Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

They encountered a carefully laid ambush, and the tunnel was thoughtfully reinforced with an array to block out sound and prevent explosions within the array from affecting its stability.

To put it nicely, they meticulously crafted a coffin for these thirteen people.

The killing happened in an instant.

The moment Bai Lian activated the formation, a yellowish-brown light filled the entire tunnel.

The next moment, countless interconnected mechanisms were triggered in succession.

They were either wounded or trapped in place.

At the same time, dozens of dreamlike blue butterflies flew towards them from who knows where.

Before they could even figure out what was happening, the butterflies burst open.

The power of the explosion even cracked the array plate used to defend against it.

"It happened!"

Without even bothering to use the mind link, Bai Lian spoke directly.

"The butterfly is too powerful; I wonder if any of them survived."

"Hurry up and go in to take a look!"

After saying that, Bai Lian took the lead, broke the protective array, lifted the cover of his invisibility cloak, and rushed towards the direction of the explosion.

The Xia and Die sisters also realized what was happening and followed Bai Lian's steps toward the explosion area.

By the time the three of them arrived, the smoke and dust from the explosion had completely dissipated.

The thirteen people were all gathered together, and those on the outermost edge were already dead beyond any doubt.

Only the person at the very center, barely surviving under the protection of the others.

Chapter 261 Fairness is always based on strength

When Bai Lian and his two companions brought the sole survivor of the explosion to Cui Ming using the Earth Vein Mystic Armor's Earth Travel Technique.

Just then, the three-tailed fox girl was rolling on the ground with her head in her hands, and she missed the moment when Bai Lian and the other two emerged from underground.

Thus, in the Three-Tailed Fox's sight, Bai Lian and the others suddenly appeared in the old house like ghosts.

The girl was so frightened that she jumped back to the corner of the room, baring her teeth and hissing as if to say, "I'm super fierce!"

Bai Lian and the others simply knelt on one knee to apologize to Cui Ming, ignoring the girl's behavior.

In front of them lay a figure, still emitting wisps of steam, who was unconscious.

Cui Ming was indifferent to this kind of situation, comparing some unknown Japanese soldier to his own puppet men.

Of course, one's own property is more important. A dead person can be caught again, but a dead subordinate is truly gone.

In Cui Ming's heart, even the slightest loss to the enemy would make him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Winning without taking any damage is naturally a good thing.

"Don't worry, Xia and Die will continue to keep watch, and Bai Lian will be in charge of reinforcing the defenses of this old house."

Cui Ming waved his hand and communicated with them through a telepathic connection.

The two sisters, Xia Die and Die, nodded in obedience and slowly merged into the ground.

Bai Lian stood up and began to make modifications using the original formations that came with the old house.

Cui Ming reached out and sent countless pale blue threads toward the half-dead, unconscious figure on the ground.

The three-tailed fox girl, huddled in the corner, finally realized that Bai Lian and the other two had come to this house from underground.

Then...they must have discovered the tunnel as well?

These people are so strange; they don't say a single word to each other.

This is making it hard for me to figure out what's going on! Humph!

The three-tailed fox girl's eyes darted around, and a plan came to mind.

If you won't let me know, then I'll go see for myself.

With a clang of a sword being drawn, a long, gleaming blade appeared around the neck of the three-tailed fox girl who was about to move.

"Huh!!!"

The three-tailed fox girl was so frightened that she stood on tiptoe and raised her hands high.

"I surrender! I surrender! *sobs* (┯_┯)"

The three-tailed fox girl was too scared to move. Where did these perverts come from?

She felt that even if the Qi within her body wasn't sealed, with her current skill level, her head would be severed from her body in an instant by this long sword.

and so…

Three-tailed fox: I'm begging you! Please let me go! Waaaaah! ?_?

However, the three-tailed fox girl's pitiful state did not last long.

Because in the next moment, Cui Ming used the power of Dan Shi to quickly repair the charred figure on the ground, who was barely breathing, restoring him to his original appearance.

The three-tailed fox girl turned deathly pale upon seeing the man's appearance.

Cui Ming keenly noticed this scene and stole a moment to glance at the other person.

This action was clearly noticed by the three-tailed fox girl, whose face paled even more.

"It seems you recognize the other person?"

Cui Ming remained focused on repairing the figure suspended by the hidden wires.

But every word she uttered was like a heavy hammer, striking the heart of the three-tailed fox girl.

"You...you guys aren't from the Curse Binding Society?"

That's it...that's it! That's why you don't recognize Onikiri!

"I'm doomed... I'm finished."

After being terrified by this series of events, the three-tailed fox girl collapsed to the ground, too exhausted to even notice the long sword at her neck.

If it weren't for Yongen's quick reflexes, the three-tailed fox might have already slit its own throat.

"What exactly happened? What is the connection between the Curse Binding Society and your Demon Alliance?"

The pale blue light emanating from Cui Ming grew stronger, shining on the three-tailed fox girl and causing her gaze to gradually lose focus.

"The appearance of Oni-swallowing means that I have been targeted by the Curse-Binding Society."

"In the Monster Alliance, every monster that is targeted by the Curse-Binding Society will be taken away by the Curse-Binding Society to become their experimental subjects."

The three-tailed fox girl told Cui Ming her story in utter despair.

"Even under the protection of the higher-ups of the Demon Alliance, they could no longer stop the other side from capturing them. The Curse-Binding Society can even capture demons within the Demon Alliance itself."

"Huh? The Monster Alliance isn't going to do anything about it?"

Cui Ming found it strange. According to the history of the development of supernatural beings in that island nation, this monster alliance had left a significant mark on history.

Having developed to this point, its prestige shouldn't be this bad.

Is there some hidden secret involved?

"We can't control it. Ever since Lord Hagoromo Gitsune disappeared, the entire Yokai Alliance has been like a pile of loose sand. In the Yokai Alliance's headquarters, even a cadre named Kiguruma was captured."

The three-tailed fox girl spoke more and more fluently, and in the end, the unfocused look in her eyes simply disappeared.

The conversation with Cui Ming became increasingly vivid, and when they reached the sad parts, it was as if they were chatting with an old friend, and she burst into tears, revealing her true feelings.

She had completely forgotten how this person had forced his way in just fifteen minutes ago, how he had easily subdued the ghost she feared, and how he had begun treating him.

"what do I do…"

The three-tailed fox girl burst into tears as she spoke.

"wrong…"

"I still have one more chance!"

The three-tailed fox girl seemed to have thought of something, and a glimmer of hope ignited within her, but then she became despondent again.

"No... I'm just a nobody in the Yokai Alliance. The Nura Clan of Kanto would never offend such a behemoth as the Cursed Association for the sake of someone as insignificant as me."

The three-tailed fox girl's newly ignited hope was instantly shattered, and she became utterly dejected and lifeless.

"Moreover, the distance from Hiroshima to Kanto is so far, and I also have to evade the pursuit of the Cursed Bound Society. Someone as insignificant as me would certainly be doomed."

"I'm... finished..."

Isn't that a coincidence?

Cui Ming raised an eyebrow. What a great opportunity!

Cui Ming casually injected a large ball of Dan Shi power into the newly repaired Ghost Devourer body and then threw it to Bai Lian.

They completely ignored Bai Lian, whose eyes widened in surprise when Cui Ming infused him with the power of Dan Shi.

The next moment, Cui Ming appeared directly next to the three-tailed fox girl.

"Don't worry, we're not anything good..."

"What I mean is that we are all partners of justice, and my companions and I will never allow this kind of bullying and oppression of the weak to happen!"

At this moment, Cui Ming is a true champion of justice, the kind of person who would make even Red A leave behind two swords before he could leave.

"Young lady! Don't be afraid, you just need to trust me!"

Cui Ming revealed a malicious smile, but under the strange allure of the power of the pill devouring, he remained unmoved.

To the three-tailed fox girl, this smile appeared incredibly sunny and cheerful, brimming with vitality—truly the three-tailed fox's dream lover.

Is it true that a beautiful girl in crisis will meet her Prince Charming?

At this moment, the three-tailed fox girl, who was originally very hostile to humans and believed that it was better to rely on herself than on others, had her worldview completely distorted.

"This humble woman, Meifumen, absolutely trusts you, young master. I will love only you for the rest of my life... no, I will only trust you."

The three-tailed fox girl, also known as Mifukumon, looked at Cui Ming with stars in her eyes.
