Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
MTI 190 - Doll Controller

One of the types of Dao in the cultivation world of the Blue Moon Continent was the Dao Puppet, which made cultivators whose profoundness was able to create and control puppets made of different types of materials as part of its strength.

It is a bit similar to the Ghost Dao, Corpse Dao, or even the Beast Dao. The difference was that the Dao Puppets did not use any outside help from spirit beasts, demons, or dead souls.

There weren't many puppet-control cultivators, because other than a little profound, it was quite difficult to learn this one technique as well, making it one of the rare ones.

The Dao Puppet was still preserved because almost all the members of the Bao clan from the Jade Treasure Tower were puppet-control cultivators. Bao Wei as one of the members of the Bao clan of the younger generation of geniuses was also included who was deep in this Dao.

After practicing long enough and not a little struggle, Bao Wei managed to make two human-shaped dolls that became his flagship heirloom. He gave the doll the names Xiao Dong and Xiao Xi, which were made of special metal.

Each of these two metal puppets possessed equivalent strength equivalent to an early stage Earth Foundation. If the two were used together it could equal the strength of an even late intermediate stage Earth Foundation.

The two Bao Wei puppets were equipped with a short sword and shield, thus making them able to attack or defend equally well.

Normally, Bao Wei only used one of his two navel puppets. But looking at the situation and conditions, he thought he should use two puppets together.

Coping with one of Wang Bei's demons was not necessarily possible, let alone two. Therefore, he asked for the help of Fang Jun who was skilled in controlling small weapons.

Bao Wei immediately made a move after the appearance of his two navel puppets, but he lost quickly to Yun Lian who managed to get the right moment to deliver the attack. His hand was now not only coated in blood-red Qi, but it was pitch-black.

One hard blow Yun Lian gave right at the belly of the ape demon. It might look like an ordinary punch, but it was able to make the ape demon vomit blood before it flew far and hit one of the large buildings.

Bao Wei and Fang Jun both glared in shock as the huge building that was hit by the ape demon was the Young Cultivator Meeting building. Moreover, the impact damaged the entrance and a small part of the wall.

"Miss-! You're making the problem even more complicated!"

Bao Wei complained to Yun Lian whose identity he did not know yet.

Yun Lian behaved more calmly after successfully getting rid of one of the two demons that attacked her. He stared flatly at Bao Wei.

"As long as you know, I'm in a victim position."

Not yet Bao Wei responded, Wang Bei's shouting voice rang out widely.

"Argh! Xiao Hei! You must accept the reply, Demon Girl!"

Before Wang Bei could act any further, Bao Wei and Fang Jun blocked him. They stood between Wang Bei with his demon lion and Yun Lian who was still behaving about, but had yet to eliminate the blood red Qi that enveloped his body.

Bao Wei was facing toward Wang Bei, his two immortal puppets were already connected with his ten fingers through blue Qi threads. While Fang Jun was facing towards Yun Lian with ten small blades hovering around his body.

"remove! I have to make a calculation on that girl!"

Wang Bei glared fiercely at Bao Wei. His demon named Xiao Bai growled furiously. Instead, Bao Wei who was standing behind his two immortal puppets, replied with a cold gaze.

"Brother Wang, not only did you make a mess, you also gave me no face. Don't expect me to be generous and not hold me accountable."

Wang Bei laughed sinisterly. "Brother Bao, with your status you want to sue me? It's bullshit."

"Hmph, do you think I'm afraid of your status who is the son of the Demon Lord Patriarch Wang Hao? You're wrong."

"Looks like you forgot about your purpose in coming to this town, huh? To the extent that you'd rather make a mess."

Wang Bei frowned. Bao Wei's words made him suppress his anger and be able to think a little more clearly. He then clucked softly and almost cursed after recalling his goal.

"Belier!"

An echoing voice called out Wang Bei's name, not long after a man who looked to be in his forties and wearing similar clothes with Wang Bei descended from the sky.

"Uncle..."

The man that Wang Bei called uncle was Wang Hu, Wang Hao the King of the Beast's younger brother. He became the elder who accompanied and escorted Wang Bei as the representative of the Clever Fearing Sect in the Young Cultivator Meeting.

"Bei'er, listen to this young brother's words. Don't embarrass your father's name any further."

"But Uncle..."

"Shut up."

Wang Bei was speechless because of his uncle's cold gaze and Xiao Bai's guts became faint.

"Senior, my name is Bao Wei and this is my junior Fang Jun. Let us resolve Brother Wang's problem with the lady there. Please give us face."

Wang Hu was less fond of Bao Wei's words, but given the young man's status as the son of the Treasure King as well as the Jade Treasure Tower's representative in the Young Cultivator's Meeting, it was inevitable that he would indeed have to give face.

"All right, we'd better finish it all at the meeting hall. Please take us there."

"Thank you for understanding, Senior." Bao Wei gave a respectful greeting followed by Fang Jun.

Bao Wei and Fang Jun kept back their heirlooms, then Bao Wei faced Yun Lian who was still on standby.

"Miss, you've heard everything. I beg you to cooperate."

Yun Lian did not immediately reply. He observed for a moment Bao Wei and the others before pulling back his blood red Qi. Actually Wang Hu was curious about the background of the blood red veiled girl.

"All right, I'll come with you guys."

Bao Wei could breathe a little relieved. At least he could stop the fight of the two. What still did not accept was Wang Bei who stared intently at Yun Lian full of hostility.

Bao Wei with Fang Jun brought them all to the meeting hall. While walking, Yun Lian and Wang Bei were on opposite sides and far apart. Fang Jun who was beside the girl, almost lost control due to the intoxicating fragrance that the girl's body was emitting.

As he was about to approach the meeting hall, Bao Wei sighed as he watched the several younger generations who were his guests come out and stood watching the monkey demon Wang Bei lying helplessly in front of the entrance. Even some of the guard elders were also seen there.

Bao Wei did not expect the task to be more difficult than he thought.
