Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?!

Chapter 213: Chapter 205: The Good Days Are All Ahead_2

Fan Yue never expected the Dayan Sect to be so resolute.

They came straight up wanting to teach Hehuan Sect a lesson.

“Chen, you are not aware. There is a slight gap between the strength of my Shadow Puppet Sect and that of Hehuan Sect. It’s not very convenient for us to cause trouble at Hehuan Sect,” said the Elder.

Jiang Cheng said, “I think Hehuan Sect is also aware of this point.”

The members of the Shadow Puppet Sect were startled, thinking to themselves: it seems to be true! Hehuan Sect probably did not expect them to dare make a move.

Jiang Cheng spoke again, “If you think attacking Hehuan Sect is too risky, I’ll teach you a foolproof strategy.”

“What foolproof strategy?”

“The Demonic Tao is not just Hehuan Sect alone; you can find another major sect and join forces with them to strike at Hehuan Sect.”

The Great Elder hesitated, “But we might not be able to keep the benefits from the talismans then.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Other Demon Sects aren’t fools either, why would they join you against Hehuan Sect without sufficient benefits?

Jiang Cheng curiously said, “But if you don’t find allies, and let Hehuan Sect be self-sufficient, wouldn’t you end up without any benefits? Rather than not getting anything, it’s better to share half, find a protector. In case there’s trouble with selling talismans, you’ll have an ally to shoulder it with you.”

Fan Yue listened more and more, and felt there was something to it. “Good idea! Chen Jiang, how did you come up with that solution?”

Jiang Cheng waved his hand, “Nothing much, just talking from experience.”

Jiang Cheng’s nonchalant demeanor made everyone yearn for the Dayan Sect.

The disciples from the Dayan Sect, whether in terms of ability to handle matters or in foresight, far exceeded the average person from the Demonic Tao!

If Dayan Sect were still around, could it hold up half the sky in the Demonic Tao and carry the banner in the fight against the Immortal Sects?

The members of the Shadow Puppet Sect, guided by Jiang Cheng, quickly grasped the pain points of their sect, optimized their situational awareness, found the enemy’s barriers, and achieved industry linkage. Targeting the encroaching actions of Hehuan Sect, they joined forces with Demon Pattern Sect to launch a combination punch that broke through Hehuan Sect’s business model and achieved a closed loop in their own talisman profits.

Simply put: The Shadow Puppet Sect found the Demon Pattern Sect and launched a surprise attack on Hehuan Sect! They destroyed several of Hehuan Sect’s potential talisman-making locations.

With their talisman-creating capability gone, Hehuan Sect could only continue to buy talismans from the Shadow Puppet Sect.

The Shadow Puppet Sect returned to a carefree talisman-selling life.

But that was just on the surface.

Because of the Perception Transmission Talisman, there was an irreconcilable structural conflict between the Shadow Puppet Sect and Hehuan Sect, and this was not something the Shadow Puppet Sect could solve by bringing in any ally.

Unless the strength of the Shadow Puppet Sect reached the level of an Immortal Sect, Hehuan Sect would not sit idly by and watch a large amount of Spirit Stone flow out of their sect.

“After work, don’t just rest; also draw some life-saving talismans,” Jiang Cheng instructed the Talisman Masters under him in the production workshop.

These Talisman Masters were hired by the Shadow Puppet Sect at a high price and did not count as disciples. They needed to be taken care of.

True to Jiang Cheng’s prediction, Hehuan Sect could not stay quiet for two weeks before they organized their forces and launched a counterattack on the Shadow Puppet Sect!

The struggle in the Demonic Tao was quite fierce. Because both sides were not bound by law, once they started fighting, it was often with lethal intent!

One evening, members of Hehuan Sect suddenly attacked the Shadow Puppet Sect headquarters, throwing the entire Shadow Puppet Sect into chaos!

Some low-level disciples were directly killed by Hehuan Sect on the spot, but thankfully, there were many Elders stationed at the headquarters, and with the abundance of Shadow Puppet Sect puppets, they managed to hold off Hehuan Sect’s offensive for the time being.

“Chen Jiang! Take your people and come with me!”

Fan Yue rushed to the production workshop. The Perception Transmission Talisman was currently the Shadow Puppet Sect’s greatest asset, and it had to be protected first and foremost.

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, “Everyone, take the blueprints and retreat in an orderly fashion.”

Then Fan Yue saw the Talisman Masters in the workshop calmly packing their things, ready to evacuate.

The atmosphere in the workshop was out of step with the urgent situation outside.

It was as if they had rehearsed it.

“Sect Master Fan, aren’t you leaving?” Jiang Cheng asked.

Fan Yue then came to his senses and said, “Let’s go.”

Under the Shadow Puppet Sect’s priority protection, Jiang Cheng and the other Talisman Masters smoothly transferred to the Shadow Puppet Sect’s backup stronghold.

The stronghold was steadily receiving Shadow Puppet Sect disciples, some wounded, some promising youngsters.

But they hadn’t been at the backup location for 24 hours when fighting broke out again outside.

The sounds of combat were even clearly audible inside the room.

“Haha! No matter who is fighting, my Blood Fiend Sect will always lend a hand!”

In the battles of high-ranking Cultivators, disciples at the Qi Cultivation Stage couldn’t get involved; a mere ripple from the combat could be fatal to the lower-level Cultivators.

After a while, Fan Yue appeared again outside.

This time he was not so composed, and said to the disciples in the stronghold, “Pack up, get ready to move again!”

Jiang Cheng then stepped forward.

“Sect Master Fan, Hehuan Sect has come knocking several times, and they probably know all about Shadow Puppet Sect’s strongholds. Moving on may not help,” he said.

“Chen Jiang, do you have a good plan?”

“I know of a safe location, guaranteed that even if Hehuan Sect’s forces were ten times larger, they won’t be able to break in.”

Fan Yue’s eyes lit up.

This was precisely what the Shadow Puppet Sect was lacking—a secure rear base.

As long as they could ensure the safety of their sect’s disciples and assets, even though they, the Core Formation and Foundation Establishment cultivators, might not be able to defeat the enemy, escape would be much easier.

“Quick, lead us there immediately,” Fan Yue urged.

Under Jiang Cheng’s guidance, the Shadow Puppet Sect members quickly relocated, gradually reaching the outskirts of the Capital.

There stood an old factory building that appeared quite unremarkable.

The surroundings of the factory were very quiet; it did not seem like there were workers working inside.
