chapter 456: chapter 153: the ‘final battle’ with the puppet guild
“`
after lin jing left, the cultivator he had been chasing finally let out a sigh of relief.
however, he dared not rest for long, as he needed to report the incident to the guild leader.
without looking back, the man hurried away.
…
…
when the man arrived at the guild leader’s dwelling place of the puppet guild.
seeing how disheveled the man was, the puppet guild leader’s eyebrows immediately furrowed, and he asked:
“what happened, weren’t you supposed to ambush lin jing?”
“how did you end up in such a mess?”
not daring to conceal anything, the man quickly said:
“guild leader, we miscalculated…”
“that lin jing, he also knows puppetry technique. when we sent over our puppets to control him, he took control of them with puppetry technique and we lost contact.”
“just as dawn broke, he stormed out of the cave and attacked several of us.”
“besides, lin jing is a body refinement cultivator, and we, four people’s puppets, were seized by him and stood no chance at all.”
“the three of them, all died at the hands of lin jing, and only i was lucky enough to escape.”
“body refinement cultivator…”
hearing the cultivator’s words, the puppet guild leader’s frown deepened and he asked the man:
“are you saying he also practices puppetry technique?”
the cultivator replied:
“yes, guild leader…”
“last night, the four of us had coordinated our efforts to control puppets and go to his cave entrance, aiming to entangle him.”
“but not long after i sent my puppet over, it was controlled by someone else. it could not move and soon afterward, it was completely out of my control.”
“originally, i planned to inform you as soon as dawn broke, but early the next morning, lin jing came out of the cave and directly found the third brother’s cave and killed him.”
“after killing the third brother, the few of us knew something was wrong and immediately tried to escape, but he was too powerful, and we were not his match. he quickly caught up with us…”
“in the end, only i managed to escape.”
after hearing this, the puppet guild leader pondered for a while and then asked:
“do you know how he learned this puppetry technique?”
the man shook his head and said:
“i don’t know…”
“however, although he managed to control our puppets with puppetry technique, i could sense that his use of it was somewhat unskilled.”
“his time practicing puppetry technique couldn’t have been long.”
the puppet guild leader nodded lightly and said:
“i see…”
the words of the puppet guild leader left the cultivator somewhat puzzled, so he inquired:
“guild leader, you understand?”
the puppet guild leader nodded and added:
“if there are no surprises, it should be that some of our own people had fallen into his hands before this, and that’s how he acquired the puppetry technique.”
“after all, we were in the light before while he was in the dark; it’s very easy to launch a sneak attack on someone within the guild.”
upon hearing this, the man suddenly realized and said:
“what the guild leader says makes sense…”
“so, what should we do next to deal with this person?”
after hearing this, the puppet guild leader looked at the man and asked again:
“aside from being a body refinement cultivator, does that person have any other hidden strengths?”
the cultivator who had escaped thought for a moment and responded:
“because we lost the puppets, we didn’t confront him directly while avoiding his pursuit.”
“however, that man has the cultivation of a golden core at the ninth level, and combined with the incredible speed that a body refinement cultivator can unleash, we were quickly caught up to.”
“if i must say, it’s that his speed is very fast, and his divine sense, able to control the four of us’ puppets, must also be exceptional…”
after listening, the puppet guild leader nodded and said:
“alright…”
“i understand.”
“next, i will take action personally.”
upon hearing this, the man’s eyes lit up as he said:
“yes, guild leader.”
when the guild leader takes action, it is always extraordinary.
previously, he had witnessed the guild leader’s puppet, which was comparable to a body refinement cultivator at the golden core ninth level.
moreover, the puppetry technique was originally transmitted by the guild leader himself. as long as he wishes, he can take control of anyone’s puppet.
even if lin jing practices puppetry technique,
it would be useless in front of the guild leader’s puppet.
with the guild leader’s intervention, success is almost certain.
then, the puppet guild leader took out a small storage bag from his own storage bag and handed it to the cultivator, saying:
“here are some spirit stones as a reward for your actions this time.”
the man accepted the spirit stones and said:
“thank you, guild leader.”
then the puppet guild leader waved his hand and said:
“alright, you may go now.”
however, the man spoke again:
“guild leader, this incident was seen by many, and i expect there will be rumors detrimental to our puppet guild.”
upon hearing this, the guild leader’s brow creased slightly, and he nodded and stated:
“hmm, i am aware…”
“just wait…”
“in a few days, i’ll make all these rumors disappear…”
……
after leaving, lin jing returned directly to his previous cave dwelling.
however, not long after lin jing returned, xu ye came looking for him.
upon seeing lin jing, xu ye said:
“i saw you chasing down a cultivator from the puppet guild, what on earth is going on?”
