Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 62 - 60: A Gentleman Seeks Revenge and Does Not Delay Overnight!

War God Society!

The strongest among them are the three great War Gods, all of whom are late-stage True Qi Realm experts, and He Qin is one of them.

The War God Society hunts cultivators outside Crying Swamp, and although it may not happen even once every three to five years, or even over a decade, the cumulative results over dozens to hundreds of years are significant. They have killed a great number of cultivators and obtained no small amount of items from the Cultivation World.

Relying on these talismans, talismanic devices, and secret techniques, even Daoist Miao Yin can only cower in Miao Yin City to protect himself.

Today, He Qin stepped forward to lure Daoist Miao Yin out of Miao Yin City, providing an opportunity for people like Zhu Yunshan to take the Lu siblings away by force.

Originally, they thought that with three experts of the Mid-stage True Qi Realm like Zhu Yunshan, taking down three juniors would be an easy task.

However, they never expected the puppets to be so fierce, causing the three people Zhu Yunshan to lose their lives, all falling in Miao Yin City.

He Qin, who was supposed to restrain Daoist Miao Yin, ended up being killed by Daoist Miao Yin himself.

Now.

The War God Society has lost three top experts and one apex master, surely making them feel as if they are coughing up blood!

"War God Society!"

After listening, Lu Qingshan said hatefully, "We must not let them off easily!"

Lu Qingfeng glanced at Daoist Miao Yin.

However, Daoist Miao Yin's gaze was drifting over the 'black-clothed man' in the courtyard. Over this period, the number of puppets made by Lu Qingfeng had increased from seven to fifteen.

Because of their vigilance against the War God Society's actions, only three puppets were outside, and the remaining twelve were all here.

"This is—"

Daoist Miao Yin's brow slightly furrowed.

This was her first time seeing the legendary 'black-clothed man.' Previously, she thought that they were experts cultivated by someone behind Lu Qingfeng. But now, upon a closer look and sensing a bit, she realized there was not the slightest bit of life energy on the black-clothed man, definitely not a living person. They also lacked the aura of bloodthirst, and were neither refined corpses.

"Are these puppets?!"

Daoist Miao Yin's pupils slightly constricted, momentarily shocked. Immediately, a flash of spirit light crossed her mind. She had previously speculated that Lu Qingfeng's collection of ores, metals, and other special materials such as beast tendons, could be for Artifact Refining.

Now it seems, it must be for refining these puppets!

But within the region of Three Mountains and Nine Waters, the art of Puppet Technique is but a minor path, not widespread nor prominent, and few cultivators adept at making puppets are seen. She wondered whether these puppets were actually refined by this young man before her or by someone else?

Lu Qingfeng did not respond, and changing the subject, he asked, "How much do you know about the War God Society, City Lord?"

...

Fujiang Cliff.

This place is a peculiarly scenic cliff and also the headquarters of the War God Society.

On this day.

Two of the great War Gods, seven Great Elders, and thirteen Hall Masters of the War God Society gather together. Their expressions range from serious to unsightly, creating a solemn atmosphere.

The War God Society originally had three War Gods—

Gale Battle God He Qin!

Thunderclap Battle God Duan Zhang!

Violet Lightning Battle God Wang Yan!

Following the death of He Qin at the hands of Daoist Miao Yin, only Duan Zhang and Wang Yan remain.

Duan Zhang, dressed in a black Strong Shirt with a square face, said solemnly, "Daoist Miao Yin concealed her strength, and Brother He was caught off guard, resulting in his demise. Chen Ke, Zhu Yunshan, and Tang Jun all failed simultaneously. Zhu Yunshan and Tang Jun have been confirmed dead. With no news of Chen Ke, his fate is more likely unfortunate than not."

"What do you think, sirs, shall we deal with Miao Yin City and the Lu siblings next?"

Duan Zhang looked around, aside from Wang Yan, no one dared to meet his gaze.

He Qin is dead!

The three mid-stage True Qi Realm experts, Chen Ke, Zhu Yunshan, and Tang Jun, are also dead!

No matter whether it's Daoist Miao Yin or the Lu siblings, their strength far exceeded their expectations. Now that the Lu siblings have not been captured, losing four top experts is also a heavy blow to the War God Society.

What's more crucial, following the example of the Returning to Truth Sect, they had to consider the potential retaliation of the 'black-clothed man.'

"It's my view that we strike first and strike hard. We muster our large army and the society's top experts to completely eradicate Miao Yin City in one fell swoop!"

One of the seven Great Elders, a lanky man with triangular eyes, spoke in a sinister voice.

"This is inadvisable."

"Miao Yin City has three hundred Black Armored Army, and Daoist Miao Yin also has spiritual beasts at her command. The Double-Headed Duck moves with ease, and the Silver Armored Horned Python is thick-skinned and tough, comparable to a peak True Qi Realm expert. Acting rashly would carry too great a cost!"

From the seats of the elders, a senior shook his head and spoke calmly.

"Then what does Elder Mu think is the best course of action?!" The triangular-eyed man snorted coldly, his tone unpleasant.

"The Lu siblings may be young, but they have a mysterious person backing them. That person's black-clothed men come and go without trace. The Returning to Truth Sect was first harassed by the black-clothed man and, unable to bear it, retreated to Jiuzhai County. Later, they were attacked on Yellow Ganoderma Mountain by the black-clothed man and completely destroyed!"

"Such a force has nothing to do with our War God Society. I never agreed with making a move on the Lu siblings from the start. How important can a few bumpkins be? Even if you bring them to Fujiang Cliff, are you confident you can lure out the mysterious person behind them to risk a rescue?"

"Now that we have failed, let's just wait for the black-clothed man's retaliation!"

Elder Mu's voice was hoarse but carried conviction.

"Elder Mu's words are off the mark!"

"Three country bumpkins being together with that mysterious person shows how important they are to him! Once captured, everything will become clear. Even if it doesn't lure him out, we can still be prepared. What's wrong with this action?!"

The triangular-eyed man said with a gloomy face, mockingly, "It seems Elder Mu is living more in the past with his age!"

Elder Mu was about to respond leisurely.

"Stop arguing!"

Duan Zhang interrupted the two and said aloud, "Let's put aside those three small fry in Miao Yin City for now. As for the person behind them, Elder Mu need not be pessimistic. As Elder Mu said, it doesn't matter that the three kids are unharmed. Even if they were really captured by us, we still might not draw that person out."

"War God Society has stood in Upper Sun Country for many years, and we are not an organization that anyone can just take revenge on. Thirty years ago, Miao Yin was dominant and the spiritual beasts were tyrannical, but in the end, she still holed up in Miao Yin City, didn't she?"

After Duan Zhang spoke, Elder Mu did not agree or disagree and did not speak further.

"That's right!"

"We're not the useless lot from Returning to Truth Sect!"

"If the black-clothed man dares to come, we'll make sure he never returns!"

A few elders and Hall Masters confidently echoed Duan Zhang, though many of the elders and Hall Masters had a hint of worry in their eyes.

It was clear they were not optimistic.

This included Duan Zhang and Wang Yan at the forefront.

At this moment.

Someone rushed in to report—

"Black-clothed men appeared in Fengtun County, killing thirty-four members of the War God Army!"

"Black-clothed men appeared in Luodan County, killing forty-six members of the War God Army!"

"Heng Mountain County has been troubled by a Black-clothed Man, who has killed seventy-two members of the War God Army!"

"Lanjiang County has been troubled by a Black-clothed Man, who has killed eighty-seven members of the War God Army!"

...

As Duan Zhang's voice echoed in the great hall, the incoming war reports smacked Duan Zhang's face like a resounding slap, as well as the faces of the overconfident and complacent elders and hall masters, represented by the man with triangular eyes.

Elder Mu's expression remained unchanged.

The others, however, turned as dark as soy sauce, an extreme blackness!

Revenge came swifter than anticipated.

A dragon has its reverse scale!

This phrase may sound adolescent, but it is quite fitting for Lu Qingfeng. He had devoted himself to cultivation so that he and his siblings, [Lu] Qingshan and Qingyu, would not be threatened.

Just as the Returning to Truth Sect had been eradicated, the War God Society had to create more trouble.

Lu Qingfeng was livid with anger.

He learned from the Daoist of Miao Yin that it was the War God Society who had taken action. And from other sources, he knew that people like Zhu Yunshan and Tang Jun were indeed members of the War God Society.

Revenge is a dish best served immediately!

That very evening, Lu Qingfeng sent out eight of his fifteen Puppets, heading straight for Dangyang County!

Four were dispatched to the four counties of Dangyang County to hunt down the War God Army under the War God Society, announcing the arrival of retribution. The other four lay hidden outside the War God Society's headquarters at Fujiang Cliff.

Anyone descending the mountain would be killed without mercy!

The retribution was exceptionally fierce.

To be precautious, Lu Qingfeng left Miao Yin City with [Lu] Qingshan and Qingyu that night, hiding in the dense jungles of Qingzhang Mountain to avoid unforeseen circumstances.

Even though the Daoist of Miao Yin was in Miao Yin City, the current Lu Qingfeng had the strength to protect himself and chose not to place his life in others' hands.

Caution was the better part of valor.

The terrain of Qingzhang Mountain was complicated, and the forest dense. Once the three of them fled inside, neither the War God Society nor any other force would have any hope of finding them.

Hiding in Qingzhang Mountain, controlling Puppets to take revenge on the War God Society.

There was nothing safer than this!

Lu Qingfeng was furious, yet he cherished his life. To take revenge on the War God Society, his Puppets could do the job. He would not make a move himself, and neither would [Lu] Qingshan or Qingyu.

Thusly.

The assault began in the four major counties of Dangyang County, followed by an ambush on War God Society experts at Fujiang Cliff. Encountering a formidable enemy, they would immediately flee far away. The War God Society, with its vast size and extensive affairs, couldn't defend against this.

They could only hunker down.

The War God Society fell into the same dire straits as the Returning to Truth Sect had once been.

One by one, their experts fell!

The War God Army was continuously slaughtered, and already many soldiers couldn't bear it and deserted.

Only eight Puppets, but they were eight True Qi Realm Divine Archers, equipped with talismanic weapons, deadly in close combat.

They may not be invincible in the Cultivation World, but in Upper Sun Country, they truly were!

The War God Society was pushed into an extremely awkward position.

For some time, many high-ranking members of the War God Society regretted provoking the Lu siblings. Their previous confidence had turned into a joke and brewed a bitter wine!

The retribution was ferocious!

Three days later.

The War God Army suffered over eight hundred casualties, several dozens of experts from the mid and late stages of the Fetal Breathing Realm were wounded or killed, and six or seven masters of the True Qi Realm were lost. The War God Society finally made a response—

With Duan Zhang and Wang Yan, two late-stage True Qi Realm battle gods at the helm, they organized two top-notch teams composed of True Qi Realm experts from the War God Society. They were ready to chase down the Black-clothed Man immediately upon action.

Unfortunately—

The nine Lark Birds trained by Lu Qingfeng kept a close watch on the experts in the War God Society, especially on Duan Zhang and Wang Yan. Any sign of activity, the Puppets would instantly retreat into the mountains.

Avoiding the top experts of the War God Society, the tireless, environment-ignorant Puppets that never rested nor slackened stood on unbeatable ground!

Lark Birds!

Remote autonomous Puppets!

Under the nuanced control of the three siblings, they were extremely agile. The War God Society could only reduce their losses by staying put inside.

In the end, it was just a slow death.

The Puppets were skilled with archery.

Bolstered by formidable strength spells, even masters of the First Level and Second Level of the True Qi Realm didn't dare to resist a single arrow. The experts in the Fetal Breathing Realm were even less a match, hardly able to dodge.

The Puppets hid everywhere.

As soon as a member of the War God Society appeared, dozens of cold arrows would fly out from unknown locations, slaughtering and then vanishing without a trace.

This tactic was originally meant to deal with the Returning to Truth Sect.

Given a few months, Lu Qingfeng could have worn down the Returning to Truth Sect. But their insane actions forced Lu Qingfeng to abandon this war of attrition and storm their mountain directly, leading to their total destruction.

The outcome was good, but the process was fraught with peril.

This time, Lu Qingfeng was determined to carry through the tactic of death by a thousand cuts, until the day the War God Society collapsed.

The War God Society was just unlucky to have provoked the three siblings.

Mass murder of the innocent?

Nonexistent!

If you were innocent, you could simply leave the War God Society. The revenge Lu Qingfeng sought was only against the War God Society. When the War God Society acted against the three siblings, they certainly did not consider their innocence.

The War God Society, one of the biggest forces in the Yang Country, governing hundreds of thousands of citizens across Dangyang County, didn't hesitate to even hunt cultivators on the other side of the Crying Swamp with ambitions and strength far beyond the likes of Green Jade Sect and Returning to Truth Sect.

However.

Even the mighty War God Society could not withstand such attrition.

Lu Qingfeng had plenty of time.

Hiding in Qingzhang Mountain, Lu Qingfeng and his siblings controlled the Puppets to take revenge on the War God Society. This process would last for a long time. Once the spiritual power of the Puppets was depleted, they would hide away for a few days, and after, they were good as new.

Even if the War God Army was numerous and True Qi Realm experts were plenty, how could they withstand this attrition?

They were bound to collapse sooner or later!

Three to four days passed in a flash.

The War God Society was exhausted by the constant pressure, and seeing that things were going smoothly, Lu Qingfeng didn't expend too much effort on this matter.

In the game, his Fourth Life had already grown to sixteen years old!
