The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

Through the brief introduction by these elders, Chen Subaru came up with the idea of ​​going to sea himself if he had the opportunity in the future.

However, the current emergency situation did not allow him to indulge in irrelevant fantasies, so he took out the magical weapon of Qinglong Fort. This is a mysterious mirror similar to the bronze mirror of the Han Dynasty. The mirror surface is smooth, and there is a hole in the center of the back for placing spiritual stones or injecting spiritual power. Surrounding the central hole is a twelve-bead pattern button base, and the outer ring is decorated with a snake pattern symbolizing the four elephants. The four snake patterns are separated by four breast nails.

This magic mirror has four functions. When it needs to be activated, it can direct the spiritual power to the breast nails corresponding to the snake pattern. Each function is divided into twelve spiritual levels according to the amount of spiritual power injected, and the corresponding twelve beads pattern button will also light up according to the spiritual level.

When the spiritual circuit representing the blue dragon is activated, the bronze mirror can detect puppets disguised as monks within a fixed range. The White Tiger circuit can detect demon infected persons and poisoning levels in different ranges based on the size of the spirit level. The Suzaku circuit can target a single identified puppet, causing it to temporarily lose control under the irradiation of the magic mirror. The Xuanwu circuit can target a single monk who has been affected by the demon seed and make him get rid of the demon seed's control.

Typically, these four loops operate independently. But in a crisis situation, the magic weapon also has a special mode, which is to activate four circuits at the same time at the maximum continuous spiritual level to generate a phantom array that can affect the detection range. This phantom array does not require anyone to host it, and the spiritual power is exhausted. Or when the phantom formation is broken, the magic mirror will destroy itself due to overload operation of the circuit. This magical weapon was named "Puppet-seeking Mirror" by the craftsmen.

Chen Subaru used the blue dragon and white tiger functions of the "puppet-seeking mirror" to scan all the coalition monks, including his old acquaintances Su Lingyin and Li Yuzhen. After completing the scan, he fell into deep thought.

Xue'er, who felt Chen Subaru's emotional changes, asked via telepathy: "Master, did you discover something?"

Chen Subaru replied: "I did find something. Su Lingyin doesn't seem to have this 'puppet-finding mirror', and there are no human puppets in her team. It seems that she should have those magic weapons that can detect human puppets made by Qinglong Fort before." .”

Xueer asked doubtfully: "Since there is no one, why is the master so troubled?"

Chen Subaru replied: "It is said that these magical weapons made by Qinglongwei are because they do not know the principles and composition of demon seeds and cannot identify demon seeds at all. And those high-quality puppets are no different from other monks except having demon seeds. Therefore, It is also difficult to find hidden high-quality puppets. However, this 'puppet-finding mirror' is an improved magic weapon made by the craftsmen after studying a large number of human puppets with the help of this Beifu Army operation. Although it still cannot directly identify high-quality puppets, High-quality human puppets, but they can discover those monks contaminated by demonic species. Based on these contaminated monks, clues to the whereabouts of high-quality puppets can be found."

After listening to Chen Subaru's explanation, Xue'er continued to ask: "Then what can Master find out just now?"

Chen Subaru replied with a gloomy face: "There are indeed some people in Su Lingyin's team who have been contaminated."

Xue'er immediately understood Chen Subaru's concerns, so she asked, "Is the master afraid that once he starts targeting these contaminated monks, he might alert others?"

Chen Subaru replied: "Yes, I can't tell whether the high-quality puppet is hidden among these monks. Now the demon soldiers have crossed Wanning County, and most of them have entered the island defense formation arranged by Elder Qin and others. Once If something goes wrong on our end, it could have very serious consequences."

"Master, Xue'er feels that the high-quality puppet is not among this group of coalition monks." Xue'er asserted.

Chen Subaru was aroused by Xue'er's words and asked, "Oh? Tell me?"

Xue'er analyzed: "First of all, no matter whether it is the demon soldiers, the saints or the Xuanwu army, they don't know that the owner has a magic weapon like the 'Puppet Seeking Mirror'. According to the owner, the Qinglong Guard has just made such a magic weapon." It may be the first time that the weapon has been put into actual combat in the hands of the owner, so these contaminated monks are exposed to the owner, and it can be determined that it is not a conspiracy; secondly, the demon soldiers and this coalition team do not know that we will appear here, let alone Knowing the arrival of Lord Xiao Ling, their expected enemy must be the Jingzhou Army and possible coalition support, so the possibility of planning in advance is greatly reduced; furthermore, if the master is sure that Su Lingyin is not contaminated, it can almost be concluded that That high-quality puppet is not in this team of monks. If further confirmation is needed, the master can investigate the background of these contaminated monks, and maybe he can find some clues."

Chen Subaru nodded when he heard this. He immediately made a decision and sent a message to Su Lingyin and the two god-changing elders to suppress the contaminated monks first.

Although Su Lingyin didn't understand what Chen Subaru's intention was in transmitting the message, there was Li Ke among them. She thought it was Chen Subaru who wanted to meet his old friend, but being alone and alone was too suitable, so she marked him with his spiritual consciousness and gave instructions. All were brought to the designated location.

Although Chen Subaru couldn't hold his breath freely, there was no problem at all in hiding his sword intent and cultivation when he wasn't fighting.

When he saw Su Lingyin leading Li Ke and his group in front of him, a familiar yet unfamiliar aura emanated from Li Ke and others. This is a kind of breath that cannot be detected with spiritual consciousness at all, at least with his current spiritual consciousness, even if it is superimposed multiple times, it cannot be detected at all.

Chen Subaru showed an expression of surprise on his face as if he had met an old friend he had not seen for a long time. He cupped his hands and said, "Senior Sister Yuzhen and Senior Sister Biyun, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Wen Ruo is being polite."

Su Lingyin only knew that Chen Subaru and Li Ke had experienced life and death together in Wuchang Small World. She did not know that he had also met Li Ke's junior sister Qin Qing before, so she had not mentioned it before. As soon as Chen Subaru brought these monks into his consciousness, he recognized Qin Qing with snow-white hair.

Now when the two people appeared in front of him, Chen Subaru not only felt a special aura, but also saw that their eyes had lost the clarity they had before.

Although many monks lose vigor in their eyes after experiencing too many lives and deaths, what they lose is not only vigor, but also vitality. According to Su Lingyin, they were dealing with brutal demon soldiers in the hinterland of Yizhou. , if even the will to live has been worn away, it is unlikely that they will survive until now.

The two women were just as Chen Subaru expected. Although they tried their best to show off their joy at seeing their old friends, their expressions were so stiff that it was hard not to let people see the flaws. Even Su Lingyin frowned slightly.

Chen Subaru did not intend to waste time. He adjusted the puppet-seeking mirror to the Xuanwu circuit and injected spiritual power into the hole on his back. When the spiritual level reached level eight, the mirror aimed at Li Ke emitted a black spiritual light. When the black spiritual light shone on Li Ke's body, a golden light suddenly burst out from her body in an attempt to fight against the spiritual light.

Seeing this scene, the monks still couldn't understand what was happening. Golden light erupted from an individual's body, with a ferocious look on his face. However, the aura they just erupted was instantly suppressed by a force, and each one Although the individual looked fierce, he could not move at all.

Su Lingyin noticed the strangeness in the atmosphere and was confused, but she didn't dare to act rashly because her consciousness felt the pressure of the two god-forming elders. She cast a questioning look at Chen Subaru: "Young Master Wen Ruo, what does this mean?"

After the spiritual level of the "Puppet-Seeking Mirror" in Chen Subaru's hand reached the tenth level, the aura greatly increased. He said calmly: "These monks have been contaminated by the demonic seeds of high-grade puppets."

Su Lingyin understood immediately. She saw the magic mirror in Chen Subaru's hand emitting a more intense black aura, while the golden light on Li Ke gradually faded, turned into gray and then dissipated. At the same time, the vitality was also rapidly disappearing.

Chen Subaru noticed this change and immediately sent a message to Su Lingyin: "When the golden light dissipates, please ask Fellow Daoist Su to take action to save her life."

Su Lingyin frowned, but finally nodded.

When the golden light outside Li Ke's body became weak, Chen Subaru lowered the spiritual level of the magic mirror to level nine, slowing down the dissipation of the golden light to prevent Su Lingyin from missing the rescue opportunity.

After a period of observation, Su Lingyin gradually grasped the consumption pattern of the confrontation between black aura and golden light. When the golden light completely dissipated, Li Ke seemed to have lost all vitality and fell to his knees. Su Lingyin immediately flashed behind her, stabilized her shaky body, and injected a burst of spiritual power into Li Ke's completely drained spirit body, forcibly activating her and slowing down the dissipation of the last ray of life.

Noticing Chen Subaru's approach, Su Lingyin sighed: "This demon species is extremely insidious. It not only pollutes the monk's body, but also touches the source of life. If we remove the pollution, it is tantamount to consuming the monk's life."

Chen Subaru checked Li Ke's condition, sighed, and decided not to try to save the others. Instead, he sent a message to the two god-forming elders and asked them to make the others temporarily unconscious.

After Su Lingyin locked the last bit of life in Li Ke, she took out a pill from the storage ring, wrapped it with spiritual power, and forced it into Li Ke's mouth. Chen Subaru recognized it at a glance. It was the "Nine Transformations Resurrection Pill", which he had obtained at the Tianjiao Festival.

After the power of the pill took effect in Li Ke's body, she sighed softly, shook her head and said: "Young Master Wenruo, Fellow Daoist Li's vitality has been exhausted. This has reached the level of laws and there is nothing I can do. The Nine-turn Resurrection Pill can only stabilize the soul. There is no way to restore the life that has disappeared. When she wakes up, if you have any questions, please ask as soon as possible. She does not have much time."

After hearing this, Chen Subaru roughly understood that the demon seed should have been created by the Huanchen Sect using the power of some kind of law. It is no wonder that the Qinglong Guard has been unable to find a way to discover the demon seed.

After Su Lingyin finished speaking, she injected another spiritual power into Li Ke's body to catalyze the power of the elixir. In an instant, all the power of the medicine was fully activated. Under the strong stimulation, Li Ke slowly opened his eyes.
