Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1125 572: Songs and Dances in Full Swing (Part 3)

No one is at Du Wenming's house. According to Shen Jingye's investigation data, Du Wenming is not married, his parents aren't around, and he has a nanny who cooks and cleans for him but doesn't stay overnight.

The villa has two floors. Li Banfeng didn't see any radio equipment, nor did he see any Magical Treasures, Spiritual Objects, or Weapons.

Li Banfeng called Shen Jingye: "Quickly issue a wanted notice to find someone with dye on them. Du Wenming is not at home; he has other hideouts in the city."

Suspended in the night sky over the city, Li Banfeng looked around.

Where has Du Wenming gone?

Where is he hiding Yu Yaoming?

Was the puppet earlier really him?

After returning to his Portable Residence, Li Banfeng took out the Projector and played the footage of the battle from earlier.

During the filming, the Projector kept shaking, making the footage a bit unsteady. The Phonograph watched for a long time before capturing Du Wenming's figure.

"Husband, is this a marionette?"

His wife's thoughts were consistent with Li Banfeng's initial judgment, but after watching for about ten minutes, she noticed something unusual: "This puppet has a Magical Treasure on it, and it can use Techniques."

Li Banfeng asked: "Which Taoist Sect's Technique is this?"

"It's a Dance Cultivation Technique."

"Martial Cultivator? Isn't it that Martial Cultivators don't have Techniques?"

"Not the Martial Cultivators skilled in fighting, but the Dance Cultivators skilled in dancing. This Technique is called 'Songs and Dances Flourish,' where one person dances and can bring everyone around to dance with them. I never thought a puppet could wield the Techniques of a Magical Treasure to such an extent."

"Wife, this shouldn't be just a puppet and a Magical Treasure, this is a Cultivator!"

"How does husband know?"

Li Banfeng replied: "During the confrontation, I kept my eyes on him and unintentionally used 'Passing Glance' when dodging,

which hurt him. If it was just a puppet, the 'Passing Glance Technique' should have no effect on him."

Hong Ying put down her brow pencil and watched the recording for a while: "The movie is causing dizziness with its shaking. Our Projector also seems affected by the Technique."

The Projector puzzled: "I didn't feel it shaking when filming."

The Gloves waved a finger and said: "During the confrontation, I tried to see if he had any treasures on him, but couldn't settle my mind and found no chance to act. I must have been affected by his Technique and danced with him."

The Wine Gourd missed its target, and the Tang Sword couldn't hit. They were likely all disrupted by the Dance Cultivator.

Li Banfeng asked: "Are Martial Cultivator Techniques so powerful they can make Magical Treasures dance along?"

The Phonograph explained: "Magical Treasures have Spirit Attributes, so they can indeed be influenced by Dance Cultivation Techniques."

"What about those cars? Why are they also dancing?"

The Phonograph shook its head and said: "Given this person's cultivation level, things without Spirit Attributes are certainly beyond his control. The cars swayed because the drivers were affected, causing mishaps while driving."

Drivers were dancing while driving, wildly twisting the steering wheel.

His wife's explanation was reasonable, but one thing still didn't make sense.

"When the puppet fled, why were so many people still dancing?"

Hong Ying chimed in: "Because Dance Cultivation Techniques have lingering effects; after execution, they can last a while. How long they last depends on the gap in cultivation level between parties,

I've encountered a Dance Cultivator general in battle, who brought thirty dancing girls and five hundred soldiers, nearly slaughtering my camp,

I remember, everyone in the camp was dancing like crazy at the time, oblivious to the enemy's attacks.

Li Banfeng imagined the battle scene, but couldn't quite comprehend it.

He let the Projector demonstrate.

A General, leading thirty dancing girls, first infiltrated Hong Ying's camp and used Techniques that made all of Hong Ying's subordinates dance.

Then her soldiers stormed in to slaughter the camp.

"Since your troops were dancing, why weren't the enemy affected?"

Hong Ying replied: "This resulted from the lingering effects of Dance Cultivation Techniques; she initially disrupted the camp with the dancing girls and then retreated with them,

but because the lingering effects of the Technique were still present, my men kept dancing, unaffected by the Technique, while the enemy, not affected, gained an advantage in battle."

"How did you survive this battle?"

Hong Ying thought carefully and shook her head, saying: "There wasn't any special method; my cultivation level was high, I danced a couple of steps, broke free from the Technique,

then I fought the enemy, even though they had five hundred soldiers with cultivation, by employing my tactics I could hold them off. After some time, my soldiers freed themselves, causing a reversal in the battle, but over thirty percent of my soldiers were killed."

According to Hong Ying's description, the Projector accurately recreated the battlefield scene. After watching it, Li Banfeng asked Hong Ying; "If you encounter her again, wouldn't you suffer again?"

"I won't suffer again; initially, I underestimated her as she appeared frail and shed tears before the battle, truly unfit for a Military General, I indeed underestimated her.

But after that battle, I never underestimated the enemy again; in our next encounter, I swiftly closed in and took her life, not giving her a chance to act,

Qi Lang, remember well, when confronting Dance Cultivators, never let them start dancing unless your cultivation level exceeds theirs; otherwise, if you let them dance, you essentially have no chance of winning."

Li Banfeng watched the recording again, remaining silent for a long time.

Hong Ying's strategy seemed unrealistic.

The Phonograph knew what Li Banfeng was worried about: "Just saying 'don't let Dance Cultivators dance' isn't so simple, husband, if it's about footwork, whether on flatland or perilous peaks, Traveling Cultivators are way faster than Dance Cultivators,
