86: A noble family, with dragon bloodline

After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen sent out his Dao Soldiers to wander deep underground, but still found nothing.

"Could it be that the one targeting me isn't from deep underground, but from above?" With this thought, Lu Chen again urged his Dao Soldiers to the surface of the earth, looking at the ground above, but unfortunately still saw no unknown figures.

Could it be a hallucination?

Lu Chen wavered for a moment, but quickly dismissed it. Impossible, there was no way. His intuition and warning signs had never been wrong.

Since there was a warning sign, it meant some fellow must have targeted him.

"Wait, could it be..."

"Third Elder?!"

His Five Elements Dao Soldiers had killed Li Jinyi, and Third Elder might have noticed, but that shouldn't be the case! He had cleaned up the aftermath, so Third Elder shouldn't have been able to find him. And if Third Elder had found him, why would he be watching in secret? He would have most likely directly questioned him!

"Something's not right." Lu Chen changed direction, urging his Five Elements Dao Soldiers to take him towards Night Courtyard Mountain.

That place now gathered most of the Dongming Sect Disciples, and even the True Disciples of the various Peak Lords, as well as the Elders of the various peaks. It was absolutely safe.

"Wait, with my current Dao Soldiers and strength, why should I run?" Lu Chen paused again.

He had two Five Elements Dao Soldiers at hand, and was already nurturing a third Five Elements Dao Soldier, along with numerous Golden Armor Dao Soldiers and Silver Armor Dao Soldiers. Even if a Grand Demon at the Yin Spirit Realm came, he could protect himself. But it was clear that there couldn't be a Grand Demon in this Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb, otherwise it would have been cleared out by Third Elder, Grand Elder, and the two True Disciples long ago.

Since it wasn't a Yin Spirit Grand Demon, what was there to fear?

Powerful demon beasts at the Dao Embryo Realm? He would kill them directly if they came. He wasn't afraid of them coming, only afraid of them not coming.

Lu Chen was currently chasing the powerful Dao Embryo Realm demon beast, the Earth Dragon Rat! Since he couldn't find the Earth Dragon Rat clan, waiting and killing some other Dao Embryo Realm demon beasts was also a good option.

Lu Chen carefully pondered the feeling of being targeted again. Fortunately, there was only a warning sign, but it wasn't strong, meaning that this level of danger was still far from threatening his life.

"I was just worried about not finding a Dao Embryo Realm, and you've delivered yourself to my doorstep!" Lu Chen sat down casually deep underground and immersed his mind in the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin.

At this moment, inside his Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, a Golden Armor Dao Soldier was rapidly advancing towards becoming a Five Elements Dao Soldier, using a Profound Law Realm pangolin demon beast as nourishment.

Another Silver Armor Dao Soldier was advancing towards becoming a Golden Armor Dao Soldier, using those Penetrating Aperture, Spirit Transformation, and Qi Condensation demon beasts as nourishment.

I'm waiting for my Dao Soldiers to be nurtured, what are you waiting for?

In a flash, a day had passed.

The Silver Armor Dao Soldier successfully advanced to Golden Armor, and a surge of divine power fed back, flowing into Lu Chen's internal organs, limbs, and bones, slowly strengthening his Physical Body.

However, the Golden Armor Dao Soldier corresponded to the Profound Law Realm, and Lu Chen's Body Refinement strength was also at the Profound Law Realm.

Therefore, the feedback from the nurtured Golden Armor Dao Soldier was no longer as significantly strong in enhancing Lu Chen's Physical Body.

In addition, as expected, there were still a few Penetrating Aperture Realm Monster Corpses left, but they were no longer enough to nurture another Golden Armor Dao Soldier.

"Still not making a move?" Lu Chen murmured to himself, but he was too lazy to bother with the fellow who was secretly targeting him.

Another two days passed consecutively.

On this day, Lu Chen suddenly felt the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin tremble slightly, and a surging divine power fed back, rapidly strengthening his Physical Body. This speed was much, much stronger than the feedback when the Golden Armor Dao Soldier was nurtured before.

"Five Elements Dao Soldier, the third one!" Lu Chen was overjoyed.

With three Five Elements Dao Soldiers, equivalent to three Dao Embryo Realm experts, his current strength was terrifyingly strong.

The fellow in the dark, still not showing himself?

Lu Chen circulated the Mixed Origin Undying Scripture for Body Refinement while silently waiting, but still didn't wait for the fellow who was secretly observing him.

Finally, his Body Refinement strength advanced further, successfully entering the mid-stage of the Profound Law Realm. As for the Profound Law Realm Monster Corpses, he had only consumed about twenty, with over twenty still remaining.

That old pangolin that was extremely close to the Dao Embryo Realm was quite good!

Unfortunately, the remaining twenty-plus Profound Law Realm Monster Corpses were also not enough to nurture another Five Elements Dao Soldier.

"I gave you a chance, but you're useless!" Lu Chen felt quite regretful. The fellow who was secretly targeting him still hadn't made a move, and he had lost his patience.

He could only stay in this Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb for ten days, and over eight days had already passed. With less than two days left, he had to leave, so he naturally couldn't waste it on those fellows in the dark.

It was more practical to go to Night Courtyard Mountain or Qingkong Demon Mountain to sweep up more Profound Law Realm demon beasts.

He no longer lingered and headed straight for Night Courtyard Mountain.

…………

High in the sky.

A slender and well-proportioned figure, dressed in a fiery red robe, with six red scales on his forehead and a pair of straight horns on his head, slowly opened a pair of amber vertical pupils and scanned the ground below: "He's going to Night Courtyard Mountain!"

"Unfortunately, my injuries haven't fully recovered yet." He stood up tall: "Very well, although my injuries haven't fully recovered, soul-searching a little guy who isn't even at the Dao Embryo Realm is just barely enough."

The Deer Demon beside him, who had antlers and was extremely close to human form, slightly narrowed his eyes, looking at Lu Chen, who was rapidly fleeing deep underground, and the numerous Dao Soldiers beside Lu Chen: "Your Highness just needs to soul-search this Human Race two-legged sheep. His Puppets, leave them to me."

"His Puppets can kill Dao Embryo Realm experts, they are not to be underestimated. You all must work together to keep his Puppets intact. After I soul-search him and master the Puppet Technique, his Puppets will all become my most powerful assistants. Remember not to damage my things, otherwise..." The Demon Clan with six red scales on his forehead spoke softly, with an undeniable dominance. He didn't finish his sentence, but the final two words, 'otherwise', explained everything.

If they damaged those Puppets, if the Puppets His Highness finally obtained were no longer intact, this Highness would probably be very unhappy.

And if the things this Highness had waited for three full days to obtain were not satisfactory in the end, they...

The Deer Demon and the other powerful demon beasts all shuddered!

They must, absolutely must, keep those Puppets intact, otherwise, the consequences of His Highness's wrath would be unpredictable!

What was the origin of this Highness?

Ancient Demon Clan, Red Dragon Descendant!

Although not of True Dragon Bloodline, he was still of the Dragon Clan, a True Dragon Clan Descendant, incomparable to those demon beasts who merely had the word 'dragon' but no Dragon Clan Bloodline.

This was a true noble, the most top-tier Bloodline among the Demon Clan, a royal family born at the apex of the Demon Clan. The nobility of his Bloodline was unimaginable. In the future, when he grew up, he would be at least at the peak of the Grand Demon realm, or even a Great Expert of the Demon Clan, or even a giant!

If this one was unhappy, the entire Ancient Demon Realm would tremble three times!

"Little Human Race fellow, your Puppet Technique is very suitable to be my toy, but why do you insist on running to Night Courtyard Mountain?"

"Wait another day! Wait another day, and my injuries will be completely recovered. Using soul-searching techniques will also not harm my spirit at all. You want to leave now..." The Red Dragon Descendant murmured softly, his figure already disappearing from high in the sky.

The other powerful demon beasts also seemed to scatter with the wind, leaving only lingering shadows blown away by the wind.
