Everyone looked towards the source of the sound.

Who could it be?

Had Ji Qiubai's behind-the-scenes manipulator arrived?

Who else could there be?

From the direction of the main gate, another three people appeared.

One of them, wearing wooden clogs, walked lightly and slowly approached.

Another, walking alongside that person, chatted and laughed with him.

There was also a woman, following behind them with utmost respect, dressed in a kimono, she appeared elegant and tall, presumably a charming and attractive lady.

When they reached where Ji Qiubai was.

Ji Qiubai was also stunned for a moment, then immediately suppressed the anger in his heart and bowed, saying: "Lord Wutian."

Then he turned to the young man beside him and bowed his hands: "Young Master Gongsun."

The man called Lord Wutian from Japan, his face slightly angry, glanced over the dismembered bodies on the ground, stepped forward and slapped Ji Qiubai, shouting: "Ji Qiubai, how many times have I said! Before doing anything, you must consult with me, how dare you be so bold!"

Upon hearing this.

Ji Qiubai's face darkened and he knelt on one knee, saying:

"Lord Wutian! My actions have all been carefully considered. It's just... there was a small mishap today, just give me a little more time, and I will surely annihilate the Dark Web, kill the Iron Fist King, and avenge Lord Ze Tian!"

Lord Ze Tian?

Fang Yu thought about it.

That's the Japanese man who was planning to take the energy from Bai Ruoling.

But...

He didn't expect the Wutian family and the Ze Tian family to be so close!

"Rubbish! Ji Qiubai... what do you consider yourself? I kept your consciousness intact because I valued your wit, but it turns out you're so foolish... Had I known this, I would've made you into a puppet without consciousness!"

A puppet?!

Was it really a puppet?

Ji Qiubai shuddered all over!

"Impossible! I'm not a puppet, I'm not a puppet... Lord Wutian, you must be joking... you said, as long as I handle things properly, you would even betroth Miss Wutian to me in the future, don't you remember?"

Whoosh!

Bang!

Ji Qiubai was kicked and sent flying.

"What do you take yourself for? You are just a puppet I created, how dare you negotiate with me? Insolent!"

Upon hearing this.

Ji Qiubai's face turned ashen.

This...

How could it be possible?

He had always believed he had been revived.

He never believed in any puppet nonsense!

Ji Qiubai hastily got up and came to the woman's side, saying: "Eda, you said you liked me, have you forgotten?"

The woman, expressionless, glanced at him and said:

"How could I have feelings for a puppet?"

Buzz.

Ji Qiubai was struck as if by lightning, retreating continuously.

His legs gave out, and he slumped to the ground.

The young man standing by laughed and said: "Mr. Wutian, the puppet you've created is quite interesting, it actually has its own ideas... It's just too stupid, a puppet remains a puppet, yet it dreams of negotiating terms with its master."

Upon hearing this.

Mr. Wutian replied with a smile:

"Young Master Gongsun is making fun of me. Actually, it's all strategy, when I was creating this puppet, it indeed took a great deal of effort. This man's intelligence was quite extraordinary, so I tried to preserve his consciousness. I had people talk to him every day, and even my daughter put a lot of effort into the puppet-making process. After a period of trials, this puppet has been completely successful, its grade is roughly at the Heaven Rank, around the lower Heavenly Position level!"

Ji Qiubai was stunned once more, his eyes filled with resentment.

"You, you... you..."

Wutian gave him a harsh glare, shouting: "How dare you! You're already my puppet and still dare to resist? With just a flick of my finger, I could kill you! Moreover, a puppet cannot kill its Puppet Master!"

Ji Qiubai's face was as pale as death.

Just as he tried to stand up.

Wutian raised his hand and gestured.

Ji Qiubai felt a heart-wrenching pain and started rolling on the ground in agony.

Puppets are but puppets, destined to be manipulated for a lifetime.

At this moment—

Their gaze settled on Fang Yu.

Inspecting him for a brief moment.

One of the Wutians then asked:

"Is that the Iron Fist King, Fang Yu?"

"It is I."

"Did you kill my puppet?"

"I did."

"You hold a grudge against Ji Qiubai."

"I do."

The crowd was slightly taken aback.

They hadn't expected Fang Yu to answer each question so candidly.

"Good. Just now, outside the gate, I heard someone shouting the name of Wutian Shinjin. Was that you?"

"It was me who shouted," Fang Yu nodded.

"How audacious!"

The Wutian authority spoke sternly, "Do you know that Wutian Shinjin is an ancestor of mine, Wutian Cilang!?"

Ancestor?

Fang Yu almost forgot.

Wutian Shinjin was from the Dragon Emperor Era.

When it came to Puppet Masters of that time, only Wutian Shinjin could craft Heavenly Position Puppets.

Fang Yu nodded and revealed a smile—

"Just now, you asked me several questions. To be fair, I will ask you a few questions… I hope you'll answer truthfully!"

Both sneered.

Fang Yu then asked: "Are you a descendant of Wutian Shinjin?"

"Bah! You've directly addressed my Wutian ancestor by name for the second time… I will make you pay a hefty price!"

Fang Yu questioned:

"Did you resurrect Ji Qiubai?"

"What if I did?"

"One last question, the person standing beside you… Is he the Young Master of the Black Mountain Sect?"

This time, before Wutian Cilang could answer.

The young man arrogantly said:

"Indeed, I am Gongsun Chu, the Young Master of the Black Mountain Sect… It's true that fame doesn't match seeing in person. I didn't expect that the great Iron Fist King is not much older than me."

"The Black Mountain Sect belongs to the Bai Ze lineage. The Seventy-two Sects once established the rule not to fraternize with barbarians… As the Young Master of the Black Mountain Sect, have you forgotten these rules?"

Upon hearing this.

Gongsun Chu laughed and said:

"Iron Fist King, you must be unaware of whom you're confronting? Let alone you, even a hundred Luli Sects wouldn't be given a second thought by me and the Wutian lineage."

"And then?"

"You dare talk to me about rules? Then let me tell you... The rules you mentioned have long been abolished by Emperor Ziwei! You killed Xi Zhongwen of my Black Mountain Sect... and destroyed Hongmen, our affiliated sect. How do you plan to settle this debt?" Gongsun Chu sneered.

Wutian Cilang said:

"I didn't expect you to even dare offend the Young Master of the Black Mountain Sect! You're truly audacious! My Wutian lineage has already reached an agreement with the Gongsun Family… I will personally restore order to Yanjing, eliminate the Dark Web, the Xu Family from the Northern Desert, the Luli Sect, and kill the Iron Fist King…"

Fang Yu shook his head slightly and said:

"I never expected that this barbaric island country of Japan has never given up its ambitions in my Huaxia!"

Wutian Cilang was taken aback but quickly regained his composure.

"Young man, with a Heavenly Puppet Master here... not just you alone, even a thousand troops would not instill fear in me!"

Buzz.

Buzzing.

Wutian Cilang was momentarily stunned.

He couldn't help but look up.

There, he saw the Dragon Roar Sword in Fang Yu's hand, beginning to quiver—

"Who is truly audacious? Even if Wutian Shinjin himself stood before me, he would have to kneel and pay respects… Gongsun Yu, the Demon Lord of the Black Mountain Sect, isn't even worthy of carrying my shoes!"

"I had wondered who had given Ji Qiubai such confidence! Turns out it was a sordid alliance between you two major forces! Since you've come… none of you will leave!"
