Chapter 693 - 336: The Lu Family Corpse Ancestor, the Leng Sect’s Fright
"The old thing is dead."
"Good riddance, good riddance indeed."
"Fly quickly, don’t hold me back, and also don’t let the ones who killed the old thing catch up with us."
"Oh wow!"
A cacophony of sounds echoed through the sea of clouds.
Suddenly, the Dark Evil Night Evil, originally swirling with evil wind and Nether Blue Flame, abruptly stirred at this moment. The invisible Dark Evil unexpectedly launched a counterattack towards the Top-Grade Golden Core atop the Bone Serpent Giant Puppet.
The evil wind also suddenly shifted, overwhelming the sky as it pressed down, while the Night Evil spewing Nether Blue Flame fiercely dove into the flame, swirling it into waves that crashed into the Bone Serpent Giant Puppet.
"Dead."
"Truly dead!"
The Dark Evil Night Evil issued cries of shock followed by exclamations of joy.
"Kill the people from the Brute Puppet Sect."
"Yes, yes, yes... Quickly, quickly, quickly... We can’t let them escape. Help me catch that bald old hag; she helped the old thing slaughter my entire clan, turning me into an extreme evil wandering soul. I want to pull her tendons, drink her blood... hahaha, I also want to dig out the demon spawn from her belly, dig it out!"
In the next moment.
The group of Golden Core cultivators from the Brute Puppet Sect turned pale.
As a branch of the Spiritual Puppet, they understood well the circumstances surrounding the betrayal, defection, and escape of a Spiritual Puppet. They also suddenly realized that the ancestor was just a puppet substitute.
Even the puppet substitute fled, meaning what? It meant the ancestor’s Divine Soul had already perished.
"Retreat!"
"Quick retreat!"
The group of Golden Core cultivators from the Brute Puppet Sect transformed into startled swans, attempting to scatter, yet the evil wind and Nether Blue Flame were quicker. In an instant, ten individuals were intercepted, their Magical Artifacts rendered useless at that moment. Just as they wanted to employ Escape Techniques and talismans, the prohibition upon the Spirit Puppet’s restriction had already been enacted.
The ten attempted to force their way through, but upon witnessing one person entering the evil wind and Nether Blue Flame only to ignite in an instant, stunned, and subsequently torn apart by Dark Evil and Night Evil, the remaining nine retreated repeatedly in shock.
Not daring to advance a single step further!
Watching from afar, the smiles on Deng Lai and others also froze in that moment because they too knew the situation of the Spiritual Puppet. But knowing this, even they could hardly believe it.
Yet, disbelief or not, it was fact.
"Lu Feng has not fallen, yet the Master of Many Evils hiding in the shadows has perished first." Deng Lai shouted in shock, then suddenly realized something, "No, no, no!"
Three breaths later.
Deng Lai shouted once more, "So this is the reason Lu Feng showed me no respect? So this is why Lu Feng dared to protect Lu Chan? What was the old fellow playing at before? Are we to believe the rumored injury to the Divine Soul was just an act?
No, the injury to the Divine Soul was indeed real; the intelligence from the Spirit Suppression Department also indicated that Longteng Qianyue might have indeed attempted to ambush Lu Feng. But then Longteng Qianyue suddenly stopped troubling the Lu Family, and instead started confronting Qi Guang Sect, revealing that the Lu Family always had someone backing them, always had someone..."
Deng Lai’s murmuring persisted, making the nearby Golden Core cultivators increasingly solemn, unable but to secretly marvel at the depths at which the Lu Family had hidden itself. No wonder they could produce a Top-Grade Golden Core before; it turned out they had always been concealing their strength.
The members of the Lu Family, including Lu Taixuan and the Lu Family Elders, were equally baffled by the abrupt change, but soon, upon recalling certain details, they became increasingly joyful.
Lu Feng also spoke at that moment, "The Master of Many Evils is dead; immediately communicate to all major branches to launch a full-scale attack on the Brute Puppet Sect, seizing all their territories within the Celestial Yin Mountain Range as quickly as possible."
The master required blood essence, and the Brute Puppet Sect had many resource territories within the Celestial Yin Mountain Range, perfect to assist the master’s cultivation.
Lu Chan nodded curtly, "All Lu Family members, heed the order; take up your evil qi and march towards the Brute Puppet Sect!"
Although the other Lu Family members were unaware of the situation, even the dullest among them could discern the shift from defense to offense in the current situation.
"Kill!"
"Slaughter those mangy curs!"
"The Longteng Family has humiliated us enough, and why should the Brute Puppet Sect get away with it; now it’s our turn!"
Once desperate, the Lu Family now burned with rage, their eyes brimming with lethal intent, and seeing the Bone Serpent Giant Puppet continuously struggle and wail in the Nether Blue Flame only boosted their confidence.
Wen Jiu observed this scene quietly, ignoring the battle outside Cold Pond Mist Valley, focusing instead on another Celestial Secret Hidden Spirit Puppet while glancing at the Formless Demon Cultivator hidden in the shadows.
Clearly.
The Dark Altar Lineage was also concentrating on the battle at Cold Pond Mist Valley, but fortunately, apart from this Early Stage of Demon Core Formless Demon Cultivator, no other Dark Altar Demon Cultivators were lurking in the shadows, nor were there other Demon Cultivators on the outskirts of Celestial Yin Mountain Range.
This piqued Wen Jiu’s curiosity about what the Demon Cultivators were up to in the core area of Celestial Yin Mountain Range; not even showing up for such amusement, were they cautious of Divine General Nangong Huan?
However, curious as he was, Wen Jiu maintained his plan, choosing not to concern himself temporarily with the core area affairs of Celestial Yin Mountain Range.
After the Inorganic Hidden Spirit Puppet flew escape techniques for several miles, Wen Jiu ensured no one followed before commanding the East Spring Undying Bone to appear and control the chaotic Divine Soul within the puppet.
But he didn’t seize the soul.
As seizing the soul would destroy this Inorganic Hidden Spirit Puppet.
Not being a Puppet Master from the Spiritual Puppet Lineage, repairing it would surely not be a task accomplished overnight. Fortunately, once ownerless, refining them with the strength of East Spring Undying Bone’s Divine Soul was not difficult.
"One more squeak and you’ll all die!"
Wen Jiu issued a warning, and once the souls within the puppet ceased their chirping, he stored it in his pouch.
...
Returning to Cold Pond Mist Valley, the Dark Evil Night Evil had already slaughtered the Golden Core cultivators from the Brute Puppet Sect, leaving them in disarray.
