Xu Qingtong turned back, glanced at Zhuang Shengren, and asked, "Senior Brother Zhuang, why hasn't this forbidden ground been sealed off completely?"
Zhuang Shengren said, "I've set up a formation here. Ordinary people can't enter, and all the disciples on the peak know this is forbidden ground. No one would dare trespass here!"
Xu Qingtong shook his head and said, "It would still be better to destroy this place!"
As he spoke, he tossed the puppet sphere to Zhuang Shengren. Then he gave Zhuang Shengren a jade slip as well.
"Senior Brother Zhuang, this is a puppet I recently refined. The jade slip contains the method for binding it. Bind it first, and then I'll teach you how to control it."
Zhuang Shengren was rather dismissive. I'm a fifth-layer Foundation Establishment cultivator. Here in Bingzhou, I wouldn't claim I can swagger around unchallenged, but there aren't many who could force me to use my full strength! What use would I have for this puppet?
Xu Qingtong seemed to understand what Zhuang Shengren was thinking. With a faint smile, he said, "Senior Brother Zhuang, bind it first. You'll see in a moment!"
Half believing and half doubting, Zhuang Shengren read through the jade slip, then forced out a drop of essence blood and began binding the puppet according to its instructions.
Once Zhuang Shengren had finished, Xu Qingtong took out a high-grade spirit stone, opened the mechanism beneath the puppet's left armpit, and placed the spirit stone inside.
"All right, Senior Brother Zhuang. Use the puppet control method and try having it attack this mountain cave!" Xu Qingtong told Zhuang Shengren.
Zhuang Shengren did as instructed, controlling the puppet to unleash Gu Zifeng's Golden Light Slash toward the cave entrance.
With a boom, the Golden Light Slash struck the entrance.
