Becoming a true immortal through my descendents' praying-Chapter 939 - 553: Why Are You Pretending?

"Hmph! I also disdain using such despicable means. In this era of great contention, there are opportunities aplenty. Didn’t you say... the emergence of the three rankings is merely a signal for the beginning of the era of great contention; after the Trial Tower, there will be new Secret Realms, there will always be chances!"

Clap, clap, clap~

Yin Zhiping clapped his hands and said, "Well said, righteous and majestic Douyang Cultivator... In that case, let’s pretend nothing happened today. It seems we three brothers were mistaken; you may leave at your convenience."

The three saw that the Douyang Cultivator was set on not joining their plan, so they didn’t bother to persuade him further.

The three had just exchanged Divine Senses and concluded that, even without the Douyang Cultivator, they believed that as long as there were no surprises with the Liu Family, it would suffice.

But the Douyang Cultivator remained motionless.

"You’re still not leaving? Or do you really want us to seal you in a coffin?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

The Douyang Cultivator looked at the dense horde of demons outside.

"Considering the years we’ve maintained decent relations, I offer you a suggestion... Those who are not of our clan surely have different intentions. If these demons genuinely breach Trial Town, will Coffin Town... truly remain intact?"

"Liu Changqing says..."

"Hehe~ He’s a despicable man. Do you trust the promises he gives?"

"Well... we can always migrate collectively to Zone 9; in any case, the Liu Family will provide that region to us, and our power ensures he won’t dare to act recklessly."

"Today, the Liu Family can betray the Yang Family; tomorrow, they can betray your Yin Family. Liu Changqing is capable of joining forces with the demons for his own gain; he has no limits."

"What are you trying to say?"

"You’re being used as pawns by the Liu Family... They’re targeting you Yin Family members who are straightforward, pulling you in at this critical moment. Once they’ve used you, they’ll surely discard you and find ways to eliminate you, driving you out of the Danai Dynasty."

"He doesn’t have that capability."

"What if... it’s not just him alone? If the Liu Family allies with the demon clan, what will you do then?"

"Enough!"

Yin Zhixiang interrupted the Douyang Cultivator’s words, pacing irritably, seemingly overloaded with thoughts.

"Step aside. Regardless of success, I will have the final say. I won’t let you critique me... you should leave, I won’t make things difficult for you."

"What if I don’t leave?"

"Courting death!"

Yin Zhixiang and his brothers were never adept at strategy. Listening to the Douyang Cultivator’s persistent talk made them agitated; their previously certain plans became confusing, which was very discomforting for them.

Now seeing the Douyang Cultivator still taking liberties, their anger surged.

The three of them lashed out in fury.

The Douyang Cultivator emitted intense flames, blocking the entrance to the Yin Family’s home.

"Magic of the Human Clan is meant for fighting demons, not for killing our kin!"

The Yin Family boasted three renowned figures.

Yin Zhixiang, Yin Zhiping, Yin Zhichou.

They were the most formidable individuals in the Yin Family, their strengths forming a neat sequence: Golden Core Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Layers.

Although their individual realms were less than Liu Changqing’s, the Yin Family’s [Corpse Refining Technique] allowed their combat power to not always match their realms. If they had a few powerful corpse puppets, they might be able to challenge across realms.

"Douyang Cultivator, this is the big matter I told you about!"

"None of us want the Yang Family to dominate, with the Liu Family leading; we only need to respond... and can entirely divide Bright City in half. We want Zone 9, they’ll take the main body."

"At that time, the corpses of the Yang Family, we’ll take them, further increasing our strength, while you can acquire the Yang Family’s wealth, gaining the resources to attempt breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage..."

"A triple win!"

Gazing at the Yin Family’s three brothers explaining, the Douyang Cultivator’s eyes widened in disbelief.

"The Liu Family wants to strike against the Yang Family?"

"The demon clan is moving... They’ve already struck now."

"Demons are involved? Then now..."

The Douyang Cultivator was taken aback and then flew high above Coffin Town, looking outside at the dense demon army crossing beyond Coffin Town, heading towards Trial Town.

"Our people are still over there..."

"Hehe~ Relax, with Murong Ziyuan there, they won’t be in danger for a while, and not too many will die. Even if Trial Town falls... by that time, we would have controlled Bright City and can easily defend."

Yin Zhichou said, squinting his eyes.

The Douyang Cultivator, upon hearing this, had thousands of thoughts flash through his mind...

"This entire plan was orchestrated by the Liu Family, wasn’t it?"

"Of course, these people are too cunning, but fortunately, they know to give us some scraps and broth even while feasting. By the time they and the Yang Family fight, producing corpses, we’ll gladly accept them."

"What do you want me to do?"

"It’s simple, first let the Demon Clan go through, let them trap the people of Trial Town, then we go to Bright City, assist the Liu Family in controlling the situation, and take over Bright City."

The Yin Family is pulling in the Douyang Cultivator, because the status of Douyang Cultivator has drastically declined over the years... he has been complaining that the Yang Family has become too domineering, not respecting him as an elder, and not listening to his guidance.

He has always resented the Yang Family and believed that the rules of the Danai Dynasty shouldn’t be dictated by the Yang Family, but should be decided collectively.

At this moment, he recalled the various exchanges over the years with the Yang Family... his originally conflicted face slowly became resolute.

"What goes around comes around, the consequences are caused by the seeds you sowed!"

Douyang Cultivator snorted coldly, having understood his own intentions.

Yin Zhichou chuckled and patted Douyang Cultivator’s shoulder.

"Congratulations on choosing the right path."

"That’s right, I will choose the most correct path."

Boom!!!

Douyang Cultivator’s sleeve exploded into a blazing flame, directly igniting Yin Zhichou behind him!

"Ah!! Are you crazy!?"

Yin Zhichou was ambushed, one of his hands was directly burnt to a crisp, and the flames spread across his body, engulfing him entirely!

Sizzle!

Yin Zhichou tore off his charred arm, flinging it away.

He retreated hundreds of meters, while communicating with his corpse puppet, two coffins floated up behind him.

"Old Corpse, rise!"

Both Yin Zhixiang and Yin Zhiping were shocked, and each attacked, sending Douyang Cultivator flying.

"Douyang! You need to give us brothers an explanation..."

"Otherwise, your only end will be in a coffin today."

The tension was palpable.

Douyang Cultivator patted his sleeve, sneering.

"Explanation? You do such despicable acts of betrayal... and ask me for an explanation?"

"But haven’t you also long disliked the Yang Family..."

"Indeed! I dislike the Yang Family, despise Yang Feng’s cocky ’I’m stronger than you’ attitude, dislike Yang Fu lecturing me on the rules of the Danai Empire, dislike Yang Qiangjing using trickery and gadgets! Creating firearms and laser swords, enabling a bunch of peasants to reach the twentieth layer, snatching away the Wisdom Fruit that belongs to all of us... I loathe their arrogance! But!"

Douyang Cultivator burst forth in intense flames, the aura of the Golden Core’s ninth layer fully unleashed!

"However... none of this is a reason to betray the Human Clan! Even those I dislike... are fighting for the Human Clan, dammit! Whereas you and the Liu Family, to seize power, allowed the Demon Clan to attack our compatriots, even killing true heroes resisting the Demon Clan! You are vile! Despicable! Shameless! Villains!"

"And you want me to become a traitor to the Human Clan with you? Hah! Disgusting!"

"You misjudged me!"

Douyang Cultivator cursed loudly, he truly wished he could burn Coffin Town to the ground!

The three Yin brothers looked at each other, all shocked.

Is this the Douyang Cultivator they knew?

Weren’t their plans supposed to align perfectly?

The Liu Family’s offer was very reasonable, great indeed, for the Yin Family and Douyang Cultivator, it was a win-win.

Yin Zhichou’s stump of a limb pulsated with red flesh, slowly regenerating a new arm.

The Yin Family specializes in body cultivation, most of these Golden Core Stage Cultivators are in the Nirvana Realm.

"Douyang Cultivator, your words are sanctimonious, pretending to be righteous... don’t you know why Murong Ziyuan struggles to reach the Nascent Soul Stage? Aren’t you tempted by the Yang Family’s wealth?"

Douyang Cultivator knew about Murong Ziyuan’s struggle to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

"Hmph! Yet I disdain using such vile methods, in times of great competition, opportunities abound. You said it yourselves... the emergence of the three rankings is merely the signal for the start of the great competition era, after the Trial Tower there will be new Secret Realms, there will always be opportunities!"

Clap clap clap ~

Yin Zhiping applauded, "Well said, what righteousness from Douyang Cultivator... since that’s the case, let today be as if nothing happened, we three brothers misjudged you, go ahead."

Seeing that Douyang Cultivator was determined not to join them, the three brothers weren’t bothered to keep him.

The three exchanged Divine Sense briefly, concluding that even without Douyang Cultivator, as long as nothing unexpected happened over at the Liu Family, it would suffice.

But Douyang Cultivator stood still.

"You’re not leaving? Perhaps you truly want us to put you in a coffin?"

Douyang Cultivator looked at the dark swarm of Demon Clan outside.

"Considering everyone’s face over the years held well enough, I’ll offer you a suggestion... those not of our kind will surely have a different heart, these Demon Clan as
