Chapter 984 - 460: Disciple Takes Action; Myriad Puppets Landscape

Upon hearing this urgent message,

Mao Qingzhu’s body shook slightly, overwhelmed with anger, her chest ached, and a streak of crimson blood trickled down from the corner of her mouth.

Normally,

with the protection of the Divine Mist Array, the Mao Family could always remain safe.

But now,

ever since the array failed, those lurking wolves and tigers could no longer contain their greedy fangs and began tearing into the flesh of the Mao Family.

The Mao Family Trading Team had just purchased magical artifacts from Yunxi District and hadn’t even reached Mist Forest when they were robbed!

"Sister Qingzhu!"

Chen Ye, quick on his feet, stepped forward and supported her frail, swaying body.

A gentle stream of spiritual power continuously flowed through his palm into Mao Qingzhu’s body, suppressing the turbulent reverse blood in her meridians.

"Aunt Mao!"

Qing Jun was also anxious, ignoring the new rabbit ring toy, she angrily looked at her master:

"Master! Who is so wicked! Qing Jun can’t help but want to unleash bloodshed!"

Chen Ye temporarily ignored the young girl and asked in a deep voice:

"Did the message say what kind of Tribulation Cultivators they were?"

"The clan member who sent the message said that the opponents were ruthless, well-trained, and feared neither pain nor injury..."

Mao Qingzhu clenched her sleeve and murmured.

"They’re puppets, ordinary cultivators wouldn’t be fearless of pain," Chen Ye sneered.

"Ten Thousand Puppet Sect?"

Mao Qingzhu frowned, her fair face showing a hint of confusion,

"My Mao Family’s business is mainly in Qi Kingdom and Yandong, and we have never interfered with the Ten Thousand Puppet Sect. Why are these demon cultivators so meticulously targeting my Mao Family?"

First, they attacked the Family Head, then Divine Mist Valley, and now robbed the trading team.

Clearly, it’s a vendetta aimed at annihilating the Mao Family!

Chen Ye sighed and explained gently:

"Sister Qingzhu, ultimately, this matter was brought upon you by Baopu Peak."

He turned his head, glancing at the little girl beside him with clenched fists,

"Do you remember the previous trip to Luoxiao Grotto Heaven? Within the grotto, Qing Jun slew a true inheritor of Ten Thousand Puppet Sect, named Yang Qiu, the sect’s foremost prodigy."

Mao Qingzhu seemed lost in thought.

Chen Ye continued,

"As they say, revenge breeds revenge... Moreover, Ten Thousand Puppet Sect acts with a deep vendetta. The connection between you and Qing Jun is no secret to those with ill intentions. They dare not attack Baopu Peak, so they target you."

Yang Qiu was not only a true inheritor but also a descendant of a big figure in Ten Thousand Puppet Sect.

Even though Luoxiao Grotto Heaven had regulations that any matters within the grotto couldn’t affect the outside world,

Ten Thousand Puppet Sect wouldn’t let this rest lightly.

And recently,

the disciples either secretly went to Qi Kingdom or stayed on Baopu Peak, giving Ten Thousand Puppet Sect no chance for revenge.

Thus,

they could only settle for targeting Mao Qingzhu.

"Luckily, they view Lisong Valley as merely one of my properties, not important. Otherwise, Lisong Valley might have also faced retribution by now,"

Chen Ye thought silently.

A mere Medicine Valley is naturally lesser than Qing Jun’s ’Mother.’

"Yang Qiu? That freak? He clearly tried to kill Qing Jun first! Failing to defeat Qing Jun, now he sneaks around to bully Aunt Mao! So shameless! Literally the worst villain in the world!"

Upon hearing this, Qing Jun grew even angrier.

Isn’t this like the wicked blaming others first?

She hadn’t even sought trouble with Ten Thousand Puppet Sect, yet they came to trouble her first!

Utter reversal of heaven and earth!

"I see... But there’s no need for you to blame yourselves, Ten Thousand Puppet Sect is an evil sect, always looking for reasons to accuse,"

Mao Qingzhu shook her head gently, comforting lightly.

The black-haired girl’s eyes, cold and clear, brewed a fierce sword intent:

"Master, since this matter stems from Baopu Peak, Mao Family’s tribulation, I am obliged to act. I will take care of the Tribulation Cultivators in Yunxi District."

Zhiwei’s cultivation has greatly advanced, with a clear sword heart, and with her top grade tier two magical treasures, even ordinary seventh-layer Foundation Establishment cultivators may not be her match.

Indeed.

Though Zhiwei is currently only at the fourth-layer Foundation Establishment, her strength defies conventional estimation!

Chen Ye looked at the three disciples and quickly considered the situation.

To target Mao Family,

Ten Thousand Puppet Sect likely won’t exhaust their entire force.

At most, there might be one or two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

With the current combat capacity of the disciples, even if they encounter some late-stage masters, combined, they have the strength to fight.

"You’ve rapidly advanced in cultivation lately, an intense battle will stabilize your realm,"

Chen Ye nodded and spoke,

"Alright, I agree. However, you won’t go alone."

With a wave of his sleeve, he summoned Qing Jun and Jin’er before him, speaking solemnly:

"Since Baopu Peak is the root of this karma, your sister disciples will resolve it together. This descent will serve as your practical battle training!"

"Fight with all your might, I will discreetly oversee from the shadows; unless emergencies arise, I will not interfere. You must handle everything yourself, do you dare to accept?"

Upon hearing that her master not only agreed but also ordered them to take down those villains themselves, Qing Jun jumped three feet high in excitement:

"Yay! Master is the best! Qing Jun will definitely defeat them soundly! Settle Aunt Mao’s score!"

Jin’er nodded forcefully, secretly clutching the vine in her palm.

The demon plant bestowed by her master was wrapped around her wrist.

Although,

the Vine King still needed time to breakthrough to late-stage Foundation Establishment after consuming Supreme Azure Blossom Dew, but at sixth-layer Foundation Establishment, it already gives Jin’er a lot of courage.

Zhiwei respectfully bowed with her sword: "Disciple accepts the mission! Ten Thousand Puppet Sect will pay their blood debt with interest!"
