Chapter 147 Burning the Third Elder's Physical Body
Chen Wan'er acted decisively and used her supernatural powers to quickly send a message to Li Wen.
He was instructed to arrange for people outside to hold off the Fourth Elder, while he himself immediately began to deal with the matter of the mysterious magic array above his head.
Strictly speaking, her goal was not to remove the magic circle directly, but to replicate it first and then destroy the original magic circle.
The moment Li Wen received the instruction, he was filled with doubt.
He pondered to himself: How could it be the Fourth Elder?
The Third Elder is clearly the one who has committed numerous evils and wrongdoings, so why is the blame being directed at the Fourth Elder now?
However, given Gao Huohuo's explicit orders, Li Wen knew that Chen Wan'er was no ordinary person and must have a deeper purpose.
So he suppressed his doubts and didn't ask any more questions.
At this moment, the two sides in the courtyard were deadlocked and engaged in fierce bargaining.
The Third Elder was determined to buy the courtyard, while Li Wen and his Blood Demon Sect followers relentlessly raised the price according to their pre-arranged strategy, attempting to disrupt the situation and distract the Third Elder from other matters.
Upon receiving Chen Wan'er's message, Li Wen's mind raced, and he immediately changed his tactics.
Instead of blindly raising prices, they adopted a strategy of feigning indifference, offering the other party a glimmer of hope that seemed attainable.
"How about this!"
The old man that Li Wen was impersonating cleared his throat and slowly made the suggestion.
"We've been talking for so long, let's all compromise. You put all your storage bags here, and we'll just pick the most valuable one from them, how about that?"
Upon hearing this, the Third Elder showed no reaction whatsoever, standing silently like a wooden sculpture, seemingly awaiting some secret instruction.
Seeing that the Third Elder did not answer, the Blood Demon Sect members impatiently urged him on:
"Hey, say something! Do you agree or not? At least give me a straight answer."
Seeing the Third Elder's demeanor again, the Thousand Illusions Sect Master remained unmoved and secretly transmitted his voice to the First Elder:
"Have you noticed that the Third Elder has been acting a bit strange ever since that fierce battle with the Fourth Elder?"
The Grand Elder understood immediately and nodded slightly to the Sect Master.
Then, he gestured to the sect leader to keep a close eye on the fourth elder, while also reminding him not to transmit his voice again to avoid being detected.
As expected, the Fourth Elder frowned, pondered for a moment, and then slowly raised his head.
The Third Elder, like a puppet being manipulated, began to answer:
"My storage pouches are all in the sect, and I don't really have anything valuable on me. Let's continue our discussion as we just agreed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Third Elder instantly reverted to his previous expressionless and cold demeanor.
At this moment, even the meticulous people of the Blood Demon Sect noticed something amiss.
Clearly, the Third Elder was like a puppet being pulled by strings, unable to control his own destiny.
While others were still racking their brains to guess who the real mastermind was, Li Wen already had the answer in his heart.
Meanwhile, the Third Elder, inside the Fourth Elder's body, was currently exerting all his strength, secretly challenging the binding power of the talisman deep within his soul.
Unfortunately, Chen Wan'er had placed a double layer of protection on him: in addition to the puppet talisman, there was also a troublesome immobilization talisman.
At this moment, the Fourth Elder had already broken free from the binding of the immobilization talisman, but the puppet talisman was still like a solid shackle, and he was still a little short of breaking free.
Seeing the suspicious gazes of everyone directed at him, the Third Elder was extremely anxious and could only grit his teeth and accelerate the process of breaking through the talisman.
He cursed viciously in his heart: These damned people in the shadows, once I break through this damned talisman control, I will kill them all, leaving no one alive!
Fortunately, he could already sense that the binding power of the puppet talisman was loosening, and he should be successful soon.
However, the ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny.
Just as he was looking forward to regaining his freedom, he was horrified to find that his body was standing up uncontrollably, and then he walked step by step towards the underground chamber.
He was terrified and could only frantically use his spiritual power to control his physical body, allowing it to continue participating in the negotiations.
When he returned to the underground chamber, he was shocked to find that the magic circle above his head had been successfully revealed.
He was terrified. Just as he was about to take some action to try and cover up the deadly magic array, he felt the spiritual power in his body surge uncontrollably.
He was overjoyed, thinking that he was about to break free from the puppet talisman's restraints and be able to use his spiritual power to cover the magic array.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, there was a loud "boom" and the magic array above his head was destroyed by his own spiritual power.
Before he could even grieve over the destruction of the magic array, something even more terrifying happened next. His body was controlled by an inexplicable force, which slapped him hard.
"Get out! Get out of my body!"
He roared in despair in his heart, feeling that it was all utterly absurd.
At this moment, he is clearly himself inside the body, yet he still has to pretend to be the Fourth Elder and suffer such torment.
Little did they know, the real Fourth Elder had already been beaten to a pulp, his soul and spirit completely destroyed.
However, the earth-shattering roar instantly attracted everyone outside.
Even Ma Qi and the Second Elder arrived at the scene at the critical moment.
As soon as Ma Qi and Gu Jun entered, they searched everywhere for Chen Wan'er, but to no avail.
As they filed in, they happened to hear the Fourth Elder's roar, filled with despair and rage:
"Get out! Get out of my body!"
Everyone immediately became alert, their faces showing vigilance.
They all drew their gleaming weapons in unison, forming a solid barrier as they faced the Fourth Elder with fierce determination.
The Second Elder, who arrived late, was even more enraged. His eyes widened as he glared at the Fourth Elder and roared:
"Who are you? Get out of the Fourth Elder's body right now!"
The Fourth Elder's body trembled slightly, and then a completely different voice came from his mouth, carrying a hint of grievance and resentment:
"Why should I leave? The Fourth Elder always puts on that hypocritical act, yet you all believe him without question!"
Before the words were finished, another trembling and urgent voice rang out:
"Sect Master, please save me! The Third Elder has taken control of my body!"
Hearing the sounds coming from all directions, everyone was taken aback at first, and then their faces showed expressions of sudden realization.
Only the Blood Demon Sect members kindly brought in the Third Elder's physical body. One of them looked around and asked:
"What should we do with his health? Why not just burn him? That would be the end of it, and save us from any unforeseen complications."
Upon hearing this, everyone seemed to be awakened from a dream, and they all came back to their senses.
Yes, as long as his physical body is destroyed, the Third Elder's soul will be like a rootless duckweed, nothing to fear.
Moreover, the Fourth Elder can now lend them a hand in fighting against the Third Elder's soul, which will undoubtedly increase their chances of winning.
Without hesitation, the sect leader swiftly formed hand seals and chanted incantations, unleashing a dazzling burst of magical light.
The raging fireball spell, like a falling meteor, struck the Third Elder's body with pinpoint accuracy.
In the blink of an eye, the flames, like a greedy beast, quickly engulfed the Third Elder's body, the fire raging and crackling.
Just as everyone's attention was drawn to the raging fire, Chen Wan'er took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention and used her spiritual power to quickly tear off his storage bag and put it into her own pocket.
Immediately afterwards, she secretly transmitted her voice to Li Wen, instructing the Blood Demon Sect members to prepare for an immediate retreat.
After all, the puppet talisman could only be maintained for a short time, and she had no intention of staying here any longer.
She thought to herself, "Giving the sect leader and the others a chance to clean house should be a piece of cake for a three-on-one fight!"
But reality gave her a resounding slap in the face; she had far underestimated the Third Elder's overwhelming rage.
After all, watching one's own body being reduced to ashes without being able to do anything about it would engulf anyone in endless rage!
