15: People from Dongming Sect are here!

Captain Song naturally didn't understand the divine methods of cultivators, but the huge monkey just now kept roaring, saying things like 'Gathering Earth to Form Soldiers', 'Earth Elemental Spell', 'cultivator', 'why not show yourself'. Putting it together, it wasn't hard to conclude that the stone man who saved his life was a Spell cast by an expert from the Immortal Sect.

The expert from the Immortal Sect has really arrived!

Without showing himself, his power was like thunder, sweeping away everything, killing these two violent and fierce Demon Monkeys on the spot!

Captain Song quickly recovered from his shock and fear, clasped his fists, and bowed in all directions as he spoke, "Is it the expert from the Immortal Sect..."

He didn't know where the expert from the Immortal Sect was, so he could only bow in all directions, hoping to bow in the right direction.

But what he didn't know was that the expert from the Immortal Sect was still more than ten zhang deep underground, and he didn't bow in the right direction no matter how he circled.

Before he finished speaking, a light voice echoed in his ear, "Don't make a fuss, go about your business."

Was the expert from the Immortal Sect displeased that his words were interrupted?

Captain Song stood frozen on the spot, thoughts constantly rising and falling in his mind.

'Or perhaps the demonic creatures haven't been completely eliminated yet, so the expert from the Immortal Sect still needs to hide in the dark, waiting for the demonic creatures to reveal themselves?'

Captain Song reacted quickly and waved his hand, giving the order, "Keep your mouths shut tight. Everything you saw just now, keep it buried inside you. Retreat!"

The constables and yamen runners exchanged glances, all drenched in sweat. Although they didn't understand why, they still rushed out of the woods as if fleeing, scattering away.

Before this, those streams of Earth Element, like Giant Pythons, had already coiled around the two dead Demon Monkeys and pulled them underground, making them disappear.

The stone man also merged into the Earth Element and escaped underground.

Underground, Lu Chen was carried by another Copper Armor Dao Soldier that was burrowing underground. The ground before him rippled like water, and the bodies of the two Demon Monkeys sank down from the surface.

"A Demon Monkey in the early Spirit Transformation Realm, compared to my Copper Armor Dao Soldier, the gap is actually so huge!"

He was deep in thought and took out a bamboo slip from his qiankun bag. In an instant, a wisp of heart essence blood floated out from each of the two dead Demon Monkeys and was swallowed by the bamboo slip.

This was his mission bamboo slip. He would hand in the mission at the Sect's Internal Affairs Hall later, and the Sect would need to verify it.

He put away the bamboo slip and conveniently put the two dead Demon Monkeys into the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin. Demon Monkeys in the early Spirit Transformation Realm were no longer something Lu Chen valued. They weren't enough to nurture Dao Soldiers, but they were just about right for feeding Dao Soldiers.

He then looked at the stone man Copper Armor Dao Soldier that had sunk before him, showing encouragement, "Well done."

That Copper Armor Dao Soldier seemed extremely happy from the praise, lowering its head and gently rubbing against Lu Chen's palm.

But the Copper Armor Dao Soldier carrying him under his feet seemed a bit unhappy, twisting its body. Lu Chen lowered his head helplessly, "You did well too."

Thus, the Dao Soldier under his feet immediately quieted down.

'Such a big lump, yet you still act like a baby! You want praise?'

Lu Chen silently complained, then fell into silence.

He had actually arrived at Baishui Town long ago, but had never shown himself, staying underground beneath Captain Song and the others.

It wasn't until Captain Song attacked the Demon Monkeys that Lu Chen released a Copper Armor Dao Soldier, which quickly killed the two Demon Monkeys.

And this was the Copper Armor Dao Soldier's first move. Overall, its strength was very high. Demonic creatures in the early Spirit Transformation Realm were practically helpless chicks before his Copper Armor Dao Soldier, easily killed with three punches and two kicks.

The main reason was that the Copper Armor Dao Soldier controlled the Earth Element, and its use of the Earth Element was too profound. Even Lu Chen, who cultivated Earth Elemental Spell and had Spell enhancements, admitted he couldn't compare to the Copper Armor Dao Soldier.

Another reason was that the Copper Armor Dao Soldier had strong combat instincts and immense strength. An ordinary Spirit Transformation Realm couldn't withstand the Copper Armor Dao Soldier's three punches and two kicks and would be beaten to a pulp.

Moreover, the Copper Armor Dao Soldier didn't just control the Earth Element; it also had Fire Element that hadn't been used.

This indicated that facing a demonic creature in the early Spirit Transformation Realm, the Copper Armor Dao Soldier felt there was no need to use its full strength at all.

And that was indeed the case.

Finally, Lu Chen had as many as fifteen identical Copper Armor Dao Soldiers.

If he released all of them...

Good heavens, that would be incredible!

Lu Chen secretly clicked his tongue, glad they were his own!

Speaking of which.

"Demon Monkey..."

Was it really the demonic creature causing trouble in Baishui Town?

Lu Chen wasn't entirely sure, but he always felt that everything was too smooth. If nothing unexpected happened, this matter was likely not over yet.

This was also the real reason why Lu Chen had never shown his face.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen summoned all fifteen Copper Armor Dao Soldiers and spread them out, remaining still underground throughout Wuguan County.

Copper Armor Dao Soldiers were not living beings and had no life characteristics or aura. Merged underground, they were difficult for even sharp cultivators to detect.

Furthermore, as the master of the Copper Armor Dao Soldiers, Lu Chen could see and hear everything the Copper Armor Dao Soldiers saw and heard.

These Dao Soldiers were equivalent to his eyes and ears.

"I'd like to see just how many demonic creatures there are in this Wuguan County!"

...

Wuguan County, County Yamen!

An old servant holding a broom and sweeping suddenly froze, "Spirit monkeys, dead?!"

Another Old Woman holding a rag and wiping things seemed to sense something and approached, "What happened?"

The old servant sweeping the floor slowly straightened up. The turbidity in his cloudy eyes seemed to dissipate as well, "People from the Dongming Sect have arrived!"

"Hmm?" The Old Woman asked, "How do you know?"

The old servant sweeping the floor resumed sweeping, "My two monkeys are dead!"

The Old Woman was about to speak, but then saw Captain Song leading a group of constables and yamen runners, all returning absent-minded.

She subtly raised her hand and waved it in front of a restless yamen runner's eyes. The yamen runner immediately stopped, his eyes dull and completely blank.

"Little one, what did you encounter? Why are you so restless?" The Old Woman's words seemed to carry a strange mesmerizing sound.

The yamen runner stood blankly, not speaking, seemingly struggling, but soon replied dazedly, "Wild dogs... man-eating wild dogs... dead!"

The Old Woman continued speaking, "What else? No rush, no rush, speak slowly, speak slowly."

The yamen runner said numbly, "Also Demon Monkeys... dead... Captain Song... wouldn't let us talk!"

The old servant sweeping the floor's cloudy eyes suddenly became clear, exceptionally sharp.

The Old Woman raised her hand and pressed it down gently, signaling the old servant to be quiet, while still asking, "Who killed the Demon Monkeys?"

The yamen runner said, "Stone man... A stone man killed the Demon Monkeys."

Stone man?

The Old Woman frowned in thought, "Earth Elemental Spell, Gathering Earth to Form Soldiers?!"

She asked again, "Whose stone man was it? Did you see him?"

The yamen runner shook his head blankly.

The Old Woman pondered for a long time, then waved her hand over the yamen runner's face. The yamen runner immediately woke up, looked at the Old Woman and the old servant sweeping the floor with confusion, and hurried away.

Damn it, why did I get confused!

"The people from the Dongming Sect haven't shown themselves, they are cautious!" The Old Woman said hesitantly, "Could it be that the Dongming Sect has already sensed something?"

The old servant sweeping the floor continued sweeping, "My spirit monkeys didn't die for nothing!"
