I Shall Be Everlasting In the World of Immortals 392

## Chapter 388: Divination and Entrapment

One year later.

The Da Yu Kingdom had become a disaster zone ravaged by demonic creatures. Third-rank demonic beasts appeared frequently, and the demonic tide was about to enter a full-scale outbreak phase.

Royal families, sect families, and immortal city merchant guilds all proactively dispatched cultivators to exterminate the demonic creatures within their jurisdictions, acquiring materials in the process.

Recently, news came from the Yunxia Sect camp that they had lost over a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators, two Fake Core cultivators, and one True Core cultivator was severely injured.

Most of these casualties came from families, sects, and immortal city markets affiliated with Yunxia Sect’s sphere of influence.

This did not include loose cultivators, otherwise the casualties would have been more than double.

Certain demonic creatures possessed bizarre talents, skilled in stealth and ambush. Some lone cultivators were attacked.

“The demonic calamity in the Central Region is ten times more dangerous than the beast tide of the Great Green Black Mist Mountain Range.”

Lu Changan couldn’t help but feel fortunate that he was no longer a small fry in the lower tiers of the cultivation world.

If he were still a mere Qi Refinement or Foundation Establishment loose cultivator, he would be swept up in this demonic calamity, unable to control his own destiny.

Nascent Soul True Jun stood at the top of the cultivation world. As long as they weren’t greedy, this kind of calamity posed little threat to their lives.

Furthermore, Lu Changan could even have the high-ranking cultivators of the sect assist him in acquiring the materials he needed.

He could protect many cultivators with a single thought, and he could also decide the life or death of certain individuals.

For example, Hu Ang, under Lu Changan’s influence, was also at his mercy.

…

“Ziyan, the demonic chaos is a disaster, but it’s also an opportunity for training.”

That day, discussing the casualties in the demonic chaos, Lu Changan proposed to Jiang Ziyan:

“Our sect’s new generation of Core Formation cultivators lack actual combat experience, especially those who have the potential to reach Nascent Soul. We Nascent Soul cultivators, after all, will eventually face the limits of our lifespan. The sect needs successors.”

Hearing this, Jiang Ziyan, with her astute mind, couldn’t help but think of the “Cloud Clear True Immortal” who failed to form a Core, all because he lacked training.

She secretly thought: Could Big Dragon be implying that he will return to his hometown one day, and the sect needs to cultivate new Nascent Soul cultivators as soon as possible?

“Big Dragon is right. The Nascent Soul seeds within the sect also need to make contributions through battles. They can’t just enjoy themselves within the sect.”

Feeling a sense of crisis, Jiang Ziyan agreed to Lu Changan’s proposal.

Once Lu Changan and Di Yan Jun left, Yunxia Sect would only have her, one Nascent Soul True Jun, left.

The Nascent Soul seeds within the sect had to accelerate their growth.

In fact, Jiang Ziyan had considered this aspect, such as having late-stage Core Formation cultivators lead the Nascent Soul seeds to exterminate demonic creatures, providing them with protection.

A few days later.

Jiang Haoran, Hu Ang, and other new-generation Core Formation cultivators participated in the demon hunting within Yunxia Sect’s sphere of influence, serving as crucial combat forces.

Among them, Jiang Haoran possessed an Immortal Core, being the descendant of the elder brother of the Purple Mist Immortal. Due to his exceptional Earth Spirit Root aptitude, Jiang Ziyan had nurtured him with special attention from a young age.

As far as Lu Changan knew, the Purple Mist Immortal had given Jiang Haoran a few life-saving trump cards, including a top-grade third-rank puppet, along with fourth-rank spiritual talisman escape talismans, protective treasures, and so on.

Although Hu Ang was also a direct disciple with the potential of a half-step Golden Core, there was a difference in treatment.

“Good, going out to exterminate demonic creatures can bring back many precious materials. It’s also an opportunity to make a fortune by killing and stealing treasures during the chaos…”

Hu Ang felt a sense of liberation after being sent out of the mountain gate.

Previously, he had been under the watchful eyes of the Nascent Soul True Jun, walking on eggshells and being careful with his words, afraid of making a mistake.

Hu Ang had also pondered the deeper meaning behind the Purple Mist Immortal’s arrangement, wondering if there was any disadvantage.

The reasoning was sound.

Back then, the Cloud Clear True Immortal, who failed to form a Core, was a disciple highly regarded by Cloud Mist True Jun, lacking sufficient training.

With this precedent, Hu Ang agreed with the Purple Mist Immortal’s arrangement.

Besides, the Purple Mist Immortal did not want the outside world to know the secret of Xiang Da Long’s potential departure.

Therefore, she could not reveal her previous conversation with Xiang Da Long.

Hu Ang naturally didn’t know that Lu Changan had played a role in this.

…

Half a year later.

The demonic chaos swept across the entire Central Region, with the closer cultivation realms experiencing a more severe calamity.

Within the Da Yu Kingdom, third-rank top-tier, even near-fourth-rank demonic creatures emerged.

Fortunately, most of these demonic creatures fought individually, lacking any organization.

Some emerged from the forbidden zones in the Central Region, while others were resurrected and born from various places. Because they were demonized species, their battles were chaotic, and their intelligence was lower than their corresponding demon beasts.

“According to intelligence and divination, Jing Wu Feng has attracted the actions of the Central Region Nascent Soul cultivators, such as the Nether Water True Jun. They have gone to the forbidden zone in the Central Region, far away.”

“Right now, the demonic chaos has caused widespread chaos in the Da Yu Kingdom, presenting a rare opportunity.”

In the Cloud Mist Peak subworld, numerous divination artifacts floated around Lu Changan, meticulously calculating and confirming the most crucial information.

After ascending to the Nascent Soul stage, his lifespan had increased significantly. Lu Changan spared no expense in improving his divination skills.

After emerging from seclusion, in order to scheme against his enemies, he had frequently divined, consuming lifespan in cultivation.

Lu Changan could bear a lifespan loss of over a hundred years to break through to the fourth-rank divination Grandmaster.

For ordinary Nascent Soul old monsters, this would be equivalent to a tenth of their lifespan, an unimaginable price to pay.

This was only the price for breaking through to the fourth rank.

Reaching the top tier of the third rank required a significant amount of time, effort, talent, and foundation.

Fortunately, Lu Changan inherited the third-rank divination skills of the fourth-life Li Huo Upper Person, so the price was much lower.

Becoming a fourth-rank divination Grandmaster was one of the necessary conditions for Lu Changan to return to the Great Green.

Only then would he have a chance to deal with Green Wood True Jun and acquire the remaining techniques of the Eternal Green Art.

…

A few months later.

Lu Changan, who was in seclusion cultivating, suddenly felt a sense of premonition and looked towards the northwest direction of the Da Yu Kingdom.

A monstrous demonic aura emanated from there.

Even though it was far away, the Nascent Soul True Jun within the Da Yu Kingdom, as well as the sensing formations in various locations, felt it.

“It’s not within the sect’s sphere of influence.”

The Purple Mist Immortal flew out of the subworld and exchanged a few words with Lu Changan.

“I’ll go take a look!”

Lu Changan simply informed them before taking Di Yan Jun and heading straight for the location of the fourth-rank demonic creature.

“Big Dragon, wait…”

The Purple Mist Immortal was caught off guard and couldn’t help but scold.

She didn’t expect Xiang Da Long to be so eager and act so rashly.

…

Half a day later, Lu Changan arrived at the heartland of the Da Yu Kingdom, within the sphere of influence of the Four Great Families.

However, when Lu Changan reached the scene, the fourth-rank demonic creature had already been killed by the combined effort of the Nascent Soul cultivators from the royal family.

There wasn’t a single hair left.

“True Jun Xiang has arrived a step too late.”

Yu Yuan Jin, the Heavenly Yuan Sword Jun, who was among those hunting the creature, smiled and greeted Lu Changan.

“As a newly ascended Nascent Soul cultivator, this Xiang has never seen a fourth-rank demonic creature. I just came to broaden my horizons.”

Lu Changan chuckled, pretending to be unconcerned.

Yu Yuan Jin and the other three Nascent Soul cultivators glanced at Di Yan Jun, who stood behind Lu Changan, emitting a surge of Earthly Demon energy, naturally not believing this nonsense.

“True Jun Xiang, would you like to have a drink in the Imperial City?”

“Thank you for the invitation! The demonic calamity is rampant and causing havoc, this Xiang cannot leave the sect for too long.”

Looking at Lu Changan and Di Yan Jun, who hurriedly turned back, the three Nascent Soul cultivators exchanged glances.

“Is Xiang Da Long interfering?”

“Well, we are all in the Da Yu Kingdom cultivation world. Xiang Da Long taking the initiative to help shoulder the burden of the demonic calamity is understandable.”

“Why is the Eternal Green True Jun, a newly ascended Nascent Soul cultivator, so eager to hunt fourth-rank demonic beasts?”

“Could it be…”

Thinking of Xiang Da Long’s status as a Puppet Grandmaster, the Nascent Soul cultivators present had a vague guess.

…

Back at the Yunxia Sect, Lu Changan returned quickly, somewhat dejected.

“Big Dragon, you actively sought to hunt fourth-rank demonic creatures, is it to gather materials for fourth-rank puppets?”

“Yes, breaking through to the fourth-rank puppet Grandmaster requires a lot of materials. And materials from fourth-rank demonic creatures are more suitable.”

Lu Changan didn’t hide it.

“You, next time you act, explain clearly so that Ziyan won’t be worried.”

The Purple Mist Immortal reprimanded him playfully, holding Lu Changan’s hand as they returned to the Purple Mist Peak subworld.

After a long moment of affection, Jiang Ziyan’s beautiful face still glowed with a gentle blush.

She asked softly, “Big Dragon, what are your chances of breaking through to the fourth-rank puppet Grandmaster?”

“Without going through two failures, it will be difficult to succeed.”

Lu Changan lamented.

“However, with enough materials, even if I fail, the puppet will degrade during refining. There is a 40-50% chance of creating a near-fourth-rank puppet.”

“A near-fourth-rank puppet, that’s not bad.”

The Purple Mist Immortal’s heart skipped a beat. Xiang Da Long’s degraded product from failing to break through to the fourth-rank puppet Grandmaster could also greatly enhance the sect’s foundation.

“Our sect has some material reserves. This demonic chaos, I can also help a bit. I’ll use the sect’s influence to secretly acquire materials.”

“Yes, it’s best to keep this matter confidential, otherwise it could easily be obstructed by enemies.”

Lu Changan nodded.

…

Two months later, Lu Changan turned 393 years old.

A near-fourth-rank demonic creature appeared within Yunxia Sect’s sphere of influence.

It was a dark red, double-headed demonic wolf, towering several meters tall, like a small mountain.

This demonic creature destroyed a cultivation family and breached a market.

The presence of cultivators, even spiritual veins, would attract the attacks of demonic creatures.

Lu Changan and Di Yan Jun arrived quickly.

Di Yan Jun transformed into his giant rat king form, swirling a dark, sandstorm whirlwind, instantly suppressing the near-fourth-rank demonic creature, rendering it unable to fight back.

Lu Changan provided some support, summoning the Dragon Wood Staff, which expanded into a giant purple-green tree tens of meters tall. Faint blood-dragon shadows were drawn on its surface, and a large bone dragon head appeared at the end of the staff, emitting a terrifying dragon roar.

Boom!

In an instant, the near-fourth-rank double-headed demonic wolf was killed by Lu Changan and Di Yan Jun.

Di Yan Jun quickly dismembered the body, not even sparing the demonic blood.

Years ago, he had absorbed some primordial turbid energy, and his demon energy contained the Earthly Demon aura. The demonic beast’s essence blood and core were his cultivation resources.

For human cultivators or ordinary demon beasts, it would be counterproductive to improve their cultivation through demonic beast cores and essence blood. It was usually used as material for magical artifacts, flying boats, and puppets.

Lu Changan put away the Dragon Wood Staff, feeling comfortable with it. His frontal combat prowess was quite ferocious.

The downside was high consumption, but the endurance of the Eternal Green’s true energy could sustain prolonged combat.

…

Great Serpent Mountain, Earth Abyss Forbidden Zone.

“Based on various signs, and the intelligence conveyed by our internal agent within the Yunxia Sect, Xiang Da Long is very likely collecting materials for fourth-rank puppets, attempting to break through to the puppet Grandmaster realm.”

“This Eternal Green True Jun has great ambitions. The demonic calamity has actually brought him opportunities.”

Crimson Serpent True Jun and Crimson Flame True Jun sat in front of a poisonous swamp, their expressions grave.

Lu Changan’s eagerness to hunt high-level demonic creatures naturally attracted the attention of Great Serpent Mountain.

Yunxia Sect’s secret collection of near-fourth-rank demonic creature materials had also not escaped the eyes of their internal agent.

This news, however, didn’t make Great Serpent Mountain feel good.

The combat strength of a typical fourth-rank puppet is slightly weaker than a same-rank Nascent Soul cultivator; but puppets have no life, making them effective against Great Serpent Mountain’s poisonous creatures.

For example, the newly ascended Crimson Flame True Jun, who practiced poison techniques, his greatest trump card was his invisible fourth-rank potent poison.

A single fourth-rank puppet could easily restrain a poison Grandmaster.

“We must not allow the Yunxia Sect to control fourth-rank puppets and successfully give birth to a fourth-rank puppet Grandmaster. Otherwise, Great Serpent Mountain will inevitably face retaliation!”

The two True Jun quickly reached a consensus: they had to at least prevent Xiang Da Long from obtaining these fourth-rank demonic creature materials so easily.

Whoosh!

From the poison-fog-covered swamp, a red-faced man with an oval head emerged. His skin was covered in dense scales, and his blood-red mouth revealed poisonous teeth and a snake’s tongue.

The Crimson Shadow Snake King appeared, his pupils cold:

“This demonic calamity is fierce, and sooner or later, fourth-rank demonic creatures will appear in the territories of the two major sects. At that time, we can take advantage of Xiang Da Long and his companion’s hunt to seize the opportunity. If luck is on our side, we can force Xiang Da Long’s Nascent Soul to flee and devour Di Yan Jun!”

The Crimson Shadow Snake King, revealing his plan, exuded killing intent and a greedy look.

He had been stuck at the peak of the early stage of the fourth rank for too many years. If he could devour the rat king possessing Earthly Demon energy, it would be a rare opportunity.

Crimson Flame True Jun agreed: “I believe the royal family wouldn’t want to see the Yunxia Sect produce a fourth-rank puppet Grandmaster and grow stronger. Under the chaotic situation of the demonic calamity, they would turn a blind eye while we scheme and obstruct.”

“While that may be true, Yunxia Sect has been tricked by us before and wouldn’t be completely unprepared. What if there is a trap?”

Crimson Serpent True Jun had some reservations, feeling that the plan of being the lurking yellow sparrow wouldn’t be so easy to achieve.

Both sides had three Nascent Soul cultivators, and they didn’t have an advantage.

Ziyan True Jun and Di Yan Jun wouldn’t be difficult to handle, but Xiang Da Long’s puppet formations could temporarily withstand one Nascent Soul True Jun.

Crimson Serpent True Jun had some experience in divination, possessing a near-mid-level third-rank skill.

He divined for a while, but the divination was vague and didn’t have a clear direction, as it involved multiple Nascent Soul True Jun.

“Nether Water True Jun, even the Demon Blade Nangong Xiu, are participating in the encirclement of Jing Tian True Jun. With our manpower, wanting to make Xiang Da Long pay a price and devour Di Yan Jun is unrealistic right now.”

Crimson Serpent True Jun shook his head slightly, unwilling to implement a plan that was too risky.

Only with a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator present could he have some confidence.

“So… we will keep a close watch on Xiang Da Long’s movements and monitor the surrounding fourth-rank demonic creatures. As soon as Xiang Da Long hunts a fourth-rank demonic creature, we will appear to exert our presence and prevent him from succeeding. If everyone joins forces to eliminate the demonic creature, Xiang Da Long’s share will be quite low.”

Crimson Serpent True Jun’s plan was more conservative, lowering his expectations.

They wouldn’t covet the fourth-rank rat king.

Nor would they expect to force Xiang Da Long to release his Nascent Soul, causing a significant loss.

In his opinion, an unsheathed blade is more intimidating.

Maintaining intimidation could disrupt Xiang Da Long’s plans.

Even the yellow sparrow’s ambush had some risks, and they could fall into a trap.

“Damn it! The last time I listened to you, I told Crimson Flame to stay behind in the sect, but we ended up losing and gained nothing.”

Crimson Shadow Snake King glared, scolding him on the spot.

Mentioning the previous ambush plan, Crimson Serpent True Jun’s face darkened. He had been criticized by the Supreme Snake King for being too conservative and should have attacked with everything they had.

Of course, they didn’t know that Lu Changan’s fourth-rank puppet was also watching Great Serpent Mountain at that time.

“Well, I’ll ask the Pagoda Scattered Person to come secretly and seize the opportunity.”

“But remember, unless it’s extremely favorable, like Di Yan Jun getting injured in a battle with a fourth-rank demonic creature and his demon energy being greatly depleted, it’s not worth trying.”

After a long discussion, Crimson Serpent True Jun had to concede, giving Crimson Shadow Snake King some hope.

After all, the Snake King was the strongest and had the most seniority.

Crimson Flame True Jun had already gone beyond the initial stage of Nascent Soul and was itching for a fight. As a poison Grandmaster, he didn’t want to see the birth of an opposing puppet Grandmaster.

“I understand! I won’t act recklessly.”

Crimson Shadow Snake King was irritated and impatient.

As a Heavenly Bloodline Snake King, his lifespan, though far exceeding that of his same-rank Nascent Soul cultivators, was also nearing its end.

He had attempted to devour Di Yan Jun multiple times, but had failed once, filling him with anger.

If Xiang Da Long became a fourth-rank puppet Grandmaster, he would fear nothing, not even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and there would be no opportunity left.

…

Half a year later, more high-level demonic creatures appeared in the Da Yu Kingdom.

Cultivation forces below the Nascent Soul level felt immense pressure, and many spiritual vein gathering grounds were breached.

Lower-level cultivators suffered countless casualties.

Major forces gradually lost Core Formation cultivators, but overall, it was still within a manageable range.

Nascent Soul True Jun stood high above, only facing top-tier third-rank demonic creatures or above, would they act.

Recently, three fourth-rank demonic creatures appeared simultaneously in the Da Yu Kingdom, wreaking havoc, and their intelligence was quite remarkable. They would immediately flee upon encountering multiple Nascent Soul True Jun.

Finally, a fourth-rank demonic creature appeared near the Yunxia Sect and Great Serpent Mountain.

This fourth-rank demonic creature was troublesome because it was a special demonic bird, highly mobile.

The fourth-rank demonic bird, flying past the outskirts of Great Serpent Mountain’s territory, destroyed a family affiliated with Great Serpent Mountain, and then entered Yunxia Sect’s sphere of influence.

Yunxia Sect also received news of this.

Xiang Da Long and Di Yan Jun quickly took action, pursuing the fourth-rank demonic bird aggressively.

However, the fourth-rank demonic bird was highly mobile, able to escape into the vast Nine Yang Heaven or the deep mountains and forests, making it difficult for ordinary two or three early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators to capture it.

But if they ignored it, such a demonic bird would pose a great danger.

On the outskirts of Great Serpent Mountain’s territory, a broad river held a coiled, dark-black scaled giant serpent, its form compressed, its aura concealed to the extreme, covered in algae.

Any fish that accidentally approached would silently be poisoned to death, turning into rotten bones.

“It’s indeed a fourth-rank demonic sparrow. Before its demonization, it seems to be a descendant of an ancient exotic bloodline.”

Crimson Shadow Snake King sensed the direction of the Yunxia Sect’s territory.

In that area, a fourth-rank demonic creature’s aura could faintly be felt in the sky, and within the rampant demonic energy, there was a chaotic and noble bloodline aura.

Crimson Shadow Snake King’s sense of smell was keen. For the past six months, he had volunteered to monitor the surrounding fourth-rank demonic creatures to target Yunxia Sect.

This fourth-rank demonic bird first appeared in Great Serpent Mountain’s territory, where a few disciples saw its shadow and heard its chirping.

When Great Serpent Mountain’s Nascent Soul cultivators arrived, the fourth-rank demonic bird had long since disappeared.

Now, with the confirmation of the fourth-rank demonic sparrow’s presence, that chaotic and noble bloodline aura gave Crimson Shadow Snake King a subtle feeling of facing a natural predator.

Fortunately, the fourth-rank demonic sparrow was only at the early stage of the fourth rank, and it didn’t pose a threat to him yet.

“The fourth-rank demonic bird was chased and fled to the border area of the two sects. Xiang Da Long seemed hesitant and didn’t dare to press further. He drove it towards our sect.”

Observing for a while, Crimson Shadow Snake King sent a message to Great Serpent Mountain.

If it weren’t for the two True Jun’s instructions, he couldn’t hold back and would have gone to investigate Yunxia Sect’s territory.

Now, the demonic tide was raging, and Yunxia Sect was also entangled with the fourth-rank demonic creature, with no spare capacity to manage other matters. He could easily infiltrate.

Unfortunately, Crimson Serpent True Jun was too conservative. He could only approach the border of the two sects at most.

“Don’t act rashly! Pagoda Scattered Person is on his way and will arrive in our sect’s territory soon.”

Crimson Serpent True Jun sent a telepathic message to the Snake King.

…

Half a day later, Nascent Soul-level combat fluctuations came from the sky above the area where the two sects border, accompanied by demonic energy and demon energy.

Nascent Soul-level combat was extremely loud. The fluctuations in heaven and earth’s spiritual energy could be sensed by Nascent Soul cultivators from far away.

“They’re fighting!”

Crimson Shadow Snake King was excited, this was a golden opportunity for the lurking yellow sparrow.

He sent another message.

Crimson Serpent True Jun and Crimson Flame True Jun were on their way.

The two Nascent Soul cultivators instructed the Snake King to keep an eye on the area where the fight was taking place and not act for now.

Crimson Shadow Snake King couldn’t hold back and quietly approached the area where the two sects bordered.

Approaching the area of combat for a thousand miles, the sound of a sparrow chirping could faintly be heard from the clouds.

Demonic energy, demon energy, three Nascent Soul-level combat… no mistake!

Now, he just had to wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

Crimson Shadow Snake King’s heart was pounding, as if seeing prey fall into his dish.

Crimson Shadow Snake King, who was focused on the sky, suddenly felt a change in the surrounding heaven and earth’s spiritual energy.

In a split second, the environment in front of him twisted.

The barren mountains and forests of a moment ago transformed into a boundless desert under a scorching sun.

“Fourth-rank illusion array!”

Crimson Shadow Snake King’s face changed drastically. By the time he reacted, he was already trapped within the array.

Cut off from the outside world, he couldn’t send messages.

Crimson Shadow Snake King wasn’t panicked. This kind of fourth-rank array, which didn’t rely on a spiritual vein but on spirit stones and formations, wouldn’t be able to hold him for long.

Plop! Plop! Plop!

In the desert around Crimson Shadow Snake King, sixteen puppets emerged from the sand, all at the mid-to-late stages of the third rank, forming a powerful puppet energy crystal thread that intertwined, generating Nascent Soul-level spiritual pressure.

“Just a fourth-rank illusion array and a puppet formation, you think you can trap this King?”

Crimson Shadow Snake King sneered.

Blood-colored demonic energy surged, making a “boom” sound as it transformed into a crimson-scaled Snake King, thirty meters tall, terrifying to behold.

Whoosh! Boom!

Dark blood-colored, sinister demonic light, swirling with potent poison gas, accompanied by the powerful sweep of the snake’s tail, smashed into the sixteen puppets within the array.

This burst of attack was comparable to a range spell by a peak early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and the terrifying poison made it even more troublesome.

However, after the poison gas dissipated, the puppet formation formed by sixteen puppets, with their puppet energy crystal threads flashing brightly and dimly, didn’t collapse as expected.

“These sixteen puppets, they actually serve as the base of the array, fusing with the fourth-rank illusion array.”

Crimson Shadow Snake King’s face turned grim.

It was like his previous attack had been simultaneously absorbed by the puppet formation and the fourth-rank illusion array.

Both of them were immune to his potent poison.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two figures appeared on both sides of Crimson Shadow Snake King, both emitting Nascent Soul-level spiritual pressure.

One was a giant, demonic rat wrapped in a Earthly Demon whirlwind, none other than Di Yan Jun, whom he had been coveting for a long time.

The other was a man in white, the newly ascended Nascent Soul cultivator, Xiang Da Long, the Eternal Green True Jun.

“Xiang Da Long, you dare to ambush this King here?”

Crimson Shadow Snake King’s eyes turned icy, filled with anger, but he wasn’t afraid.

He sensed the approaching “Snake King Spiritual Contract” of Great Serpent Mountain, and two Nascent Soul True Jun would arrive soon.

With his Heavenly Bloodline, his powerful fourth-rank demon king physique, even if he were besieged by three early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, he could easily wait for reinforcements.

Di Yan Jun, seeing the snake king’s form, which was far larger than himself, felt a shiver of bloodline instinct, revealing his fear.

Seeing this, Crimson Shadow Snake King felt disdain and sneered:

“You two, you’re not going to be able to do anything to this King in a short time.”

“Really?”

Lu Changan smiled faintly. Two more powerful auras appeared within the fourth-rank illusion array.

A sparrow chirped.

Above the Snake King’s head, a gorgeous, noble five-colored peacock appeared, its mouth containing a demonic core, and the demonic energy runes on its body were breaking apart.

“That fourth-rank demonic sparrow…”

Crimson Shadow Snake King realized, his heart skipped a beat, sensing a bad feeling.

Whoosh!

A black-faced, tusked man in blue armor appeared behind the Snake King, his aura was strange, not like a human Nascent Soul cultivator.

In an instant, Crimson Shadow Snake King was locked down by five Nascent Soul-level auras almost simultaneously.

And this didn’t even count the fourth-rank illusion array.

Under these circumstances, even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would be terrified, let alone a early-stage fourth-rank demon king.

“You… you…”

The enormous Crimson Shadow Snake King trembled, his voice even weakened.

Lu Changan summoned the Dragon Wood Staff and smashed it down:

“You, Great Serpent Mountain, ambushed me back then. Today, you need to give me an explanation!”

Before his voice finished, five Nascent Soul-level attacks engulfed Crimson Shadow Snake King’s form.
