Chapter 792 A Crushing Defeat: Mai Emerges from Seclusion (Part 1)

"The Blood Demon Nine Annihilation of Moving Mountains will reach new heights and will inevitably become a great calamity sooner or later."

Yu Wangji gazed at the illusion mirror before him, his aura swirling around him, as if he were calculating something using the image.

"More than that, I have already seen the magic array on the other side of Guzhu Kingdom. The ever-changing illusionary dream demon body of Nongyue in the past is even more powerful than before. In the past, there were still traces to follow, but now it is like a deer hanging its horns, without any clues."

Silence, like an invisible hand, hung over the throats of these experts at the Void Step level, causing them to lower their voices for a moment.

This is something no one wants to face directly, yet it's a heavy burden on everyone's heart.

The lineage of the Longevity Cult is problematic.

This is not unusual. In this world, apart from those major sects with a few Earth Immortals in charge, who can confidently say that their own method can directly lead to the supreme Dao?
We are all crossing the river by feeling the stones.

However, the problem with the Longevity Cult is that the step from Void Step to Longevity is extremely difficult. Even with a powerful figure like the Lord of the End of Dharma supporting them, there are only a handful of Longevity cultivators who have truly crossed that threshold.

Since arriving in the Southern Wilderness, only eight people in the Longevity Sect have attained the Dao of Longevity.

Apart from these, they all perished.

This is the most tragic reality facing Yu Wangji, Helian Qianqiu, and other cultivators of the Longevity Cult. Being used as elixirs by those immortal demons is secondary; what's most hateful is the despair of having no way forward.

Watching Yishan and Nongyue, whose cultivation was once inferior to their own, gradually acquire the appearance of immortality, these Void-Stepping Masters of the Longevity Sect knew the bitterness and joy of their situation.

What's the point of saying all this now?

Liao Kong Dao Ren looked at the three people around him with their uncertain expressions.

"The Yang marrow is retreating, and Yishan and Nongyue are over there. How should we handle this situation in Guzhu Kingdom? Should we just watch?"

Hanako Ryu gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, I'll just watch."

Nongyue injured his own Dao Foundation back then, making her an irreconcilable enemy of Hanako-ryu. However, Hanako-ryu has no intention of making things difficult for her at this moment.

Taking action now would only create more trouble for ourselves.

"That's right, anyway, what does it have to do with us?"

Helian Qianqiu added, "Jin Yunu has always regarded the Guzhu Kingdom as her own possession. Now that this piece of fat meat is about to be lost, she and Huagu will take it back themselves."

"What we've lost is the face of the Longevity Sect."

Liaokong Daoren said fiercely, "If you two don't step forward, Wangji and I will go through this."

He was like a starving wolf, watching his opponent rush into his territory, eager to pounce and fight to the death.

Liao Kong Dao Ren and Yu Wang Ji are, after all, direct descendants of Dan Chen Zi, and the Chang Sheng Sect holds a very high position in their hearts.

Helian Qianqiu and Hanako Ryu did not have this awareness.

"Then I won't give it away."

Helian Qianqiu smiled slightly.

Since they couldn't see eye to eye, Daoist Liaokong and Yu Wangji didn't linger. Daoist Liaokong simply turned and left, while Yu Wangji gave an awkward smile and followed his senior brother.

"It was at this moment that he remembered that he was a direct descendant of the Longevity Sect."

As soon as the two figures walked away, Helian Qianqiu couldn't help but sneer, "I wonder where Ancestor Dan Chenzi is now. He hasn't been seen for hundreds of years."

"Anyway, it's none of our business."

Hua Ziliu looked at Helian Qianqiu and said, "Our master is coming back soon. Let's be careful and prepare to welcome him. Once our master returns, let's see how long Hua Gu can remain arrogant."

Lingkong Venerable has been away from the realm for many years and has not been involved in the affairs of the sect. Those with insight all believe that this Immortal Demon Lord is avoiding the sharp edge of Ma Yi. This return is the result of long-planned efforts, and it is unknown what kind of waves it will cause.

"As long as it doesn't interfere with our business with that Yang marrow."

Helian Qianqiu paused for a moment and then said, "We have received news from the Central Plains that a batch of dragon cocoons will be sent over in a while. If you ask me, we should let Yang Sui take a look. Maybe he really has a solution."

"It's worth a try. The north is pressuring us too much. If it weren't for Master's orders, I really wouldn't want to deal with them."

Hanako Ryu complained and then started walking outside.

"What are you going to do?"

Helian Qianqiu looked at Hua Ziliu.

“Yang Sui is back. I’ll go and greet him. I have to save face.”

“Then I will go with you.”

The Longevity Sect's sect stood alone on a solitary peak, and Su Che's escape light hadn't gone far before he encountered Hua Gu and Jin Yunu coming towards him. "Junior brother, you've worked hard."

Jin Yunu came straight over. This time she was dressed simply, but her body was surrounded by five-colored light, revealing her cultivation level of the Void Step stage.

“That scoundrel Yishan’s magic power is even greater than before. It’s already a great achievement that Junior Brother was able to escape unscathed from the attack by him and Nongyue.”

Hua Gu had reassessed Su Che's strength and said solemnly, "The sect will definitely reward you. Junior Brother, you just need to wait for good news."

The fact that these two were so easy to talk to was somewhat unexpected for Su Che.

I had originally thought that I would have a heated argument when I got back and be accused of a few crimes, but now it seems that I was overthinking it.

"I am ashamed that my campaign has failed."

Su Che feigned a resentful expression: "It's a pity that my magic weapon is not yet complete. I will go back and cultivate in seclusion for a few days to refine the magic weapon again, and then I will settle the score with that scoundrel Yishan."

"There's no need for you to worry, Junior Brother. In a few days, when Master comes out of seclusion, he will naturally wipe them out. Besides, Daoist Liaokong has already taken Yu Wangji away."

Hua Gu pondered for a moment and said, "I will also go and support the two of them later."

Three Bu Xu appeared together?

Su Che looked at Hua Gu. Among the eight sect leaders of the Changsheng Sect, this one had the highest cultivation. If Hua Gu couldn't take him down, then the Changsheng Sect could only hope that the Demon Lord in Hemp Robes would take action himself.

"Then I wish you great success, senior sister."

Su Che said, half-jokingly.

"I'll go as well."

A slight smile appeared on Jin Yunu's lips.

"When a lion hunts a rabbit, it must use its full strength. This time, we must make those two from the Black Blood Cult know the power of our Longevity Cult. But junior brother, you should hurry back. Hua Ziliu and the others are coming to welcome you."

Four people against two, the Longevity Sect is really weak.

"Then I'll just wait for the good news."

After bidding farewell to Hua Gu and Jin Yunu, Su Che bumped into Hua Ziliu and Helian Qianqiu on his way back, and they exchanged pleasantries once again.

Of course, neither of them intended to go to the Kingdom of Guzhu, though their reasons were quite plausible.

The sect's most important territory cannot be lost; the two of them must take charge of the overall situation within the sect.

It's hard to imagine what kind of trouble the Longevity Sect could possibly cause, given that it theoretically has a Grandmaster of the Law of Robbery in charge and is openly guarded by a Demon Lord in Hemp Robes.

However, none of that mattered. After greeting the two, Su Che returned directly to the Lingyu Palace and continued to verify the combination between the Great Sun Fire Essence and the Great Sun Nine Profound True Method.

While we're at it, let's give Lü Zheng a little training, since he's just come out of his defeat.

However, Sun Chengjiu soon brought news, which came two days after Su Che's return.

"What did you say? The Bone-Painting Technique has failed?"

The news that came back was truly shocking.

Indeed, the Longevity Sect, which had fielded four chief leaders, was defeated, and defeated quite thoroughly.

According to Sun Cheng, Hua Gu and the other three arrived in two groups. The first to arrive were Liao Kong Dao Ren and Yu Wang Ji, who were severely injured as soon as they entered the arena.

With a devastating slash, Yishan struck, severely injuring Yu Wangji, while Liaokong Daoren was instantly put at a disadvantage.

If it weren't for the fact that Liaokong Daoren possessed a magical artifact that he had refined to an extreme level, he would have met the same fate as Yu Wangji.

By the time Hua Gu arrived, the two of them were already on the verge of collapse when they faced a mountain-moving opponent.

Hua Gu naturally possessed skill and directly confronted Yi Shan, while Jin Yunu cooperated from the side, and immediately turned the tide.

Once Nongyue also makes her move, the Changsheng Sect will only face utter defeat.

This illusionist was so skilled that he immediately severely injured Kong Daoren and also suppressed Jin Yunu so much that she couldn't lift her head. The balance of power was thus turned around again.

Su Che took out a fire pearl from the alchemy furnace and, upon hearing Sun Cheng's description, immediately sensed something was wrong.

Plans can't keep up with changes. Could it be that I'm actually the most ruthless character in the Eternal Life Cult now?

I hope the Black Blood Cult won't come knocking on our door at this time.

Damn it, he really did turn stock speculation into a shareholder and prostitution into a husband.
