Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

She took a deep breath, suppressing the surging blood and qi within her body, and was just about to signal her clansmen to stop activating the Gu worms...

"Screw you, get out of here! If you're so capable, try controlling me too!"

The scarred man, who had previously been dissatisfied with Wei Shufen, roared and charged directly at Cui Ming.

He didn't care whether Wei Shufen would stop or not, or rather, he simply didn't care.

He only wanted to use this opportunity to prove that Wei Shufen's weakness was a mistake.

At the same time, the sinister-looking man sneered, his figure flickered, and he quickly circled around to the flanks of Cui Ming and the others like a ghost, clearly intending to launch a pincer attack.

The two of them were not very respectful of Wei Shufen in their clan, and now they were even less willing to listen to the so-called negotiation from an outsider.

The moment the two moved, their aura instantly became sinister.

The scarred man suddenly ripped open the sleeve of his right arm, revealing bulging muscles on his arm, but the skin had a strange dark red color.

He muttered incantations, and a giant, crimson centipede, as thick as a baby's arm, crawled out of his collar and quickly clung to the scarred man's exposed right arm.

The giant centipede opened and closed its ferocious mouthparts, then suddenly thrust dozens of sharp legs from its body into the scarred man's arm muscles!

"Ugh—!"

The scarred man let out a low growl mixed with pain and excitement, and his right arm instantly swelled up, with the giant centipede directly adhering to and merging into his right arm.

His skin was covered with a layer of armor, and his five fingers became sharp, as if they had transformed into the venomous jaws of a centipede.

This is his natal Gu worm, "Armored Red Dragon." Through this almost self-destructive secret technique, he can temporarily gain power and protection far exceeding that of ordinary people.

Meanwhile, the sinister man who had arrived at the flank formed a hand seal, and a group of strange Gu worms that resembled flying mosquitoes but were several times larger than ordinary mosquitoes floated in front of him.

This is his natal Gu, "Flying Arrow Mosquito," which can spray corrosive venomous arrows and even launch suicidal impact explosions.

"Go!" ×2

The two shouted in unison, launching their own attack and urging the surrounding poisonous insects, which were not yet completely out of control, to attack Cui Ming together.

However, because these two people were usually isolated and rarely paid attention to news from the outside world.

I know very little about the storm Cui Ming has stirred up in the martial arts world recently, or his unpredictable methods, let alone the Tang Clan's Shadow Spider, a hidden mechanical creation.

Just as the two were about to attack Cui Ming, an unexpected change occurred!

Amidst the chaotic swarm of insects, the hidden Shadow Spiders transformed into streaks of dark light, shooting out at astonishing speed to capture the Scarface and the Grim Man!

Because he was positioned on the flank and a little further away, the sinister man sensed something was wrong the moment Wu Guang picked him up. He quickly retreated while simultaneously manipulating his flying antler mosquitoes to continuously spray venom at the shelter in an attempt to intercept them.

However, when the corrosive venom hit the shudder spider's exoskeleton, it only produced a wisp of smoke and failed to cause any effective damage.

The Shadow Spider continued its relentless pursuit, like a leech, leaving him in a sorry state and forcing him to dodge repeatedly using his agility.

The scarred man who charged head-on wasn't so lucky.

Relying on the formidable defense and strength enhanced by the armored red dragon, he neither dodged nor evaded, attempting to withstand the Shadow Spider's attacks in order to capture Cui Ming.

In the blink of an eye, several shadow spiders pounced on him, their sharp, knife-like limbs and claws tearing through the air as they viciously stabbed at his vital points!

Ding!Ding!Ding!

A series of metallic clanging sounds, like raindrops pattering on banana leaves, rang out!

However, the expected scene of carnage did not occur.

The scarred man's body was now covered with a layer of bio-armor formed by countless venomous insects!

Under the scarred man's control, these venomous insects were bound to his skin and clothing by his true qi, forming a highly resilient buffer layer.

The lurking spider's sharp claws struck the insects, shattering the surface venom and producing metallic clangs, but failing to penetrate the layers of strange, coordinated insect armor!

The scarred man was startled at first, but then, realizing that the Shadow Spider's attack had been blocked, he let out a triumphant laugh.

"Haha! Useless! Break it for me!"

The centipede-possessed right arm, carrying a foul stench, slammed down hard on the nearest shadow spider.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Cui Ming stood still, without even changing his posture, calmly watching the fierce attack and defense unfold before him.

His gaze swept over the scarred man's self-contained insect armor, then glanced at the sinister man being chased by the Shadow Spiders, a knowing look flashing in his eyes.

It seems that the opponent's natal Gu not only enhances itself, but also seems to have a stronger ability to control ordinary poisons.

However, that's all.

Just as the scarred man's fist was about to strike the Shadow Spider...

The shadow spider instantly disintegrated, its eight segments separating from the center.

"Varied..."

Just as the scarred man's punch hit empty air, the Shadow Spiders that had just split apart instantly reassembled.

It transformed into a lock ring with sharp teeth in the center, firmly locking the arm in place.

At the same time, the Shadow Spiders, who were originally besieging the scarred man, instantly changed their attack method.

While surrounding him, they continuously transformed into instruments of torture, gradually controlling him step by step.

The shadow spiders surrounding the scarred man kept changing their formation and quickly controlled his hands and feet. The parts that were in contact with the scarred man's skin even began to rotate, revealing their sharp teeth.

Soon, the insect armor on the scarred man's restrained hands and feet was completely destroyed with a "plop".

The transformed sharp teeth pierced into flesh and blood.

The scarred man let out a scream and was soon unable to resist.

Meanwhile, the Shadow Spider, imbued with Cui Ming's Dan Devouring Power, flowed into the scarred man's body through the wound, gradually sealing away the true Qi within him.

The sinister man, who had been fleeing in a sorry state, was also caught off guard by the Shadow Spider's sudden transformation and was wrapped up like an iron dumpling.

A blood-dripping guillotine was placed over his head, and after hearing the scarred man's screams, he was so frightened that he dared not move.

However, in the blink of an eye, Cui Ming easily subdued the two men.

"Senior Sister!"

The female Gu master, who had remained silent until now, looked at Wei Shufen with a face full of shock and fear.

Seeing that Cui Ming had easily subdued two skilled members of the clan with his strange and unpredictable mechanical puppet with just a few gestures, they were shocked.

After one person let out a scream, he was suspended in the air by a mechanical puppet, his fate unknown.

The other person, like a lamb to the slaughter, was imprisoned by layers of puppets and unable to move.

Wei Shufen no longer harbored any illusions or hesitation.

She quickly stepped forward, her originally cold face now showing urgency and pleading, and her voice softened.

"Master Cui! Please show mercy!"

"We acted hastily and impudently because the sacred artifact of our clan is of utmost importance, and we had no other choice! We beg you to show mercy and spare their lives!"

"Although these two are unruly and incorrigible, they are still members of our clan and will be dealt with according to clan rules. The most important thing right now is to retrieve the sacred artifact!"

She spoke very quickly, as if afraid that Cui Ming would kill her.

At the same time, in order to gain Cui Ming's trust, she disregarded the secrets of her clan and revealed everything about the sacred artifact 'Heavenly Dragon Gu'.

“Our clan’s sacred artifact is called ‘Heavenly Dragon Gu’. It has been cultivated by generations of Gu masters in Miao territory with painstaking effort, and it is extremely important.”

"Furthermore, this Gu must be nurtured in a special environment and using secret methods. If it is separated from the Gu for more than a month and does not receive proper feeding, it will die."

"And the poison that erupted upon its death was enough... enough to wreak havoc for hundreds of miles, causing immense suffering to the living!"

"We simply cannot afford to waste any more time, which is why we are in such a hurry. We hope that Hall Master Cui will understand!"

When Cui Ming saw that Wei Shufen had finally lowered her stance and was willing to communicate, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was not a bloodthirsty person, and it was not his intention to have a blood feud with the Miao Jiang Gu Master. There was no need for him to waste the limited resources of the Eastern Kingdom's supernatural world.

Moreover, the person in front of us is also one of the future Thirty-Six Thieves. We can't turn her into a half-human puppet, can we?

If things continue like this, Cui Ming might really drain most of Wu Gensheng's thirty-six thieves' coffers prematurely.

But as he thought of this, an idea involuntarily popped into Cui Ming's mind.

Which of these future Thirty-Six Thieves isn't a gifted and brilliant individual from their respective sects?

However, most of these people died tragically or met a miserable end because of the leak of the sworn brotherhood list, which was a great loss to the world of supernatural beings in the Eastern Kingdom.

If only...

If we could recruit them and gather them under our command, they could jointly face future national crises and contribute to the survival of the Eastern Kingdom...

Isn't this much better than letting them die at the hands of their respective sects?

Once the thought arose, it quickly took root in his mind.

This caused Cui Ming to unconsciously cast a scrutinizing and appraising gaze at Wei Shufen.

It was as if they were assessing a highly promising treasure, pondering how to add it to their collection.

Wei Shufen was anxiously awaiting Cui Ming's response when she suddenly met his strange gaze.

This sent a shiver down her spine, and a chill rose from the bottom of her heart, instantly spreading throughout her body.

It felt like being targeted by a ferocious beast in the darkness, as if you would be torn apart and devoured at any moment.

This made her subconsciously take a step back, and the true qi in her body instinctively began to circulate, almost preparing to flee this place!

Even the small green snake on her wrist and the centipede in her hair instantly tensed up and entered a wary, attack stance.

Cui Ming immediately realized his loss of composure and Wei Shufen's fear, and secretly cried out in alarm.

He quickly composed himself, and the power of his internal energy quietly circulated, rapidly switching back to his previous approachable and friendly mode.

“Miss Wei Shufen, there’s no need to panic.”

Cui Ming's face regained its warm smile, and his tone became gentle.

"I had no ill intentions. I was just thinking that someone had instigated a few wandering immortals to forcibly seize my Tang Clan's goods. This person has not yet been found, and I was a little distracted for a moment."

Cui Ming quickly steered the conversation back on track.
