Chapter 2322: Demon Puppet, Here Again

As long as we decisively take down Teng Yue, the main target, we don’t have to give a damn what tricks those Black Scale Demons have up their sleeves.

With Chai Jiu’s command... swoosh!

The Fifth Sect Master Chai Ren acted without hesitation, ruthlessly seizing Teng Yue and the person he was carrying, directly wrapping them up and dragging the two of them down from high in the sky.

This scene left the Yu Vein crowd utterly aghast—their Young Master was actually captured alive by the Cang Lineage just like that?

One after another, they looked to Sikong Jing in terror, but he only said calmly, "Don’t panic. The real show is about to start."

This time his voice wasn’t loud, so the people of the Cang Lineage didn’t hear it...

Opposite him, Chai Jiu had already fixed his cold gaze on Teng Yue and barked, "Teng Yue, what mission did the Black Scale Demons give you?"

Teng Yue, hearing this, wasn’t flustered in the slightest...

He pointed to the person he was carrying and answered seriously, "Just that I take a trip back to Divine Demon Island and bring this person out."

The man in Teng Yue’s hand heard this and of course started screaming madly, "Let me go, you all let me go!"

If Chai Gong were here, he would definitely recognize that this was the Blood Qi Middle-aged man Teng Yue had defeated before. However, Chai Gong wasn’t here, so Chai Jiu and the others naturally didn’t recognize the Blood Qi Middle-aged man.

Even if they did recognize him, the people of the Cang Lineage wouldn’t immediately figure out why Teng Yue would bring this man out of the prison.

Just what kind of mission was this supposed to be?

Everyone present, aside from Sikong Jing, was completely baffled...

And Teng Yue continued, "To be precise, I secretly returned to the prison under the instructions of the Black Scale Sikong Brothers, then captured this prisoner alive, and used the Space Holy Artifact Brother Sikong lent me to transmit him back here."

"In other words, I instantly brought a prisoner from the prison to this place."

Most of the people listening just blinked, still not understanding a thing. What the hell was this supposed to mean?

But Chai Jiu’s expression suddenly changed...

Before he could speak... boom!

A terrifying, sky-devouring aura suddenly swept over from the direction of Divine Demon Island—a power that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth.

In just a split second, an enormous figure appeared out of thin air.

It was none other than: the complete Demon Puppet.

Still giving no one time to react, the Demon Puppet locked its gaze onto the Blood Qi Middle-aged man in Teng Yue’s hand and spoke slowly, "Yu Vein’s inheritor, even you do not have the authority to remove any Human Clan member from the core of Divine Demon Island."

"Immediately throw away the prison inmate in your hand. I am going to annihilate him."

The Demon Puppet’s horrifying voice swept toward Teng Yue like a world-shattering storm, and of course also crashed viciously down on all the Cang Lineage experts encircling Teng Yue.

It pressed down on everyone so hard they couldn’t breathe, couldn’t even move.

But Teng Yue could move, because he was the inheritor of the Yu Vein.

Although he didn’t have the authority to take any prisoner out, he had already done so. The Demon Puppet wouldn’t lay a hand on him, so Teng Yue naturally nodded without any hesitation.

He directly shoved the Blood Qi Middle-aged man into Chai Ren’s arms beside him.

After settling that, Teng Yue looked back at the Demon Puppet and replied, "Give me a second, I’ll jump into the sea right away."

Since Teng Yue was not suppressed by the Demon Puppet’s terrifying aura, he simply went "plop" and jumped into the sea. The Cang Lineage crowd could only stare blankly as the Teng Yue they had clearly already captured slipped right out of their control again...

And Chai Ren, who had been forcibly saddled with the Blood Qi Middle-aged man, was directly dumbfounded.

He of course looked in utter panic at the Demon Puppet before him. Now he finally understood what Teng Yue’s mission was, and naturally also understood what scheme that Black-scaled Little Demon had devised.

It was to bring a prisoner out and lure the Demon Puppet into taking action against the Cang Lineage.

Yet just moments ago he’d stupidly captured both Teng Yue and the prison inmate. Now Teng Yue had even stuffed the prisoner into his own arms. Damn it, they were finished.

At this moment...

Chai Jiu finally broke through a bit of the Demon Puppet’s terrifying pressure and shouted frantically, "Quick, kill the prisoner in your hands, hurry!"

As long as they killed the prisoner first, the Demon Puppet would withdraw and wouldn’t make a move.

At this, Chai Ren of course tried to act at once and kill the man, but the Demon Puppet was right at arm’s length and the pressure was far too horrifying.

Chai Ren,堂堂 Fifth Sect Master, simply couldn’t move!

The next instant, the Demon Puppet spoke again, "Those who leave the prison—die!"

Rumble...

The Demon Puppet’s terrifying aura blasted out directly, like a pitch-black pillar of light exploding toward the Blood Qi Middle-aged man—and naturally it only blew him apart. That pitch-black beam did not kill any member of the Cang Lineage.

Not even Chai Ren was killed, but... splurt splurt splurt!

The Demon Puppet’s terrifying killing intent still followed that pitch-black beam, detonating in the hearts and Spiritual Platform Seas of Consciousness of the Cang Lineage powerhouses, making them vomit blood on the spot. They were too close to the Blood Qi Middle-aged man, and Chai Ren’s entire body even burst open with streams of blood.

That still wasn’t the Demon Puppet’s direct attack, but the result of Chai Ren being dragged along by the Demon Puppet’s aura, his own True Qi scattering chaotically and exploding.

In an instant, all the Cang Lineage high-level members were injured together...

After finishing everything, the Demon Puppet had already vanished, returning to Divine Demon Island.

But it left behind a single sentence: "Yu Vein inheritor, this time only. If you repeat this mistake, your Demon authority will be revoked."

Even if there was a next time, there was still no intention to kill Teng Yue—only to strip him of his Demon authority.

These were, of course, rules established by the Black Demon before his death. Once outside the prison, the Demon Puppet no longer obeyed Sikong Jing, so this wasn’t Sikong Jing’s order—but it was a setup entirely arranged by him.

He had Teng Yue secretly bring out a prisoner, then use the Space Holy Key to instantly transmit him here.

Then bring the man into the Cang Lineage crowd; afterward, the Demon Puppet would kill the prisoner who had been brought out. When it struck, the Demon Puppet’s terrifying aura would brutally shake and injure the hearts and minds of the Cang Lineage experts...

With this single stratagem, the deadlock was completely overturned.

Looking at the Cang Lineage experts before him, all "splurt splurt" vomiting blood, Sikong Jing did not immediately launch a counterattack.

Sikong Jing knew very well that even if Chai Jiu and the others were shaken and injured, it was only temporary. Once they recovered, with the current strength of the Mo and Yu factions, they still weren’t enough to defeat the enemy...

Even if they could win, it would be a pyrrhic victory, with many casualties—utterly unnecessary.

So Sikong Jing made a snap decision and used this window of time to thunder out an order: "Everyone, follow me—abandon ship and into the sea!"

As his words fell, Sikong Jing linked up all the Demons with the Soldier Killing Array and went "plop plop" into the sea. The Yu Vein folk naturally rushed to follow; not to mention anything else, their Young Master had just jumped into the sea as well.

So the Yu Vein crowd’s movements weren’t slow in the slightest.

In the blink of an eye, the beleaguered Mo and Yu factions all plunged into the sea and vanished from the sight of the Cang Lineage crowd... The ordinary Cang Lineage soldiers hadn’t been harmed by the Demon Puppet, but without orders from Chai Jiu and the others, they could only stand there and watch.

Regardless of the Cang Lineage’s situation, as soon as Sikong Jing entered the sea he parted the seawater and called out, "Brother Teng, are you here?"

"I’m here..."

Teng Yue, who had entered the sea ahead of time, appeared at Sikong Jing’s side in an instant...

Seeing him, Sikong Jing immediately said, "Brother Teng, the Demon Puppet has already broken the Cang Lineage’s space lockdown around us. I must use space transmission to head to the Absolute Formation Gate; I’ll leave things here to you."

The Demon Puppet’s appearance had, of course, blasted apart the Cang Lineage’s space-lockdown formation, so Sikong Jing could now transmit away.

Teng Yue, hearing this, handed the Space Holy Key in his hand back to Sikong Jing.
