After reading my mind, my mother and my sisters went crazy

Chapter 221 What a beautiful misunderstanding

"Why are you so flustered?"

"A dignified Soul Hall deacon is so unbecoming. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?"

"That's right. Our Puppet Sect is about to become one of the top sects. You guys should do your best and don't lose face for our Puppet Sect!"

Several elders smiled warmly, and as they talked, the topic seemed to be turning to the bright future of the Puppet Sect.

The deacon of the Soul Hall looked left and right anxiously, and could only stare blankly.

In the end, he could only close his eyes and make up his mind.

"Sect Master, Elder, just now, the person guarding Elder Cang Qing's soul lamp came to report that Elder Cang Qing's soul lamp has gone out!"

"Cang Qing, I have watched him grow up since he was a child. He is indeed a capable person... What? What did you say?"

The great elder stroked his beard. He watched Cang Qing grow up, so he could be considered as half his apprentice.

He was just about to brag about this matter.

He vaguely heard the soul lamp go out, and he was so frightened that he shuddered violently and pulled out a lot of his beard.

"In reply to the Great Elder, just now, Elder Cang Qing's soul lamp went out."

The Soul Hall deacon wiped the cold sweat from his head and repeated it again.

For every person who joins the Puppet Sect, a lamp connected to their soul will be created by the people in the Soul Palace. When the lamp goes out, the person will die. This is what is meant by "when a person dies, the lamp goes out".

"how is this possible?"

"In this mere mortal world, is there anyone who can hurt Cang Qing?"

The Great Elder was furious.

"Don't panic, Sect Master, you have the Space-Time Mirror, take it out quickly. What happened before Cang Qing died?"

The elders surrounded the sect leader with anxious looks.

The leader of the Puppet Sect did not refuse and immediately took out a small silver-white mirror from his storage bag.

Everyone injected spiritual power, and soon, the scene of the sky collapsing and the end of the world before Cang Qing's death reappeared.

"Cang Qing, this kid, has almost mastered the Heaven-Destroying Art. Who killed him?"

The Great Elder murmured in confusion.

The next moment, everyone felt a sharp pain in front of their eyes.

A small hand shining with golden light came against the wind and waves, shattering the starry sky and destroying everything with one palm.

Then Cang Qing's chest was filled with blood mist and he was completely turned into powder.

"Who... who is this person? The power of his palm is so terrifying!"

Everyone was shocked.

"The power of a palm is so shocking. Looking at the entire continent, I'm afraid there is only the Palm Alliance..."

The Puppet Sect's leader sighed deeply.

"Our Puppet Sect and Spirit Beast Sect have been subordinate to the Palm Alliance for many years. Now our sect is on the rise, which is definitely not what the Palm Alliance wants to see."

The clan leader looked sad and angry.

"They must have seen that Cang Qing had mastered the new secret method of our Puppet Sect to use humans to refine puppets, and they were worried that we would defeat them in the reshuffle of the nine sects and three schools in a year, so they attacked Cang Qing!"

"Insidious, really insidious!" The great elder was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

"Kill my disciple, Palm Alliance! I will never coexist with you!"

"One day, during the sect competition in a year, I will definitely ask you for your advice!"

The Great Elder said angrily.

"Don't worry, Great Elder. Cang Qing is a hero of our Puppet Sect. Sooner or later, we will settle this account with the Palm Alliance."

The clan leader looked into the distance with a dark look in his eyes and a cold voice.

"Fortunately, they don't know that Cang Qing had the foresight to send back the puppet that was successfully tested. As long as we study it more, we will be able to deduce everything that Cang Qing has mastered."

"However, you must remember that everything must be done quietly. Do not disturb other sects, especially those hypocritical old guys in the Dao Protection Alliance!"

The Great Elder said with a sharp gaze.

"But this may require a large number of mortals. Where can we find so many people in such a short time?"

An elder raised doubts.

When the sect leader heard this, he thought about it for a while.

"It's almost time for the sect master's disciples to gain experience."

"Send them to dress up and go down the mountain."

"If you can capture them, capture them. If you can't, kill them. Just pretend it was done by the enemy country."

There was a gleam of calculation in the eyes of the Puppet Sect's leader.

……

At the same time, in Jinling City, there was laughter and joy.

"Great! Reinforcements have arrived! We don't have to move our entire family."

"Woo woo, that's great, I survived, I survived!"

The people cried with joy and held their heads in their hands.

This was the scene that Jiang Dingguo saw when he entered the city with a group of soldiers and General Xiao Shanling.

The people of Jinling City did not feel the devastation and despair that they had experienced after the war.

Some are just excited and happy.

Jiang Dingguo couldn't help but feel eager.

No wonder my father often said that the Jinling army and civilians are one family, and the people have great trust in Xiao Shanling, Zhu Chi and Tang Shanzhi.

Such trust may not be noticeable in peacetime, but once war breaks out, the difference will become immediately apparent.

Feeling the people lining the streets to welcome him, the usually calm Jiang Dingguo couldn't help but be infected.

"Look, the general next to General Xiao is tall and handsome, very elegant and extraordinary. He is not a simple man. I wonder if he has a wife?"

An old lady looked at Jiang Dingguo and couldn't help but start gossiping excitedly.

"Hahaha, Aunt Wang, are you looking for a date for your niece again?"

Someone in the crowd laughed and joked.

"Hey, look carefully, isn't his facial features quite similar to that of the handsome General Xiaoyao from ten years ago?"

"I remember General Xiaoyao mentioned that he had three sons. This general should be one of General Xiaoyao's sons."

"As expected, a tiger father will have a dog son."

"I heard that General Xiaoyao's family has a clear tradition and follows monogamy. A man can take a concubine only if he is 40 and has no children. I really envy the women who can marry into General Xiaoyao's family..."

Everyone was discussing in a chattering manner.

As the team marched, Jiang Xinlan, dressed in red, holding a red-tasseled spear, sat on the horse's back with a heroic look.

"Wow, look, look, that little girl, who looks only about 11 or 12 years old, is actually in the team. It's true that heroes emerge from youth."

Some sharp-eyed people spotted Jiang Xinlan in the crowd, and the atmosphere of gossip instantly shifted to Jiang Xinlan.

"She is the hero of our family."

Some civilians who were returning with the army, carrying large and small bags, heard people talking about Jiang Xinlan, and immediately turned around and joined the gossip battle.

"You don't know, a group of Xiliang soldiers suddenly attacked the people, and it was this heroine who came with a spear and beat the enemy without leaving a single piece of armor."

This person talked incessantly.

Everyone was chatting excitedly.

At this moment, a burst of shouting and crying could be heard faintly.

"What's going on? Did you hear any loud crying?"

Someone pricked up his ears and listened carefully, then spoke in confusion.

"Yes, yes, I think I heard it too."

"There seemed to be the sound of horse hooves and shouts of killing?"

Those who heard it began to ask in confusion.
