Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

In this bizarre situation that was both chaotic and remarkably orderly.

In the lake water, an exceptionally large egg suddenly shattered.

The soul sealed within was noticeably more robust than the other souls, but then burst into laughter.

The soul seemed to have broken through all obstacles and vanished on the spot.

The entire Sacred Pool of the Cursed Guild fell into complete silence in an instant.

Whether it's on the surface of the lake or beneath it.

Everyone was utterly shocked at that moment.

Since the establishment of the Curse Binding Society.

After this sacred pool was established.

No one has ever been able to escape from this sacred pool.

This is the first time in hundreds of years.

Everyone stared in disbelief in the direction where the soul had vanished, remaining silent.

Only a few old guys who had joined the Cursed Guild long ago had inscrutable expressions on their faces.

You have to understand, every single one of these guys who joined the Curse Binding Society was utterly disappointed with the current state of the island nation.

Only then did he sign a contract with the Great God of the Cursed Bound Society.

They wanted to break with tradition and create a space where even those of them with innate superhuman abilities could live freely, and they fought desperately for it.

However, over the centuries, far too many people have lost themselves on this arduous path.

They only remember to break with tradition, but completely forget why they broke with tradition in the first place.

Many people in the sacred pool probably don't understand what that scene just happened meant.

Only the old folks who remained conscious knew what had happened.

When the contract was signed with the Great God, there was a provision in the contract.

If the contractor finds a true home, the contract will automatically terminate, allowing the contractor to leave.

The terms seem simple, but in reality...

When it comes to securing a way out for those with extraordinary abilities, life and death are just trivial matters.

Moreover, after death, the souls of members of the Cursed Guild are reclaimed by the purple energy bestowed by the Great God.

After recuperating at the sacred pool for a period of time, one can throw oneself back into the battle.

For the naturally gifted people of hundreds of years ago, this was nothing short of a miracle.

It is still a miracle that allows one to remain invincible.

By joining the Curse Binding Society, one's life is directly guaranteed.

However, they were still too young.

Chapter 263 So, Gul'dan, what's the price?

If it were any modern person who had been exposed to the storylines of various modern TV dramas and games, etc.

Seeing such generous benefits, they would definitely run away without looking back.

There's no such thing as a free lunch, especially when it comes to contracts that only tell you the good things and never mention the bad.

All I can say is that the legendary contractor Mephisto gave it a thumbs up.

After signing the contract and joining the Curse Binding Society, these innate superhumans discovered that something was wrong after several battles.

First of all, the treaty is indeed correct.

Those who joined the Cursed Guild could indeed return to the Guild's sacred pool after their deaths through pre-reserved souls.

Furthermore, the Curse Binding Society will thoughtfully prepare a body for you to use in advance.

That sounds pretty good.

But they discovered that resurrection came at a price.

The more times they are resurrected, the less sanity they will have as human beings.

In the end, they might even become puppets who only obey the orders of the Curse Binding Society.

After that, they obeyed the great god without question, even if it meant jumping into a mountain of knives and a sea of ​​fire without uttering a sound.

Those older folks who were still relatively clear-headed began their plans to slack off.

But would that great deity agree to that? Of course not.

After a period of intense back-and-forth, the two sides finally reached a consensus.

The older generation of innate extraordinary individuals were responsible for filling the gaps in the Curse Binding Society by recruiting people, while the Great God stopped persecuting them.

Although both sides knew that it would be impossible for them to live together peacefully in the future.

But at least it left a buffer period between the two.

Those who joined the Cursed Guild later no longer had that freedom clause when signing the contract.

The older generation of people with innate supernatural abilities tacitly kept silent about these side effects.

This tacit understanding has been maintained between the two sides to this day.

Gui Tun was one of the earliest innate superhumans to join the Curse Binding Society, and he was also one of the most daring and courageous.

It was thanks to Oni-don that the Curse-Binding Society gradually gained a foothold in the island nation.

But as he died more and more times and completely lost his mind, he became the most loyal dog under the command of the Great God.

Now, the sudden freedom that Ghost Devourer has gained has given a renewed sense of hope to the older generation of innate superhumans who had resigned themselves to their fate.

Even someone like Onikiri, who was already under the control of Omikami, could regain his freedom, so what about them...?

Within the sacred pool, these older generation of innate extraordinary beings exchanged glances and began to find excuses to leave, heading off to search for any information related to Ghost Devouring.

What happened in this sacred pool was subsequently relayed to the ears of the Great God of the Cursed Bound Society.

......

Meanwhile, Cui Ming and his group were still on their way.

Meanwhile, Bai Lian, who was at the back of the team, was still performing routine maintenance and adjustments on Gui Tun.

The Oni-don, which had been like a puppet without any opinions, suddenly reacted.

His previously lifeless pupils began to focus.

The body is gradually recovering, and under the conscious control of the individual, the muscles begin to move.

This subtle difference was immediately noticed by Bai Lian.

He immediately threw a phantom array plate at the feet of the Ghost Devourer and quickly reported the situation to Cui Ming via mental link.

"My lord, something is wrong with Oni-don. He seems to have suddenly developed self-awareness."

Ok?

When Cui Ming first captured Gui Tun, he realized that Gui Tun seemed to lack independent consciousness.

It's even more like a puppet than the human puppet that Cui Ming developed himself.

Therefore, the transformation after Bai Lian took over went very smoothly. It seemed that the large amount of Dan Shi power that Cui Ming injected that day had cut off the methods of the Curse Binding Society.

The puppet that Ghost Devourer has lost its spirit and the ability of the screen controller can only mechanically carry out orders without any independent thought.

If a complex situation arises, unpredictable consequences may occur.

Therefore, Cui Ming did not like making the puppet cannon into this shape unless he truly hated the other party and used it to vent his anger.

Judging from the current situation, the transformation and brainwashing of the Higanbana ninja, including Thousand Faces, Hundred Refinements, and even Mist and Butterfly, have been of great help to Cui Ming.

Therefore, when Bai Lian reported the news, Cui Ming was more curious than he was wary.

What could possibly restore a human puppet that had been tortured to the point of losing its mind to its original state?

The distance between them wasn't far to begin with; it was only a short jog after turning around.

Cui Ming then spotted the Ghost Devourer trapped by the pale blue array.

At this moment, however, Oni-Tun was very quiet.

There was neither panic upon regaining consciousness about his condition, nor madness stemming from self-doubt.

He simply waited quietly, and when Cui Ming appeared in his field of vision, he visibly perked up.

The illusion array beneath Gui Tun's feet, which was functioning normally, seemed to have no effect on him whatsoever.

Bai Lian was also startled by Gui Tun's actions. It turned out that the hasty precautions he had taken were completely useless.

"Lord!"

Gui Tun immediately knelt down on one knee before Cui Ming, bowing his head deeply to show his loyalty.

His voice had a youthful vigor that seemed somewhat incongruous with his middle-aged face.

"Ghost Devourer is willing to fight for your ideals! To fight for that sliver of hope for all the extraordinary beings in the world!"

What is that?

How did it become fighting for ideals?

Why are we fighting over a single thread of truth?

Even if it's about fighting for a sliver of heavenly secrets, it's for the sake of the Eastern Kingdom!

You island nation have plenty of people who will come to settle scores with you. Do you really think I'm your savior?

Although Cui Ming's mind was racing, he only showed a hint of surprise on the surface.

He looked at Gui Tun kneeling on the ground, his words filled with curiosity.

"Oni-dono, why do you pledge allegiance to me? Aren't you...the most loyal sword of the Curse-Binding Society?"

With a casual wave of his hand, Cui Ming retrieved the illusion array plate on the ground that was used to trap the ghost.
