And just then—
Among the hundred thousand Sword Cultivator Puppets at the Heavenly Immortal Peak, the sole Sword Cultivator Puppet at the Mid-Tribulation Realm slowly closed the mechanism behind its head, accompanied by a harsh, mechanical grinding sound.
Countless formation patterns glowing with white light suddenly surfaced across the Mid-Tribulation Realm Sword Cultivator Puppet's body, presenting a rather soul-stirring sight.

Chen Qiu merely glanced at it before quickly withdrawing his gaze and continuing to greedily inspect the underground plaza. A Mid-Tribulation Realm Sword Cultivator Puppet was not worth his concern.
He was considering only one matter now.
That was—
Could he take these hundred thousand Heavenly Immortal Peak Sword Cultivator Puppets away?
If he truly could take them away, then even if the Mocking Heaven Sect left behind karmic consequences as vast as the heavens, he would accept them! To say nothing else, he would at least be able to swagger unhindered across the Fourth-Grade Continent and the Fifth-Grade Immortal Realm!
Still, there was a high chance that they could not be taken away. After all, he was not the first person to arrive here. At the very least, Jiang Buping had come here before.
