Chapter 878: Subdue Fenmo, all the Yuanying are shocked (two in one)

Chapter 873: Subduing Fenmo, Major Nascent Souls Shocked (Two-in-One, Supplement)

“The cooperation between Liang Kingdom and Yuan Kingdom might be related to the Emissary, but I am not entirely clear on the specifics.”

“The reason I was able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage was thanks to the secret technique and the blood of myriad spirits bestowed by the Emissary.”

“True Monarch Yellow Springs and Holy Maiden Youyue’s breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage is highly likely related to this Emissary.”

True Monarch Fenmo was very clear about the situation in Liang Kingdom, subsequent strategic layouts, and so on.

However, his understanding of the secrets of Beast God Mountain, True Monarch Nine Spirits, and the situation of the Demonic Dao Emissary was limited.

“As for the Emissary’s purpose, I am not clear.”

“If it is related to the Seven Sects of the Demonic Dao, this Emissary most likely comes from the Blood Sea Sect.”

To survive, True Monarch Fenmo chose to violate his contract oath, revealing the situation regarding the Demonic Dao Emissary and his own conjectures.

His weakened Nascent Soul spirit body, under the backlash of the contract, flickered and almost collapsed and dissipated.

“True Monarch, I have told you everything I know. I beg you to spare my life.”

True Monarch Fenmo continued to beg for mercy, looking utterly miserable, like a candle flickering in the wind, devoid of the dignity and prestige of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

One could only say that in the face of death, a Nascent Soul True Monarch was also the same as many mortals and low-level cultivators.

“Don’t worry, since this True Monarch has promised to spare your life, I will not go back on my word.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the fading spirit body of True Monarch Fenmo before him and said calmly, deciding to spare his life.

On the one hand, he was currently outnumbered and needed some usable subordinates.

Not to mention the distant future, once the war in Liang Kingdom ended and the spoils of victory were divided, he would have no one at his disposal.

If he subdued True Monarch Fenmo, he could not only use him to handle matters in Liang Kingdom but also legitimately take over the assets of the Asura Sect.

On the other hand, the True Monarch Fenmo before him was weak enough!

He had originally relied on a secret technique to break through by overdrawing his life potential, making him a bottom-tier Nascent Soul cultivator.

Now, he was severely injured by himself, his Dharma body shattered.

His Nascent Soul spirit body was further refined by the Golden-Winged Heavenly Roc, and the contract oath backlash had weakened his Nascent Soul spirit body to the extreme.

Even if he recovered, he would still be a waste among wastes, a half-step Nascent Soul.

He was confident that he could completely control and enslave such a waste Nascent Soul through restrictive means.

There was no need to worry about the other party breaking free and rebelling, unlike with Old Ancestor Zhenhai.

Furthermore, True Monarch Fenmo had just violated his contract oath and revealed information about the Demonic Dao Emissary, offending the Demonic Dao of Liang Kingdom. It would be difficult for him to return to the Asura Sect, so he could only rely on himself.

“Thank you, True Monarch! Thank you, True Monarch!”

True Monarch Fenmo quickly bowed in thanks, but his heart was filled with bitterness, feeling the great ups and downs of life.

First, he relied on the tribulations of war to obtain a Nascent Soul opportunity, successfully breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage and enjoying limitless glory.

But within a few years, his Nascent Soul was half-crippled, and he could only fawn and grovel before others, clinging to survival.

However, thinking that the Yangming True Monarch before him was a mighty figure who had seized a body and reincarnated, his submission to him was not too shameful.

Moreover, as long as he kept his life, there was a future.

Lu Changsheng placed several temporary restrictions on True Monarch Fenmo’s Nascent Soul spirit body and Dharma body, allowing his Nascent Soul spirit body to return to his Dharma body to recuperate.

True Monarch Fenmo looked at his shattered Dharma body, his heart practically bleeding.

This Dharma body was severely damaged by the Golden-Winged Heavenly Roc’s attacks and True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm’s self-detonation.

Even if it was healed and recovered, it would affect his foundational state and even reduce his lifespan potential.

But in his current Nascent Soul spirit body state, if he wanted to seize a body and cultivate anew, he could only find Foundation Establishment cultivators or even Core Formation cultivators with ordinary cultivation.

Otherwise, he might fail the body seizure and damage his Nascent Soul origin.

Furthermore, the compatibility of the seized body might not even be as good as his current damaged body.

“Alas.” True Monarch Fenmo sighed inwardly, his Nascent Soul spirit body returning to his damaged Dharma body and reactivating it.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, took out pills and high-grade spirit herbs from his storage ring, and stopped the bleeding and healed his injuries.

However, he had only broken through to the Nascent Soul stage a few years ago and did not have many Nascent Soul level pills, which made Lu Changsheng furrow his brow.

He thought to himself, how are these Nascent Soul True Monarchs all so poor?

“These two bottles of pills are for you.”

Lu Changsheng did not want True Monarch Fenmo to take decades to barely recover, so he threw two bottles of pills from his storage ring to him.

He hoped that the resources and wealth of the Asura Sect would not disappoint him.

“Thank you for the True Monarch’s gift.”

True Monarch Fenmo quickly accepted the pills and bowed in thanks.

After resolving the situation with True Monarch Fenmo, Lu Changsheng began to examine the storage rings of True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm and Holy Son Jiaolong.

Similar to Holy Maiden Youyue, neither of them had much wealth.

Far less than True Monarch Pinghai, True Monarch Fuhai, and others.

The only gain might be their spirit treasures.

“The material of this Heavenly Silkworm Robe is quite good.”

Lu Changsheng examined True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm’s somewhat damaged life-bound spirit treasure, the [Heavenly Silkworm Robe].

He believed that the material of this spirit treasure was decent and could be melted down as base material to refine a fourth-tier Dharma robe for himself.

This way, his defense and survivability could be further improved.

As for Holy Son Jiaolong’s life-bound spirit treasure, it was quite ordinary.

However, seeing that this jade seal possessed the origin of a remnant Yellow Springs Flood Dragon soul and had a flood dragon soul refined into it, Lu Changsheng thought of a damaged mid-grade spirit treasure, the [Yellow Springs Diagram], that he and Ayuduo had obtained in the Myriad Devil Abyss.

He believed that this Yellow Springs Flood Dragon Seal could be melted into the [Yellow Springs Diagram] for reforging and repair.

Although it was a bit wasteful.

But life-bound spirit treasures were inherently difficult for others to activate and exert their full power, so they could only be melted down and reforged.

After clearing the spoils of war and putting them into his storage ring, Lu Changsheng lightly patted the Goddess Furnace, and True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm’s Nascent Soul spirit body appeared.

“Yangming True Monarch, as long as you are willing to be magnanimous and spare my life, I am willing to submit and be at your disposal!”

True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm’s Nascent Soul spirit body was tightly bound as if tied up like a zongzi.

Seeing Lu Changsheng release him, he immediately begged for mercy.

In the past, when Lu Changsheng was only in the Core Formation stage, he still harbored thoughts of revenge.

Now, with Lu Changsheng displaying the overwhelming strength of a mid-stage Nascent Soul giant, his heart was filled only with fear, without the slightest thought of resistance.

After all, in just a few decades, how could he resist someone who had gone from a Core Formation cultivator capable of resisting a Nascent Soul to a mid-stage Nascent Soul giant?

He was now filled only with regret, immense regret.

Regretting that he had known Yangming True Monarch was here, yet still came with Holy Son Jiaolong.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but curse Holy Son Jiaolong, that fool, in his heart.

“Heavenly Silkworm, do you think this True Monarch will let you go?”

Lu Changsheng was willing to spare True Monarch Fenmo’s life partly because the other party was weak and there was no enmity between them, and partly to control the Asura Sect through him.

The True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm before him did not have this kind of value.

Not only was there enmity between them, but in terms of control and enslavement, he was not as useful as Holy Maiden Youyue in the Goddess Furnace.

After all, completely enslaving and controlling a Nascent Soul True Monarch was simply too difficult.

Currently, his restrictive means were far inferior to the Goddess Furnace, a spirit treasure that could interfere with and influence others’ thoughts.

As long as Holy Maiden Youyue was refined in the Goddess Furnace for a few years, he would then be able to control her and take over the assets of Beast God Mountain through her.

Although he planned to exchange Liang Kingdom with the Heavenly Sword Sect for Jiang Kingdom.

But if the Heavenly Sword Sect were to relocate along with the Spirit Taming Sect and the Sunset Cloud Sect, he could also have Holy Maiden Youyue lead Beast God Mountain to take over the Spirit Taming Sect’s territory.

Helping to guard the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range to prevent beast tide unrest and invasion of Jiang Kingdom.

“Yangming! This True Monarch has unfortunately fallen into your hands, but you absolutely must not think of getting any information from my mouth!”

Seeing this, True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm knew that the Yangming True Monarch before him would not let him go. He immediately said through gritted teeth, no longer making pointless struggles. Like Holy Maiden Youyue, he sealed his five senses and six consciousnesses, waiting for rescue from True Monarch Nine Spirits and Moluo.

As long as the war situation turned around, Beast God Mountain might redeem him.

Furthermore, since the other party had not killed him, it was likely that they were using him as a bargaining chip.

In such a situation, he must absolutely not do anything that would harm his own interests, lest he be abandoned by True Monarch Nine Spirits!

“Heh heh.”

Seeing True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm’s drastic change in attitude, Lu Changsheng couldn’t be bothered with further talk. He struck several restrictions onto the Nascent Soul spirit body before him, sealing it, and then imprisoned it in the Goddess Furnace.

Although the Goddess Furnace’s Human Desire laws primarily affected female cultivators.

However, besides the Goddess Furnace, he currently had no other spirit treasure that could securely imprison a Nascent Soul spirit body.

So he could only temporarily use the Goddess Furnace.

He planned to use True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm’s Nascent Soul spirit body to cultivate the True Saint Brahma Devil Art or feed it to the Ghost Prison Demonic Flower after returning.

The Ghost Prison Demonic Flower had a cage in its belly, capable of imprisoning living beings and refining them.

Once it refined a living being’s soul, it could obtain fragments of the other party’s memory.

At that time, Lu Changsheng could use the Ghost Prison Demonic Flower to learn more about Beast God Mountain and the Demonic Dao Emissary from True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm’s memory fragments.

Even the inherited secret techniques of Beast God Mountain.

After finishing, Lu Changsheng and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Roc quietly adjusted their breathing here, waiting for True Monarch Xuanyuan to arrive and for Liang Kingdom’s subsequent reaction.

Just as True Monarch Fenmo violated his contract oath and revealed war secrets and information about the Demonic Dao Emissary to Lu Changsheng, Moluo, far away in Beast God Mountain, sensed it immediately.

“What is going on? Fenmo has defected?”

Moluo frowned, realizing that True Monarch Fenmo had likely encountered danger and chosen to defect.

Otherwise, True Monarch Fenmo would never have chosen to endure the contract backlash and reveal the relevant information.

“Could it be Yangming True Monarch?”

Moluo had previously received a message from True Monarch Nine Spirits.

Knowing that Chiyue Immortal City had been breached and Holy Maiden Youyue had been captured by Yangming True Monarch.

He guessed that True Monarch Fenmo and the others had likely encountered Yangming True Monarch and fallen into his hands, thus choosing to defect.

After all, he was very clear about True Monarch Fenmo’s strength.

He was a mere straw bag Nascent Soul.

A Nascent Soul who had only barely broken through by stimulating his life potential.

Even Holy Maiden Youyue had fallen into Yangming True Monarch’s hands, so the other party was definitely no match for the latter.

Just,

Holy Maiden Youyue had just encountered danger, so how did True Monarch Fenmo also encounter danger and defect?

Moluo immediately sent a message to True Monarch Nine Spirits, asking about the situation and why True Monarch Fenmo had defected.

At this moment, True Monarch Nine Spirits was rushing towards Chiyue Immortal City.

Since Chiyue Immortal City was already under Lu Changsheng’s control, the news of Holy Son Jiaolong, True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm, and True Monarch Fenmo being dealt with did not reach him immediately.

But he had always maintained contact with True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm.

Seeing that his Beast God Token connected to True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm had been disconnected, he realized that the other party had likely encountered danger.

He immediately used a secret technique to sense the location of the Beast God Token in True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm’s hand.

Chiyue Immortal City!

He vaguely sensed that True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm’s Beast God Token was located in Chiyue Immortal City and was completely still.

After observing for a moment, True Monarch Nine Spirits’ heart grew heavy, realizing that True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm’s situation was not good.

It was not just a simple matter of encountering danger.

He continued to use the secret technique to sense the Beast God Token on Holy Son Jiaolong.

It was the same as with True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm.

“Could it be…”

A strong ominous premonition surged in True Monarch Nine Spirits’ heart, and he dared not believe his conjecture.

After all, Holy Son Jiaolong, True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm, and True Monarch Fenmo were acting together; how could they encounter danger so quickly?

He gritted his teeth and continued to rush towards Chiyue Immortal City, wanting to know the situation.

However, he instinctively further concealed his figure and magical power, lest he be discovered by that Yangming True Monarch.

Just then, Moluo’s message arrived.

Telling him that True Monarch Fenmo had likely defected.

Asking about the situation of True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm and Holy Son Jiaolong. What were they doing?

“What!?”

True Monarch Nine Spirits looked at the incoming message, his bell-like eyes seemingly burning with a layer of golden flames, his hair dancing wildly, and his Nascent Soul magical power surging throughout his body, pressing down so hard that the void around him slightly twisted and collapsed.

Earlier, he had already realized that True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm and Holy Son Jiaolong were in danger.

But he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Wanting to go and investigate the truth.

Now, Moluo told him that Fenmo had already defected.

Indicating that all three had fallen into the hands of Yangming True Monarch, who had captured Chiyue Immortal City.

“How is this possible!”

True Monarch Nine Spirits was like a raging lion. His terrifying Nascent Soul aura not only shook the surrounding mountains, causing rocks to tumble down.

Even the clouds in the sky were scattered by his aura.

However, compared to anger, True Monarch Nine Spirits’ emotions were more of shock and unease.

He could barely understand Holy Maiden Youyue being captured.

After all, this Yangming True Monarch was extraordinary; he could contend with a Nascent Soul when he was only in the Core Formation stage.

Now, he even had the record of killing True Monarch Mingsha.

But to deal with True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm, Holy Son Jiaolong, and True Monarch Fenmo in such a short time, he found it truly difficult to imagine and accept.

Especially Nascent Soul cultivators, who could escape by their Nascent Soul leaving their body.

The three of them went together, and all were captured by this Yangming True Monarch. What kind of strength did this require?

Even if he himself broke through the bottleneck from early-stage to mid-stage Nascent Soul, True Monarch Nine Spirits was not confident he could do it.

“Could it be that True Monarch Xuanyuan has arrived? And is lurking in Chiyue Immortal City?”

True Monarch Nine Spirits immediately guessed in his heart.

He was unwilling to believe that Yangming True Monarch alone had dealt with the three True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm and the others in such a short time.

He believed that True Monarch Xuanyuan must be lurking in the shadows.

Only in this way could the three be quickly dealt with.

“Yangming True Monarch, True Monarch Xuanyuan…”

True Monarch Nine Spirits clenched his fists tightly, suppressing the anger in his heart, but also feeling deeply powerless and helpless.

In such a short time, their side had lost four Nascent Soul combatants. It was something no one could accept.

Especially when victory in this war was already within sight.

“Emissary…”

True Monarch Nine Spirits looked in the direction of Chiyue Immortal City and told Moluo about the situation of Holy Son Jiaolong, True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm, and the others.

Suspecting that the three had already encountered danger.

And based on his conjecture and judgment, both Yangming True Monarch and True Monarch Xuanyuan were currently in Chiyue Immortal City.

Only in this way could all three have encountered danger and failed to escape.

After sending the message, True Monarch Nine Spirits looked in the direction of Chiyue Immortal City, still feeling somewhat unwilling. He continued to approach, using a secret technique to sense the situation of the Beast God Tokens.

Seeing that the Beast God Tokens of True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm, Holy Son Jiaolong, and Holy Maiden Youyue were all located in Chiyue Immortal City, he felt utterly powerless and punched a distant mountain peak.

He then rushed back towards Beast God Mountain, preparing to use the three individuals’ life-bound soul lamps and ask a diviner to calculate the situation.

He still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Hoping that the Nascent Soul spirit bodies of True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm and Holy Son Jiaolong had successfully escaped.

Only their Dharma bodies, storage rings, life-bound spirit treasures, and so on were not taken with them in time.

“What!? Holy Son Jiaolong, True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm, True Monarch Fenmo, three great Nascent Soul cultivators, all killed by the Great Dream City Lord?”

At the same time, True Monarch Hunyuan, True Monarch Ziguang, and True Monarch Juejian all received messages from Chiyue Immortal City, and they were all astonished, horrified, and disbelieving.

After all, just the day before, they had received news that the Great Dream City Lord had breached Chiyue Immortal City and captured Holy Maiden Youyue.

In just one day, the Great Dream City Lord had killed three more Nascent Soul cultivators?

This news was simply like a fantasy, shocking the world.

Although this was a victory report, good news.

But the three of them were not that surprised.

There was even an inexplicable fear and unease.

If this news was true, the strength of this Great Dream City Lord, Yangming True Monarch, was simply terrifying, horrifying to this extent!

Invited by True Monarch Profound Sword, what was the other party’s purpose in coming to assist?

True Monarch Chaotic Yuan and the other two had to ponder this question.

After all, at the Nascent Soul level, there are only a few things to strive for, primarily further advancement.

The strength displayed by this Lord of Great Dream City, True Monarch Yang Ming, already far surpassed theirs, estimated to be that of a mid-stage Nascent Soul giant.

Such strength has reached the upper limit in the Northern Territory of the Southern Wilderness.

“This True Monarch Yang Ming grew from a Core Formation cultivator to this level in just a few decades. He must be the reincarnation or possession of a mighty figure, but what is he plotting by settling in Great Dream Immortal City?”

True Monarch Chaotic Yuan continuously pondered, feeling immense apprehension towards Lu Changsheng.

After all, any top power would be restless upon hearing that such a top Nascent Soul cultivator of unknown origin had appeared in their territory.

Although Great Dream Immortal City is not in their Yue State.

Jiang State and Yue State are allies.

Now this Lord of Great Dream City, True Monarch Yang Ming, has been invited to Yue State to assist in the war, how could they not be wary?

He immediately sent a message to True Monarch Peerless Sword, wanting to inquire about the detailed situation of this Lord of Great Dream City.

Why was the other party willing to come and assist in the war?

“The Lord of Great Dream City, True Monarch Yang Ming”

In True Monarch Violetlight’s heart, besides shock, there was a wave of shame and humiliation.

He had been besieged by four Nascent Soul cultivators and had to abandon the city and flee.

Then he was chased and injured miserably by True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm, Saint Son Flood Dragon, and the other two.

But now, this Lord of Great Dream City not only easily recaptured Scarlet Peak Immortal City but also killed True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm, Saint Son Flood Dragon, and the other two.

This was simply nailing himself to the pillar of shame.

If others were to belittle or deny the battle achievements of this Lord of Great Dream City.

Claiming that True Monarch Nether Moon, True Monarch Yellow Springs, and True Monarch Burning Death were all newly advanced Nascent Soul cultivators, and True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm’s physical body was also destroyed, belonging to a ‘waste’ Nascent Soul whose strength was not to be feared.

Someone could cite the example of True Monarch Violetlight, an old-guard Nascent Soul cultivator, who once faced the four, abandoned the city and fled, and was even chased by the three to the point of almost losing his life.

Although he felt stifled and humiliated, True Monarch Violetlight did not dare to harbor any ill will.

If the news was true, he was completely no match for this Lord of Great Dream City.

“Does this person intend to unify Jiang, Yue, and Liang States…?”

True Monarch Violetlight pondered, suspecting that Lu Changsheng only made his move now, waiting for the war to reach a fever pitch before harvesting the benefits, thereby unifying Jiang, Yue, and Liang States.

After all, the Liang-Yue war had reached this point, and both Liang State and Yue State, as well as Jiang State, were exhausted and severely weakened, in need of recuperation.

And the other party could completely use this opportunity to display absolute strength, thereby intimidating and subduing their various factions.

“Damn it.”

True Monarch Violetlight’s expression flickered between light and dark, looking very unpleasant.

As Nascent Soul True Monarchs, how many would be willing to submit and become subordinates to others?

If they were willing to be subordinate to other powers, their Violetlight Sect could have long surrendered to Beast God Mountain, or even certain top Nascent Soul powers.

After all, in the Southern Wilderness, no power would be willing to refuse a Nascent Soul subordinate.

But being subordinate to others, how could it compare to the freedom and comfort of ruling over one’s own territory?

After pondering for a long time, True Monarch Violetlight sent a message to True Monarch Chaotic Yuan, asking for his opinion.

“The strength of this Lord of Great Dream City is truly terrifying.”

True Monarch Peerless Sword had previously interacted with Lu Changsheng.

He knew that the other party had already killed multiple Nascent Soul cultivators and settled in Great Dream Immortal City, sensing a great opportunity and preparing for the impending catastrophe.

However, upon receiving this news and hearing that Lu Changsheng had killed three great Nascent Soul True Monarchs, his heart was still greatly shaken.

But besides shock, what he felt more was lingering fear.

Previously, his Heavenly Sword Sect had pressured Great Dream Immortal City for breaking its word and being unwilling to assist in the Liang-Yue war.

When he went to negotiate, he even adopted a somewhat aggressive and forceful attitude.

Recalling it now, True Monarch Peerless Sword only felt palpitations and lingering fear.

If this Lord of Great Dream City, True Monarch Yang Ming, held any dissatisfaction towards him or his Heavenly Sword Sect, he feared both he and the Heavenly Sword Sect would be in danger.

True Monarch Peerless Sword immediately sent someone to verify the news, understand the specific situation of Scarlet Peak Immortal City, and the battle process.

And he sent this news via message to his senior brother, True Monarch Profound Sword, thinking that perhaps he should go offer an apology when he saw Lu Changsheng again.

True Monarch Profound Sword was still rushing towards Scarlet Peak Immortal City.

Although he possessed a遁形 spirit treasure and遁形 divine abilities, in order to maintain his condition and be able to fight immediately upon reaching the front line, he did not dare to consume too much magic power and physical strength.

When he received the message from his junior brother, True Monarch Peerless Sword, he was completely stunned.

Captured Saintess Nether Moon?

Killed three great Nascent Soul cultivators?

Although he had sparred with Lu Changsheng and experienced the other party’s strength.

And through the fluctuations from the Overturning Sea Sect, he knew the other party possessed the strength of a Nascent Soul giant.

He was still surprised and moved by such battle achievements.

Considering that the front-line situation was stable, True Monarch Profound Sword immediately chose to consume some magic power and rush to Scarlet Peak Immortal City as quickly as possible.

After more than half a day, True Monarch Profound Sword arrived outside Scarlet Peak Immortal City.

“Greetings, True Monarch Profound Sword!”

Now the Immortal City had been taken over by cultivators from Jiang State and Yue State, so the high-level cultivators all recognized True Monarch Profound Sword and bowed in greeting.

However, they did not immediately open the great formation, but waited for the latter to show proof of identity before going to report to Lu Changsheng.

“Fellow Daoist Profound Sword.”

Upon hearing that True Monarch Profound Sword had arrived, Lu Changsheng immediately went to meet him, cupping his hands and smiling.

“City Lord Wang.” True Monarch Profound Sword looked at the Immortal City before him, which bore signs of damage and traces of Nascent Soul battles, cupped his hands in a salute, and sought confirmation from Lu Changsheng regarding the information.

“That is correct. Saintess Nether Moon of Beast God Mountain has been captured by me. As for True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm, True Monarch Burning Death, and Saint Son Flood Dragon, they have all been dealt with.”

Lu Changsheng said with a faint smile, not feeling that this matter was particularly praiseworthy.

“Hiss…”

Even though True Monarch Profound Sword had already received the news, hearing Lu Changsheng admit it still caused him to involuntarily gasp.

He took a deep breath and asked Lu Changsheng about the specific battle situation, such as whether the Nascent Soul physical bodies of True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm, True Monarch Burning Death, True Monarch Yellow Springs, and others had escaped?

Although the cultivators in Scarlet Peak Immortal City had sent messages to True Monarch Peerless Sword and others.

However, such messages had limitations and could not transmit too much information.

Moreover, True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm self-detonated his physical body, making it difficult for them to see clearly, and they were unsure about the state of True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm and True Monarch Burning Death’s Nascent Soul spirits, whether they had been annihilated.

“None of them escaped. True Monarch Burning Death was willing to surrender, so I chose to spare his life.”

Lu Changsheng said calmly.

True Monarch Profound Sword was inwardly shaken, truly at a loss for words.

After all, killing three Nascent Soul cultivators and capturing three Nascent Soul cultivators were completely different concepts.

Once a Nascent Soul cultivator’s Nascent Soul leaves the body, their escape speed is astonishing, ignoring all sorts of spell restrictions. Only with a few secret treasures can one interfere with them.

With three Nascent Soul cultivators fleeing simultaneously, even a mid-stage Nascent Soul giant would find it difficult to capture them all, right?

True Monarch Profound Sword truly could not imagine how Lu Changsheng accomplished it.

Furthermore, he couldn’t quite figure something out.

The news that Scarlet Peak Immortal City had been breached and Saintess Nether Moon captured would likely be sent to Beast God Mountain and True Monarch Nine Spirits immediately.

Why would True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm, True Monarch Yellow Springs, and True Monarch Burning Death still rush to Scarlet Peak Immortal City immediately?

This was very illogical?

True Monarch Profound Sword frowned tightly and voiced the doubts in his heart.

“Heh heh, this matter is somewhat farcical, to be honest.”

Lu Changsheng had also been puzzled earlier as to why True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm and the other two dared to come and find trouble with him.

From True Monarch Burning Death, he learned that the few of them had received a message from True Monarch Nine Spirits immediately.

It was just that Saint Son Flood Dragon, for the sake of Saintess Nether Moon, directly disobeyed True Monarch Nine Spirits’ orders and forcibly rushed here.

And True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm and True Monarch Burning Death could only reluctantly come along.

“…”

Although True Monarch Profound Sword knew about the matter between Saint Son Flood Dragon and Saintess Nether Moon, he truly didn’t expect the other party to be so infatuated.

However, in cultivator battles or wars, it is precisely such foolish people who create opportunities.

“Fellow Daoist captured and killed four Nascent Soul cultivators from Liang State, reversing the war situation and establishing immense merit. Profound Sword is impressed.”

“Now that Liang State’s fighting strength is greatly diminished, the only things to watch out for are True Monarch Nine Spirits and the hidden Demonic Emissary.”

True Monarch Profound Sword cupped his hands and said, “City Lord Wang has subdued True Monarch Burning Death, do you know anything about the Demonic Emissary?”

“Regarding this Demonic Dao Emissary, Burning Death doesn’t know much and is unclear about his strength. He speculates that this person is likely from the Blood Sea Sect, one of the Seven Demonic Sects.”

Lu Changsheng said frankly.

He was not overly worried about this Demonic Dao Emissary.

Whether based on his fortune-telling or analysis and judgment from various aspects, the strength of this Demonic Dao Emissary was at most mid-stage Nascent Soul.

There was absolutely no possibility of him being late-stage Nascent Soul.

“Blood Sea Sect…” True Monarch Profound Sword nodded lightly. Through the analysis of the war situation over the years and the matter of True Monarch Nether Fiend, he also had this speculation.

“Does Fellow Daoist have confidence in dealing with this Demonic Dao Emissary?”

True Monarch Profound Sword asked.

As for True Monarch Nine Spirits, he could handle him.

The only one he was apprehensive about and couldn’t gauge was this Demonic Dao Emissary.

“As long as this person is not a late-stage Nascent Soul grand cultivator, I can handle him.”

Lu Changsheng said indifferently.

“Good!”

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Profound Sword’s eyes immediately shot out two beams of sword light.

He knew that this Demonic Dao Emissary absolutely could not be a late-stage Nascent Soul grand cultivator.

“In that case, I will now discuss with Fellow Daoist Chaotic Yuan and Fellow Daoist Violetlight to publicize your great victory, boost morale, and then launch a counterattack against Liang State!”

True Monarch Profound Sword spoke, knowing that Lu Changsheng’s purpose in coming this time was not merely to end this war.

He also intended to pacify and conquer Liang State!

Thereby exchanging Liang State for his own Jiang State.

“Alright.”

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly.

He then inquired, “I remember Yuan State has multiple Nascent Soul True Monarchs, but only the True Monarchs from Seven Kill Sect and Heavenly Eye Sect came to assist in the war. Will Yuan State provide further support?”

“Not likely. Yuan State and Liang State are not like Jiang State and Yue State, where one’s demise affects the other. They only want to get a share of the spoils from this war through Liang State.”

True Monarch Profound Sword immediately shook his head and said, “After hearing about Fellow Daoist’s strength, Seven Kill Sect and Heavenly Eye Sect might even choose to withdraw their troops.”

“Withdraw their troops?”

Lu Changsheng looked towards the important town where True Monarch Peerless Sword was located, unwilling to let Seven Kill Sect off so easily.

After all, previously in Yue State, he had killed a late-stage Core Formation cultivator from Seven Kill Sect using his identity as True Person Changsheng, which led them to send three cultivators to infiltrate Jiang State, intending to retaliate against the Lu family.

He had always kept this matter in mind.

“Hmm, what are City Lord Wang’s plans?” True Monarch Profound Sword asked.

“Have the armies of the Naked Body Sect, Heavenly Eye Sect, and Seven Kill Sect retreated? If not, Fellow Daoist can defend the city here, and I will take a trip to the other front lines.”

Lu Changsheng said this, preparing to see if he could find the Nascent Soul True Monarch of Seven Kill Sect and kill them.

“I’ll inquire.” True Monarch Profound Sword immediately asked True Monarch Peerless Sword about the situation, whether the Demonic Dao army on their side had retreated.

Before long, True Monarch Peerless Sword sent back news that the Demonic Dao army was already retreating and shortening their front lines.

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng could only abandon his idea.

With the protection of the Immortal City’s major formation, even if he wanted to breach the great formation, it would take some time.

Moreover, Liang State would definitely make significant moves next, so it was better for him not to leave casually.

After True Monarch Profound Sword finished talking with Lu Changsheng, he inquired about the details of the previous battle through the Jiang State cultivators in Scarlet Peak Immortal City.

“Reporting, True Monarch. Previously, True Monarch Yellow Springs, True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm, and True Monarch Burning Death attacked. True Monarch Yang Ming interfered with and affected True Monarch Yellow Springs through True Monarch Nether Moon, dispersing their fighting strength, thereby achieving a quick victory and dealing with True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm and True Monarch Burning Death…”

“Besides True Monarch Golden Roc, True Monarch Yang Ming also has a Tier 4 puppet.”

“This Tier 4 puppet seems to possess independent consciousness and can form a puppet battle formation, completely capable of matching a Nascent Soul True Monarch!”

These few cultivators immediately recounted the battle process between Lu Changsheng and the three True Monarchs, including True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm, with respectful expressions.

“True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm self-detonated his physical body?! A spirit treasure that restricts Nascent Soul spirits?”

True Monarch Profound Sword couldn’t help but be surprised upon hearing that True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm’s self-detonation of his physical body didn’t affect Lu Changsheng at all.

Although such a hasty self-detonation of the physical body couldn’t compare to the self-detonation of a Nascent Soul spirit.

Its power was still astonishing, comparable to a blow from a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

True Monarch Yang Ming was actually completely unaffected, unharmed, and in this interval, he dealt with both True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm and True Monarch Burning Death.

“This True Monarch Yang Ming’s physical body is likely more astonishing than I imagined…”

True Monarch Profound Sword knew that Lu Changsheng cultivated both magic and body.

But a typical cultivator who also trains their body would definitely be affected and suffer some external injuries when facing the self-detonation of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Of course, it was also possible that this True Monarch Yang Ming’s spirit treasure was extraordinary.

Besides this, he was surprised that Lu Changsheng, in addition to the two Tier 4 spirit beasts, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng and the Profound Sea Splitting Dragon Whale, actually possessed a Tier 4 Puppet King.

Ordinary Tier 4 puppets were similar to the Tier 4 Beast Kings of Beast God Mountain.

They were refined from Tier 4 spirit materials, and their combat power could at most resist a Nascent Soul True Monarch for a moment; it was impossible for them to contend with or match a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Whereas a Tier 4 Puppet King could only be refined by a top Puppet Dao Grandmaster.

Rumor has it that not only were the requirements for the puppet’s quality extremely high, but it also needed to be cultivated like a spirit treasure’s artifact spirit, using secret techniques to infuse it with spirit, giving birth to a puppet spirit with independent consciousness.

Such a Tier 4 Puppet King was extremely valuable and rarely seen, in no way inferior to a Tier 4 Shape-Shifting Demon King.

Even True Monarch Profound Sword had only heard of them and had never seen one.

He never expected that Lu Changsheng actually possessed one.

“Mid-stage Nascent Soul giant, dual cultivation of magic and body, top-tier sword dao treasure, top-tier遁形 spirit treasure, top-tier second dantian treasure, spirit treasure armor…”

“Besides two extremely obedient Tier 4 spirit beasts, he also possesses a Tier 4 Puppet King…”

True Monarch Profound Sword thought about the methods he had learned from Lu Changsheng during their interactions over this period and pondered which mighty figure had possessed or reincarnated.

After all, based on the analysis of True Person Yang Ming’s rise, there was no other possibility besides a mighty figure possessing or reincarnating.

How could a normal cultivator have such a rising speed?

However, the Southern Wilderness cultivation world is vast and boundless, and his knowledge is limited.

He couldn’t immediately find information about the relevant mighty figures based on this news and planned to search for such information when he had time.

Without much further thought, True Monarch Profound Sword began discussing the subsequent strategic plan with True Monarch Chaotic Yuan, True Monarch Peerless Sword, and True Monarch Violetlight.
