Jun Yiyao's expression flickered uncertainly as she stared fixedly into the depths of the small island.
But she immediately drew a deep breath and said, "No matter what it is, I have to inform Sikong Jing. If I give him this news, it can ease all our relations..."
With that thought, Jun Yiyao was about to flash away at once.
But then... Buzz!
A layer of barrier suddenly appeared around the island in every direction. From afar came the cold voice of the blue-robed middle-aged man: "No one is allowed to leave. Nothing is allowed to leave either. Otherwise, death!"
Jun Yiyao stopped instantly. Looking at the terrifying barrier before her, she did not move.
Her expression shifted wildly as she muttered her assessment, "This barrier was hastily set up by the blue-robed middle-aged man. If I go all out, I might be able to break it—but if I attack and break through it, the blue-robed middle-aged man will definitely return..."
At this moment, Jun Yiyao could tell that the barrier was not particularly strong, but she did not dare make a move.
Time slowly trickled by...
Jun Yiyao stood where she was, inwardly crying out, Why am I so unlucky? Especially now, when she had no way to notify Sikong Jing.
Suddenly... Thud, thud, thud!
Heavy footsteps came from the depths of the island, making every hair on Jun Yiyao's body stand on end again.
She could not help calling out in a low voice, "Who is it?"
The next moment, her pupils contracted. "A... a Demonic Puppet?"
A massive figure stepped out from the dense forest.
It was something identical to the terrifying Demonic Puppet at Sikong Jing's side. But Jun Yiyao immediately noticed the difference.
This Demonic Puppet had an extra hole in its abdomen—a fist-sized opening.
