Chapter 744: Chapter 2 Business Field 【2 in 1】_2

"Stop embarrassing yourself," Huyan Dong scolded.

Anyone with a discerning eye would know that this child, a spokesperson for the Mang Mountain disciples, was clinging to unrealistic dreams, it was a sight that his father could no longer endure.

It was a tragic story that this child seemed to be far more intelligent and composed than his own son.

"I’m sorry, Big Brother Huyan," Chu Yi replied. "On the contrary, it was I who asked Li Jiantong to invite both of you here. As of now, I have severed all ties with Red Cotton Peak."

Upon hearing this, Huyan Bin’s face turned ashen.

Huyan Dong inwardly said ’I knew it,’ but pressed on. "You’ve broken up with Red Cotton Peak? But you are willing to oppose Taotie City for the sake of Shu Mountain. Is it just out of deep affection?"

"You don’t need to trouble yourself with that, I have my own reasons," Chu Yi glanced at Huyan Bin. "I didn’t expect them to be so brutal. I only instructed them to ask you a few questions, how did it turn into such a torment?" Chu Yi frowned looking at Li Jiantong.

The charismatic leader of the Mang Mountain disciples stepped back and knelt before Chu Yi, "I am ready to accept my punishment."

Without saying anything, Chu Yi had him continue kneeling. He then addressed Huyan Dong, "What I really want has little to do with the ancestral properties of Taotie City, it is simply an incidental matter. You must both realize that what I’ve given to the Mang Mountain disciples is far greater than the treasures left behind by Taotie City. I’m interested in something else."

Huyan Dong looked at this child with his deep designs, wondering what he would ask.

"I know that Taotie City served under Venerable Wanfa’s Sect before turning to Penglai," Chu Yi slowly said. "If I want to ask for Castellan Huyan’s assistance to meet with Venerable Wanfa, and then release you and your son, would you agree?"

Taotie City, located in the North Region, lacks the presence of an Eighth Realm cultivator, and therefore seeks external assistance. Over the past few centuries, Venerable Wanfa from the Northern Region Holy Mountain has been their object of reverence, to whom they send large amounts of resources each year.

In the North Region, as long as you’re in Venerable Wanfa’s favor, you can remain safe. No matter how powerful an individual becomes, they must exhibit some degree of reverence for the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

However, later when Taotie City engaged in competition with Red Cotton Peak, the confines of the influence in the North Region no longer sufficed, thus they started to lean on Penglai Upper Sect. Taotie City gradually distanced itself from the Sacred Mountain as they obtained protection from the strong cultivators of Penglai, affording them more opportunities.

Despite the fact that they’ve had hundreds of years of contact, even though Taotie City defected, it didn’t sever all ties completely. Had the attack on Taotie City by the Mang Mountain disciples not been so swift, the Northern Region Holy Mountain might have come to their aid.

"So, you want Venerable Wanfa’s protection as well?" Huyan Dong asked darkly, "A group of rebellious demonic race members..."

"I only want a discussion. Without the protection of an Eighth Realm cultivator, one cannot survive in this world," Chu Yi said. "Castellan Huyan, you don’t need to worry about my actions. Just tell me if you agree to this deal."

Without any hesitation, Huyan Dong replied, "Deal."

...

Cang Sheng Cave Residence on Mirage Mountain.

The Sect Leader of the Penglai Upper Sect has his own palace, but he doesn’t give up his original dwelling. Daoist Cang Sheng often practices in his cave residence rather than in the Main Hall of the Sect Leader.

His cave residence is also in the best location on Mirage Mountain, atop high cliffs next to the sea, a place of dense divine trees where the wind blows freely from the open sea.

At this moment, Yang Shenlong stood on the open ground, letting the wind rustle his clothing and toss his hair while remaining silent for a long time.

Crash—

The Main Gate of the cave residence opened, and Daoist Xuan Lu stepped out, saying lightly, "You may enter."

Without speaking, Yang Shenlong glanced at Xuan Lu and headed inside.

The death of Qi Lin’er was largely due to Xuan Lu, and he was initially expected to face punishment no matter how much Daoist Cang Sheng favored him. However, it seemed that Daoist Cang Sheng only sent him on a trip to the Far West and didn’t punish him severely.

It might be because ignorance is bliss.

Godly resurrection is a highly confidential matter and can’t be widely propagated. If it fails for some reason, it can be explained as the will of heaven.

But Yang Shenlong wasn’t willing to comply with heaven’s will.

That was why he sought out Daoist Cang Sheng today.

The cave residence was spacious. After entering the forecourt, one had to walk down a lengthy corridor, past pavilions on both sides, to reach the place where Daoist Cang Sheng meditated regularly.

The furnishings here were simple: just a God’s Statue, some meditation cushions, and green smoke curling up in the quiet room.

"Sect Leader."

Upon seeing the figure seated with his eyes closed on the cushion, Yang Shenlong bowed.

"You seldom come to see me," Daoist Cang Sheng slowly opened his eyes, his voice gentle. "There must be an important matter."

It has often been said that Daoist Cang Sheng suppresses the Yang Family members in Penglai. However, only those on Mirage Mountain know that if the Sect Leader really wanted to suppress a clan with his authority, no matter how deeply rooted, it would have been eradicated long ago. He certainly wouldn’t have allowed Yang Shenlong to grow into an unparalleled prodigy known throughout the world.

In reality, Yang Shenlong had very little contact with the Sect Leader while he was growing up. Nevertheless, he received all the resources he needed, all of the highest grade.

"Qi Lin’er is dead," Yang Shenlong pondered before speaking. "Does the Sect Leader have a plan of action?"

"I sent Xuan Lu to the Far West, and learned some news," Daoist Cang Sheng answered. "That Chu Liang seems to have some secrets. It seems that those killed by the Eastern Sea Time Wheel don’t have an effect on him...and, it appears that he has something that the Demonic Clan wants."
