As time went on, things became simpler.
Luo Chen dispelled the Demon King's hallucinatory smoke, then had several demon puppet nuns act as chairs. He lay down on the chairs, while two other demon puppet nuns massaged his back and shoulders, and four more demon puppet nuns lined up to massage his legs.
He enjoyed the massage while watching the terrified and struggling nuns being dragged to his presence by other demonic puppets.
Snap! The enslavement whip lashed out, and Luo Chen waved his hand—next!
But just then, as the Demon King's hallucinatory smoke dissipated, the powerful figures in the nunnery above suddenly saw Luo Chen, the culprit!
Immediately, Elder Zuo Huayin shouted, "Senior Sister Huayue, kill that man quickly!"
As her voice rang out, a powerful figure appeared; it was Abbess Huayue, the Right Elder of the nunnery.
Abbess Hua Yue, wielding her staff, channeled her cultivation energy and descended from the sky, smashing it towards Luo Chen's head!
Seeing this, Luo Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered inwardly, "I knew a master would come to kill me!"
But it doesn't matter, all of this is under Luo Chen's control.
"All demonic puppets, come and protect me!"
At Luo Chen's command, all the young nuns rushed to her side, surrounding her completely.
Moreover, not only that, the little nuns of the demon puppets even climbed up the gap above and used their bodies to block Luo Chen.
In this way, the young nuns formed a huge human protective shield, tightly protecting Luochen inside...
After Elder Hua Yue descended from the sky, he was completely dumbfounded...!
Chapter Twenty: The Abbess is Actually a Girl!
Luo Chen used the system to check Master Hua Yue's strength.
This Abbess Hua Yue is indeed worthy of being the Right Elder. Like the Left Elder Abbess Hua Yin, she is at the late stage of the Innate Realm!
Of course, both of them are still a notch below Zhao Min in terms of strength.
Compared to Zhou Zhiruo, she is far inferior!
"Demon slave Zhou Zhiruo, demon slave Zhao Min, come back!"
Then, at Luo Chen's command, Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Min, who were being besieged on the top of the Bell Tower, were immediately teleported to Luo Chen's side.
The battle abruptly ceased at that moment.
The nunnery, led by Abbess Huayin and Abbess Huayue, stood with a group of older nuns of the Hui generation and younger nuns who had not yet been enslaved by the divine whip, their backs to the bell tower.
Meanwhile, on Luo Chen's side, there were nearly two hundred young nun puppets protecting him, Zhou Zhiruo, and Zhao Min inside.
The requirement for the Demon King training mission is to build a slave army of at least three hundred people.
Therefore, Luo Chen is still short about a hundred people.
He glanced at the other party and saw that there were still more than 150 young nuns who were still conscious, which was enough!
Since strength is usually proportional to age, the little nuns who were whipped into demonic puppets by Luo Chen were almost all under twenty-five years old, and many of them were even teenagers. They were all in the prime of their youth!
Those who could not be enslaved by the divine whip and turned into demonic puppets were all at least at the Innate stage. Most of these people were at least middle-aged women, and there were even many old women.
Although the nuns controlled by Luo Chen were weak, they were able to serve as good hostages for him.
"You traitor! What have you done to our nunnery's disciples? Why have they suddenly turned against us and sided with you?"
Seeing so many young nuns obeying Luo Chen, Elder Hua Yin, the nun, disregarded all precepts and immediately shouted a rebuke.
"Junior Sister Xiangyun!"
"Junior Sister Xiangtong!"
"Senior Sister Xiangli!"
……
The young nuns who hadn't yet become demon puppets were all extremely anxious, constantly calling out to the young nun demon puppets surrounding Luo Chen.
Although the little nun puppets showed struggle in their eyes, none of them responded to their fellow disciples who cared about them, and they continued to surround Luo Chen.
Seeing that Abbess Huayin was going to negotiate, Luo Chen felt relieved; the nunnery was now under her control!
"Old nun, you are not qualified to speak to me. Let your abbess come out!"
Luo Chen peeked out from among the nuns and spoke.
His idea was simple: to catch the thief, first catch the king; to catch the wicked, first catch the master!
If the abbess of this nunnery could drink the demon king's blood, then everything would be easily resolved.
“Our abbess is in meditation. What right do you, a thief, have to see our abbess?” Abbess Huayin shouted coldly upon hearing this.
"Qualifications? You want to see what qualifications I have? Fine, then I'll show you what qualifications really are!"
Luo Chen was very dissatisfied with Abbess Hua Yin's reply. He glanced at the young nuns around him, chose the least pretty one, and gave her a mental command.
The unattractive young nun walked up to Abbess Huayin, her eyes filled with immense fear and struggle.
Despite this, she still struck her own head with a palm, committing suicide and dying suddenly, without anyone's expectation!
"Fragrant Chrysanthemum!"
Upon seeing Xiangju's blood splattered on the spot, Abbess Huayin screamed in anguish.
She recognized Xiangju, the little nun who swept the courtyard for him every day. Now, she was dying so tragically in front of her. Abbess Huayin's eyes almost popped out of her head.
"You thief, I'll kill you!"
Abbess Huayin's anger surged, flipping her nun's hat over. She activated her cultivation and immediately attacked Luo Chen.
"Kill me? You should kill them first!"
Luo Chen sneered and immediately ordered several of the least attractive nuns to rush towards Abbess Hua Yin and block her path of attack!
Seeing the young nuns charging towards her in a suicidal manner, Abbess Huayin quickly withdrew her attack and flew back. She glared at Luo Chen with fury and shouted, "You despicable scoundrel!"
"Despicable? Damn, you know me so well? Then I'll show you how despicable I can be! All five of you, commit suicide right now!"
Luo Chen's lips curled into a devilish smirk, and he immediately ordered the five young nuns to commit suicide.
Just then, a clear and melodious voice rang out in the air: "Benefactor, I am here. Please spare my disciples!"
As the words fell, a figure appeared out of thin air and landed.
However, when this figure appeared, Luo Chen was greatly shocked!
Because this figure who claimed to be the abbess was actually a beautiful young girl with a radiant face!
Chapter Twenty-One: The Eternal Youth and Longevity Technique
In fact, it wasn't just Luo Chen who was shocked.
Everyone present, except for Abbess Huayin and Abbess Huayue, was stunned and speechless!
"When I entered the temple, I heard from the senior nuns that the abbess could maintain her youth and had a figure like a girl. I never thought it was true!"
"Hearing that the abbess is over seventy years old, she looks like a vibrant young girl!"
"My God, could that legend be true? It says that the abbess obtained a mysterious martial arts manual, a manual from the Xiaoyao Sect hundreds of years ago!"
……
The moment the girl introduced herself as the abbess, the young nuns in the nunnery erupted in a flurry of chatter.
Because of the power of the Demon King's blood, Luo Chen was able to clearly hear the little nuns' conversation.
Eternal youth? Mysterious martial arts manuals? The Free and Unfettered Sect?
"Could it be the Eternal Youth and Longevity Technique cultivated by the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny?" Luo Chen immediately had the answer in his heart.
When I read the novel before, I never knew that the abbess of this nunnery had actually cultivated the Longevity and Immortality Technique. Now that I see it, Luo Chen is really quite surprised!
"Is she the abbess of your nunnery?" Although she was somewhat certain, Luo Chen still asked.
"It is indeed this humble nun, my Dharma name is Jingxiang."
The youthful-looking girl, with a face as beautiful as a poem or a painting, clasped her hands together, performed a Buddhist ritual, and spoke serenely.
Wait, Shizuka? I'm Nobita!
Luo Chen used the system to check and was shocked to find that the nun Jingxiang's cultivation had actually reached the peak of the late stage of the Innate Realm!
He's just one opportunity away from breaking through to the peak of the late-stage Innate Realm and reaching the Qi Condensation Realm!
This is definitely a big fish! Its strength is even slightly superior to Zhou Zhiruo's!
"Benefactor, what grudge do you hold against my nunnery? Why are you so cruel to my nuns? May Buddha have mercy and see you turn back to the right path!"
Shizuka continued speaking, her voice pleasant but carrying a solemn reproach.
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen let out a cold laugh!
And it was an undisguised scorn!
He stared at Shizuka's delicate face, a mysterious smile spreading across his face, his lips curving into his signature devilish grin. He said casually, "The Eternal Youth and Longevity Technique primarily targets the Lesser Yang Triple Burner Meridian. I suppose Master Shizuka must have drunk quite a bit of red fruit juice while practicing it?"
Upon hearing this, Shizuka's delicate face immediately changed color, as if a thunderbolt had exploded on her face. Despite being a great Buddhist master, a cold killing intent flashed in her eyes at this moment!
This "Eternal Youth and Longevity Technique" was practiced by the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny in the novel "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils." To cultivate it, one must drink fresh blood; otherwise, it cannot be practiced.
These are all strict settings in the book, so since Shizuka also cultivated the Eternal Youth and Longevity Technique and successfully turned back into a child, she must have drunk a lot of blood!
Luo Chen was familiar with all the plots, so he knew all these things like the back of his hand!
As for Shizuka, she accidentally obtained the Eternal Youth and Longevity Technique by chance, but after careful study, she discovered that she needed to drink fresh blood to cultivate it.
At the time, as the abbess of the nunnery, she was wholeheartedly devoted to doing good and clearly refused.
But youth fades quickly, and beauty withers easily. Even if she is a nun, she is still a woman!
No woman can be indifferent to her appearance.
As time went by, Shizuka became increasingly unlucky in love, and her skin became increasingly loose.
When Shizuka took out the Eternal Youth and Longevity Technique again, she finally couldn't resist the temptation and secretly killed a little nun, drank her blood, and cultivated the ability to reverse aging!
When she returned to her youthful years and experienced the joy of being young, Shizuka was like a woman who had just experienced the great tide, completely falling in love with this feeling and becoming uncontrollably attached to it!
However, Shizuka never mentioned any of this to anyone, believing that no one would ever know about the heinous things she had done.
However, at this moment, when Luo Chen mentioned the red juice, Shizuka was deeply shocked!
"Master Jingxiang, rest assured, I don't like to speak carelessly. However, there is one small condition you need to agree to!"
Luo Chen chuckled and took out a small jade bottle containing the Demon King's blood!
Chapter Twenty-Two: Enslaving Shizuka
"what is this?"
When Jingxiang saw the small jade bottle in Luochen's hand, she naturally understood that it couldn't be anything good.
“Poison! You drink it, and I’ll release these little nuns. Isn’t that a fair deal?” Luo Chen said with a smile.
"Insolence! Abbot, such words of a scoundrel must not be heeded!"
"You actually wanted to make the abbess drink poison! You're a monster!"
Master Huayin and Master Huayue simultaneously began to rebuke.
Jingxiang didn't speak, but looked at the small jade bottle in Luochen's hand, deep in thought.
With her current skill level, if she accidentally ingested poison, she could easily force it out with her internal energy.
However, drinking poison given by someone else out of the blue is certainly not a pleasant feeling.
"Benefactor, isn't it a bit too cruel of you to try to poison this humble nun?"
Despite being threatened by Luo Chen, Jingxiang felt that even if Luo Chen told the truth, the nuns would definitely not believe him.
However, Luo Chen did not respond to her words. Instead, he directly ordered the three least beautiful little nuns to walk directly towards Jingxiang and strike their own crowns with their palms, causing them to die instantly from blood splattering!
"Stop! If you continue to kill innocent people, I will act on behalf of Heaven!" Even though Jingxiang had drunk human blood, she could not remain calm after witnessing the tragic deaths of three more young nuns.
"Heh, you say I'm indiscriminately killing innocent people? What kind of good person are you, Shizuka? I'll show you how I indiscriminately kill innocent people today!"
