Su Jiu had finally found the puppet's weakness.
Sure enough, before Clone One died, it created another clone.
Unfortunately for it, transferring all its energy took time, and this time Su Jiu was not foolish enough to give it that chance.
An ice wall rose directly between Clone One and Clone Two, severing the thread that was almost invisible to the naked eye.
After all, Su Jiu's ice wall was formed from ice spiritual qi. Her spiritual qi was so pure that no foreign substance could easily penetrate it, and that naturally included the invisible thread.
The puppets had no capacity for thought; they acted on instinct alone. When Clone One and Clone Two could no longer sense each other, Clone One began searching for Clone Two, while Clone Two began to dissipate without an energy supply.
Clone One moved quickly, but Su Jiu gave it no time to search for Clone Two. It was already badly injured, and creating Clone Two had depleted part of its energy. Where it had once been evenly matched with Su Jiu, it could now only be crushed by her.
Su Jiu recalled her Frostbound Purple Ultimate Sword and swung it just once at Clone One. It never moved again.
At the same time, Clone Two finally dissipated, having received no replenishment of energy.
The moment Su Jiu finished dealing with the puppets, she ran toward Thirteen.
As for the low-level cultivators who tried to block her path, Su Jiu unleashed Thousand-Mile Ice Seal, freezing them all where they stood.
They could only watch helplessly as that ethereal, immortal-like figure leaped over their heads and flew deeper into the City Lord's Residence.
While she was still some distance from Thirteen, Su Jiu saw what stood opposite him.
She involuntarily faltered. Her surprise was understandable,
