi, white gathering all of his miniscule saber intent, to form a light dot on the tip of his saber.

"More, this isn't enough!" he began to play an unsettling tune as his hair started to dance around wildly; following his tune, the light dot on the tip of his saber began to gather more thoroughly.

It continued to emit a terrifying force; even though nothing special had happened yet, the aura it emitted was enough to send shivers to Gu Lin Fang's real body. The two horses began to whine and tried to break free.

BANG!

Before the attack finished charging , it ended abruptly as Qin Nan could be seen flying backwards while coughing blood.

Gu Lin Fang spat to the side while saying, "like I'll wait for you to finish, idiot."

He rushed to the fallen Qin Nan who was suffering from the backlash of mixing those multiple techniques.

He grabbed the young man's head and began headbutting him repeatedly until there was a crack sound, blood splashed all over the puppet's face.

He searched the body, where he found only one technique with some medium spirit stones and Elixirs.

"Of course the sect's main technique wouldn't be found outside, tsk" He grumbled inwardly and then a thought came to mind, 'maybe I can have player come steal and harass till I complete the silver ranked test'.

He glanced at the blue grade technique, [Twelve layered devil liberating melody].

When he was done wiping his face with a Qin Nan's torn shirt, he picked up his hat before turning towards the horses.

The horse he had been riding had collapse on the floor due to a broken back.

Earlier, Gu Lin Fang had ejected from the horse directly instead of the ground, the force broke it's back and it began writhing in pain.

"Haaa... guess I have to Kill you now"
