Cai He thought about it for a moment before smiling bitterly. When the old woman was still alive, the four of them had carefullysearched this place and confirmed that there was no other way out except for the exit guarded by the giant puppet. If theywanted to leave here, they needed to pass through that gateway.
The only other option was to remain here and wait for Fei Zhi Tu and the other masters to come rescue them, but there was noguarantee that would ever happen. Whether Fei Zhi Tu and the others could even find this place was debatable, so doingnothing might just be akin to waiting here to die.
Rather than depending on hope, they might as well take their chances trying to escape. If they were lucky, they may be able tofind some kind of weakness in the puppet they could exploit to escape from here.
Although such hope was thin, it was better than doing nothing.
Considering all this, Cai He’s expression became firm and he nodded to Yang Kai, “Brother Yang, I'll accompany you. Althoughthis Cai is not very good at fighting, two people sharing the burden is still better than one.”
Yang Kai, however, just slowly shook his head and said, “No, | am just going to test its abilities, | don’t need Brother Cai’s help forthe time being. After learning more about that puppet’s strengths and weaknesses, we can come up with a plan to leave heretogether.”novelbin
“Very well, but Brother Yang, you must be careful!” Cai He exclaimed nervously.
Yang Kai nodded before turning around, raising his vigilance as high as it could go, then slowly approaching the puppet while CaiHe and Du Si Si stood nervously and observed.
Half an hour later, Yang Kai returned in a disheveled state.
This test forced Yang Kai to use all of his methods, and thanks to his strength greatly exceeding those in the same realm as him,combined with a bit of luck, he was able to avoid taking any serious damage from the puppet. Only once was his body brushedby the statue’s giant stick, causing half of his clothes to shred and his body to go a bit numb.
Cai He and Du Si Si watched this battle from beginning to end, and when Yang Kai returned, both of their eyes contained a traceof awe, because the various probes Yang Kai had just made were all taken by risking his life. Many times, both were convincedYang Kai would die, but no matter how desperate the situation was he always managed to find a way to survive.
After watching this life or death struggle for half an hour, the two of them were even more tired than Yang Kai, the one who wasdoing all the fighting. Both of their palms were drenched in cold sweat as they felt it had been an entire year since the fightbegan.
From this exchange though, the two of them clearly saw that Yang Kai was no ordinary Saint King Realm cultivator. The methodshe displayed were both varied and powerful, exceeding even those or ordinary Origin Returning Realm masters.
Neither Cai He nor Du Si Si dared look down on Yang Kai anymore.After returning, Yang Kai silently took out several healing pills and sat down cross-legged to meditate.
A day later, Yang Kai exhaled lightly and opened his eyes, a strong light flashing across their depths, seemingly fully recovered.Cai He and Du Si Si, who had been waiting nearby, saw this and quickly walked over with expectant looks upon their faces.
Yang Kai obviously knew what they were thinking and did not keep them in suspense, declaring firmly, “There’s an opportunity!”
Hearing this, Cai He and Du Si Si’s eyes lit up as a touch of joy appeared on their faces. Cai He quickly sat cross-legged in frontof Yang Kai and asked anxiously, “Brother Yang, how do we get past that puppet? Just inform us and Si Si and | will do our bestto cooperate.”
“Get past it?” Yang Kai smiled strangely as he stared Cai He in the eye, “We can’t get past it. You should have seen whathappened when | tried just now. Although its build is massive, it is extremely fast and agile. If it was just me, | might have achance to slip past it, but with the two of you, there’s absolutely no possibility of success!”
This was not Yang Kai underestimating them, but simply telling them the truth. Even with Yang Kai using his full speed andboosted by his Wind and Thunder Wings, he still had less than a fifty percent chance of slipping through the puppet’s blockade.He had experimented with this just now, rushing towards the gateway several times during the fight, but each time he had beenforced back by the statue.
This puppet seemed to have extreme hostility towards any living creature that tried to pass through this gateway and went all outto kill anyone who tried!
Hearing Yang Kai say this, Du Si Si pretty face paled and she immediately shouted, “You can’t leave us here!”She instinctively thought that Yang Kai planned to leave here without them.Cai He forced out a smile and said loudly, “Si Si, you're thinking too much, Brother Yang won't do that.”
His words weren't just meant to comfort Du Si Si, but himself as well, and while he said them, he quietly observed Yang Kai’sreaction, obviously a little worried Yang Kai might really do this.
Yang Kai did not try to explain himself either way. In all honesty, if he really was confident that he could slip past the puppet, he
would have done so. That did not mean he intended to abandon these two here, though. If he was able to leave, he would havegone to look for Fei Zhi Tu and the other masters before returning to rescue them; after all, one person escaping and looking forhelp was better than three people being trapped here with no hope of survival.
Ignoring Cai He’s thinly veiled probe, Yang Kai simply continued his explanation, “If we want to leave this place now, we need towork together. With just my abilities, protecting myself is the best | can do, while being its opponent is completely out of thequestion.”
Cai He nodded repeatedly for a moment before asking, “Brother Yang, you just said that we can’t get past it, so what are wegoing to do? From the looks of it, that thing won't leave too far from the exit.”
This was something Yang Kai had also confirmed while probing the situation. Once he got to within a hundred metres of thegateway, the puppet would immediately attack, but if he left this range, it would return to being an inanimate object.
Listening to Cai He’s question, Yang Kai grinned meaningfully, “Naturally we're going to kill it!”“Kill it...” Cai He parroted dumbfounded.Du Si Si also gawked and retorted, “Are you insan...”
Before she could finish speaking though, she saw Yang Kai shoot her a cold glare and quickly swallowed down the rest of herwords; however, her face remained sullen, clearly indicating she thought Yang Kai’s proposal was ridiculous.
“Since | dared to speak about this, naturally | have confidence in accomplishing it,” Yang Kai knew that if he didn’t explain thingsproperly these two wouldn't cooperate with him. The great power of this giant puppet and the scene of it killing the old womanhad left a shadow in their hearts, making it impossible for them to summon the courage to oppose it.
“First, let us talk about its biggest shortcoming. That puppet only guards that gateway, so what lies beyond it must be tooimportant for it to leave its post; however, we can use this to our advantage. Since the two of you are Array Masters... it shouldgo without saying what we need to do, yes?” Yang Kai glanced at the two of them.
Cai He and Du Si Si’s expressions became thoughtful and both soon gently nodded.
This huge shortcoming of the puppet gave them ample time to arrange a large Spirit Array, and if they could coordinate this SpiritArray with Yang Kai, there might really be a chance for them to kill this puppet.
“Arranging an array isn’t a problem; moreover, we can arrange one specifically to limit that puppet’s speed. From what | haveseen, while that puppet'’s resistance to damage from various attributes is a problem, its speed is the most troublesome issue. Ifwe can slow it down, it will become far easier to deal with,” Cai He stroked his chin slowly.
“You can arrange such a Spirit Array?” Yang Kai was overjoyed. It seemed that Cai He was thinking the same as he was.Puppets were different from living creatures, so there were some Spirit Arrays that, although powerful, would have no effect on it.Yang Kai’s original intention was to ask Cai He and Du Si Si to arrange a Spirit Array to dampen its speed, and Cai Hi hadunexpectedly drawn this same conclusion.
“It shouldn’t be too difficult, | have the equipment to arrange the Mirror Lake Clay Dragon Array while Si Si should have thematerials to arrange the Painting Earth Prison Array, right?” Cai He looked towards Du Si Si.
“En,” Du Si Si gently nodded, not surprised he knew about such details; after all, the Cai Family and Du Family both specializedin arranging Spirit Arrays, so it was normal for there to be some competition and intelligence gathering between them.
“How powerful are these two Spirit Arrays?” Yang Kai asked hurriedly.
Cai He quickly showed a proud look,“The power of these two Spirit Arraysis naturally immense. If they can befully activated, even jf @yhirceOider
igi RetumingRe m master fallsinto it, their speed will falldramatically,” Saying so though, anembarrassed look flashed across hisface, “Unfortunately, with just mineand Si Si’s strength, we'll only be ableto display about half that kind ofpower.” The content is onNovelDrama.Org!

“Half...” Yang Kai frowned slightly. Seeing this, Cai He quickly followed up, “Rest assured Brother Yang, even at only halfstrength, these two Spirit Arrays will be able to display incredible might. They'll be able to reduce that puppet’s speed by at leastten percent, possibly even twenty percent!”
“Ten to twenty percent, it’s a bit less than | was hoping for, but it'll have to do!” Yang Kai nodded.“But Brother Yang, even if Si Si and | used our Spirit Arrays to slow it down, how do you plan on eliminating that puppet?”
“En, you weren't able to damage it in the slightest when you were testing it yesterday!” Du Si Si also hurriedly asked. This was alife or death matter so no one dared act carelessly after all, if they couldn’t coordinate and cooperate properly in the upcomingbattle, there was a chance all of them would die.
Yang Kai showed a faint grin, “Although | wasn’t able to damage it, | was able to verify one thing.”“And that is?”
“The reason that puppet can move autonomously without being operated by a cultivator is because there is some kind of SoulWisp inside it!”
“Soul Wisp?” Cai He and Du Si Si asked curiously.
“En, you can think of it as a kind ofSoul Clone. Have you ever observedLian Guang operate his puppets?”Yang Kai looked at the two of themas he said solemnly, “Lian Guanginserts a wisp of hi ivineSense |aati ab his'BUppets that allowshim to operate them. Although thispuppet is much higher in grade thanLian Guang's, the principle behind itsoperation should be similar; after all,puppets aren't living creatures. If youwant it to act, it needs to havesomething giving it commands!Since this puppet is not beingoperated by some external cultivator,it must have some kind of Soul Wispsealed inside of it, but as to whatexactly this Soul Wisp is, | can’t becertain.” The content is onNovelDrama.Org!

Listening to Yang Kai's analysis, bothCai He and Du Si Si suddenly felt theirconfusion clear up. Before, both ofthem had sirppysheert overwhelmedby this. dpet's incredible power andhad not considered the issuecarefully. Now that Yang Kaiexplained this to them though, thetwo of them immediately felt hemade sense. The content is onNovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!
“So Brother Yang’s meaning is...”
“En, | don’t need to destroy this puppet, as long as | can find where the Soul Wisp is located and destroy it, the puppet naturallywon't be able to move anymore,” Yang Kai’s eyes flashed fiercely.
Cai He’s eyes also lit up as he nodded, “So that’s how it is. In that case, this approach might really be feasible!”Compared to destroying such a solid puppet, finding and eliminating the Soul Wisp controlling it was naturally much easier.“Then, do you know where that Soul Wisp is located?” Du Si Si asked.
Yang Kai’s face darkened upon hearing this question and slowly shook his head, “I’m not sure yet; however, there are a fewsuspicious places, which is why | need to borrow your strength to restrict its speed so | can investigate these locations to findwhere that Soul Wisp is stored.”
