Chapter 870: Taking Over the Immortal City, The Shock of the Major Forces!

Chiyue Immortal City.

The captives from Jiang State and Yue State, cultivators who saw themselves being rescued and released, were all surprised and bewildered, their expressions dazed.

What was going on?

Three days ago, True Monarch Purple Light chose to abandon the city and flee under the siege of the four Nascent Soul True Monarchs from Liang State, resulting in Chiyue Immortal City being captured by Liang State, and they became captives, prisoners.

How did Chiyue Immortal City fall back into Yue State’s hands in the blink of an eye?

This was too much of a joke, wasn’t it?

Walking out of the prisoner-of-war camp, they saw Lu Lingxiao, tall and imposing, wearing a dark gold brocade robe embroidered with dragon patterns.

“The Fourth-order Beast King from Beast God Mountain has been slain by my father, and True Monarch Youyue has also been suppressed by my father.”

Lu Lingxiao wore a gold-plated mask, his eyes sparkling, and said, “Now all of you will obey my commands and begin guarding the immortal city.”

Although he was in a weakened state, his voice was full of vigor.

“A Fourth-order Beast King was slain? True Monarch Youyue was suppressed?”

“The Great Dream City Lord?”

Although Lu Lingxiao was only in the early stage of Core Formation,

Having been on the Yue State front lines for so many years, the Core Formation Masters of Jiang State and Yue State still recognized him.

They knew that his father was the Lord of Great Dream Immortal City in Jiang State.

However, most people’s understanding of the Great Dream City Lord was similar to that of Saintess Youyue.

Although he possessed Nascent Soul level combat power, he was suspected to have a physical ailment, so he never left Great Dream Immortal City.

Now, Lu Lingxiao claimed that this Great Dream City Lord had slain a Fourth-order Beast King and suppressed Saintess Youyue?

This was too unbelievable!

“Is what little friend said true?”

“May I ask where your esteemed father is?”

Among these captured cultivators, there were not only several Core Formation cultivators but also Core Formation Grandmasters.

At this moment, they were naturally unwilling to listen to the commands of a junior like Lu Lingxiao.

They wanted to see the Great Dream City Lord and understand the situation.

Lu Changsheng dared to let his two weakened sons, both in the early stage of Core Formation, take over and control the immortal city, naturally with arrangements.

Only a clear, high-pitched cry tore through the sky.

The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, which was gnawing on the Fourth-order Beast King’s corpse, cried out to the sky, transformed into a youth of about eleven or twelve years old with a sharp face and sparkling golden pupils, and came to Lu Lingxiao’s side.

“Little Peng King!”

“Greetings, Little Peng King.”

Lu Lingxiao and Lu Qingxuan quickly bowed their hands in salute.

Although the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng was their father’s spirit beast, no matter what, it was still a Fourth-order transformed demon king.

Normally, they still had to treat the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng as an elder.

“Mm.”

The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng wore a profound gold armor embroidered with a heavenly peng battling a dragon, his eyebrows were like knife blades, adorned with golden demon patterns, very sharp, and he had no good feelings towards Lu Lingxiao.

The reason was simple.

This kid in front of him also cultivated the “True Spirit Nine Transformations” using its essence blood.

So without sufficient benefits, his Little Peng King had no good face for these Lu family disciples.

“A Fourth-order transformed demon king!”

The rescued Core Formation cultivators saw the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng before them, felt the terrifying demonic power radiating from its young body, and their hearts trembled, quickly bowing their hands in greeting.

“Greetings, Peng King!”

“Greetings, Peng King!”

Although the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng before them looked young.

Lu Lingxiao and Lu Qingxuan called him Little Peng King.

But how could they dare to call him that?

“This King’s name is True Monarch Golden Peng!”

The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng said, believing that titles like Golden Peng and Little Peng King were limited to its master and the Lu family.

Others must respectfully address him as Golden-Winged Peng King or True Monarch Golden Peng.

Now that he was in this immortal city with his master, facing human cultivators, and having transformed into human form, he decided to use the name True Monarch Golden Peng.

“We pay our respects to True Monarch Golden Peng!”

“We pay our respects to True Monarch Golden Peng!”

Upon hearing this, these cultivators quickly bowed respectfully again.

However, they were thinking about the origin of this True Monarch Golden Peng.

The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng’s face was cold, and he nodded slightly, observing the cultivators before him, wanting to see who was not respectful enough, so as to make an example of them.

Seeing that these people were all trembling, he said, “You will obey the commands of these two. If you dare to disobey, don’t blame this King for being ruthless!”

As he spoke, a sharp, aggressive killing intent and demonic energy permeated, pressing down on these people.

“Please rest assured, True Monarch Golden Peng!”

These Core Formation cultivators all looked terrified and quickly said respectfully.

Not to mention that they were still severely injured at the moment.

Even if they were at their peak state, they wouldn’t dare to be presumptuous in front of a Fourth-order transformed demon king like the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.

Lu Lingxiao and Lu Qingxuan didn’t say much.

They led them and the surrendered demonic cultivators to the treasure vault to retrieve their magic treasures.

And confiscated the magical artifacts and storage bags of the Liang State demonic cultivators in the city.

With True Monarch Golden Peng, a Fourth-order transformed demon king, overseeing the process, it went very smoothly.

During this time, these cultivators from Jiang State and Yue State also learned what had happened in Chiyue Immortal City earlier.

A Fourth-order puppet!

A Fourth-order transformed demon king!

The Great Dream City Lord killed a Fourth-order Beast King with one sword strike and captured True Monarch Youyue alive!

They looked at the tall puppet standing above the immortal city, gleaming with a cold metallic luster, and their hearts trembled.

They never expected that the Great Dream City Lord, rumored to have a physical ailment, was the Yangming Master who became famous in the Vast Sand Illusory Realm battle!

Not only did he break through to Nascent Soul, but his spirit beast also broke through to the Fourth order, and he possessed a Fourth-order puppet!

However, what shocked them the most was killing a Fourth-order Beast King with one sword strike and capturing True Monarch Youyue alive!

Thirty years ago, when the Vast Sand Illusory Realm opened, Yangming Master was still a Core Formation cultivator.

How could he have grown to this extent in just thirty years? It was simply unbelievable!

These doubts were destined to remain unanswered, and they didn’t dare to ask too many questions.

They just obediently followed the commands of Lu Lingxiao and Lu Qingxuan, taking back control of the Chiyue Immortal City’s grand formation from Liang State.

Meanwhile, at a certain stronghold in Liang State.

“What?! Chiyue Immortal City has fallen! Youyue was captured?”

Although Chiyue Immortal City was breached by Lu Changsheng, no one escaped from the immortal city.

However, when the Fourth-order Beast King was instantly killed and Saintess Youyue was suppressed, some warning and distress signals were still sent out.

This news reached the Supreme Elder of Beast God Mountain, “True Monarch Nine Spirits,” immediately.

True Monarch Nine Spirits was very surprised by this news.

His first reaction was to doubt the accuracy of the news.

After all, he had just received a message from Saintess Youyue not long ago.

Stating that True Monarch Yangming had arrived at Chiyue Immortal City.

How long had it been, and Chiyue Immortal City had fallen?

Moreover, Saintess Youyue was captured.

This was completely illogical.

But as the Supreme Elder of Beast God Mountain, a Nascent Soul cultivator who had seen many illogical and unreasonable things, True Monarch Nine Spirits immediately realized that this news was very likely true.

“Yellow Springs, Silkworm, hurry back, do not go to Chiyue Immortal City!”

True Monarch Nine Spirits made a decisive decision, forced out a drop of essence blood, performed a secret technique, activated an emergency communication jade slip, and called back the Flood Dragon Holy Son and True Monarch Silkworm who were heading to Chiyue Immortal City.

Earlier, he had received a message from Saintess Youyue, informing him that True Monarch Yangming was coming, so he notified the two to abandon True Monarch Purple Light and go to support Chiyue Immortal City first.

If the news he received was true, and Chiyue Immortal City fell in a short time, and Saintess Youyue was captured, it meant that True Monarch Yangming’s strength was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

It was very likely that he possessed the combat power of the mid-stage Nascent Soul!

True Monarch Silkworm and True Monarch Yellow Springs rushing over would not only be useless but also potentially face life-threatening danger.

“Who exactly is this True Monarch Yangming?”

True Monarch Nine Spirits’ eyes were like bells, and his body was tall and burly, like a male lion.

He had always attached great importance to True Monarch Yangming.

Just like in the battle in the Vast Sand Illusory Realm, many people focused on True Monarch Azure Phoenix, believing that Yangming Master was able to defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator entirely by relying on secret techniques, treasures, and True Monarch Azure Phoenix.

However, through the matter of the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master and the account of True Monarch Silkworm, the person involved, he knew that Yangming Master was not simple.

It was very likely that he was a top-tier Nascent Soul cultivator who had reincarnated and re-cultivated.

And Moluo also offered a conjecture that this person might be a top-tier prodigy from the Central Domain Xuanmen, coming here for experience.

“Report this matter to the Superior!”

True Monarch Nine Spirits was very cautious.

He didn’t go directly to meet with the Flood Dragon Holy Son and True Monarch Silkworm, but informed Moluo of this matter.

After all, this True Monarch Yangming was able to break through Chiyue Immortal City and capture Saintess Youyue alive in a short time, his strength was astonishing, and even if he went, he would not be a match.

Moreover, if the news reached True Monarch Hunyuan and True Monarch Absolute Sword, and they rushed to support and surround them, there could be danger.

At this moment.

True Monarch Silkworm and the Flood Dragon Holy Son, who were rushing to support Chiyue Immortal City, received the emergency message from True Monarch Nine Spirits.

Upon seeing this message, the Flood Dragon Holy Son’s expression changed drastically, realizing that Saintess Youyue might be in danger.

After all, not long ago, the Supreme Elder had informed them that True Monarch Yangming was heading to Chiyue Immortal City.

And told them to hurry there to support.

Now the Supreme Elder had sent an emergency message again, telling them to turn back and not go to Chiyue Immortal City.

The Flood Dragon Holy Son immediately activated an emergency communication talisman between himself and Saintess Youyue, waiting anxiously for her response.

However, one breath, two breaths, three breaths…

Seeing that Saintess Youyue was slow to respond, the Flood Dragon Holy Son’s chiseled face became increasingly grim.

Then he looked in the direction of Chiyue Immortal City and sped away.

“Yellow Springs, where are you going? The Supreme Elder ordered us to hurry back!”

True Monarch Silkworm saw this and immediately shouted loudly.

“Youyue is very likely in danger, I’m going to save her!”

The Flood Dragon Holy Son’s magic power surged throughout his body, stirring up a layer of turbid Yellow Springs waves, and he said without looking back, his voice carrying a hint of mad killing intent.

“???”

True Monarch Silkworm knew that the Flood Dragon Holy Son was very fond of Saintess Youyue.

But he didn’t expect that the latter would disregard even the Supreme Elder’s command for Saintess Youyue.

“Yellow Springs, the Supreme Elder sent a message telling us to go back, and Chiyue Immortal City is very likely in danger now. If you rush there, you might encounter danger and ambushes!”

True Monarch Silkworm also realized that Chiyue Immortal City was very likely facing danger.

However, as soon as these words were spoken, the Flood Dragon Holy Son became even more anxious, worried that his goddess, his future wife, would be in danger.

“Yellow Springs!”

True Monarch Silkworm saw the Flood Dragon Holy Son like this and didn’t know what to do.

If it were any other time, he would choose to go with the Flood Dragon Holy Son to check, at least they could watch out for each other.

But thinking of True Monarch Yangming in Chiyue Immortal City, he really didn’t dare to go.

After all, when the other party was in the Core Formation stage, he could already contend and clash with him.

Now that he had broken through to Nascent Soul, how could he still be an opponent?

But facing the Flood Dragon Holy Son, he couldn’t just ignore him.

If something happened to the other party, it would be difficult for him to face True Monarch Nine Spirits.

True Monarch Silkworm quickly performed a secret technique and sent a message to True Monarch Nine Spirits, telling him about the Flood Dragon Holy Son.

True Monarch Nine Spirits’ expression froze when he received the message from True Monarch Silkworm.

He secretly thought how he had forgotten about this.

“Silkworm, you and Fenmo try your best to stop Yellow Springs, I will come immediately!”

True Monarch Nine Spirits said decisively.

Knowing that sending a message to the Flood Dragon Holy Son now would be useless, he had to stabilize the situation.

Although based on the situation analysis, that True Monarch Yangming’s strength was very astonishing.

But no matter what, it was impossible for him to resolve three Nascent Soul cultivators in such a short time, right?

As long as he rushed there immediately, he could resolve the danger.

“Damn it!”

But thinking that the Flood Dragon Holy Son was disobeying orders in such an emergency, True Monarch Nine Spirits still felt a surge of anger in his heart.

He punched out fiercely, causing a large mountain in the distance to collapse and shatter.

The cultivators at this stronghold looked surprised, not knowing what had happened or who had angered their Supreme Elder.

“Golden Qilin!”

A token appeared in True Monarch Nine Spirits’ hand, and he summoned his spirit beast, the [Golden Qilin Lion King], and then rushed to Chiyue Immortal City.

True Monarch Purple Light saw the Flood Dragon Holy Son, True Monarch Silkworm, and True Monarch Fenmo abandon their pursuit of him, his face pale, panting, and his magic power chaotic as he fled back to his Purple Light Sect.

Earlier in Chiyue Immortal City, fully operating the grand formation had consumed a lot of his energy.

And the Flood Dragon Holy Son’s strength had far exceeded his expectations, so he was very embarrassed facing the three of them.

Fortunately, both the Flood Dragon Holy Son and True Monarch Fenmo had only recently broken through to Nascent Soul, and True Monarch Silkworm’s Dharma body had been destroyed by Yangming Master years ago, his strength greatly diminished, delaying him for many years, and his combat power was average.

So he was not seriously injured, just greatly depleted of vitality.

“They abandoned their pursuit of me, are they going to support somewhere else?”

True Monarch Purple Light immediately communicated with True Monarch Hunyuan, telling him about Chiyue Immortal City and his own situation.

Although True Monarch Hunyuan was angry that True Monarch Purple Light had abandoned Chiyue Immortal City and fled,

But the two were both Nascent Soul cultivators and allies, so he didn’t blame him too much.

He just told him to heal as soon as possible and come to support, waiting for True Monarch Xuanjian and the Great Dream City Lord to arrive to discuss the situation.

However, not long after True Monarch Purple Light and True Monarch Hunyuan communicated, the Core Formation cultivators from Jiang State and Yue State in Chiyue Immortal City retrieved their storage bags and immediately activated their emergency communication talismans, sending out the situation in Chiyue Immortal City.

“???”

True Monarch Purple Light and True Monarch Hunyuan were both surprised when they received the news from Chiyue Immortal City.

What the hell?

The Great Dream City Lord alone breached Chiyue Immortal City.

And killed the Fourth-order Beast King of Beast God Mountain and captured True Monarch Youyue of Beast God Mountain.

Based on their previous communication, True Monarch Xuanjian and this Great Dream City Lord were supposed to take some time to arrive, weren’t they?

How could they have arrived so quickly and resolved Chiyue Immortal City?

Both of them found it hard to believe and further verified the information.

After a long while, seeing that the news was likely true, True Monarch Hunyuan was very happy.

He believed that with the Great Dream City Lord and True Monarch Xuanjian, this war could be stabilized.

As for the Great Dream City Lord being Yangming Master, he didn’t pay too much attention.

After all, with the other party’s strength, even if he had great opportunities and great secrets, it was not something he could covet.

It was better to seize this opportunity and build a good relationship.

True Monarch Purple Light, however, had a grim expression.

He felt that he, who had abandoned the city and fled, was like a clown in front of this Great Dream City Lord.

This escape not only handed over military achievements but also highlighted the other party’s strength.

The strategic resources of Chiyue Immortal City and the enemy captives would also all fall into the other party’s hands.

“Damn it, this person could arrive so quickly, why didn’t he inform me in advance!”

True Monarch Purple Light’s face was gloomy and cold, suspecting that the other party had done this deliberately.

He wanted him to abandon the city and flee, attracting the other party’s Nascent Soul combat power, thereby capturing Chiyue Immortal City and seizing the fruits of military achievements!

But thinking of the strength of this Great Dream City Lord mentioned in the news, he could only swallow this anger for the time being.

Chiyue Immortal City, Prisoner-of-War Camp.

Lu Changsheng was unaware of the impact his actions were having on Liang State and Yue State, and was currently using the Goddess Cauldron to interfere with and influence Saintess Youyue’s thoughts and consciousness.

Previously, he had tried to get information about Beast God Mountain and the demonic path’s superior from Saintess Youyue through the “Six Desires Heart Demon Technique.”

But his “Six Desires Heart Demon Technique” could at most influence Saintess Youyue, and he couldn’t obtain useful information from her.

As for other interrogation methods, Saintess Youyue was very tough.

Knowing that begging for mercy was useless, she directly used a secret technique to seal her six senses and five perceptions, waiting for her Supreme Elder to come and rescue her.

So Lu Changsheng had no other way but to use the Goddess Cauldron to interfere with and influence Saintess Youyue’s emotions, thoughts, and consciousness.

However, the Goddess Cauldron was only a mid-grade spirit treasure.

It was not something that could interfere with and influence the emotions, thoughts, and consciousness of a Nascent Soul cultivator like Saintess Youyue in a short time.

It would take at least several years of refining.

“If the Soul Devouring Beast were here, it would be great.”

Lu Changsheng thought of the Soul Devouring Beast he had left in Jin State.

Besides being able to transform into a punishment beast and counter various demons, the Soul Devouring Beast could also judge the sins of others.

Through punishment divine abilities, it could inflict double torment on the physical body and soul of demonic cultivators for interrogation.

And it could suppress the soul and contractual restrictions on the other party, obtaining certain secrets.

“It seems that I won’t be able to obtain useful information from this woman in a short time.”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

Immediately, he lightly patted his spirit beast pouch, and a small yin-yang ball suddenly flew out, spinning around, releasing Saintess Youyue’s Dharma body.
