Chapter 2376 The Most Suitable Carrier
With the guardian spirit temporarily gone, the secret realm was now ownerless, allowing everyone to infiltrate without having to deal with the local tyrants. Best of all, the secret realm remained the guardian spirit's domain, and even the Earth Mother couldn't access it.
This is what is known as a power vacuum; as long as they see an opportunity, they can take advantage of it.
“You can’t go to the Great Demon Qingtu. Its secret realm is right at the main gate of Jade Capital City.” Immortal Mingke pointed to the remaining six secret realms. “Let’s see which of these six guardian spirits will answer the Earth Mother’s request to fight.”
Venerable Mingyao raised an objection: "But there's still a problem. The secret realm we entered is an illusory place. How can we bring the things we took from the illusory place into reality?"
The boundary between the real and the unreal is clear, just like a person has a wonderful dream of getting rich, but can't bring real money out of the dream, and can't become truly rich.
Immortal Mingke then said, "Secret realms are different from illusions and dreams; they are not entirely fictional. They intersect and are related to reality, even permeating each other. Otherwise, Mother Earth would have no foothold to attack them. Therefore, there are often some physical objects in secret realms that are imbued with the aura of the secret realm, which can conceal our whereabouts."
He Lingchuan agreed with what Mingke Immortal said, because the original form of the Floating Life Blade in his hand, as well as the comb he took out of Zhong Shengguang's house, were both real objects taken from the Panlong Secret Realm.
Immortal Mingke continued, "So the current problem is how to find these things in the secret realm."
They knew very little about the secret realm of Jade Capital City, and the nature of this realm was such that it was difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. Given the limited time available, how could outsiders possibly find the actual object within the secret realm?
What's the difference between that and finding a needle in a haystack?
He Lingchuan immediately said, "Leave this to me. As long as I enter the secret realm, I can find the actual item."
All the immortals' eyes fell on him, but he remained calm and composed.
The immortals could not discern the true extent of this Tiger Wing General's cultivation.
Immortal Mingke knew the Spider Fairy's temperament; she never liked to associate with the weak, and anyone who could come with her must have some skills. Furthermore, judging from the Spider Fairy's casual and natural attitude towards this Tiger Wing General, they must be quite close to each other.
A phoenix does not associate with rats, unless they are monstrous rats.
Furthermore, given the major events that occurred in the Panlong Wasteland, the Nine Nether Emperor directly dispatched General Tiger Wing, demonstrating his trust in him.
Master Chonghui asked suspiciously, "What do you plan to do?"
"The Great Emperor instructed me to retrieve a treasure from the Panlong Secret Realm, which can easily reveal the truth. Using it to find targets within the secret realm will be a piece of cake."
Through the dead leaf butterfly, everyone knew that he and Aunt Zhu had entered the Panlong Secret Realm, so He Lingchuan simply stopped trying to hide it.
The immortals were slightly surprised and asked him, "How confident are you?"
"I dare not say more, but it's probably over 80%."
Venerable Mingyao immediately approved: "Excellent! It's settled then."
"There are still three problems left." Let's tackle them one by one. He Lingchuan asked the immortals, "When entering the Jade Capital City, did you find suitable bird demons among the captives?"
"Three have been selected, but we haven't decided which one to take yet." Captives have no loyalty to speak of; I'm afraid they'll just return to Jade Capital with the Cardamom Garden and then surrender to the Earth Mother.
He Lingchuan knew perfectly well that these immortals were no pushovers either. The demon captives of Jade Capital City who had fallen into their hands were unlikely to escape unscathed. With such a good opportunity, how could he not seek revenge?
So the plan was great, but it got stuck at the very first step.
“I’m afraid we’ll have to use a potent poison or a blood curse to control it,” said Venerable Mingyao. “Actually, the Bewitching Insects can also be used here, since the Earth Mother doesn’t have the ability to see through things like the Great Ghost Qingtu. But we need to get to the secret realm in the city where we can land immediately, and the Bewitching Insects we have will probably have a hard time completing such a difficult task.”
The mind-bending worms they control have limited intelligence; the puppets they manipulate are incapable of performing tasks that require adaptability and strong judgment.
“Perhaps we can also solve this problem.” He Lingchuan glanced at Aunt Zhu, who understood.
In full view of everyone, it actually pulled out of its abdominal pouch—
A little girl!
At five or six years old, with big, round eyes, she looked incredibly cute.
She showed no fear in front of the immortals, her gaze sweeping across each face with the innocence of a child.
He Lingchuan ruffled her hair: "This is Xiao An."
"She..." Chonghui Zhenren tried to find a clue, "She can't be an ordinary human, can she?"
To everyone else, he was just an ordinary child, with flabby muscles, no spiritual power, and no supernatural abilities.
“Of course not.” He Lingchuan turned his head and beckoned to the sentry outside the house. “Come in and draw a drop of blood for me.”
Xiao An is Tong Xun, who escaped from Honglu more than ten years ago. Dong Rui found her and took her in, using every means to help her stabilize her collapsing body. From then on, she stayed by Dong Rui's side.
Tong Xun can freely change his appearance, as long as he understands the object he is imitating well enough. Xiao An's favorite appearance is that of a child, so he has remained that way until now.
The sentry was taken aback. Seeing that Chonghui Zhenren nodded, he went into the house and used a dagger to cut a little blood on the back of his hand.
Xiao An stepped forward, wiped his hand with her finger, and then put the blood into her own mouth.
She smacked her lips twice, as if savoring the taste of blood.
Then, her appearance began to change. She grew taller, her face became longer, her shoulders and back became broader, her hairline began to recede, and she even grew a beard!
Just over ten breaths later, "Xiao An" disappeared, and standing in front of everyone were two identical sentries.
The sentry stared at the other man with a look of astonishment, and the other man's expression was exactly the same as his.
This person was like a mirror image, perfectly mirroring him from the strands of hair to his posture. If it weren't for Xiao An's different clothes, they would look like twins.
"Wait!" Venerable Mingyao expanded his divine sense and swept it over the two people.
"Their auras are exactly the same!" He was also somewhat surprised. "Even the degree to which their cultivation aura is projected is exactly the same."
Xiao An couldn't possibly have the same cultivation level as the Sentinel, but she could simulate it.
“In a way, Xiao An is now a sentinel,” Aunt Zhu said. “If you can be fooled, then the Earth Mother can be fooled. Besides, Jade Capital is still a battlefield, with fighting raging both above and below, and everything is in chaos. The Earth Mother has to focus most of her energy on the battlefield.”
"Can she transform into a bird demon?"
"As long as the size difference isn't too great, you can transform." Xiao An can't transform into a sparrow or a fly, after all, the size difference is there, and even Tong Xun has a shape that he can't imitate.
Immortal Mingke immediately said, "That Azure Feathered Eagle is as tall as a person when it stands up, which is just right."
As she spoke, Xiao An reverted to her original form.
"Xiao An, when the time comes, transform into a Azure Feathered Eagle and lead us into Jade Capital City." He Lingchuan patted her head. "Can you do it?"
