Chapter 778 - 715: The Active Red Dust Immortal of the All Things Path

Chapter 778: Chapter 715: The Active Red Dust Immortal of the All Things Path

Outside Capital Region Road, at the boundary between Chuan-Yu Road and Longyun Path, Qian Shanxiu, accompanied by his confidants, Sai Baihua and Xie Longtao, as well as three Purple Mansion Realm powerhouses and over a dozen loyal Spiritual Platform Realm powerhouses, was resting.

"Chief, what shall we do next?"

Someone frowned deeply and asked Qian Shanxiu.

After all, when it came to rebellion, everyone only thought about success and never considered failure.

Just like playing a game with red and green colors and numbers, everyone acts greedily where others fear to tread, with no one believing they’d lose!

What "defensive battle at 2700"?

It simply didn’t exist!

Nobody ever imagined that in the end, they might not even own their own underwear.

So, those who had once fantasized about securing noble titles and a life of happiness with eight concubines were now showing desperate expressions as if they wouldn’t mind becoming someone else’s concubine if they could.

Only Qian Shanxiu remained unfazed.

"Rest assured, although we have failed this time, don’t forget, our Town Demon Office has been operating in Longyou Road for so many years!"

Xie Longtao, who was nearby, couldn’t help but say, "But after all, the Town Demon Office also belongs to Kaihuang; it’s not ours!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Shanxiu snorted disdainfully.

"How can you have such a foolish thought? In name, the Town Demon Office certainly belongs to Kaihuang, but in reality, over these years, do you think my role as the Chief was meaningless?"

"Moreover, we knew the rebellion was doomed and fled, but we also rescued the North Wind Wolf King. Originally, the three superior demons of All Things Path were reached out to by us on behalf of the Crown Prince. Now, with the two companions of the Northern Wolf King dead, our relationship with the Wolf King can be considered as having weathered adversity together. Right before we left the Capital Region Road, I even offered him some crucial advice. He is now sneaking into Daxing City, aiming to seize that trump card!"

"A trump card?!"

Everyone present was curious about what kind of trump card there could be in the Capital for them to hold in their hands.

"Don’t worry, with the North Wind Wolf King’s speed, failure is impossible. And once he has that trump card, we’ll have more leverage. After we arrive at Longyou Road, it will be time for us to regroup and even carve out our own territory!"

Originally, everyone thought all their future prospects were doomed.

But after hearing what Qian Shanxiu said, many regained their confidence.

Especially as over the past year, calamities had been unceasing everywhere.

Even the Demon Clan of Longyou Road had started to become restless.

Therefore, the Town Demon Office transferred seventy percent of Great Sui’s military power to Longyou Road.

It can be said that Longyou Road is now the concentration of the entire elite force of the Town Demon Office.

If the Town Demon Office were to ally with the Demon Clan, they might indeed be able to take Longyou Road for themselves.

At that moment, many cultivators of the Town Demon Office began to daydream about the possibilities.

Meanwhile, in an underground cave in Longyou Road—

Faint sunlight streamed down through a natural skylight in the cave, shining upon a large female goat.

However, this female goat was unusual, with only one slightly curved horn on her head.

Beside her, many rats were transporting large platters made of woven grass, each filled with a variety of fruits and even some medicinal herbs.

It seemed as if they wanted to offer everything fresh and of the best quality that could be found in Longyou Road to this revered female goat.

However, behind the mother goat’s ear, an eye suddenly opened.

But she did not look towards the food that had been brought in; instead, she glanced at the giant rat sitting not far away.

Feeling her gaze, the giant rat immediately stood up.

"Dominant, how are you?"

At this moment, the huge mother goat looked at the rat, a trace of gratification flashing in her eyes.

But she still shook her head slightly.

The giant rat knew what she wanted to tell him and waved his hand.

Immediately, all the rats and their offspring left with their belongings, leaving only the two of them from the Demon Clan in the vast underground cavern.

"Dominant, do you have any orders?"

"Thousand Eyes, there’s no need to trouble yourself for me anymore. I truly can’t eat anything now. Moreover, I don’t have the appetite to eat."

The giant rat, called Thousand Eyes, immediately shook his head and said, "How can you keep not eating? Don’t forget who you are. You are not just yourself; you are also the Red Dust Immortal of our All Things Path!"

Upon hearing this, the mother goat smiled wryly.

"Not long ago, two superior demons perished, and the fate of the All Things Path started to fracture. Given my current condition, I feel I won’t last much longer."

As she spoke, several eyes suddenly opened on the body of the mother goat.

"Thousand Eyes, you have already received some of my legacy and have carved out a path of your own. Among the Twelve Superior Demons, you are the one I trust the most. How about it if I pass on the position of Red Dust Immortal to you?"

If it were other superior demons, like the North Wind Wolf King, the Nether Thunder Gray Eagle, or even the Eight-Headed Heaven-Swallowing Python, they might have agreed on the spot upon hearing that the Master of All Things wanted to pass on the position of Red Dust Immortal to them.

The second sentence asked when the transfer would begin.

But the Thousand-Eyed Rat King just shook its head slightly and then sighed softly.

"Dominant, you know me. The reason I stay to look after you is because I too have felt that there is something wrong with the fate of the All Things Path. On the other hand, it is to repay the kindness you once showed me. But as for the Immortal Position of Red Dust, I really have no interest."

"After all, in my view, even if I were the Red Dust Immortal of the All Things Path, among so many creatures in the All Things Path, only a very small portion are my descendants. I would only look after them and not pay much attention to the rest of the living beings."

"I, the Thousand-Eyed Rat King, have no interest in such power and authority at all."

"If there really is something in this world that could concern me, it would probably be face! As the Rat King among the Demon Clan, the ancestor to nearly all rats, I just hope that no matter where I go, I have face, I have status! That is enough for me! The position of Red Dust Immortal holds no interest to me."

This kind of talk might seem hypocritical to many.

But the mother goat knew that what the Thousand-Eyed Rat King said was true.

Thinking of her confidant, the only one among the Twelve Superior Demons she could fully trust, and yet he was unwilling to accept the position of Red Dust Immortal, the mother goat couldn’t help but sigh again.

"In fact, I don’t mind telling you straightforwardly. Now, I can no longer see the future of the All Things Path."

The Thousand-Eyed Rat King frowned.

He knew that when the Red Dust Immortal said such things to him directly, it meant that the situation of the All Things Path was even more serious than he had imagined.

"No! Dominant, it is because you have seen the future of the All Things Path that you speak this way."

The mother goat shook her head slightly, and the eyes on her body closed one by one.

"Perhaps we need to look further into the future. It could be that the future of the All Things Path might need to rely not on the Demon Clan but on others..."
