"It’s possible." Kuang Song nodded.

Puppet masters were not rare in the immortal realm.

However, this was the first time that Kuang Song had seen such exquisite work, almost indisnguishable from ordinary cultivators.

’I am afraid Shen Xu’s and Zhen Yuan’s background is not simple.’ Kuang Song thought but didn’t take it to heart.

After all, the Ten Evils sect was a powerful force and few factions dared to mess with them.

Even if Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan had a powerful background, Kuang Song felt that it probably wasn’t as powerful as his own.

"Old lady Zhang is not a match for that puppet." A voice suddenly interrupted the conversation.

Hearing this, Kuang Song, Wang Haiwen, and the others turned to look, and saw that the old lady was struggling against the puppet.

However, this wasn’t unexpected.

On one hand, old lady Zhang was an early-stage tribulation transcending realm cultivator and on the other, she was a level nine poison master.

Since the puppet was not a living thing, old lady Zhang could not do much about it and was suppressed from the beginning. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"I will give her a hand." An elder from the corpse refining branch said, and prepared to enter the battlefield.

However,at this time, a scream reverberated in the surroundings and a body fell from the sky.

"It’s old lady Zhang." Someone exclaimed.

"She was defeated so quickly?" Another asked with a surprised expression.

Although there was a big difference between an early stage tribulation transcending realm poison master and a peak-stage level nine combat puppet, it was still a little unacceptable that old lady Zhang was defeated so quickly.

"Her soul has collapsed." Kuang Song said with a solemn expression.

"Old lady Zhang is a poison master and has a strong soul. How could her soul collapse?" Wang Haiwen asked, not wanting to believe what he had heard.

"She may have realised that she was fighting a puppet and planned to steal control. As a result, she encountered powerful resistance and her soul could not withstand the pressure." Kuang Song explained but the others were not convinced.

"Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan are extraordinary but I don’t believe that either has soul power that is powerful enough to crush that of a tribulation transcending realm cultivator." Someone argued and several others nodded.

"Shen Xu is a fusion realm cultivator and Zhen Yuan is a mahayana realm cultivator. I don’t believe their soul power is so heaven-defying."

After defeating old lady Zhang, the puppet collected her storage equipment and returned to the ship.

"I didn’t expect the fight to end so quickly." Shen Xu said and sighed.

"The puppets have your father’s soul mark. Anyone who tries to contract them is asking for trouble." Zhen Yuan said.

While the opponents were momentarily at a loss, the Mayfly left the island and headed North.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the two were travelling as usual when Zhen Yuan suddenly frowned.

A moment later, he steered the ship and hastily left the area, just in time to avoid a spirit stones Canon.

"I will fire back." Shen Xu said, heading to the weapons panel.

Soon after, he positioned their ship’s cannons and fired at another ship that was quickly approaching them.

Barely three breaths later, the attack hit the enemy’s formation, breaking it into pieces and continuing towards the ship.

Seeing this, Kuang Song waved his hand and a shield flew out.

The shield was an immortal weapon.

Although Kuang Song couldn’t fully wield it due to his current cultivation, it was enough to block the remnant cannon attack.

"That shield is an immortal weapon." Zhen Yuan said, his eyes narrowed into slits.

He and Shen Xu rarely used shields.

However, Shen Xu would cross subsequent tribulations when he came out of seclusion.

Considering this, Zhen Yuan felt that having an immortal shield would add a layer of security.

"Blast them again." Zhen Yuan instructed and the double didn’t hesitate.

A moment later, another blast was heard and the the enemy ship hastily retreated.

"Ayuan, do you want to fight them?" Shen Xu asked, looking at Zhen Yuan.

From what he could see, the enemy had seventeen tribulation transcending realm cultivators.

Although most of the seventeen were early stage masters, the force was considerable especially because ghost and corpse refiners could summon hundreds of ghosts and corpse servants.

"We have five peak-stage level nine puppets and my law of heaven domain. However, I don’t think we can win without losing several layers of skin." Zhen Yuan said and Shen Xu nodded.

"Our ship is superior but using the cannon weapons consumes a lot of spirit stones. I think that our best option is to escape." He said.

"They also have some immortal weapons." Zhen Yuan said.

After that, the two ships exchanged fire but the Mayfly was superior so the enemy ship could neither get near nor damage it.

In the end, Zhen Yuan found a chance, activated the ship’s invisibility formation and slipped away while the enemy was defending against a cannon attack.

One week later, the ship successfully left the southern blue ocean and headed towards the Cursed Valley.

"I can’t believe they let us escape so easily." Shen Xu said with an amused face.

"They didn’t want to but the Mayfly is not an ordinary ship. It’s superior in every aspect." Zhen Yuan said.

"They probably won’t let this go. They will track us down and continue chasing us." The double said and sighed.

"It doesn’t matter. We will be fine as long as they don’t come in large groups." Zhen Yuan said but suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"It will be troublesome of they issue bounties." He said and Shen Xu chuckled before speaking.

"We just need to stay under the radar until we arrive in the Cursed Valley." He said and a trace of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

"Ayuan, I wonder what’s going on in the Cursed Valley. I have been curious for a while now." He said.
