Chapter 371: Delaying

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Although Ji Jing had only recently learned of the doll’s true identity, she was not too surprised.

She had once heard from her master that the most capable Puppet Masters could create puppets that were as tall as a person. From their body, hair, skin, movements, and speech, they were infinitely close to a person.

If by chance, a puppet could obtain a soul, then even an ordinary Daoist would find it difficult to distinguish it from a real person.

In fact, there was another use for the human-like puppets that the top puppeteers had spent more than ten years making…

Some people would use forbidden techniques to transfer their souls into those puppets before they died, allowing the puppets to become their new bodies to obtain some kind of longevity.

Unfortunately, the Heavenly Dao had always been mutually reinforcing and countering. Just like how it was difficult for Taoist priests to predict their own future and fate, the puppets of Puppet Masters could not be used by themselves. Therefore, the top Puppet Masters had always been short-lived in the long river of history, and the families of Puppet Masters were gradually disappearing.

When the doll admitted that it was actually a puppet, Ji Jing suddenly realized something.

So it was a puppet. This explained why the doll could have such a unique intelligence and ability.

“Heh. Sun Ya, do you believe such words?” Sun Luo sneered.” I used to think that her dolls were just toys. She kept lying to me! She clearly had such a useful thing in her hands, but she refused to reveal it at all! Do you know how much money she earned from this behind my back?

She’s ab * tch!”

“Shut up!” Sun Ya and the doll cursed in unison.

“I don’t have the obligation to tell you what I don’t want to say! The money she earns is hers, what does it have to do with you?” Sun Ya cursed.

The doll did not make a sound, but the ghost energy around it suddenly spread out and pressed down on Sun Luo like an avalanche.

“Ugh!” Sun Luo’s vision suddenly turned black. He felt as if he had fallen into a dark and deep sea. The oppression, suffocation, and pain seemed to be emitted from the depths of his bone marrow.

Sun Ya also saw Sun Luo’s face suddenly contort. She had a hunch that the doll seemed to have done something, but she couldn’t see the dense ghost energy.

However, in the next second, Sun Ya’s heart suddenly ached.

“Stop!” ” Sun Ya!” Ji Jing shouted in a panic.” Sun Ya’s lifeblood is connected to his!”

She guessed what Sun Luo was going to do! By connecting his life to Sun Ya, he would wait for the so-called ancestor to descend and be unable to harm him in the slightest. Then, he would use the confinement array on the ring to restrict the ancestor’s soul. Then, the ancestor’s soul would become his most convenient tool!

“Little Master! Are you alright?” Ji Jing shouted, and the doll suddenly woke up and immediately retracted its ghost energy.

“I, I’m fine…” Sun Ya panted, and her back was covered in sweat. It was as if she had suddenly walked on the edge of life and death.

“I’m sorry! I forgot.” The doll’s expression was filled with regret and heartache.

Sun Ya shook her head. She understood that she and the doll were so angry that their blood was about to boil.

“Cough, cough, cough…” The ghost energy of the puppet doll was withdrawn, and Sun Luo’s body relaxed as he coughed violently.

However, even the suffocating feeling just now did not threaten him.

He looked at the doll and Sun Ya and suddenly laughed. See? If you dare to attack me, this is the consequence! Do you dare to drag Sun Ya down with you?”

“You scum!” The doll was so angry that its hands were trembling. It wanted to kill him. It had to make him pay the price!

“So what? So what if your wife is a Puppet Master? If you want a puppet, there are too many people in this world who can do it for you. Why are you so vicious as to attack your own daughter?” Ji Jing took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued to ask.

As she asked, she held the jade pendant tightly in her pocket and sent a message to Ming Ze.

Ji Jing saw it clearly. Sun Luo was telling them stories to buy time. He was afraid that his array would be destroyed and he had to wait for the ancestor to descend.

However, while Sun Luo was nervous, he did not know that Ji Jing was also

stalling for time..
