Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

A moment later, the Thunder Beast transformed into a handsome young man with a few blue highlights in his white hair.

"All right."

Cui Ming took two steps back.

"Stand up and take a look."

Cui Ming raised his hand, and a tall, full-length mirror was taken out of his Devouring Pouch and placed in front of the Thunder Beast.

The Thunder Beast looked up and froze on the spot.

What did he see in the mirror after surviving for four hundred years?

A handsome young nobleman, dressed in a magnificent blue and gold robe, with a heroic air about him.

Thunder Beast touched his handsome face, which was comparable to that of the readers, in disbelief, and burst into tears!

If I had known that there would be so many benefits in joining the Lord, I would have been willing to become a god immediately!

Fortunately, it's not too late!

The Thunder Beast's pent-up frustration, which had lingered for four hundred years, seemed to return the moment it saw its reflection in the mirror.

At this moment, Lei Shou firmly believed in Cui Ming, and also believed in himself, that he was the God of Thunder!

As the Thunder Beast grew more confident, the noble young man in the mirror also became increasingly dashing and imposing.

Its momentum continued to rise, and the Thunder Beast seemed to have returned to its former glory.

That state of mind where he dared to challenge Abe no Seimei, and dared to charge into major cities with a group of fellow demons, all for the sake of a sliver of hope.

That's how I gradually regained my spirit.

Chapter 278 Reactions from All Parties

Thunder Beast stood in front of the mirror, his gaze lingering for a long time.

He could hardly recognize the figure in the mirror.

The deep blue gown was embroidered with golden lightning patterns, and the hem reached her ankles, shimmering slightly under the light.

A few strands of blue were highlighted in his white hair, like lightning suddenly flashing across the sky.

Even her face has been reshaped by Bai Lian. Her deep wrinkles have faded considerably, her loose skin has tightened, and her jawline has become more defined.

His eyes were still the same eyes, but something inside them had changed.

The light that flickered in those eyes was no longer the cautious evasion of the past four hundred years, but a light he had almost forgotten.

That was something he had when he was young.

Thunder Beast raised its hand, palm facing up.

A thin arc of blue-white electricity leaped from his fingertip, crackling in his palm.

Ever since witnessing the fate of many of his fellow members who joined the Cursed Guild, Thunder Beast has completely lost all will to live and only wants to survive.

But things are different now!

The Lord has now infused his body with divine power, and the Thunder Beast's abilities have been strengthened and mutated.

The lightning summoned by the Thunder Beast's power turned deep blue and also carried an additional sense of oppression.

He clenched his fist, and the electric arc disappeared.

The young man in the mirror also clenched his fists, his eyes resolute.

"Lord!"

Thunder Beast turned around, faced Cui Ming, and knelt on one knee.

"The Thunder Beast is willing to die for its master."

Cui Ming waved his hand casually.

"What's the point of dying? You're more useful when you're alive. Get up."

Thunder Beast stood up, opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he only bowed deeply.

He had already planned on his way here that he would find an opportunity to run away immediately.

If things go wrong even slightly, find a chance to slip away.

Having lived for four hundred years, he may not be good at anything else, but his ability to escape is top-notch.

So many pursuers at Osaka Castle couldn't stop him, how could this dilapidated cave possibly trap him?

But now he doesn't want to run anymore.

Even he himself found it strange when this odd idea arose.

For four hundred years, he has not trusted anyone, not even the old guys who have lived with him until now.

But now, he trusts this young man more and more.

Could it be that young Akira Yamashita has such strong personal charm that he unconsciously trusted the other party?

But Thunder Beast had a vague feeling that this wasn't entirely true.

Cui Ming didn't look at him again, and turned to walk towards the four members of the Curse Binding Society.

The four men leaned against the rock wall, their faces pale and their eyes unfocused.

Their vital energy had long been drained by the ghost, and after waiting in the cave for so long, they no longer had the strength to even stand up.

"Bai Lian, these four people are in your hands."

Cui Ming wasn't very interested in the remaining people, so he directly communicated with Bai Lian through a mental link.

"It doesn't need to be too complicated. Just sever the contract of the Curse Binding Society and fill their bodies with the power of Dan Shi."

As for whether or not to modify your body, that's entirely up to you. If they need it, they can have it fixed as well.

Bai Lian nodded, and the six mechanical arms unfolded, taking the tools down from the shelf.

Cui Ming then looked at the Thunder Beast.

"Come with me."

The two walked all the way to the depths of the cave.

Mad Bones was still practicing with that giant bone armor, the rumbling sounds shaking the rock walls.

Cui Ming found a relatively quiet corner to sit down and gestured for Lei Shou to sit down as well.

“I’m going to send you back to the Curse Binding Society.”

Cui Ming got straight to the point.

The Thunder Beast was stunned.

He thought Cui Ming would keep him by his side, like Gui Tun.

I didn't expect it would be him going back.

Cui Ming continued.

“You’ve been in the Curse-Binding Society for four hundred years. You know a lot of people and a lot of things.”

Those members with special skills should try their best to gather together.

As for those who have lost their minds and become puppets, leave them for now and I'll figure out a solution later.

Thunder Beast had no suspicions; he was naturally happy that his lord was willing to liberate more of his kin.

"What does the Lord want me to do?"

"Recruit people."

Cui Ming looked serious.

"Those in the Curse-Binding Society who are still dissatisfied with Omikami, and who do not want to become puppets."

Find them and bring them to me. I will then help them sever their contracts.

Thunder Beast's heart stirred.

If this can be achieved, the curse will be broken from within.

Thunder Beast looked at Cui Ming, a complex emotion welling up inside him.

This Akira Yamashita seems to be somewhat different from what he imagined.

In island nations, everyone wants to be superior to others, and everyone only thinks about being above everyone else.

A good person like the Lord, who so painstakingly plans and schemes to save all people, is truly rare...

He had lived so long and had seen many people, but he had never seen anyone as selfless as the Lord.

"I understand."

Thunder Beast made a firm decision and nodded resolutely.

"After I get back, I will try to contact those who are still conscious."

Cui Ming took out a crystal the size of a fingernail from his pocket and handed it to the Thunder Beast.

"Take this with you. In case of an emergency, crush it, and I can sense it."

Thunder Beast took the crystal and carefully put it away.

Cui Ming stood up and dusted off his clothes.

"Let's go see your companions."

When the two walked back, Bai Lian had already completed the transformation of the first person.

The man lay on the ground, his chest wound healing, and his complexion much better than before.

Bai Lian was inscribing runes on a second person, with all six mechanical arms operating simultaneously, their movements precise and swift.

In fact, infiltrating the Curse Binding Society was much easier than infiltrating the All-Eyed Sect.

The Eastern Kingdom is vast and rich in resources; who knows, it might give birth to some extraordinary people.

But this tiny island nation is much simpler.
