196: The kindhearted heroes from all sides

'This guy, his heart is truly dark!'

Feng Jie silently widened the distance between himself and Lu Chen.

The Jiyuan Sea was shrouded in the demonic energy of the Deep Sea Giant Demons, affecting the spiritual senses of cultivators who couldn't see the situation beneath the deep sea, but the 'Heavenly Eye' deity in Feng Jie's Divine Hall could.

Lu Chen used Puppets to drive out the Deep Sea Giant Demons and attack the Heavenly Pride on the sea surface. He saw it clearly and was secretly astonished by Lu Chen's methods.

"This guy has actually refined hundreds of Puppets!"

More importantly, these Puppets seemed to control the Water Element power. Beneath the deep sea, they were even more at ease than the Giant Demons born in the sea, and their water control ability was far beyond what these low-intellect Giant Demons could compare to.

It seemed that Lu Chen's Puppets were the spirits that should have existed in the water.

Finally, Lu Chen's Puppets, he couldn't see through them!

To be precise, even the deities in his Divine Hall couldn't see through them!

This situation, Feng Jie had already discovered and experienced once when Lu Chen was Undergoing Tribulation outside the heavens.

What he didn't understand was, even the Heavenly Pride with accompanying Spirit Treasures, including Huixin from Dajue Temple, Gai Qingfeng from Martial God Palace, and Wei Wenlong from Dragon Elephant Institute, his Divine Hall deities could see through most of them, so why couldn't he see through these Puppets?

It couldn't be that Lu Chen had signs of transcendence, and these Puppets did too, right?

Then this guy was simply too mysterious and terrifying.

"Damn it, these Deep Sea Giant Demons are truly crazy!" The Heavenly Pride from the Eastern Region nations occasionally cursed in annoyance, killing one Deep Sea Giant Demon after another that attacked them.

"Evil creatures, this poor monk will deliver you!" The monks in the West also erupted in Vajra's fury, scattering Buddhist light, but it wasn't for the salvation of all beings, but to kill one Deep Sea Giant Demon after another.

"Strange, there weren't so many Deep Sea Giant Demons attacking just now. Why are these Deep Sea Giant Demons attacking us like mad now?" The Great Sword Immortal from Spring and Autumn Sword Palace frowned, but the Celestial Sword in his hand was not weak at all. It was sharp and peerless, and wherever the sword light passed, the Giant Demons were surely dismembered.

Lu Chen, however, ignored the annoyance of the various Heavenly Pride, because his Dao Soldiers were already extremely busy beneath the deep sea.

They were constantly moving around beneath the deep sea, driving and luring Giant Demons from farther away while also collecting the bodies of the Giant Demons killed by the Heavenly Pride at the bottom of the sea.

He occasionally disappeared from his Divine Hall, entering the deep sea to collect the Monster Corpses gathered by the numerous Dao Soldiers.

"This is what hunting demons is like!"

Lu Chen was pleasantly surprised. In just a little less than half an hour, the enthusiastic Heavenly Pride from various sides had already helped him kill hundreds of Deep Sea Giant Demons, the lowest of which were at the Dao Infant Realm, and there were also Yin Spirit Giant Demons.

Because he simply didn't care for weaker Deep Sea Giant Demons, and the Dao Soldiers were too lazy to drive or lure them.

If he continued like this, Lu Chen didn't even dare to imagine how fat his Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin would become.

He was afraid it would pile up to thousands or even tens of thousands.

He just didn't know if there were so many Dao Infant and Yin Spirit Giant Demons beneath this deep sea for those many enthusiastic Heavenly Pride to kill.

After all, Jiyuan Sea was too vast. Lu Chen's Dao Soldiers only drove Giant Demons within a radius of one or two thousand li. As they moved forward, they could only maintain a straight line. He didn't have time to deal with Giant Demons outside the farther range.

But whatever he got was a bonus. He might as well collect the Monster Corpses the enthusiastic Heavenly Pride helped him kill.

"Hmm?" Just then, Lu Chen suddenly felt something. His gaze instantly switched to a Divine Travel Dao Soldier comparable to the Yin Spirit Realm.

Beneath the pitch-black deep sea, a massive old turtle, seemingly larger than a mountain, was surprisingly sleeping. Its shell was already covered in various seabed mud and dust, and even coral and seaweed had grown on the mud on its back.

From a distance, it looked like an underwater mountain.

If it weren't for his Divine Travel Dao Soldier's special ability to clearly sense the life force of this giant turtle, he probably wouldn't have discovered it even if he had reached the back of this giant turtle.

"Swish!"

Silently, two huge lanterns, as large as houses, lit up. No, they weren't lanterns, but the eyes of this giant turtle!

They were dark, deep, without any fluctuations, and unlike those Giant Demons, they were not bloodthirsty and lacked intelligence.

'That Godly Staff Feng Jie was indeed right. Beneath this deep sea, there are truly Giant Demons that are not affected by their naturally bloodthirsty nature!' Lu Chen's heart pounded fiercely.

This terrifying giant turtle, he couldn't see through it, and he couldn't even sense the depth of its aura!

It was definitely an astonishingly powerful Grand Demon.

It might even be a Yang God at the eighth or ninth tribulation, or even higher.

This was not something he could provoke, nor was it something the many 'enthusiastic helpers' outside who were killing demons for him could provoke.

Stay away, must stay away, the farther the better.

In an instant, this Divine Travel Dao Soldier used water escape and disappeared without a trace.

"Puppets?" A low murmur came from the giant turtle's mouth: "Have those Human Race internal strife and cannibalizing tricks started again?"

How annoying!

The giant turtle moved its body, and a monstrous undercurrent surged beneath the deep sea, but the giant turtle had already closed its eyes again and fallen into slumber.

It was not interested in the departing Divine Travel Dao Soldier at all.

For the rest of the journey, Lu Chen's Dao Soldiers remained tireless, driving out Giant Demons beneath the deep sea, while the various Heavenly Pride traveling on the sea surface also remained warm-hearted and diligently helped Lu Chen kill demons.

The entire process lasted for nearly six hours, and Lu Chen's Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin did not disappoint, accumulating several thousand to nearly ten thousand Giant Demons.

The main reason was that the Giant Demons beneath the deep sea were too scattered, and the efficiency of the Dao Soldiers in driving them was not high. Otherwise, with the strength of the various Heavenly Pride, they could definitely have helped Lu Chen kill several times, or even tens of times, more Giant Demons.

Regarding this, Lu Chen felt a deep sense of 'regret', but his mouth occasionally curled up with a smile, highlighting his 'regret'.

"If I can digest all these Giant Demons, I will have at least ten, or even more, Wind and Thunder Dao Soldiers!"

The best outcome would be to transform all the nineteen newly acquired Spirit Treasure Swift Travel Dao Soldiers into Wind and Thunder Dao Soldiers.

Unfortunately, this was very difficult, because most of these Deep Sea Giant Demons were at the Dao Infant Realm, with only a minority at the Yin Spirit Realm.

And to rely on Dao Infant Realm Monster Corpses to transform all nineteen Spirit Treasure Swift Travel Dao Soldiers into Wind and Thunder Dao Soldiers, the required Monster Corpses would be unimaginable.

"I'll have to kill them again when I return!" Lu Chen secretly made a plan.

He could only wait until he returned to kill them again, because in front of the Jiyuan Sea, the outline of a massive island had already appeared in the distance.

Especially on that island, there were many Heavenly Pride standing in the void, their astonishing auras either connecting or colliding with each other, causing the clouds in the sky to churn violently, as if a large hole had been torn open.

"The people from Yu Chan Sect, Great Qian Dynasty, and Gu Family are all here!" A Heavenly Pride looked towards the island in the distance and murmured.

The atmosphere here also became solemn.

Because the true Qing Ming Great Cleansing would arrive soon!
