We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

Chapter 530: Young Master and I Truly Are Fated

Half a month later, Xiao Mo traveled all the way to the Flowing Sand Kingdom.

The Flowing Sand Kingdom was not only one of the main camps established by the Myriad Demon Alliance; it was also an extremely important city at the very front of the entire battle line.

It could be said that the line of confrontation between the Myriad Demon Alliance and the Sacred Demon Alliance had been built around the Flowing Sand Kingdom as its core support.

And now, across the vast battlefield of the entire demon-race world, the situation had in fact already become extremely chaotic.

The Myriad Demon Alliance, the Sacred Demon Alliance, the Heavenly Demon Alliance, and the Human Alliance were all fighting and slaughtering one another, creating a four-way balance of power.

However, because the Human Alliance could be considered the weakest of the four camps, the Sacred Demon Alliance and Heavenly Demon Alliance had temporarily set the Human Alliance aside and ignored it.

Right now, those two alliances had joined hands, intending to first destroy the strongest force—the Myriad Demon Alliance, led by Tushan—before making any other plans.

During the time he spent traveling, Xiao Mo also came to understand some of the Myriad Demon Alliance’s structure and rules.

The Myriad Demon Alliance—or rather, all alliances in the demon-race world—were different from ordinary dynasties.

In ordinary dynasties, when two countries went to war, they had organized regular armies. They were highly unified as a whole, and the soldiers and commanders had all undergone unified drills and training.

But the alliances of the demon-race world seemed far more “loose and free.”

Although the four great alliances likewise had commanders and high-ranking elders in charge of command and deployment, there were simply too many forces participating, and they were too miscellaneous and chaotic.

There were even many, many rogue cultivators with no sect or faction directly joining in.

So in the vast majority of cases, the high-ranking commanders would assign and distribute missions.

Then they would have cultivators carry out those missions.

Cultivators could even choose to accept certain bounty missions on their own.

To describe it in a more common and easy-to-understand way—the demon-race camps were like a heap of loose sand that could not be gathered together.

It did not feel as though one had joined an army. It was more like joining an enormous, mixed sect.

Of course, since Xiao Mo had chosen to join the Myriad Demon Alliance, the Myriad Demon Alliance could also forcibly assign missions to him, and Xiao Mo would have no way to refuse.

But it was said that this kind of compulsory mission was not too frequent unless there truly was no one willing to accept it.

Not long after he arrived in the Flowing Sand Kingdom, Xiao Mo was quickly assigned his own residence.

Because Xiao Mo himself was a Golden Core Realm cultivator, he was assigned an independent small courtyard.

There were three rooms in the courtyard altogether, enough for at most three people to live there.

At least Xiao Mo did not have to squeeze into a noisy inn like the other cultivators.

“Senior, this is the formation jade token for your courtyard. If there is anything you need to instruct me on, you can call me directly through this jade token.”

A human cultivator named Zhao Hongfei stepped forward and respectfully handed that jade token to Xiao Mo.

“Thank you.” Xiao Mo thanked him, his tone sincere.

“Senior, how could you need to thank me? This was only my duty.” The young man rubbed his nose honestly.

“By the way, how are we humans... living here?” Xiao Mo asked casually.

“How else could we be?”

As the young man named Zhao Hongfei spoke, he looked at Xiao Mo with a gaze carrying a trace of envy.

“Those with low realms do some menial tasks, just like me. Those with high realms are naturally like you, Senior. They can truly join the Myriad Demon Alliance, accumulate military merit on the battlefield, and receive generous rewards.”

“But I am still doing fairly well.”

Zhao Hongfei continued, a trace of anticipation flickering in his eyes.

“Every month, I can receive some salary too. It is enough for me to cultivate slowly. If I can step into the Cave Dwelling Realm, I will also be able to go to the battlefield and take a gamble. Then I will be able to fight for more opportunities.”

Xiao Mo nodded, his expression seeming casual. “I heard... there is a Human Alliance? Quite a few human cultivators have joined it?”

When he heard the words “Human Alliance,” Zhao Hongfei’s face abruptly turned pale. He quickly lowered his voice and said, “Senior, you must never bring up the Human Alliance in Flowing Sand City. That is taboo.”

Zhao Hongfei understood what this senior was thinking by bringing up the Human Alliance, so he quietly explained, “I understand what you mean, Senior. Actually, it is not as though I have never thought about joining the Human Alliance.”

“Only, Senior, I was an orphan to begin with and was adopted by a demon when I was young. Now my mother at home is already advanced in years, and it would not be good for me to leave, so I do not think of anything else.”

“Besides, according to what I have learned over this period, there are actually quite a few problems on the Human Alliance’s side too. I have even heard that ordinary people in the Human Alliance still live worse than pigs and dogs.”

“Why?” Xiao Mo’s brows furrowed slightly, and confusion appeared on his face.

Logically speaking, since it was the Human Alliance, it should naturally be centered on humans. How could they live worse than pigs and dogs?

“This... is also not very convenient to say...”

Zhao Hongfei shook his head, a somewhat troubled look on his face.

“I have only heard that the human side is actually severely divided too, with quite a few forces. When most humans go over there, unless their realm is high, they are really no different from slaves.”

“Of course, these are all only things I have heard. As for the specific situation, I truly do not understand it very well either.”

“So that is how it is.” Xiao Mo nodded thoughtfully.

“If Senior has no other instructions, then I will take my leave first and go lead the other seniors to their residences,” Zhao Hongfei said.

“Go on.” Xiao Mo casually gave him some reward money.

“Thank you, Senior.” Zhao Hongfei happily accepted the reward money, bowed respectfully, then turned and withdrew from the courtyard.

Xiao Mo casually chose a room, put away his luggage, and slowly tidied up.

“This courtyard is actually quite nice.”

Just as Xiao Mo had more or less finished tidying up, a woman’s voice suddenly sounded outside the courtyard, and that voice even sounded somewhat familiar.

“Could it be...”

Xiao Mo’s heart stirred. He walked out of the room, and sure enough, he saw Xiangniang standing in the courtyard.

And the moment Xiangniang saw Xiao Mo, her eyes immediately lit up.

“Xiangniang greets you, Young Master.”

Xiangniang walked forward and curtsied gracefully, her brows and eyes carrying a rippling smile, along with a touch of surprise and delight.

“I did not expect such a coincidence, to still be able to meet you here. Young Master and I truly are fated.”

[Ah, after writing books for all these years, I haven’t made much money, I still don’t have a girlfriend, and now my shoulder hurts and I have tendinitis.

But I suppose it is also my own fault for being lazy. I really have been lacking exercise...

I made an appointment with an old Chinese medicine doctor and will go get acupuncture tomorrow to see how it goes. I hope it has some effect.

Tonight I need to write tomorrow’s chapter.]
