Indeed, if not for such a heaven-defying Pill Skill, why would over ten Demon Lords spare no expense in attacking the Fu City of Land Puppet Mansion?
Upon this realization, everyone couldnât help but inhale sharply.
Seeing this, Lei Daman smiled in satisfaction. His piece of news had shocked them to such an extent; how fulfilling!
Li Cheng also looked at Lei Da admiringly and raised his wine pot, âHereâs one!â
âRight, letâs all take one!â A few others echoed in agreement.
âBrother, what may I call you? With such information, you must come from an impressive background!â Lei Da asked after taking a few hearty sips.
Li Cheng shrugged, âI go by Yun Tianqiong. Brother Lei, why do you think that senior of mine didnât tell me about Li Chengâs concoction of fourth and fifth level Divine Pills?â
Lei Da pondered, stroking his chin, and slowly said, âItâs normal to hold back some information. The more you say, the easier it is to expose yourself.â
âThatâs also true. My senior is only a Divine King, so he really should be cautious,â Li Cheng casually lied.
A smug look reappeared on Lei Daâs face, âI see. So, since my senior of the Divine Emperor level does not need to be too cautious, heh heh, come on, letâs take one!â
Li Cheng took a swig, it seems that after he returns, he would have to ask Blunt Empty Venerable to thoroughly investigate those Pill Masters. Heaven knows how many from the Demon Race had infiltrated.
Moreover, after returning, if a Pill Master at the Divine Emperor Realm wanted to see him, he would definitely have Dan Chi and Dan Zui bring them along. Otherwise, relying on himself alone, if the visitor turned out to be an infiltrator, he feared he might not be able to cope.
âItâs beyond imagination! If such a powerful Pill Master could join us, that would be our fortune!â one person said with anticipation.
Li Cheng took over the conversation, âExactly, Iâm sure those Demon Lords above have the same thought, hence the relentless attack on the Fu City of Land Puppet Mansion.â
Lei Da nodded in agreement, then laughed, âItâs been over twenty years, the situation has been at a deadlock and now thereâs even a sign of the Human Tribe repelling them. The likelihood of snatching Li Cheng away seems slim.â
âLei Da speaks wisely. If we canât snatch him, the only option left is to kill him. But with the protection of the Mansion Venerable, killing him would be difficult, unless a Demon Emperor-level existence were to get involved!â another person analyzed.
Lei Da shrugged, âI only said the possibility is slim, but with careful planning, there might still be a chance to snatch him away. At worst, we could simply kill him.â
Li Cheng glanced at Lei Da, noting that this man had a close relationship with that so-called senior. Not only had he shared the details about that dayâs Alchemy, but also revealed deeper schemes to him.
From what he said, after twenty years of fruitless siege, they already had a new plan in motion.
Li Cheng guessed darkly, the prolonged failure might prompt the undercover Evil Demons within Fu City to take action against him, hence Lei Daâs words.
âHeh heh, Lei Da, if we could kill Li Cheng and bring back his body to transform into a member of the Corpse Clan or Bone Clan, it wouldnât take long to regain the status of Supreme Alchemy Dao,â one person chuckled.
Li Cheng was taken aback. This idea⦠was quite horrifying!
âAll said and done, what does this have to do with us? This is for those above to contemplate. Letâs just enjoy our drinks!â Lei Da raised his wine pot and tipped it back generously.
Li Cheng suddenly noticed a dark aura and a faint trace of dead energy colliding around Lei Daâs neck.
After a slight pondering, Li Cheng asked, âBrother Lei, whatâs with this dead energy around you?â
It wasnât that Li Cheng was concerned about the man, but rather, this dead energy presented an opportunity!
Lei Da let out a sigh, âAn old problem for over two hundred million years, itâs nothing.â
Li Cheng smiled, âBrother Lei is indeed carefree. Why not seek the aid of a senior from your clan?â
âBrother Yun might not be aware, a Demon Lord had once tried to help Lei Da but to no avail. They said only an object rich with Life Law could eliminate it, but such a treasure is not easy to find,â someone explained.
Li Cheng took another swig of his drink, saying, âThe Blood Demon Clanâs domain is said to be derived from the remains of a Divine Dragon that specialized in the Life Law. Iâve always believed thereâs some truth to legends; perhaps there, Brother Lei might find what heâs seeking.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThe Demonic Dragon Forbidden Area?â The color drained from a few faces. They all turned their heads to look around, relieved to see that no one had paid attention to Li Chengâs words, before they relaxed.
Lei Daâs expression also became grave, âThat place is not to be casually mentioned, Brother Yun, please be careful with your words!â
Li Cheng shrugged, âThough itâs my first encounter with everyone here, I feel a kinship. It was out of concern for Brother Leiâs ailment that I spoke.â
Lei Da chuckled, âLetâs drink!â
The group lifted their pots and drank deeply.
Li Cheng said, âGentlemen, Yun has some matters to attend to, so Iâll take my leave first!â
After leaving the tavern, Li Cheng went straight out of the city and came to a small hill, where he casually found a rock to sit on.
Before long, Lei Daman appeared. âBrother Yun, did you know I would come?â
Li Cheng was clearly waiting for someone.
Li Cheng smiled, âI, too, have hidden injuries. The Demonic Dragon Forbidden Area can help me recover.â
Having no idea where the Demonic Dragon Forbidden Area was, and not realizing that even mentioning this place here was taboo, Li Cheng could only wait for Lei Daman.
Lei Daman sighed, âI wonât lie to Brother Yun, Iâve actually sneaked in there before, but I couldnât penetrate deep into it. The formations there are truly too strong, I returned without achieving anything.â
Li Cheng nodded, âI wonât hide it from Brother Lei either. Although Iâve never been there, Iâve also heard that there are formidable formations guarding the place. Thatâs why Iâve devoted myself to the Array Path for the past two hundred million years, all for today!â
Lei Damanâs eyes lit up, âBrother Yun, are you confident? You should know, any slight carelessness could trigger the formationâs alarm. At that time, we will face an unparalleled strong being of the Demon Lord level, and they will not listen to our explanations. They are bound to crush us with a flick of their hand!â
Li Cheng smiled, it was a play!
This guy was already tempted!
He just needed to showcase his Array Mastery a bit to make him submit, and the matter would be settled!
Thinking this, Li Cheng said with a smile, âI say I am confident, but Brother Lei certainly wonât fully trust me. How about Brother Lei tests me a bit?â
Lei Daman pondered, then shook his head, âI felt a kinship with Brother Yun at first sight. Since Brother Yun says he is confident, how can I not believe him?â
The tone changed, Lei Daman said, âPlease wait for me for four hours, Brother Yun. Iâll make some preparations and then come back.â
Li Cheng nodded, watching Lei Daman return to the city.
After a while, Lei Daman came back.
Looking at the approaching Lei Daman, Li Chengâs expression was somewhat strange. He cleared his throat and said, âBrother Lei, that portable formation of yours isnât bad, your true body is still ten miles away, yet youâve projected an identical replica to appear before me.â
The formation that Lei Daman activated was a bit odd; it had no other purpose but to reflect his true body ten miles away, misleading others.
Li Cheng knew that this was Lei Damanâs test.
Though he verbally said he believed, his actions showed he did not fully trust and had intentionally gone back to the city to get this portable formation to probe.
Li Chengâs words shocked Lei Daman, but at the same time, it was like taking a reassurance pill. He withdrew the formation and said apologetically, âBrother Yun, please donât take offense. Matters of life and death must be approached with caution!â
âI understand, I would have tested you too. Can we set off now?â Li Cheng said.
Lei Daman clasped his hands together, âBrother Yun, I hope we both achieve what we desire!â
Saying that, Lei Daman took the lead and flew away.
Li Cheng followed. âBrother Lei, how much do you know about that place?â
Lei Daman did not suspect anything; after all, that place was the object of yearning for many cultivators, but ordinary Demon Race members or Dead Spirits knew very little about it.
âAs far as I know, the legends are true. That place is indeed transformed from a Divine Dragon that specialized in the Life Law after death. Moreover, that Divine Dragon was likely of the Divine Emperor level. Later, the Blood Demon Race took over that place and transformed it somewhat, turning it into their cultivation paradise.â
âHowever, not all Blood Demons are qualified to enter. The Blood Demon Race strictly controls access, and Iâm not clear on the specifics.â
What Lei Daman said wasnât very valuable; it seemed that the Blood Demon Clan indeed kept tight control, and little information was leaked out, so outsiders couldnât discover much even if they tried.
Of course, part of the reason could also be that Lei Daman wasnât strong enough. If he were a Divine Venerable, naturally, he would know the situation inside.
âIt doesnât matter. Iâve immersed myself in studying formations for two hundred million years and have seen many high-level Divine Arrays. I think there shouldnât be a big problem,â Li Cheng said.
After all, it was a fabrication, two hundred million years, five hundred million years; just make it up!
Li Cheng didnât claim there would be absolutely no problems, which made Lei Daman even more at ease. After all, every path should be approached with a humble attitude.
After flying for two days, Lei Daman took a deep breath, âWe are about to arrive, Brother Yun, get ready!â
