Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 456: Chapter 153: The ‘Final Battle’ with the Puppet Guild

“`

After Lin Jing left, the cultivator he had been chasing finally let out a sigh of relief.

However, he dared not rest for long, as he needed to report the incident to the Guild Leader.

Without looking back, the man hurried away.

…

…

When the man arrived at the Guild Leader’s dwelling place of the Puppet Guild.

Seeing how disheveled the man was, the Puppet Guild Leader’s eyebrows immediately furrowed, and he asked:

“What happened, weren’t you supposed to ambush Lin Jing?”

“How did you end up in such a mess?”

Not daring to conceal anything, the man quickly said:

“Guild Leader, we miscalculated…”

“That Lin Jing, he also knows Puppetry Technique. When we sent over our puppets to control him, he took control of them with Puppetry Technique and we lost contact.”

“Just as dawn broke, he stormed out of the cave and attacked several of us.”

“Besides, Lin Jing is a Body Refinement Cultivator, and we, four people’s puppets, were seized by him and stood no chance at all.”

“The three of them, all died at the hands of Lin Jing, and only I was lucky enough to escape.”

“Body Refinement Cultivator…”

Hearing the cultivator’s words, the Puppet Guild Leader’s frown deepened and he asked the man:

“Are you saying he also practices Puppetry Technique?”

The cultivator replied:

“Yes, Guild Leader…”

“Last night, the four of us had coordinated our efforts to control puppets and go to his cave entrance, aiming to entangle him.”

“But not long after I sent my puppet over, it was controlled by someone else. It could not move and soon afterward, it was completely out of my control.”

“Originally, I planned to inform you as soon as dawn broke, but early the next morning, Lin Jing came out of the cave and directly found the third brother’s cave and killed him.”

“After killing the third brother, the few of us knew something was wrong and immediately tried to escape, but he was too powerful, and we were not his match. He quickly caught up with us…”

“In the end, only I managed to escape.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn

After hearing this, the Puppet Guild Leader pondered for a while and then asked:

“Do you know how he learned this Puppetry Technique?”

The man shook his head and said:

“I don’t know…”

“However, although he managed to control our puppets with Puppetry Technique, I could sense that his use of it was somewhat unskilled.”

“His time practicing Puppetry Technique couldn’t have been long.”

The Puppet Guild Leader nodded lightly and said:

“I see…”

The words of the Puppet Guild Leader left the cultivator somewhat puzzled, so he inquired:

“Guild Leader, you understand?”

The Puppet Guild Leader nodded and added:

“If there are no surprises, it should be that some of our own people had fallen into his hands before this, and that’s how he acquired the Puppetry Technique.”

“After all, we were in the light before while he was in the dark; it’s very easy to launch a sneak attack on someone within the Guild.”

Upon hearing this, the man suddenly realized and said:

“What the Guild Leader says makes sense…”

“So, what should we do next to deal with this person?”

After hearing this, the Puppet Guild Leader looked at the man and asked again:

“Aside from being a Body Refinement Cultivator, does that person have any other hidden strengths?”

The cultivator who had escaped thought for a moment and responded:

“Because we lost the puppets, we didn’t confront him directly while avoiding his pursuit.”

“However, that man has the cultivation of a Golden Core at the ninth level, and combined with the incredible speed that a Body Refinement Cultivator can unleash, we were quickly caught up to.”

“If I must say, it’s that his speed is very fast, and his Divine Sense, able to control the four of us’ puppets, must also be exceptional…”

After listening, the Puppet Guild Leader nodded and said:

“Alright…”

“I understand.”

“Next, I will take action personally.”

Upon hearing this, the man’s eyes lit up as he said:

“Yes, Guild Leader.”

When the Guild Leader takes action, it is always extraordinary.

Previously, he had witnessed the Guild Leader’s puppet, which was comparable to a Body Refinement Cultivator at the Golden Core ninth level.

Moreover, the Puppetry Technique was originally transmitted by the Guild Leader himself. As long as he wishes, he can take control of anyone’s puppet.

Even if Lin Jing practices Puppetry Technique,

it would be useless in front of the Guild Leader’s puppet.

With the Guild Leader’s intervention, success is almost certain.

Then, the Puppet Guild Leader took out a small Storage Bag from his own Storage Bag and handed it to the cultivator, saying:

“Here are some Spirit Stones as a reward for your actions this time.”

The man accepted the Spirit Stones and said:

“Thank you, Guild Leader.”

Then the Puppet Guild Leader waved his hand and said:

“Alright, you may go now.”

However, the man spoke again:

“Guild Leader, this incident was seen by many, and I expect there will be rumors detrimental to our Puppet Guild.”

Upon hearing this, the Guild Leader’s brow creased slightly, and he nodded and stated:

“Hmm, I am aware…”

“Just wait…”

“In a few days, I’ll make all these rumors disappear…”

……

After leaving, Lin Jing returned directly to his previous cave dwelling.

However, not long after Lin Jing returned, Xu Ye came looking for him.

Upon seeing Lin Jing, Xu Ye said:

“I saw you chasing down a cultivator from the Puppet Guild, what on earth is going on?”

“Don’t tell me you’ve been exposed?”

Lin Jing nodded and said:

“`

“Hmm, yes…”

“Yesterday, I didn’t hide my identity and took a stroll on the Blood Beach, and they followed me.”

Xu Ye was startled and quickly asked:

“Lin Daoyou, why did you do that?”

Lin Jing looked up into the distance, fell silent for a moment, and then said:

“Consider it an act of revenge for friends. They killed two of my acquaintances in their search for me.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Ye’s eyebrows immediately furrowed:

“It’s like that…”

“Now that you’ve killed people from the Puppet Guild, they definitely won’t let you off.”

“What are your plans now? Are you going to hide again, or are you going to fight them head-on?”

“Do you need my help?”

Lin Jing then turned his head, looked towards Xu Ye, and said:

“Speaking of which, there really is something I need your help with, Xu Daoyou.”

Xu Ye hurriedly said:

“What is it? Please tell me, Lin Daoyou.”

Lin Jing then said:

“I need you to expose the location of my cave to them.”

Lin Jing’s words startled Xu Ye:

“Lin Daoyou, what do you mean by this?”

“If you expose the location of your cave, you’ll truly be in danger. I know the Puppet Guild Leader; he will definitely take the opportunity to retaliate against you at night.”

Lin Jing said:

“No worries…”

“I’ve already found a way to deal with him. I’m not afraid of him coming; I’m afraid he won’t come.”

Xu Ye looked at Lin Jing with a puzzled expression and said:

“Lin Daoyou, are you that confident?”

Lin Jing replied:

“Hmm…”

Seeing Lin Jing’s resolute attitude, Xu Ye nodded and then said:

“Alright…”

“Since Lin Daoyou says so, then I will do as you ask and expose the location of this cave.”

Lin Jing nodded and said:

“In that case, I’ll trouble you, Xu Daoyou…”

…

…

In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.

During these few days, the entire Blood Beach was abuzz with the incident involving Lin Jing.

However, Lin Jing had yet to make an appearance.

Aside from Lin Jing, even the people from the Puppet Guild had been keeping a low profile for these two days.

Lin Jing was originally waiting for the Puppet Guild Leader to bring his men, but there had been no movement for the past two days.

Even the location of Lin Jing’s cave had been secretly leaked to the Puppet Guild by Xu Ye.

But even so, the Puppet Guild Leader had still made no move.

Lin Jing had planned that if the Puppet Guild Leader really came with people to block him during the day, he would hide in the System Space to avoid them.

But now, to his surprise, no one came by even at night.

Just as Lin Jing was growing impatient and planned to take another walk near the Blood Beach, the Puppet Guild finally took action.

Under Lin Jing’s Divine Sense surveillance, the Puppet Guild had set up an encirclement around the mountain where Lin Jing was located.

This time, the Puppet Guild directly deployed eighteen cultivators around Lin Jing’s mountain.

Moreover, they had set up a large Formation around the mountain Lin Jing was on.

The Puppet Guild’s actions were extremely covert; if not for Lin Jing’s powerful Divine Sense, he likely wouldn’t have discovered any of this.

All of this was happening quietly…

Of course, this quietness was what the Puppet Guild members believed to be the case.

In fact, everything they did was under Lin Jing’s surveillance.

This incident gave Lin Jing a new understanding of the Puppet Guild Leader.

With so many subordinates, he was still so cautious.

He even wanted to quietly encircle him.

While they were busy, Lin Jing naturally couldn’t just sit idly by; he had already modified the cave.

It was interconnected in every direction.

Besides that, Lin Jing placed a large black stone at intervals within the cave.

His purpose was naturally to disrupt their operations.

Though Lin Jing was inside the cave and didn’t go out, his Divine Sense had long probed out to observe their actions, even carefully watching the Formation they had set up.

Just to ensure there were no oversights.

You must know, in the Devouring Spirit Blood Realm, Spirit Stones are incredibly precious.

And setting up a Formation requires a large number of Spirit Stones, so it was clear that the Puppet Guild Leader had really spared no expense to deal with him.

And so…

Until this day, as night fell, the Puppet Guild’s people were all prepared.

Including the Puppet Guild Leader, eighteen Puppet Cultivators had encircled Lin Jing.

The Puppet Guild had only a little over forty members, so these eighteen accounted for almost half of their number.

Although they had strength in numbers, Lin Jing was not afraid.

As long as the Puppet Guild Leader made a move, that would be sufficient.

If it really came to a fight, Lin Jing would let them know what it meant to ‘fight fire with fire.’

Soon, the sky darkened.

At this time, the blood corpses were about to emerge.

Lin Jing took advantage of this moment to probe out with his Divine Sense once more, confirming the positions of the Puppet Guild’s cultivators surrounding him, as well as the Puppet Guild Leader’s location.

Once sure there were no errors, Lin Jing withdrew his Divine Sense.

Next…

He just needed to wait for the blood corpses to appear, and then Lin Jing could start his move…
