"Why are you so afraid of her?" I asked. She was still far away from us, thanks to the butterfly which was a King Beast peak, in a few minutes, she would catch up with us.

"That because she's from the Righteous Sect the most powerful Sect from the Central Country. Also, she's the granddaughter of the Head Master. They have trained her since young. She's only 13 years old, but she's already at the Qi Refining Peak..."

"So? You are four against a woman..." What a bunch of weaklings...

"She's stronger than us combined..."

Shu Er and Shu Yi laughed, it's been a while since they laughed. I enjoyed their smile.

"Master, let them witness the strength of the mighty Puppet Guide..."

"What are we going to do, it seems if we don't agree to fight her the Puppet may ditch us." Xiao Wu said.

"But it's impossible for us to win her, she has many trump cards."

I looked at Shu Yi and Shu Er, we three had a disbelief looks on our faces. Are they dumb or something? What quest... I was getting pissed with this four idiots. While they were talking Lu Xin already caught with us.

"You think you four can't match me? Hand over the Puppet Guide, this time you create a big trouble for your three sects. You, though with only this kind of ability you could get the Ancient Ruins buried treasure? Kneel and repent or face death. Choose!"

The fourth youth brought out their weapons, they were ready to fight Lu Xin.

"I appreciate your courage, at least you aren't trash. Well, you shall die under my sword,"

'What an arrogant woman... mm... my soul picked subtle change in the environment. Something changed. I could see a bit more clearly the city shadow. Something must have been activated'

The fight was about to start; it was a tense moment, sweat could be seen on the four youth foreheads yet Lu Xin stood there with that cold face of hers...

Shu Yi stomach growled... her face turned red. Shu Er smiled at her. They didn't eat for many days, they needed something to eat. The five of them turned to look at her, they made her blush more; she took a few steps back and hid behind her little sister...

The mood became awkward... the five of them turned to look to this young puppet with a missing arm.

'Oh! The butterfly well it's a bug but it will have some kind of meat being so big right?'

I walked towards the butterfly, it also had an attitude like her master. Too arrogant. My hand was moving slowly I released some pressure to root the beast.

The five of them were watching my hand moving until it grabbed the butterfly head, the five of them had different though, no one expected me to exert a little bit of pressure. The butterfly head exploded.

[Ding! Killed Swallowtail butterfly. +1350 EXP]

[Ding! Death Point +1]

[Ding! Death Core +1]

Their jaws dropped... the puppet was that powerful? Was not it damaged... that was a King peak beast it did not even struggle at all. It just faced its death without doing nothing... Wait! Something was wrong with this the Puppet only Guide them through the test and explained the rules and this kind of things... they did not kill the participants on the test.

"You are not the Puppet Guide! Who are you?" Lu Xin was furious her precious mount was dead. She had this butterfly since she was little.

I moved the corpse towards Shu Yi and Shu Er I dissected and dismember it fast, my trait King Monster hunter was very useful it allowed me to select the best parts for them to eat. They sat and cooked really fast with their Qi the butterfly parts I gave them.

Lu Xin mind went blank. She was never disregarded like this; this youth in front of her ignored her totally. He even gave her dead mount corpse away for both women to eat. She was watching how her precious mount that was with her for ten years was being eaten. She could not process what was happening...

"We were mistaken? Wasn't he the Puppet Guide? But he was here before us." I confused Li Qi.

"Right we were the ones to pass first the second trial." Chu Xian exclaimed.

"Also look at those couple women they are over 15 years old they should be able to be able to enter the trials..." You Ye was checking both women up and down.

"But this youth is less than 15 years old... Could the anomaly in the Ancient Ruins was caused by him?" Xiao Wu was mumbling...

They were discussing this absurd situation; they could not make any sense out of it.

"You boy! You court death!" Lu Xin shouted.

It seemed that after some time passed, she came back. She was ready to cause me troubles.

She unleashed her sword and moved towards me she executed a movement technique called Cloud Steps, she was slightly floating coming towards me. I did not dare to underestimate her movement technique it was fast, but it was clear that she was not used to fighting at all. She lacked experience besides my body boosted with Qi cultivation could match a normal Core Foundation 1st Rank; she became slow to the point I could crush her instantly. Her technique was great I could see that, but it was clearly a flashy movement without substance or improvement in speed. I guessed it would be a Core art, and she was executing being a Qi cultivation useless except for show. She did not grasp the technique properly. In fact, Li Qi was faster than she was.

I did not want to embarrass her anymore, so I slapped her face, I sent her flying.

"You are not a worthy opponent. Your technique is inferior to these four, yet you are so arrogant and mighty. Go home and train some more years." I could not stand this kind of attitude. I did not want to kill her. She could be a potential problem and I needed to get smart and play low. This kind of place could bring me too many enemies. I did not want that many troubles...
