It was Zang Zeng now. A mighty cultivator, not a weak worm.
It raced onwards—until it was struck. It reflexively offloaded the pain onto the Host and rose. The Host shifted slightly, roused by the strike.
It took the Puppet Worm a moment longer to recover. It had not escaped the pain entirely, and this new foe had made the ache come back.
The thing in front of it was stopping it from completing its directives. If it did not complete its directives, the pain would come back.
But as the thing’s Qi rose, the Puppet Worm felt relief. As it reached the Earth Realm, it was even pleased.
Its Target had come to it. The Host once more despaired as the Target’s Qi flooded the area. The Host was cursing itself for some reason, muttering about the loss of good disciples.
And then the Target said something, and the Host’s Qi shuddered for a moment.
“Mind Control. Gently, please.”

Luckily, she runs into a group eager to help, one that’s low on experience and high on enthusiasm. Time for Green Lantern to play the Adult in the Room…
Honestly, I don’t see how Red Tornado manages this…
Notes:
Apologies again for the lateness. I’m still being plagued with computer problems, so it’s likely next week will be a skip week, as they say in the comics trade.
