Chapter 24

C24 – The Puppet

When Zhang Bao saw his own father slain by Wang Shan, his hatred intensified a hundredfold.

“Wang Shan, today you will pay with your life!”

Zhang Bao seemed to have overlooked a crucial detail.

Recently, he had challenged Wang Shan to a duel to the death at the testing grounds, only to be nearly killed himself.

Subsequently, his rash intrusion into the Nine-level Tower caused his internal injuries to flare up again.

He was no match for Wang Shan.Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

Wang Shan executed the Water Condensing Arts!

Instantly, a chilling cold emanated from Zhang Bao’s feet. Except for his head, his body was encased in ice.

Wang Shan inserted a Puppet Pill into Zhang Bao’s mouth.

After Zhang Bao swallowed the Puppet Pill, Wang Shan declared, “From this day forward, you belong to the Wang family. You will obey my commands and those of Wang Tianxia!”

Zhang Bao’s gaze was vacant, as if his soul had been drained.

Promptly, Zhang Bao responded, “Yes.”

What baffled everyone was that upon becoming the head, Zhang Bao promptly prepared a generous gift for the Wang family.

“Is this from the Zhang family?”

Wang Tianxia gaped at the five large red treasure chests in disbelief.

The Wang and Zhang families had been sworn enemies. The Zhangs would have preferred to see him dead, and now they were sending gifts?

Was it possible that the sun had risen in the west?

It was natural for Wang Tianxia to be suspicious, especially since he was unaware that Wang Shan had taken control of the Zhang family the previous night.

Wang Tianxia sensed that something was amiss, but he couldn’t afford to dwell on it.

Ever since he had ingested the Great Replenishing Pill given to him by Wang Shan, he felt on the verge of a breakthrough.

Thus, for the next several days, Wang Tianxia devoted himself to his cultivation practice.

On the fifth day, he finally shattered his bottleneck, ascending to the rank of a Three-star Cultivator.

“After ten long years, I’ve achieved a breakthrough, all thanks to Wang Shan’s Great Replenishing Pill!”

Wang Tianxia observed his palms, now swirling with wind energy, his zeal for battle intensifying.

Upon exiting the secret chamber and entering the main hall, he encountered a figure clad in black who had intruded upon the Wang family. “You dare to invade the Wang family? I’ve just made a breakthrough; you’ll be the perfect test for my new level of skill.”
