Otherworldly Affairs Office

After quietly waiting for the explosions to end, a few people followed Zhu Guangyi through the fire scene cautiously, staring at the fragmented puppet person on the ground, and everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.

Pei Yan squatted down to pick up a few puppet fragments and was about to take a closer look when Zhao Yuanhu's panicked voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "Look at it, it seems to still be moving!"

Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of ropes. The nervous Pei Yan, who had just relaxed, jumped up instantly into a defensive state after hearing this, and then looked in the direction Zhao Yuanhu pointed.

His gaze rested on a pile of rubble that was slightly trembling, a faint azure light emanating from the gaps. Pei Yan extended a mechanical arm to move aside the rubble, revealing a small part of the mechanical puppet's body. Its metal skin was seriously damaged, allowing for a clear view of its internal structure. Three small stones emitting dark blue light hovered within, forming a triangle and slowly rotating. With each rotation, the surface of the mechanical puppet gradually restored a bit.

Pei Yan turned his head to look at the scattered body fragments seemingly summoned, slowly moving toward the body.

"What the hell is this thing made of? It's so damaged yet can still restore itself! We can't let it recover anymore!" Faced with the mechanical puppet's formidable recovery ability, he felt a headache and couldn't help but shout.

"Shape formation!" Zhu Guangyi didn't need to be told. He was already moving, using his ability to spread mud and seal the scattered pieces in cement.

Seeing the situation settled, Pei Yan bravely extended the mechanical arm toward the strange stones in the puppet's chest cavity, but just as his fingers were about to touch the surface, a black-robed elder descended from the sky, waving his long sleeves to collect the three stones into his sleeve, then looking up at Pei Yan, said a few sentences.

Pei Yan knew it was the language of the Daoist Realm at that time. Retracting the mechanical arm, he hurriedly put on his translation device earphones, cautiously watching the black-robed elder.

At that moment, Prison Director Li descended from the sky, unobtrusively shielding Pei Yan behind him, pressing the translation device at his throat, clearing his throat, and speaking in the Daoist Plane's voice in a deep tone: "I didn't expect that after being transferred from the investigation hall to the Secret Prison for so many years, I'd still get a chance to use this thing! Reincarnation Realm? Haven't encountered it for a long time!"

"I also didn't expect to meet someone like you in this plane! Mortal, tell me your name!" The black-robed elder scanned the ruined battlefield and sighed.

"Li Jianguo!"

The black-robed elder looked at the tall and proud Li Jianguo with disdain and said, "Jianguo, huh! Truly arrogant and self-important! No wonder it's the cornerstone plane, with your kind of power, you dare to dream of founding a country and establishing a business?"

"We've got seven Jianguo in our village!" Li Jianguo responded indifferently, not bothering to explain cultural differences to him.

The black-robed elder was stunned by the words, staring at his opponent's expression, which didn't seem to be an empty boast. Being dispatched to the cornerstone plane for the first time, he usually disregarded communication with the godly ones, knowing little about this world's situation. Observing Li Jianguo and the strength displayed by his subordinates, even in the Daoist Plane, it would compare to a mid-upper sect. And he said their village has seven Jianguo? Could Jianguo be a title here? Are there seven strong people like him in their village?

How big is their village? How many villages like this does this country have?

Thinking of this, he scanned the whole scene again. Even if he engaged here, the battle would be impossible to turn around. Calculating the time, he had stalled long enough, the new puppet's combat power was verified, and the task entrusted by the sect was completed.

Lingering too long might cause unforeseen troubles, and if he was careless, he could be surrounded and suffer the same fate as that kid Li Songtao, becoming the second laughingstock in the alliance.

Urgency causes change; the elder decisively made up his mind not to hesitate or speak more. His figure flickered, transforming into a stream of light and disappearing in front of everyone.

"Just let him run like that?" Pei Yan said dumbfounded, watching the black-robed man who changed his color after speaking two sentences and then instantly vanished with surprise.

"There's no choice; we can't stop him!" After the black-robed elder disappeared, Li Jianguo took a deep breath, swaying three times before stabilizing and then said: "The rest should be left to the consultants from the investigation hall. If he is wise enough to leave quietly or return to the Daoist Plane, all's well. Otherwise, what awaits him is soul death and dispersal."

Pei Yan nodded thoughtfully, walked to the pile of puppet remains from which the mysterious stones were taken. Without the support of the three divine stones, the puppet's surface lost its brilliance and became dull. He squatted and observed carefully for a while and then stored it in his spatial ring, wondering if such remains would still be useful to Director Yao.

Just when he thought the most intense battle had been completed, there was a loud bang behind him, and the demolition debris flew all over the place. Pei Yan stumbled by several bricks, almost falling like a dog eating mud. He rolled on the ground, turning his body to look.

Under the previously collapsed high wall, a silhouette slowly stood up. This mysterious youth's clothing color and hair reached a high level of consistency, all stained with cement gray, turning into an earthy hue.

Pei Yan struggled to recognize him from the dirt-covered face, and this was indeed the living person related to the Song Mingyuan incident, one of the mysterious Magic Realm cross-border pair.

Severely injured, Little Vlad trembled while looking at the crowd approaching him, his whole body feeling like it was being scattered, never having suffered such severe injuries since he was born.

Three months ago, following the family directive, during that operation, he inadvertently crossed the border. He originally intended to go to the family's long-established base in the Western World of this plane, to gather family forces in preparation for the upcoming invasion plan. But he inadvertently came to this mysterious Eastern Country.

Fortunately, the family had foreseen the possibility of such an accident and had given him the contact means for a few pawns left behind in the East. Little Vlad, a proud child of heaven, set out with disdain towards this world, embarking on his interdimensional journey.

Unfortunately, the following journey gave this genius a harsh blow with reality. He couldn't understand how the opponents discovered the weaknesses and locked onto him in such a short time, thinking everything was done flawlessly without being detected.

A series of pursuit battles caused him to lose his blood servant and completely ignited the anger in Little Vlad's heart, discarding the family mission on this trip, determined to give those ants that challenged his dignity in this country time and again a bloody lesson.

To achieve this, he must first restore his strength! So he thought of one of the many pawns in his father's contact list.

Du Guangyuan!
