Chapter 69: Awakening

The two elders frantically rushed towards Ming Li while battling their way through numerous opponents. Also, the puppet did not attack anyone randomly and only focused on the stronger seekers, making it extremely hard for them to approach Ming Li.

"Boy order the puppet to not attack us!" One of the Crystal Leaf Elder shouted.

Ming Li recognized the elder as one of the people at the balcony when he was taking the exam to enter the Main Crystal Leaf Sect. "Elder, I cannot control the puppet. It is going on a rampage!"

The elder felt helpless as he was attacked by the people controlled by the puppet. Right now, only the three leaders of the Black Spider Guild remained form all of the elders of the guild, most of them were controlled by the puppet and some died. So the main concern for all of them was the rampaging puppet above the altar. The demon spider was also secondary, since it was slowly fading away as the puppet grew stronger.

Not far away, the Crystal Leaf Sect leader looked at the direction of the puppet as he made his first step! This was his very first step during the entire fight. Even when his grandchildren was extremely wounded in the fight, he never interfered. However, this time, he quickly rushed towards the puppet, along with him was the gigantic crystal leaf floating at the same speed as him.

On the other side, Ji Chanming was also making his way through the battlefield. He was delayed by numerous enemy trying to kill him. Since he was considered as the strongest in the Golden Phoenix Order, he was the primary target of everyone even though they were weaker than him.

Also not far away, the air was being split as five figures flew at the air rushing towards the puppet. They did not attack anyone, but once someone tried to attack them. An elder would simply wave his hand throwing the attacker far away. The aura each one of them was emitting felt suffocating to anyone that blocked their path.

Ming Li continued to struggle to kill any incoming enemies while the puppet was playing with the stronger elders. Even though Ming Li seemed unbeatable because of the puppet, it wont be for long, since his condition was becoming worst every second.

The puppet might be strong, however, the life force it was sucking from him and the injuries from the demonic energy rush was too much for his body to handle. Even the Golden Plate started to have cracks on it.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became heavier as many seekers suddenly came to the area where Ming Li was. These seekers were the ones from the Ten Great Merchants Union! 

When they saw the giant puppet and the chaos it brought, they all stared with wide eyes. Even Great Elder Gu was shaken on the unexplainable puppet and the way Ming Li slaughters people at the soul realm. He noticed the poison surrounding Ming Li which lowers the strength of the seekers and also saw the Golden Plate that continuously healed Ming Li, then he looked back at the puppet with unsure expression.

The three remaining elders of the Black Spider Guild roared and flew viciously towards Ming Li. Their strength exploded which made the space slightly distort. 

Great Elder Gu's expression flickered as he ordered "Stop those three and save the kid."

Everyone who heard this was shocked; all of them knew of the Ten Great Merchant Union, however they never thought that they would actually interfere in the war.

The Ten Great Merchant Union has been always been unbiased and remained neutral to any fighting between the powers in the plane. They were respected by everyone for this, and also feared for being extremely mysterious.

However, right at the moment, they were trying to save a random boy causing severe changes in the flow of the war!

"Great Elder Gu! Do you dare to offend the Black Spider Guild!?" Yu Zhi shouted furiously.

Elder Gu floated in the sky as he said "No. We only wish to save the life of that boy."

"This boy is the enemy of our guild! We will do everything to kill him!" Mao Kang said while glaring at the incoming elders from the Ten Great Merchant Union.

"We do not wish to interfere in anything. Give us the boy and we shall leave." Great Elder Gu said with a calm expression.

While they were talking, another strong energy suddenly appeared, and a man with a gigantic Crystal Leaf behind him materialized. It was none other than the Crystal Leaf Sect Leader.

He then looked at everyone and said "Hand over the boy, or I'll be forced to use this remaining Crystal Leaf. He is a disciple of the Crystal Leaf Sect, so I will take him with me."

Great Elder Gu looked solemnly at the Crystal Leaf Sect Leader, but he did not say a word.

When things was already messier than it was. Another strong energy erupted from the opposite side as a flaming figure emerged. It was none other than Ji Chanming. Immediately, he shouted, "Screw off all of you! That boy will go to the Golden Phoenix Order! He is my benefactor!"

Great Elder Gu, Ji Chanming, the Crystal Leaf Sect Leader and the three Elder's from the Black Spider Guild erupted with unimaginable energy. All of them were the peak existence in this plane and if they Clash at the same time it would be a total disaster.

Being hot blooded, Ji Chanming did not care one bit and raised his hands as if he was calling something from the sky. Suddenly, a bright light descended towards him as his energy increased tremendously. He then pulled out his spear and rushed towards Ming Li.

He attacked the puppet without regard to anyone killing some soul realm seeker along the way. Along those soul realm seekers were some from the Crystal Leaf sect. This made the expression of the Crystal Leaf Sect leader to slightly flicker.

He also waved his hand sending the soul realm seeker away from Ji Chanming's path. Then he walked towards Ming Li, his steps were calm, but every step took made him vanish and appear closer to Ming Li.

Great Elder Gu also shot forward following the two. His four elder were already positioned around the platform where Ming Li was located. They were performing incantation gesture simultaneously as if they were invoking a powerful skill.

The Three Leader of the Black Spider Guild roared and were about to slash Ming Li with their skills. However, Ji Chanming appeared beside them along with the Crystal Leaf Leader stopping their tracks.

Then Great Elder Gu also appeared behind them which made the situation extremely hard for them.

The space distorted as various skill suddenly erupted. Their movements were so fast that everyone could not follow it except for those who were among the seekers who were fighting. It was an extremely high level fight between those who are at the peak.

The puppet did not bother them, but instead continued playing around and killing random strong seekers. Occasionally, it would glance at the woman in the altar and grin.

"Hey puppet! It's time to go!" Ming Li roared while being pained.

He then tried his best to pull the puppet back into the book and cut the demonic energy that it was sucking from his body.

Ming Li used all of his resolve to stop the puppet. Cracks in the Golden Plate increased, as his wounds also quickly multiplied.

His gaze was viscous as he placed his hand on his dantian attempting to directly interfere with the function of his core. "You stupid puppet! I'll lose consciousness if I do this. However, you will also be forced to go back!"

His core then trembled as he forcefully tried to stop it. The puppet looked at Ming Li stunned as it felt that the demonic energy suddenly stopped! The puppet had a slightly mad expression as it grabbed the frozen altar where the woman was sealed.

Then it directly absorbed the demonic energy in it as it slowly smiled towards Ming Li mockingly.

"You idiot!" Ming Li shouted.

The Golden Plate also reached its limit and shattered. Ming Li coughed out blood and blood splurted from his various wounds as his life-force became extremely weak.

While everything this was happening, Cracks also appeared on the frozen altar while energy from it was being absorbed by the puppet. Suddenly, the puppets face fell when he saw the cracks. It immediately tried to pull back its hands and stop the suction of demonic energy, however it was a moment too late.

The altar shattered! and the illusory giant demon spider also vanished! The woman fell on the ground lifeless. Even those remaining seeker maintaining the array around the altar all fell lifeless.

The four elder who just finished their incantation to suppress the puppet were all shoved away by an invisible force throwing them hundreds of meters away with severe injuries.

Everyone stopped their fighting when they saw this. All the Leaders of the Black Spider Guild were already severely wounded and at the brink of death. When suddenly, the woman opened her eyes.

Terrifying energy erupted from it which made everyone tremble in fear. Those leaders of the Black Spider Guild who were already dying suddenly coughed out blood, as they lost consciousness and fell down towards the ground! By simply being hit by the wild energy from the demon they all instantly died!

Those who were still strong enough were able to withstand the pressure from the woman. As the woman slowly stood up, the pressure from it intensified. Ming Li beside it was also at the brink of dying, however for some unknown reason, he was unaffected by the pressure.

The puppet looked at the woman with regretful expression as if it was feeling really stupid for doing what he should have not done, It was not scared but instead disappointed. Then it quickly turned into a ball of light which shot towards the book in Ming Li's cube!

The woman looked around. her beauty was stunning and extremely alluring, however, the aura she was emitting was extremely terrifying. 

Everyone shuddered including Great Elder Gu. Ji Chanming became speechless as he slightly backed off. Even the calm expression of the Crystal Leaf Sect leader was replaced with fear.

"She awakened" Great Elder Gu said with open mouth. "She was not suppose to awaken even with all of the monster cores. Why!?"

"I think it has something to do with the puppet." The Crystal Leaf Sect leader said.
