Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

Previously, outside the mountain in the battlefield, this divine seal was useless. Now, within Mist Hidden Mountain, the Black Wind Tiger Demon, leveraging its bloodline, partially activated the divine seal’s power, completely gaining the upper hand.

“I’m defeated!” Meng Zizhong realized the situation was irretrievable and had to drag his war hammer as he fled towards the outside of the mountain.

The Black Wind Tiger Demon relentlessly pursued him and landed a heavy blow on Meng Zizhong.

Meng Zizhong fell to the ground but did not panic. Now at a sufficient distance, he decisively ignited an Escape Void Talisman, teleporting swiftly outside the mountain.

The Black Wind Tiger Demon dared not chase outside the mountain.

The divine seal was ineffective outside.

Just as it turned to vent its frustrations on the Human Cultivators trapped inside the mountain, Zhu Xuanji descended from the sky.

This Divine Hunter of Southern Bean Country pressed a finger down, directly smashing the head of the Black Wind Tiger Demon.

The Black Wind Tiger Demon struggled fiercely, but with the divine seal ineffective and being extremely weak, it couldn’t resist Zhu Xuanji’s immense force.

Pfft.

The head of the Black Wind Tiger Demon was crushed.

Its headless body wobbled for a moment before it fell to the ground, motionless.

Dead.

Meng Zizhong, who was about to flee, seeing this scene, showed a look of surprise.

He recognized Zhu Xuanji and called out loud, “Divine Hunter Zhu!”

Zhu Xuanji, however, did not show him any favor, his eyes examining him critically, “Meng Zizhong, you led the army without authorization, demonstrated incompetence in battle, causing heavy casualties to the Yugang Mountain troops, and even fled in defeat, completely lacking the dignity of a Southern Bean Country’s Military General!”

“Do you recognize your crime?”

Meng Zizhong’s face turned extremely unsightly. His mouth opened wide, his Adam’s apple moving as he tried to say something, but ultimately he simply lowered his head and responded in a muffled voice, “This general recognizes his crime.”

Ning Zhuo looked at the Fox God, “Aren’t you going yet?”

The Fox God transformed into mountain mist, disappearing on the spot. In the next breath, he appeared in front of Zhu Xuanji.

He bowed deeply, volunteering his guilt.

Zhu Xuanji’s expression was severe as he reproached the Fox God, harshly scolding him before finally letting him go.

Next, the Fox God himself helped round up the remaining Human Cultivators in the mountain.

Zhu Xuanji, escorting Meng Zizhong and leading the remnant troops, returned to Yugang Mountain to take control of the situation.

Meng Zizhong’s error in judgment was too great, likely causing full-scale confrontation between the Zhu and Meng families. But Meng Zizhong’s defeat and escape this time were sufficient grounds for his inability to continue the role of guardian of Yugang Mountain.

Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong met privately, following their agreement to join in the final division.

As he had been responsible for negotiating with the Fox God and gained some profits, his share of the spoils was smaller.

Ultimately, Ning Zhuo acquired many parts of Demon Cultivators, including a complete set of tiger bones from the Black Wind Tiger Demon, ranked at Golden Core Level.

Besides this, there was the distribution of profits from Yugang Mountain.

He sent a letter, using the Royal Family’s channels, to Ning Jiufan at the Ning Family, explaining the situation and temporarily arranging Ning Youfu to represent him and station at Yugang Mountain.

This former Family Elder, although quite aged, was experienced and tempered, making him a suitable candidate for external assignment.

Thus, the conflict surrounding Mist Hidden Mountain came to a resolution.

Sun Ning and the other continued their journey on the Ten-Thousand-Li Travelling Dragon.

Inside the Dragon Head Cabin, as Sun Lingtong pondered, he felt increasingly delighted, looking at Ning Zhuo with shining eyes, “The Righteous Path is actually quite fun.”

“We gain the most while exerting the least effort. More such good deals wouldn’t be too many!”
