The charming widow of the Marquis's mansion: The stable boy carries the flag and raises the dra

The Puppet Spirit Sect is located deep underground.

On an altar built from countless bones, endless black mist surged and billowed.

In the very center of the altar, a gaunt figure sat cross-legged, his body wrapped in black chains as thick as a child's arm.

The other end of the chain was deeply embedded in the altar, as if drawing upon some indescribable power.

Suddenly, the black chains began to tremble violently.

Click!

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and the first chain snapped.

Then, the second one, the third one...

The sound of breaking chains echoed continuously, and black mist gushed out from the breaks, enveloping the entire altar.

The gaunt figure slowly opened its eyes.

Those eyes were as black as ink, with an endless abyss seemingly spinning within their pupils, captivating the soul.

A terrifying aura erupted from his body, blasting away all the surrounding skeletons and turning them into dust.

The entire Puppet Spirit Sect was trembling violently, with rocks falling from the mountainside and deep, bottomless ravines cracking in the ground.

Puppet One, Puppet Two, and Puppet Three were already kneeling on the ground outside the altar.

His forehead was pressed against the cold stone bricks, and his whole body was trembling.

The oppressive aura emanating from the late-stage Heavenly Sovereign was enough to suffocate the three of them, even if it was just an aftershock.

"Congratulations, Sect Master! Congratulations, Sect Master!"

Kui Yi's voice was hoarse, filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"With our sect leader breaking through to the late stage of the Heavenly Sovereign realm, our Puppet Spirit Sect will be invincible in the Eastern Region!"

Puppet Master Two and Puppet Master Three echoed this sentiment.

"Our sect leader's might shakes the world! May the Puppet Spirit Sect reign forever!"

On the altar, the gaunt figure slowly stood up.

He was thin and bony, like a skeleton, and wore a tattered black robe.

His face was withered, and his eyes were sunken, making him look like a corpse that had just crawled out of a coffin.

But a mad light flickered in those dark eyes.

This person is none other than Kui Yuan, the sect master of the Puppet Spirit Sect!

Kui Yuan looked down at his hands, his withered fingers slowly clenching and unclenching.

Feeling the surging power within my body that almost bursts my meridians.

His lips slowly parted, revealing a ferocious yet satisfied smile.

"Late stage of Heavenly Sovereign... Just one step away from touching the legendary threshold of the Emperor Realm."

His voice was hoarse and dry, like sandpaper rubbing against iron, yet it carried an undeniable arrogance.

"Give me some more time, or... obtain some more powerful puppets, and I will surely break through that shackle and attain the throne of the Great Emperor!"

He stepped down from the altar, and the black mist surged beneath his feet as if it were alive.

Each step left a charred mark on the ground.

The three of them quickly lowered their heads even further, not daring to look him in the eye.

Kui Yuan walked up to them and stood with his hands behind his back.

"During my seclusion, did anything significant happen in the sect?"

Kui hesitated for a moment, but still reported the truth.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, some unexpected events have indeed occurred during this period."

He took a deep breath and recounted Wang Long's story from beginning to end.

Kui Yuan listened quietly, his smile gradually fading, replaced by a layer of gloomy frost.

"You mean, a half-saint named Wang Long not only killed the elders and disciples of my Puppet Spirit Sect, but also became the Holy Son of the Primordial Holy Palace?"

"Not only that..."

Kuiyi added, forcing himself to speak.

"Ye Wushuang of the Primordial Holy Palace has broken through to the Heavenly Sovereign level by some unknown opportunity."

"Now that the Primordial Holy Palace has two Heavenly Sovereigns in charge, its strength has greatly increased."

Kui Yuan remained silent for a moment.

He suddenly laughed.

The laughter was chilling, echoing through the empty altar, sending shivers down the spines of the three puppets.

"Two Celestial Sovereigns? Ha..."

His tone was full of disdain.

"After breaking through to the late stage of the Heavenly Supreme Realm, I was just worried about not having a place to establish my authority, and the Primordial Holy Palace delivered itself to my door."

"You mere newly ascended Heavenly Sovereign dare to swagger before me?"

He turned around, flicked his black robe sleeves, and spoke in a voice that left no room for doubt.

"Puppet Three!"

Kui San trembled and quickly responded.

"Your subordinate is here!"

Kui Yuan turned around, his dark eyes landing on Kui San.

"Go to the Tianyan Sect and tell that old bastard Zheng Tianyan that I intend to join forces with him to divide up the Primordial Holy Palace!"

"The resources, cultivation techniques, and spiritual veins accumulated by the Primordial Holy Palace over the years will be used by both sects to their advantage!"

"As for that Wang Long..."

Kui Yuan's lips curled into a sinister smile.

"I want him alive! I want to refine him into the most perfect puppet!"

Kui Yuan truly didn't expect that the Heavenly Evolution Sect Master would actually endure such a humiliation.

This doesn't fit Zheng Tianyan's style.

If the other party doesn't give him face, he can simply wipe out the Tianyan Sect first.

Upon hearing this, Kui San immediately kowtowed.

"Yes, sir!"

Kui Yuan then looked at Kui Yi and Kui Er.

"You two, pass down the order to summon all disciples currently outside the sect back to the clan to prepare for battle!"

"I will make sure the entire Eastern Region knows the consequences of offending my Puppet Spirit Sect!"

Puppet One and Puppet Two responded simultaneously.

"yes!"

Without any delay, Kui San set off overnight, heading straight for the Tianyan Sect.

Currently, the puppet spirit of the Puppet Spirit Sect is too strong, while the strength of these elders is too weak.

In the past, many powerful beings in the Puppet Spirit Sect were devoured by Puppet Yuan.

All for his throne.

He was willing to give up everything if it worked.

Nowadays, the entire Puppet Spirit Sect is nothing more than a reserve for Puppet Yuan.

Tianyan Sect Mountain Gate.

Kui San was led into the main hall with great ceremony.

Zheng Yuan was already sitting in the main seat, waiting for him.

Sitting next to Zheng Yuan were several elders of the Tianyan Sect, each with a solemn expression and unfriendly gaze.

"Elder Kui San, what a rare guest."

Zheng Yuan held a cup of tea, his tone neither warm nor cold.

"May I ask what brings the esteemed Puppet Spirit Sect here?"

Kui San didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"Sect Leader Zheng, I have come on your orders to discuss a cooperation with your sect."

Zheng Yuan put down his teacup, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"cooperate?"

A meaningful smile appeared on Kui San's face.

"To jointly divide the Primordial Holy Palace."

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the hall immediately changed.

The elders exchanged glances, and some of them showed signs of interest.

Zheng Yuan remained silent for a moment, his fingertips lightly tapping the table, his voice calm.

"The Puppet Spirit Sect has quite the appetite. The Primordial Holy Palace now has two Heavenly Sovereigns overseeing it."

"Although my Tianyan Sect also has old grudges with them, it is not worth provoking two Heavenly Sovereigns for the sake of an enemy."

These people speak with profound wisdom, simply because the Primordial Holy Palace is now too powerful to provoke.

When the Tianyan Sect arranged the marriage between Ye Niannu and Zheng Hao, they were planning to completely devour them!

Kui San smiled, confident and assured.

"Sect Leader Zheng, you may not know this, but my Sect Master, Lord Kuiyuan, has already broken through to the late stage of the Heavenly Sovereign realm!"

"Ye Wushuang is nothing more than a newly ascended Heavenly Sovereign. He is not worth mentioning in front of my sect master."

Zheng Yuan's fingers paused slightly.

Late-stage Heavenly Supreme!

This is indeed a force capable of changing the landscape of the Eastern Region.

Just then, a hoarse and angry voice came from outside the hall.

"Cooperation! Of course we should cooperate!"
