Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

Just as Yongen was preparing to rest, someone came in panic from the cave to report.

It is said that a Gu master came to the cave and that they were attacked by the Japanese.

The group was caught in a fierce battle, and only the leader told her to go to Di Youxian for help first.

These words made Yong En stop in his tracks.

Gu Master?

Yongen turned around and exchanged a glance with Wang Qingshi.

Is that really such a coincidence?

A strange smile appeared on Wang Qingshi's face.

"Let's go! Let's go and greet him together. How can we neglect this Gu Master who has come from afar?"

The group rushed over and saw a little girl pacing anxiously back and forth.

His face was full of panic and fear.

Just as she was about to ask the wandering immortal in front of her another question, a figure suddenly appeared behind her.

A snow-white longsword was placed directly against her neck.

"do not move!"

Wang Qingshi rose slowly from beside the young Gu Master.

"Don't move! This guy is ruthless. If you cooperate with us, I guarantee you'll be fine."

After Wang Qingshi finished speaking, a wisp of earth vein energy wrapped around the Gu Master's limbs, firmly controlling her.

Chapter 108 Unexpected Changes

Under the combined pressure of Wang Qingshi's imposing aura and the cold longsword in Yong En's hand.

The young Miao Gu master was deathly pale, her body trembling slightly, tears welling up in her eyes, and she was about to cry.

But remembering her companions' earnest advice, she suppressed her immense fear and, with a sob in her voice, recounted what had happened.

According to her description, just last night, Wei Shufen's five-person support team was not far from the Earth Vein Village.

But it was getting late, and given that she had been traveling for the past few days, Wei Shufen decided to rest for the night in a relatively secluded woodland before entering the Earth Vein Village the next day.

So everyone tidied up again and prepared to sit around the campfire to rest and chat when a strange thing happened!

One of the Gu Masters in the group, named Amu, suddenly twisted his abdomen.

Immediately afterwards, a man covered in blood and missing an arm actually crawled out of his body!

This horrifying scene stunned everyone, leaving them speechless.

But after that man crawled out of Amu's body, his eyes instantly turned terrifying and fierce.

He suddenly drew a long sword from somewhere and attacked his unsuspecting companion with lightning speed!

With a flash of light, the two Gu Masters closest to the blade died instantly; one was beheaded, and the other had a huge wound cut from his shoulder to his chest.

Only then did Captain Wei Shufen snap out of her shock, let out a roar, and instantly activated the Heavenly Dragon Gu that she had recently inherited!

A giant centipede flew out from Wei Shufen's arm, carrying a terrifying aura that forced Amu and the one-armed man back.

Taking advantage of this brief respite, Wei Shufen decisively ordered the youngest and most agile girl to rush to the Earth Vein Village for help at all costs and as quickly as possible...

Wang Qingshi and Yong En listened to the little girl's story with blank expressions.

Wang Qingshi frowned, his mind racing as he considered the credibility of these words.

What the little girl said did barely match what Cui Mingxin described.

But... isn't all of this too much of a coincidence?

Yon-eun, on the other hand, remained completely indifferent.

In her simple logic, the information provided by the little girl in front of her only moved her from the category of "can be killed" to the category of "cannot be killed for the time being," but that was all.

Yongen carefully examined the little girl for a moment, then said nothing more.

Wang Qingshi was still thinking, while the Gu Master girl saw that the two of them were silent.

Especially when she saw Yong-en's cold gaze, her mental defenses finally crumbled.

She burst into tears, crying and pleading.

"Please! Please go and save Sister Wei Shufen! It will be too late if we wait any longer! Please!"

A heart-wrenching cry echoed through the cave, and the little girl immediately knelt on the ground.

Looking at the little girl crying her eyes out, Wang Qingshi's eyes flickered with complex emotions before he finally sighed.

Regardless of whether it was a trap or not, the possibility of Wei Shufen's team being attacked was extremely high, and the Miao team was still there to support his Earth Vein Village, so they couldn't just stand by and watch him die.

He gave instructions in a deep voice to his trusted confidants.

"Take her away and keep a close watch on her. No one is allowed to approach her without my order."

Then, Wang Qingshi looked at Yong En and asked for her opinion.

There's no other way; with limited strength, we still have to rely on this girl to fight fiercely.

Furthermore, what Cui Mingxin wrote was mainly about searching and holding out, but now the situation has changed.

Yongen met Wang Qingshi's gaze and nodded slightly without hesitation.

For her, finding out where Chubei was and eliminating him was the highest priority.

Now that we have a lead, it's just a matter of taking a trip.

Moreover, according to the little girl's description, the attack and the enemy's characteristics did indeed match the situation last night very closely.

Seeing that Yong'en agreed, Wang Qingshi did not delay any longer.

After getting the girl's general location from where the Gu Master team was attacked, they finally found out.

Wang Qingshi and Yong'en set off together, speeding towards that direction.

To increase speed and facilitate exploration, Wang Qingshi used the Earth Traveling Immortal technique, merging into the earth and rapidly traversing underground.

Yone, on the other hand, moved with incredible speed on the ground like a ghost in the forest. The two of them, one above and one below, supported each other and quickly made their way to their destination.

Following the direction the little girl pointed out, the two quickly found the clearing in the woods.

Even before they got close, a strong smell of blood could be smelled.

The scene was a mess, with embers of the campfire still burning and two corpses lying nearby.

It was the two Gu Masters who were ambushed and killed. Their deaths matched the little girl's description: one was decapitated, and the other's upper body was almost split open diagonally. The scene was horrific.

The surrounding trees were broken, the ground was cratered, and there were obvious signs of a fierce fight.

The two carefully examined the scene. Apart from the two dead Gu Masters, they found no trace of Wei Shufen or anyone else, nor the body of the one-armed Zhongbingwei or the traitor Amu.

The signs of a fight stretched deeper into the woods.

Wang Qingshi and Yong En exchanged a glance and continued to follow the trail.

The more they tracked them down, the stronger the uneasy feeling became in their hearts.

First of all, the location of the attack was not far from the entrance to the cave in the ley line village.

Secondly, according to the little girl's description, the only enemies were Chubei and the traitorous Amu, while Wei Shufen had already activated the Heavenly Dragon Gu to fight back.

Although I haven't seen the Heavenly Dragon Gu in battle, it's known as a sacred object of Miao territory. Even if it's no match for the enemy, it shouldn't be difficult for it to make a commotion. The vigilance in the direction of the Earth Vein Village couldn't possibly be completely unaware of it.

However, aside from the initial brutality of the ambush, the subsequent fighting, while showing clear signs of commotion, gave the impression of being... deliberately orchestrated...

Most importantly, what about Chubei?

He was severely injured and had his arm severed by Yon-eun. Even with backup, it would have been impossible for him to erase all traces in such a short time and disappear so completely with the prisoners.

As doubts arose, the two quickened their pace and quietly raised their vigilance to the highest level.

Suddenly, Yongen stopped abruptly, his cold gaze fixed on a bush to his side.

Wang Qingshi immediately emerged from the ground beside her and looked in the direction she was looking.

Behind the bushes, a petite female corpse lay in a pool of blood.

The corpse had nothing above its neck; its head was missing. But judging from its clothing and build, it was exactly the same as the Gu Master girl who had just sent a message for help in the Earth Vein Village!

A chill instantly crept up Wang Qingshi's spine!

We've fallen for their trap!

The little girl crying and begging for help in the Earth Vein Village just now was a fake!

The goal was to lure the two of them, especially the powerful Yone, out of Leyline Village!

"go back!"

Wang Qingshi let out a low shout, his face extremely ugly.

However, just as the two turned around, preparing to return to the Earth Vein Village at full speed, a sinister voice rang out from behind a large tree not far away.

"Heh... Only now do you realize it? Too bad, it's too late."

As soon as the words were spoken, a figure whose hands and feet were tightly bound by vines and whose mouth was gagged was roughly pushed out from behind the tree.

Her clothes were torn, her body was covered in wounds, and her eyes were filled with grief and anxiety. It was none other than the missing Wei Shufen!

Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly emerged from behind Wei Shufen.

His face was pale, and his left sleeve was empty; it was Chubei who had escaped using his strength!

His only remaining right hand gripped a short knife, its sharp blade pressed tightly against Wei Shufen's throat, his face bearing a sinister grin of triumph and an undisguised weakness.

"Don't move! You two, either of you dare to make a move..."

Chungbei's voice was hoarse and filled with madness, his gaze fixed on Yongen and Wang Qingshi.

"I will kill her immediately! Then, the uncontrolled Heavenly Dragon Gu inside her will explode, and then... the entire Earth Vein Village will be buried with us!"

Yone's twin swords were already drawn, and her chilling killing intent was almost tangible, but she was hesitant to act and made no move.

Wang Qingshi's face was ashen, and the earthy yellow energy around him began to slowly circulate. His sharp eyes scanned his surroundings, searching for any possible opportunity.
