I don't have that kind of fetish!

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

The Third Elder personally visited, followed by six large wooden boxes taller than a person.

Chu Yuan looked at the row of boxes, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

What's this old man up to?

"Master!"

Han Song bowed deeply, his attitude even more respectful than when they last met:

"Your subordinate has successfully completed the mission; all six puppets are now finished!"

Chu Yuan nodded, feeling somewhat excited:

"Open it and take a look."

The first box was opened, and inside stood an old man with white hair and a withered face, looking exactly like a rogue cultivator on his deathbed.

The second box was opened, revealing a middle-aged scholar with a long beard and an upright appearance.

The third box was opened, revealing a young scholar, the kind of person you wouldn't notice in a crowd.

Chu Yuan looked at the three bodies and was fairly satisfied.

They all have very ordinary appearances, making escape easy.

Then the fourth box was opened.

A seductive and alluring woman lay inside, her eyes sparkling with desire, a smile playing on her lips.

Chu Yuan: "..."

Ah, this...

Han Song also introduced from the side:

"Master, this female puppet is made of ten-thousand-year-old warm jade for its bones and thousand-year-old ice silkworm silk for its skin. The feel of it..."

"stop."

Chu Yuan raised his hand to interrupt him, his face expressionless:

"Third Elder, what kind of twisted sense of humor is this?"

Han Song looked completely innocent:

"The cult leader said he wanted someone with a different appearance. I was thinking, since we're going to infiltrate, disguising herself as a man is a common tactic. What if it comes in handy?"

Chu Yuan took a deep breath.

Forget it.

Anyway, it won't take up much space in the storage ring.

"What about the remaining two?"

The fifth box was opened, revealing a child who looked to be seven or eight years old, with fair and delicate skin.

The sixth box was opened, and inside came a burly man with a face full of scars; he was clearly not a good person.

After examining the six puppets, Chu Yuan remained silent for a moment.

Well...

It's quite comprehensive.

From the old to the young, from the frail to the fierce, there were even women.

Han Song smiled and said:

"Is the cult leader satisfied?"

His favorite thing was a female puppet.

Although the cult leader verbally reprimanded them, he certainly didn't hold back his gaze...

Chu Yuan nodded:

"Third Elder, you've gone to a lot of trouble. This matter must not be discussed with others."

"Understood!"

Han Song felt a slight sense of relief and tactfully took his leave.

After everyone left, Youyue looked at the female puppet, a slight smile playing on her lips beneath the veil, as if she were lost in thought.

Li Tu, however, eagerly joined in:

"Master! This female puppet is so lifelike! Can it move? Can it talk?"

Qianji silently pulled him back.

Chu Yuan ignored him, walked up to the young scholar puppet, and placed his hand on its forehead.

The secret technique of one soul, two bodies is activated.

next moment.

Chu Yuan felt a blur before his eyes, and the whole world suddenly changed to two different perspectives.

One was inside the Abyss Palace, where his true self was still standing in the same spot, his hand pressed against the puppet's forehead.

The other one is...

The puppet's perspective is directly facing the original body's face.

Chu Yuan tried moving the puppet's fingers and then tried taking a step.

The puppet stepped out of the box and stood firmly on the ground.

Holy crap.

Chu Yuan spoke subconsciously.

Then he heard a refined voice.

Chu Yuan was stunned.

Putting aside everything else, just looking at his appearance and voice, he is almost no different from an ordinary person.

Chu Yuan tried to make the puppet walk a few steps, and then waved its arm, the movements becoming more and more fluid.

At first, I was a little clumsy, but after walking a dozen steps, it was no different from using my own body.

"Wonderful!"

Chu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

That old bastard Yin Jiuqi is actually quite something.

This is completely different from ordinary puppetry!

Chu Yuan had a thought, and the puppet stopped moving and closed its eyes.

Consciousness detaches, returning to the original body.

Chu Yuan opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

Li Tu leaned closer:

"Master, how are you feeling?"

Chu Yuan thought for a moment:

"That felt great."

Moreover, the Eye of Truth Seeking Illusion seems to be attached to the soul, so one can use the Eye of Truth Seeking Illusion even when one is in a puppet.

Li Tu looked on with envy, then suddenly remembered something and asked curiously:

"Master, when you were controlling that female puppet, did you experience any strange sensations?"

Chu Yuan was speechless.

What is this guy saying?!

Qianji stepped forward:

"Master, now that the puppet is complete, I have something to report."

Chu Yuan nodded, then smoothly changed the subject:

"explain."

"The White Bone Palace has been quite active these past three months."

Qianji's tone became a few degrees somber:

"They have recruited more than two hundred independent cultivators, and now the sect has more than eight hundred disciples. This rate of expansion far exceeds that of a normal sect."

Chu Yuan raised an eyebrow:

"Eight hundred people?"

How many people were in the Hall of White Bones three months ago?

Three hundred at most.

"and……"

Qianji paused:

"Recently, there have been rumors that the White Bone Palace is sending representatives to the Xuantian Sect on a pilgrimage, saying that they want to express their sincerity in submitting to the sect leader."

Chu Yuan narrowed his eyes.

pilgrimage?

So proactive?

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

What do you think?

Chu Yuan asked about a thousand secrets.

Qianji pondered for a moment and said:

"They're putting on too much show, which makes it seem fake. In my opinion, they want to use the guise of pilgrimage to get close to the leader and test his true colors."

Chu Yuan nodded.

Just as he thought.

"Since that's the case..."

Chu Yuan's gaze fell on the young scholar puppet.

"I will go and investigate for them first."

Qianji seemed to be deep in thought:

"Does the leader want to find out the details of the White Bone Palace before their pilgrimage?"

Chu Yuan nodded.

"Where is the female puppet?"

Youyue suddenly spoke.

Chu Yuan turned to look at her.

The look in Youyue's eyes beneath her veil was somewhat complex:

"I think that since it's an infiltration operation, the female prime minister might be more convenient for gathering information. After all, no one will be wary of a weak woman."

Chu Yuan remained silent for two seconds.

Then he looked at the alluring and seductive female puppet.

Then he looked at Youyue.

"Which one do you want me to use?"

Youyue remained silent.

But her eyes said it all.

Chu Yuan's lips twitched:

Don't even think about it.

He doesn't have a penchant for cross-dressing!

Chu Yuan walked up to the young scholar puppet and once again placed his hand on its forehead.

"This is it."

The moment consciousness was projected, the puppet opened its eyes.

Chu Yuan stretched his neck and turned to look at the three of them:

"The Hall of White Bones is in the Southern Region, right?"

Qianji nodded.

"OK."

Chu Yuan returned to the main seat and sat down, closing his eyes to rest.

"I will take a stroll for a period of time, which may take anywhere from half a month to a month."

Li Tu scratched his head:

"Master, should we guard your true form?"

Chu Yuan opened his eyes and glanced at him:

"You all go about your business. I'm sitting right here, what could possibly happen?"

Since Li Tu broke in, he used many of the original owner's materials to set up countless formations in the hall.

There's definitely no need to worry about safety.

Youyue stepped forward:

"Your subordinate will remain."

Chu Yuan glanced at her but did not refuse.

However, having a bodyguard at the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm guarding me does make me feel more at ease.

Moreover, Chu Yuan was very confident in Youyue.

"Then you can stay behind the door!"

"Thank you, Master Xie"

Chu Yuan turned around and walked out of the hall.

As he reached the doorway, he suddenly stopped and turned back to look at the female puppet.

"...Keep this for now," Chu Yuan said to You Yue, "just in case we need it later."

A glint lit up in Youyue's eyes beneath her veil, and a slight smile curved her lips.

"Yes."

Chu Yuan always felt that she was smiling.

But he couldn't be bothered to argue with it.

The puppet clone stepped out of the Abyss Palace, transformed into a streak of light, and disappeared into the horizon.

In the Yuanji Palace.

Chu Yuan closed his eyes to rest, his breathing steady.

Youyue stood quietly behind the door, her gaze occasionally sweeping over the sect leader inside the hall.

Qianji and Litu exchanged a glance and silently withdrew.

outside the temple.

Li Tu muttered to himself:

"Is this clone of the cult leader capable of handling it?"

Qianji said calmly:

"It's just a puppet. Even if it breaks, we'll only lose some materials."

Li Tu nodded and asked again:

"So what do we do?"

Qianji thought for a moment, then smiled:

"Do what the leader says, just do what you're supposed to do. But Li Tu, do you want to pull off something big?"
