At the same time.
Thousands of miles away.
Nestled among the endless mountains.
A man and a woman stood side by side on the top of a towering tree.
The man possesses the aura of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
Women possess the aura of a Nascent Soul in its early stages.
They all stared at the distant mountainside, as if waiting for something.
The woman said in a deep voice, "Senior brother, will that demon general puppet show itself?"
The man nodded: "Absolutely."
"We received a notification from the city that the demon general puppet seems to be heading across the sea, and the Hundred Thousand Mountains beneath our feet are the last barrier to its journey into the sea; this is its only way through."
The woman nodded and said, "That's good!"
She then exclaimed in astonishment, "The order from the elder indicates that the demon general puppet is actually at the mid-Nascent Soul stage? This is simply unbelievable!"
"We, the Flame Sect, have been researching puppets for many years, but we haven't been able to create a puppet that reaches the mid-Nascent Soul stage."
"Not to mention these are spiritual puppets that can come and go as they please."
A look of suspicion flashed across her face.
The man frowned and said, "Our Flame Sect is the orthodox school of puppet making. The reason we haven't been able to create a puppet at the mid-Nascent Soul stage is not because our skill level is insufficient, but because we lack the materials to match it."
To create a top-tier puppet, two things are indispensable: top-notch technology and a massive investment of money. Neither can be lacking!
The man's eyes gleamed as he said, "The elder's insistence that we obtain the puppet this time is perhaps to investigate why it can leave its master and act independently."
The woman objected, saying, "I don't think it's possible for a puppet to leave its master. If there's a puppet, there must be a master nearby controlling it."
The man said thoughtfully, "Not necessarily. What if the puppet is possessed and then runs away?"
"No way! If you're going to possess someone, you should possess a living person. Who would possess a puppet? A puppet doesn't even have three souls and seven spirits. It's not a good place to reside."
After a few words of casual conversation, the man concluded, "It's pointless to say anything now. Once the puppet arrives and we take it down, we'll understand."
The woman nodded with a smile, then asked in confusion, "But senior brother, you seem to have brought the gold and silver puppets with you today, why is that?"
The gold and silver puppets are my senior brother's trump card, and he usually doesn't use them.
The man's eyes gleamed as he said, "Because today, only success is allowed, failure is not an option. I want to take that super puppet for myself!"
The woman's eyes widened: "But the elder specifically requested this puppet."
The man said in a sinister tone, "Let's be quick and decisive, and take down that super puppet as soon as possible."
"When the elders ask, I will explain that I did not see the super puppet, or perhaps it passed by somewhere else."
"Could it be that he can read my memories?"
"Just imagine, if we, your fellow disciples, had such a mid-Nascent Soul stage puppet henchman in the future, wouldn't we be able to do whatever we want within the sect?"
The woman was tempted, but worried, she said, "What if the elders find out?"
The man said in a deep voice, "If the elder confirms that the puppet is in my possession, I will have no choice but to hand it over."
"But I've paid such a high price, I certainly won't do it for nothing. Even if he's an elder, he'll have to give me something commensurate with him in exchange!"
"Is it too much for me to earn a little extra for my hard work?"
The woman pondered the suggestion and thought it was an excellent strategy.
Most importantly, my senior brother is also a second-generation cultivator with connections; he's not an ordinary disciple.
So this unconventional move has a basis!
