Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

This remarkable change reminded Wugensheng of the changes among the Quanxing members within Sichuan Province over the past few years.

In the past, although Gao Gen would also target some Quanxing people, Wu Gensheng was also investigating them.

But starting last year, it was as if the other party suddenly had an epiphany.

He formed cliques within Sichuan Province, and those who did not join his group were either powerful but shrewd old hands who didn't care about worldly affairs.

Only a few fled to other provinces; most were dealt with quietly.

This has resulted in the fact that there is now only one voice within the Quanxing (a secret society) in Sichuan Province, and the Quanxing have become unprecedentedly united—can you believe it!

Wu Gensheng never dreamed that Gao Gen would one day possess such methods.

There are even quite a few people within the Quanxing sect who, because of Gao Gen's style of doing things, are considering recommending him to be the deputy sect leader.

Even more surprisingly, a small minority has been secretly learning from Gao Gen's methods, hoping to become a local tyrant like him.

The next day, they got into a fight over who should be the boss.

The leader was beheaded on the spot and his head was hung at his doorstep...

So how did Gao Gen manage to win over these people?

This is something Wugensheng has always been curious about; with such a stubborn mind, it's absolutely impossible to do it.

Upon seeing Cui Ming, whose style of doing things was somewhat similar, Wu Gengsheng instantly had a thought: what if this thought came true...?

His current predicament is tantamount to being sold off like a headless chicken.

Don't stay here for long!

After figuring out some key points, Wugensheng just wanted to slip away as quickly as possible.

The waters of Sichuan Province had already become too murky and dangerous due to the presence of the Divine Machine Alliance and Cui Ming.

I originally intended to jump in and fish in troubled waters, and also to see what Gao Gen was planning.

As a result, it's hard to say whether Wugensheng is the one slacking off or the one being slacking off...

While the water is still murky, it's crucial to escape as quickly as possible!

If we stay any longer, we'll have to let Cui Mingteng make a move.

Those who harbor ill intentions in Shenji Town will likely meet a bad end.

Wugensheng even made up his mind that he would never set foot in Sichuan Province again unless absolutely necessary.

The next morning, as dawn broke, the city gates of what everyone called Shenji Town opened.

Wugensheng maintained his disguise, using a deliberately altered demeanor and gait, blending into the early morning flow of people leaving the city, and slowly walked towards the city gate.

Wu Gensheng had no intention of doing anything suspicious; he would simply blend into the crowd and leave.

However, just as Wugensheng was about to pass through the city gate, his brow twitched.

I glanced up and saw a group of people walking towards me from outside the city.

This leader was one of the reasons Wugensheng came here.

Gao Gen, who was given a new nickname by people in the martial arts world: "Demon Blade".

Gao Gen still carried the lingering stench of blood.

Having fought a full night of killing, I deliberately walked slowly to calm myself down and adjust my mindset.

So Gao Gen rushed back to the Divine Machine Alliance, weary from his journey, to report the situation at the front to Cui Ming.

However, despite Wugensheng's disguise, Gao Gen felt a strange sensation inexplicably rise in his heart the moment he brushed past him.

This feeling was vague and ethereal, but it made Gao Gen feel somewhat uneasy.

This made him frown, and he subconsciously stopped in his tracks, about to turn around and start questioning him.

But just as Gao Gen hesitated, Wang Erhu, who was beside him, chimed in.

"Boss Gao, what's wrong? Is something the problem?"

Gao Gen's attention was drawn to Wang Erhu, and he was slightly taken aback.

Then, as he turned to the side, trying to find that figure that made him feel something was amiss, he realized something was wrong.

Wugensheng had already completely disappeared into the crowd, like a drop of water entering the sea, quickly moving away from the area where Gao Gen and the others were.

Gao Gen merely frowned, suppressing the strange feeling in his heart.

Perhaps it's just a misperception after a series of battles?

Gao Gen did not delve into the matter further, but instead turned to Wang Erhu.

"Take the rest of you and rest for a while. We have another mission in two hours."

Wang Erhu responded and led the others toward the previously agreed-upon location.

Gao Gen, on the other hand, went directly to Shenji Baiqiaolou to meet Cui Ming.

Having narrowly escaped death, Wugensheng finally breathed a sigh of relief after getting far away from the town, but cold sweat had unknowingly seeped from his forehead.

How dare Gao Gen lead the other Quanxing people to set foot in Shenji Town?

Moreover, these people all exuded a murderous aura, so it seems that the attack last night wasn't limited to Shenji Town...

The actions of Gao Gen and others almost confirmed Wu Gensheng's suspicions.

The entire Quanxing faction in Sichuan Province, or at least Gao Gen's faction, has probably reached some kind of cooperation with the Shenji Alliance.

It might even be a weapon in the hands of the Divine Machine Alliance, specifically used for shady dealings!

"Hey... this pool is really deep."

Wugensheng chuckled softly and shook his head.

But what does all this have to do with him?

Wu Gensheng has never been interested in building up power or vying for dominance in a region.

Whether Gao Gen intends to betray Quanxing and establish his own faction, or to seek revenge against a powerful enemy, is entirely his personal choice.

All Wugensheng needed to do was ensure that he didn't get caught up in this vortex.

This incident further solidified his resolve to stay away from Sichuan Province.

But to be on the safe side, he approached a caravan of merchants with a beaming smile.

Inside the Divine Strategist's Hundred Treasures Pavilion, Gao Gen was reporting to Cui Ming on the situation of the mopping-up operation within Sichuan Province the previous night.

"...The Quanxing demons who have flooded in this time have varying levels of strength."

"The vast majority of them are just a bunch of mediocre people, and most of them have now been intercepted and eliminated."

"We also allowed some of the less skilled ones to 'luckily' break through the outer defense line, and then handed them over to the Tang Clan disciples to practice on, as planned."

"According to intelligence, most of the truly troublesome, seasoned veterans who have lived for who knows how long are holding back, seemingly realizing that this bounty is a strategy of using one enemy to devour another."

Gao Gen shared his analysis.

"However, there is no shortage of madmen in the Quanxing sect. It is hard to guarantee that a few tough guys who are overconfident in their strength or blinded by greed will emerge."

"According to external intelligence, quite a few people have recently been using 'Clay Man Liu' to disguise themselves and infiltrate Sichuan Province, so we need to remain vigilant."

Cui Ming was quite satisfied after listening to Gao Gen's report.

For a large-scale cleanup operation led by the real players, achieving such results and gathering a considerable amount of material is already quite an accomplishment.

The true nature of the sect is simply lacking in large-scale actual combat, and its cooperation with the Divine Machine Alliance also needs to be honed in such real battles.

"It's already done quite well."

Cui Ming smiled and affirmed Gao Gen's words, then turned his gaze to Shenji Town, which was gradually awakening outside Sichuan.

"Let the men rest for a while. We still have a big show to perform, so we can't afford to slack off."

As the sun rose higher, representatives from various sects, guided by disciples of the Divine Machine Alliance, began to head to the Divine Machine Arena located on the edge of town.

Last night's turmoil undoubtedly shrouded the conference in mystery, and everyone slowly entered the venue with different thoughts in mind.

The near-modern decor and facilities inside the venue once again astonished these people with outdated perspectives.

They all exclaimed in amazement, as if they were Liu Grandma visiting the Grand View Garden.

Unlike the simple layout of traditional martial arts arenas, the Shenji Arena is a unique building that combines many modern concepts and mechanical techniques.

A huge venue capable of holding 10,000 people;

Bright energy lamps provide stable lighting;

An excellent ventilation system ensures air circulation and a comfortable internal temperature;

There were even simple sound transmission devices built using mechanical tricks to ensure that the sound from the stage could be heard clearly from every corner of the venue.

Those responsible for guiding and introducing the students were disciples wearing the knowledge equipment of the Divine Machine Alliance.

They appeared calm and composed, and their demeanor was efficient.

Most ordinary outer disciples are equipped with various mechanical prosthetics to assist in movement or enhance physical fitness.

Even more eye-catching were the inner disciples wearing lightweight exoskeleton armor, whose mobility and strength were greatly enhanced by the exoskeleton armor.

When the mechanical puppets were not in use, these inner disciples were responsible for maintaining order.

High-ranking disciples like Tang Miaoxing and Zhuge Mingyue are equipped with more sophisticated Xuanji Armor, which is even specially made according to their individual characteristics.

They were also equipped with multi-functional glasses for receiving information and wore ear-hook devices with communication capabilities.

At this moment, Tang Miaoxing and Zhuge Mingyue were receiving representatives from various factions with ease, giving them a concise introduction to the facilities in the venue.

This demonstration was a silent declaration to all the extraordinary individuals who came to the Divine Machine Alliance, showcasing the alliance's leading technological prowess.

As time went on, everyone returned to their assigned positions.

After all the leaders and elders of the Divine Machine Alliance had taken their places, Cui Ming, riding Fenrir in its black wolf form, slowly rose from the center of the venue.

"Originally, we should have directly discussed the plan to wipe out the Japanese ninja."

"But I believe that you are all more interested in the actions of my Divine Machine Alliance last night."

Cui Ming clapped his hands as he appeared on stage.

From the surrounding passageways, numerous Shadow Spider puppets and Tang Clan disciples wearing exoskeletons escorted more than ten Japanese monsters captured the previous night into the venue.
