Chapter 717: Chapter 670: Undercurrent (Seeking monthly votes at the beginning of the month)_3

He was only acting discreetly because of Jin Gangzi.

’If you knew that behind me was Changqingzi, one of the top echelons of the human race, I wonder if you would be scared to pee yourself...’

Glancing at Yunxi and Liu Xu with a bit of malice, Fang Xi turned serious, "Regarding this matter... please forgive us for not being able to disclose anything."

"Good, very good indeed!"

A flash of blue crossed Prime Taoist Gu’s face as he sneered, "Do not think I have no way of dealing with you all. My leader and the leader of the Yaksha Camp have a good relationship. You will suffer in the future... It’s still not too late to realize your mistake and turn back..."

Fang Xi and his two companions responded with silence.

After several cold laughs, Prime Taoist Gu transformed into a streak of blue light and swiftly left.

Some time after the array was closed, Liu Xu said, "Confirming one’s identity in the Lower Realm involves more than just reporting one’s name... Prime Taoist Gu will also implant a secret skill into the body of Ascending Immortals to ensure they cannot lie... And once it’s done, it seems like even if one joins Prime Taoist Gu’s faction, they are not highly regarded within the Sky Brahman Army."

Fairy Yunxi gave a bitter smile, "Once we refuse, Prime Taoist Gu will seek revenge. If we don’t refuse, we’ll also be treated differently in the Sky Brahman Army... Are we not then like a rat trapped in a bellows, pressured from both ends?"

"Ultimately, it’s because we Ascending Immortals have a shallow foundation and lack support..." Fang Xi said indifferently, "However, now is actually a good time to band together... There are far more than a few of us Ascending Immortals, and quite a number have rejected Prime Taoist Gu. We could try to get in touch with them."

"Besides, if we sincerely wish to join and become a direct branch of the Sky Brahman Army, then Prime Taoist Gu and his leader behind the scenes would not dare to act rashly against us..." Liu Xu offered another suggestion.

Currently, the three of them were akin to mercenary soldiers, free to reclaim their independence after a thousand years, far from being considered a direct branch. That’s why Prime Taoist Gu could openly talk of revenge.

If they sincerely joined the Sky Brahman Army, he would likely not dare to do so.

As cultivators from the Lower Realm, each had their own insights and strategies, and were not likely to be stumped by a minor dilemma.

"Exactly..."

Fang Xi stood up and said, "I’ll leave this matter in your hands. I’m going out to explore the black markets outside..."

"Leaving the camp is extremely dangerous..."

Fairy Yunxi’s face turned solemn.

Although now was not a time of great war, the outside world was filled with Wild Beasts, various natural disasters, and even spies from the Two Tribes of Demons and Monsters!

The black markets were even more chaotic, and neither Yunxi nor Liu Xu dared to venture there together.

"I have to try."

Fang Xi sighed.

...

A few days later.

Fang Xi became a streak of Escape Light and arrived at a side door of the military camp.

"Who goes there?"

The cultivators stationed here were all Transcendent Gods, each concealing a profound aura, not to be underestimated.

"A Captain of the Yaksha Camp, wishing to go out for a while!"

Fang Xi presented his gold leaf credentials.

"Oh, it’s a new friend." The Transcendent God on the other side accepted and glanced at the gold leaf, then smiled, "Remember, my friend, to return within the repair period. Otherwise, you’ll be considered a deserter and be wanted by the entire human race, and it’s no joke."

"Thank you for the reminder, I’m aware of the seriousness," Fang Xi said as he took back his gold leaf and expressed his gratitude with a cupped-fist salute.

Previously, all newly ascended individuals had left a Magic Power imprint with Hua Yan, along with various other details.

If one were to desert, they would immediately be regarded as a traitor to the human race, to be hunted down by all.

In such a scenario, aside from fleeing to the Great Wild or becoming a lackey to the Demons and Monsters, there truly wouldn’t be many other options available.

For many Transcendent God cultivators, it would be a loss not worth the gain.

After all, there is currently no Tri-clan War, and the Three Realms Mountain is relatively peaceful.

For a Transcendent God, a thousand years may not be short, but it’s bearable with a little patience.

In the Sky Brahman Army, they are not prohibited from cultivation, and they can even exchange for some rare cultivation resources. There are no major inconveniences.

Even many Ascending Immortals, after serving a thousand-year term, prefer to stay with the Sky Brahman Army.

This is especially true for buddhist cultivators from the Brahman Sect.

After all, the nominal commander of the Sky Brahman Army is Jin Gangzi, who is regarded as a ’Buddha’s Disciple’ by countless buddhist cultivators in the Earth Immortal Realm!

After passing an examination, Fang Xi entered a massive hall and stepped into a teleportation array.

Hum!

The teleportation array roared and, amidst the dizzying whirl of the heavens and earth, he arrived above a swamp.

A thin layer of mist, seemingly laced with deadly poison, wafted through the air.

Fang Xi’s body generated a layer of emerald Demon Flames, creating a whirlpool that devoured all of the toxic mists.

His Six Demon Flames could hold various Demon Fires, each with its own properties, including one that could swallow up deadly poisons and enhance the flame’s might.

"The nearest black market should be around Three Yin Mountain... I’ve got to hurry," Fang Xi murmured, transforming into a streak of demonic light and speeding away.

Whoosh whoosh!

The high skies of the Earth Immortal Realm were perilous, with cold gusts capable of dispersing the protective aura of Transcendent God cultivators!

Encountering Primordial Chaos Beasts comparable to the levels of Returning to Emptiness or Integration was not an impossibility either.

Thus, many cultivators dare not fly too high when traveling, maintaining a sufficient height just above the ground.

After flying tens of thousands of miles, Fang Xi flicked his sleeve.

A dark red light emerged, transforming into a fiery-red strange bird that flapped its wings and quickly vanished into the horizon.

This strange bird was none other than Demon Lord Chi Lian!

Fang Xi had previously arranged a way to contact her and a meeting spot; releasing this demoness was also part of collecting True demon qi.

In the Earth Immortal Realm, anything could happen – perhaps this woman, by a stroke of luck, would break free from her prohibitions.
