I create patterns, regardless of your level of expertise.

The mansion was in complete chaos. Li Hao paid no attention to these lowly henchmen and went straight inside.

Inside the central hall, a specially created spatial rift stood.

Countless disciples were squeezing inside, while another elder stood inside.

"Hurry! Hurry up!"

He shouted, his face filled with anxiety.

Upon seeing Li Hao appear, he shuddered violently. Ignoring the fact that the disciples hadn't even fully entered, he steeled his heart and decisively closed the gate.

One unlucky fellow had only just put one leg in when the rift closed, and they cleanly and efficiently cut his leg off.

This disciple, who was only at the second level of cultivation, was severely injured by him. He immediately collapsed to the ground, clutching his crippled leg and crying out in pain.

"Ah! My legs! My legs!"

As Li Hao drew closer, he disregarded his legs and hurriedly used his strength to move backward.

"Don't come any closer!"

"Please, let me go! I didn't do anything to you!"

Li Hao glanced at him, found him annoying, and said, "Get lost."

The disciple swallowed hard, then, disregarding everything else, hurriedly crawled away on his knees.

Li Hao continued forward and finally arrived at the location of the portal.

This place is actually easy to spot; there's a circle on the ground marking where the portal appears, probably to prevent people from getting hurt if it suddenly opens.

"You think hiding in a secret space will solve everything? How naive."

Li Hao chuckled softly, then slowly raised his hand.

The mere act of raising a hand caused the surrounding space to collapse due to the terrifying power it contained.

Then, he raised his hand and wiped it in front of him.

The space was instantly wiped away like dust, revealing the portal behind it.

Inside, the elder who had just closed the door was still giving orders to the disciples who had escaped inside when he suddenly noticed something and turned around sharply.

He met Li Hao's excessively cold eyes.

"You...you..."

"What do you mean 'you'? Get out of my way."

Li Hao reached out, pressed his face aside, and stepped inside.

After Xiaowei and Tiege came in, he waved his hand and sealed the entrance with bedrock.

The other disciples were terrified. Some of the more timid ones collapsed to the ground, their legs giving way, and two streams of yellow fluid flowed out.

The bolder ones drew their weapons and aimed them at Li Hao, but their bodies trembled violently, as if they were in the dead of winter.

Li Hao ignored them and pulled the elder over again.

"What's your name?"

"Yang Yue".

"Take me to the place where your disciples usually practice puppetry."

Not to mention the disciples, Elder Yang was also quite frightened.

However, he was an elder after all, and was a little more composed than these disciples.

"Sir, although I don't know your background, I advise you to be more discreet. After all, this is the Heavenly Puppet Sect."

"To be able to break through space and force my way in, one must be at least at the tenth realm. That would be very powerful outside, but here..."

Li Hao slapped him so hard he flew two miles away!

"Knowing I'm at least at the tenth realm, you still dare to waste your breath on me?"

Shaking his hand, Li Hao looked at the disciple directly in front of him and asked, "What's your name?"

Seeing Yang Yue being swatted away like trash, the disciple, who had finally managed to pick up the weapon, could no longer hold it and it crashed to the ground with a thud.

"I'm asking you a question," Li Hao asked again, his tone already showing some impatience.

"Little Hu Erniu..."

"Take me to the place where you usually practice your puppetry."

The image of Yang Yuefei flying out flashed through Hu Erniu's mind, and he dared not say another word. He quickly bowed to Li Hao and then led the way.

After they left, the remaining disciples fled as if they were running away, and all tried to find a way to notify the other elders in the sect.

However, they don't need to notify us anymore.

After Li Hao knocked Yang Yue away, they sensed it and flew over.

The Heavenly Puppet Sect is a major sect, with as many as three or four hundred outer sect elders alone. Although there are fewer inner sect elders, their quality is exceptionally high, with many being veterans at the ninth or tenth realm.

Most importantly, these guys who specialize in puppetry each have at least one puppet of the same level, and now they're all mixed together, making them incredibly dense.

"How dare you! Who is so bold as to force their way into the Heavenly Puppet Sect?"

To Hu Erniu, who was leading the way, each of these elders was a figure from heaven. Now, however, they were blocking his way in droves, which almost made him faint from fright.

But a second before he fainted, Li Hao grabbed him with one hand and poured a bucket of milk down his throat.

Then, he turned his head slightly and said to the iron golem, "Anyone who dares to stop me, just kill them."

Although Tie Ge couldn't speak yet, he bumped his fists together to express his meaning.

"Keep leading the way. If you dare to play dead, I'll really let you die."

After drinking the milk, Hu Erniu felt more awake than he had ever been in his life.

But right now, being sober is not a good thing!

"Elder, I was forced into this! I had no choice!"

He could only howl and shout ahead, then resignedly close his eyes, grit his teeth, and continue walking forward.

The elders at the front were even more furious upon seeing this.

"This guy clearly doesn't respect us! Kill him!"

"That's right, the reputation of the Heavenly Puppet Sect cannot be dishonored! If we let him leave alive today, how will we ever have the face to stand in the human realm again!"

"Kill him!"

Just as the elders were filled with righteous indignation and Tie Ge was itching for a fight.

Suddenly, a streak of light flew down from the highest palace and blocked the front of the elders.

"The Grand Elder?"

"Elder, you've come at the right time! Quickly activate the sect's protective formation and kill him!"

Faced with the crowd's righteous indignation, Elder Cao Yan showed no intention of helping them. Instead, he reprimanded the group of elders, saying, "Shut up!"

"Senior Li is an honored guest of our Heavenly Puppet Sect. How dare you be so insolent!"

The Medicine Tower had sent them a letter early in the morning, informing them in detail of Li Hao's upcoming arrival, as well as a portrait of Li Hao.

As the Grand Elder, Cao Yan naturally knew about it, but the matter had not yet spread, so the others were unaware of it.

But the time mentioned in the letter is still more than half a year away, isn't it? How come it's already here?

Someone complained, "Elder, what kind of distinguished guest is this? He's already at our doorstep! Isn't this accusing our Heavenly Puppet Sect of having no one to rely on?"

Cao Yan broke out in a cold sweat. After all, the letter from the Medicine Tower clearly stated that this guy had just gone to the Demon Realm and killed the Demon Lord and the Twelve Demon Gods. What was their Heavenly Puppet Sect compared to that?!

There are only two people at the twelfth realm in total, but they wiped out thirteen of them in an instant!

In his eyes, the Heavenly Puppet Sect was just lacking in talent!

"Nonsense! Get back here, all of you! Or you'll be punished according to the sect rules!"

Cao Yan managed to temporarily suppress the crowd with his authority as the Grand Elder, but it was clear that they were all very dissatisfied.

Cao Yan was sweating profusely, but he couldn't care less about such trivial matters at the moment. He quickly landed and bowed and scraped as he approached Li Hao.
