Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 282 The Wolf King is guilty, Wu Dan is cowardly.

"Fellow Daoist Gangjing, Fellow Daoist Baijiao, did that three gray-backed wolf king bully you?"

"The hatred runs deep! This wolf king used to lead his tribe to bully my pig and sheep tribes. With them around, very few of my pig and sheep demons have survived for more than ten years!" the Gangjing Pig King said angrily.

The White Horned Demon King swung his ram horns and said, "It's all in the past. Now that we're following our fellow human cultivators, we no longer have to suffer from the bullying of this wolf king. It had the ability to bully us, but when it encountered Fellow Daoist Su, the Tiger King, it obediently gave way, its wolf waist almost bowing to the ground!"

"Oh, since you two fellow Daoists have come with me, it's fine that I haven't encountered the Wolf King who has been bullying you for so long. But now that I have, I must avenge you two!"

"Fellow Daoist Su, there's no need for that. Fellow Daoists of the human race have important matters to attend to! There's no need to waste your time on such a trivial matter as ours!"

"Since you two fellow Daoists are now our companions, your affairs are our affairs, and your enemies are our enemies!"

"Have you human cultivators always been this loyal?"

"It's always like this!"

As they spoke, the Tiger King led his demons to the three gray-backed wolf king.

Upon seeing this, the gray-backed wolf kings trembled with fear.

The three brothers were born of the same mother and successively advanced to the second-tier demon king.

The three brothers, working together, used to bully their parents and commit all sorts of evil deeds on the outskirts of the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range, living a carefree and happy life.

But ever since the news of that damned Nascent Soul Cave came out, there have been ferocious cultivators outside Hundred Beasts Mountain, and powerful demons from within Hundred Beasts Mountain have been surging towards the outer perimeter.

As a result of this drastic change in the ecological niche, the three wolf brothers, who were originally at the top of the food chain, have been taught a lesson by countless high-ranking demons and third-tier demons in recent days, and have suffered terribly.

From their current perspective, this third-tier tiger king, who had returned, was also there to bully them!

Having been beaten so many times, they have become much smarter. When the Tiger King arrived, they hunched over and fawned over him, offering him a large bag of precious materials and spirit stones!

The tiger king's eyes remained unmoved, ignoring the easy opportunity offered to him.

"Why didn't you take it out just now?" The Pig King stepped forward and angrily rebuked, taking advantage of the tiger's power to show off his authority in front of the Wolf King for the first time.

The Sheep King was a bit less timid, still haunted by the memory of being bullied by the Wolf King. Even now, standing beside Su Qing, it was still somewhat hesitant and timid.

"We assumed that the Tiger King wasn't interested in these mundane things since he didn't mention them earlier," the Wolf King said with a forced smile.

"You won't give it to me if I don't mention it?" The Gangjing Pig King straightened his back, displaying excellent performance.

"I'll give it to you even if you don't mention it. I just saw that the Tiger King was in a hurry, and I was just afraid of delaying the Tiger King's time."

One of the wolf kings, sweating profusely, gave a subtle, angry glare to the powerful pig king who used to be too afraid to even breathe in its presence.

So what if you've latched onto the Tiger King? The Tiger King will leave sooner or later. You'll still be able to operate in this area in the future, so I advise you to behave yourselves and not go too far in causing trouble!
"Tiger King, it's glaring at me!" The Gangjing Pig King pointed at the Gray-backed Wolf King and said to Su Qing with a wronged expression.

"Why are you glaring at it!" Su Qinghu roared, and before it could reply, a tiger claw came down. The third-level tiger might rendered the gray-backed wolf king unable to move at all, and it could only watch helplessly as the tiger claw fell and smashed to the ground.

"Third brother!" The other wolf king cried out in grief upon seeing his brother's tragic death.

"What are you calling for again!" Su Qing lashed out with his tiger claws again, sending the wolf king to meet its third brother.

Tiger's eyes then turned to the wolf leader, whose mouth was tightly shut and who dared not make the slightest extra movement, his survival instincts running high.

Why didn't you call out?

"When the Tiger King commands me, I will obey; when the Tiger King does not command me, I will obey; whatever the Tiger King wants me to do, I will do!" The wolf demon trembled, giving the Tiger King no reason to attack him.

"Oh, so obedient?" Su Qing glanced at the white-horned sheep. "Go, slap it!"

"Who is it? It's me!" The white-horned sheep king pointed to himself, then to the wolf king. "Shall I go and fight him?"

"Brother Yang, don't hold back! Slap this little demon on the left cheek, this side is softer!"

While the sheep demon was still doubting himself, the wolf leader had already brought his wolf face close to his.

The wolf's face, so close at hand, was once the source of its midnight nightmares, but now it showed no trace of its former ferocity, only fawning and ingratiating behavior.

The moment the White Horned Demon King swung his goat hoof, he saw the bloody hoof print burst open on the wolf's face, and saw the wolf king's muscles trembling, his fangs flying out, and his face contorted in pain.

The White Horned Demon King has been elevated. It only regrets that it did not become a treacherous demon sooner, with people by its side and behind it providing support. This feeling is just too wonderful!

What the demon race couldn't give it, the human race can! What it lost in the demon race, the human race is helping it find back!
It wasn't that it wanted to commit evil; it was the demon race that forced it to.

The White Horned Sheep King suddenly went berserk. Originally somewhat afraid of the Wolf King, it attacked the Wolf King with both hands without stopping. Even the Gangjing Pig King, who was eager to try, could not find an opportunity to attack.

This wolf leader was truly formidable; even after the sheep king had beaten his wolf head into a bloody pig's head, he didn't utter a single sound.

It understands clearly and thinks things through.

Although a sheep's hoof hitting the face hurts, it's not fatal. But if the tiger king is given an excuse to attack, one swipe of its paw will send it to meet its second or third brother!

But it still wasn't quite clear, and its thoughts weren't very clear.

In this dog-eat-dog world, whether it cries out or not is really not important!

Why didn't you call out!

With a thud, the eldest wolf met his second and third brothers.

Meanwhile, the first-tier demon king beasts under the command of the three wolf king brothers were instantly devoured by the group of rogue cultivators.

With no wolf demons remaining on the field, the White Horned Sheep King was still somewhat dazed as he listened to the cultivators discussing the uses of wolf whips and wolf skins.

Looking at their sheep hooves stained with wolf blood, they could hardly believe that the wolf pack, which had tormented the pig and sheep tribes for so many years, had simply disappeared.

It's so simple that it seems all they need to do is act like a wicked demon, cast themselves to a useless master, and that useless master just happens to have a powerful beast shop partner.

Being a treacherous villain is just too good!
"gone!"

Su Qing glanced westward one last time.

His outburst just now eased his irritability and frustration caused by Lao Xie and Brother 260's warnings.

Since Brother 260 felt that life and death were uncertain everywhere, then they could go anywhere!

Just pick a direction and stride forward!

The demons set off once more.

This time, White Horn and Gang Jing, Pig King and Sheep King were exceptionally enthusiastic.

Whenever he encountered a checkpoint, he would take the initiative to gather information, determined to sell out the demon race completely and become a qualified and competent traitor.

"Brother Niu confessed. There were twenty or thirty third-tier demon kings from Hundred Beasts Mountain. Among them, the highest-ranking were a white-faced green lion king and a third-tier fire phoenix king!"

"Oh dear, fellow Daoists, what's wrong with you? Brother Niu has already confessed, why are you still trying to break his horns!"

"It's already broken, there's no going back. Seeing Brother Niu in such pain, I might as well kill him. Sigh, he was a friend before, and I, White Horn, can't bear to watch any longer. No need for beef. Well then, thanks to my fellow Daoists, Little Lamb will have a feast today!"

A second-tier limit-level Azure Ox King, who had raised himself to be strong and produced an abundance of meat, made great contributions to the cultivators both before and after his death.

From it, Su Qing and the others learned the exact location of the Nascent Soul Cave, and also learned that since the Desire Demon Sect emerged from that cave, it had been leading its demon kings and beasts to break the formation outside the cave, and the moment of breaking the formation and entering the cave was not far off.

"Most of the Desire Demon Sect's forces are gathered outside that cave, and there are also countless demons, big and small, led by the Azure Lion King and the Fire Phoenix King. We should quickly avoid such a dangerous place!"

Liang Haishun, disguised as an old tortoise, shook his head and strode off in the opposite direction from the cave. But after only a few steps, he sensed something was wrong. He turned his head and saw that all his fellow Daoists were heading towards the Nascent Soul cave!

"We can't go! That cave is full of gold and silver, and it's overflowing with wealth. With so many powerful people and demons living there, how can we possibly go?"

Liang Haishun shouted earnestly, "These fellow Daoists are still blinded and out of their minds by the treasure of the cave. They think they are all Su Qing, all the fierce tiger king. If Su Qing alone leads them, these shrimp soldiers and crab generals, to that cave to cause trouble, wouldn't they be handing themselves over to the demonic cultivators to offer the soul banner as a sacrifice and to the great demons to feast on?"
"Fellow Daoist Liang, hurry up and catch up! Brother 260 is running towards his cave!"

Helian Xian, dressed as a large butterfly with a floral headdress, waved his wings and turned back to urge his old friend to catch up.

Upon hearing this, Liang Haishun immediately turned his head and body around, his four legs flailing on the ground as if he were about to fly, and chased after the group of cultivators.

Although Liang Haishun's years of experience in running away had its unique aspects, it was nothing compared to the exceptionally talented 260th brother!
If Brother 260 felt that there was a way out at that Nascent Soul Cave, then there really was a way out!

Liang Haishun firmly believed this, as did Su Qing and other fellow Daoists.

As the cultivators drew ever closer to the Nascent Soul Cave, the blockade jointly constructed by the Desire Demon Sect and the demonic beasts became increasingly tight.

First came the third-order Illusionary Mind Formation, designed to confuse and disorient the cultivators.

But this did not stump the cultivators.

There was no need for Su Qing, Liang Haishun, or Lai Yiren to take action.

By observing the direction in which Brother 260's hamster head is turning, everyone can instantly know the correct location!
The formation appeared before their eyes and in their minds as an abyss, a mountain of knives and a sea of ​​fire.

As long as Brother 260 enters the abyss, treads on mountains of knives, and plunges into seas of fire, all the cultivators will follow him into the abyss, tread on mountains of knives, and plunge into seas of fire without batting an eye!
With the precise location of the 260th brother, the Illusionary Mind Array, which could confuse even a Golden Core cultivator, was easily passed by the cultivators.

After the formation, they encountered several more waves of powerful demons blocking their way and asking questions.

Since these demon kings were mostly transferred from the depths of the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range, the Gangjing Pig King and the White Horned Sheep King had no connection with them whatsoever, and they had no respect for them whatsoever.

But friendships aren't necessarily built on camaraderie; face is earned through ability.

After the third-tier Tiger King killed several ignorant second-tier demon kings with its two claws.

For the rest of the journey, not only were there no fearless demon kings blocking the way or questioning them, but dozens of demon kings were even subdued by the Tiger King's ferocity and wanted to follow behind him and serve him faithfully.

Having these second-tier demon kings to help is a good thing.

However, in order to ensure the purity of the group and avoid too many demons spreading rumors, Su Qing inadvertently let these demon kings see the fox tails that Tang Wanqing and the others were showing.

After they joined the group, the cultivators secretly stabbed them in the front and back with knives, cleaning them up one by one.

Having broken through the outer blockade of the demonic beasts, they entered and encountered demonic cultivators!
A Golden Core demon cultivator held a Soul Banner, exuding immense demonic power. To his left and right were dozens of Foundation Establishment demon cultivators and over a hundred Qi Refining demon cultivators.

As the last barrier blocking the inner perimeter of the cave, these demonic cultivators faithfully performed their duties, like vicious dogs guarding their homes or jackals protecting their food. Trying to bypass them and enter was out of the question!
They saw a golden-winged, black-skinned tiger, accompanied by a large and small group of colorful and miscellaneous demons, rushing towards them.

The Golden Core demon cultivator raised his eyes, and a Foundation Establishment disciple stepped forward and shouted loudly:
"Which demon kings are you, which mountain do you sit on, which true king's bowl do you drink from, which royal family's food do you eat from? Quickly report and register! Wild demons without registration are not allowed to take a single step forward, otherwise we will kill them on the spot. Don't blame us for being ruthless!"

"Registration is required? In this Hundred Beasts Mountain Range, apart from a few places like Qifeng Mountain, Lion King Ridge, Peng King Mountain, and Qilin Cave, there is no place I cannot go!"

Registration? Who the hell is registering?!

Su Qing's tiger-like eyes widened, and his demonic power condensed into a tiger shape. He bared his fangs and claws and pounced on the demonic cultivator who had spoken, scaring him so much that his face turned pale and he retreated repeatedly.

"Tiger King, calm your anger!" The Golden Core Demon Cultivator waved his Soul Banner, creating a sinister soul shadow that dragged the tiger-shaped demonic aura into the Soul Banner.

"You want to test my abilities?"

Seeing him make a move, the Tiger King became even angrier. His golden wings leaped with black light, stirring up black winds and demonic clouds. The group of demon kings and beasts behind him were also eager to try, as if they were about to start a fight with these demonic cultivators at the slightest disagreement.

Seeing this, Wu Dan also felt a pang of distress.

As a Golden Core elder of the sect, he shouldn't be here. He should be with the other elders in the closest place to that cave, waiting for it to open so they can all go in and seek benefits.

But since his lifespan was short and his strength and influence were not particularly outstanding among the elders, he was ostracized by the elders and forced to do this thankless and difficult job, like a watchdog!
Are demons capable of normal communication?

He wasn't afraid of first or second-tier demon kings, given his abilities. They would just obediently register, and if they didn't, that would be even better, as it would give him a reason to kill them and earn some money for retirement.

But this third-tier demon king is a different story.

Especially with this flammable, explosive, and quite powerful third-tier tiger king in front of them, things are even more difficult!

"Tiger King, please restrain your supernatural powers. I truly have no intention of offending you. This registration is merely a matter for our sect to control those low-level demon kings."

"A high-ranking demon like the Tiger King, a third-tier demon king, doesn't need registration. Quickly, lift the blockade and let the Tiger King pass!"

Wu Dan saw that the tiger king was about to attack at the slightest provocation. If the tiger dared to attack, he would let them go!
"You old Taoist are quite sensible. What, are you just going to let me pass?" Su Qing tilted his tiger head, his tiger eyes fixed on Wu Dan, putting pressure on him that was beyond his lifespan to bear.

"The Tiger King is fine, and so are his servants. Release them all!"

Wu Dan, who is over 800 years old, has experienced countless storms since he started cultivating. Now he just wants to settle down and start a family. He doesn't want to fall into the trap of this tiger king!

After watching the tiger and its demons leave, a Foundation Establishment disciple approached and whispered:
"Elder, why don't you fight this Tiger King? It's just a third-tier demon king. With your abilities, Elder, you shouldn't be afraid of it!"

"What makes you think I'm so capable? Judging from its aura, that tiger king is at least a high-grade third-tier beast. Even if I were to defeat it, I would inevitably suffer a severe blow to my own strength. Why bother showing off like this!"

Wu Dan had the elixir but lacked the courage to pursue the Dao. He had worked hard for so many years, but seeing no hope of achieving the Great Dao, he only wanted to enjoy himself for another two or three hundred years before dying miserably and tragically in the arms of his beautiful wives and concubines. He didn't want to die under the tiger king's claws, as that would be too unjust!
"But if there's a problem with it and it ruins the sect's important affairs, we'll probably be held responsible afterwards!"

Foundation Establishment disciples are still young and have a lot of potential. They want to make a name for themselves in the sect and don't want their careers to be tainted by such a stain.

"Has this kid lost his mind? Outside that cave, the sect leader, elders, and many demon kings are all there. This one Tiger King is not easy for me to deal with. In front of them, he's just a little cat. How much trouble can he cause!"

Seeing that even a Foundation Establishment disciple dared to question him repeatedly, Wu Dan sighed inwardly that people were becoming cold and indifferent after leaving the sect. The disciples in the sect probably all knew that he, Wu Dan, wanted to retire and return to his hometown, and was about to lose power. No, he had already lost power.

Ah well, so be it if we lose power. It's better than trying and dying!

"So this is all there is to a Golden Core demonic cultivator!"

"I, Fellow Daoist Su, am invincible!"

"Thinking back to those days, just two years ago, when I first met Fellow Daoist Su, although he was full of vigor, he was only at the Qi Refining stage. In just two years, how did he acquire the ability to treat Golden Core cultivators as nothing and to annihilate powerful enemies with a few words!"

"What else could it be? It's because he's bold and ruthless that he's amassed so many puppets, especially thanks to the third-tier armored puppet he's wearing!"

"That's not the case. Even if he gave us the puppet, we still wouldn't be able to control it. His spiritual power is ridiculously strong!"

"Even I, Niu Ya, cannot wear that third-tier armored puppet. I cannot bear its weight, and even if I could, I could not unleash its power!"

"Fellow Daoist Su himself is indeed powerful and strong!"

How did he train?

"Work tirelessly day and night; only through such effort can we achieve such success!"

The group of rogue cultivators, following behind Su Qing, were still immersed in the awe Su Qing had shown by speaking just a few words to drive away the Golden Core demon cultivators and make the demon sect cultivators obediently give way.

While praising the majestic Tiger King and the ferocious Fellow Daoist Su, Niu Ya and others who were acquainted with Su Qing in the past were also wondering how Su Qing had cultivated to such a level in just two years!
He still needs to refine the puppets! All those puppets will take up most of his time!

Even so, he was able to cultivate his divine sense to a level slightly better than that of a Golden Core cultivator, refine his physical cultivation to the peak of the second tier, and even seem to have mastered two or three exquisite Dao techniques!

"Could it be that he has extraordinary physique and is one of those rare cultivation geniuses, one in ten thousand?"

Just as the Tiger King, who was leading the way, was admiring and feeling that he could not catch up with the others, he realized that he was inferior to him.

Suddenly, a lion's roar reached the ears of all the cultivators!
"My Azure Lion Clan will one day become the ruler of all beasts, but even so, we dare not disrespect the Phoenix Clan, provided that you are truly a Fire Phoenix!"
