Li Xiangwen and Tan Yun’er, witnessing the blood-soaked floor and the corpses strewn about, were utterly stunned by the formidable power unleashed by the five puppets. As cultivators at the first level of the Meridian Condensation Realm, they knew they stood no chance against these five deadly and powerful puppets.

Almost simultaneously, the two attempted to retreat from the hall, driven by the instinct to escape. The commotion here had already drawn significant attention. If they could just hold on until Chu Yunsheng arrived with the experts from the Wen family, they would survive, while Ye Wushuang and his companions would surely meet their end.

“Think you can run?” Ye Wushuang let out a cold snort and took a step forward. The five puppets, moving in perfect unison, instantly pursued Li Xiangwen and Tan Yun’er, their intense aura of killing intent bursting forth.

Li Xiangwen and Tan Yun’er dared not resist any longer. They immediately deployed their life-saving techniques, summoning their defensive treasures to fend off the relentless onslaught. Yet, even with these measures, they could not withstand the domineering attacks of the puppets.

*Boom, boom…* The low, explosive sounds rang out as both of them spat blood, their spines shattered and their bodies mangled. They tumbled out of the hall in a pitiful state. Their bodies slammed into the pillars of the corridor outside the hall with a *thud*, and they collapsed to the ground, coughing up blood incessantly, their previous arrogance completely shattered.

Ye Wushuang stepped out of the hall and looked at the two, his expression indifferent. “If I want to leave, I’ll do so with dignity. I don’t need your permission.”

The two of them, their faces now pale as death, were left speechless.

Qing Shiyu stared at Ye Wushuang in utter confusion. How had he managed to control those five puppets? She knew for certain that Ye Wushuang had only just acquired them. Puppeteers needed to understand the runes that controlled the puppets in order to manipulate them. How could Ye Wushuang possibly know them?

Wang Xueqi, looking at Ye Wushuang, couldn’t help but wonder if the young man before her was still the same “good-for-nothing” Ye Wushuang from the Ye family. With these five puppets, each possessing the strength of the Meridian Condensation Realm, under his control, who in Liuyue City—be it the Qin, Yun, or Wei families—would dare to touch him?

The two women had different thoughts, while Li Xiangwen and Tan Yun’er were utterly terrified. Ye Wushuang was, without a doubt, an extremely rare and powerful puppeteer.

“Think you’re something just because you’re from Qingyun Academy?” Ye Wushuang sneered. “You casually use other people’s lives as stepping stones, trampling on their existence. You should have known that one day, your own lives would be trampled upon.”

“Quite the bold words!” A cold voice suddenly rang out, tinged with anger.

*Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…* In an instant, two figures darted forward and rescued Li Xiangwen and Tan Yun’er from the puppets’ grasp.

At that moment, from the other end of the corridor outside the hall, more than twenty figures emerged one by one. Leading them was a young man with an extraordinary aura—Chu Yunsheng. By his side were three experts from the Wen family at the Meridian Condensation Realm, two of whom were supporting the pale-faced Li Xiangwen and Tan Yun’er.

“Senior Brother Yunsheng!” Seeing Chu Yunsheng, Li Xiangwen finally let out a sigh of relief. He then glared at Ye Wushuang and said furiously, “This boy has killed Chu Xian and several other disciples.”

Tan Yun’er, her face filled with resentment, added, “He’s the one who rescued Qing Shiyu. My sister was also killed.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunsheng’s expression remained calm, but his eyes, fixed on Ye Wushuang, were filled with a cold and arrogant killing intent.

“Qing Shiyu, your life is harder than a cockroach’s,” Chu Yunsheng said to Qing Shiyu with a faint smile. “Out of ten of you, nine are dead, yet you’re still alive.”

“However, instead of running away with your tail between your legs, you dared to come back here and show yourself to me. Truly, you’ve walked into a trap!”

Qing Shiyu’s face was ablaze with fury as she declared, “Chu Yunsheng, you will pay for this.”

“Is that so?” Chu Yunsheng responded without fear, sneering, “With this reckless boy at the Physical Training Realm? With these few puppets by his side?”

With a wave of his hand, Chu Yunsheng issued his command.

“Wen Dongfeng!”

“Wen Xiyuan!”

“Wen Xiangyue!”

“Kill them.”

Instantly, the three of them, along with more than ten members of the Wen family, charged forward.

Qing Shiyu immediately asked, “Ye Wushuang, can your puppets handle this?”

However, Ye Wushuang remained silent. The five puppets suddenly lunged forward to meet the attack.
