"Behave yourself, or I'll throw you back to the underworld."
Upon hearing Tang Nian's words, the longsword stopped struggling and obediently stayed in her hand, following her to fight the enemy.
Her figure weaved through the group of puppets, each attack precise and powerful.
"etc."
The puppet's movements stopped completely at that moment.
Tang Nian paused in her action of throwing the sword, then casually tucked it behind her back and turned to look at the old man standing behind the group of puppets.
"Old Yang, oh no, Chu Wende, you've finally decided to come out?"
Having gone this far, there's no need for anyone to test each other.
"Master Tang is indeed worthy of his reputation."
Old Yang walked out with a cold smile and stood at the very front of the puppet.
At that moment, Lin Zhenming walked up to Old Yang's side.
“I originally wanted to win you two over, but now it seems there’s no need for that.”
Although Old Yang felt a little regretful, there was not a trace of a smile in his eyes.
"You don't actually think you can reclaim the throne with these puppets of yours?"
Tang Nian tapped the hilt of her sword lightly with her fingers and asked casually.
With the enemy lurking in the shadows, she didn't want to reveal her true identity before everyone was assembled.
She could only pretend to be an ordinary Taoist priest and fight against the puppets.
But the puppet's attack was too fierce, and she couldn't find an opportunity to destroy all the silver threads.
But keeping it like this will always be a problem.
We need to find a way to deal with it.
"Master Tang, I advise you to be cautious."
Having learned from the morning's experience, Old Yang immediately knew what Tang Nian was thinking.
"Chu Wende, you don't actually think that your puppets, and the unfinished ones in the military camp, can stop me?"
Tang Nian yawned lazily, clearly out of place with the tense atmosphere.
"Master Tang, you can be stubborn as you are, but you should also consider his feelings."
The moment his voice fell, a man in black descended from the sky.
In his hand, he was also holding the collar of someone Tang Nian was very familiar with.
It's Ming Huan!
Ming Huan kept his head down, whether he was unconscious or not, and was carried by the man in black all the way without any sign of struggling.
Tang Nian looked again and realized that the man in black was also someone she knew.
She couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
"Ji Shuhe?"
Ji Shuhe, no longer displaying his previous gentle and refined demeanor, walked over to Old Yang's side.
"Master Tang, Lord Lou, it's been a long time."
At this moment, he had a wicked smile on his face, looking even more like a demon than Ji Jingyu.
"What did you do to Ming Huan?"
Tang Nian frowned and asked loudly.
"What he did is not important. What is important is that if you dare to move even a little bit, he will be dead."
Old Yang looked at the scene before him with great satisfaction and said with a smile.
Tang Nian clenched her fists tightly.
"what you up to?"
Lou Mu glanced at Ming Huan briefly before turning to look at Elder Yang.
Can't you tell?
Old Yang seemed to have heard a huge joke and laughed heartily.
He raised his arm, looked at his "masterpiece," and declared, "I! Will use my puppet army to unify the entire world!"
Tang Nian knew that the world he was referring to was not just the Great Chu, but also the Great Gan.
If someone like that were to become emperor, the world would be doomed, if not destroyed.
"And you! Those who dared to ruin my plans, all of you, die!"
Before Lou Mu and Tang Nian could speak, a man in white landed in front of them.
His clothes were being held tightly by someone—it was Chu Roujia.
"Ji Jingyu, why did you bring her here?"
Now, he brought Chu Roujia here, isn't he just making her a sitting duck for them?
Tang Nian quickly pulled Chu Roujia over and shielded her behind her.
Chu Roujia wasn't particularly afraid.
She remained calm, her eyes fixed on Chu Wende, who stood in the center.
"Is this my royal uncle?" she murmured softly.
She never imagined that she would see her long-lost royal uncle in such a scene.
And his own royal uncle really wanted to destroy the empire built by their ancestors.
Ignoring the people behind him, Ji Jingyu stepped forward and said, "Ji Shuhe, you really are here."
Ji Shuhe showed no surprise whatsoever. Instead, he smiled and said, "So it was a traitor."
Ji Jingyu's hands were hidden by the wide sleeves of his clothes, and he clenched his fists tightly.
Ji Shuhe didn't care about any of that and looked at Tang Nian again.
"He's betrayed us so many times, Master Tang, do you still dare to trust him?"
Tang Nian also realized what was happening, but she didn't show it at all; she just chuckled softly.
Even if she suspected Ji Jingyu, she wouldn't listen to an enemy's provocation in this kind of situation.
She asked casually in return.
"In what capacity do you speak to me like that?"
She looked around and saw that almost everyone had arrived.
She didn't mind giving the other side an unexpected scare at this moment.
"And who told you that I am a Celestial Master?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Nian revealed her snake-like eyes.
Cranes are, after all, birds, and they are still somewhat afraid of snakes.
Ji Shuhe instinctively took half a step back.
Suddenly remembering that he still had hostages, he immediately regained his balance.
Old Yang looked at Ji Shuhe's actions, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
He hid it very well, but Lou Mu saw through it all.
"It's obvious that I didn't study properly in the clan. My name is not only famous in the human world, but it is also a household name in the demon realm."
"Otherwise, why would Ji Jingyu abandon the darkness and embrace the light?"
Tang Nian emphasized the four characters "abandon darkness and embrace light," which made Ji Shuhe so angry that his teeth itched.
Perhaps feeling that they had chosen the right side, Ji Shuhe and Tang Nian were completely different people when they first met.
He didn't even want to pretend.
What does it mean to abandon darkness and embrace the light?
His voice was loud, as if he wanted to prove that his choice was right by making a loud noise.
"This is a mission sent by an immortal. You're nothing more than a demon!"
Tang Nian burst out laughing.
Lou Mu and Ji Jingyu beside them were also suppressing their laughter.
She used to think Ji Shuhe was a fairly intelligent half-demon, but now she sees that he's incredibly stupid.
Since that's the case, she didn't want to say anything more to him.
"Alright, since you think I'm a demon, then so be it."
"However, a half-demon is still a half-demon. You don't actually think that what you have is just a little demon, do you?"
Tang Nian scoffed.
She went to see Minghuan today, and when Minghuan told her about it, she still didn't believe it.
However, after Ming Huan's repeated requests and confirming that Ming Huan was not seriously injured, Tang Nian finally agreed to Ming Huan's request.
Therefore, Ming Huan was allowing Ji Shuhe to bring him out.
Even if Ming Huan is seriously injured, dealing with a half-demon is still not a problem.
Before Ji Shuhe could figure out what Tang Nian meant, he felt a sharp pain in his palm.
He winced in pain, released Ming Huan's collar, and stared intently at his palm.
