Could He Even Take a Fancy to These Things?

After taking the entire island into its embrace, Xiao Tian was nearly exhausted.

The Ancient Forest that once existed is now nothing but endless, bottomless, enormous pits.

Only the lingering aroma of herbs in the air silently tells the story of how many medicinal herbs once grew here.

"Master, please take this pill." Xiao Huiying hurriedly came to Xiao Tian's side, helped him up, and put a pill into Xiao Tian's mouth.

This is an Rank 8 Pills that restores Dou Qi. Given Xiao Tian and Xuan Yi Yi's status Alchemist, Yun Yun and the others have many Rank 8 Pills with various effects in their Storage Ring, such as healing, restoring Dou Qi, enhancing Dou Qi, strength, and so on.

After consuming the pill, Xiao Tian's Dou Qi recovered considerably.

The Five Elements Heavenly Thunder Art, a mid-level Heavenly Rank cultivation technique, instantly activated on his body. The surrounding Heaven and Earth Energy) Xiao Tian invisibly drawn towards him and absorbed into his body.

After absorbing all the Heaven and Earth Energy, Xiao Tian's complexion became rosy, and he even felt that his cultivation had increased slightly.

"Alright, there's nothing left in here. Let's leave and head to the next stop."

"Let's go! Let's go!!" Xiao Huiying cheered and grabbed Xiao Tian as they ran. "Let's quickly finish looting everything, then we can go back to the Free and Unfettered World and check out that Ancient Forest."

Xiao Tian let the lively Xiao Huiying pull him along.

Inside the square, an elderly man in gray robes was fighting against ten Puppet, while the others watched silently.

Finally, after the ten Puppet formed a formation, the leading Earth Demon Puppet evolved and punched the gray-robed elder, One-Star Dou Zun, sending him flying backward, coughing up blood.

Then, the Puppet flashed, grabbed the old man's foot, pulled him back, and threw him into the center of its formation.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, several Puppet pulled out stools from somewhere and started a group fight.

"Wait, is this the Puppet of Dou Sheng? It looks more like a thug or a hooligan."

For a moment, a flock of crows flew overhead, silently mourning for the old man in gray. Although he wouldn't be fatally injured, it was still a disgrace.

"Get out of my sight, all of you!!"

The gray-robed elder could no longer endure it and unleashed his full power without reservation, instantly sending all the Puppet flying. The elder then seized the opportunity to escape.

The Puppet that was thrown into the air also took the opportunity to retreat back to the front of the stone gate, and its face even vaguely showed a compassionate look similar to that of a monk.

Those around were slightly surprised by this turn of events, but that was all.

Then he looked at the old man in gray. He didn't seem to be injured, but there were footprints and bench marks on his body and even his face.

Many people's lips twitched slightly, as if they wanted to laugh but dared not.

However, through the old man's battle, everyone now understood the ultimate Combat Power of these Puppet: Two-Star Dou Zun, only their methods were somewhat extraordinary.

"It's the effect of that formation. It truly lives up to its reputation as Dou Sheng Expert. These ten Earth Demon Puppet, combined with that strange formation, are enough to contend with a Two-Star Dou Zun."

Xiao Yan had been observing these Puppet for a while, and finally came to a conclusion, his eyes gleaming with a burning desire.

Xiao Yan felt an absolute need to obtain these ten Puppet. Together with his Heavenly Demon Puppet, these Puppet would unleash even greater power. What he truly desired was their core—this peculiar array formation technique.

"Yanran, don't you feel that the way these Puppet move is a little familiar?" Xiao Yan scratched his head and asked Nalan Yanran beside him.

"There is a hint, but I can't quite place it. I feel like I've seen it somewhere before," Nalan Yanran said after a moment's thought upon hearing Xiao Yan's words.

Just then, the ten Puppet that were still standing seemed to receive some kind of command, looked up in Xiao Yan's direction, and then their auras exploded, charging straight towards Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was also startled by the sudden appearance of the Puppet, and his expression turned slightly ugly. He could feel that the Puppet's aura was locked onto him.

Others also noticed this scene, especially those forces that harbored hatred towards Xiao Tian, who couldn't help but sneer.

"Did this kid just do something that would incur divine wrath?"

"It's not impossible, otherwise why would this Puppet suddenly act like it's ready to fight to the death?"

"Serves him right, serves him right. We'll take advantage of this opportunity to kill this kid, then we can easily control that woman with the special physique next to him." The people from Ice River Valley all sneered, looking ready to make their move at any moment.

Although Heavenly Flame Venerable and Xiao Yan were puzzled as to why their Puppet were rushing towards them, they had no time to think about it anymore, and all three of them assumed their battle stances.

"Young friend Xiao Yan, I'm coming." Tang Zhen led the people of Burning Flame Valley, preparing to head towards Xiao Yan.

Before Tang Zhen could finish speaking, he was stunned into silence by the scene before him.

These Puppet, which had initially appeared menacing, suddenly collapsed neatly to the ground when they were less than five meters away from Xiao Yan.

A cloud of dust was stirred up, and after the dust settled, it lay neatly on the ground, like a toy that had run out of power.

"Yan Er, the marks on these Puppet have disappeared. Quickly take them away." Yao Lao's voice rang in Xiao Yan's mind.

Xiao Yan instantly woke up and quickly put the Puppet into his Storage Ring, not forgetting to imprint his soul mark on them as he did so.

"Teacher, what's going on?" Xiao Yan asked Yao Lao, puzzled.

"Just now, I sensed a familiar aura up there. Coupled with the thug-like gang fight we witnessed earlier, and the fact that these Puppet appeared beside you out of nowhere, only that bored guy would do something like that."

"Teacher, you mean, Tian Ge?" Xiao Yan understood immediately after being prompted by Yao Lao. "It does seem to be Tian Ge's style. The Free and Unfettered Hall has this kind of bench gang beating method, which is specially used to deal with those who come to show off their power."

"So that means Tian Ge has already gone inside."

"Nonsense, if he can control these Puppet, he must have already gone inside."

Why didn't you take those Puppet away that Tian Ge?

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yao Lao's voice was tinged with helplessness, "Do you think your brother would even look at these things?"

"Hehe, it seems that's true." Xiao Yan also remembered that his Tian Ge really disliked these Puppet, and given their strength, Puppet at the Dou Ancestor Peak could be easily destroyed.
