Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

It should be noted that even the place where Iwasaki Taro is currently living had no protective measures before Cui Ming occupied it; there were only some shikigami used as traps.

Given Taro Iwasaki's personality, it's simply unrealistic for him to prioritize his own safety over protecting the old house.

Moreover, Taro Iwasaki has no memory of this at all.

Therefore, the arrangement here must not be the work of the Iwasaki family.

Although Cui Ming only brought Yong En with him on this trip.

But secretly, there are also Bai Lian and the two sisters, Xia and Die, who were transferred from the 37th Regiment.

While brainwashing Mitsubishi executives at the Iwasaki residence garden, Cui Ming had Iwasaki Taro bring all the modified Higanbana ninjas from the 37th Regiment back to Tokyo to assist Cui Ming's next move.

However, after discovering something was wrong with the Iwasaki family's old house.

Cui Ming then used a mental link to have Bai Lian and the others use the Earth Vein Mystic Armor to carefully explore the entire Iwasaki Old House.

The only guard in front of me was at the entire Iwasaki old house.

However, there is a hidden tunnel in the old house that leads to a distant place.

After confirming several times that there was only one guard at the place.

Cui Ming then disguised the power of Dan Shi into his work ID by submitting proof, and handed it over along with the ID.

In the blink of an eye, Cui Ming had the skinny old man completely under his control.

After using a hidden wire to bring the old man into the house.

A burst of blue light surged from the thin old man's body, and his originally thin and withered appearance instantly disappeared.

A young girl in a blue dress, her face filled with terror, appeared before Cui Ming and Yong En.

The girl looked quite young, maybe sixteen or seventeen, with an oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and a delicate nose.

Her lips were tightly clenched, her eyes were brimming with tears, yet she stared intently at Cui Ming, displaying a defiant attitude despite her apparent defeat.

Seeing that she seemed unconvinced, Cui Ming twitched his index finger.

The power of Dan Shi loosened its control over the girl, but only allowed her to move freely; the Qi within her body was still firmly locked by Cui Ming.

The sudden freedom made the girl go limp, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

Once she came to her senses, she regained control of her body.

He immediately shouted angrily.

"You despicable scoundrel! What kind of skill is it to launch a sneak attack! If you're so capable..."

The little girl raised her hands in a claw-like shape, looking extremely agitated and ready to pounce at any moment.

But as he was talking, he suddenly realized something, and his harsh words stopped halfway through.

"Why...why can't I mobilize my Qi?! Is it you?!"

It’s over.

The girl simply sat up like a duck and collapsed to the ground.

I originally planned to intimidate them and then use my superpowers to escape, but I didn't expect the other party to be so domineering.

It was astonishing that she couldn't even mobilize a single trace of Qi.

"Tell me, which side's spy are you on? And where is the book passed down from the Iwasaki family?"

Looking at the little girl who had already grasped the situation, Cui Ming wasn't in a hurry to brainwash her.

However, the little girl immediately relaxed upon hearing Cui Ming's words.

"What! So you're not one of the supernatural beings from the Iwasaki family?"

"I thought I was going to die here today."

Her panicked expression vanished instantly. She patted her already flat chest and stood up with a relaxed air.

"I am the three-tailed fox of the Demon Alliance! You absolutely cannot lay a hand on me! Otherwise, you will be violating the newly signed 'Human-Demon Peace Agreement'!"

The little girl seemed to have found an opportunity and stood in front of Cui Ming with her hands on her hips.

"If you don't want to die from the rampage of your internal energy, you'd better obediently kowtow and thank me..."

Snapped!

Cui Ming gave the little girl who called herself a three-tailed fox a sharp flick on the forehead.

She let out a wail, immediately covered her head, squatted down in defense, and started rolling around on the spot.

By the time she finished rolling around and recovered...

But then they discovered that several uninvited guests had suddenly appeared in the old Iwasaki house.

Moreover, these people, led by the bad guy who bullied her, were kneeling on one knee and worshipping him.

The few people who suddenly appeared were the Bai Lian and Xia Die sisters, who had just returned from scouting the surrounding area.

Not only that, the three of them also had an unexpected bonus.

While Cui Ming was controlling the three-tailed fox, the three discovered that a group of strange people were sneaking around to the hidden tunnel exit of the Iwasaki old house.

This group had a clear objective; it was obvious they knew the location of the tunnel exit.

Bai Lian immediately reported through the mental link. Cui Ming's instructions were also very simple: kill the secondary target and capture the master.

There isn't enough time to control each one individually and avoid wasting resources.

Bai Lian quickly began to renovate the tunnel leading to the old house of Iwasaki.

With continuous waving of his hands, he produced a series of small, combined array plates developed jointly by the Divine Machine Alliance and the Wuhou Sect.

These array plates were scattered throughout the tunnel by Bai Lian, and they began to operate rapidly after landing.

A series of soft mechanical sounds rang out, and the array plate began to construct several simple array prototypes on its own.

At the same time, a series of mechanical sounds came from behind Bai Lian, and four mechanical arms extended from his back, allowing Bai Lian to multitask and simultaneously sketch and improve several preliminary formations.

With the assistance of four mechanical arms, the speed at which the Hundred Refinements completed the formation was frighteningly fast.

If the sorcerers of the "Shu" sect saw this, they would probably be astonished.

This change was brought about by the Wuhou faction and the Shenji Alliance complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses.

Without the help of the Gas Bureau, the effectiveness of a Warlock opening a battle directly against the enemy will be greatly reduced.

Unless one possesses profound skills like those of the Wuhou School, sorcerers are extremely vulnerable in skirmishes.

Then some people might ask...

If warlocks are this weak, then they'll definitely be defeated as soon as they meet in an encounter, right?

Hey! That's not necessarily true.

Because there is another one that is equally fragile and of high value!

That's a weapon refiner.

Most ordinary weapon refiners spend their entire lives working on their magical artifacts.

Without a protective artifact, the probability of being instantly killed in a sudden attack is extremely high.

An average weapon refiner probably won't have more than a few magical artifacts in their entire life.

Not to mention top-tier magical artifacts that combine offense and defense, which are things that many people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Moreover, because they spent all their time on magical artifacts, their physical skills were only average.

This is true of most of the weapon refiners in Tiangong Hall, including the brothers Zhao Pingshan and Zhao Tianhai.

However, thanks to the joint efforts of Ma Benzai, Liang Wu, Tian Xiaodie, and others.

This led to the development of such a portable mechanism.

Whether it's a sorcerer or a weapon refiner, as long as they throw out this array plate, the array plate will operate on its own and construct the pre-drawn array.

This allows warlocks and weapon refiners to quickly construct defensive structures.

This greatly enhances their survivability by helping them withstand the initial attack.

What? You're saying what to do if the formation can't stop it?

Then you'd better pray that your body is tougher than the formation.

Otherwise, I'll probably have to bring daisies to visit you every year on this day.

Let's get down to business.

The array plate that Bai Lian carries is the most basic version, which has several advantages.

First, because it is simple enough, it is the fastest to build.

Second, because it is basic enough, it is also the simplest to modify.

From the moment Bai Lian and the others discovered someone's presence until the formation was completed, it actually took less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.

In that short time, the group of supernatural beings barely managed to find the tunnel exit.

Meanwhile, the two sisters, Xia and Die, were not idle either.

The invisibility cloak, crafted by Bai Lian before his death, has also been deciphered by the Divine Machine Alliance.

The two are now setting up various hidden traps in the passageway.

Most of them are based on the explosive butterflies that rely on the innate superpowers of butterflies, supplemented by special camouflage materials that extend from the invisibility cloak.

The underground passage leading to the Iwasaki family's old house is now fraught with danger.

The three of them hid directly within the formation constructed by Bai Lian, and even wrapped themselves in an additional layer of Xia's invisibility cloak.

Not long after, a series of faint footsteps came from afar.

Butterfly sensed the frequency of the ground vibrations and realized that there were thirteen uninvited guests in total.

That's exactly the number of people in a special operations team.

The three communicated directly through a telepathic link, leaving no room for error.

What happened next was quite simple.

Thirteen overjoyed soldiers, believing themselves to be the ones hiding in the shadows, would easily conquer a stronghold with only one guard.
