“An interesting fellow?” Song Shuhang glanced at the sea urchin warriors beneath and couldn’t spot any difference between them.

“The second sea urchin warrior from the right side isn’t a living creature… but a puppet!” Scholar Xian Gong took out his big tobacco pipe and puffed out some white smoke; he was no longer concealing his presence.

The approaching enemy wasn’t that demodragon from the Netherworld Realm. Therefore, there was no need for him to hide. The strength of these sea urchin warriors wasn’t too high, and he could easily take care of them.

“A puppet?” Song Shuhang stared at that particular sea urchin warrior for quite some time but all of them were clad in black clothes with only their eyes visible. How was he supposed to tell the difference between them?

“I’ll head down and take care of these sea urchin warriors. I can’t allow them to ruin the traps I arranged,” Scholar Xian Gong said.

Scholar Xian Gong had spent a great deal of time to arrange these traps. He didn’t want to waste them to catch these small fries.

Senior Xian Gong jumped down from the roof of the villa.

The sea urchin warriors stopped in their tracks and carefully watched him.

“Hehe.” Scholar Xian Gong laughed and shook his tobacco pipe. After that, a lifelike fire dragon gushed out of the pipe.

His tobacco pipe was a powerful fire-type magical treasure.

The fire dragon was more than twenty meters long; the water in the air evaporated as soon as it appeared, with waves of heat bombarding the whole area.

However, the heat and the light the fire dragon was releasing disappeared without a trace when it closed in on Yu Jiaojiao’s villa. Scholar Xian Gong had arranged a huge defensive formation next to Jiaojiao’s villa so as to avoid destroying it during the fight.

With this defensive formation in place, Gao Moumou and the others inside the villa wouldn’t even realize that there was a battle outside.

“Whoosh~”

The fire dragon coiled around the sea urchin warriors.

Amongst the sea urchin warriors, the strongest one was that team leader—a sea urchin warrior of the Fourth Stage Realm—that fell into the first trap. All the others had a strength of the Third Stage Realm and had no chance of escaping from Scholar Xian Gong’s fire dragon.

As soon as the fire dragon coiled around them, the sea urchin warriors were reduced to ashes, dying thoroughly.

Scholar Xian Gong gently tapped his tobacco pipe, and the fire dragon returned inside after making one circle in the air.

“Puff~” Scholar Xian Gong kept smoking and then puffed out a white cloud of smoke. His eyes were closely watching the place the fire dragon attacked just now.

In that place, a humanoid puppet that seemed to be made of either wood or metal was lying p.r.o.ne on the ground. At this time, its outer sea urchin warrior skin cover had been destroyed. However, even Scholar Xian Gong’s terrifying fire dragon had failed to destroy its body and was only able to burn black the outer layer.

“Not bad. This puppet was manufactured with the method of the Jet-Black Sect. Its ability to resist fire is pretty good,” Scholar Xian Gong said calmly.

The body of the puppet twitched, and it slowly got up from the ground.

Something similar to an electronic eye was glowing in the eye socket of the puppet. The electronic eye glanced at Scholar Xian Gong and said hoa.r.s.ely, “It wasn’t just manufactured with the method of the Jet-Black Sect. The heat resistance of its outer layer was strengthened with highly advanced technological equipment as well. In this era where technology is quickly developing, we cultivators can’t afford to be complacent and conservative.”

“Ahaha, technology your sister,” Scholar Xian Gong said. As soon as the word ‘technology’ was mentioned, he remembered that nuclear bomb that exploded above his head. Whom exactly did he offend back then? He was quietly meditating when someone casually dropped a nuclear bomb on his head.

The puppet stiffly moved around. It seemed that the attack just now had damaged it to some extent. Its movements had now become similar to that of a zombie—some parts inside its body were probably broken. However, it didn’t matter, because the puppet wasn’t planning to return home safely.

Its electronic eye moved and finally locked onto Song Shuhang, who was standing on the roof of the villa.

“Found you,” the puppet said.

Song Shuhang asked, “Do we know each other?”

This puppet has come for me as well? I can understand why the sea urchin warriors have come, but how am I exactly related to this puppet?

Very soon, Song Shuhang remembered a certain matter.

Was it possible that this puppet was related to that Mister She Lan? That guy brought several sea urchin warriors and human skin puppets with him and bravely barged into the land of the Chu Family. But in the end, it turned out that he was a disciple of the Thousand Hands Sect that had been transformed into a puppet. Afterward, Venerable White was careless while disa.s.sembling him and made him explode.

“We don’t really know each other,” the puppet replied. After saying this much, it raised its hand and pointed it at Song Shuhang, seemingly ready to attack him.

The nearby Scholar Xian Gong sneered. Was this guy treating him as though he didn’t exist, trying to attack Song Shuhang even though he was there?

Scholar Xian Gong stretched out his hand and flicked his fingers. In the next moment, a formation on the ground suddenly activated as countless vines came out of it, firmly binding the puppet.

The vines directly pierced into the body of the puppet and destroyed its internal parts.

“Ahahaha…” However, not only the puppet didn’t try to resist, it also started laughing complacently.

In the next moment, its body inflated, and energy burst forth from the core.

“Is it trying to self-destruct?” Scholar Xian Gong snorted. The vines quickly wrapped around the puppet and turned it into a green coc.o.o.n.

“Boom~”

The power of the explosion was completely suppressed by the green coc.o.o.n, just like a defective bomb that had failed to explode.

On the roof, Song Shuhang furrowed his brows and said, “What’s going on? Did it come here just to say a few sentences and self-detonate?”

Was it possible that the puppet launched some kind of attack when it stretched out its hand and pointed at him? For example, some kind of mental attack?

Perhaps I should ask Senior White to give me a general physical checkup later?

After a short moment of silence, Scholar Xian Gong turned his head around and looked at Song Shuhang. “Little friend Shuhang, do you feel anything strange?”

Song Shuhang shook his head.

“In that case, for what reason did that guy come here?” Scholar Xian Gong stretched out his hand and waved it. In the next moment, the vines forming the green retracted, disappearing without a trace.
