Chapter 1917: Chapter 637: Myriad Demon Abyss, Gu God Bowl!
"Regarding this matter, this Cult Leader won’t force you, but I remind you, our Five Poisons Cult has no desire to be your enemy, but the Yin Ming Ghost Sect has been investigating your whereabouts."
"Previously, the Yin Ming Ghost King came to our Five Poisons Cult, wanting to learn about your situation through the Heavenly Spider Emissary."
Seeing Lu Changsheng deep in thought, the Five Poisons Cult Leader continued to speak.
Damn!
Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes, hearing the hint of threat in the words of the Five Poisons Cult.
He wouldn’t use Nangong Mili to deal with him, but the Yin Ming Ghost Sect might not hesitate to.
Or rather, the Yin Ming Ghost Sect hadn’t acted against him through Nangong Mili because the Five Poisons Cult was holding them back.
"Regarding the situation of the Myriad Demon Abyss, I am not clear. I ask the Cult Leader to roughly explain it to me."
Lu Changsheng knew it wasn’t possible to take away Nangong Mili and his son Lu Minghuang without paying some price.
"The Myriad Demon Abyss is one of the forbidden areas of the Ancient Battlefield..."
The Five Poisons Cult Leader gave a brief introduction to this forbidden area, describing it as a filthy place filled with demonic qi, evil qi, and turbid energy. The demon beasts inside were all polluted and demonized, turning into fierce beasts.
This place not only harbors various demonized beasts, but also absolute spirits, forbidden spaces, poisonous evils, and other dangers that even a Nascent Soul True Lord would find perilous.
"The reason for inviting you is simple. Although you are extraordinarily powerful, you are not a true Nascent Soul Cultivator."
"If I invited other Nascent Soul cultivators, should they harbor greed, I would be in a highly passive position."
The Five Poisons Cult Leader spoke frankly, directly stating that their combat strength was average.
After all, in the early years, in a two against one battle, they almost got beheaded by Xuanjian True Monarch.
The previous exploits in pioneer wars were also witnessed by Lu Changsheng, so there was nothing embarrassing.
"The expedition will be set for a period of three months. If there’s no harvest after three months, regardless of success or failure, consider the deal complete."
After thinking for a moment, Lu Changsheng chose to agree.
After all, the Achilles’ heel was in the other’s hands, so he had no choice but to comply.
"Okay."
The Five Poisons Cult Leader nodded lightly, indicating that intel on the Myriad Demon Mountain and Meng Xiaochan’s soul lamp would be given to Lu Changsheng later.
Afterward, whether successful or not, Nangong Mili’s soul lamp would be given to Lu Changsheng.
As long as he was willing, Nangong Mili could still serve as the Heavenly Spider Emissary of the Five Poisons Cult.
"Good."
Lu Changsheng nodded.
Immediately, the two established a spiritual contract, with the addition of a heart demon oath.
After completing the contract, Lu Changsheng felt somewhat at a disadvantage.
After all, the primary constraint of a heart demon oath is during the demonic tribulation when breaking through the Nascent Soul stage.
Being a Core Formation cultivator, he would have to face the demonic tribulation in the future.
However, the Five Poisons Cult Leader had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, and her potential was limited, so the heart demon oath didn’t constrain her much.
Still, between cultivators, a heart demon oath also represents a form of respect.
If he were to question it now, indicating the other’s limited potential, it would be disrespectful, a blatant humiliation.
...
Although the two reached an agreement, indicating mutual non-aggression, Lu Changsheng still didn’t enter the Five Poisons Cult. He expressed his intention to see Nangong Mili first and go to the Myriad Demon Mountain in seven days.
Not long after, Nangong Mili, dressed in a purple palace dress, emerged from the Five Poisons Cult.
She handed Meng Xiaochan’s soul lamp to Lu Changsheng and inquired about his conversation with the Cult Leader.
Lu Changsheng took her away on the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng and then revealed his transaction with the Five Poisons Cult Leader.
"The Myriad Demon Abyss!"
Nangong Mili was extremely surprised, stating that for a Core Formation cultivator, going to the Myriad Demon Abyss had at least a seventy percent chance of death.
"Mili, does the Five Poisons Cult have a supreme treasure fallen in the Myriad Demon Abyss?"
Lu Changsheng inquired, wanting to know the truth of the Five Poisons Cult Leader’s words.
"I’ve heard the Gu God Bowl of the Cult fell in the Myriad Demon Abyss, but I am not sure of its truth."
Nangong Mili shook her head gently.
This sort of thing was too distant and belonged to the secrets of the Cult, known only to the Cult Leader and not widely known.
Then Lu Changsheng asked about other situations, but Nangong Mili couldn’t ascertain her Cult Leader’s intentions either.
After all, reaching the Nascent Soul Realm meant having unique insights and fates.
However, she believed the Five Poisons Cult Leader indeed didn’t want to be Lu Changsheng’s enemy.
Years ago, upon hearing about Lu Changsheng blocking the gate of the Yin Ming Ghost Sect, she immediately asked if Yangming True Master could be of use to the Five Poisons Cult and was willing to help resolve enmities with the Yin Ming Ghost Sect.
"Mhm."
Lu Changsheng nodded slightly and continued to inquire, "Is the cultivation technique of the Five Poisons Cult Leader the same as yours?"
"The Cult Leader’s Cultivation Technique is the general outline of the Cult, recording many secret divine abilities, and she likely acquired opportunities in her early years."
"There are rumors that the Cult Leader’s current appearance is due to cultivating a certain technique to break through to Nascent Soul back then."
With the Sect’s soul prohibition, Nangong Mili couldn’t reveal core details, but she still shared what she knew with Lu Changsheng.
"Mhm."
Lu Changsheng nodded, understanding that anyone who broke through to the Nascent Soul stage was a bearer of Great Fate, with their own opportunities.
Even if the combat strength of the Five Poisons Cult Leader was average, she was still a Nascent Soul True Lord, not to be underestimated!
If underestimated, the one to suffer would undoubtedly be himself!
"Mili, I’ve missed you."
After chatting for a long time, Lu Changsheng looked at the beautiful face before him, alluring as a poppy, with phoenix eyes beneath dark eyebrows, a dignified and charming Nangong Mili, and suddenly leaned in, capturing her luscious red lips.
Having not seen him for many years, and now Lu Changsheng risking himself, heading to the Myriad Demon Abyss with their Cult Leader, Nangong Mili was moved, a surge of emotion welling in her heart.
"Screech!"
The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng received the order, with golden claws clutching the Tianyuan Treasure Emperor Lotus, screeching once, then finding a valley to land, quietly waiting.
