206: Good stuff, too much
Indeed, with hundreds, even thousands, of Heavenly Pride from the Southern Countries with their accompanying Spirit Treasure swarming down, no matter how strong that strange Puppet is, it will die!
But the problem is, before that Puppet is shattered, how many Heavenly Pride will it kill?
And who is willing to be one of those killed Heavenly Pride?
The Ancient Shu Kingdom is strong, and the Gu Family is even stronger, but the alliance of the Southern Countries' Heavenly Pride is an act of self-preservation to avoid being cleansed by other major Sects from various sides, not to unconditionally risk their lives for the Gu Family!
"Everyone, don't forget, in the Southwest region, who calls the shots!" A Gu Family Heavenly Pride spoke coldly, "The reason you can still stand here and participate in the Qing Ming Great Cleansing is because my Gu Family is benevolent, leaving a way out for the Sects and countries you belong to. Otherwise, the Sects and countries you belong to would not be able to leave the Southwest region and would be completely swept away by my Gu Family!"
Changing the subject, "Furthermore, that Pang Feifeng is only strong because of a Puppet. How many can it fight? Under our combined siege, even a peak Yang God would die, let alone a dead Puppet. What is there to fear?
"Finally, there is no one in the Southern Countries. Without Pang Feifeng, the entire South region can be cleansed, and all resources will be shared among you."
With a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other, no matter how unwilling or displeased the numerous Heavenly Pride in the Southwest were, they could only bow their heads to the Gu Family at this moment.
Just as the Gu Family members said, the reason they could leave the Southwest and participate in this Qing Ming Great Cleansing was because of the Gu Family's 'benevolence'!
Of course, everyone knows whether it's 'benevolence' or not, but one thing is true: once the Gu Family tears off the facade, there will only be one Gu Family in the entire Southwest region!
All other Sects will be crushed into dust by the Gu Family!
"Obey the Gu God Child's command!" Hundreds, even thousands, of Heavenly Pride roared. Whether voluntary or forced, it all became meaningless at this moment.
They, after all, made their move.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect the first to fight would actually be the Southwest Gu Family!" In the Eastern Region, Gai Qingfeng of the Martial God Palace watched with relish, very amused, "That's good too!"
The Gu Family, this behemoth, originally targeted the Southern Countries. It's understandable that they are now putting all their effort into fighting Pang Feifeng in the South. After all, after defeating Pang Feifeng, the South will also be cleansed incidentally.
As for the other parties, without the Gu Family, this behemoth, they naturally have fewer concerns. Otherwise, they would have to worry about the Gu Family interfering and causing trouble when colliding with other behemoths.
Now, that won't happen.
"The foundation of the Southern Countries is indeed a bit too weak, otherwise with this Pang Feifeng and his Puppet, the South could at least protect itself!" Wei Wenlong of the Dragon Elephant Institute shook his head.
He was not optimistic about the Southern Countries, and even less so about Pang Feifeng.
No matter how strong Pang Feifeng is, he is just a Puppet. Surrounded and attacked by all the Heavenly Pride of the entire Southern Countries, even if he were made of iron, how many nails could he drive?
Ultimately, he cannot escape the fate of defeat and demise!
The key issue is that the South doesn't have a behemoth like the Martial God Palace or the Dragon Elephant Institute overseeing it. With just one Pang Feifeng, he simply can't hold the situation.
However, I've heard that there's a Dongming Sect in the South that's quite mysterious, but unfortunately, no one from the Dongming Sect has shown up yet!
"Alright, the Gu Family has unleashed their hand and begun cleansing the South. Then, my Dragon Elephant Institute should also begin cleansing the Southeast!" Wei Wenlong lightly waved his hand, just about to speak.
From the direction of the Great Qian Dynasty, Qian Changsheng finally forcibly suppressed the intense Soul-tearing pain. His bloodshot eyes stared at the simultaneous movement of the numerous Heavenly Pride from the Southwest, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl into a savage smile: "Dongming Sect! Lu Chen! Your death is near!"
Regardless of whether the Heavenly Pride from the Southwest can completely cleanse the entire South, Lu Chen of the Dongming Sect cannot withstand the siege of the entire Southwest. Even if he doesn't die, he will be severely injured.
Taking a step back, even if the Heavenly Pride from the South and Lu Chen were willing to obey Lu Chen's command and jointly resist the oppression from the Southwest, the difference is still vast, and the two are not on the same level at all.
Taking another step back, even if the Southwest retreats, he can make his final move to clean up the mess.
Finally, if the Southwest and the South both suffer heavy losses, then it won't be just his Great Qian Dynasty making a move. The Dragon Elephant Institute and the Martial God Palace from the Eastern Region, as well as Buddhism from the West, will all swarm in and divide the South and Southwest completely!
"Hmm? The Gu Family in the Southwest can't sit still!" Among the Western Buddhism, Huixin, who was as detached and refined as a Buddha Child, sat on a lotus platform, and the Buddha light in his eyes seemed to brighten slightly.
Excellent!
Pang Feifeng in the South is actually not important!
But if there is indeed a capable person among the Southern Countries who can pose a threat to the Gu Family, this behemoth in the Southwest, they don't need to completely defeat the Gu Family. As long as they can weaken the strength of the Southern Countries by 40%, no, not even 40%, as long as they can weaken it by 30%, their Western Buddhism can seize the opportunity to make a move and tear off a piece of fat meat in the Southwest.
As for the possibility of the South completely crippling the Southwest where the Gu Family is located, the Western Buddhism had never considered this.
Because the disparity in strength is too great, apart from Pang Feifeng, there are no other notable figures in the South. How can they fight?
"The Gu God Child is truly enraged!" In the South, the three Celestial Swords of the Spring and Autumn Sword Palace exchanged glances, and their hearts were all filled with joy.
No matter how the Gu Family cleanses the South, the Spring and Autumn Sword Palace still has some face, and they will not be targeted.
But Lu Chen is different. Although their Dongming Sect is mysterious and powerful, Lu Chen has completely enraged the Gu Family, and it seems that Lu Chen has no intention of revealing his hand to Gu Qingtian.
Even more interesting is that Lu Chen of the Dongming Sect seems to have gone mad, repeatedly forcing Gu Qingtian into a corner and leaving no face for the Gu Family at all.
It's as if he is silently provoking Gu Qingtian, 'If you don't kill me today, don't even think about leaving!'
Purely mentally ill!
"It's also Lu Chen's fault for being arrogant in the South, thinking that he could still act tyrannically outside the South relying on the Dongming Sect. But he didn't expect that the Gu Family is also a force with a great background and won't be afraid of his Dongming Sect!"
The three Celestial Swords sneered in their hearts and silently retreated to the side.
They wished for Lu Chen's death and naturally wouldn't exert any effort to fight against the Southwest.
"What kind of Spirit Treasure is this!" Pang Feifeng, who had originally transformed into a green light, was thrown outside the Divine Hall gate by the Void-Piercing Wind Thunder Dao Soldier. Just as he was feeling lingering fear, he suddenly caught sight of the thousand-plus Heavenly Pride arriving from the Southwest in a mighty surge, and his eyes widened in shock: "Have they gone mad?"
The other parties hadn't made any big moves yet, but the Southwest, where the Gu Family is located, actually took the initiative to start a conflict!
Aren't they afraid that Lu Chen will unleash his divine power and cripple the entire Southwest?
At that time, without Lu Chen needing to make another move, the other parties will swarm in and tear the Southwest apart.
"Brother Pang, this... what should we do?" The numerous Heavenly Pride from the Southern Countries, led by Marquis Yan, were all shocked and flustered, and they hurriedly sought help from Pang Feifeng, this 'expert'.
Not to mention that the Southwest has the Gu Family overseeing it, just in terms of the number of Heavenly Pride and experts, they are far from comparable to the Southern Countries.
There are less than five hundred Heavenly Pride in the South, while there are over a thousand Heavenly Pride in the Southwest. In the final analysis, it is because too many Sects in the South near the Southwest have sided with the Gu Family.
Although it seems that the Southwest Gu Family is targeting Pang Feifeng, once Pang Feifeng falls, the Southwest can easily cleanse the Southern Countries. They and Pang Feifeng are one entity, prospering together and suffering together.
Everyone can see this point clearly.
The key is that with just one Pang Feifeng, he simply cannot support the overall situation!
'What should I do? With Lu Chen here, and that mysterious Shen Gun (Godly Staff) Feng Jie here, you're asking me what to do?'
The one who should be panicking is the Southwest, not our Southern Countries!
Pang Feifeng composed himself and looked at Lu Chen and Feng Jie in front of the Divine Hall.
However, he saw that the Shen Gun (Godly Staff) Feng Jie at this time seemed oblivious, just silently looking at the empty roof of the Divine Hall, as if his spirit had wandered beyond the heavens.
Then he looked at Lu Chen...
Lu Chen was also looking at him, and his eyes were frighteningly bright.
"Brother Pang, I'll give you an opportunity to make a name for yourself. Do you want it?" Lu Chen's words, which seemed to carry a hint of excitement, quietly entered Pang Feifeng's ears.
Over a thousand Heavenly Pride, the lowest of whom are in the Yin Spirit Realm.
Putting aside everything else, just devouring these thousand Yin Spirits would be enough for him to upgrade all of his Five Elements Dao Soldiers into Divine Travel Dao Soldiers, and even produce at least a few more Wind and Thunder Dao Soldiers.
What made Lu Chen even more excited was that these Heavenly Pride had more than just Yin God and Yang God; they also had accompanying Spirit Treasures!
Over a thousand accompanying Spirit Treasures, Lu Chen didn't even dare to imagine what kind of scene it would be after all of them were cultivated into Dao Soldiers!
Take them down, take them all down!
Not one can be let go!
This time, he wants his Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin to eat its fill!
By the way, why isn't that treasure-delivering boy Qian Changsheng from Great Qian moving?
Lu Chen felt a little regretful and glanced at the numerous Heavenly Pride from the Northeast where Great Qian was located.
If this person also brought the numerous Heavenly Pride from the Northeast to deliver a wave, wouldn't he immediately soar?!
Of course, the fighting and killing will be done by the Dao Soldiers, by Pang Feifeng, and by the numerous Heavenly Pride from the South.
Lu Chen is very happy to give these Heavenly Pride opportunities to perform. They are young, after all, and should be tempered more, they should dare to fight and strive, and they should be full of youthful vigor!
If they're not vigorous, can they be called young people?
Therefore, Lu Chen magnanimously handed this heavy responsibility over to Pang Feifeng.
Pang Feifeng's eyes widened, and he pointed back at himself: "???"
Me?
Lu Chen nodded heavily: "You didn't hear wrong. No one else can handle such a heavy responsibility except for Brother Pang." While transmitting his voice, he also gave an absolutely affirmative look and encouragement.
Pang Feifeng: "..."
Let me say, thank you...
However, on second thought, although Lu Chen was using him as a tool, his safety was absolutely guaranteed.
Even if the Great Qian Crown Prince made a move, even if the Gu Family God Child made a move, they could not harm him in the slightest.
The key is that he knew Lu Chen; one Puppet was far from Lu Chen's full strength, not even one-tenth of it.
If Lu Chen went all out, he could definitely ensure his safety.
More importantly, Lu Chen also praised him highly, making him one of the most 'powerful' Heavenly Pride in the entire Azure Underworld.
This feeling...
Let's do it!
Pang Feifeng hardened his heart and readily agreed: "I will not fail Brother Lu's trust!"
After transmitting his voice, Pang Feifeng turned around and looked at the many uneasy Heavenly Pride from the Southern Countries, led by Marquis Yan. He waved his hand: "Everyone, follow me to meet the enemy."
The confidence in his words was evident, he was full of spirit, and his demeanor was extraordinary. Anyone could see that he was already certain of victory.
However, Marquis Yan and the other Heavenly Pride did not know where Pang Feifeng's confidence came from.
So they were still uneasy: "Brother Pang, the number of enemies and ourselves is vastly different. Do we really have to fight?"
If it's really not possible, running away is not out of the question?
If that doesn't work, surrendering is also an option!
It's better than losing their lives and having their Sects completely cleansed.
Directly defecting to the Gu Family, although they will still be reshuffled, at least there is a chance to preserve themselves, isn't there!
However, Pang Feifeng was full of spirit: "Everyone, don't worry. The advantage is with us, the general trend is with us. Let's fight. Brother Pang and Brother Lu have their own methods!"
With me and Brother Lu Chen working together, what is there to fear?
It's the Heavenly Pride in the Southwest who should be afraid!
Finally, the numerous Heavenly Pride from the South seemed to be infected by Pang Feifeng's unparalleled confidence, or perhaps they had no other choice, so they all spoke up: "We are willing to fight with Brother Pang."
"Boom!"
Nearly four hundred Heavenly Pride simultaneously unleashed their Auras, and also drew out their respective accompanying Spirit Treasures from the void. For a time, their power shook the mountains and rivers, and the wind and clouds surged.
On the other side, led by two Yang God Heavenly Pride from the Gu Family, over a thousand Heavenly Pride from the Southern Countries charged forward. Seeing that Pang Feifeng was also full of momentum, leading hundreds of Heavenly Pride from the Southern Countries to attack, they immediately sneered: "An ant trying to stop a chariot, overestimating yourselves!"
Looking over, the number of Heavenly Pride from the Southern Countries was less than half of theirs in the Southwest, not to mention there wasn't even a single Yang God Heavenly Pride. What kind of role could they play?
In contrast, their Southwest side was led by their two Gu Family Yang God Heavenly Pride, and behind them was the Gu Family God Child Gu Qingtian controlling the overall situation with the Spirit Treasure jade gourd. Once the jade gourd was unleashed, it could easily capture the Heavenly Pride from the South one by one.
Pang Feifeng's Puppet is strong and can counter the effects of the jade gourd, but how many people can it protect?
Moreover, among these Heavenly Pride, the accompanying Spirit Treasures also have special characteristics. Under their combined effort, even if they can't shatter Pang Feifeng's Puppet, they can at least briefly delay it, preventing it from interfering.
Once Pang Feifeng is dead, everything will be settled.
The Southern Countries, after all, cannot escape the fate of being completely cleansed.
"Boom!"
The great battle erupted in an instant.
There was no back-and-forth verbal sparring, nor mutual mockery, only life-and-death combat.
This is the cruelty of the Qing Ming Great Cleansing!
Countless rays of Spirit Treasure light illuminated the sky, stirring up the wind and clouds, and colliding with each other.
At the same moment, ripples appeared in the Void, and the Going Through Void Void-Piercing Wind Thunder Dao Soldier, which were feared by all sides, quietly appeared in front of Pang Feifeng. With a casual grasp, the eight great rules of Five Elements, Wind and Thunder, and Void all moved simultaneously.
"We've been waiting for your Puppet for a long time!" Ancient Chaoyang, a Yang God Heavenly Pride from the Gu Family, sneered.
They had delayed their actual attack on the Southern Countries until now, naturally because they had discussed a way to deal with the Going Through Void Void-Piercing Wind Thunder Dao Soldier.
Almost simultaneously, more than twenty peak Yin God Heavenly Pride stepped out from behind Ancient Chaoyang. They attacked at the same time, throwing out their respective accompanying Spirit Treasures, illuminating the sky with radiant treasures.
Looking around, these Spirit Treasures were all of the 'confinement' type.
There were iron chain Spirit Treasures spanning the sky, like chains of order, and there were ropes woven with divine patterns, as well as mysterious cages and divine nets...
"That's a good idea, but I've never had just one Puppet!" In front of the Divine Hall, Lu Chen's eyes flickered, and his heart seemed to beat a little faster for some reason.
There are too many good things!
