Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

Chapter 535: Chapter 127: I’m Very Interested in Ning Zhuo

Lord Long coughed and stood up, cupping his hands towards the Old Monster in Stone: “This battle was almost lost, and I am grateful to be saved by Stone friend.”

Such a gesture was extremely rare.

Usually, Lord Long was arrogant and haughty.

Being a Nascent Soul Level Great Cultivator and very senior in age was one thing. More importantly, he was a temple priest of the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King, which made his backing incredibly strong, being second only to one person and above tens of thousands in Thousand Peak Forest.

Yet, this time, he was cupping his hands and express gratitude to the Old Monster in Stone.

Mo Yuan Cave Master, Chi Tengyi, Cang Vine King, and others looked at the Stone Ball, their faces filled with envy.

Everyone knew that after returning to Thousand Peak Forest, the Old Monster in Stone would be handsomely rewarded by the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King!

The next moment, the hoarse voice of the “Old Monster in Stone” rang out: “Little Long, remember that I am your life-saving benefactor. As the Main General, if you had died, even if we completely eliminated two or three armies, it would still be a crushing defeat!”

“I am the key figure who saved the day and turned defeat into victory in this battle.”

“What kind of reward will the Dragon King give to such a meritorious servant like me?”

The expressions of everyone present changed abruptly.

They did not expect the Old Monster in Stone to speak so bluntly, with an unkind tone, displaying an attitude full of arrogance due to his meritorious deeds.

This was not a wise move.

Indeed, you did save Lord Long, but you shouldn’t behave like this.

After all, Lord Long is not just a Nascent Soul Cultivator, he is also a temple priest of the Dragon King. Being rude to him is like being rude to a Divinity Transformation Level existence!

Lord Long’s eye twitched, and he let his hands down, his face showing a faint smile as he spoke at a leisurely pace, “Well said, well said.”

“Stone friend, rest assured. Although I cannot decide the reward, I believe the Dragon King will not treat you unfairly.”

The “Old Monster in Stone” grunted arrogantly, “That’s good.”

While they were talking, more Cultivators arrived to join them covertly.

It was Di Lu and Gu Ya.

The two of them had been entangled with the Barbarian Demon Camp and were in an advantageous position, so their withdrawal went smoothly.

Di Lu’s face was expressionless: “It’s a pity that Xu Dali was already at the end of his tether. Given another 30 minutes, we could have surely captured him!”

Gu Ya, however, kept silent.

Compared to his eagerness before the battle, he now seemed depressed and upset.

As a Beast Tamer, Gu Ya took great care of his wolf pack. His pack had suffered heavy losses in the battle, which pained his heart; he also realized one thing clearly—

When it comes to group combat, a military force composed of Cultivators was indeed the strongest!

To counter an army with a group of Demon Beasts, the size must be at least ten times that of the opponent.

As the people were exchanging details, Chen Lingfeng, Wu Hen, and others arrived there too.

Their expressions were hurried, and their appearance disheveled.

“We underestimated the Three Generals Camp. Although Liu Guan Zhang are Loose Cultivators, none of them is ordinary.”

“What about Ma Feitui?”

“He’s been captured alive by the Three Generals.”

“What?!”

Everyone was astonished for a moment.

Ma Feitui was a Demon Cultivator, originally a Heavenly Steed with Nascent Soul Cultivation Level. Even if not victorious, he should have been able to withdraw.

Unexpectedly, he was defeated and captured alive!

Their faces looked grim.

The combat power of each Nascent Soul was incredibly precious; losing Ma Feitui was a substantial loss for Thousand Peak Forest!

A poisonous snake burrowed out from the ground and spit out a Jade Slip.

It was a letter from Tu Ming.

Lord Long read it with his Divine Sense: “Tu Ming is severely injured and has led the Hundred Poison Tribe to withdraw first. We need not wait for them any longer.”

In this way, from the side of Thousand Peak Forest, one Nascent Soul was heavily wounded, and another was lost, and the achievements were that the Barbarian Demon Camp and White Jade Camp were almost completely annihilated.

Red Flower Camp suffered heavy losses, Three Generals Camp lost a number of members, and the Golden Halberd Army and Fire Cloud Camp were unscathed.
