Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master - Chapter 1500

Chapter 1500: Chapter 616: The Battle for the Treasure Land

Sun Lingtong did not answer immediately.

He squinted his eyes, letting his gaze circle around the silver mask of Mr. Ying Zhang, then fell back to the Jade Scroll Name List in the hand of the gray-robed cultivator.

In his mind emerged intelligence about the Seven Evils Blade Demon.

This Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator, with the Seven Evils infused into his blade, had once massacred three cultivation markets in the Northern Land consecutively. Despite being tormented by the Cloud Prison Evil Chain Lock for years, he remained ferocious, with an indomitable blade intent.

This Demon Soul did not hold much importance for Ning Zhuo.

Sun Lingtong was very clear that what Ning Zhuo needed was a Demon Soul capable of instantly enhancing the latter’s combat power.

Thanks to previous interactions, Sun Lingtong was in a strong position in negotiations with the gray-robed cultivator, indirectly granting him bargaining power with Mr. Ying Zhang.

Sun Lingtong waved his hand: “The Blade Demon is good, but I prefer to do a good turn and leave it for Mr. Ying Zhang. I am quite interested in a recently discovered feng shui treasure land on Flowing Cloud Peak.”

Mr. Ying Zhang chuckled: “You’re quite straightforward, so I mustn’t be stingy either.”

He retrieved a gray-white jade slip from his sleeve and handed it directly to Sun Lingtong.

“The intelligence on the Sun Raising Yang Locking Cloud Altar is all here.”

Sun Lingtong accepted the jade slip with a smile.

He hadn’t expected to gain such valuable intelligence for free.

However, when his Divine Sense penetrated the jade slip for a casual scan, his smile quickly disappeared.

“I didn’t expect there to be such hidden information.”

“It’s better to let Little Zhuo handle this…”

Mr. Ying Zhang then engaged in a transaction with the gray-robed cultivator, successfully acquiring the Blade Demon’s residual soul, and before leaving, he looked toward Sun Lingtong, indicating that he could always seek him out in the Black Market for more intelligence in the future.

After Mr. Ying Zhang departed, the gray-robed cultivator inquired whether Sun Lingtong had made up his mind?

Sun Lingtong’s mind flashed over names.

Wuyan Scholar, Lady Blood Lamp, Mourning Child, Split Palace Wanderer, Three Thoughts Daoist, Red Vein Butcher, Thick Soul Slave…

“Recently, various rumors have emerged suggesting that the Flowing Gold Guest has obtained substantial support from numerous forces on Flowing Cloud Peak. This is certainly not baseless!”

“Little Zhuo still needs to quickly enhance his combat strength.”

Ning Zhuo received the Empty Valley Sound Green Mechanism Tube inheritance, and also had the Phoenix Cry at Dawn piano score gifted by Dong Nishang, with the Mechanical Bird Group having deep links to sound rhythm deployment.

But he is ultimately not one who has immersed himself for many years. Methods like accurate tuning, refined compositions, and rhythmic adjustments don’t afford him the time to learn slowly.

In the second battle against the Flowing Gold Guest, at the sound of the Alarm Whistle, the Mechanical Bird Group was disrupted and thrown into chaos.

“However, if I can gain enough experience from the Demon Souls, it’s bound to compensate for this disadvantage, enabling the proper execution of the Mechanical Bird Group’s attrition tactics.” This was Ning Zhuo’s original words to Sun Lingtong.

“Other Demon Souls could also suit Little Zhuo, but this one best enhances his combat strength! The most important is that we have influence in White Paper Immortal City, ensuring future access to Demon Souls.”

With this in mind, Sun Lingtong made his decision and said to the gray-robed cultivator: “Let’s choose the Split Palace Wanderer.”

Soon after, Sun Lingtong returned to the cave mansion with his gains and smoothly handed them over to Ning Zhuo.

Sun Lingtong reminded him that the matter of the Sun Raising Yang Locking Cloud Altar seemed quite complex.

Ning Zhuo then inspected the intelligence jade scroll.

“Territorial Expansion Alliance?” Ning Zhuo furrowed his brows slightly.

It turns out the Sun Raising Yang Locking Cloud Altar was not a naturally exposed ownerless treasure but rather crafted after years of secretive operations by the Territorial Expansion Alliance.

The alliance had laid three layers of arrangements.

The first was the Cloud Ring Sun Covering Array, using the seasonal ebb and flow of Cloud Qi from Cloud Ferry as a curtain, keeping sunlight from exhibiting an external appearance at the cave entrance.

The second was the Locking Yang Well. Its walls bore three Stabilizing Vein Copper Wedges, nailed respectively into nodes of Sunlight, Fire Vein, and Cloud Root principles. Properly rotating the wedges could harness sunlight, Earth Fire, and Cloud Qi, enabling an infinite cycle among them within the well.

The third was the Sun Raising Cloud Altar. Its surface embraced the sun, its waist absorbed clouds, and its base pressed fire. The altar’s true value lay not in its rich Spiritual Energy but in allowing cultivators to observe the profound workings of “sunlight entering clouds, fire vein giving birth to yang, cloud qi supporting the sun.”

“In this view, it seems much more suited for Chun Yangzi’s Pure Yang Pill Scripture.” Upon seeing this, Ning Zhuo felt even more troubled.

The subsequent content added another concern.

“Is the background of the Territorial Expansion Alliance deep? Suspected to be set up intentionally on Flowing Cloud Peak by a certain main peak?”

Ning Zhuo slowly set aside the jade slip, his gaze as serene as a deep well.

On the surface, the Territorial Expansion Alliance appeared as an Earth Element Cultivator society, specializing in geomancy earth veins, mountain expansion, and spirit vein extension, its slogan grandiose: The earth ends, but ambition is boundless.

“Over a decade ago, the alliance secretly began laying plans and managing the feng shui treasure land of the Sun Raising Yang Locking Cloud Altar.”

“Could such craftsmanship and planning be achieved by a group of loose cultivators?”

“This intelligence holds much weight.”

Ning Zhuo said this, looking at Sun Lingtong: “Boss, which main peak do you think might be supporting them from behind?”

Sun Lingtong sipped some tea: “Heavy Array Peak?”

Ning Zhuo’s expression grew heavy, letting out a sigh.

“It does seem likely.” He said, considering that Heavy Array Peak controls the Mountain Protection Array and is most sensitive to changes in Flowing Cloud Peak’s earth veins. If the Territorial Expansion Alliance could continuously arrange earth veins on Flowing Cloud Peak, it would almost be impossible without the tacit approval and support of Heavy Array Peak.”

“Besides Heavy Array Peak, the Array Hall is also possible, perhaps even the Artifact Refining Hall needs the Fire Vein.”

Ning Zhuo said this and took out another jade slip, tossing it to Sun Lingtong.

This was concerning the intelligence about Tan Zhu.

Since the successful alliance formation at Nanming Village, Ning Zhuo had actively gathered information about members involved, with a specific focus on Tan Zhu.

Poison Annihilation Wanderer, Nascent Soul Level Demon Cultivator, nearing the end of his lifespan, a loner, without offspring, his cultivation technique leaving deep-seated troubles… all of this was ascertainable.
