Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

Chapter 951: Chapter 339: Heavenbane’s Homeward Journey

Ning Zhuo read the Jade Slip three times, and only then did the sadness in his heart slightly alleviate.

The contents of the Jade Slip were abundant, all of which were concerns from Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin for Ning Zhuo, covering various aspects, including Luo Si.

Ning Zhuo handed the Jade Slip to Luo Si.

Luo Si waved his hand, his voice hoarse, "This was left by your mother, how could I..."

Though he didn’t know the details, he heard Ning Zhuo just now calling out "mother" with sincerity.

Ning Zhuo slowly shook his head, tears marked his face, filled with sorrow, "This is guidance from my mother, and it also involves you. My mother specifically instructed me to show it to you."

"She told me to treat you well, for we would be lifelong comrades."

"Moreover, these contents can deepen our understanding of each other, with no hidden secrets or filth! However, half of the ’Water Burial Peace and Virtue Scripture’ has been omitted by me; I hope you understand."

Luo Si apologized, then stretched out his hands to receive the Jade Slip.

He read it once, his expression solemn, nodded slightly, and then returned the Jade Slip to Ning Zhuo.

Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin also left a message specifically for Luo Si in the Jade Slip, relaying Grey Bone Elder’s arrangements before his demise: Grey Bone Elder passed the ’Water Burial Peace and Virtue Scripture’ to Ning Zhuo, the savior, who needs to quickly study and master this Taoist Scripture. Then, to bury Grey Bone Elder in Wangchuan.

Luo Si said, "Since it was Grey Bone Elder’s arrangement, I will of course give my full support."

Pausing briefly, a sharp light flickered in his eyes, "Besides, I also want to investigate the battlefield and find out who actually caused the senior’s death!"

Ning Zhuo nodded, "Time is limited, let’s call the Qing Jiao Army now to clean up the battlefield and try to gather intelligence as much as possible."

"How long do you think is appropriate?"

Water Burial Valley is within the realm of Wangchuan Underworld and likely to be pursued by the Lord of Wangchuan’s army, making it unsafe here.

Luo Si thought for a moment, "Half an hour later, we must withdraw!"

"Alright." Ning Zhuo agreed immediately, trusting Luo Si’s judgment in leading troops.

Half an hour later, the Qing Jiao Army departed on time.

The battlefield was thoroughly cleaned.

The bodies of ghost gods were cut open, and all valuable parts were taken away!

Besides these, there was nothing else.

The remnants of the Paperman Army, the paper scraps, were purposely collected by the Qing Jiao Army and directly burned to prevent the Lord of Wangchuan from tracing it back to other Paperman troops.

The battle at Water Burial Valley was fought too fiercely. Valuable spoils were scarce, and the core battlefield had turned into a lava zone with no reliable clues.

Though Ning Zhuo and Luo Si had some vague guesses about this.

The Qing Jiao Army set out again from Water Burial Valley.

After traveling only two or three miles, they encountered Sun Lingtong.

Since being taken from Wangchuan Immortal City by Zeng Jide, Sun Lingtong had been traveling nonstop.

However, due to insufficient cultivation, once the Lord of Wangchuan returned by teleportation, he immediately issued a pursuit order, causing pursuers to appear everywhere.

Sun Lingtong could only hide and dodge, significantly disrupting his travel pace. Hence, only now did he arrive at Water Burial Valley.

"Boss!" Ning Zhuo almost shouted aloud, transmitting his thoughts with Divine Sense.

The joy that arose in his heart swept away the grief brought by Water Burial Valley.

Sun Lingtong also transmitted his thoughts using Divine Sense, "Little Zhuo, my adventures in Wangchuan Immortal City were truly spectacular! Luo Si?!"

He widened his eyes, noticing Luo Si, and after being surprised, he immediately deduced part of the truth.

Ning Zhuo introduced Luo Si and Sun Lingtong to each other.

When introducing Sun Lingtong, he said: This person is my most capable subordinate, previously dispatched to infiltrate Wangchuan Immortal City to create havoc.

When introducing Luo Si, Ning Zhuo elaborated on Luo Si’s repentance and skillful reversal in the Black Cloud Battlefield, emphasizing his admiration for Luo Si’s high-spirited proclamation during battle.

Sun Lingtong laughed merrily as he heard Ning Zhuo treat him as a subordinate, showing no concern for this upside-down arrangement.

Their brotherly bond was cultivated long ago within Fire Persimmon Immortal City, and outside, their relationship could fluctuate freely, all for external convenience.

Luo Si saluted, looking puzzled, "Have we met somewhere before?"

Sun Lingtong chuckled, took out the Dust-cleaning Cup, and saluted, "Many thanks to the General for the treasured gift."

As it turned out, Sun Lingtong had once seen Luo Si fishing alongside Wangchuan River and Luo Si had gifted him this Dust-cleaning Cup willingly.

Upon seeing it, Luo Si’s eyes lit up, "So it was you!"

Back then, Sun Lingtong and Luo Si met when Sun Lingtong’s soul entered the Netherworld, donning the shell of a Paperman soldier.

Now, with their identities clarified, Luo Si instantly felt a sense of camaraderie towards Sun Lingtong.

The Qing Jiao Army enveloped the three in the center, commencing a swift journey.

The three communicated using Divine Sense, sharing their experiences, and couldn’t help but exclaim repeatedly.

Sun Lingtong initially thought his adventures were thrilling, but he hadn’t expected Ning Zhuo’s experiences to be akin to dancing on a tightrope along a cliffside, constantly facing the test of life and death.

Ning Zhuo sighed, "Next time we meet Senior Zeng Jide, we must thank him properly. He has helped us immensely!"

Luo Si then thanked Sun Lingtong with a sincere expression. It was due to Sun Lingtong’s chaos within Wangchuan Immortal City and crucial theft of the Array Device from the heart of the Earth Phase Array that allowed Luo Si to hold out longer.

If not for this, Luo Si would have died at the hands of the Earth Evil God long ago. From this perspective, saying Sun Lingtong is Luo Si’s life-saving benefactor is not far from the truth.

With a heavy sense of gratitude, Luo Si immediately expressed his intent to repay Sun Lingtong for this favor.
