Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Intentions and Cooperation

With the aid of the Shenxiao Palace and other forces, along with the help of various Loose Cultivators, the cyclical unrest caused by the Outer Realm Demons could be resisted together. This ensured that the Lost Vortex could be guarded for generations, maintaining peace in the Qingli Sea Region.

These demons from the Outer Realm naturally vary in strength.

For instance, the demons at the Crystallization and Golden Core Levels are handled by High-Tier Cultivators.

Most of the remaining demons are minor threats at the Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment levels, typically dealt with by the disciples of major Immortal Sects in cooperation.

The Gu Daoist, while slaying a group of Qi Cultivation Stage demons, was lured by them because his Dao Heart was not steadfast, leading him to fall into the Demonic Dao.

After returning to the Shenxiao Palace and exposing the Demon Cultivation Technique, he was pursued by its disciples and had to flee to Guangde County.

Understanding the whole affair, Lu Yuanshan fell into a prolonged silence.

It was unexpected that the seemingly calm Qingli Sea was actually far from tranquil.

Beneath the sea, currents surge, fostering the invasion of Outer Realm Demons every hundred years.

Compared to the demonic turmoil in the Lushan County, the invasion of Outer Realm Demons was evidently more terrifying.

Fortunately, the Celestial Fire Palace has been guarding there for generations, and with the long-term cooperation of various Cultivators and forces, the demons are kept in check in the Qingli Sea.

As for the Dubhe Institute, it only governs the Lingxi State.

Whether its superior, the Beidou Bureau, would participate in guarding against the Outer Realm Demons is beyond the knowledge of those present.

Lu Ping was not very clear about this either.

He only knew that the overseas Cultivation Realm, including the Qingli Sea, was actually not under the jurisdiction of the Beidou Bureau.

Someone else, by no means inferior to the Beidou Bureau, governs the Qingli Sea and the entire overseas Cultivation Realm.

"This is the entire course of the event: Wu Xiangwen, following his fellow sect members, was lured by a Qi Cultivation Stage demon while slaying weaker Outer Realm Demons in the Lost Vortex, thus entering the demonic path."

"Fortunately, he was ultimately killed by you, removing this hidden danger for the Cultivation Realm of the Chu Kingdom."

"I must especially thank your Sect for taking action in time."

Yuan Lang, with a serious expression, concluded the topic.

Lu Yuanshan waved his hand, still very modest: "The Cyan Mountain Sect protects Guangde County; it is our duty. I believe if your Sect discovered traces of demon cultivators in your jurisdiction, you would have acted similarly."

"Hmm."

Yuan Lang nodded. After exchanging glances with Lu Hongniang and Xu Yang beside him, he hesitated to bring up another matter, and then he asked.

"May I ask, when your Sect struck to kill Wu Xiangwen, were there any disciple casualties?"

It was essentially a question about whether anyone from the Cyan Mountain Sect was killed by the Shenxiao Decree.

After all, according to the battlefield situation, Wu Xiangwen had used the Shenxiao Decree.

Who, among Foundation Establishment-level cultivators and below, wouldn’t fear such a Thunder Technique?

"This time, we were lucky, and there were no disciple casualties."

Lu Yuanshan answered honestly.

Lu Hongniang looked surprised. Without waiting for Yuan Lang to speak, she immediately asked, "Your sect truly has talent in abundance. Our Sect’s Shenxiao Decree has never set a zero-casualty record."

There was no boastfulness or conceit in her words.

"To be honest, Wu Xiangwen had two Shenxiao Decrees on him; he used one during the battle. Is the remaining one in your possession?"

This time, it was Xu Yang who spoke. From the battle scene, it could be inferred that only one Shenxiao Decree had been used.

At this point, Lu Yuanshan, always one to follow the path of a gentleman, clearly understood the intentions of Yuan Lang and his two companions.

He immediately took out the Shenxiao Decree from his Storage Bag, unwilling to hide it, and decided to return it to its rightful owner.

"The last Shenxiao Decree in Wu Xiangwen’s possession is this one."

"Your Sect’s item should be returned to its original owner, and let your Sect take care of it."

Lu Yuanshan speculated that Yuan Lang and the others didn’t come all the way to the Cyan Mountain Sect just to say thanks and praise the Sect’s disciples’ strength.

There was a high probability that they were here to retrieve the Shenxiao Decree.

While the Shenxiao Decree is good, it’s ultimately something belonging to the Shenxiao Palace, and the Cyan Mountain Sect didn’t want to create hostility with the Shenxiao Palace over this decree.

"Haha, Sect Leader Lu might have misunderstood our intentions."

Seeing Lu Yuanshan voluntarily return the Shenxiao Decree, Yuan Lang chuckled wryly and said.

"In fact, we didn’t come here to retrieve the Shenxiao Decree. There is another matter we wish to discuss for cooperation with your sect. I wonder if Sect Leader Lu would be interested?"

Upon hearing this, both Lu Yuanshan and his companions Lu Zhiwei and Lu Changfeng were surprised, and even Lu Ping, who was listening the entire time, was caught off guard yet intrigued.

What matter would require the Shenxiao Palace to personally visit for cooperation?

Is the Cyan Mountain Sect capable of such?

So Lu Ping pondered.

"Feel free to speak; if it is within the Cyan Mountain Sect’s capabilities, we can consider cooperating."

Lu Yuanshan asked out of curiosity, following the topic.

Yuan Lang did not reveal what the matter was but first posed a question: "This Shenxiao Decree, not only can it be gifted to you, but we are also willing to add three more Shenxiao Decrees and would like to request cooperation with you."

"Do you see this as an enticing offer?"

Not only would they not take back the Shenxiao Decree, but they would also gift an additional three.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanshan and his companions immediately became interested.

"We couldn’t ask for more."

Lu Yuanshan replied honestly, "Please, go ahead."

"Good."

Yuan Lang laughed heartily and got straight to the point.

"Actually, it’s not a very difficult task, still related to the matter of Wu Xiangwen."

"This time, the Shenxiao Palace disciples lured by the Outer Realm Demons in the Lost Vortex are actually not limited to Wu Xiangwen alone."

"The three of us were ordered by the sect not only to hunt down Wu Xiangwen but also another person on the list who’s likewise escaped to Lushan County."

"This person’s name is Liang Zhennan, whose cultivation is around the Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation. Compared to Wu Xiangwen, his strength is slightly superior, and he also holds a Shenxiao Decree, making us apprehensive."

"Therefore, we seek the Cyan Mountain Sect’s assistance to work together in killing Liang Zhennan within Lushan County."

"As for the reward, it would be three more Shenxiao Decrees."

The Shenxiao Palace does not strictly stipulate how disciples must complete their tasks. They may seek help or complete tasks alone.

Under the premise of not harming the world or joining demon cultivators, any method is allowed, with much freedom.

This time, upon witnessing the Cyan Mountain Sect’s effortless execution of the Gu Daoist without a single casualty, Yuan Lang immediately developed this idea.

To the disciples of the Shenxiao Palace, the Shenxiao Decree is not a rarity.

Yuan Lang has a considerable background, backed by a Crystallization Stage master in the Shenxiao Palace, obtaining better cultivation resources than even some Inner Sect disciples.

He’s accumulated over ten Shenxiao Decrees.

Now, offering three as an incentive for cooperation, once the task is completed and he returns to the sect, he could trade task merits for at least three more Shenxiao Decrees.

Hearing Yuan Lang’s proposal for cooperation, Lu Yuanshan found it almost unbelievable.

Would killing Liang Zhennan, an item Shenxiao Palace generally wouldn’t sell, really earn three more Shenxiao Decrees just for the Cyan Mountain Sect’s assistance?

"Brother, if Liang Zhennan is truly just at the Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation, slightly stronger than the Gu Daoist, I think we should accept this cooperation."

Lu Changfeng, always impatient and tempted by the reward, spoke up.

Three Shenxiao Decrees, equivalent to three Tier One High-grade Talismans — who in the Cyan Mountain Sect wouldn’t be tempted by this?

"I think it’s feasible."

At this point, Lu Ping’s communication echoed in Lu Yuanshan’s mind.

"Ask them if they know Liang Zhennan’s current location, whether he has allies, and if he carries other deadly weapons. It’s essential to ask the relevant questions thoroughly."
