Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Then, three people jumped out one after another.

One of them held a green-gold saber. He had one eye and a beard. The other two carried long swords on their backs. One had white hair and a long beard, while the other was not much different from Lin Yan and Cheng Yu’er.

Lin Yan remembered that he had seen them in other teams.

The three of them didn’t immediately prepare to run like Cao Yang and Zhu Laojiu. The saberman shouted coldly, “Where’s Prince Jing! Is this how you entertain guests?!”

However, no one answered.

Before long, bang bang bang bang!

Continuously, four to five loud bangs sounded on the surrounding ground.

Every time there was a loud bang, one or more people would jump up from below. They would either question the organizer, get angry, or wait coldly.

These people were probably all guests that Lin Yan had seen before. He did not expect them to be lured into a trap!

When they saw that Cao Yang and Zhu Laojiu couldn’t break through the black smoke barrier, their expressions changed. They rushed to the edge of the smoke barrier and repeatedly probed.

However, no one could break through the black barrier.

Everyone was trapped by the faintly discernible black smoke!

“Almost ail of these people are at the Jade Grade Noble Realm!”

Lin Yan’s pupils constricted slightly. It should be said that in every trap, there was at least a Jade Grade Noble Realm expert who jumped in!

There were a total of eight Jade Grade Noble Realm cultivators in the entire square!

“If these are all Natural People who are Jade Grade, it would be terrifying to think about it carefully…”

The Jade Grade Noble Realm was humanity’s highest combat strength. These people in front of him must be famous figures in the entire Qianyuan Mansion! But they were all brought here…

T here was clearly no connection, but Lin Yan thought of Liu Lanqing and Ling Shuangxue.

T he two of them were both of the Jade Grade Natural People, but they knew nothing about the existence of the Puppet People.

Was it the same for all the Jade Grade Noble Realms, or…

T here was a problem with the Jade Grade Noble Realm cultivators that had discovered the abnormality?!

At this moment, an extremely loud voice suddenly sounded from the top of the towering city wall.

“Welcome, distinguished guests, to this exciting Martial Arts Tournament!”

Everyone looked up and saw that at some point, a person had appeared on the top of the city wall and was standing tail.

Everyone present wasn’t weak. They had amazing eyesight and could see that person’s appearance at a glance. “Prince Jing!”

“He’s Prince Jing?”

“He looks to be in his thirties, but he’s actually so young!”

“But why is his aura completely different from what I’ve seen before?”

“He doesn’t look graceful at all. Instead, he looks like… a lunatic?”

Lin Yan also saw that the so-called Prince Jing seemed to be holding something that looked like a microphone in his hand. He was wearing an extremely gorgeous blood-red costume that looked like a Clown. His face was filled with intense fanaticism and excitement that he was trying his best to suppress.

“Prince Jing, is this how you treat your guests when you invite us here?”

The one-eyed bearded man who had slashed out earlier clearly recognized Prince Jing and shouted loudly.

However, Prince Jing looked at him with dissatisfaction and ignored him. Instead, he continued to shout loudly, “First, let us invite the first guest, the Deputy Governor of Qianyuan Prefecture, Luo Qiongying!”

More than a dozen scattered applauses sounded from all directions above the city wall.

“Over there!”

Everyone turned their heads to look behind them and saw an old woman in her sixties with silver hair walking out of the city wall. She waved in all directions, as if she was greeting the others from the city wall.

“It’s really her!”

“The Deputy Governor of Qianyuan Prefecture, the second-in-command of the Qianyuan Prefecture Administration!”

Everyone inside the wall was stunned, as if they had seen an extremely ridiculous thing. They could not believe it.

“Governor Luo! It’s me, Xue Jin from the Mist Patrol Division!”

“Governor Luo! We just met in the Divine Weapon Valley last time. Please let us out quickly!”

“Governor Luo!”

Luo Qiongying’s gaze unintentionally turned downwards. Her gaze swept across the group of Jade Grade Noble Realm cultivators trapped in the middle of the square, but she was abnormally cold, as if she was looking at a group of pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

Prince Jing continued to introduce himself loudly. “Governor Luo is our old friend. She has participated in the Martial Arts Tournament every four years since she was 36 years old. This is already the seventh time! Let me give her warm applause again!”

Pa, pa, pa, pa.

T he applause did not stop. The expressions of the people below the city wall were indeed even uglier.

Lin Yan’s heart skipped a beat. The Dingdeng Genius Battle was also held once every four years just like this Martial Arts Tournament…

Prince Jing said again, “The next person is also our old friend, Division Head

Song of the Mist Patrol Division! Everyone, welcome!”

in the crowd below the city wall, the expression of the person who had just introduced himself as Xue Jin of the Mist Patrol Division suddenly changed. “Division Head Song! Could it be…”

When a person walked out from the right city wall and waved in all directions,

Xue Jin was even more shocked. “Boss Song! It’s really you!”

T he person who came was a thin man in his forties. When he heard the voice, he glanced down. When he saw Xue Jin, he was only slightly surprised for a moment and did not care about him.

“Division Head Song has already participated in three Martial Arts

T ournaments and is very experienced. It’s said that in the past four years, he has invented a brand new Killing technique. Please wait and see later! Next, please…”

T hen, Prince Jing started to introduce them one by one. There were a total of seven people.

Lin Yan had naturally never heard of these seven people, but their names were each more resounding than rhe other. Other than rhe Prefecture Administration and the Mist Patrol Division, there was also the Security Division, the Spirit Coin Division, the Qianyuan Academy, and the veteran nobles…

They were either the first or second-in-command of an important department or the supporters behind countless capitals and forces.

If those seven people died, it was equivalent to capturing the highest authority in the entire Qianyuan Prefecture!

“Don’t tell me they are all Puppet People…”

Lin Yan felt a chill down his spine. He finally realized who had the final say in Qianyuan Prefecture!

“The last person is also the most important VIP today!” Prince Jing’s voice suddenly rose. “This VIP is a newbie in our game!

“For many years, we’ve been searching for him to join us, but we couldn’t. It’s really a pity!

“But just this year, with the help of a God’s riot, we finally succeeded in letting him join our big family!

“Now, everyone, please warmly welcome this heavyweight newbie on stage!

“Let’s give it up for the First Venerable of the Demon Suppression Division, the 76th son of Divine Lord Dafeng, Marquis Wu’an, Ling Jingming!”

Lin Yan’s breathing suddenly stopped. He instantly looked up and saw a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties slowly walk out from the platform at the side. He looked valiant and had deep eyes.

His expression was not as gentle as the others. He swept his cold gaze across the stage and his eyes landed on the people below. A slightly complicated glint flashed in his eyes.

“Since Marquis Wu’an has already fallen into the trap, Liu Lanqing and Ling Shuangxue are naturally not far away!

“The two of them are the most fierce and troublesome ones among all the Jade Grade Noble Realm cultivators!

“However, due to various coincidences and the secret protection of this cunning Marquis of Wu’an, they actually escaped danger time and time again. “Now, the situation is different. Marquis Wu’an, the next time you come, you have to bring these two girls along!”

Marquis Wu’an looked depressed and did not say anything.

“Hahaha, Marquis Wu’an has just joined us. His role hasn’t been changed yet. “However, who doesn’t have a first time? Everyone has been through this! “There’s only one chance in four years to be as willful as you want. Everyone, you have to help him!”

His words seemed to have received a response from many people above.

Lin Yan’s gaze was like a torch as he stared at Marquis Wu’an, Ling Jingming. Was he the Hou Zun that Liu Lanqing respected and was worried about after he disappeared?

What did Prince Jing mean when they had fallen into the trap?

Did that mean that Marquis Wu’an had already become a Puppet Person?

Ling Shuangxue and Liu Lanqing would also become their targets?

Lin Yan’s heart sank even more. He glanced at the many Jade Grade Noble Realm cultivators around him. The goal of this so-called Martial Arts Tournament…

Could it be that they also wanted to transform these Jade Grade Noble Realms into Puppet People?!
