Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 201 Junior Brother, Help Me! Senior Brother, Take Care!

"The sect will take the lead and create forces within the Immortal City that can rival a second-tier demon king, challenging the demon king to a duel!"

"This is also a temporary measure. The three Golden Core cultivators have reached a tacit understanding that they will not personally engage in battle. Therefore, the second-tier demon kings must be dealt with by us!"

"Instead of waiting for more and more second-tier demon kings to come down from the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range, it would be better to respond to their provocations and fight them once every half month, which might weaken their strength."

"I strongly support the sect's decision, but I would never allow myself to confront the Demon King."

"There were supposed to be five battles today, and three rounds have already been fought. The Hundred Treasures Pavilion and the Yuanlai Tower have one win and one loss. The Wang family, at the cost of a Sandstone King Dog and more than ten dog-headed giants, barely managed to defeat a second-tier Ironback Bear King."

"Now it's the You family's turn to choose a demon king to fight in the fourth battle. To be honest, I don't care whether we win or lose."

"The problem is that, according to the rules, the fifth battle must be fought by a disciple of my Yunshan Sect. Senior Brother Lin lost an arm in the last battle. I am not a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so how could I possibly fight against a second-tier demon king!"

"Uncle Xiashan's decision to send my senior brother here this time has really put him in a terrible situation!"

As soon as Yuan Tianye led Su Qing into the crowd, he poured out his grievances to him.

Su Qing had some understanding of his situation.

Within the Yunshan Sect, various Golden Core cultivators and third-tier professionals have formed their own factions, and due to their conflicting interests, their relationships are far from harmonious.

Coincidentally, the Xiashan Master, who now holds absolute power in Baiyun Immortal City, is at odds with Lin Shuangmu's master.

Therefore, in matters of life-or-death struggle against a second-tier demon king, aside from always sending rogue cultivators whose lives are as worthless as grass, it is quite normal for the Yunshan Sect to choose to send Lin Shuangmu and Yuan Tianye to test the waters.

"Senior brother, don't panic. Although I am no longer a member of the sect, I shouldn't overstep my bounds and steal your opportunity to make contributions for the sect."

But all the puppets that Junior Brother brought, as long as Senior Brother can hold them off, can be borrowed!

Su Qing had long been aware of the current situation.

He was secretly annoyed that he was late. If he hadn't been delayed by those little demons, he might have made it to the third or fourth round. But he ended up making it to the fifth round!

According to the information he obtained from Qinghe, these second-tier demon kings usually sent ordinary demon kings to fight against rogue cultivators.

However, those who faced the Yunshan Sect were at least mid-grade second-tier demon kings, or even high-grade second-tier demon kings!
Lin Shuangmu, as a true disciple of Yunshan, is a Foundation Establishment warrior cultivator with superb Taoist skills and numerous magical artifacts. His hardware and software are far superior to those of ordinary Foundation Establishment rogue cultivators, and his strength is comparable to that of Xu Huaiyi.

Even such a formidable figure nearly suffered a crushing defeat last time. If it weren't for his hidden dagger, which allowed him to achieve a surprising victory, the loss might have been far more than just losing an arm.

Knowing how terrifying the fifth battle would be, Su Qing, despite her craving for the beast core and her heartache for her senior brother, was unwilling to personally take the field.

Sending some puppets to assist his senior brother was already the maximum support he could offer.

Upon hearing Su Qing's words, Yuan Tianye showed a slight disappointment on his face.

Although I wanted to say that at this juncture, we shouldn't care about the distinction between outer and inner sects, or between direct and true disciples. If the junior brother has done this on behalf of the senior brother, it's fine for you to do it even if you are a true disciple.

But that was somewhat shameless, and even someone as thick-skinned as Hara Tenno wouldn't say it.

He reluctantly took out two spirit stones from his storage bag.

Seeing this, Su Qing looked at Senior Brother Yuan with a hint of sympathy.

Two spirit stones would be enough to rent one Explosive Hammer War Bear and six Heavy Cavalry Lizards from him at most.

He certainly didn't think that Yuan Tianye only had this much wealth. It was obvious that his spiritual power was limited, and at his full strength, he could only control these few puppets.

"Alas, Junior Brother feared that Senior Brother would be outnumbered and outmatched, so he worked through the night to make so many puppets, just in case Senior Brother didn't have enough. But I never expected..." Su Qing sighed and shook his head.

Yuan Tianye also sighed and shook his head: "Junior brother has enough puppets, but in the end, it's senior brother who's useless!"

Now I only hope that the various banners and flags I've prepared, using up all my family's wealth, will help me escape this calamity!

Seeing Yuan Tianye's fearful appearance before the battle even began, Su Qing thought that this senior brother Yuan was likely in grave danger.

While pondering how to get in touch with the people on Xia Mountain in the future, he quickly slipped into the Rat King's team to prevent his former senior brother from making such a shameless request to do his bidding.

Compared to the Yunshan Sect disciples led by Yuan Tianye, Su Qing felt much more at ease and comfortable in the Rat King team.

As soon as he arrived, Niu Ya, who was carrying the golden wolf king's head, put his arm around his sister-in-law and greeted him.

"Just now, the team that those demon brats were sent to guard the perimeter was completely wiped out, which enraged those demon kings. I was wondering who had such ability, but I never expected it to be Fellow Daoist Su's doing!"

Niu Ya admired capable people the most in his life, and Su Qing, who trained his legs and head, was clearly among them.

With his deliberate efforts to befriend them, and Su Qing's intention to associate with the Rat King team, the two sides maintained a good relationship.

For example, now, thanks to Su Qing's matchmaking, Liang Haishun has twice followed the Rat King team in battles.

The flag-planting body cultivators displayed great prowess when they challenged the demon kings last time. However, their performance was only impressive last time. This time, none of the ordinary demon kings challenged the Rat King team.

"My humble skills are nothing compared to Fellow Daoist Niu Ya," Su Qing said modestly, cupping his hands in greeting.

There wasn't much to talk about with Niu Ya, this body cultivation fanatic. Even his most talkative sister-in-law didn't dare to chat much with him in the presence of Niu Ya and Niu Shisan.

After exchanging only a few pleasantries, he was pulled aside by Liang Haishun.

"Asu, why are you so late? You missed the easy demon king and the Wang family got the benefit for nothing."

This fifth match is going to be tough. No matter how good your relationship is with that former senior brother, don't overconfident!

Liang Haishun was hired by the Rat King's team to hide in the back and plant flags to support them. He had already seen the battle between the demonic beasts and the White Cloud Immortal City very clearly.

For the superior demon beasts and the Yunshan Sect.

The lives of ordinary demon kings and rogue cultivators are not worth mentioning.

Ordinary demon kings and rogue cultivators were well aware of this.

Everyone tacitly agreed to fight soldier against soldier, general against general.

Ordinary demon kings know their own limitations and only dare to test the strength of rogue cultivators.

The independent cultivators understand their own strength and weakness, and can only assess the strength of ordinary demon kings.

Therefore, if Su Qing wants to kill the demon king and gain merit, it is best to participate in the first four battles.

This fifth match is a fierce battle between the true disciples of Yunshan Sect and a high-ranking demon king. If you rashly intervene, you will not only fail to gain any advantage, but you may also die and perish if you are not careful. Wouldn't that be a great injustice?
