Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

As they drew closer, the other party's concealment techniques gradually lost their effectiveness against people with keen senses like Tang Tongbi and Cui Ming.

As the vanguard of the team reached the edge of the ambush area, Cui Ming finally saw the ambush attackers' true identities with the help of the Shadow Spiders.

Their method of concealment was somewhat different; instead of hiding in trees or in the mountains, they... lurked in the ground.

It is as if it has become one with the soil and rocks, and its aura is connected with the earth's veins. It is almost imperceptible unless one actively draws out the Qi.

Its form is concealed beneath the soil by the power of the earth's veins, making it difficult for ordinary people to detect.

They are like fish swimming in water, agile and eerie underground.

"This is..."

A look of understanding flashed in Cui Ming's eyes, followed by a deeper solemnity.

He already knew the origins of these ambushers.

These are a group of... wandering immortals!

This is a rather ancient and mysterious group of people.

Their ability to roam freely in this world is basically based on bloodline inheritance.

Not only direct descendants, but also collateral descendants have a certain probability of awakening abilities.

Even so, the number of Earthly Wanderers is pitifully small.

After all, relying on awakened innate abilities to add more superhumans is no different from winning a lottery.

Earth Wanderer is the most skilled at using earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magical ability) to move forward and manipulate the earth's energy.

Tu Xingsun from the Investiture of the Gods is probably the ancestor of this group.

No wonder the Qi that Cui Ming sensed was so authentic; they all relied on the ability of bloodline inheritance, and could almost be said to be made from the same mold.

Can it not be orthodox?

Yet this is a group of people who rarely participate in worldly disputes and have even less interaction with assassin sects like the Tang Clan.

Why would they intercept the Tang Clan's path at this time and in this place?

Cui Ming's vigilance reached its peak.

matter...

It seemed to be much more complicated than he had anticipated.

Cui Ming had no choice but to use a mental link to stop the Tang Clan disciples who were preparing to use their ruthlessness.

Just kidding! With the methods of the Tang Clan, these wandering immortals would barely get close!

Even the Tang Clan members had to kneel on the ground, begging them not to die.

According to Cui Ming's investigation, this group of wandering immortals numbered no more than five.

Earthly Immortals are already few in number, so if something really goes wrong...

He can forget about running his Tang Clan business from now on; he'll just have to worry about how to keep these scoundrels at bay.

Fortunately, ever since I faced Taro Doma...

Cui Ming had been thinking about how to deal with these enemies hiding in the ground, and now this has come in handy!

"The ambushing enemy is a wandering immortal!"

Cui Mingqing's cold voice instantly entered the minds of every Tang Sect disciple through the mind link.

"I'll be careful in my actions, focusing on subduing and catching them alive if possible. I'll try to force them out of the ground."

The instructions were clear and unambiguous.

Although the Tang Sect disciples were puzzled, none of them questioned it.

They simply changed the type of concealed weapon they had prepared.

The deadly poison darts have been replaced with nets that have paralyzing and binding effects, along with hand spikes that have been reapplied with paralyzing potion.

The toxins circulating in the body also quietly dissipated.

Each of their bodies was quietly covered with a layer of black substance.

The Tang Clan members, who had quickly changed their weapons and spells, were then filled with doubt.

A wandering immortal?

It was actually this group of mysterious guys?

Why would they approach the Tang Clan?

Despite their doubts, their long-term training made them instinctively carry out orders.

The formation was quickly adjusted, shifting from an offensive to a defensive and conservative stance.

Meanwhile, Cui Ming had already begun to control the mechanical puppet.

The runes on the surface of the puppets, disguised as cargo, lit up one by one, emitting a low hum.

The disguised shell rapidly deformed and reformed amidst the clicking of mechanisms!

Not only the puppet itself, Cui Ming even used hidden wires to disassemble the carriage's frame and chassis, and then reassembled them with the puppet.

In just a few breaths, two simple pile drivers, assembled from multiple puppet parts and the main body of a carriage, appeared at both ends of the procession.

At the same time, the earth spirits lurking underground also made their move.

Their goal was clear, like five swimming fish enveloped by the earth's energy.

They arrived precisely beneath the carriages carrying samples of the puppet prosthetic limbs and crucial data.

Their intention was clear: not to kill, but to seize the Tang Clan's goods.

"The intelligence was so accurate?"

Cui Ming frowned.

If their intelligence was accurate, that would be one thing, but how did they, who were underground, manage to have such precise knowledge of the information about their counterparts on the surface?

The existence and transportation route of these prosthetics are highly confidential within the Tang Sect. How could this wandering immortal know about them?

Is there a traitor among them?

No...impossible.

The disciples on this trip were all rigorously selected and are utterly loyal to the Tang Clan.

Moreover, before setting off, Cui Ming had secretly investigated everyone using Dan Shi and found nothing unusual.

So, only one possibility remains...

The other party may possess some kind of incredible ability to detect or predict.

In such a magical place as the world of supernatural beings, it's not surprising that all sorts of strange and unusual abilities appear.

In a flash, Cui Ming made up his mind without hesitation.

"Keep your balance!"

After reminding all Tang Sect disciples through a spiritual connection.

The next moment, the two hastily assembled pile drivers emitted a dull hum!

Located at the top of the machine, the hammer, powered by a miniature energy core, was suddenly pulled up to its limit by the robotic arm and crashed down with overwhelming force!

Boom! ! !

A deep, bell-like bang suddenly exploded!

It was as if the entire ground trembled violently!

Centered on the point where the hammer struck, a visible wave of earth violently spread outwards in a ring!

The energy waves generated by the energy core not only stirred up a cloud of dust but also penetrated deep into the earth, violently scattering the gentle and balanced energy of the earth's veins.

This is not targeted at any particular individual, but rather an indiscriminate and violent shock to the earth's veins across the entire region!

If I had to describe it, it would be...

Nidoran unleashed his ultimate earthquake attack!

The effect is outstanding!

The enemy pangolin is already as fragile as a candle in the wind...

"Uh!"

"cough!"

The underground area was also quite lively at this time.

The Earth Wanderer's Earth Escape Technique is exquisite because it can merge with the earth's veins, using the earth's power to conceal its whereabouts and travel freely.

But precisely because it is so closely connected to the earth's veins, when the earth's veins are subjected to such violent impacts and disturbances...

They were like fish in water encountering a monstrous wave!

In an instant, he was violently shaken out of that state of fusion with the earth's veins!

Around the group, especially under the carriages carrying the key items, five sections of ground suddenly bulged and exploded!

Five figures, covered in mud and looking somewhat disheveled, were forced to reveal themselves.

Their faces were pale, blood trickled from the corners of their mouths, and their eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

Chapter 69 The Mysterious Employer

The wandering immortals clearly had no idea that they would be roaming the world of supernatural beings for so long.

The Tang Clan has come up with such a ruthless and unreasonable way to break their famous Earth Escape Technique.

"Let's do it."

Cui Ming's voice rang out again, calm and without a trace of emotion.

The Tang Clan disciples, who had been waiting in ambush, acted instantly.

The two closest disciples flicked their wrists, and countless hidden threads intertwined in the air, weaving a large net that hurtled towards the two Earthly Immortals who had just regained their footing.
