Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

Cui Ming touched his chin.

“Very good. From now on, you will be called ‘Stinger’ and a member of the Raven Chaser Squad.”

The man nodded.

"Yes, my lord."

Cui Ming moved on to the next one.

......

Inside the inn, Crow Chaser and Shadow Stitch hurriedly packed their things, preparing to leave.

They had just reached the top of the stairs when they suddenly heard footsteps coming from downstairs.

Chasing Crow instinctively took a step back, his hand resting on the weapon at his waist.

The person who came upstairs was the casino manager, a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a kimono and with a fawning smile on his face.

This person is Yamada, the head of the Cursed Bondage Association's base in Okayama Prefecture.

"Oh? My lords, are you leaving?"

Yamada asked, puzzled.

"Why don't you rest a little longer?"

Zhuiya stared at him coldly, without saying a word.

Shadow Stitch stepped forward and whispered.

Have you informed headquarters about our situation?

Yamada nodded with a serious expression.

"Don't worry, I have already notified them."

As you command, communicate using the highest level of secret language.

Headquarters said they would send someone over as soon as possible, and advised the two gentlemen to rest here and not to act rashly.

Yingfeng frowned.

"How fast is 'as soon as possible'?"

Yamada shook his head with a troubled expression.

"This... I don't know either."

But based on past experience, it will take at least three days.

Three days...

Crow Chaser and Shadow Stitch exchanged a glance.

Three days is enough time for that group of people to travel hundreds of miles.

"I'm not waiting anymore."

The chaser made a swift and decisive move.

"We'll keep chasing. You stay here and wait for reinforcements. Have them follow our trail."

Yamada looked troubled.

"This... Sirs, the orders from headquarters are... perhaps..."

Zhuiya ignored him, walked past him, and went downstairs.

The shadow stitch naturally followed suit.

Yamada stood there, watching their departing figures, and sighed.

These two old men, relying on the protection of the Curse-Binding Society, are truly fearless.

Yamada turned around, went downstairs, walked out of the hotel, and headed towards the casino.

As soon as I turned into a small alley, the ground beneath my feet suddenly softened.

Before he could react, a huge, hand-shaped object emerged from the ground, grabbed his waist, and dragged him into the soil.

"Well--!"

Yamada only had time to let out a short cry of surprise before he disappeared underground.

On the ground, everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

......

Temporary campsite on a major road outside Okayama Prefecture.

Cui Ming stood in front of a group of people, with Gui Tun, the leader of the group, accompanying him.

There were a total of twenty people, including Oni-Tun, making a total of twenty-one.

Over the past three days, the bodies of all the members of the Cursed Guild who were killed have been completely modified.

Furthermore, each member was covered with a faint, ethereal blue light.

That was the power of Dan Shi, used to sever their connection with the Sacred Pool of the Curse-Binding Society.

"Master, Yamada has arrived as well."

Bai Lian's voice came from behind.

Cui Ming turned around and saw several ground insects placing the unconscious Yamada on the ground.

Yamada lay limp, his face deathly pale, still unconscious.

"Put it over there."

Cui Ming pointed to Bai Lian's side.

The earthworm dragged Yamada over and handed him over to Bailian for a new round of transformation.

At the same time, Cui Ming reached out and pressed his hand on his forehead.

A deep blue light seeped in.

A moment later, Yamada opened his eyes, his gaze empty, before regaining its clarity.

He sat up, looked at Cui Ming, his eyes filled with awe.

"Lord."

Cui Ming nodded, gesturing for him to stand aside.

Great, now we can start taking control of Okayama Prefecture.

For the past three days, he has used all his spare time to brainwash and modify these corpses.

The power of the pill severed their connection with the sacred pool, the refined mechanical arts repaired their injuries, and new instructions were implanted through a mental link.

Now it's finally time to reap the rewards.

"There are only two elite monsters left."

Cui Ming nodded in satisfaction.

"Soon. Once they're all caught, this batch will be complete."

"Alright, everyone get ready."

Cui Ming said to Gui Tun.

"Those two guys will be leaving Okayama Prefecture soon, it'll be your turn to step in."

A hint of anticipation flashed in Oni-Tun's eyes.

"My lord intends to..."

Cui Ming grinned mischievously.

"What do you think their expressions would be if they found their dead comrades suddenly appearing in front of them?"

......

After talking with Yamada, Chase and Shadow Sewing walked straight out of the inn and hurried along the street.

They moved quickly, but remained vigilant throughout.

The crow's nose twitched slightly, trying to catch the lingering scent in the air.

Shadow Stitch's gaze swept around constantly, not missing a single possible shadow.

There were few pedestrians on the street, and when a few people passed by, they would quickly lower their heads to avoid being seen.

They soon left Okayama Prefecture and arrived on the road to Hyogo Prefecture.

Everything seemed perfectly normal at first.

But chasing after the crows always felt like something was off.

He stopped and took a deep breath.

In the air, besides the scent they had been tracking, there was also a familiar smell.

That was the aura of a member of the Curse Binding Society.

No, there's more than one.

Chasing Crow closed his eyes and fully activated his supernatural power. The source of the aura became increasingly clear.

Moreover, they were nearby, and there were more than one, at least a dozen.

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the end of the road.

There, a figure slowly walked over.

Zhui Ya's pupils contracted.

That's a demon swallowing.

Moreover, there were more than a dozen people following behind Gui Tun.

He recognized all those people; they were all his subordinates who had died during the pursuit.

"How is this possible..."
