Return Countdown 168:00:00.
The world brightened again.
Lao Er in the forest felt like he had regained control of his body for a mont.
But the mont passed.
The icy threads wrapped around his hands suddenly disappeared, then reappeared.
He regretted it, it seed that his only chance of escape was missed.
In fact, the ti travel chanism does affect Marionette.
When Qing Chen returns, all Forbidden Artifacts will return with him.
So at that mont, Marionette will leave the puppet's wrist and must wait for him to ti-travel before re-attaching.
This mont is a flaw; if the puppet he controls is strong enough, he can accurately perceive this mont and break free from control.
Fortunately, Lao Er is not strong enough.
Qing Chen controlled Lao Er to walk into the forest, the main shadow and the secondary shadow walking in front of each other. He didn't intend to run; he wanted to single-handedly hold the Silver City's main force in this forest.
He needs to accumulate enough strength to face Silver Duke.
Qing Chen walked calmly in the forest and said to Lao Er, “After learning about Boss He's ordeal, I feel quite angry. I rarely get this angry. Tonight, I'll let your whole family leave this world together. But don't worry, your eyeballs will live on in this world.”
After searching for more than ten minutes, the main shadow discovered traces of a campfire ahead.
Lao Si was stationed there with a battalion of troops. This Black Knights mber didn't intend to participate in the pursuit of Lao San.
After all, it's just a show; why act so seriously?
He knew that Lao Er wanted to possess Lao San's body, and he also knew that Lao Er had a high probability of success, after all, Lao Er brought so many people, while Lao San was alone.
But this would directly offend Big Brother. If Big Brother investigated afterwards, he would have a whole battalion to prove that he didn't participate.
How convenient.
These twelve brothers, except for Lao San, have over ten thousand tricks up their sleeves combined.
Lao Si was turning his roasted leg of lamb by the campfire; it was almost ready.
However, at this ti, the outpost heard the voice of a scout: “Who's there?”
“,” Lao Er's cold voice ca.
Two figures slowly walked out of the forest. When Lao Si saw who they were, he was startled. He stood up, flustered: “Lao Er! Lao San!”
Lao Si felt sothing was wrong. Since Lao Er had found Lao San, why didn't he take him to the airship to perform the possession? Why co to him?!
Lao Er said coldly, “Why are you slacking off here?”
Lao Si stamred for a long ti: “I was hungry, Lao Er. Why are you here?”
Lao Er said coldly, “Old Five just destroyed my airship.”
Lao Si imdiately understood. Lao Er's possession equipnt was destroyed. Old Five did a great job!
Lao Er sat beside the campfire and said to Lao Si, “Co sit. This ti I want you to help eliminate Old Five. I've discussed it with Lao San; I'll use him as bait. By the way, where are the other brothers? Have you seen them?”
Lao Si sat down and said, “I just saw Old Six. He said he'd go and act for a while, then co back to eat roasted lamb.”
As soon as Lao Si sat down, he felt an icy thread wrapped around his wrist, and his body lost control.
Then, he saw Qing Chen calmly turning the roasted leg of lamb, calmly saying, “The roasted lamb is perfectly cooked.”
Lao Si was shocked internally, thinking that Lao Er was controlled by Lao San. No, it's not Lao San, it's Joker!
Qing Chen sat in the enemy-surrounded camp, cut a piece of lamb with a small knife, and slowly chewed it.
Lao Er and Lao Si watched silently, only feeling that the other party was too calm, as if all the soldiers here were his own.
Were they this calm on the battlefield? Probably not.
Lao Si had fought for decades, and sotis when surrounded by enemies, his legs would tremble a little.
But this Joker was like an unaffected person, not taking them seriously at all.
At this ti, Qing Chen ate the lamb and said, “What I hate most is your attitude towards your disciples. When I first ca to the Inner World, if it weren't for my master, I wouldn't know how to face this world. He taught Cultivation, the principles of this world. He asked the Ti Traveler, what a father in the Outer World would do for his son, then bought a house and a car. No, that was a scam. The loan hasn't been paid off yet. If I hadn't beco the Head of the Qingshi Clan, maybe one day I'd be on the defaulter blacklist.”
Wait, Qing Chen suddenly thought of a problem. Actually, his master knew his identity at that ti. And his master's loans were all from Qing Family Bank. If he really didn't repay, nothing would happen.
It's just that the Old Master on Ginkgo Mountain would probably feel uncomfortable seeing Li Shutong's indirect offering. Qing Chen continued, “My master was really good to , so now I think, if his kindness was all for the purpose of possessing my body one day, how terrifying that would be. Thinking of this, I feel that you all deserve to die.”
At this point, Old Six's cheerful voice ca from the forest: “Lao Si, do you know what I just saw? I saw Old Five sink Lao Er's airship! Lao Er?!”
Lao Er turned his head and looked at Old Six expressionlessly: “Get over here.”
Old Six shuffled over, his head bowed. The soldiers behind him were sowhat at a loss.
Lao Er sneered, “My airship was sunk, and you're happy?”
“No, no,” Old Six hastily explained, “I was just making small talk. I'll sink Old Five's airship later!”
Seeing that he couldn't fool them, he quickly changed the subject. Old Six lowered his voice and said, “Do you know? There's an insider among us.”
In an instant, Qing Chen, Lao Er, and Lao Si looked over.
Old Six was startled, “Why are you looking at ? I'm not an insider! I an, Lao San just possessed Joker, and Fate Weaver knew about it right away. Soone must have inford the royal family.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Six also lost control of his body.
He sat there unable to even roll his eyes, then, seeing Lao Er and Lao Si sitting calmly, and Qing Chen eating lamb indifferently, he gradually realized what happened—all those sitting by the campfire were ghosts!
At this mont, soldiers outside the camp began to scream, shadows stood up one by one, and soldiers fell one by one.
Dozens of campfires flickered in the camp. Soldiers ran back and forth, fighting with the shadows. Gunshots, shouts, and howls intertwined.
Only Qing Chen was calmly eating the roasted leg of lamb, as if the world's clamor had nothing to do with him.
But it was all because of him.
Qing Chen said calmly, “I've gathered enough of your brothers. I'll take you all to kill Silver Duke. I'm a little afraid to go alone. Okay, I'm full. Let's get to work.”
With that, he took the three puppets into the darkness of the forest, leaving the clamor behind.
Qing Chen was like collecting Dragon Balls, collecting his seven puppets on this battlefield. Once gathered, he could return to Silver City to save Boss He.
Lao San's mory was like a breach in a river embanknt. When the breach opened, the flood surged down, quickly engulfing the Black Knights.
Thanks, Lao San.
Midnight.
Silver Duke was still sitting in the headquarters of the Black Knights, pondering sothing.
For so reason, he always felt that after Lao San possessed Joker, sothing seed wrong, but he couldn't determine what the problem was.
Was it too smooth?
It was indeed too smooth. Everything transitioned smoothly without any danger. Capture Joker, bring Joker back, possess Joker. There wasn't even a ripple.
Then the Black Knights obtained the East Continent's inheritance, and could even go to the East Continent to take over everything Joker owned.
Too easy.
It shouldn't be this easy.
But there was nothing wrong with each step of the process. Lao San did pass the verification, and the Breathing Technique did increase Knight True Qi!
Until Silver Duke rembered the few seconds Lao San paused in the surveillance.
Those few seconds were like a thorn in his mind that he couldn't remove.
Why did Lao San pause there and bow his head in thought?
Lao San had no reason to pause for those few seconds.
Silver Duke was a ticulous person; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to control the Black Knights for so long. Therefore, he keenly sensed that sothing was wrong.
He stood up, ready to go to the dungeon to take a look himself. Perhaps by replaying the situation from Lao San's position, he could discover sothing.
However, at this mont, Lao Shi Er hurriedly ca in. He held the phone and lowered his voice, “Big Brother, it's a call from the Storm Duke's royal family.”
At this ti, Storm Duke had just beco the royal family, and everyone was still getting used to his new identity.
Silver Duke took the phone, “Congratulations on your impending inheritance of the throne. I'd also like to wish you good luck in killing your siblings.”
The Storm Duke on the other end of the phone said coldly, “I don't have ti to listen to your sarcasm. I know you have objections to the royal family, and the previous transaction was also very unpleasant, but every word I say now is very important. I hope we can set aside our prejudices.”
Silver Duke sat up straight. He suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem. The Roosevelt family wasn't magnanimous. They suddenly acted this way, there must be sothing very important that happened.
Storm Duke continued, “Your Lao San is dead. To be precise, he died eight hours ago. I have his real na, birthday, and even his hair from the first generation, but my black magic didn't work.”
Silver Duke's pupils suddenly constricted. He clearly understood what this ant—Lao San's possession failed!
Joker is still Joker!
His voice beca heavy as he probed, “What? The royal family failed to assassinate, so they want to sow discord?”
Storm Duke didn't waste words, “I had Fate Weaver lock onto every mber of the Black Knights, and His Majesty also locked onto you. They saw your fate, your imminent demise.”
“What did they see?” Silver Duke's voice was cold, “What did His Majesty see? How would I know what you're planning?”
Storm Duke said, “The Fate Weavers saw the second Knight being manipulated like a puppet, your brothers will die one after another, and you will also die under a blood-red sword. Black Knights, the Knights from the East Continent are here to clean house.”
With that, Storm Duke hung up.
Silver Duke frowned.
The fragnts of fate were scenes, very detailed battle details, but Storm Duke refused to elaborate.
He began to quickly analyze: The other party made this call because they really saw the tragic end of the Black Knights in the fate fragnts.
The other party wanted him to be highly vigilant, to know the existence of Joker, and then let him and Joker fight each other, preferably to the death.
For the Roosevelt royal family, it would be to their liking if he and Joker died together.
But the problem is, no matter what Fate Weaver saw, as long as Joker is still Joker, he will pose a threat to the Black Knights because other Knights don't know this!
“Quick, inform all Black Knights, Lao San is fake, it's Joker!” Silver Duke hurried towards the door and loudly instructed, “Get an airship, I'm going to the Air Fortress!”
The Air Fortress always stands above various cities. They are a symbol of a city's power. Once moved, it ans war.
After Silver Duke went out, he felt like he had missed sothing. Strange, Joker is just an A-Class Knight. Even if he is very powerful, in the face of his absolute speed, he will definitely be no match.
Even if the other party uses Marionette to control all his brothers, he can still easily crush them.
Once a Knight reaches the Demi-God realm, they can't be killed by sheer numbers.
Just like when Koshima Li Bingxi fought Li Shutong, no matter how many clones he split into, Li Shutong could defeat them one by one with absolute speed.
So, what exactly is the problem? Why can Joker pose a threat to the entire Black Knights?
Did Li Shutong also co here?
At this ti, the airship that had been on standby above had already landed. The mont Silver Duke entered the airship, he suddenly turned around and said, “Shi Er, go to the dungeon and kill that He Jinqiu. Keeping him around is a potential trouble. After killing him, you take an airship to et .”
It has to be said that Silver Duke was indeed ticulous. Even at this ti, he still thought of eliminating all hidden dangers.
The airship took off, and Lao Shi Er quickly led people to the dungeon.
He walked in the dim dungeon, looking at the independent cell at the end of the corridor, and sohow felt a chill in his heart.
Lao Shi Er paused. He said to the soldiers beside him, “Open the door, and execute him on the spot after opening the door.”
The soldiers walked over, one went to open the door, while the other two held their guns behind, ready to shoot at any ti.
But the mont the alloy gate lifted, three exquisite jade pendants suddenly flew out from the cell. In the blink of an eye, the three soldiers had their heads pierced and died on the spot!
Lao Shi Er's face changed drastically. He saw the iron hook that hooked He Jinqiu's collarbone, which had been severed by a sharp weapon. The rope fell to the ground, and He Jinqiu was standing there expressionlessly, his hands severed at the wrists, and his hands were gone.
Lao Shi Er muttered in his heart, It's over.
This shocking scene made him inexplicably feel cold and terrified. It turned out that soone was so cruel that they would cut off their own hands to escape and take revenge!
How much determination does a person who is so cruel to themselves possess?
How could this be soone he could defeat?
He Jinqiu just stood there quietly, but he seed like a demon that had just erged from the molten lava of hell, his whole body filled with tangible Killing Intent.
Nine heart swords swirled around him, like planets revolving around a star.
And these nine heart swords were different from before. They were emitting a brilliant silver light.
Lao Shi Er didn't understand the Hu family's inheritance, so he didn't know what this ant.
He Jinqiu had already done what he wanted to do and had no regrets in life.
