Chapter 548: 456 Dark Demon Realm invades Qianyang Realm_1

Qianyang Realm, Northern Sea Cultivation Realm, a desolate island of a hundred miles in size.

The island was shrouded in white fog, obscuring the view of the interior.

Huangfu Lou stood at the top of a high peak, with Lu Haoming, Lin Feng, Su Ying, and Su Sheng standing by respectfully.

Lin Feng and the others had been subdued by Huangfu Lou and were working for him.

Huangfu Lou had planted restrictions within them, if they dared to disobey, with just a thought, he could activate the restrictions and end their lives.

Ripples spread through the high sky, accompanied by a deafening roar as a rift tore open in the void, revealing several cracks.

"Senior Huangfu! It seems like someone is coming over."

Lin Feng spoke up.

Huangfu Lou nodded, the rift in the void grew larger, revealing a gap several zhang wide as a black flying boat emerged from it.

A group of cultivators stood on the black flying boat, their sizes noticeably larger than those of the Human Clan, enveloped in Demonic Qi, with Taishi Jin among them.

A portly, green-robed elder and a graceful, golden-robed woman stood beside Taishi Jin, their auras vast like the sea, both in the early stages of Soul Transformation.

The black flying boat landed in front of Huangfou Lou, Taishi Jin made the introductions, "Taoist Friend Huangfu, let me introduce you, these two are Taoist Friend Duanmu and Madam Mu."

"I’m Duanmu Xi, pleased to meet Taoist Friend Huangfu."

The voice of the green-robed elder was somewhat hoarse.

"Taoist Friend Huangfu, I am Mu Jiaojiao. Taishi Friend has told us, you need help capturing the Qianyang Realm before we can send you back to the Netherworld."

The golden-robed woman spoke.

"What! Capture the Qianyang Realm!"

Huangfu Lou furrowed his brows.

Sure enough, as he had expected, Taishi Jin had reneged upon his return to the Dark Demon Realm.

"It’s not what I meant. The spatial node I knew of was destroyed. We need to send people to find a suitable new spatial node and set up a fifth-order formation, all of which incur costs, and I am not the decision-maker."

Taishi Jin explained.

"What if I refuse!"

Huangfu Lou said with a cold face.

"You release the restrictions on Taoist Friend Taishi, find your own way back to the Netherworld, and we will not stop you," said Duanmu Xi.

"Humph, release the restrictions, and what’s next? You plan to kill me? Think I’m that foolish?" Huangfu Lou snorted coldly, flicking his wrist as a Fire Qilin Beast emerged from within.

Lu Haoming and the others had looks of wariness on their faces, tense.

Duanmu Xi flipped his right hand, and with a flash of black light, a long saber enveloped in Demonic Qi appeared in his hand.

A Sky-Reaching Treasure, on the same tier as a Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure.

"We have no intention of killing you. You either lend us your strength or release the restrictions on Taoist Friend Taishi, and we swear by our demon hearts not to harm you," Duanmu Xi assured.

"You will not harm me, but what about the other Soul Transformation cultivators from the Dark Demon Realm?" Huangfu Lou scoffed, playing a game of verbal traps.

"Do you expect all the cultivators from the Dark Demon Realm to swear by their demon hearts to release Taoist Friend Taishi’s restrictions? Do you think that’s possible?" Mu Jiaojiao’s tone was icy cold.

"Taoist Friend Huangfu, our Dark Demon Realm is very powerful. With your help, capturing the Qianyang Realm will only be a matter of time, and we will send you back to the Netherworld afterwards," Taishi Jin tried to mediate.

Putting himself in Huangfu Lou’s shoes, he wouldn’t easily release the restrictions either.

"Capture the Qianyang Realm, you will not have additional demands, will you?" Huangfu Lou voiced his concern.

"We keep our word. Help us take down the Qianyang Realm, and we will send you back to the Netherworld. If you don’t want to help, just release the restrictions on Taoist Friend Taishi, and we will not interfere," Duanmu Xi said.

"Taoist Friend Huangfu, with your assistance, it’s just a matter of time before we capture the Qianyang Realm. I would not joke with my own life," Taishi Jin urged.

Huangfu Lou pondered for a while before he said, "Fine! I’ll believe in you one more time. If we take down the Qianyang Realm and you find another excuse to back out, then there will be nothing more to say."

"Don’t worry, we’ll do as we said. Let’s start with Heavenly Beast Island!"

Duanmu Xi laid out his plan.

"No rush, let’s first subdue the Swallowing Sea Whale and the Human-Faced Dove. These two fifth-order great demons can be a great aid to us if they are put to use. And if they can’t be used by us, then we’ll slaughter them,"

Huangfu Lou suggested.

"The Swallowing Sea Whale! The Human-Faced Dove! Where are they?"

Duanmu Xi asked.

"Lu Haoming, lead us to their lairs,"

Huangfu Lou ordered.

"Yes, Senior Huangfu,"

Lu Haoming readily agreed.

"Lin Feng, you three return and await my command. Cooperate with us to take down the Qianyang Realm, and you won’t be left without a reward,"

Huangfu Lou instructed.

Lin Feng and the other two agreed and withdrew.

Huangfu Lou and Lu Haoming flew up to the black flying boat, and with Duanmu Xi’s spell, the black flying boat soared into the high skies and left the area.

In Tianyuan Realm, Three Saints City.

Spirit Control Garden, Alchemy Room.

Shen Long sat cross-legged on a red cushion, his gaze intently fixed on the Qianyang Cauldron before him.

A green flame enveloped the greater part of the Qianyang Cauldron, filling the room with a dense fragrance of medicine.

After a while, Shen Long changed his spell, shook his sleeve, and the green flame dispersed.

He stepped forward, opened the cauldron lid, and inside were twenty-four green pills, each with nine pill patterns engraved on them.

Green Condensing Jade Dew Pills!

Shen Long had spent half a year refining them.

The Qinglian True Flame was still fourth-order; it now took Shen Long half a year to refine a batch of fifth-order elixirs.

"Finally, it’s done!"

Shen Long’s face showed joy; this was the first batch of fifth-order elixirs he had ever refined.

According to his agreement with Taihao True Monarch, only ten were to be given to the True Monarch, the rest belonged to Shen Long.

Shen Long took out two porcelain bottles to hold these Green Condensing Jade Dew Pills.

He took out a red Messaging Plate, entered a spell, and said, "Taoist Friend Wang, I’ve refined the Green Condensing Jade Dew Pills. Come to the Spirit Control Garden to collect them!"

"Good, I’ll be right there,"

Taihao True Monarch responded.

Shen Long put away the Messaging Plate and walked out, taking a seat in a green stone pavilion.

Before long, Taihao True Monarch, followed by Qian Dafu, walked in.

"Taoist Friend Wang, here are the Green Condensing Jade Dew Pills you asked for!"

Shen Long handed over a green porcelain bottle to Taihao True Monarch.

Taihao True Monarch popped the cork and glanced inside, his face showing delight.

"Thank you, Taoist Friend Shen, here is your payment,"

Taihao True Monarch handed over a green Storage Bracelet to Shen Long.

Shen Long scanned the contents with his Divine Sense; besides the Dragon Suppressing Stone, there were also ten strands of Spiritual Medicine that were over three thousand years old and three fifth-order artifact refining materials.

Shen Long nodded and accepted the Storage Bracelet.

Taihao True Monarch let out a sigh of relief in his heart. Liu Yuyun and the other Nascent Soul Cultivators had already spread the word about the feat of breaking the Formation. They all knew that Shen Long possessed a powerful Art of Transformation.

In the Cultivation Realm, it was still about strength, and Shen Long, with his extraordinary strength and mastery of alchemy, was not someone Taihao True Monarch could afford to treat lightly.

Originally, there were people eyeing the Six Cleansing Bamboos, but after hearing about Shen Long’s strength, they discarded such thoughts.

After some casual conversation, Taihao True Monarch excused himself and left.
