Chapter 178 Marionette



After hearing Zhao Youliang's words, "Master Cao," who was clearly in a state of extreme fright, finally remembered to turn around and look.

Seeing that the strange thing really wasn't chasing him, he finally felt relieved.

My instinct was to ask for good food and drink, but considering my current awkward situation, I could only endure it for the time being.

Although he didn't ask for food or drink, he still put on airs.

"Hey, you're just a lowly shaman disciple, you're not worthy to speak to this old immortal. Hurry up and invite one of the spirits from your shrine!"

The speed at which "Black Demon God" changed his attitude surprised Zhao Youliang.

However, with his extremely high emotional intelligence, he naturally wouldn't get angry because of the other party's attitude. Instead, he immediately went along with it and silently recited the incantation to summon the immortals.

As soon as the incantation was finished, Zhao Youliang immediately felt a heaviness on his body.

It's like we were standing perfectly fine, and suddenly someone put a bag of rice on our shoulders.

Then, to Cao Banxian's astonishment, all the immortals from Zhao Youliang's sect appeared in unison.

From Huang Yu, the Prisoner, and Chang Jie, to the seven siblings of Xie Tang Xian and Silly Roe Deer, not one is missing.

Such a spectacular scene left not only "Half-Immortal Cao" stunned, but also Zhao Youliang.

"Brother Huang, Brother Qiu, what's going on here...?"

The quick-witted grasshopper spirit answered Zhao Youliang: "Quantum, the young master of the Huang family said you're going to settle some matters for someone tonight, to deal with that 'suppression technique'."

"We're worried, so we're making all the preparations."

"They all came as soon as you summoned them... Wait a minute, isn't this the Black Fiend? What are you doing here?"

"You've crossed the line, you know? You want to drag your men out for a little training, don't you?!"

The book subtly suggests that the various shamanic temples are actually divided into territories, much like how bandits used to establish their own mountain strongholds.

This area is mine, that area is yours; everyone can only resolve matters and accumulate merit within their own territory.

Crossing the line is tantamount to declaring war, and it's the kind of war that will last until death.

Of course, there are a few exceptions, which we will discuss later.

The pig spirit possessing Cao Daxian never dreamed that Zhao Youliang's immortal lineup would be so powerful, with even a direct descendant of the Huang family sitting in his hall.

And that burly man with a serious face, like a lion, isn't he the infamous Mad Prisoner?

Even he was there... As for Chang Jie, Pig Immortal didn't recognize him because Pig Immortal was too low-level to be of Chang Jie's caliber.

Seeing the malevolent-looking Xie Tangxian and the seven silly roe deer siblings, "Black Demon God" realized his mistake: he had rushed over to steal Yin Deity without even knowing their background.

Not only did the imagined "dragon crossing the river" scenario fail to materialize, but it also seemed more like they were asking for trouble...

Upon realizing this, "Black Demon God" quickly put on a fawning smile: "Misunderstanding! My lords, it's all a misunderstanding between us!"

"Before I came here, I didn't know this was your territory. If I had known, I wouldn't have dared to come even if you gave me eight lives!"

"I'll take my leave now, is that alright?"

However, if the "wild boar" is let go so easily, then what kind of evil cult is this, led by the grasshopper spirit? They should just call themselves a charity organization.

The grasshopper spirit chuckled coldly, "If we just let you go like this, you stinking pig, outsiders will think we men are afraid of you!"

"You can leave if you want, but you'd better leave at least one rear hull!"

The word "后鞧" (hòu qiū) is a northern dialect word meaning the meat on a pig's rump.

The grasshopper spirit refers to the entire hind leg of the "wild boar fairy".

Upon hearing this, the wild boar demon turned pale and retreated in terror.

"Grasshopper, we've known each other for a long time, aren't you going too far by doing this?!"

"Besides, Huang Jiaxian hasn't even spoken yet, why are you joining in the commotion!"

To Zhao Youliang's surprise, Huang Yu, who was usually good-tempered, had a cold face.

Upon hearing the "wild boar" mention him, he coldly replied, "The grasshopper means what this immortal means."

"Wild boar, you're not leaving here today without leaving something behind!"

The prisoner noticed Zhao Youliang's confusion and explained it to him telepathically.

"Don't be surprised by the quantum; Xiaoyu is just establishing your authority."

“If we don’t punish the wild boar today, then any Tom, Dick, or Harry will dare to come and trample on our land.”

"Furthermore, 'establishing authority' is a necessary step in setting up a shrine and engaging in shamanic practices. However, our shrine was set up in a hurry, so many things were omitted if possible."

"Today is the perfect opportunity to make up for it and let the surrounding gangs know how powerful we are!"

"Oh, I see!" Zhao Youliang nodded repeatedly, without intervening recklessly or pleading for the wild boar.

To reiterate: Zhao Youliang is a kind and good person, but not a pushover.

They knew the principle of striking once to avoid being struck a hundred times.

Besides, even if you don't care about your reputation, you should still consider Huang's younger brother and Chang Jie, right?

They were all "young masters" from prominent families, and they couldn't just swallow their anger when someone broke their rules.

......

On the other side, after hearing Huang Yu's words, the wild boar demon was completely desperate.

He knows his own situation best: if a fight really broke out, he probably couldn't even beat the grasshopper spirit, let alone Huang Yu and the mad ghost prisoner.

Just as the boar demon was about to beg for mercy again, the prisoner suddenly made a shushing gesture and then looked seriously into the distance.

Seeing this, the other immortals all looked over as well:

At the end of the road, a wooden figure walked in a crooked and unsteady manner.

That bizarre posture was like a marionette being manipulated haphazardly by a naughty child.

Upon seeing this wooden figure, the Wild Boar Immortal was immediately terrified and even tried to hide behind Zhao Youliang.

After being "awakened" by the grasshopper spirit's cold snort, he hurriedly and stammered out an explanation.

"My lords, this is the thing! This is what injured me just now!"

"Everyone, please be very careful! This thing is incredibly dangerous!"

"If the little man hadn't run so fast, he would have almost been killed by him!!!"

The wild boar's words immediately confused Zhao Youliang.

"Are you sure it's this thing, and not a female ghost with scissors?"

"How come it's different from what I saw last night?!"

Before the terrified wild boar could answer, the wooden figure had already staggered to the front of the immortals.

Fortunately, this scene was not visible to ordinary people and did not cause panic among those around them.

To the average person, it always appeared as if Zhao Youliang was talking to Cao Daxian, but they couldn't even hear the specific content of their conversation.

After the wooden figure arrived before the immortals, it mechanically turned its head little by little, finally looking at Zhao Youliang.

He then said something that baffled Zhao Youliang: "We're all suffering people, I advise you to mind your own business."

After saying this, the wooden figure shattered into pieces on the ground with a crash.

Only the immortals were left looking at each other in bewilderment...
