Chapter 596: Chapter 391: True Lord of a Hundred Demons Kidnaps the Devil Concubine, Joyful Demon Exerts Unfavorable Pressure.
Gao Buxi threw out bait, and sure enough, the Old Turtle Demon, Dog Immortal, and Qu Zhongyuan all changed their expressions, as an uncontrollable desire surfaced in their eyes.
What is the purpose of cultivation?
Nothing else, but to witness longevity and eternity.
There wasn’t a single Loose Cultivator who could resist the temptation to set foot in the Ultimate Happiness Realm.
But they were not foolish, for in this Cultivation World, there was no such thing as pie falling from the sky.
If there was, it had to be fishing, it had to be a trap.
Including Tao Qian, who was disguised as the "Wutong Master," none of the Four Demons responded but were silently contemplating.
Gao Buxi seemed to have anticipated this reaction and chuckled, deciding to lay all his cards on the table:
"That treasure from the Outer Realm, as well as the conditions to obtain this opportunity, were not meant to be divulged by me."
"But since all four of you are my friends, I’ll spill the beans ahead of time; should you choose not to accept, you mustn’t disclose this to anyone else, or else the wrath of the elders in my clan will be more than you can bear."
"The treasure is called the Ten Thousand Marvels Sky-reaching Treasure Banner, an artifact inscribed with the Ten Thousand Marvels Sky-reaching Divine Spell from the Outer Realm, capable of suppressing any Mutated beings in the Source Sea."
"Inside this Treasure Banner, there are thirty-six venerable positions, each usable once every century."
"My Gao family already occupies twelve positions, and the remaining twenty-four will be selected from among the Guest Elders and those paying Tribute to my family."
"Once under my command, as long as your contributions are sufficient, I, Gao Buxi, can assure you at least four venerable positions."
These words finally piqued the interest of the Four Demons.
The Old Turtle Demon, Deng Xuechao, was the most eager, asking quickly, "Oh? And what counts as a sufficient contribution?"
Following closely, Qu Zhongyuan shed his disdainful demeanor and asked urgently, "Is Lord Gao’s position in the Gao family really so high? You should know that this is an opportunity for a Breakthrough. Is it so easily obtained?"
Sensing the loosening resolve of the Four Demons, Gao Buxi, confident of victory, laughed heartily and began to answer one by one.
"Just so that the four of you are aware, my great-ancestor was ’True Lord of a Hundred Demons’, and in our family, four Ultimate Happiness Masters follow his lead."
"I committed an indecency against my aunt in the provincial city and yet I wasn’t killed for it, just feigned a punishment and got demoted to this Guangping City. Why? Simply because my ancestor dotes on me the most, and no one can kill me. If I can achieve merit and my subordinates can become strong people, these mere four venerable positions, my ancestor will surely grant them to me."
"As for what counts as a meritorious deed?"
Gao Buxi paused there to give the Four Demons time to digest the information.
At this moment, Yuan Gong’s voice transmitted to Tao Qian’s mind, filled with disdain.
"True Lord of a Hundred Demons Gao Yang, this person is the most absurd; he almost never considers any rules or reasons, especially disregarding human relations."
"However, his character does surprisingly align with the ’Hundred Demons Mad God Scripture’ he cultivates, and indeed, he has made a name with it."
"The boy isn’t lying; the four Ultimate Happiness Masters of the Gao family, with Gao Yang at the helm."
"But that so-called Ten Thousand Marvels Sky-reaching Treasure Banner surely has something fishy about it, heh, even your Spirit Treasure Sect doesn’t have such an assurance that someone can reach the Ultimate Happiness Realm with it, let alone a mere Gao family. Even if it really all comes to fruition, afterward, you’ll surely become the Gao family’s dogs."
While Yuan Gong clarified Tao Qian’s doubts, Gao Buxi continued to tempt the Four Demons.
And next, his words fully confirmed Tao Qian’s previous feelings and guesses.
He spoke with a conspiratorial air, "Have the four of you ever heard of the Devil Concubine Yuan Mingzhen?"
Upon hearing this, the Old Turtle Demon’s expression suddenly revealed lewd and vulgar desires, chiming in:
"I’ve heard, I’ve heard; I’ve heard that she was trained by Guanyin Temple to be a top female Bodhisattva, possessing the Heavenly Phoenix Body and, combined with her Empress Fate Chart, anyone who unites with her could receive untold benefits; scaling to heaven in a single step wouldn’t be an exaggeration."
"That aside, what truly tempts is that this woman could be called a true beauty, exceptionally enchanting. To possess her body... tsk tsk, would be absolutely wonderful."
The old demon drooled as he spoke.
His bald head, with a bright red parasite wriggling gleefully, disgusting viscous fluid dribbling from his mouth, turned his respectable area into a sticky mess.
With someone to play the straight man, Gao Buxi became even more passionate.
He too chuckled and continued:
"Daoist Deng speaks truly, Yuan Mingzhen, she is indeed a rare beauty in this world."
"If not so, how could she have caught my great-ancestor’s eye?"
"In the past, this woman held power in the Imperial City and obtained part of the legacy of the Zhu Dynasty, as well as the protection of the Xie Family and Guanyin Temple. Even my ancestor could not do anything to her."
"But a little while ago, the various warlords invaded the Imperial City, and this delightful phoenix fell into distress."
"My ancestor sent a secret missive; this woman, using the power of the Ancestor God Artifact ’Spring and Autumn Chariot,’ managed to escape and will reach the neighboring province, Qiantang, soon."
"All the groups of demons, major forces, and warlords want to snatch both the woman and her treasure." freewёbnoνel-com
"My ancestor also has this intention, thus he commands us descendants to recruit troops, waiting for the right moment to raise the army of the entire Tiannan province, make a move on Qiantang, and distract the other forces. Then, as Cavernous Mystery Cultivators acting as special forces armed with Exotic Treasures, we will take her by storm and present her to my ancestor, to secure a complete victory."
"With such merit, a Ten Thousand Marvels Venerable Position is readily at hand."
Having said that, Gao Buxi was very smug.
He explained in detail the plan of his great-ancestor, True Lord of a Hundred Demons Gao Yang; and indeed, as someone who has access to valuable resources, even Tao Qian had to admit that Gao Yang was likely to succeed.
The other Three Demons made the same assessment.
For a moment, all were tempted beyond measure.
Had it not been for the sliver of Mind that remained sane, they might all have already kowtowed in fealty.
Gao Buxi indeed stopped pressing; he just stared at the Four Demons, with a sly smile and said in a seemingly friendly manner:
"Daoist friends!"
"I have disclosed to you all the secrets of my Gao family; I hope to receive your responses by tonight."
"Take your time to consider it, enjoy a few more drinks."
"I am anxious to enter the bridal chamber, so I shall accompany you no longer."
With that, the beast did not wait for the four to respond, nor did he remove the Forbidden Array.
