The cave is actually myself

Chapter 144
outside the building.

Not long after, a monk followed the guidance of the piece of paper and came nearby.

Since the piece of paper was closely related to the fourth-grade Earth Fire Heart Lotus in the secret realm, monks immediately tried to enter the building to find out.

A simple formation was arranged outside the building, which was better than nothing for monks present who were at least advanced in Qi training or even in the foundation building stage. Many monks soon broke through to the building.

The inner structure is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, making it extremely difficult to enter. This situation naturally made many monks find it abnormal. With concerted efforts, they successfully broke through the layout inside the building.

The moment they first entered, before they had time to sigh at the gloomy paper houses scattered throughout the building, more than a dozen red and green paper figures sneered and rushed toward everyone.

"There are so many weird things gathering in Cangxing City?!"

"Hurry up and notify the city guards. What are those people doing? There are so many weird things right under your nose that you haven't noticed yet!"

The monks were shocked and angry, and all their magic weapons and talismans came out to attack the floating paper people.

Soon, fierce fighting attracted more monks. The number of red and green paper figures was far less than that of the human monks, and they fell into a disadvantage.

Seeing that he had been discovered by the monks, the existence in the center suddenly woke up. A huge paper house was quickly formed, and the Yin Qi was raging. The huge paper house had a radius of several hundred feet and became a forest hell in the blink of an eye. The skin of many monks naturally turned into paper. Pieces of gray skin shattered and fell to the ground.

"Is this... a disaster-level monster?"

Some monks exclaimed, the level of disaster was weird, it was equivalent to a pill-forming monk, it was a disaster, it was very scary.

The weirdness at the center has not yet appeared. Just the exposed paper house defeated all the monks present and retreated steadily.

Dozens of high-level Qi-training monks have completely shattered into countless gray-white fragments and merged into the huge paper house. Only the foundation-building monks are still struggling to support them. It seems that it is only a matter of time before they follow the footsteps of the high-level Qi-training monks.

Lu Yuan saw this scene from a distance and couldn't help but feel scared.

I didn't expect that I might be watched by a disaster-level monster. With all the power of the cave, if I were to face this disaster-level paper man head-on, I might not be able to escape unscathed.

We can only huddle in the core area of ​​​​the cave and see how long the Star Dou Sword Formation and Taiqing Restriction can be maintained.

However, fortunately, by borrowing the paper man's original aura, he attracted many foundation-building monks from large organizations and powerful forces, exposing the disaster-level paper man hidden in Cangxing City to everyone's eyes and diverting the conflict.

His mind controlled the little paper man, letting him act according to the situation and be cautious. At the same time, he stepped back a certain distance so that he could watch the end of the battle in a safer manner.

At this moment, a majestic voice sounded above the huge paper house.

"The beast is hiding in Cangxing City and acting wantonly, murdering the lives of monks. You should die!"
Before he finished speaking, nine dark purple thunderbolts descended from the sky and struck down on the huge paper house with great force.

Under the impact of the thunder, the huge paper house had nine huge cracks, emitting dark purple smoke.

A giant paper man shot out from the building, with countless ghosts and resentments floating on his body. Thunder suddenly appeared, chasing after the giant paper man.

Two alchemy monks came to the building from the inner city in an instant. One of them cleaned up the remaining red and green paper figures, and the other chased them in the direction in which the giant paper figure escaped.

The few remaining foundation-building monks were still thinking about the fourth-grade Earth Fire Heart Lotus. After all the paper figures were cleaned up, they entered the building to explore.

After turning over the many paper houses in the building, only some skinny and dying monks were found, and nothing else was found.

"Do fellow Taoists still remember the mysterious paper man found in that secret realm?"

"The piece of paper has a lot to do with the mysterious paper man. This time we came here based on the guidance of the paper. Do you think there is some special connection between the mysterious paper man and this disaster-level weirdness?"

A monk guessed.

"No matter what, the piece of paper is closely related to the fourth-grade Fire Heart Lotus in the secret realm. Even if you don't get anything when you come here, it will still pass if you guide it next time."

Ma Mingyuan returned to his home and checked several layouts in the house according to his usual habits.

His status in Xuanyu Tower has been continuously improved after several explorations and meritorious services. Now he lives and practices much closer to the inner city than before.

The city guards patrol the area day and night, making the surrounding security safer and more reliable. At the same time, the spiritual energy is purer, and the cultivation speed is much faster than before.

"I don't know what the relationship between the paper man's lair just now and the paper man seniors in the secret realm are..."

Ma Mingyuan was lying on the bed, thinking about everything that happened during the day, and couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.

The piece of paper on his body was handed over to the foundation-building monks of Xuanyu Tower after he came out of the secret realm, so he was not involved in this incident. Only later did he learn the detailed information about the paper man building.

However, after hearing that most of the Xuanyulou monks in the past were killed and injured, and that all the Qi-training monks were wiped out, he felt very lucky to have escaped the disaster.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a cold air spreading in the room.

"Who?!"

Ma Mingyuan was very alert and immediately jumped up from the bed, several talismans slipping into his hands.

What came into view was a familiar paper figure, covered with a black leaf, looking at Ma Mingyuan with empty eyes.

"senior?"

Ma Mingyuan asked with some uncertainty. After experiencing the strange paper man incident during the day, he didn't absolutely believe that such a paper man appeared beside him by chance.

"It's me." The little paper man stretched his arms and wrote two words on his body.

Seeing the familiar way of communication, Ma Mingyuan felt relieved.

"How did senior enter Cangxing City? You must know that a strange incident of paper dolls broke out just now, and now the whole city is focusing on this incident, looking everywhere for the figure of that disaster-level paper doll."

He said with some worry in his words.

Sensing Ma Mingyuan's concern, Lu Yuan was satisfied, and the little paper man pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth.

"Don't worry, I don't have a problem. On the contrary, this incident has a lot to do with me. There is also some disagreement between me and the disaster-level paper man."

After seeking benefits for the cave many times and obtaining important information, Ma Mingyuan has a lot of trust in Lu Yuan's heart. He also revealed something about the detonation of the disaster-level paper doll lair this time, but did not tell him the details.

"Sure enough, this incident has something to do with the secret realm. As expected of the senior paper man, he turned his hands into clouds and his hands into rain, and played with a disaster-level weirdo and the monks of Cangxing City in the palm of his hand."

Ma Mingyuan lowered his head and thought, admiring him in his heart for making the two enemies in the secret realm fight each other effortlessly. He is worthy of being a senior paper man!
