Chapter 2495: Chapter 2496: Puppet Poison

After a long time, Xiao Ying finally slowly opened her eyes. What she saw was darkness, and after a while, the lights gradually brightened, feeling particularly dazzling. She shielded her eyes with her hand.

After a while, footsteps sounded not far ahead. He realized his whole body was in extreme pain when he opened his eyes and saw his hands and feet shackled with thick chains.

Despite wanting to move, he couldn’t achieve his goal at all. Looking up, a person slowly approached. He wore an elegant robe, with fair complexion and a tall stature.

Zhou Lie slowly walked towards him, carrying a faint smile on his face as he looked at the little girl.

"I really didn’t expect, little girl, to meet you in this place. Honestly, it does surprise me a bit."

Zhou Lie was followed by several old men. Although they were older than him, each showed respectful attitudes before him. Seeing the man in front of her, she instinctively felt a sense of fear.

"Little girl, don’t be afraid. It truly surprises me that we meet again."

Zhou Lie’s tone was extraordinarily gentle, his eyes exuding a hint of seductive charm, making one instinctively feel dread and panic. Looking at this person in front of her, he seemed particularly angry.

"Let me go quickly, or when Brother Lin comes, you’ll be finished."

Facing the threats from the girl, Zhou Lie did not feel any fear, instead appearing more smug, as if he had heard a laughable joke. Did this girl really think she could threaten him this way?

"Little girl, I must admit your words make you sound na?ve and cute. Do you think your so-called brother can still come to rescue you now?"

Although Xiao Ying did not know the person’s current level of cultivation, she knew the old men behind him were definitely powerhouses. If he truly intended to act against her beloved Lin Chen brother, he might likely have little chance.

"You’re definitely not his match." ℯℯ𝑙.

At this moment, Sect Leader Han Bing stepped forward and glanced at the opponent, with unprecedented intimacy in his eyes. To Sect Leader Han Bing, dealing with Ling Chen this time seemed like making a big deal out of nothing. He thought he could defeat the young man in front with ease.

"Little girl, I hope you understand that your so-called Brother Lin Chen is absolutely no match for us," Sect Leader Han Bing said proudly.

"Never mind, elder, don’t bother with the girl’s nonsense. Oh, by the way, little girl, I have a candy here. Would you like to eat it?"

After saying this, Zhou Lie stretched out his right hand, revealing a red pill that emitted a tantalizing aroma, evoking intense appetite when smelled. However, the latter turned her head away.

"I’m telling you, I won’t eat your thing."

Xiao Ying’s attitude was particularly strong. From the beginning, Zhou Lie wore a fake smile, but finally revealed his true colors at this moment.

"I’ll say, little girl, if you refuse to accept a toast but drink a forfeit, then don’t blame me for being rude."

After saying this, the three old men swiftly stepped forward, disregarding any notion of bullying, tightly grasped the girl, and forced her mouth open.

Xiao Ying saw the person slowly approaching her, expressing a look of underwater terror, knowing this guy surely intended to harm her. Although she wanted to resist, despite all efforts, she had no success.

"I’ll tell you, you’re sure to be finished next."

After Zhou Lie said this, he placed the pill into her mouth. Though she certainly didn’t want to swallow it, the pill melted naturally once in her mouth.

After a while, where previously her eyes shone brightly, they now dimmed, like clouds pressing down. She became like the walking dead suddenly sitting up from the bed, yet already a soulless body.

"Now tell me, who are you actually?"

The girl then replied word by word, "My name is Puppet. I am my master’s puppet."

Sect Leaders standing by witnessed this scene, secretly astonished. Never did they expect this young man to be so exceptionally talented, able to cultivate the legendary Puppet Divine Pill.

Many alchemists had once dreamt of cultivating such a pill because once ingested, a person would turn into a complete demon puppet.

Yet many alchemists tried and failed because the process required many critical steps where even top alchemists could falter.

"It’s just a small matter. From now on, this woman will obey me only. This time, if that Lin Chen dares to come up, I will ensure he never returns."

Such words made the three sect leaders by the side more confident about this situation, though they did not understand why caution was needed with Lin Chen.

But now that they were to follow this young man’s words, they wouldn’t openly oppose his decisions.

"I know you might think we’re making a big deal out of it. That’s because you don’t understand how powerful this guy’s explosive strength really is."

Initially, Zhou Lie scoffed at Zheng He’s remarks.

Yet when he witnessed the young man’s true power firsthand, he realized Zheng He’s words were indeed true.

"No matter how strong he is, he can’t compare to you, Alliance Hierarch. You became a King at a young age."

Zhou Lie should have felt happy at this moment, but instead he felt a bit melancholic inside.
