Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

Lu Hongtu was pleased to see this development.

In this battle, he gained many accomplishments, widely spreading his reputation, and forged good relations with various cultivators and forces.

It can be said that, in terms of diplomacy, he and the Six Cave Sect made enormous strides forward in the Thousand Peak Forest.

Regarding the spoils of war, Lu Hongtu also acquired a lot.

Overall, the gains outweighed the losses.

The most significant loss for the Six Cave Sect was in the faction of the Demon Heart Cave Master. The Demon Heart Cave Master’s beloved son, Lin You, perished, and the cave master himself only managed to escape with his Nascent Soul.

However, Blood Shadow Cave Master and Poison Scorpion Cave Master, whom Lu Hongtu had carefully selected, both fought fiercely on the front line and survived.

“Liangzhu Country dispatched two Transforming Spirit Level forces this time, with one killed and another wounded, they won’t raise troops again for a short time.”

“Ginseng Whisker Dragon King chose to strike at Old Monster in Stone, showing clear hostility. Although it’s not the real Old Monster in Stone, essentially, the Thousand Peak Forest has already fallen into internal strife.”

“With the upper forces suffering significant losses and causing confrontations, preoccupied with their own affairs, isn’t this the perfect opportunity for my Six Cave Sect to expand massively and continue to rise?”

Lu Hongtu assessed the major powers in the Thousand Peak Forest.

The largest Dragon King Temple faction suffered the most severe losses. Lord Long, as the figurehead of the Dragon King Temple, his death was a great loss for the temple.

Among Lord Long’s former key subordinates, Wu Hen was captured alive, while Chen Lingfeng survived but, due to his personal chaos, caused a lot of trouble and losses for his own army, lost trust, made many enemies, and his reputation plummeted.

In this scenario, Lord Long’s political legacy in his faction had no inheritor and strangely transferred to an outsider—Xiang Yue!

So, Lu Hongtu estimated: “Xiang Yue gained Lord Long’s legacy, greatly increasing his personal strength. And his performance in the second great battle earned him much respect and recognition; he will be the representative among the Demon Cultivators.”
