63: This guy has a really dark heart.
That Disciple was startled. In the dark and gloomy depths, behind layers of ghosts, why did there seem to be something even more terrifying hunting those ferocious vengeful spirits?
This Disciple dared not think further, as the more he thought, the more his scalp tingled.
"No, that's not right. This is the space within the Infernal Ghoul Realm Diagram; it's impossible for such terrifying things that hunt ghosts to be born here!" This Disciple quickly reacted.
Then, there was only one possibility: the true existence behind those swiftly hunting ghosts, those dark gold and dark silver hands, was one of them, the Inner Sect Disciples.
Before this Disciple could figure out which Inner Sect Disciple possessed such a method, more Inner Sect Disciples saw the dark gold and dark silver hands constantly snatching ghosts from behind the layers of ghosts.
"Look quickly, something is hunting the ghosts!"
"Hiss, what astonishing methods, whose work is this, which Inner Sect Senior apprentice-brother?"
"Wait, that dark gold color looks a bit familiar!"
"That... doesn't it look like Junior Brother Lu's Puppet?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene instantly fell silent, and then everyone collectively looked at Lu Chen, who was still controlling his sword to slay ghosts.
Good heavens, truly good heavens, you said you were throwing your Puppets out to be cannon fodder?
Cannon fodder massacring in the midst of ten thousand ghosts?
Lu Chen smiled shyly: "My Puppets have 'a tiny bit' of restraint over Yin souls and ghosts."
As he spoke, Lu Chen pinched his two fingers together, then slowly raised them a little, leaving a small gap, gesturing that it was truly just a tiny bit.
You call this a tiny bit of restraint?
A tiny bit of restraint that catches ghosts like little chicks, right!
Alright, alright, deceiving feelings, are we!
Playing like this, are we!
You black-bellied fellow, you even lied to everyone saying you'd use your Puppets as cannon fodder, and made everyone praise your righteousness.
I believed your evil!
The Doujian Peak Disciples were grinding their teeth!
But Lu Chen pretended not to see. The ghosts here were too appealing; there was no way he would give up now.
Eat them all, they must all be eaten, not a single ghost can be left, because his Dao Soldiers need them, they need them very much, they need them extremely much.
After an unknown period, the ghosts surrounding the three Dongming Sect airships became fewer and fewer, and Lu Chen's Dao Soldiers were completely revealed.
Lu Chen simply stopped hiding his Dao Soldiers and directly and openly chased the ghosts to devour them.
Thus, the Dongming Sect Disciples who followed witnessed an extremely interesting scene.
The originally fierce and terrifying vengeful spirits transformed into weak and helpless lambs, being chased and killed by twelve massive dark gold Golden Armor Dao Soldiers and thirty-three dark silver Silver Armor Dao Soldiers.
To be precise, they weren't exactly being chased and killed, because the ghosts of this Infernal Ghoul Realm had no idea what fear was, only bloodlust and ferocity.
So the remaining ghosts ignored everything and frantically began to attack the Dao Soldiers. And the Dao Soldiers refused no one, eating one for every one that came, as easily as eating a buffet, making all the Inner Sect Disciples' eyes pop out.
"What profound methods have Junior Brother Lu's Puppets integrated, that they can devour ghosts so fearlessly?"
"Amazing, Junior Brother Lu's Puppet Technique is truly amazing, especially in restraining ghosts; it's unreasonably powerful. In my opinion, even the Dharma artifacts of those baldies from Buddhism might not be this exaggerated."
"It's amazing, but Junior Brother Lu's method of refining Puppets is really not that good. Look at those Puppets, each one looks like it's forged from gold and silver; you can tell it's a Puppet at a glance, not resembling ordinary people at all. It's still not up to par."
Lu Chen paid no attention to the discussions among the Inner Sect Disciples, just watched his Dao Soldiers feast, his heart already blooming with joy.
Thank you, Daoist Wu Jian, thank you for nature's bounty.
They're full, they should be full this time.
Hmm, the Dao Soldiers are full, Lu Chen has a big appetite, these ghosts are just average!
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of ghost wails could no longer be heard, and the eerie feeling also seemed to have faded considerably. Within the entire Infernal Ghoul Realm Diagram, not a single ghost's shadow could be seen.
Only twelve Golden Armor Dao Soldiers and thirty-three Silver Armor Dao Soldiers quickly returned outside the airship.
In a daze, an Inner Sect Disciple seemed to even see one of the Silver Armor Dao Soldiers burping!
This is unbelievable.
But immediately after, a new problem arose.
After the Dao Soldiers left the airship, they couldn't get back.
They were blocked by the airship's defensive formation, but Lu Chen was not worried.
Because it wasn't just Lu Chen's Dao Soldiers that couldn't return to the airship; there were also countless Flying Swords, Dharma artifacts, and spirit artifacts that the numerous Inner Sect Disciples had just released to kill the Dao Soldiers. At this moment, they were densely packed outside the airship.
The only thing Lu Chen found somewhat unbearable was that he was already impatient to see how much his Dao Soldiers had changed after devouring tens of thousands of ghosts!
Unfortunately, there were too many Inner Sect Disciples here, so he couldn't test it, fearing he might cause more trouble.
"Strange, all the ten thousand ghosts in the Infernal Ghoul Realm Diagram have been devoured by Junior Brother Lu's Puppets, why hasn't the Daoist Wu Jian outside discovered this?" A Disciple voiced the doubt in his heart.
Because this was too abnormal. Normally, the Infernal Ghoul Realm Diagram was Daoist Wu Jian's Magic Treasure. If the ghosts inside were devoured by Lu Chen's Dao Soldiers, it would be equivalent to the Magic Treasure being weakened. Daoist Wu Jian should have sensed it long ago and come to check.
But up until now, all the ghosts were gone, and there was still no sign of Daoist Wu Jian appearing, which was completely illogical.
"Could it be that the Elders outside have already injured that Daoist Wu Jian?"
"Highly likely."
The Disciples speculated one after another, but still dared not step outside the airship to explore the space within the Infernal Ghoul Realm Diagram, fearing unknown dangers.
Just then, everyone suddenly felt as if the entire space was inverting and shaking, carrying the three massive Dongming Sect airships and all the Disciples aboard them, tumbling as if the sky and earth were tilting and spinning.
At the same time, an old voice sounded, echoing in the ears of the numerous Inner Sect Disciples: "The Daoist Wu Jian of the Demon Dao has been eliminated. Disciples, come out quickly. The airship's defensive formation may not be able to hold out until the end under the attack of ten thousand ghosts."
This was the Grand Elder's voice.
But after hearing this, the Disciples instead felt a sense of absurdity as they looked at each other!
Attack of ten thousand ghosts?
In this Infernal Ghoul Realm Diagram, where are there any ten thousand ghosts?
Not even a ghost shadow is left!
What is the Grand Elder worried about?
Oh, the Grand Elder doesn't know, then it's fine!
