Chapter 165 Marionette

"Boss, Sirius...Sirius Mercenary Group..." The men of the Devil Mercenary Group were stunned and pointed in one direction.

The bearded man rolled his eyes. Is it interesting to make such an outdated joke with me? The bearded man snorted coldly: "Are there still a hundred thousand ferocious beasts?"

The members nodded vigorously. The boss is worthy of being the boss. You don’t need to look to know that there are still 100,000 ferocious beasts!

The bearded man originally thought that the monks under him were joking, but he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere and subconsciously turned around. At this sight, his scalp was about to explode.

The Sirius mercenary group flew in front, and behind them, endless ferocious beasts rumbled.

"Fuck..." The bearded man even forgot to run when he saw this shocking scene.

Sirius and others also discovered the Devil Mercenary Group and immediately landed on the ground: "Big Beard, I, Sirius, am back!"

Big Beard came back to his senses. He didn't expect that Sirius and others could come out of the dark forest unscathed. Big Beard said bitterly: "So what if I come back? I stabbed the entire dark forest, so I'm not going to die."

Big Beard thought that Sirius had provoked so many ferocious beasts and was going to die with his devil mercenary group, so he was a little angry.

Sirius understood that the bearded man had misunderstood, and sneered, and cupped his hands behind him: "Brother Qi Dao, I have some personal matters to deal with here, why don't you leave first?"

Zhang Ye stood on the pangolin's head and said in a calm voice: "It's okay, I'll wait for you."

As soon as Zhang Ye's voice fell, hundreds of thousands of ferocious beasts suddenly stopped in their tracks, enforcing orders and prohibitions even more than the human army.

The devil mercenary group discovered Zhang Ye and were stunned. Damn it, there was someone riding a ferocious beast? And this person seems to be able to command all ferocious beasts? Can anyone tell me what the fuck is going on!

Sirius felt refreshed when he saw the appearance of the Devil Mercenary Group. He was so good at pretending that he immediately pulled out his sword and shouted loudly: "Devil Mercenary Group, today either you die or I die!"

"If you have something to say, let's talk it over. It's better for us to resolve our enemies than to end them!" The bearded man said with a flattering look. In fact, when it comes to fighting with swords and guns, the Devil Mercenary Group and the Sirius Mercenary Group are equally powerful, and it's hard to say whether they will win or lose. But when they see that the Sirius Mercenary Group has a hundred thousand ferocious beasts as their backing, they don't dare to fight at all.

"Well, you are a big-headed ghost!" The Sirius Mercenary Group and the Devil Mercenary Group have a deep feud and are fighting to the death. Naturally, Sirius is not willing to let go of this opportunity.

The two parties immediately engaged in battle. The Devil Mercenary Group was already frightened and was no match for the high-spirited Sirius Mercenary Group, and was defeated in a short time.

Big Beard was injured, and Sirius put a knife on his neck. He said tremblingly: "You can't kill me."

"You are not my son, why can't I kill you?" If it weren't for his good luck to meet Zhang Ye this time, Sirius would have been buried in the belly of the beast, and naturally he would not give up.

"Because my uncle is the elder of the Tiandao Palace, a monk who transforms into gods!" The bearded man reported the name of the Tiandao Palace, and with a little confidence, he took out a jade slip, "As long as I crush it, my uncle will Come and save me."

Sirius was a little hesitant. He didn't expect Big Beard to have a backstage like Tiandao Palace? It doesn't matter whether he kills or not. When he was hesitating, a sky-swallowing beast suddenly emerged from the ground, chewed up the bearded man and swallowed it.

Big Beard had previously designed to harm the Sky-Swallowing Beast's cub, and now it was being hunted and killed by the Sky-Swallowing Beast. This was considered a natural cycle. But Sirius's brows were furrowed, and his beard was backed by Tiandao Palace. Will it lead to revenge?

However, after waiting for a while, no monks from Tiandao Palace came to kill him. Tianlang breathed a sigh of relief and thought that the bearded man was just being alarmist.

Not long after, Zhang Ye said goodbye to the pangolin and returned to Guimen Pass with the Sirius group.

On the way, Xiao Tao kept communicating with Zhang Ye through her spiritual thoughts, and suddenly asked: "Zhang Ye, how did you subdue the 100,000 mountain beasts?"

"Personal charm." Zhang Ye said coldly.

Xiao Tao smiled brightly, and Zhang Ye also smiled. He thought this girl was good at everything, but she was mute, which was a pity.

"By the way, Xiaotao, your brother said that you couldn't speak because you accidentally ate a poisonous fruit. Can you describe what that fruit looks like?" In the past six years, Tuanzi has studied the elixir scriptures of the Changsheng Sect thoroughly. Zhang Ye is so I asked to see if I could find a way to refine a pill to cure Xiaotao's mute disease, and it was not a waste of acquaintance.

Xiao Tao's smile suddenly disappeared, and her expression became a little serious. She looked at Sirius who was leading the way, and then said with her spiritual thoughts: "Actually, I am not mute after eating poisonous fruit, but I was punished by God."

Divine punishment? Generally speaking, only those who commit heinous crimes that are so harmful to nature will attract divine punishment, and Xiao Tao will never do that.

"Why are you being punished by God?" Zhang Ye asked curiously.

Xiao Tao glanced at Zhang Ye. She wanted to be honest with her idol, but she still shook her head: "You can't say it. If you say it, you will be punished by God."

This made Zhang Ye even more curious. He would be punished by God if he said anything. It didn't make sense.

Under Zhang Ye's repeated questioning, Xiao Tao had no choice but to say: "Then I can only give you a brief summary."

"Seven or eight years ago, the Sirius mercenary group took a job, not in Shiwanda Mountain, but in the northern jungle to capture a kind of lightning marten that was found in the area."

Zhang Ye heard this and asked: "Seven or eight years ago, in the northern jungle? Wasn't that the time when the Eastern Region and the Northern Region were at war?"

Xiao Tao nodded: "But the place where we captured the lightning ferret belongs to the rear area of ​​the war zone, and there is no danger."

"Let's get back to the point. The lightning marten is very alert and fast, so it's hard to catch. So our mercenary group smeared a kind of animal blood to conceal their breath and hid under thick fallen leaves, waiting for the lightning marten to take the bait."

"I hid under the leaves for a day, but the lightning marten didn't come, but a group of Northern Territory monks came." Xiao Tao looked a little scared.

Zhang Ye asked suspiciously, "What does this have to do with you being punished by heaven?"

Xiao Tao said with lingering fear, "Because I overheard their conversation, and later, I found that I was punished by heaven and couldn't speak."

Monks can sense the principles of heaven and earth, so Xiao Tao can clearly sense that she can't speak because of the punishment of heaven.

What kind of words will be punished by heaven if they are overheard? Moreover, what are the monks of the Northern Territory Army doing in the rear of the Eastern Territory Army?

Wait! Zhang Ye suddenly remembered that Murong Hongzhuang had said before that a certain ancestor of the Tiandao Palace pretended to be a member of the Northern Territory Army to attack the Artisan Camp. Could it be that the Northern Territory Army that Xiao Tao met was the team of the Tiandao Palace?

"Xiao Tao, is that team disguised as the monks of Tiandao Palace?" Zhang Ye suddenly asked.

Xiao Tao's mind trembled: "How do you know?"

Zhang Ye did not answer immediately, but tried to calm himself down, and then said: "I guess you overheard their secrets and caused the heavenly punishment. This secret is very important to me. I hope you can tell me the truth."

Seeing Xiao Tao's tangled face, Zhang Ye said firmly: "I am not afraid of heavenly punishment."

Hearing Zhang Ye say this, Xiao Tao couldn't go against his wishes again. After a moment of silence, she told the story.

At that time, Xiao Tao hid under the leaves and smeared her body with some kind of animal blood to hide her breath, so the group of monks of Tiandao Palace did not find her.

A cultivator asked the leader, the Tribulation Patriarch: "Nineth Ancestor, if we send this batch of craftsmen to the underworld, can our Tiandao Palace really open the door to the upper world?"

"Shut up!" The Tribulation Patriarch looked around and scolded, "How do you know? From now on, you are not allowed to mention it to anyone!"

...

Xiao Tao restored the scene at that time with her divine mind. The words were few, but it set off a storm in Zhang Ye's heart.

The Tiandao Palace slaughtered the craftsmen in the East Region. There was indeed a conspiracy. There are two key points worth noting. The first key point is that they want to send the craftsmen to the underworld. It is said that people naturally go to the underworld after death, so the Tiandao Palace slaughtered the craftsmen camp. The second key point explains the motive of the Tiandao Palace to do this, which is to open the door to the upper world.

Zhang Ye suddenly thought of what Zhao Ganggang of the Tiangong clan said-some people will do anything if they stay in the cage for a long time.

Zhang Ye was furious. In order to open the gate to the upper world, the Tiandao Palace killed the craftsmen of the East Region. What a bullshit leader of the righteous sect, he was a complete scum of the cultivation world! Zhang Ye was about to curse a few words, but suddenly, he felt something inexplicably in his heart. Heavenly punishment? Zhang Ye spoke, but it was already silent. This made Zhang Ye even more furious. The damn Tiandao Palace dared to do such a conscienceless thing and didn't let people say anything? However, no matter how powerful the Tiandao Palace is, it is just a cultivation sect and it is impossible to affect the rules of heaven. Therefore, the Tiandao Palace is just a puppet, and the hand that controls it must come from a higher level. Zhang Ye looked up at the sky. Could it be that there is really a fairyland? ... After returning to the Ghost Gate, Zhang Ye said goodbye to the Tianlang Mercenary Group. He couldn't wait to return to Tiandao City and start his revenge plan against the Tiandao Palace. In the past, he was no less likely to fight against the Tiandao Palace than a gnat trying to shake a tree, but after six years of settling in the Ten Thousand Mountains, Zhang Ye has a certain confidence. In addition to the growth of forging technology, he also controls all the fierce beasts in the Ten Thousand Mountains!

The Tiandao Palace is located on the main peak of the Three Hundred Tiandao Peaks, where the spiritual energy is the most abundant. An old man in a Taoist robe came out of the cave where he was in seclusion, counted with his fingers, and murmured: "I was wondering why I was uneasy. It turned out that my nephew was calling me. I owed his father a favor back then. Well, let's go and see."

The old man flicked his sleeves and disappeared from the Tiandao Palace.

Zhang Ye flew all the way, thinking about how to take revenge on the Tiandao Palace. When he came to his senses, he found that Xiao Tao had helped him so much, but he didn't give her any thank-you gifts.

Zhang Ye's principle of life is not to owe favors to others. At this moment, he was not too far from the Ghost Gate. Zhang Ye carried two magic weapons and turned around to fly back.

…

At the gate of hell, in a tavern, some members of the Tianlang Mercenary Group got drunk and boasted that they had walked through the dark forest and were escorted by 100,000 ferocious beasts.

Other monks thought he was bragging, and the member angrily said, "Believe it or not, we Tianlang Mercenaries have also destroyed the Devil Mercenary Group!"

Tianlang stopped him immediately, and the member sobered up halfway, remembered Tianlang's instructions, and apologized repeatedly.

Other monks didn't take it seriously, as mercenaries didn't have any other hobbies but to brag, so they just laughed it off.

But at this moment, an old Taoist priest with a thin face asked seriously, "So, did you kill the bearded man?"
