Chapter 291 Puppets & Devil

Next moment, Lin Lee's pupils shrank, looking at the puppets raising their arms and aiming at him; instantly dark mist loomed around these arms, and a lot of dark needles with an ominous aura shot out toward him.

Lin Lee raised his brow, looking at the sharp, piercing needles zooming in front of his eyes.

Bang! Bang!! Bang!!!

Next moment, all the needles pierced through the bridge, releasing a loud sound toward the surrounding area, along with the sound dust scattered around.

Swish!!!

Instantly the puppets were startled seeing a long dust line toward the left as if something ran toward that direction, just as they were aiming toward that direction.

Instantly all puppets froze in place,

"Found it. You really are the emotion weapons attached to someone, which means someone nearby is controlling you all."

Lin Lee muttered thoughtfully; he was unknowingly standing behind all the puppets in the air while observing a few threads in his control.

These threads are invisible and made from special emotion powers belonging to their master, but these threads are broken at the edges, which means he can't track the person who controls these puppets.

Click! Click!! Click!!!

Instantly, Lin Lee's ears shook hearing some kind of mechanism activated inside the puppets bodies in front of him; a huge crisis premonition spread through his heart.

Lin Lee stepped on the emotion aura in the hardly and backed away, then let his body free fall toward the river below.

Swish!

A whistling sound spread, and Lin Lee's figure fell toward the water surface below straight, just before reaching the surface, a huge blast sound spread from above with thousands of dark, ominous needles piercing toward all directions.

Bang! Bang!! Bang!!!

One by one, those puppets burst, and surrounding houses, bridges, and lamps, everything, were pierced through.

Instantly commotion spread, and figures started appearing one by one, by jumping through the roofs,

"It's an attack; hurry up; someone has been attacked."

Few guards teams also appeared hearing the candidates words; they started looking around and then ordered,

"Hurry up, back away from this place; the dao disciples are coming. How dare someone make a move inside the dao sect?"

The captain guard roared, looking at the crowd, seeing more and more candidates were coming.

"Someone here is dead."

Instantly a voice sounded, and the captain guard and other crowd glanced in the direction of the house with a candidate standing outside it; he was the one who just shouted.

"Check these houses; see if anyone is injured inside." The captain spoke, looking at the guards team, and then walked toward the house solemnly.

After looking at the dead person inside, his face changed seeing the whole body is turned black, while a black needle pierced through his shoulder.

"Stay away from these needles; they contain evil."

The captain guard roared, looking at the dark needles piercing the surrounding walls and ground; a fear flashed through his eyes.

Instantly the guards and remaining candidates were frightened hearing evil; they hurriedly backed away while exclaiming fearfully,

"Evil? It's those devils; definitely it's their doing; only they dare to attack someone on the sect ground."

The disciple and guards whispered with pale faces and worry spreading through their hearts; a gloomy atmosphere spread through the surrounding

Instantly, a few figures appeared, some flying with wings, some stepping on swords, and some grabbing the sticks; they landed in front of the disciple, each one of them with momentum greater than the master of the path, as if they had reached the limit and they would master the second path anytime soon.

The crowd of candidates and guards fell silent and then backed away, and then the guard saluted respectfully, "We have seen dao disciples."

One of the disciples hanging with a stick spoke domineeringly, "What happened here?"

The captain guard was startled and then walked forward and reported solemnly,

"Dao disciple Ru, we heard a commotion, and upon arrival we found out that there is a devil lurking in the sect, and he attacked someone. These needles contain the evil power, and one of the candidates died in the house."

The Dao disciple's pupil shrank, and then they noticed the dark needles in the surroundings; their expression became solemn.

Then the other Dao disciple with a sword walked forward toward the house solemnly, looking at the dead body inside and its characteristics; instantly he fell silent, and other Dao disciples also fell silent.

They glanced at each other, and then the Dao disciple with the sword glanced at the other disciple and spoke,

"It seems we have to report to the inner sect; only the master of the second path and above can deal with this evil mess."

The sword dao disciple spoke, and the other disciple also nodded one by one agreeing that reporting will be a good idea.

The sword dao disciple then waved his hand toward the guards and the candidates,

"You all can return to your residence and posts; also, don't touch these dark needles; we will deal with this mess, and the sect will give an official statement regarding this attack tomorrow."

After speaking, he grabbed the jade from his waist and walked toward the corner of the building and started informing the higher-ups in the sect, while the candidates and guards turned and left; all of them returned to their posts and residences.

On the other hand,

The stream passing by the resident area, the water surface rippled, and a figure landed on the edge calmly.

"It seems I am losing my vigilance because of overconfidence in my strength."

Lin Lee muttered thoughtfully, waved his hand, and water was removed from his clothes, making them dry.

Then he glanced at the resident area in front of him,

'What kind of power was augmented on these needles? It was as if it were completely negative and chaotic power. I also felt a huge crisis from that ominous power; it seems I have encountered something interesting; it will be fun dismantling such power.'

Lin Lee thought to himself intriguingly and then walked forward toward his residence.

…

A week passed away in a whim,

Inside one of the resident villas,

Lin Lee, sitting cross-legged calmly, suddenly opened his eyes; a deep luster flashed through his eyes, looking at the sunlight passing through the window and falling on the room floor.

'I have reached the limit of the second path; just a while, and I will master the third path. Definitely because of that restlessness a few days ago, I gathered a lot of emotional power; everyone's mood was tense these days, and also I didn't expect there to be devils who can absorb negative emotion and master the evil path and power; their evil powers are really ominous; it can corrode the normal emotional power upon contact; that's why everyone is so frightened by the devil presence.'

Lin Lee thought to himself intriguingly, then grabbed his chin and muttered thoughtfully,

"It seems only a master of the third path and above can remove that devil power, and also if there is really a devil, then why did it attack only me?"

Lin Lee furrowed his brow and thought about the reason behind the devil attack, then he shook his head, ignored it, and glanced in the outside direction of the window.

"The second exam will start soon; I have to go." Lin Lee muttered and then left the villa, walking toward the resident villa of the emperor Yu.

"Master Yi, you are here. Let's go; the second exam will begin soon; we shouldn't be late."

The emperor Yu spoke with hurried expression on his face.

Lin Lee nodded and then walked forward, saying, "Let's go. Don't worry; we won't be late."

The emperor Yu nodded and then remembered something and said,

"Master Yi, I wanted to say that you should be careful during the third exam; the third exam is based on strength; also, it tests your character. You must not believe anyone, although your father passed the second test, but he was almost on the verge of death in the third; he was approached and then betrayed by one of the candidates."

Emperor Yu reminded solemnly while walking beside him,

Lin Lee raised his brow and then asked thoughtfully, "What do you mean by betrayal'?

Do you know that candidate name from the previous examination?"

Emperor Yu hesitated and then said, "Although I didn't want to tell you, after seeing those with the surname Fan approaching you, I have decided to tell you that the candidate who betrayed your father also had the wordFan in his surname; that's how I came to know the hidden family of the Air Empire."

Lin Lee raised his brow hearing his words and then nodded and walked forward toward the examination hall.

Soon they reached the examination venue, looking at the crowd at the entrance of the examination area.

"It seems they are checking everyone entering the examination area; probably the devil incident a few days ago alarmed the higher-ups."

Emperor Yu commented thoughtfully, and then both of them, following the crowd, moved through the entrance.
