The puppet stood frozen in place, unaware of the impending danger.
Axi raised her long sword and slashed down at the puppet!
Clang!
The puppet's head rolled to the ground.
As if just realizing what happened, the puppet went into a frenzy and lunged at Axi.
Axi was alone, and facing dozens of puppets was an arduous task.
Si Xin Xin stood anxiously, picked up her dagger, and swung it fiercely at the puppets.
Creak—
A door was pushed open at that moment.
Si Jian Ye opened the door and stood silently in the room.
"Daddy!"
Si Xin Xin seemed to notice something unusual, her bright eyes sparkling like stars, and she ran towards him.
The rioting puppets in the courtyard seemed to sense something and looked at Si Jian Ye in unison, cackling, "Heh heh heh!"
The puppets bowed respectfully, looking at Si Jian Ye with utmost deference.
Seeing the courtyard filled with puppets, Si Jian Ye's brow furrowed unconsciously, and a faint light flickered in his eyes: "How did puppets appear here?"
Si Xin Xin instinctively extended her hand and pointed to the ground: "Daddy, these puppets crawled out from the ground."
"Crawled out from the ground?" Si Jian Ye subconsciously lowered his gaze to the ground.
A large pit had clearly appeared on the ground.
The puppets were crawling, submitting.
The appearance of puppets in the academy was astonishing enough, let alone these puppets crawling out of the ground.
Si Xin Xin's small, palm-sized face was tightly furrowed, and a hint of doubt surfaced in her eyes: "That's right, these puppets all crawled out from underground. It's really strange, can these things grow from the ground?"
Axi sheathed her long sword and looked at Si Jian Ye: "King of the Underworld, what should we do with these puppets? If we let them leave, they might harm others in the academy."
Facing the question, Si Jian Ye did not rush to speak but raised his hand towards the puppets.
The puppets also stirred at that moment.
They all placed their hands on their necks and twisted...
The scene before them stunned Axi.
The King of the Underworld had dealt with these wicked puppets effortlessly, with no exertion.
Si Xin Xin raised her tender face, her eyes filled with admiration: "Daddy, you are so amazing. You didn't even have to lift a finger, and these puppets took their own lives."
In just a moment, the courtyard was filled with the corpses of puppets.
The courtyard, once filled with the fragrance of flowers, was now filled with the stench of the puppets.
Si Jian Ye frowned slightly, looking at the messy scene of puppets with a hint of disgust: "Axi, dispose of these corpses on the ground."
Upon receiving the order, Axi did not dare to delay and quickly got to work.
"Ah! Puppets!"
"Quick, someone! Why are there puppets in the academy?"
Suddenly, a jumble of voices came from outside the courtyard.
Si Xin Xin instinctively peeked her head outside the courtyard, her voice filled with strong curiosity: "It's so noisy outside, what seems to be happening? Daddy, I'll go and see."
With a heart full of questions, she left the courtyard.
Si Jian Ye pondered for a moment, then also stepped forward, following her.
Outside the courtyard, cultivators were struggling to fend off the puppets.
A large number of puppets had appeared in the academy from somewhere, but fortunately, there were many cultivators within the academy who could fight them together.
"Daddy, logically speaking, these puppets shouldn't have had the chance to enter the academy. It seems they all crawled out from underground."
Si Xin Xin's small face was filled with doubt, her gaze constantly scanning her surroundings, clearly assessing the situation.
Several large pits had clearly appeared on the ground.
The uneven ground was telling everyone that these puppets had crawled out from underground.
Si Jian Ye's eyes darkened slightly, a chill appearing on his handsome face: "Indeed, these puppets all crawled out from underground. This is the work of Bu Mie."
Besides that man, no one else would do such a thing.
Burying the puppets underground and waiting for the opportune moment for them to appear.
Si Xin Xin couldn't help but snort, her childish voice slightly displeased: "Daddy, Bu Mie is really annoying! Seeing so many puppets jumping around in front of me, I find it bothersome."
Axi also finished cleaning the messy courtyard and quickly came to their side, saying softly: "King of the Underworld, it's likely that not only the Strongest Academy has been attacked by puppets. The situation in other academies, or other places, is probably not much better."
Bu Mie had gone to such great lengths, he wouldn't just target the Strongest Academy.
Si Jian Ye nodded gently, indicating his approval: "You are right. Now that Bu Mie has emerged from the Ice Pool, how could he continue to sit idly by? His ambition has been sealed for tens of thousands of years in the Ice Pool."
Bu Mie's greatest desire was to escape the Ice Pool.
The Ice Pool could trap him for a while, but not for a lifetime.
Now that the Ice Pool was shattered and he had left the water, he was naturally eager to implement his plan and rule the Dragon Domain.
Axi frowned unconsciously: "King of the Underworld, these puppets alone are difficult to deal with, enough to give us a headache, let alone Bu Mie."
The man's chiseled face was filled with cold light.
He casually crossed his arms and watched the cultivators fighting the puppets, opening his mouth slowly: "There will be others who want to deal with Bu Mie more than us. He will become the public enemy of the Dragon Domain, so we are not in a hurry."
"Ah!"
"Quick, someone save us!"
The cultivators in the academy were shouting.
Puppets appeared out of nowhere, and their numbers were not small.
Axi volunteered: "King of the Underworld, I'll go help them deal with these puppets."
Si Xin Xin raised her tender face and looked at Si Jian Ye: "Daddy, can't you make these puppets commit suicide? Why don't you use that move again!"
Seeing her excited expression, a hint of helplessness flashed in Si Jian Ye's deep pupils. He generously reached out and gently ruffled her hair: "Xin Xin, although I can control puppets, it consumes a lot of mental energy. At most, it's small-scale control."
These puppets were most closely related to Bu Mie.
He shared the same blood and aura as Bu Mie, which was why he could confuse these puppets.
The puppets had difficulty distinguishing him from Bu Mie.
Not far from the academy.
A large group of people was staggering along.
Pu Yin led the group, looking around: "We are very close to the Strongest Academy now. The cultivators are quite injured. Why don't we rest at my Strongest Academy for a while to recuperate?"
The number of puppets in the jungle was too large. The disciples of various academies had to join forces to carve out a bloody path.
The disciples were wounded and had suffered many injuries.
Going to the Strongest Academy to recuperate was the best option.
Du Chang glanced at the disciples behind him, a hint of solemnity appearing on his handsome face: "Thank you then."
