Chapter 2707: Chapter 875: Intimidating the Purple Radiance, Rally the Troops!
"Heh heh."
Lu Changsheng had no good impression of the Purple Light True Lord who abandoned the city and fled before him.
If not for the alliance concerns, he might have questioned the Purple Light True Lord.
"I wonder what brings the Purple Light True Lord here?"
Lu Changsheng asked calmly and indifferently.
The Purple Light True Lord paused internally, noticing Yangming True Monarch’s lack of regard for him.
But the situation was stronger than the person, so he maintained a smile and said, "I heard of the True Monarch’s divine power, so I came to pay respects."
"Additionally, we are preparing to counterattack, and many cultivators from my Purple Light Sect have strategic resources in the Immortal City, so I came to collect and organize them."
The Purple Light True Lord cupped his hands and smiled, revealing his purpose.
"Strategic resources?"
Although Lu Changsheng hadn’t gone through the inventory of Red Peak Immortal City’s resources,
his sons Lu Lingxiao and Lu Qingxuan did the calculations and reported to him.
Aside from the storage bags, resources seized from the Liang Country’s demonic path cultivators, and the storage bags, resources seized from Jiang Country and Yue Country cultivators,
the Immortal City also had a large batch of strategic resources.
Such as war flying boats, spirit stones, talismans, elixir medicines, consumable magical artifacts, and so on.
Although to Lu Changsheng, the value of these strategic resources was ordinary and not worth his attention.
Still, no matter what, they ended up in his pockets.
Now the Purple Light True Lord comes over and wants to take these strategic resources with just a few words?
If it were Xuanjian True Monarch or someone friendly, considering the upcoming war needs, Lu Changsheng might return them.
But what is this Purple Light True Lord worth?
"The rescued cultivators are all in the city now. The cultivators of Purple Light Sect, feel free to take them, Daoist."
Lu Changsheng said calmly, "As for the strategic resources... The Immortal City had already been thoroughly plundered when I arrived."
If he hands over the strategic resources, will the other party then ask about the storage rings and storage bags of the Purple Light Sect’s cultivators?
The Purple Light True Lord’s bright smile froze.
The Nether Moon Saintess captured Red Peak Immortal City only a few days before the other party arrived and reclaimed it.
At that time, even if the city’s resources were plundered, it was impossible to send them away.
Moreover, such strategic resources would certainly be used by the Nether Moon Saintess to enhance the army’s battle power; how could they be taken away?
The Purple Light True Lord felt upset and somewhat embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, Lu Changsheng gave him no face at all.
Intending to swallow his strategic resources!
"Weren’t you the one who reclaimed Red Peak Immortal City the moment it was captured by True Monarch Nether Moon?"
As a Nascent Soul Cultivator, the Purple Light True Lord was still adept at controlling his expression, and he asked with some surprise.
"What? Does the Purple Light True Lord suspect that I embezzled your Purple Light Sect’s strategic resources?"
Lu Changsheng’s expression instantly turned cold, his eyes carrying the soul-suppression of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage, staring at the Purple Light True Lord before him.
The Purple Light True Lord’s heart trembled, feeling a severe sense of danger.
"Let alone reclaim the Red Peak Immortal City, all within the city belongs to me."
"Previously, you abandoned the city and fled, endangering my sons, nearly causing their deaths. I still haven’t confronted you about it for the greater good, and now you question me about embezzling resources. Do you wish to test the sharpness of my sword?"
Lu Changsheng continued to denounce the Purple Light True Lord coldly.
As he spoke, he summoned the Nine Tribulations Sword, radiating a sharp aura capable of cutting through the sun, moon, and stars.
His confrontation with the Purple Light True Lord wasn’t just due to displeasure over the city abandonment, but also a matter of asserting authority.
Though capturing and killing the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch and three others had already demonstrated ample power and dignity.
Yet the Purple Light True Lord dared to come over shamelessly, indicating that his intimidation over Yue Country and Jiang Country wasn’t sufficient.
Or perhaps... his temper was too good.
Changsheng True Master may have a good temper, forming wide connections and treating others generously.
But Yangming True Monarch need not do so; he needs to possess enough dignity!
"Misunderstanding, Yangming True Monarch, it’s a misunderstanding, I absolutely did not mean that."
The Purple Light True Lord hurriedly said.
Earlier, he thought Yangming True Monarch’s ability to capture and kill four Nascent Soul cultivators alone had considerable exaggeration.
Firstly, Yangming True Monarch had a Fourth Rank Spirit Pet and a Fourth Rank Puppet King.
Equivalent to one person possessing the battle power of three Nascent Soul cultivators.
Secondly, True Monarch Nether Moon was underhanded three-on-one, so couldn’t be counted.
Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch, Yellow Springs True Monarch, and True Monarch Fen Mo had not only average battle power but were also worn down over many days, their state declining.
Moreover, the combat process saw Yellow Springs True Monarch get divided through Nether Moon True Monarch, dispersing his battle strength.
But now, sensing the sharp sword intent emitted by Lu Changsheng’s Nine Tribulations Sword, he knew he was wrong.
This Yangming True Monarch’s strength was far more terrifying than he imagined.
Capturing and killing the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch and four others wasn’t reliant on spirit pets or puppet kings but depended on the strength of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Giant.
Absolutely not just recently having breakthrough Nascent Soul Middle Stage or having Nascent Soul Middle Stage battle power briefly through secret divine ability.
"How could I doubt Daoist’s embezzlement of resources, it was just a casual question."
As a Nascent Soul Cultivator, the Purple Light True Lord was well-versed in playing both sides, quickly explaining, "Regarding your sons’ matter, I sincerely apologize and am willing to compensate."
"Moreover, I also came to thank the True Monarch for reclaiming Red Peak Immortal City, saving my battlefield defeat, a little token of gratitude, I insist that Yangming True Monarch accept it."
The Purple Light True Lord had already realized that this Yangming True Monarch was extremely displeased with his abandoning of the city and fleeing.
This trip of his was like walking into a trap.
He regretted having come this way.
Immediately, he painfully took out a brocade box containing Fourth Rank rare spiritual materials and handed it to Lu Changsheng as a token of appreciation.
