"There is indeed a barrier in front of you. Although I don't know why you can't see it, you must not go over. I don't know if this barrier is used to transmit signals to the people inside or what."
These words made Xia Chenjing take a big step back.
He did not want to be affected by this barrier.
The puppets suddenly flew up, intending to patrol the courtyard.
Jiang Ming also discovered something about the puppets. However, he could not say anything yet.
The moment these puppets flew up, they immediately pounced on Xia Chenjing and stopped him from moving.
Xia Chenjing did not notice the movements of the puppets and was immediately knocked onto the tiles.
He wanted to ask Jiang Ming something, but he heard Jiang Ming telling him not to touch the puppets, so he did not get up.
"Xia Chenjing, let's continue to use the invisibility spell."
With that, Jiang Ming pulled Xia Chenjing's arm and turned invisible with him.
Xia Chenjing did not expect the puppet to change so quickly. He did not dare to move, but because he was in a panic, he stayed close to the wall.
Thus, he could not see the puppets' current movements. He was instantly at a loss and felt extremely annoyed.
They had only wanted to get rid of the cultivation priest, but they had already caused so much trouble before they even met the cultivation priest. He wondered if the cultivation priest had discovered them now.
The puppets began to jump non-stop. Although they seemed to be jumping with great strength, there was no sound at all.
Jiang Ming stayed still and checked the movements of these puppets.
Seeing that these puppets were not tired at all, he could not help but frown.
From the looks of it, they had to break through the barrier before they could enter, and they had to knock down these puppets.
It was impossible to sneak in. These barriers were so tightly sealed that it was impossible to crack them without making a sound.
Xia Chenjing asked Jiang Ming in his heart, "Ning Caichen, what should we do now? I don't think we can sneak in. Although I can't see the situation in front of me, I feel that it isn't optimistic. I'm afraid that no matter how long we wait, it will all be for nothing. Instead of going like this, we might as well just charge in. That way, we won't have to wait."
Jiang Ming had other concerns.
"But there are only two of us now. Not only are there so many puppets, but we also don't know how many people there are with that cultivation priest. When the time comes, we won't be able to get rid of the cultivation priest and the puppets. Instead, we'll get ourselves involved."
"I don't think we should think too much about it. Although it's a little reckless to do this now, this is the only way we can do it. I reckon that these puppets will still be here when the sun rises. Moreover, it's not convenient for us to attack during the day," Xia Chenjing made up his mind and said to Jiang Ming. "Ning Caichen, why don't you hide for now? I'll go in and take a look. If the situation doesn't look right, you can leave first. Wait for the right time to come and save me. If it's possible, come up and fight side by side with me."
Jiang Ming did not agree to let Xia Chenjing go to his death.
However, Xia Chenjing did not wait for Jiang Ming's answer this time. He rushed forward rashly again. Alas, before he could break the enchantment, he was directly stuck and trapped by the barrier.
Xia Chenjing did not expect that he would be controlled by the barrier and quickly struggled.
He did not want to be caught before he even entered.
However, the puppets suddenly became faster and carried Xia Chenjing back to the courtyard.
Before Jiang Ming could come back to his senses, he saw that the puppets had already carried Xia Chenjing away.
Seeing that there was no time to lose, Jiang Ming could not care less about what Xia Chenjing had just said. He rushed out in an instant and directly twisted the heads of those puppets off their bodies.
However, the puppets this time were different from the previous puppets. After their heads were twisted off, they could still move around randomly.
When Jiang Ming took their heads off, they suddenly became hot. Jiang Ming felt the burning heat and threw the heads out.
However, they did not roll to another place. Instead, they automatically landed back on their bodies.
Jiang Ming tried a few times and found that it was the same. He also realized that it was useless to just take the head.
As soon as Xia Chenjing knew that Jiang Ming was at a disadvantage, he quickly said to Jiang Ming in his heart, "Hurry up and leave. Don't worry about me. Don't let the puppets catch you too. If that happens, we'll really be finished. Sikong Wuyuan still needs to be treated!"
However, Jiang Ming did not intend to listen to Xia Chenjing, nor did he reply to Xia Chenjing. Instead, he dismantled the other parts of the puppets with his bare hands.
However, those parts automatically returned like the head. This made Jiang Ming feel troubled, but Jiang Ming did not feel defeated.
He immediately released his silver needles and fixed one of the puppets in place, just like he did with the face. Then, he fixed the other puppets in place.
Jiang Ming looked at the silver needles and heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he had brought enough silver needles with him. Otherwise, he would not have had enough.
The puppets had been stopped by Jiang Ming, but Xia Chen was still controlled by the barrier.
He tried to knock on the barrier, but it could not be broken at all.
He could not help but remember the barrier that Jiang Ming had used to trap him. He told Jiang Ming in his heart, "This barrier seems to be similar to the one you released. Try and see if you can open it."
When Jiang Ming heard this, he immediately made a decision. His eyes moved up and down as he sized up the barrier.
He realized that his barrier was exactly the same, but it was a few layers less powerful than his barrier.
Jiang Ming shattered the barrier with one palm. At the same time, he realized that he was not stopped by the barrier at all and had gone through it.
He thought for a moment and walked to the front of the barrier that surrounded the courtyard. With another palm strike, the barrier shattered again.
Jiang Ming could not care less about whether it would shock the people in the courtyard.
Anyway, they had already made some noise. The people in the courtyard probably already knew that something was wrong. It was no use sneaking around now.
What Jiang Ming thought was correct.
Just as Xia Chen was still tidying up his clothes, a roar suddenly came from the courtyard.
"Who barged in?"
The voice was young and powerful. It was completely unlike the voice of an old man.
Jiang Ming and Xia Chenjing looked at each other.
They knew that the cultivation priest was here.
