Chapter 861 – Puppeteer
Chapter 861 – The Puppeteer
“Of course, just ……”
The Vice Commander smiled attentively, gauging Xu Chuniang’s demeanor.
“When you were dismissed from your post three months ago, you incurred the wrath of the Capitol Lord. His Excellency had said for you to go to the Capital Leader’s Mansion to ask for forgiveness as soon as you return!”
Go to the capital residence to ask for forgiveness?
Xu Chuniang raised an eyebrow, “I see, you can accompany me.”
The Capital Leader’s Mansion was located in the middle of the King’s City, and it was heard that the devilish aura in the King’s City was extremely dense, so it was a good time to go and see for yourself.
The Vice Commander did not expect that he would be assigned, and kneeled down in fear.
“As we approach the war period, the city gates cannot be left alone, and with my cultivation, I am not qualified to step into the King City.”
Of course, these reasons were not the point, the most important thing, was that he was unwilling to touch Lord Capital Leader’s mold.
After all, on that day, Lord Capital Leader was furious with this Lord Xu.
Even though the city prohibits killing, but each other as a devil cultivator, in the premise of not hurting people’s lives to get some torture method, but the matter of hand.
“Alright, then I’ll go myself.”
The Vice Commander let out a sigh of relief, afraid of offending this former Commander, and after hesitating for a while whispered a reminder.
“Three months have passed since the incident, Lord Capital Leader might have long forgotten about this little matter.
The great war is approaching, if you soften and admit your mistake, the lord should not make it more difficult.”
“You are a well-behaved one, it’s just a pity that I don’t have the word “soften” in my life yet.”
Accompanied by a light laughter, Xu Chuniang had already drifted away.
The Vice Commander stood up and looked back at her back, and without realizing it, his back was already drenched in cold sweat.
The sense of oppression that this former commander brought to him was much stronger than the current commander.
It was a pity that she had offended the Lord Commander, if she refused to soften to the Lord Commander, he was afraid that her life would be worse than death.
Xu Chuniang didn’t know that in the eyes of the Vice Commander, she was already half dead.
She walked towards the inner city, all the way unhurriedly towards penetrating deeper into the inner city, and finally in the deepest part, she saw the tall and majestic King City.
The entire king city, shrouded in a layer of formations.
Xu Chuniang actually failed to see through the city guard formation with a single glance.
This formation was thought to have been set up by the city’s Harmonized Stage Demon.
However, she did not come here for the formation today.
Xu Chuniang walked faithfully towards the city gates, and at the city gates, she was stopped by two late stage Void Refining Devil cultivators.
“Stop your steps! In the realm of King City, all idle people are not allowed to enter!”
Xu Chuniang swept a glance at the two guards, worthy of being a king city, even the guards watching the gate had late stage Void Refining cultivation.
If he remembered correctly, Lord Capital Leader was none other than the two men’s top boss, and his cultivation level was just slightly higher than theirs.
She did not get angry over their rudeness and slowly took out a silver badge and waved it in front of the two.
“I am not an idler, but have come here on the orders of the Lord Capitol Leader.”
The two guards glanced at each other, finally remembering that a few months ago, Lord Capitol Leader seemed to have mentioned such a thing.
He told the former commander of the DC district to come to the royal city to ask for forgiveness when he returned.
They motionlessly sized up Xu Chuniang, and at that time, when Lord Capital Leader had mentioned this person, his face had been so fierce that he had wanted to eat his flesh alive.
Right now this person, actually came to throw himself into the net.
Doesn’t she think that because the city is closed to war, Lord Capital can’t deal with her?
“Since I am under the orders of Lord Capital Leader, I can naturally enter the King’s City.”
The two men put away their weapons and made way.
Xu Chuniang didn’t miss the looks on the two men’s faces, but she didn’t care.
After stepping into the royal city on her own, she greedily inhaled a mouthful of the city’s demonic qi, her gaze blazing. This corner of the king’s city alone had such a dense demonic aura, so one could imagine how abundant the demonic aura in the king’s palace would be.
Cultivating here would be twice as effective with half the effort, and even if there was a lack of cultivation materials, the rate of advancement would not be slow.
The two guards, seeing her unproductive appearance, skimmed their mouths in disbelief and urged.
“What’s the point of dawdling? Lord Capital Leader is still waiting in the mansion for you to go over and ask for forgiveness, why don’t you go now?”
Xu Chuniang’s smile on her face did not diminish, and the wind of her eyes swept a diagonal glance at the two men.
The corner of her eye contained a smile, but it made the two of them feel like falling into an ice cave, their bodies completely chilled.
As if they were being stared at by some kind of dangerous beast, they were about to fall into the beast’s blood meal.
The two men were pale, shivering their lips, not daring to say half a word again.
It wasn’t until Xu Chuniang’s figure disappeared into the long aisle that the two were shocked.
“Fangcai, we were actually frightened by a mid-virtue refining cultivator?”
“With a fury in her eyes, she is not an ordinary demonic cultivator at all! Perhaps, only Lord Capital Leader can subdue her.”
The two exchanged a look and silently closed their mouths, but their moods couldn’t help but be apprehensive.
It was Xu Chuniang’s first time in the royal city, but the location of the Capital Leader’s Mansion was easy to find.
Turning down the long aisle, the imposing mansion in front of her was it.
At the entrance of the courtyard, two early stage Void Refining Devil Fixers were guarding the door.
Xu Chuniang’s eyes fell on the two men, and she let out a light “eek”.
It turned out that these two were not real people, but simulated puppets.
At first glance, they looked like real people, but upon closer inspection, it wasn’t hard to realize that they were puppets made from a combination of various materials.
Interesting, this Lord Capital Leader is actually an expert in refining puppets, which is not common in the demon world.
When the two puppets saw Xu Chuniang, they were actually able to communicate normally as normal cultivators.
“Who are you, and what are you doing here in my Capital Lord’s residence?”
“Didn’t Lord Capital Leader ask me to come, why, aren’t you welcome?”
Xu Chuniang sized up the two puppeteers, a sense of eccentricity rising in her heart.
These two puppets were too much like real cultivators.
The two puppeteers exchanged demonic thoughts and finally remembered something, the former commander of the DC District seemed to be a human female cultivator.
“I see, you’re Xu Chuniang, the one who didn’t put His Excellency in her eyes.”
“Hehe, we’ll soon have another companion, hehehe!”
Xu Chuniang finally realized something, and her eyes swept over the two puppets in front of her with uncertainty.
What was trapped in the bodies of these two puppets was actually the divine souls of cultivators.
No wonder these two puppeteers, without the clumsiness and sluggishness of ordinary puppets, revealed agility and subtlety in every move.
Without moving, she withdrew her gaze and stepped into the Capital Leader’s Mansion under the eyes of the two puppeteers, but in her heart, she pondered about Lord Capital Leader’s origin.
The devil world emphasized physical cultivation over arts, and only those devil cultivators with high cultivation and who did not die so easily had the leisure to delve into arts.
In the Demon Realm, no matter if it was Dan Fu Array Weapons, or any of the other hundred arts of cultivation, they all lagged far behind the Spirit Realm.
And the Lord Capital Leader, whose cultivation was only at the Refined Void stage, but who was proficient in puppetry, was very suspicious.
Unless …… this Lord Capital Leader, was not originally from the Demon Realm!
Rather, he was like her, accidentally strayed from the Spirit Realm.
Xu Chuniang narrowed her eyes, she couldn’t wait to meet this Lord Capital Leader.
