216: The puppet's real master is in the temple
"Martial God Palace and Dragon Elephant Institute are about to make a move!" The Heavenly Pride from all sides brightened their eyes.
Whether it was the four directions of East, West, South, and North, or including the Southwest, Northeast, etc., on the surface, the Eastern Region was the most powerful and the most massive side.
The Southwest had only the Gu Family, which had now been beaten into a bare commander by the South and Western Buddhist Sect, and could almost be disregarded.
The Western Buddhist Sect was one entity, the North had only the 'Yu Chan Sect', the Northeast also had only the Great Qian Dynasty, and the South had only a fellow whose Puppet Technique reached the heavens. Only the Eastern Region not only had a 'Martial God Palace' but also another equally colossal entity, the 'Dragon Elephant Institute'.
These two colossal entities were both in the Eastern Region and were naturally mortal enemies in normal times, but on this Qing Ming Great Cleansing, if they joined forces, they would be the absolute overlords!
Previously, only two Yang God Realm Heavenly Pride from the Eastern Region's Martial God Palace and Dragon Elephant Institute stepped out, fought a battle with the Heavenly Pride monks of the Western Buddhist Sect, and then became entangled with the Heavenly Pride of the Great Qian Dynasty, which had not stopped until now.
But besides that, this colossal entity in the Eastern Region had never truly made a move.
With the Eastern Region not moving, all sides were actually apprehensive, and it was fortunate that at this moment, this colossal entity in the Eastern Region finally moved.
As the truly top Heavenly Pride of the Dragon Elephant Institute, Wei Wenlong, spoke, a Heavenly Pride who was also in the Yang God Realm quickly stepped out from among the many Heavenly Pride in the Southeast.
His appearance was ordinary, but he inexplicably gave people a sense of peace, as if all directions were in turmoil, but he stood firm. However, after he stepped out, he did not look at Gai Qingfeng of the Eastern Region's Martial God Palace, nor did he look at Wei Wenlong of the Dragon Elephant Institute, but instead looked towards the many Heavenly Pride of the Southern Countries from afar and spoke loudly: "Fellow Daoist, can we talk?"
"Interesting." Gai Qingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, slowly crossed his arms in front of his chest, and stood still.
Wei Wenlong raised an eyebrow, originally intending to be angry, but seeing Gai Qingfeng stop, he also held back his breath. If it were in normal times, if this person dared to ignore his question, he would have already been torn in half by him!
'Who is this person going to talk to?'
The Heavenly Pride of the Southern Countries looked at each other, and then as if by telepathy, they all looked at Pang Feifeng.
The only Heavenly Pride in the entire Southern Countries who could be called a Fellow Daoist by a Yang God Realm Heavenly Pride from the Southeast was Pang Feifeng, the Heavenly Pride whose Puppet Technique reached the heavens. Besides him, there could not be a second person.
Pang Feifeng also thought so, so after exchanging glances with Lu Chen, he stepped onto the high sky and looked towards the inexplicably reassuring Yang God Realm Heavenly Pride in the Southeast: "What does Fellow Daoist want to talk about?"
That person looked at Pang Feifeng and shook his head: "You are not the master of those Puppets."
Since he was not the true master of the Puppets, he naturally did not have the qualifications to talk to him.
As soon as these words came out, countless Heavenly Pride were stirred. They were all watching the scene, which once had a boiling momentum. Even many Heavenly Pride who were originally paying attention to the great battle in the Western Region all looked over here.
"Pang Feifeng is not the master of the Puppets? How does he know?" A Heavenly Pride questioned.
"If these words are true, then within the Southern Countries, there must still be a truly peerless Heavenly Pride hidden!"
"Hiss, without revealing his strength, he can easily defeat the Southwest, and even destroy the Great Qian Crown Prince's five Yang God Realm Clones, and then enter the Western Region battlefield to forcefully seize the spoils. If this is really the case, this hidden Heavenly Pride is amazing!"
Countless Heavenly Pride were secretly shocked, only feeling that the more they thought about it, the more terrifying it became.
Even Monk Huixin of the Western Buddhist Sect couldn't help but look towards the South during the battle.
Shen Qingyu of the Yu Chan Sect in the North, who was like a Celestial Maiden in the clouds, also got up from her jade carriage and looked towards the South.
In the Northeast, Qian Changsheng, who was still trying his best to eliminate the pain of his torn Divine Soul, tightly clutched the handrail on the side of the treasure carriage: "Dongming Sect's Lu Chen, it's you!"
Indeed, what the waste Thunder Sword Immortal of Spring and Autumn Sword Palace said was true. The person whose Puppet Technique reached the heavens was not Pang Feifeng at all, but someone else.
"It seems that what Wang Wanli said is not wrong. The person who controls these strange Puppets is not Pang Feifeng." Gai Qingfeng pondered, and then looked at the unassuming Heavenly Pride in the Southeast, 'This person is probably not a simple character!'
Even he couldn't see through Pang Feifeng, but this person revealed it with a single sentence. To say that he didn't have some skill would be seeing a ghost.
"There's still a real 'big shot' hidden in the South?!" Wei Wenlong's heart moved, and he couldn't help but look towards the South.
To be honest, Pang Feifeng's strength was extremely weak. Not to mention competing with truly powerful Heavenly Pride like them, even any random Yang God Realm Heavenly Pride, or even those stronger Yin God Realm Heavenly Pride, could beat Pang Feifeng into a mess.
But it was precisely such a weak and unnoticeable person who was exceptionally skilled in Puppet Technique, and even his prominence once surpassed that of truly powerful Heavenly Pride like them. Even the monks of the Western Buddhist Sect, who were always difficult to deal with, repeatedly tolerated him.
Logically speaking, Wei Wenlong looked down on Pang Feifeng. Without those Puppets, Pang Feifeng was nothing, and he could crush him with one hand.
However, upon hearing the unassuming fellow from the Southeast speak, the person whose Puppet Technique reached the heavens seemed not to be Pang Feifeng. Wei Wenlong immediately became extremely interested.
Indeed, how could a waste like Pang Feifeng be considered a Heavenly Pride who could stand shoulder to shoulder with them?
It had to be a true expert who didn't show off his strength to have the demeanor of a master!
Although the person was not seen, everyone saw him, and everyone knew him!
This was a master!
Very good, very good!
On the other side, Pang Feifeng was not angry but surprised, 'He saw through it?!'
From the moment he was pushed out by Lu Chen until now, no one had ever seen through him. This unassuming fellow in front of him was the first!
This time, even Lu Chen, who was busy having the Going Through Void Void-Piercing Wind Thunder Dao Soldier 'collect corpses' on the Western Region battlefield, was surprised and took the time to look at the Heavenly Pride in the Southeast.
'How did he see that the Puppet master wasn't Pang Feifeng?'
Lu Chen suddenly became a little interested and immediately transmitted his voice to Pang Feifeng without a sound.
"Do you also want to test the bravery of my Puppets?" Pang Feifeng glared coldly.
That person tilted his head slightly, and in an instant, a mysterious dark gold ancient mirror with a handle appeared out of thin air on his shoulder. On the mirror surface, vaguely, it seemed to reflect Pang Feifeng's figure: "My Spirit Treasure will not lie."
Countless gazes were cast towards that ancient mirror, but in the end, everyone was confused.
Although it was indeed somewhat extraordinary to be able to reflect Pang Feifeng's appearance from dozens of miles away, what did that represent?
Pang Feifeng didn't know why, but vaguely, he felt a chill down his spine, as if he had been stripped naked and exposed in broad daylight!
Others might not feel it, but Pang Feifeng could. He also knew that this fellow in front of him had truly seen through him, that he was a fellow, and that he had a problem!
However, that person remained silent, but the ancient mirror beside him suddenly turned and shone on the Going Through Void Wind and Thunder Dao Soldier that had suddenly walked out of the Void on the Western Region battlefield and snatched away the corpse of a fallen Heavenly Pride.
Vaguely, on the body of that Going Through Void Wind and Thunder Dao Soldier, there seemed to be an invisible and formless 'thread' extending out, but the connecting point was not Pang Feifeng, but it kept extending, extending to a Divine Hall.
At this moment, all the Heavenly Pride's hearts trembled, and they suddenly realized: "The true master of the Puppets is in the Divine Hall!"
Chapter break
In the Divine Hall, Lu Chen looked at the ancient mirror in the hand of the 'unassuming' Heavenly Pride in the Southeast from afar, and his heart was suddenly unprecedentedly calm: "A very interesting Spirit Treasure."
But precisely because it was interesting, he also felt an unprecedented impulse in his heart.
'This person, cannot be kept!'
Today, no matter who comes, this person must enter his Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin to enjoy the 'Transcendent Dao Fruit'.
On this Jiyuan Sea, it is not allowed for someone who can see through his Dao Soldiers to exist, nor is it allowed for someone who can find him, the master of the Dao Soldiers, through the Dao Soldiers, to exist.
Lu Chen knew that there were countless Heavenly Pride in this world, and he also knew that among the accompanying Spirit Treasures, there were countless special and mysterious treasures, but coincidentally, this fellow's Spirit Treasure was used on him!
If he did not enter the Immortal Coffin, Lu Chen would feel uneasy!
Feng Jie, who was beside him, silently glanced at Lu Chen twice, and then silently retreated to the side, 'This guy is very dangerous now!'
"Brother Feng, can you calculate what is mysterious about the ancient mirror in that Fellow Daoist's hand? I see that the ancient mirror is extraordinary and must have immeasurable power!" Lu Chen suddenly spoke, looking calmly at Godly Staff Feng Jie.
Feng Jie was silent for a moment. This time, he did not look up and get distracted, but just shook his head: "That ancient mirror has great danger. It can see 'cause' and 'effect', and it can see the 'source' of everything. I cannot look directly at it!"
'It's actually that powerful?!' Lu Chen's heart stirred. Even Godly Staff Feng Jie was wary of it, so that fellow's ancient mirror...
Lu Chen didn't know about others, but he knew about Godly Staff Feng Jie. He was very mysterious and had many methods, but this guy kept a low profile and didn't like to show off. Otherwise, with this Godly Staff's strength, Lu Chen was sure that even if Gu Qingtian or Monk Huixin from the Western Buddhist Sect came, Feng Jie might not be unable to compete with them.
But now, towards that ancient mirror, Godly Staff Feng Jie was so wary!
'Could that guy be even stronger than Gu Qingtian and Qian Changsheng?'
Interesting!
The more special and powerful the accompanying Spirit Treasure, the more Lu Chen liked it!
He took a step out, no longer staying behind the scenes, stepping on the Void and ascending step by step to the high sky, appearing beside Pang Feifeng.
He patted Pang Feifeng's shoulder, and Pang Feifeng immediately understood, silently retreating back into the Divine Hall.
It was also at the moment Lu Chen appeared that the ancient mirror in the Southeast suddenly began to flicker continuously. The reflection on the mirror surface shattered and reformed, reformed and shattered, as if it was about to disintegrate.
Lu Chen just quietly looked at the ancient mirror, not saying a word.
After a long time, the ancient mirror finally stabilized with difficulty and became completely clear. It only showed the Going Through Void Wind and Thunder Dao Soldier, and the seemingly non-existent 'thread' slowly extended from the mirror surface, finally connecting to Lu Chen.
At this moment, on the Jiyuan Sea, a 'noisy' wind seemed to suddenly blow!
"So he is the master of the Puppets!" Wei Wenlong's eyes lit up, and his gaze immediately shifted from the ancient mirror and fell on Lu Chen.
He saw that he was wearing a purple-gold white jade crown, a Dharma robe embroidered with great sun gold patterns and Golden Crow divine birds, and an Flying Celestial Treasure Seal on his waist. His appearance was heroic and handsome, his figure was tall and straight, and he had an extraordinary demeanor.
"Dao Infant Realm?! But why does he feel so dangerous to me?" Shen Qingyu of the Yu Chan Sect in the North, who was sitting on the jade carriage, had a difficult expression.
"It's really him!" In the Northeast, Great Qian Crown Prince Qian Changsheng on the treasure carriage immediately showed killing intent in his eyes.
This person, he could not be mistaken. On the Lingguang cultivation world, the one who killed his Spirit God and then killed the Crown Prince Preceptor was him.
Wang Wanli, who was fighting with the Great Qian Champion Marquis, inexplicably shivered and hurriedly turned his back, 'This fierce person is clearly in the Body Refinement Yang God Realm, who is he showing the Body Refinement Dao Infant Realm to! Bah!'
"How do you want to talk?" Lu Chen's expression was calm as he looked at the Heavenly Pride in the Southeast with the accompanying ancient mirror, and at the same time, he looked at that ancient mirror.
Unconsciously, the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin in his Sea of Consciousness trembled slightly.
At this moment, everything reflected on the mirror surface suddenly disintegrated, turned into Void Chaos, and finally fell silent, and the mirror surface immediately became blurred.
"Hmm?" The unassuming Heavenly Pride in the Southeast inexplicably swayed, a flicker of surprise and doubt flashed in his eyes, and then returned to normal. The accompanying Spirit Treasure ancient mirror beside him also disappeared.
'My Spirit Treasure has been blocked by an extraordinary object. This person...'
He took a deep look at Lu Chen, and then spoke indifferently: "Fellow Daoist, how about forming an alliance with my Southeast side?"
The Southeast and the South are adjacent, and the key is that neither side has colossal entities like the Martial God Palace, Dragon Elephant Institute, Great Qian Dynasty, or Yu Chan Sect. It is too disadvantageous. If the two sides form an alliance, with Lu Chen, whose Puppet Technique reaches the heavens, and the combined efforts of his thousand-plus Heavenly Pride in the Southeast, even the strongest Eastern Region would have to carefully consider if they wanted to move against them!
This was a mutually beneficial act.
However...
Lu Chen shook his head: "Not interested."
Alliance?
If we form an alliance, how can I invite you into the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin?
If we form an alliance, how can I give you the 'Transcendent Fruit Position'?
That person's expression was surprised: "I think Fellow Daoist should know the benefits of our two sides forming an alliance."
Lu Chen nodded: "I know."
But he didn't need it.
In terms of strength, he alone could sweep one side. In terms of background, who was the Dongming Sect afraid of?
"May I ask which celestial mountain Fellow Daoist cultivates on, and what is your name?" That person became even more puzzled, so he asked again.
He couldn't understand where Lu Chen's confidence came from.
"Dongming Sect, Lu Chen!"
'Dongming Sect? Never heard of it!' That person shook his head. This was not a colossal entity that could be compared to the Dragon Elephant Institute or the Great Qian Dynasty, so it was naturally impossible for him to know about it. As for the Spring and Autumn Sword Palace in the South, he had heard a little, but it seemed that even giant entities like the Gu Family didn't pay attention to it.
However, he had never heard of it, but the true overlords from other sides were all moved.
"Dongming Sect, he is the person from the mysterious Dongming Sect?!" At this moment, whether it was Gai Qingfeng of the Martial God Palace, Wei Wenlong of the Dragon Elephant Institute, Qian Changsheng of the Great Qian Dynasty, or Shen Qingyu of the Yu Chan Sect, and Monk Huixin of the Western Buddhist Sect, they all couldn't help but look at Lu Chen.
There were many true overlords on this Azure Underworld, and some had very significant backgrounds, but the only one that even the older generation great figures in their Sects had to specifically remind them not to easily provoke was the Dongming Sect!
You tell me, is this family strong or not strong?
