Chapter 139 Before the Formation
The cultivators of the Demonic Sect were naturally dissatisfied with Mu Shan's instructions.
Especially the Demonic Taoist and the Desolate Skull Walker, their faces flashed with a gloomy expression.
Clearly, each had their own calculations.
"Wilderness, once we enter the formation, we must give each other our full support. Mu Shan and we are not of the same ilk. To obtain this opportunity, we must rely on ourselves."
The Demonic Taoist lowered his eyes and secretly communicated with the Desolate Skull Walker.
The Skeleton Walker remained expressionless, tapping his knuckles.
The Chaotic Demon Taoist understood that the Desolate Skull was somewhat tempted.
The jade talisman clearly states that whoever can hold out until the end and obtain more jade talismans from others will reap greater benefits.
If one can rank first among all cultivators, one will be able to obtain the inheritance of Daoist Qingmu.
How could the desolate skeleton not be tempted?
Sure enough, the next moment.
The message from the Desolate Skull arrived as expected:
"Luanmo, our friendship has lasted for over seventy years, so cooperation is naturally a possibility. I have long disliked Mushan, but unfortunately, he is valued by several True Immortals and is a Foundation Establishment seed chosen by them..."
"Therefore, this secret realm is the best place to make a move."
The Chaotic Demon Daoist remained calm and composed, his voice transmission carrying a hint of coldness, decisively dispelling the Desolate Skull's hesitation with his words.
"This secret realm is isolated from heaven and earth, and no true cultivator can explore it. Even if Mu Shan dies here, none of you true cultivators will know. Once we succeed, not only will we be able to swallow the legacy of Daoist Qingmu, but we will also gain control of the entire Great Qing Kingdom."
"Our sect and the Yunxia Sect still agree that no more Foundation Establishment cultivators will be sent from the two countries. If we really eliminate Mu Shan, the resources offered by the Great Qing Kingdom alone will increase our chances of reaching Foundation Establishment."
The desolate skull nodded slightly, acknowledging that everything the chaotic demon said was true.
Thinking of the potential benefits, the legacy of Daoist Qingmu, and the resources of the two countries... a burning desire rose in his heart.
However, he was not blinded by desire.
"Chaos Demon, yes, you are right. If we can eliminate Mu Shan, we will surely be able to replace him and obtain a great opportunity."
"If he can gain the attention of a true master, why can't we? Once we achieve great feats in both countries, it's not impossible for us to attain his current status."
"But we are all members of the demonic path, and we have known each other for seventy or eighty years. Therefore, we know each other very well. How can I be sure that you will share the inheritance of Daoist Qingmu with me after you have obtained it? How can I know that you will not secretly kill me after you have used me to deal with Mu Shan, and then abandon me after you have served your purpose?"
"Indeed, Desolate Skull, we are both members of the demonic path, and we are well aware of the principles of mutual scheming. However, in this Azure Wood Secret Realm, we have absolutely no reason to scheme against each other."
The Demon couldn't help but smile. If the Desolate Skull Walker had agreed directly, he might have had doubts and wondered if the Desolate Skull had other plans.
But the fact that he could raise doubts shows that he had already fully agreed with his own ideas and had not prepared any means of betrayal.
The Demonic Taoist continued to transmit his voice:
"Once we enter the formation, we will be separated into four directions. That will be the perfect opportunity for us to establish a connection and open our hearts to each other. Your doubts are also my doubts."
"However, I had already prepared a blood pact talisman before entering this Green Wood Secret Realm. As long as you and I use our blood essence as a guide to make a vow of the Great Dao, there is no need to worry about betrayal between us."
"This is as you said."
Without further doubt, the Skeleton Walker immediately transmitted his voice.
"Excellent! With your help, we will surely be able to seize this opportunity."
Hearing the Wild Skull express its stance, the Chaotic Demon was overjoyed.
"Of course, we must also carefully choose the time to make our move. Mu Shan wants us to gather together to eliminate the threats from the righteous path and rogue cultivators, but this is also our opportunity."
"It won't be easy for us to deal with Niu Gao alone, along with those few rogue cultivators. Our best option and the best opportunity would be to use Mu Shan to eliminate this threat first, and then betray him!"
The desolate skeleton nodded again. Just as he was about to say something, the teleportation array in front of him was activated.
The two figures disappeared completely into the formation, only managing to exchange a glance before leaving.
We need to wait until we all reunite before we can make any further plans.
As the leader of the demonic path, Mu Shan was naturally the last to enter.
The two, Desolate Skull and Chaotic Demon, believed their scheme was flawless.
Little did they know, Mu Shan had already noticed their flirtatious glances.
"If I remember correctly, before entering the Azure Wood Secret Realm, or even before arriving in the land of the two countries, the Chaotic Demon purchased a Blood Pact Talisman. The Blood Pact Talisman is a second-tier talisman, which can only be refined by a Foundation Establishment True Person."
"He is willing to spend a lot of money to buy it, so he must have some ulterior motive. But he has been in this land of two countries for so long, yet he has not spoken to me. Now he is exchanging glances with Huanglou, so there must be something sordid between them."
"Hmph!" Mu Shan snorted coldly, a murderous glint appearing in his eyes.
Because of his high level of cultivation, these two people were always respectful to him on the surface, but because he came from the Yunxia Sect and was not a disciple of the evil demonic sect, they often conspired together to oppose his orders.
Over the years, he has undoubtedly reaped countless benefits in both countries.
He wanted to attack him, but didn't he wait for this opportunity?
Moreover, the two of them thought that by colluding with each other, they could take advantage of him.
Little did they know, he had already prepared his own methods.
As Mu Shan's figure was about to disappear into the teleportation array, he clenched his index finger and thumb together several times before leaving.
A figure standing among the righteous people suddenly had a thought.
However, Mu Shan's communication with this person was clearly much more sophisticated than that between Luan Mo and Huang Lou.
Therefore, Niu Gao did not notice it.
Mu Shan's figure disappeared.
Upon Niu Gao's order, the righteous people quickly set off.
Their cultivation levels were slightly lower than those of the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Demonic Sect, and their relationships with each other were also average. Without the right opportunity, they did not have the means to deal with Mu Shan and Niu Gao on their own. Therefore, they did not form a connection with each other like the Chaotic Demon Daoist.
The group disappeared quickly.
At this point, only Lu Qingyun, Bai Tianxiong, and Bai Yuechan remained who had not yet entered.
Bai Tianxiong smiled. He and Lu Qingyun had little interaction in Pingyang Market, and Lu Qingyun's magical power was now far greater than his, so Bai Tianxiong did not recognize Lu Qingyun at all.
"Fellow Daoist, this is my token. Right now, the righteous path and the demonic path are all united. The Ku'e Monk and the Great Red Daoist have known each other for a long time. Therefore, if we want to obtain opportunities, we will have to cooperate with each other."
Bai Tianxiong tried to win him over.
"I am willing to make a vow here that if you are willing to enter the formation and find me to protect you, I will definitely stay with you in the secret realm and never take the initiative to attack you."
"If you disobey, your cultivation in this life will be halted at the half-step Foundation Establishment stage, unable to advance an inch. At the same time, you will suffer the heart-devouring pain of ten thousand demons during the Foundation Establishment Heart Demon Tribulation, resulting in utter failure. What do you think, fellow Daoist?"
Bai Tianxiong spoke very sincerely. Although he did not treat Bai Yuechan as a human being, his words were heartfelt and he was willing to risk his life.
A glint flashed in Lu Qingyun's eyes.
He naturally didn't completely believe Bai Tianxiong's words, and even vaguely felt that something was wrong.
However, now is not the time to think about what's wrong with him. Instead, we should play along with Bai Tianxiong and maybe we can find an opportunity to make a move.
"Fellow Daoist, are you seeking my protection? Perhaps you are injured and need to recover? I happen to have quite a few medicinal pills here."
"No, it's just that I have a method to enhance my supernatural abilities, but I need some preparation time."
Bai Tianxiong laughed heartily, waved his hand to thank him, and then deliberately used his supernatural powers as an excuse to keep everyone in suspense.
Lu Qingyun nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Seeing that Lu Qingyun was about to agree.
Bai Tianxiong's old eyes crinkled with laughter, his joy barely contained, and his figure became noticeably more upright than before.
"Good lad, you've fallen into my trap so easily, saving me a lot of trouble. Once I've accomplished my goal, I'll make sure you leave with a whole corpse."
The younger generation is still too young!
Yes, Bai Tianxiong had absolutely no intention of keeping his promise.
Once he enters the formation, he will be able to find a spiritual spot to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Once he achieves the Foundation Establishment True Person status, his previous vows of Dao will naturally contradict each other and collapse on their own.
Why worry about stopping at the half-step Foundation Establishment stage? Why worry about suffering the inner demons during the Foundation Establishment stage?
