Soul Devouring Puppet Technique!
“How is that possible?
You definitely weren’t…” Mo Chenfeng said with shock.
“You are Jiuli,” Mo Chenluo asked with a hint of tears in his eyes, his question carrying firm affirmation.
“Little Uncle,” Mo Jiuli did not play coy, calling out directly, fully admitting her identity.
“So it really is you, Jiuli, are you okay?” On hearing this, Mo Chenluo stepped forward, yanking Mo Jiuli close and inspecting her thoroughly.
Mo Jiuli smiled and reassured: “Little Uncle, don’t worry!
I am fine, absolutely fine…”
“Jiuli, are you truly Jiuli?
But Mo Jiuqi claimed that you…” Coming back to himself, Mo Chenfeng said uncertainly.
Three black lines streaked down Mo Chenluo’s forehead at these words.
His elder brother’s intelligence was exasperatingly low.
He even believed in Mo Jiuqi and her mother without question…
Just as Mo Chenluo turned around about to retort, Mo Jiuli suddenly yanked at his sleeve and winked, speaking quietly: “Little Uncle, you are an alchemist, haven’t you noticed something off about our elder uncle?
If I’m not wrong, he is being controlled by someone!”
Upon hearing this, Mo Chenluo was taken aback.
He then pondered over Mo Chenfeng’s character.
However, since he had been at the Alchemy Association for several years, he really did not know much about his big brother, so he could not quite confirm whether his brother was being controlled…
Actually, Jiuli had not noticed this earlier, until just now when she saw Mo Chenfeng standing behind Mo Chenluo who had rushed over excitedly to hug her…
When Mo Chenluo confirmed Jiuli’s identity, Mo Chenfeng’s first response should have been the same excitement and euphoria.
However, Mo Jiuli only saw fleeting excitement and euphoria in his eyes, followed by confusion, struggle, and finally…
skepticism.
Although he also pretended to come over excitedly, Mo Jiuli was convinced that her elder uncle was questioning her identity…
Sure enough, as soon as Jiuli’s thoughts fell into place, she heard Mo Chenfeng say, “Are you really Jiuli?
Where have you been these years?
Five years ago, Jiuqi told me that you…”
A series of questions caused Mo Jiuli to curve a smile on her lips, while the faces of the four Mo family elders as well as Mo Chenluo’s turned grave.
Everyone around them heard the warning sound from Jiuli…
The faces of the four Mo family elders were as dark as a pot bottom!
With Mo Qingtian missing, Mo Chenfeng was undoubtedly the patriarch and the one at the helm of the Mo family.
And now, the person in power in their family was being manipulated by someone else…
Needless to mention what this meant?
It meant that their family was now under someone’s control!
If it wasn’t for Miss Mo noticing that something was amiss, they feared they wouldn’t have discovered the truth until god knows when…
What if they hadn’t come out of their closed-door cultivation this time?
Would their family have been destroyed without their knowledge?
Damn it!
If they learned who was pulling the strings behind the scenes, they would make sure they die without an intact corpse!
The four elders inwardly seethed with anger.
This time, they were truly furious.
They had forgotten for how long they hadn’t been this angry…
“Little Uncle, you go ahead and aim to press the center point at the back of his head, not too hard, hold it without letting go, leave the rest to me!” Mo Jiuli still had a light smile on her face.
As she watched Mo Chenfeng questioning her, she quietly hinted Mo Chenluo.
Mo Chenfeng was also strong.
Though she could restrain him, after all, he was her uncle.
Moreover, under his present state of being controlled by someone else, the moment she approached him, he would resist or attempt to escape…
The manipulator behind the scenes had yet to be caught, so it was safer to tread carefully.
No one here knew about the acupoint array, so she could only briefly explain the specific locations and method to Mo Chenluo…
If Mo Chenluo were the one to act, Mo Chenfeng wouldn’t be as on guard.
After all, playing the part convincingly was crucial.
She believed the perpetrator wouldn’t expose himself in front of Mo Chenluo unless he was a complete idiot…
Mo Chenluo didn’t understand Mo Jiuli’s intention, but he intuitively believed in her decision.
So, he composed himself, turned back and looked at Mo Chenfeng with a cold face, asking, “Big brother, what do you mean by that?”
Upon hearing this, Mo Chenfeng turned towards Mo Chenluo.
With a slightly softer tone, he explained, “Fourth brother, you have always been away from home, so there are some things you are unaware of.
Also, the blood of this girl and Mo Jiuqi at the inn could not be fused together.
Mo Jiuqi is a child who successfully absorbed the essence blood pearl of the Mo Family, bearing our Mo Family’s bloodline.
If this lady really is Mo Jiuli, how on earth could her blood not fuse with Mo Jiuqi’s?”
“Didn’t you smell an unusual scent in Jiuqi’s blood just now, big brother?
Is that the smell that should be present in the Mo Family’s bloodline?” Mo Chenluo replied, then drew a sharp line across his wrist.
Fresh blood began to flow, filling the air with a faint, yet distinct bloody scent…
Mo Chenfeng was dumbfounded, staring at Mo Chenluo in confusion…
Mo Chenluo directly confronted him, saying, “Big brother, can you smell the scent of my blood now?
Does my blood smell the same as Jiuqi’s?
Is she of the Mo Family’s bloodline and I’m not?”
Mo Chenluo’s words left Mo Chenfeng speechless.
Seeing his silent brother, Mo Chenluo took out a bottle of medicine powder and gently sprinkled it on the wound to stop the bleeding…
In the meantime, taking advantage of Mo Chenfeng’s momentary contemplation, Mo Chenluo moved swiftly behind him, pressing a hand to the back of Mo Chenfeng’s head.
Realizing someone was close by, the instinctively wary Mo Chenfeng started to resist, but suddenly his body grew weak, and he collapsed, sitting powerlessly on the ground…
Whirling around in anger to glare at Mo Chenluo, he could only do so for a fleeting moment.
The moment Mo Chenluo pressed his finger against the back of his head, Mo Chenfeng was struck by a sharp pain in his brain…
Next, his vision darkened, coinciding with the scream that sounded from outside…
Xue Feng’s figure vanished for a moment and when he reappeared, he was holding a black shadow, very similar to the one the Royal Ancestor had captured at the inn…
The only difference was that the black shadow in Xue Feng’s hand did not dissipate into black smoke.
It was trapped in a ball of red light, struggling desperately…
“Master, this is the Soul Devouring Puppet Technique!
To fully awaken your uncle, you must consume the black shadow in Xue Feng’s hand after refining it into a pill,” Little Book said from within the space, directly responding upon seeing what Xue Feng was holding.
Moreover, Mo Jiuli noticed something unusual.
Small Book, who always had an air of superiority, spoke about the Soul Devouring Puppet Technique with unprecedented seriousness.
That surely signified that this thing was not trivial.
She intended to inquire about it properly when she had the opportunity…
“Will there be any problems if I eat this?” Mo Jiuli asked with disdain, looking at the constantly writhing black shadow in Xue Feng’s hand.
