Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

Chapter 1385: Chapter 549: Serpent Scythe Stirred!

Ning Zhuo was almost taken aback.

The warning from the Mechanical Ring signified a huge crisis, threatening his life!

"But what on earth is going on?"

Ning Zhuo was completely bewildered by this life-threatening crisis.

Last time, it was due to the attack of a Mysterious Nascent Soul, with clear clues, that’s why he acted this way.

This time, it was a disaster falling from the sky while he was at home.

This left him at a loss on how to proceed.

"Could it be because I borrowed the White Rainbow Righteousness Festival and hung it at the entrance of the Cave Mansion? Should I take it down?"

The ring was contracting.

"Or perhaps it’s the lingering disaster of that Mysterious Nascent Soul? Should I eliminate its Spiritual Nature too?"

The ring continued to contract.

In just a few breaths, cold sweat already dripped down Ning Zhuo’s forehead.

When he was at his wit’s end, he sensed a disturbance coming from the Storage Waist Belt.

Ning Zhuo’s Divine Sense swept over, discovering a red flower.

"Red Flower Dharma Image, Wu Hen?" Ning Zhuo couldn’t help but feel both shocked and delighted.

In Liangzhu Country, he captured two prisoners, one called Wu Hen and the other called Lin You. The former practiced the Monster Path, his body disfigured, completely losing human form. Without the sealing and suppression of the Red Flower Dharma Image, he would have transformed on the spot.

Ning Zhuo was delighted because he felt he had found the source of the life-threatening danger.

"Wu Hen’s practice of the Monster Path has immense transformative power, and if I’m not careful, I would indeed be caught off guard."

"Unexpectedly, at this critical juncture, the Red Flower Dharma Image can no longer hold up and is about to break."

Ning Zhuo had already decided on an action plan; he left the Cultivation Room immediately, entering the Array Space.

The Bluestone Cave Mansion had a Martial Arts Array, forming an Array Space with a weak exterior but strong interior, suitable for martial practice.

Of course, the intensity of martial practice was limited, and Ning Zhuo couldn’t give his all. It once became a place where Qing Chi and Snow-colored Girl·Hui competed in talisman making.

Ning Zhuo had Qing Chi immediately go out, placing the Red Flower Dharma Image confining Wu Hen in the Martial Arts Arena, and he followed them out.

"In this way, even if there’s a transformation, the Martial Arts Array can stop it for a while."

"After the incident, let the people of the Myriad Images Sect handle this disaster."

"I’m willing to pay compensation!"

Ning Zhuo had long thought of the explanation to give to the outside world, which was simple: he stumbled upon a chance, but unexpectedly, this treasure of the Monster Path suddenly mutated and endangered the surroundings.

Such treasures of the Monster Path are unreasonable and cannot be explained by common sense.

This made Ning Zhuo’s explanation extraordinarily smooth.

However!

Even after abandoning the Red Flower Dharma Image·Wu Hen, the Mechanical Ring on Ning Zhuo’s finger continued to contract, grinding his finger painfully.

Ning Zhuo squinted his eyes: "Could it be that the transformative power is too strong, and I must retreat three times over to avoid it?"

But just as Ning Zhuo wanted to pack up and call his subordinates to flee together, the ring tightened even more.

Ning Zhuo immediately abandoned the thought of retreat, and the ring slightly loosened.

"Is retreating a mistake?"

"Is there an external enemy?"

"But this is within the Wanxiang Sect’s Main Mountain Gate. Private fights are forbidden here!"

"Or did my retreating action reveal some critical information or give the enemy some opportunity to exploit?"

Near the Bluestone Cave Mansion, Xiao Juxia hid his presence, constantly capturing Ning Zhuo’s aura, with a faint smile: "It’s enough."

His previous divination had cost him a great deal.

This time, the subsequent divination, although not deep, required careful calculation because of his limited lifespan.

The more clues Xiao Juxia collected, the less the cost he had to pay.

Therefore, he didn’t hesitate to come near the Bluestone Cave Mansion to gather the residual aura left by Ning Zhuo as a lead.

"This kid has actually ascended to the third cycle, indicating a connection with the Nanming Fire Furnace."

"Whether this is a good or bad fate remains unknown."

"No matter. This kid doesn’t have the means to shield his own Qi Fortune, I can easily find out with a little calculation."

Xiao Juxia officially began his divination.

Inside the Bluestone Cave Mansion, Ning Zhuo frantically tried various ideas, but the Mechanical Ring only tightened, without any other anomalies.

"In any case, I’ll have the boss and others evacuate first, away from me. Even if I meet a disaster in the future, they will have a greater chance of survival. Or they might lend a hand to save me."

Ning Zhuo pondered intensely, thoughts in his Divine Sea consuming rapidly, almost forming a storm, yet he couldn’t figure out the reason.

If at this moment, the Supreme Family Elders of the Ban Family utilized the Clan Fate Mechanism Chain to observe, they would be shocked to find Ning Zhuo’s Qi Fortune once again in a precarious state, extremely perilous. Because of this, Ning Zhuo’s second Luck Star was activated!

This Luck Star corresponds to the Monster Path.

The Big Snake Scythe caused a disturbance!

Ning Zhuo noticed this immediately, almost thinking it was an illusion.

But soon, he confirmed: "It’s the Big Snake Scythe causing a disturbance!"

He was overjoyed!

Ning Zhuo’s primary objective in traveling the world was to save his mother. However, Meng Yaoyin’s injuries were tied to the Monster Path, and in a recent statement, she nearly dictated it like a last will, telling Ning Zhuo many things and plans.

She instructed Ning Zhuo to join the Myriad Images Sect, retrieve her relic, and when the Big Snake Scythe caused a disturbance, to utilize the "Cremation Prajna Spirit Liberation Sutra" to burn them, supplementing her Spiritual Nature.

Ning Zhuo did his utmost and accomplished the task splendidly. Shortly after entering the Myriad Images Sect, he firmly established his footing, then broke through the surroundings and infiltrated into the Shuyu Pavilion, completing his mother’s most important task directly.

After that, he participated in the Xingyun Trial, striving for future layouts, while secretly waiting for the Big Snake Scythe’s movement.

He yearned for this situation many times but didn’t expect that it would happen at such a critical moment.
