Planting a Puppet Seed in the Azure Wolf King!

"Master, after Senior Sister Zi Yan and I arrived in the Central Plains, Senior Sister Zi Yan stayed with my Han Family for a few days before leaving to train on her own. Not long after, I also left Tianbei City and came to this mountain range to train... Then, the Azure Wolf King led a group of magical beasts to surround us, intending to deal with A Zi and me!" Han Yue swiftly told Gu He everything that had happened during this time.

As Gu He listened to Han Yue's account, his expression grew increasingly cold. An invisible yet overwhelming aura spread through the area, making it difficult for the magical beasts to breathe.

From Han Yue's words, Gu He had already learned that the Earth Demon Bear which had attacked Han Yue earlier had been killed by him, while all the magical beasts surrounding this place had been brought by the Azure Wolf King.

The next moment, Gu He turned around and fixed his gaze on the bare-chested man kneeling on the ground. A wisp of soul force silently emerged and instantly entered the Azure Wolf King's mind.

After that wisp of Gu He's soul force entered the Azure Wolf King's mind, the terror in the Azure Wolf King's eyes suddenly turned vacant.

Within his mind, under the strange technique of Gu He's wisp of soul force, a transparent crystal gradually appeared in his soul. Outside the crystal were transparent thread-like strands connected to every part of his soul.

The Azure Wolf King was merely a two- or three-star Dou Zong. Gu He did not need any additional means to use the Ancient Puppet Seed Art on him; he could simply force it upon him. A moment later, Gu He had planted a Puppet Seed in the Azure Wolf King's soul, making him completely loyal to Gu He.

The Azure Wolf King had led so many magical beasts to besiege Han Yue, and the reason Gu He had not killed him outright was naturally because he still had some use for him.

Han Yue still needed to train in this mountain range. As the ruler of this mountain range, the Azure Wolf King could play an important role at critical moments after being planted with a Puppet Seed.

As for the other magical beasts following the Azure Wolf King, Gu He could not be bothered to act against them. With Han Yue and the Purple Demon Vulture's strength, aside from the Azure Wolf King, even if two or three other Sixth-tier magical beasts came, the Purple Demon Vulture could easily carry Han Yue away.

Light bloomed once more in the Azure Wolf King's vacant eyes. When he looked at Gu He, there was only respect in his gaze.

"Get lost, all of you!"

Gu He withdrew his gaze from the Azure Wolf King and spoke indifferently.

Upon hearing Gu He's words, the beasts finally relaxed. As though granted a pardon, they glanced at Gu He before looking toward the Azure Wolf King.

Seeing this, the Azure Wolf King slowly rose to his feet and waved at the magical beasts. "Didn't you hear what Senior said? Get lost already!"

After saying this, the Azure Wolf King took the lead in flying into the sky and headed toward his own territory. Seeing this, the other magical beasts quickly followed him away.

"Master, that Azure Wolf King..."

After the beasts left, Han Yue kept feeling that the Azure Wolf King had undergone some strange change, but she could not put it into words.

"Han Yue, I have already punished the Azure Wolf King." Gu He did not explain the matter of the Ancient Puppet Seed Art.

"Han Yue, I came through the Void Jade Talisman, and I can only remain for half an hour... Before you began training, I promised you that over these two years, you would have three chances to call upon me to pass on my cultivation to you. If you wish for me to pass on my cultivation to you now, my true body can reach this place as soon as possible!" With time limited, Gu He briefly explained a few matters to Han Yue.

Hearing Gu He's words, Han Yue thought for a while. "Master... Over these past few months, my strength has not improved all that much. However, since coming to this mountain range, my strength has improved very noticeably. If I am to receive your cultivation, I would like to do so in two months."

"Two months?"

Hearing Han Yue's words, Gu He murmured to himself without saying anything more. His disciples had their own thoughts, and Gu He would not interfere too much. Besides, given her current state, the amount of cultivation energy she could accept was indeed not very great.

Having obtained some of the Azure Wolf King's memories through the Ancient Puppet Seed Art, Gu He also knew Han Yue's current location. At his own traveling speed, two months would be about enough time for him to reach this mountain range.

"This little fellow hatched from that magical beast egg, right?"

After pondering for a moment, Gu He turned his gaze toward the Purple Demon Vulture several zhang away and slowly spoke.

"Yes, Master. I gave it a name, A Zi. I've really had A Zi's company to thank during this time. Otherwise, I would have been bored to death. Its strength has improved tremendously; it possessed peak fifth-tier strength the moment it was born..." Han Yue happily introduced the Purple Demon Vulture.

"A Zi. That's quite a good name! Its strength is quite impressive as well!"

"When I come next time, I'll feed you something delicious!" Gu He smiled and patted the Purple Demon Vulture's thick claw.

"A Zi, hurry up and thank Master!"

Since Gu He said he would give the Purple Demon Vulture something tasty, it would certainly be some precious treasure, so Han Yue was extremely delighted.

The Purple Demon Vulture understood Han Yue's meaning. Its enormous head bobbed up and down, while a young girl's childish voice came from its mouth. "Tha... thank you!"

Although the Purple Demon Vulture had already reached the sixth tier, it had only been born recently and had yet to take human form, so it still spoke rather clumsily.

Looking at the obedient Purple Demon Vulture, Gu He decided that when he came next time, he might give it a Shapeshifting Pill so it could transform into human form and grow more quickly.

"Han Yue, your Void Jade Talisman has now shattered, so I can no longer sense your approximate location. If nothing happens, try to remain in this mountain range or at the Han Family in Tianbei City... When I come next time, I will give you two more Void Jade Talismans!" The time for the Void Projection was almost up, so Gu He gave Han Yue a few instructions.

"Yes, Master. Don't worry. During this time, I'll be training in this mountain range!" Han Yue nodded in agreement.

Then, under Han Yue and the Purple Demon Vulture's watchful eyes, Gu He's figure abruptly dissipated from this world.

"Husband, are we heading directly to the Central Plains?"

At the edge of the Black Corner Region, atop the Black Scaled Cold Flood Dragon's back, Yun Yun leaned her delicate body against Gu He's shoulder and said softly, "Husband, from what you said earlier, are we about to travel through the Central Plains?"

"Yes. It's on the way anyway, so I'll stop by and give that girl some guidance," Gu He replied with a nod.

When his projection had appeared beside Han Yue, Gu He had almost simultaneously told Yun Yun about what was happening there, so Yun Yun understood the situation as well.

Gu He did not choose to enter some large city and travel to the Central Plains through a Space Wormhole. Instead, he continued using the Black Scaled Cold Flood Dragon, which had reached eighth-tier strength, as transportation, leisurely making his way toward the Central Plains.
