Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

The three temples of Putuo were represented by two highly respected monks, Huiming and Huijue.

The person who came from the Celestial Master's Mansion this time was Zhang Zhiwei, who is now famous among the younger generation and has no rivals.

Among the four major families, the Lu family sent Lu Jin, a young man who had joined the Sanyi Sect;

Wang Ai, whose figure was already slightly plump and whose small eyes were narrowed;

The Lü family sent the elder brother Lü Ren and the younger brother Lü Ci, who were known as the "Twin Pillars of the Lü Family".

The Gao family, on the other hand, was represented by Gao Qian, who was known for his tact and diplomacy.

Each faction brought along a number of elite disciples, making for a truly impressive entourage.

The Divine Machine Alliance received these distinguished guests with the highest honors and arranged for them to stay in specially prepared guest rooms within the alliance.

At the same time, the town where the alliance is located and the surrounding area are noticeably more lively.

The once obscure town is now filled with many unfamiliar faces.

Aside from the various minor sects and idle individuals who rushed over upon hearing the news, hoping to witness the splendor of this "Divine Strategies and Arts Assessment Conference,"

More often, it's those with ulterior motives who sneak in under the cover of the crowds.

Among these people were the Quanxing demons who feared nothing more than a peaceful world.

There were also Japanese ninjas and spies who were disguised and attempted to gather intelligence or assassinate others.

However, what they didn't know was that ever since they set foot in Sichuan Province, someone had been silently watching them.

The closer they got to the Divine Machine Alliance and the Tang Sect, the more numerous and covert the methods of surveillance and tailing became.

They had already fallen into Cui Ming's carefully constructed surveillance range, and their every move had long been exposed to Cui Ming's omnipresent disguises and puppets.

Their movements and words had long been recorded under the puppet's surveillance.

Inside the Divine Strategist's Hundred Treasures Pavilion, Cui Ming met up with Yong En, Gao Gen, and others who had just arrived with their team.

Countless pieces of information are being transmitted back to Cui Ming through numerous bionic soldier bees and shadow spiders, and then rapidly processed by Cui Ming's super brain.

They manipulated the puppets to write words and then transmit various commands.

All the outsiders who set foot near the Divine Machine Alliance were labeled by Cui Ming, and the puppets then passed the labels on to the disciples who were keeping watch, so that the latest orders could be conveyed and executed.

"The true forces, as you commanded, have been scattered at key points around the town, ready to cut off retreat routes or intercept reinforcements at any time."

Yongen reported in a low voice from the side.

"We have taken control of all the visible and invisible sentry posts within the alliance and the Tang Clan's base. Combined with the traps you set up, Brother Cui, it can be said to be impregnable."

Gao Gen added.

Cui Ming nodded slightly, organizing the various information about the infiltrators in his mind.

They thought their secret rendezvous had countless outposts, safe houses, and even hidden traps.

Cui Ming used countless disguised puppets to fill the streets, alleys, mountains, and forests.

No matter where they hide, they will be under Cui Ming's surveillance. His movements, who they have been in contact with, and which pre-planted spies and contact points he has exposed will all be recorded.

All of these were recorded and organized by Cui Ming, just waiting for the right opportunity to get rid of all these malignant tumors existing within Sichuan Province.

"Very good, let them be active for a while longer."

Cui Ming's tone was calm.

"Keep a close eye on all these exposed locations and all these lurking individuals."

"Once the operation begins, capture them all in one fell swoop. Don't let a single one escape. Anyone who resists will be killed on the spot."

Cui Ming was responsible for handling these matters, both big and small, while Tang Miaoxing was naturally given full authority over the external reception duties.

Interestingly, Zhuge Mingyue, as an assistant to the Divine Machine Alliance, naturally stood beside Tang Miaoxing this time.

She acted as if it were her due, assisting him with all the welcoming and sending-off affairs.

Over this long period of time, Zhuge Mingyue's undisguised persistence and genuine affection, once she made up her mind, seemed to finally melt away Tang Miaoxing's cold exterior.

At least to outsiders, the two seemed to be working together seamlessly.

It's clear that Zhuge Mingyue's persistent clinging to Tang Miaoxing has gradually made him accustomed to her presence.

What's even more surprising is that Zhuge Mingyue was able to completely change her usual lively and unruly image.

She displayed an amazing talent for social interaction and a keen eye for detail; her speech and manners were remarkably refined, befitting a lady from a prominent family.

She and Tang Miaoxing's composure and competence complemented each other perfectly, and the two really did look like a perfect couple.

The two handled the reception work exceptionally well, taking care of every detail.

Even Cui Ming, who saw this scene from afar, couldn't help but complain inwardly.

"How could that little brat who used to be so wicked be able to turn out like this? The power of love is truly terrifying, and when love takes hold, its influence is boundless."

Just as he was thinking this, Cui Ming discovered that the wandering immortals from Xiangnan and the Gu masters from Miaojiang had also arrived at the Divine Machine Alliance.

Wei Shufen, the leader of the Miao Gu Master team, was led directly to Cui Ming's side.

Of course, this was also Cui Ming's arrangement, since he would need this person to lend him a hand in some of the work to come.

Almost everyone present knew each other, so Cui Ming reintroduced Gao Gen and then got straight to the point.

“Miss Wei, I’m sorry to trouble you to come all this way, but I have an important task that I need your help with.”

"I'm not afraid to admit that my Divine Machine Alliance is now being treated like food on someone's plate and as an appetizer."

In order to help Wei Shufen understand Cui Ming's arrangement, he handed her a small earring.

This is an improved product based on the mind-to-mind connection established with disciples through the miniature shudder spider.

Once worn, Cui Ming can communicate directly with the wearer telepathically and project images for them to watch.

"Miss Wei, please look. This picture shows the many treacherous individuals currently lurking near my Divine Machine Alliance."

With a slight gesture, Cui Ming showed Wei Shufen a brief map marked with the Quanxing and the Japanese.

Unexpectedly, this scene completely stunned the young girl from Miao territory.

For a moment, she was unable to recover from this shocking sight.

Keep putting on the ear hooks, taking them off, putting them on, taking them off...

It seemed as if he was trying to prove that what he saw was not an illusion.

Chapter 121 Encirclement and Suppression Plan (3k)

It took Wei Shufen a long time to recover from the shock brought on by this communication method that was beyond her comprehension.

She took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down, and put on the exquisite earrings that Cui Ming had given her again.

This time, she focused her mind, listened carefully to Cui Ming's explanation, and watched in person the images and information that Cui Ming transmitted through the telepathic link.

During this process, Wei Shufen would occasionally cover her mouth and let out adorable exclamations!

Cui Ming patiently taught her how to read a map and how to understand the symbols on it.

Red represents enemies, green represents allies, and blue represents the remaining righteous factions and rogue cultivators.

She then went on to explain in detail the tasks she was responsible for in this mission.

Cui Ming needs Wei Shufen to utilize the unique tracking properties of the Heavenly Dragon Gu.

They placed an imperceptible mark on those identified Japanese spies and key figures within the Quanxing organization.

In Cui Ming's plan, Wei Shufen only needed to provide some of the Heavenly Dragon Gu's toxins, which would be mixed into Cui Ming's specially made smoke bombs.

Once a smoke bomb is used, it will mark everyone within range, and others can sense the target's presence through special pendants containing the power of Dan Shi.

"Miss Wei, look."

Cui Ming directly simulated a crowded scene through the mind link, with several marked red dots mixed in.

"Once they are marked by you, as long as they appear within a certain range, the person wearing this pendant will immediately sense their presence and approximate location."

"At that time, no matter how exquisite their disguise is, or how crowded the crowd they are hiding in, they will be like fireflies in the dark, with nowhere to hide."

Wei Shufen understood the key point, and an excited glint flashed in her eyes.

This method is actually quite suitable for her Heavenly Dragon Gu. Once someone is infected by her poison, she can track them down no matter where they are.

Seeing that Wei Shufen had understood the design, Cui Ming continued.

"In the coming days, we will need the manpower of your Miao region to cooperate with the disciples in my alliance who are skilled in manipulating mechanical puppets."

"You don't need to fight them in close combat. Just release poisonous insects from a distance to attack their strongholds. Choose poisons that can paralyze, knock out, and render people unable to resist."

"Then, hidden mechanical puppets will step forward and quickly take control of the incapacitated target. We must eliminate these hidden dangers as much as possible without bloodshed, before they cause widespread unrest."

To ensure the safety of the Miao Gu Masters, Cui Ming emphasized this point.

"As for those who are more powerful and vigilant, Miss Wei, you will need to take action yourself. There is no need to fight to the death; just throw out the special smoke bombs you just used."

Cui Ming took out several specially made smoke bombs, the outer shells of which were engraved with dense runes.

"Infuse your Heavenly Dragon Gu poison into it, and find an opportunity to detonate it near them."

"The sprayed mist will instantly spread to a radius of 300 meters. As long as it adheres to them, the ear hooks will continuously provide us with precise coordinates."

"Let the endless mechanical puppets handle the rest."

Wei Shufen took the smoke bomb from Cui Ming, nodded emphatically, her face full of eager fighting spirit.

Cui Ming did many things for her Miao region, but all she had to do was poison him. She didn't have to fight anyone head-on, nor did she have to put her people in danger.

Wei Shufen readily agreed and left to reunite with her clansmen.

After making arrangements for Wei Shufen, Cui Ming immediately met with Wang Qingshi, the chief of the Diyouxian clan.

The Earthly Wandering Immortal Clan is now crucial to the development of the Divine Machine Alliance.

Cui Ming even subtly suggested that they relocate their territory to the vicinity of the alliance for closer cooperation.

Wang Qingshi expressed his gratitude but declined the proposal to relocate.

"I appreciate Master Cui's kind offer."

"But this clan land was established by our ancestors and embodies the hard work of the entire clan. It cannot be abandoned lightly."
