Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 684: Chapter 297: Nascent Soul Monsters of Both Righteous and Demonic Paths

Ten Spirits Ancestor seemed somewhat incredulous and hurriedly asked.

"No, it’s my own problem."

The Medicine King now had a feeling... unable to speak of his bitterness.

"You..."

Ten Spirits Ancestor didn’t know what to say.

The always silent Mei Manor, after staring at the Medicine King for a long time, finally spoke:

"Heart damage, and having one’s spine interrupted... I’m rather curious, when did such characters appear on the Cangluo Continent?"

"What?!"

The Lady of Joy was the first to understand Mei Manor’s meaning. As she turned her head sharply, her face lost its previous charm and was replaced by shock.

"You mean... Divinity Transformation?"

Under the gaze of several people, Mei Manor calmly nodded, "You just have to ask him to know."

So they looked at Medicine King again.

The latter remained noncommittal, only waving his hand, "Let’s talk about the main business."

He didn’t speak, and they couldn’t force him.

Thus, they spoke more gently, each harboring their own thoughts.

Like Mei Manor, most curious about when a Divinity Transformation cultivator arrived on Cangluo Continent?

Could it be... that the big brothers have returned?

No, impossible.

If they had returned, Cangluo would have already stabilized; it was most likely a cultivator passing through Cangluo by chance.

"Shangxi’s intention is already very clear, he must be targeting one of our six sects first... just don’t know which one."

Ten Spirits Ancestor spoke while his gaze moved around the people.

"In any case, it can’t possibly be Sword Ruins, they don’t have the capability to consume Sword Ruins."

The Lady of Joy responded.

"Indeed."

Xu Sheng rarely spoke up, admitting the matter.

"I now suspect it might be Medicine King Valley."

Kong Xifeng said while looking at the unmoving Medicine King.

Upon hearing this, the latter didn’t lift his head, "If it is, then it is."

"No, old thing, are you really resigning to fate?"

Kong Xifeng looked incredulously at the Medicine King’s demeanor.

"One whose spine has been interrupted behaves like this."

Mei Manor hugged his arms across his chest and said softly, "Not to hide from you all, back when I traveled overseas, I too had my spine interrupted, wandered mindlessly for hundreds of years, and only finally regained my senses."

The Medicine King lifted his head blankly, looking at him.

"It doesn’t help to look at me, you have a Heart Demon infiltrating, only when you break through the Heart Barrier can you walk out."

Mei Manor didn’t go into detail, or rather, matters related to one’s state of mind couldn’t be explained in detail.

The conversation then returned to dealing with the Demon Dao’s attacks.

However, during their exchange, no one mentioned any definite news, only ambiguous answers.

"Forget it, it seems the Demon Dao is really hiding deeply this time, probably only those Nascent Soul Monsters know the answer."

Ten Spirits Ancestor, seeing no decisive outcome from the discussion, then waved his hand, ceasing to speak further.

"Indeed, in my opinion, wouldn’t it be better for us to make an alliance? No matter which family the Demon Dao targets, the others are obliged to give full support, how about that?"

Lu Corpse finished speaking and looked at the others inquisitively.

"Okay."

Xu Sheng nodded in agreement.

"I have no objection either." The Lady of Joy also agreed.

The others also agreed one after another; this was the very purpose of their gathering today.

After all, if one of the Demons of Shangxi’s Three Demon Sects decided to take action, there would be almost no chance for that family to resist.

It’s necessary to combine the forces of six families.

Thus, Mei Manor remained like an outsider, watching their discussion.

He... did not speak.

Even though he received news from Shangxi, saying that among the six Immortal Sects of Shang Dong, one had already sided with them.

But Mei Manor still didn’t mention it.

Although the enemy’s enemy is a friend.

Mei Manor felt that those present were also his enemies, or rather, the entire Cangluo was his enemy now.

...

Meanwhile.

At the summit of an unnamed snowy mountain within the Shang Mountain range, another meeting was taking place.

But here, there were much fewer attendees.

Only three people.

A tall man with black hair and red robes, bearing horns on his head.

A sinister young man with black robes and red hair.

Together with a man whose white bones were exposed on his skin, they formed this small gathering.

The man with black hair and red robes was named Blood Luo King, acknowledged as Shangxi’s number one.

The young man with black robes and red hair was the Palace Master of the Demon Flame Palace, named True Monarch Mo Yan.

The remaining person was the White Bone Demon Monarch of the White Bone Sect.

In the absence of that woman, these three were the highest-ranking figures in Shangxi.

"So, has your White Bone Sect opened the gate yet? Once it opens, we’ll begin."

True Monarch Mo Yan smiled crookedly.

The White Bone Demon Monarch appeared much steadier, sitting squarely upright.

"Almost, just a few more days. But let it be said in advance, once inside, it’s every man for himself."

"Naturally."

True Monarch Mo Yan sat slanted, with one leg crossed atop the other, smirking crookedly.

But after saying this, the White Bone Demon Monarch turned to the silent Blood Luo King.

"Blood Luo, is it really worth exposing that family now?"

"Worth it."

Blood Luo King’s eyes suddenly opened, a blood streak flashing in his eyes. In an instant, the entire mountaintop seemed to transform into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. However, the vision vanished as quickly as it had appeared.

"Only six families in total, one dead, one surrendered, and two were instantly wiped out. The remaining Loose Cultivators would be even less likely to resist, and moreover..."

"Moreover what?"

The White Bone Demon Monarch asked further.

True Monarch Mo Yan snickered, "What else could it be? It’s that woman’s idea, isn’t it? Otherwise, who else could command the great and noble Blood Luo King."

"If you keep being sarcastic, I’ll destroy your Demon Flame Palace!"

Blood Luo King’s cold voice echoed.

True Monarch Mo Yan was so frightened he fell off his chair, even tumbling several times on the ground.

"The great Blood Luo King has descended with divine might, the humble and weak Demon Flame Palace can only heed your call."

After speaking, True Monarch Mo Yan stood up, albeit ceremoniously, bowing toward Blood Luo King.

"Your loyal subject, True Monarch Mo Yan, presents himself!"

"Scram!"

Blood Luo King’s forehead throbbed with veins, but ultimately could only muster the word.

"Got it."

True Monarch Mo Yan laughed heartily, clapping his rear as he departed the scene.
