Chapter 1468: Chapter 1469: Taotie True Blood

In the deepest part of General’s Tomb, before an ancient altar, a middle-aged man dressed in linen sat on a stone chair, surrounded by countless limbs and broken parts of beasts.

Some had been weathered into dry bones over the long years, while others still had traces of dried blood dripping to the ground.

Around the altar, numerous odd and ferocious beasts were held within their own prohibitions, looking dismal.

Not too many figures moved within the altar, making various adjustments to these beasts.

"Mountain Lord, there’s been an incident in the back mountain."

"The back mountain?"

The middle-aged man who had been resting his head in his hand opened his eyes slowly upon hearing this and pondered before saying, "Didn’t I station that Azure Dragon there to guard the area? Even though that creature isn’t directly under our control at the moment, with its strength, it should suffice as a mere gatekeeper, shouldn’t it?"

"I understand, but considering Mr. Cui had previously advised us to act discreetly recently, I’m slightly worried..."

Bang!

Before the subordinate could finish speaking, the middle-aged man slammed his palm onto the stone table in front of him, and the immense Qi Force instantly shattered the limbs and broken parts beside him.

"Don’t mention that Cui Manlou to me, what is he! He’s nothing but someone who received some predecessor’s legacy, and now he thinks he can shit on my head! I gave him a bit of face, and now he really thinks he can represent all of the heads of the Demonic Path?"

Unlike Cui Manlou, the middle-aged man was a remnant of the Demonic Path, a survivor of the Demonic Path who had weathered the war a hundred years ago.

Although he had not achieved the level of Earth Immortal, his unique Cultivation Technique and unrivaled beast taming methods gave him a particularly special status within the Demonic Path.

Evidently, this Mountain Lord held no good feelings toward Cui Manlou.

"Mountain Lord, please calm your anger, Cui Manlou is still a young man after all, it’s normal for him to lack discretion in his actions. However, the General’s Tomb is a critical place for our Demonic Path; even if we cannot obtain the Secret Treasure left by the ancient Xuanyuan Clan, we must never allow this place to fall into others’ hands."

"Do I need you to tell me how to handle matters?"

The middle-aged man said coldly, a flash of murderous intent briefly passing in his eyes, immediately causing the Demonic Path cultivator in front of him to lower his head, not daring to meet his gaze.

But considering the current phase of expansion of the Demonic Path’s power, he refrained from harming this confidant who had followed him for a long time.

After pondering a while, he looked toward the position directly in front, his eyes narrowing as he said, "There seems to be a visitor at the main entrance; it looks like the White Tiger who hails from the Four Divine Beasts."

"How is that possible, didn’t the Mountain Lord personally lay down the prohibitions before the main entrance? How could these people possibly find the entrance?"

The Mountain Lord coldly glanced at the individual and said softly, "The world is vast and full of wonders, having little experience, you naturally cannot comprehend what kind of techniques these Righteous Path cultivators hold to counter us. That White Tiger has most likely sought help."

"Do we need to ask for reinforcements?"

"Ask whom for reinforcements? Those Demon Gods who are still observing, or that ignorant Cui Manlou? His so-called alliance plan, in my eyes, is nothing but child’s play! Those Nether Clan members can’t even take down the Bei Luo Empire; even if we completely consume them, it’s utterly useless for our conquest of Xia Country!"

The Mountain Lord spoke with rising emotion, making no attempt to conceal his dissatisfaction with all of Cui Manlou’s actions.

The Demonic Path cultivator beneath him, whose strength was only at the Nascent Soul level, didn’t dare to speak carelessly and kept his head lowered, silent.

The middle-aged Mountain Lord slowly rose to his feet, his gaze sweeping across the prohibitions imprisoning countless ferocious beasts, muttering to himself, "To forge iron, one must be strong oneself. To truly plunge the Xia Country into chaos, only one’s own power can be trusted. Those two divine beasts are the opportunity, as long as we gain complete control over them, that will be the moment when the Demonic Path truly rises."

"Milord, isn’t it true that you have yet to find a method to fully control them?"

Divine beasts or ferocious beasts, both stand at the peak of existence in this world.

Although the middle-aged Mountain Lord had immersed himself in the Way of Beast Taming for many years, even so, he had not mastered the method to fully control the two, just as Bai Qiu had anticipated.

Despite spending a hundred years deep within the General’s Tomb, he had still not gained full control over the Taotie, one of the Four Ferocious Beasts.

"Who says I don’t have it now, just because I didn’t have it before?"

The Mountain Lord snorted coldly and then took out a vial exuding a wild aura from his hands. Even from a considerable distance, one could feel the dangerous aura emanating from it.

"Is this the Gluttonous Essence Blood?"

"This is the key to controlling divine beasts. I was originally planning to experiment on the Azure Dragon after I had fully prepared everything. However, since these fools have delivered themselves to our doorstep, I might as well start the procedure with her."

The Essence Blood was directly thrown to the Nascent Soul Demon Daoist by the Mountain Lord, who said in a cold voice, "Take the two fully subdued ferocious beasts to the main entrance and find a way to introduce this vial of Taotie Essence Blood into the White Tiger’s body."

The Nascent Soul stared at the Essence Blood in his hand and swallowed hard, well aware that the object in his hand was far more precious than a God-ranked Elixir.

"Milord, what about the others?"

"This place is of great importance; absolutely no one must be allowed to leave alive. Apart from the two divine beasts, kill without mercy anyone who intrudes."

After dropping these words, the middle-aged Mountain Lord’s figure instantly vanished from the spot. He had just sensed abnormal fluctuations and was ready to personally visit the back courtyard.

With the disappearance of the Mountain Lord, the oppressing sensation unique to those of the Hollow Void Realm also dissipated.

It was then that the Nascent Soul Demon Daoist finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had stayed with the Mountain Lord in this place for a century, he still felt a genuine sense of fear in front of his master.

He looked down at the Taotie Essence Blood in his hand, stored it carefully, and glanced at the altar on both sides.

After selecting two ferocious beasts at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, he used a technique to collect them into the space within his sleeves.

Once everything was ready, he did not rush towards the front to find Su Chengyu and Bai Qiu.

Moving through the familiar pathways within the General’s Tomb, he rapidly arrived at an extremely concealed location.

He took out the Taotie Essence Blood that he had just acquired and produced a round mirror from his bosom.

After confirming again that there were no others nearby, the Nascent Soul Demon Daoist then performed a secret technique, and soon, a refined and gentle face of a man appeared on the once ordinary mirror.

"Finally, you’ve come. Little demon, has there finally been some action at the General’s Tomb?"

The man in the mirror seemed not at all surprised by the call, speaking softly with a smile.

"Yes, Lord Cui."

On the round mirror, the face that appeared was that of Cui Manlou, a man whom the middle-aged Mountain Lord found utterly repulsive from the bottom of his heart.
