Peerless God King

Seeing that the Third Elder had woken up, Tang Feng put down the worry in his heart, and then said to the Third Elder in a deep voice.    

He did not want to do this unless the situation required it. However, even if this was the best way to protect himself, it was also the best way to protect the Third Elder.    

Judging from the situation with the Peak Heavenly Sovereign Stage back then, the chess piece definitely did not end up well in the hands of those people.    

"Ha ha, it would be worth it if an old bones like me could do something for you."    

Although his body was currently quite weak, the third elder still had a smile on his face. The moment he woke up, his face was filled with astonishment. Seeing that Tang Feng was listening to what he said, not only did the Third Elder not blame him in the slightest, he was even overjoyed.    

Although the entire matter was exactly as Tang Feng had said he was innocent, it was difficult for him to get past the hurdle in his heart. However, he was naturally willing to do anything that would help Tang Feng in his next actions.    

Forget about living, even if he truly died, as long as it would help Tang Feng, he wouldn't have any complaints.    

It was just that with regards to the so called Puppet Shield Finger, it caused a cold killing intent to appear on the Third Elder's face. If not for the good fortune Tang Feng had this time, he might have really become the final killer. No matter what he did, he did not care about it at all. However, Tang Feng did not have the slightest intention to persecute him.    

"Third Uncle, Tang Feng has already broken the puppet on your body, so you don't have to worry about anything else."    

The Nine Nether Sparrow at the side also let out a smile on her face as she spoke slowly to the Third Elder. The Third Elder's heart warmed when he heard the Nine Nether Sparrow's words, and he nodded.    

Although he did not say much, how could Tang Feng not know. The Third Elder most likely recognized the Nine Nether Sparrow from the bottom of his heart, after all, that Third Uncle was not the Third Elder.    

This girl.    

He didn't notice that there was actually such a thing going on.    

"The Puppet Shield Finger is indeed powerful, but it also has its own drawbacks. It's just that it's not easy to use."    

Since the Third Elder had woken up, Tang Feng naturally wanted to know the truth of the entire matter. In order to truly implement the Puppet Shield, the key point was to insert needles into the recipient's body without the recipient resisting. The needles would stimulate the recipient's acupuncture points, and then, a special Soul Power would be injected into the recipient's acupuncture points.    

This Soul Power would need to remain in the recipient's body for forty-nine days before it could completely merge with the recipient's body. Only then would it be possible to gradually begin controlling it at a later stage.    

Therefore, according to this calculation, it had been at least half a year since the Third Elder fell for this so-called puppet shield.    

The source of all this was the person who had used this tactic on the Third Elder. Since the other party was able to get close to the Third Elder, it was naturally also easily able to get close to Tang Shu and the others. This was what Tang Feng was most worried about.    

Fortunately, the Third Elder and the others had Saint Stage Level, so it was not easy to get close to them. Adding on to that, under the situation where he did not resist at all, and poured the Soul Power into them, it was sufficient to prove that the entire matter was done by someone they were very familiar with.    

This person might not be one of Tang Feng's core members, but he was at least an existence that was close to Third Elder and the others. If that was the case, then the range of the attack would be very small. They naturally believed that the Third Elder could roughly guess that person's identity.    

As expected, after Tang Feng had finished speaking, the Third Elder also closed his eyes slightly, as if he was recalling something. Seeing this, the Nine Nether Sparrow did not make a sound, but a few ripples surfaced in the deepest part of his seemingly calm eyes.    

Anyone who attempted to pose a threat to Tang Feng would become the Nine Nether Sparrow's greatest enemy. She definitely would not be able to protect him in the slightest.    

"It's Mu Jie!"    

Suddenly, when the Third Elder opened his eyes, his expression became extremely serious.    

Mu Jie? Tang Feng frowned slightly as he muttered this unfamiliar name. When he looked at the Nine Nether Sparrow, he realized that the Nine Nether Sparrow was shaking its head too. It was obvious that they had never heard of this name before.    

"Strictly speaking, this Mu Jie is not a person of my Tang Mansion, nor is he a person of Ancient Time Sect. He is a disciple of Spirit Mountain Academy, and should be said to be the most outstanding disciple in Spirit Mountain Academy in these few years."    

With regards to Tang Feng, who was not aware of the fact that Mu Jie was the Third Elder, he was not the least bit surprised.    

Back then, when Tang Feng established and built the Tang Mansion, other than migrating over the Tang Family and Tang Family, he also brought a group of Spirit Mountain Academy's elders over as well. These elders were all at the Peak Mystic Stage, and borrowing the aura and fortuitous encounters within the Ancient Relic, many people managed to break through to the Saint Stage Level. Thus, they were able to quickly raise and increase the strength of their Tang Mansion.    

In addition to the relationship between Tang Feng and the Spirit Mountain Academy, and in order to have a better successor for the younger generation, Tang Shu and the others would also discuss with the Spirit Mountain Academy and would regularly arrange for some outstanding Spirit Mountain Academy disciples to come here to train and cultivate.    

This effect was quite good. Many disciples had their Tang Mansion raised by an enormous amount, and some of the disciples had even stayed in the Tang Mansion, in a situation where it could be said that they had a win-win situation.    

And this Mu Jie, was precisely the person whom the Spirit Mountain Academy had recommended to him back then.    

It was said that this Mu Jie was only eighteen years old this year, but his strength had already reached the level of Mystic Rotatory Pulse Stage. In the entire Spirit Mountain Academy, he was quite outstanding.    

This was because Tang Mansion was also a form of resource favoring him.    

If the matter that Tang Feng had mentioned today did not occur, then Mu Jie's Tang Mansion would have gradually become a core member, and his strength would have risen even more quickly.    

This Mu Jie seemed to be extremely obedient and honest, as he would usually suffer in order to cultivate in the future. He would never become proud because of his own Inherent Skill, and he would even repeatedly ask the Rankers from Tang Mansion about the way of cultivation.    

This was also the reason why the third elder was so interested in him. In addition, this child was helping him with some manual labor from time to time, making the third elder more interested in him. Thus, the third elder would give him pointers from time to time.    

If he remembered correctly, more than half a year ago, he had once massaged several times. That kind of massaging method was passed down in the clan according to Mu Jie's words, and it indeed made one feel a lot more relaxed. And this, was also the only opportunity for Elder Ye to let his opponent come in contact with him without resisting or relaxing.    

"But if that's really the case, it's impossible for me to not notice the acupuncture."    

Suddenly, the Third Elder asked again. He had just heard from Tang Feng that the only way to succeed was if the other party didn't resist in a clear-headed state.    

However, if the other party were to place the needles on him, would the Third Elder agree?    

"If what the Third Elder said is true, then this Mu Jie must have a huge problem."    

Zhang Xuan shook his head. Since the other party was able to massage the third elder's body, as long as he was able to do it stealthily, it was more than enough for the third elder to do it unwittingly.    

After all, the Third Elder was only at the early stage of Saint Stage. Adding on to that, he was completely unprepared against a child's massage, so the massage itself had its own heaviness. As long as he took the acupuncture properly, it would be normal for the Third Elder to not discover it.    

"Is he still in contact with the others?"    

This was what Tang Feng was truly worried about. One Third Elder was already enough to give Tang Feng a headache. If the other few elders had fallen for this method, then things would become truly troublesome.    

After all, according to the Nine Nether Sparrow, those who knew of this method were extremely few in number, and it would not be easy to resolve it by controlling it. If Tang Feng were to make a move, the Nine Nether Sparrow would probably be exposed, or at least be suspected.    

But at the moment, Tang Feng did not wish for his identity as a Nine Nether Sparrow to be exposed.    

"Tang Shu had put all his attention into managing the Tang Mansion, so he definitely did not have the time to do so. Seventh Brother's words never had a cold toward Spirit Mountain Academy's disciples, so the probability was higher.    

"However, Qin Shi might need to pay attention to him, since his situation is rather special, and if Mu Jie wants to find him, it might not be impossible."    

Qin Shi himself could not possibly be compared with the Third and Seventh Elder, so if the disciples of Spirit Mountain Academy were to find him, they presumably would not immediately reject him either.    

This way, it would definitely give Mu Jie some chances.    

As for the other Three Sovereign Stage Level warriors, Tang Feng was not worried. After all, using the Puppet Shield Finger on the Three Sovereign Stage Level was already an extremely difficult task. In addition, the Three Sovereign Stage Expert itself was one with the world, so concealing the Nine Souls was obviously very difficult as well.    

If everything was controlled by Mu Jie, the target he chose was most likely Saint Stage Level.    

"What are you going to do next?"    

Ever since Tang Feng had feigned to kill him earlier, the Third Elder had known clearly that if it was really Mu Jie, Tang Feng would definitely not kill him.    

A single Mu Jie was not enough to garner the attention of either Tang Feng or the Tang Mansion. What they truly cared about was the person behind all of this, and what was his goal?    

"A disciple of the Spirit Mountain Academy? I can be considered to be fellow disciples of the same sect. Naturally, I will take good care of you, junior apprentice-brother. "    

Tang Feng's mouth formed a curve, but this smile was enough to make people's hearts chill.    

Ye Zichen squinted his eyes. It seemed like things weren't as simple as he had imagined.    

"For this period of time, please allow the Third Elder to train here. I will arrange for Xiao Ling to protect you secretly. After all, you can't tell anyone else about what happened to the Third Elder. "    

"It's time to clean up the Tang Mansion now."    

Since that was the case, he might as well truly clean up some Tang Mansion.    

If even his own foundation was unstable, how could he face an even stronger expert?
