Chapter 923 Slaying the Dragon and Obtaining the Pearl: A Common Thing (Part 2)
Su Che really wanted to tell Ye Yin that Nong Yue and he really had no grudge against each other.

Unfortunately, it cannot be said.

Black Blood Demon was originally just a mortal. Later, he had a fortuitous encounter and obtained a fragment of the ancient demonic sect's secret manual, "Blood Scripture." He then went north to the Northern Wilderness to complete the inheritance and attained the fruit of immortality.

They headed south to establish their sect, which led to a conflict with the Longevity Sect. The two sides fought each other for many years. In the context of the entire Southern Wilderness Demonic Sect, the enmity between the Black Blood Secret Sect and the Longevity Sect was like a child's fight.

They can't even get a spot.

As for Nongyue, she was just an ordinary Bu Xu in Su Che's mind.

Young Master Su is a man of refined taste and high moral character. He can even have a cup of tea with Ye Yin from Bailudong. The matter of Nongyue is nothing to him.

The Black Blood Cult simply attacked the Longevity Cult's sect, killing a large number of disciples, and launching sneak attacks whenever they felt like it.

But what does this have to do with me, Huang Tiandao?
Since we were born in the Southern Wilderness, we couldn't escape this kind of dog-eat-dog mess.

If there is no Black Blood Cult, there is still the White Blood Cult. Taking a step back opens up a vast expanse, and patience brings peace.

The world shouldn't have so much fighting and killing.

"Back in the Kingdom of Wuzhong, I slapped her with my sword. I never expected that this wicked beast would dare to show herself again."

Su Che spoke casually.

"Fellow Daoist, have you ever heard of the Ironback King?"

"I've heard he's a demon king from the Hundred Thousand Mountains. He achieved the Void Step technique a few years ago and attained the body of a dragon. Now he's established a kingdom in the mountains. What do you think?"

"Now Nongyue is working as an instructor under the Ironback Demon King."

Ye Yin gently stroked his beard.

"The current unrest in the northern border is probably caused by her stirring up trouble behind the scenes."

"He's just asking for trouble."

Su Che gave a cold laugh, but in reality he was quite indifferent.

indeed.

The Ten Thousand Mountains have not been peaceful lately, with demons frequently running south, causing unrest throughout the Wuzhong Kingdom. Dugu Ba has been sending envoys to ask for help almost every few days.

Of course, Su Che didn't think that Dugu Ba really needed help. The people of Wuzhong Kingdom were now mostly growing various medicinal herbs near the capital. Apart from a few military camps built by scouts, there was no human habitation in the north.

Dugu Ba was probably just trying to make his presence felt by taking this opportunity.

"Don't even mention Nongyue, even her teacher, the Black Blood Demon, was defeated by me. Ironback Demon King is so ungrateful that he dares to take her in as an instructor in the north. He really doesn't know what's good for him."

Su Che sneered, "I think his time as the Demon King is over."

"Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but there is someone else behind the Ironback Demon King. Do you know about the chaotic events that happened in the Central Plains back then?"

"Oh?"

"This matter is still related to that Su, the wandering official of Huang Tiandao. This man is truly the ringleader of chaos in the world. Back then, he stirred up trouble in Cizhou, shattering the Yin-Yang Realm, which eventually attracted the Buddhist sect to enter and allowed an ancient evil dragon to escape..."

Your White Deer Cave is truly worthless, trying to throw such filth at me. I wasn't even a Rejuvenating Pill back then, yet I managed to shatter the Yin-Yang Realm.

Su Che suppressed his anger, knowing that this was a consistent explanation used by Bailudong.

"and then?"

"The evil dragon has returned to the East Sea and is secretly building up its power. It is said that the Dongting and Qiantang families have now submitted to its power. This Iron-Backed Demon King, who is proud of his dragon lineage, is no exception."

"Could it be the one who was born from the ancient demon god?"

"It is that one."

"How can Xuandu Palace just ignore such a vile creature emerging from the mountains?"

"After all, it was released by their Xuanmen, so it wouldn't be good to make Huang Tiandao look too bad. Perhaps it was a conspiracy between the two families, and the man surnamed Su was just a prelude."

Hey, your wording actually makes a lot of sense.

"I have come here to deliver a message. As for how your sect will handle this, my sect leader has given instructions that if the sect leader intends to deal with the Ironback Demon King, White Deer Cave is willing to provide support."

As Ye Yin spoke, he took something out of his sleeve. Su Che exclaimed in surprise upon seeing it.

"Blood ointment?"

Bailudong Cave certainly invested heavily.

The Jade Blood Scroll is a rare treasure of the Martial Confucian lineage. It is a scroll written by a Martial Confucian with the life essence blood of a cultivator who is close to the level of a Longevity Immortal. If it falls into the hands of a later generation of the Martial Confucian lineage, they can use it to comprehend the martial arts and wonders left behind by their predecessors.

In the hands of other cultivators, it would also be an extremely powerful magical artifact, capable of summoning so-called martial arts spirits to become their helpers, equivalent to having a Void Martial Scholar come to assist them for a short while.

At the same time, if magical power is injected into it, nearby martial arts scholars of the same lineage will feel it.

So it's hard to say whether this thing is good or bad.

After all, falling into the hands of others is tantamount to revealing one's whereabouts, and it's hard to say whether they will be allies or enemies.

"If the sect leader intends to deal with the Ironback Demon King, our sect will do its utmost to support him. This letter is our token."

"I am truly unworthy of your esteemed family's hospitality."

Su Che looked at the Bloodstained Letter, unable to fathom the White Deer Cave's true intentions, but ultimately accepted it.

After bidding farewell to Ye Yin, Su Che summoned all the Golden Core cultivators in the Longevity Sect. The Demon Lord in Hemp Robes, now a Supreme Elder of the Longevity Sect, had already gone to the North Pole Yuan Palace to cultivate his demonic arts. Wuyoutian also left with him. Apart from Jin Yunu, Su Che had the highest cultivation level in the entire Longevity Sect.

Jin Yunu was in an even more awkward position. Although the Demon Lord in hemp robes had restored her status as a disciple of the sect, she now held no official title. She was too busy fawning over Su Che to become any obstacle to the Third Young Master Su.

Since the evil dragon has spread its influence in the Ten Thousand Mountains and the White Deer Cave is located in the center, Su Che felt that he had no choice but to go there.

So a plan was set: the others would guard their posts and continue to complete the established plan step by step, while Su Che would take Jin Yunu to the Ten Thousand Mountains to see what the Iron-Backed Dragon King was up to.

Su Che's current position in the Longevity Sect is so powerful that his words carry immense weight. The policies he sets must be respectfully followed by everyone without any objection.

They rode the wind together, following the mountain path of the Ten Thousand Mountains. They observed the mountain range's contours and chatted as they went.

"Junior Brother's cultivation level today is beyond my reach."

Jin Yunu looked at Yang Sui's profile and was momentarily dazed.

"It's also my fault for being too late in making a mistake and believing the words of that villain Hua Gu. Otherwise, I could be a loving couple with my junior brother now, and the Longevity Sect would be under our control."

"Senior sister is always joking. Isn't the Longevity Sect now under our control? Besides, it's never too late to become a loving couple."

Jin Yunu smiled slyly.

How could she not know that although the meaning of Yang Sui's words was the same, the roles of host and guest had been reversed, and she was now only in a subordinate position, no longer on equal footing with him?

Moreover, she knew that her status was far from being equal to that of her junior brother, the sect leader, so she simply humbled herself, holding one of Su Che's hands and kneeling on the ground.

"Master, it was all my sister's fault in the past. From now on, you can just give me your orders, and I will obey without hesitation."

"A beauty like Senior Sister deserves to be cherished. Even if we have to order her around, we should choose the right place."

Su Che pulled him up.

"There is a strong aura of blood ahead. Senior sister, let's go take a look."

Within the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the mountain ranges crisscross, nurturing countless spiritual creatures, and even harboring demon cultivators who cannot find refuge in the Central Plains.

There was a heretical cultivator named Qing Shi Dao Ren, who possessed a supposedly ancient inheritance that involved cultivating Yin and Yang and raising zombies—an evil supernatural power.

In Daliang, he was arrested by the Jingye Division for raping a woman. The imperial guards pursued him relentlessly until he had nowhere to hide, so he headed south into the Ten Thousand Mountains.

While cleaning up the Dong villages inhabited by the mountain barbarians, he also fought against various demons, which allowed him to refine a Nine Yin Corpse Pill, achieve the cultivation of the Rejuvenating Pill, and raise a powerful flying yaksha under his command.

They finally gained a foothold, interacted with the surrounding monsters, built a village in the mountains, and lived the life of a local tyrant who was powerful and self-governing.

So carefree and unrestrained, they don't care about the deep-seated hatred they had for the Great Liang Dynasty. For people like them, cultivation is only for pleasure. Now that they have barbarian women to enter their lives, they eat meat and drink wine to their hearts' content...

With such good days, who cares about the state of the Great Liang?
But fate was against him; these past few days, several cultivators from Daliang had been causing him trouble.

This story begins with a giant python that had grown powerful.
