Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 337 - 245: Suddenly Knowing the Secret, Annihilation Divine Needle
Due to Tao Qian's interference, a battle of spells and a massacre ended in a different way.
The Ghost Cultivators sent by the Six Paths Sect from Demon City were wiped out, remnants of the Red Cloud Sect were wiped out, and the cultivators from Heavenly Immortal Dao Sect who came to protect the sole child of Zhang Jiudeng were wiped out...
After learning the outcome, the Demon Cultivators of the Ninth Prince's Mansion casually consoled Zhang Baisui, the young master, and indeed, as Tao Qian had predicted, they didn't lay a hand on Jin Xiuju, the orphan of the Jin Mansion; they completely ignored her.
However, it was another of Tao Qian's disguises, the Dragon Demon known by the Taoist name "Jin Lin."
As Zhang Baisui thought, he had made a name for himself thoroughly in the Cultivation World of Demon City.
It made perfect sense, for Tao Qian had publicly killed the Cavernous Mystery Realm cultivator, the ogre Liu Qingpan, with his Transcend Mortality Realm cultivation.
Defeating an enemy above one's level!
In the Cultivation World, it was always big news.
If it happened elsewhere, in another territory, it would undoubtedly be discussed and studied over and over again for months.
But it was different here because, recently, there had been quite a few cultivators who had risen to fame in one fell swoop like the Dragon Demon.
Such as the True Inheritors from major sects, or some cultivators with great fortune and impressive combat achievements, like the inheritor of the Secret Demon Sect, who nearly killed the Demon City Giant Merchant, Liu Hongsheng, at the Medicine King Temple Market in a fight against four.
Nowadays, Demon City was a mixture of dragons and snakes, turbulent and stormy.
Everyone was waiting for the so-called "Treasure Convention" hosted by the Ninth Prince Zhu Qi, all eager to find out what the Supreme Treasure possessed by the Ninth Prince was as per the legend.
In the Cultivation World, there were many lawless individuals, many cultivators, demons, and alien species who simply disregarded these matters and sought to invade Prince Zhao's Mansion day and night.
They employed all kinds of means, stopping at nothing.
Unfortunately, most of them never returned.
Despite suffering losses in face of the Taishang Demon Sect, Secret Demon Sect, Evil Sect, and Demon Buddha Temple, the Demon Sect still held its major status and had no trouble dealing with these petty characters.
Tao Qian had dispatched the Red Lady Demon, lurking inside "Lady Mei" without taking action, also considering this.
The Taishang Demon Sect had been beaten several times by the Secret Demon Sect; how could they not be prepared against the Secret Demon Means? freewёbnoνel.com
But it mattered little, as there were others who could lead to calamity, not just Lady Mei alone.
At that moment!
In the Zhang Mansion, which had been rebuilt in a few hours by the cultivators from Heavenly Mechanism Building, summoned with silver banknotes by Zhang Baisui.
Tao Qian had secured a large quiet room, embracing Yunrong, engaged in the act of eavesdropping.
He closed his eyes and focused, secretly forming the Summoning Demon Dharma Seal.
His Primordial Spirit sat upright on the Spirit Platform Secret Acupoint, establishing a subtle connection with the "Chan Xin Demon."
Soon, Tao Qian saw a blurry scene:
In another quiet room, Zhang Baisui was holding a copper mirror Magical Treasure.
First, he shone it around to ensure no one was spying.
Then he reached out and rubbed the edge of the mirror a few times, and immediately, the mirror surface burst into dazzling brilliance, flashing several times, and reflecting a face both majestic and somewhat comical.
The face somewhat resembled Zhang Baisui's but appeared older with a mustache turned up in curls.
As soon as the face appeared, before Zhang Baisui could speak,
The person's loud voice came through first; he coughed up some old phlegm and then scolded with a laugh:
"My little bastard, not enjoying yourself in Demon City but looking for your father, have you run out of money again?"
Zhang Baisui obviously was aware of this greeting; after listening to his absurd father's words,
He then explained the many changes that had occurred during the day.
Just a moment ago, the absurd and comical warlord Zhang Jiudeng immediately changed his expression after hearing this, becoming majestic and solemn, his eyes flashing with a hawk-like sharpness.
Despite his first words still carrying that usual tone,
"Damn it, I told Shangguan E, that old thing, a long time ago that Zhu Quanfu is an ungrateful, cowardly white-eyed wolf. Though his cultivation isn't bad, he lacks courage and wisdom. He's bound to end up as cannon fodder. Didn't expect it to come true so quickly."
"Good, my little bastard, don't worry, with this episode involving you, I'll be able to extort quite a few nice things from Heavenly Immortal Dao, and I am sure it pains those hypocritical practitioners of the Evil Path. Speaking of which, I've long had my eyes on their newly created [Nine Heavens Phoenix Girl]; oh, that appearance, that figure, I'll have my fun again."
"..."
In front of the copper mirror, Zhang Baisui felt extremely weary.
Is this what he meant? His own son was almost killed by his guards, yet his father wasn't thinking of revenge or exterminating Heavenly Immortal Dao across Ancient Qin Province, but using this incident for extortion? And the target of the extortion was that illegitimate goddess nourished by Incense Fire Divine Power.
Recalling the humiliating scene during the day, when he was thrown to Liu Qingpan by Zhu Quanfu and others, Zhang Baisui's face showed grief, and he was almost in tears.
Seeing this, Zhang Jiudeng immediately cursed:
"Look at this pathetic sight of yours; aren't you fine? If you dare to cry, I'll send someone to beat you to death right now."
"I really wonder if you're truly my son. If it weren't for that old Taoist skilled in [Seven Birds Divine Calculation] who said that I, Zhang Jiudeng, could only have one son in my lifetime, and indeed, despite being with so many women over the years, not one has bore another child, I would have beaten you to death a long time ago."
"Forget it, at most I'll spend a few more days with that so-called phoenix girl, making her cry for her father and mother, and take revenge for you."
He was only halfway through speaking when his words took another derogatory turn.
Zhang Baisui silently composed his expression, presenting a serious demeanor, and directly revealed the presence of Xiuzhu, Jin Lin, and Yunrong.
He also informed him of the plans to fulfill the marriage agreement and to recruit these two Transcend Mortality Cultivators as Guest Elders using the resources of the Zhang Family.
After he finished speaking, Zhang Jiudeng surprisingly considered it seriously for a moment or two, then nodded and said:
