Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 159: There are many things going wrong

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Su!"

"If it weren't for the increasing number of monsters gathering outside the forward camp recently, we wouldn't be in such a hurry for lizard riders!"

"I heard that Fellow Daoist Su has been studying new types of puppets at home recently. He has taken time out of his busy schedule to spare us attention. He is truly a kind person!"

"Twenty thousand spirit crystals per set, regardless of whether it's mounted archery, mounted combat, or heavy cavalry. We can't let Fellow Daoist Su's efforts go to waste!"

"Fellow Daoist Su has been back at the front-line camp and hasn't come to visit us yet. The sisters have been missing you. Don't worry, when Fellow Daoist Su comes again, we'll only bring three sisters to keep you company at most. We won't embarrass you."

Early in the morning, before the Tyrant Black Armor Tiger could even install its hand cannon, guests arrived at the door.

Instead, it was Bear King's long-legged grandson and Rat King's sister-in-law Niu who arrived.

Tang Wanqing and Niu Ya did not come.

Su Qing, puzzled, asked them a couple of questions and then understood the reason.

During the few days he was in seclusion refining the puppet.

The situation at the forward camp has changed again.

The monsters that had gathered at the low mountain defense line were migrating towards the forward camp.

The leading monsters have begun to attack the various defensive lines of the forward camp in groups of three to five.

Yunshan Sect also launched its battle merit plan yesterday.

With the merits gained from slaying demonic beasts and evil cultivators, one can exchange them for all sorts of fine items from the Yunshan Sect.

Including but not limited to custom formations, second-tier magic artifacts, top-quality pills, and exquisite lotus root figures...

The most enticing prize was the auction slot for the Foundation Establishment Pill, worth 10,000 battle merits.

This greatly boosted the enthusiasm of the independent cultivators to fight against the monsters.

The Rat King Team and the Bear King Team, who were already hired by the Yunshan Sect, have been working tirelessly on the front lines these past few days. They catch monsters and their eyes turn red as if they've seen a wife, their battle merits are skyrocketing, and they're making a fortune in spirit crystals.

In order to improve the efficiency of killing demons, he sent Sun Yan and Niu Shisan to pick up the goods.

Out of consideration for his sister-in-law and Tang Wanqing, Su Qing sold them four lizard riders each.

They had just been seen off.

But then he saw Wei Debao loitering suspiciously near his house.

"It's been a while since I've seen Fellow Daoist Wei!"

Why don't you sell witch puppets anymore, fellow Daoist? Does this mean you're becoming distant from me?

"We're already at your doorstep, why don't you come in and have a seat?"

Upon seeing the man, Su Qing smiled sincerely and cupped his hands in greeting, inviting him to sit in the courtyard.

Seeing that his expression didn't seem fake, and considering that he himself was a peak first-order body cultivator, Wei Debao realized that something was wrong, and that the small courtyard couldn't possibly confine him.

He secretly thought that the witch Liu Yun'er might not have told Su Qing that it was Wei Debao who betrayed Su Qing.

Hoping to get away with it, he pretended nothing had happened, chatted with Su Qing for a few moments, and then followed her into the courtyard.

As soon as I entered the hospital.

Wei Debao tensed up, realizing something was wrong.

When he tried to leave, two blasting war bears were already at the door, holding their warhammers, giving him no chance.

If he tried to escape by climbing over the wall again, there were many unidentified flying objects above the courtyard wall, seemingly carrying whirlwind cannons aimed directly at him.

Looking at the front was even more terrifying: a second-tier demonic tiger, its imposing aura overwhelming, scaring him so much he almost wet his pants.

"Fellow Daoist Su, what is this? What is this all about!"

Wei Debao, tears streaming down his face, cried out to Su Qing.

"What for? That beautiful snake puppet is coveted by many fellow Daoists. I only sold it to you because I saw how deeply Fellow Daoist Wei cherished it. I treated you with sincerity, but how have you treated me in return!"

He willingly betrayed the witch's secrets. Fellow Daoist Wei looks tough and resolute, but when it comes to real trouble, his bones are too soft.

Today, I'll loosen your bones a bit more, fellow Daoist!

On Black Tiger Mountain, Su Qing, who had been cursing Wei Debao for dozens of days, had long wanted to give him a good beating. Now that he had the chance, how could he let it slip by!

"Fellow Daoist, you are innocent! You committed a crime long ago by crafting that witch puppet!"
Regardless of whether the beautiful snake was created by you, fellow Daoist, the witch still wants to find you, doesn't she?

Besides, it wasn't that I didn't persevere at the time; I held on for at least three breaths before being forced by the wicked witch to reveal your identity, fellow Daoist!

Wei Debao was terrified when he saw the tiger's face so close to his eyes. He regretted entering Su Qing's courtyard. Now, he was probably in a more difficult situation than escaping from the witch's clutches!
Su Qing refused to listen to his explanation.

clap clap clap!
The three-hammered hammer of the Explosive War Bear buried half of Wei Debao's body in the ground.

With the tiger egg's imposing presence, Wei Debao, who had lost his courage, found it difficult to unleash his full potential.

He could only let his puppets continue to ravage him.

Just when he was about to be played to death by the puppets.

He suddenly shouted a sentence.

"Fellow Daoist Su, please wait! I have someone who wants to sell... no, I have information to provide!"

"What news could you possibly have? I don't need any news right now, I just want to vent my anger!"

Su Qing instructed the Explosive Hammer War Bear to control the pace and not kill him too quickly.

Bang!
"The Golden Core cultivator from the Yunshan Sect is about to arrive at the forward camp!"

What's it to me!

Bang!
"According to the investigation by the Foundation Establishment disciples of Yunshan, this beast tide is being driven by a third-tier demon king!"

wrong!

Wasn't this beast tide caused by demonic cultivators?
What? Did they overdo it?

Upon hearing this, Su Qing raised his hand, signaling the Explosive Hammer War Bear to temporarily cease its rampage.

They pulled Wei Debao out of the ground, where he was about to be buried.

"Brother Debao, your physique is truly robust. I just tested it, and your body is perfectly suited to the beautiful snake I just refined!"

Patting the dust and bloodstains off Wei Debao, Su Qing smiled and said to him.

"Fellow Daoist Su has produced new goods again. You must give me one. Fellow Daoist has no idea how much I've suffered these days without the beautiful snake and the witch puppet!"

They really suffered, being beaten like that, but upon hearing about the beautiful snake, they felt as if the pain had completely disappeared!
"Fellow Daoist, you should also understand that if the news is true, not only will we still be friends, but we will also have puppets to buy."

But if the news is false, even if you walk out of this courtyard today, you may not survive!

Su Qing said in a threatening tone.

Although he knew Wei Debao's integrity in selling people, he had some doubts about his connections.

He's just the brother-in-law of an inner disciple, how much information could he possibly know?

The news that a Golden Core cultivator was coming to instigate a beast tide with a third-tier demon king was completely unknown even to Yuan Tianye, who was indulging in revelry with the beautiful snake day and night.

How did he know that?!
"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, the information is absolutely true. I have a brother-in-law who is a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Yunshan Sect."

This was the news he brought back from his investigation of the Hundred Beast Mountains. He said that, just currently, behind that low mountain defense line, there was already a third-tier demon king, and who knows how many more would arrive later!

"You also have a brother-in-law who has completed the Foundation Establishment stage. My apologies!" Su Qing said, bowing respectfully.

No wonder Wei Debao is doing so well at the front-line camp; it turns out he has many brothers-in-law.
