Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 380 - 271: Saint Silver Coin, Demon Buddha at Ease_2
"The number of cultivators and demons in the Demon City region today far exceeds that of the past."
"The occurrences of those abnormal celestial phenomena just now further corroborate this, with more cultivators and demons rushing over."
"Among them, there is no shortage of old demons and old monsters from the Cavernous Mystery Realm. I don't know where Zhu Qi gets such confidence, isn't he afraid that some cultivators from the Ultimate Happiness Realm will be attracted and cause his conspiracy to fail?"
After these two had spoken, Yu Yanshi also frowned and followed up,
"The most troublesome thing is that Zhu Qi's forces are too many, and he has seized the initiative. Even if we sabotage him in secret, we can't stop their actions. The current state of Demon City is like a pot of water slowly coming to a boil, with ingredients jumping in one after another, just waiting for Zhu Qi to sweep them up and achieve his grand ambitions."
After saying this, Yu Yanshi's face softened slightly.
He earnestly turned to Tao Qian and expressed his thanks,
"However, we're indeed fortunate to have the help of Mr. Jin Lin, allowing us to have foreknowledge of his wolfish ambitions."
"It's unrealistic to try to snatch the Mountain and River Map."
"But we should be able to stop his Blood Sacrifice."
"As for those cultivators and demons blinded by greed, who came because of the precious treasures, they need not be bothered about for the moment. We already have plans for the four million disaster-stricken people. The National Salvation Congress has secretly built one hundred and eight Fish and Dragon Escape River Altars in various camps. When Zhu Qi is ready to perform the Blood Sacrifice, Immortal Master Tianjiang will take action himself, trigger the altars, and call upon the mighty Tianjiang River to take away all four million disaster-stricken people."
"It just so happens that the food supplies prepared by the National Salvation Congress could also be put to good use, ensuring that not a single disaster-stricken person suffers a loss."
"Without the disaster-stricken people, Zhu Qi would have no source for a Blood Sacrifice, making it impossible for him to refine that supreme treasure."
"However, to prevent the desperate mutt from jumping over the wall when he discovers that Yin Qiye has betrayed him and seizing his position, and then ordering the Heavenly Demon Army to slaughter the people of Demon City to make up the numbers, the National Salvation Congress has also set up Arrays outside the Prince Zhao Mansion to block communications. At the critical moment, let Yin Qiye lead the Heavenly Demon Army out of Demon City under the pretext of fighting the Fungus Demon Army."
"As for the Cao Gang, White Lotus Sect, Changchun Society and the like... We have secretly liaised with Qingjing Temple, Xuan Miao Temple, and others, using strategies to deflect troubles elsewhere, ensuring they can't cause any mischief."
"The only problem is Zhu Qi's master, Taishang Demon Saint True Monarch Lingwa."
"Mr. Jin Lin had previously sent a message saying there was already a way to deal with this fiend?"
Not just Yu Yanshi, but Li Wenyan, Shi Yingqiong, and others all looked over with concerned eyes.
Their eyes were full of surprise, doubt, and a hint of disbelief.
That was quite normal.
How powerful was Lingwa?
Being a cultivator of the Ultimate Happiness Realm, even the Tianjiang Immortal Master, one of the Three Immortals of the Great Wilderness, admitted he was no match for Lingwa.
Although they all knew that Tao Qian had a mysterious origin and was certainly no Overseas Dragon Demon,
But how could a nobody like him solve a Taishang Demon, whose name resounded throughout the entire Cultivation World? ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Tao Qian's mind raced, grateful that his previous choice had been the right one.
The response of the National Salvation Congress was very thorough.
Apart from one of the Three Immortals of the Great Wilderness being elsewhere and therefore unable to face Lingwa's high-end combat power,
From top to bottom, the National Salvation Congress had corresponding arrangements.
If it were Tao Qian alone, naturally, he could do nothing.
However, this calamity was, after all, his to bear.
Upon hearing this, Tao Qian did not hide anything and directly transmitted a message to them,
"With my meager mana, naturally, I cannot deal with Lingwa."
"But if I can't, it doesn't mean others can't."
"I've learned that Lingwa has a sworn enemy, none other than the Kongchan Arhat from the Demon Buddha Temple. I've specifically sent a message and negotiated a deal with him. Today, the Arhat will take action to lure Lingwa away from Demon City."
These few words fell on their ears, and the group was stunned at first, then all showed expressions of joy.
Those aspiring to save the country and the world often do not stick to the divide between Daoist, Buddhist, Demon, and Devil.
Tao Qian thought for a moment, then suddenly dropped another bombshell,
"Although Zhu Qi's forces are vast, they are extremely complex."
"You also know that I have taken on the identity of Guest Elder at the residence of Elder Zhang Baisui to conduct covert investigations, discovering that Zhang Jiudeng and Zhu Qi actually each have their own schemes."
"Especially Zhang Jiudeng, who actually possesses an Ancestor God Fragment that has turned into a treasure called the Sheji Seal, which works in conjunction with the Mountain and River Map. He plans to take advantage of Zhu Qi's treasure refining to play out a scenario of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; a dog-eat-dog scheme."
"Hisss"
Upon hearing this significant secret, the young prodigies all appeared dumbfounded.
They were about to ask for more details when suddenly, a figure appeared beside Tao Qian without any warning. It was a mechanical species holding a long fork with a Treasure Wheel hanging behind his back.
As soon as Lian Jing'er appeared, he spoke in a mechanical voice, "Target detected along with multiple related targets showing unusual energy signatures, a 90 percent probability that the target has initiated his plan ahead of schedule... According to Little Age's information, this probability rises to 100 percent."
He had just finished speaking when a bronze fingertip touched the Void, and a sight from the distant mountains outside Demon City appeared. Little Age's adorable face was full of defeat, and through the light and shadows, he shouted in panic,
"Something terrible has happened."
"The big group of stinky stinky mushrooms that you asked me to watch, while they were originally progressing leisurely, suddenly discovered an unguarded shortcut without Forbidden Technique alarms, they've used a burrowing technique to cross over a thousand miles, and they should already be near your location."
With Little Age's words, everyone, including Tao Qian, showed a look of dread.
Stinky stinky mushroom people were undoubtedly the Fungus Demon Army under the Fourth Prince Zhu Xuan, cruel and ruthless, with uncanny methods and unparalleled in slaughter.
The original plan that Tao Qian and the National Salvation Congress had coordinated was to have Yin Qiye lead the Heavenly Demon Army out of Demon City to fight this group of fungus demons in the mountains, where deaths and injuries mattered not, as both sides were a scourge to the common Mortal Human Race.
