Chapter 255: Using His Body as Bait, Plan to Reclaim the Ten Thousand Winds Forest

Chapter 255 – Using His Body as Bait, Reclaiming the Ten Thousand Winds Forest Plan
Seeing that his path had been cut off, Shangguan Quanhong was now fuming.

Only to see him violently spew out a stream of essence blood from his mouth, which landed on top of that black demonic blade in a flash.

Buzz buzz buzz!
In an instant, the black demonic blade violently erupted into a skyrocketing blood light.

The might was at least more than twice as strong as earlier.

But it was also at this moment that Jiang Chengxuan’s Small Five-Colored Divine Light was once again cast out.

In an instant, the black demonic blade, which was still as powerful as a grandiose one, immediately lost 30% of its power.

Even Shangguan Quanhong himself, whether it was his mana or his Yuan Shen, an inexplicable weakness came from him.

Especially after he had just spewed out his essence blood.

The mana in his body nearly backflowed.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and immediately stabilized himself.

But in doing so, his only ray of hope for survival was also cut short by Jiang Chengxuan.

Elder Liu Huo and Wen Shujun, all of them are middle Jindan cultivators, for the grasp of the opportunity to fight, naturally is incomparable accuracy.

At the moment when Shangguan Quanhong’s breath slipped, the two of them immediately struck.

See a red-colored fire lotus suddenly appeared in Elder Flowing Flame’s palm, by his gentle push, it immediately shot towards Shangguan Quanhong.

Along the way, the air was immediately pulled out a long scorched black trail.

Wen Shujun was also not willing to show weakness.

She raised her jade hand.

Then, she saw an ice-orchid colored flying sword in mid-air, which was clearly carrying a morose-white cold aura, beheading Shangguan Quanhong’s head.

At the same time.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, who had rushed over, naturally weren’t idle either.

The two also struck out together.

The Gengjin Void Sword and the Five Thunders Immortal Beheading Sword, which were clearly carrying a strong and extremely murderous aura, all chopped at Shangguan Quanhong’s black demonic blade in unison, preventing it from coming back to Shangguan Quanhong’s aid.

A loud rumble was heard.

Shangguan Quanhong’s entire person was instantly sent flying across the room with chattering blood.

In the end, Elder Quicksilver sacrificed a Quicksilver Golden Needle and instantly pierced into that Shangguan Quanhong’s brow, nailing him to death in midair.

The corpse was also burnt to ashes by Elder Flowing Fire.

After killing Shangguan Quanhong, this Jindan devil cultivator, the root cause of the plague was finally solved.

The four of them opened his storage bag and found that most of it was filled with some blood pills and devil weapons used by devil cultivators, as well as a few devil techniques.

For these things, except for the magic weapons which could be melted down and the materials extracted again, the other techniques and blood pills, Jiang Chengxuan and the others couldn’t use all of them.

In the end, Jiang Chengxuan destroyed the blood pills and magic techniques that he couldn’t use.

The remaining bits and pieces of spirit medicine, as well as some spirit stones, were divided among the four of them.

The value was almost like 20,000 to 30,000 spirit stones.

Therefore, the harvest from beheading a devil cultivator, even a Jindan devil cultivator, was pitifully small.

However, demonic cultivators were extremely harmful, and once they found them, they still had to make a move to remove them, or else they might cause an incalculable catastrophe like this time.

A few days later.

Jiang Chengxuan had already utilized that Heavenly Pill Treasure Pill to completely remove the remaining plague.

When he and Shen Ruyan both, together, returned to the Jiang Clan Immortal Clan again, the couple immediately entered their respective caves to begin seclusion.

This time, both of them had more important things to do.

Jiang Chengxuan needed to utilize the Two-Yi Divine Jade that he had obtained from the Bishui Sword Pavilion to thoroughly integrate it into his Bipolar Yuanmagnetic Divine Mountain, in order to completely metamorphose the embryo of this magical treasure into a fourth-order magical treasure.

Secondly, he also needed to see if he could utilize the Pseudo Fourth Order Demon Dan and Fourth Order Demon Dan that he had obtained during the Demon Beast Rebellion to refine the Purple Heavenly Dan and the Jie Jin Dan, depending on the situation.

The former was an excellent spirit elixir for breaking through the Violet Mansion, while the latter, was the best spirit to use to break through the Jindan.

As for Shen Ruyan’s side, it was even more important to try to raise the level of her own magic treasure.

Fortunately, after the Demon Beast Rebellion that day, both husband and wife had obtained quite a few fourth-order weapon refining materials.

Plus on her side, she had also obtained the Phantom Orchid Thunder Liquid from the legacy of her previous life.

This item was even the main ingredient used to refine fourth-rank lightning attribute magic treasures.

At that time, if everything went well, there should also be quite a lot to be gained.

That’s all.

Spring went to fall, and in the blink of an eye, it was already three years later.

During these three years, Jiang Chengxuan had utilized that Two-Yi Divine Jade to successfully upgrade his Bipolar Yuanmagnetic Divine Mountain to the grade of a fourth-order magic treasure.

At the same time, he had also utilized the pseudo-fourth rank demonic pills to successfully refine two batches of Purple Heavenly Pills, obtaining a total of five Purple Heavenly Pills.

This rate of pills made Jiang Chengxuan instantly realize that he was still a small distance away from being a true fourth rank alchemist.

If he rashly opened a furnace to refine a fourth-ranked elixir, especially a fourth-ranked elixir that was very difficult to refine like the Jiejindan, there would be a very high probability of failure.

In order to ensure that he didn’t waste the fourth-order demonic pills, Jiang Chengxuan finally handed over the task of refining the Junction Gold Pill to Shen Ruyan.

And Shen Ruyan really didn’t let him down.

During the last three months of her seclusion, Shen Ruyan successfully refined a furnace of Jiejindan and obtained a total of three Jiejindan.

This news, if it was spread out, would definitely lead to the madness of countless Purple Mansion cultivators in the surrounding area.

However, they would naturally not publicize this.

Fortunately, pills such as the Junction Gold Pill and the Purple Heaven Pill, which were used to assist in great realm breakthroughs, had a shelf life of around a hundred years.

They could completely store them in the family treasury first, to see if someone would be able to use them in the future.

Of course.

If necessary, they would also take out one or two of them to exchange for the resources they themselves needed.

It could be said that the current Jiang Clan of Immortals did not lack the resources to make a breakthrough.

What was lacking was precisely the people who could use those resources.

And apart from these, this time in seclusion, Shen Ruyan had also managed to upgrade her Five Thunder Zenith Immortal Sword, to a fourth-order grade.

And she utilized that Phantom Orchid Thunder Liquid to also refine a fourth-ranked magic treasure that could be used to trap the enemy, which she named the Phantom Orchid Thunder Net.

Once offered, not only could it instantly restrict the enemy’s form, but on top of the Thunder Net, it could also erupt an extremely powerful Decanter Divine Thunder, which could be used to paralyze and attack the enemy.

Lastly, it was about the Shen Family side of the Cloud Country.

After they had been in seclusion for about five months, they finally sent a message informing them that they were willing to raise their clan to relocate to Liang Country.

Only before that, they still needed to transfer a large number of their industries.

Especially that third-order spirit vein on Mount Yuhua.

It was even more necessary to find a good buyer for it.

Fortunately, this was still relatively smooth.

About half a year ago, the Shen family’s side was already taking care of everything.

Now, they were waiting for the duo of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan to go over and lead them to Liang.

With the assets that the Shen family currently had at their disposal, wanting to purchase a third-order spirit vein within Liang Country wasn’t anything too difficult.

The real problem was precisely how they should raise their clan to relocate to Liang Country.

Such a big move would inevitably attract the attention of many people at that time.

Especially the demonic beast side.

If they got it wrong, they might find some trouble for them at that time, or even use it to attack and kill them.

Fortunately, just at this moment, Zheng Beilong of the Cloud Country’s Qianyang Sect sent a message to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan and the others.

The content was that he wanted to invite them, to help their Cloud Country, to recapture that one place in the Ten Thousand Winds Forest.

For this reason, the Jindan cultivators on the Cloud Country’s side were already contacting many fellow Jindan practitioners.

But the key to all this was precisely Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, the couple.

As everyone knew, because they had killed that Fushan Wolf King back then, it had led to the fifth-ranked demon emperors wanting to make a move against them.

This led to many fourth-order Demon Kings having some thoughts about Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, wanting to take their heads and go to the fifth-order Demon Emperor’s side to collect the reward.

Unable to do anything about it, the two of them always stayed in Liang, so even if the fourth-order Demon Kings wanted to make a move against them, they simply couldn’t find the opportunity.

The only time they went out to the Cloud Country was because they had done too well in keeping their secret, plus they were fast enough.

By the time the Fourth Order Demon Kings knew about it, they had already returned to Liang Country.

Now, Zheng Beilong was trying to use the two of them as bait to lure those Demon Kings located within the Ten Thousand Winds Forest to appear, so that they could be eliminated in one fell swoop.

As long as the fourth-ranked Demon Kings located within the Ten Thousand Winds Forest were all dealt with, then the remaining low-ranked Demon Beasts would naturally not be a cause for concern.

Recovering the Ten Thousand Winds Forest would naturally become a logical matter.

Only, if they wanted Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan to be the bait, the couple would undoubtedly have to bear great risks.

Zheng Beilong’s side, in fact, did not have much certainty that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan would agree.

At this time, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, the two of them, is already the use of hidden figure method, in the case of not alarming anyone, arrived in the cloud country, and came to the Qianyang Sect Zheng Beilong’s cave.

Seeing Zheng Beilong, both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were quite polite.

Regardless, in the past, Zheng Beilong had taken care of both of them quite a bit.

This was the grace of protecting the Dao.

This kind of favor was greater than the heavens.

The reason why Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had come here, intending to find out the specifics of the situation, instead of rejecting it out of hand in the summons, mainly stemmed from this reason as well.

At this moment, he heard Jiang Chengxuan say, “Senior Zheng, truth be told, helping the Cloud Kingdom retake the Ten Thousand Winds Forest, for your sake, my wife and I will not refuse.

However, there is a prerequisite for this matter.

We need to know the situation of all the people who will make a move at that time, as well as the intelligence of all the fourth-ranked demon kings within the Ten Thousand Winds Forest.”

Hearing this request from Jiang Chengxuan, Zheng Beilong didn’t hesitate in the slightest and immediately nodded his head in agreement:
“There’s no problem with this, I can tell you all about all the Jindan cultivators who will strike at that time.

As a matter of fact, most of those people you all know as well.

In addition to the three Jindan from our Qianyang Sect, Meng Lanzhu and Realist He Yun from the Beiyun Sect, Situ Zhan from the Starlight Sect, and Feng Wuya, who was just promoted to Jindan a few years ago, all of them will be out.

In addition, I’ve invited our Cloud Country’s Golden Dan dispersed cultivator, Daoist Yiduan.

In the end, with the two of you, the number of Jindan participants will total ten.

And as far as I know, within the Ten Thousand Winds Forest, there are currently only two Fourth Order Demon Kings.

They are our old rival, the Clear Specter Wolf King, and a fourth-ranked Ten Thousand Poisonous Fire Lizard.

Of course.

This is only their bright side.

When the news about you guys gets out, I believe that on this side of the Ten Thousand Winds Forest, there will probably be at least two to three more fourth-ranked Demon Kings descending.

As long as we do a good job of keeping it a secret at that time, those Fourth Order Demon Kings they will definitely not think that this time is actually a hunting operation targeting them.

More so, it’s a perfect opportunity for us, the Cloud Kingdom cultivators, to retake the Ten Thousand Winds Forest.”

After listening to Zheng Beilong’s words, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan each weighed them in their hearts.

They realized that if this matter was really according to what Zheng Beilong had said, and if everything went well, there was really a very high probability of success.

It was only that among those who had made a move this time, Hong Tianqi of the Qian Yang Sect, as well as Realist He Yun of the Bei Yun Sect, did not have a good relationship with them.

Between each other, there was even some suspicion in.

If they made some small moves halfway through, it was inevitable that some unforeseen circumstances would arise.

As if he could see some of the couple’s thoughts, he heard Zheng Beilong continue:

“I know that you guys have had unhappiness and animosity with Elder Hong of this Sect, as well as Realist He Yun of the Northern Cloud Sect.

Truth be told, with the two of them, I don’t have a good relationship either.

Yet, there is no need to worry too much about this point.

By the time we act, all of us will sign a blood oath contract, and whoever dares to make small moves in the action, or even intentionally drag their feet, will not only be subjected to the contract’s backlash, but also, after this matter, we will definitely pursue the matter to the end.”

Hearing Zheng Beilong say that a blood oath contract would also be signed before the operation, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, couldn’t help but both secretly nodded their heads.

The binding power of this contract for cultivators was even more effective than the Heart Demon Oath.

Once it was violated, one would encounter all sorts of very bizarre misfortunes.

So much so that your ordinary meditation and cultivation may go straight to the devil.

Only, in order to sign this kind of blood oath contract, one would need to use a very precious fourth-order contract instrument.

This kind of instrument was not available to their Jiang family and could only be provided by Zheng Beilong and his party.

Since then, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan basically had no objections to helping Zheng Beilong and the others to reclaim the Ten Thousand Winds Forest.

But since it is to help their entire cloud country to recapture the Ten Thousand Winds Forest, not Zheng Beilong personally, then the corresponding rewards, as well as the distribution after the war, naturally also need to be clear in advance.

In this matter, Jiang Chengxuan put forward three conditions.

Firstly, in the distribution of the loot after the battle, the two of them should take up 30% of it, and have the right to prioritize their selection.

Secondly, they were required to provide three copies of all types of techniques below the fourth rank, or the inheritance of the hundred arts of Immortal Cultivation.

These were things that Jiang Chengxuan naturally wanted for the current Jiang family.

After all, what the current Jiang family lacked the most was this type of inheritance.

Although in the past time, the Jiang family had gotten many similar things from outside.

But those things, ultimately, would be rather fragmented and unsystematic.

Unlike a true sect’s inheritance, it could be cultivated and learned down in a step-by-step manner.

At this, Zheng Beilong said that the problem should not be too big.

After all, what Jiang Chengxuan wanted was only the inheritance below the fourth rank, and it wasn’t the core techniques of each clan.

He, including the other two families, shouldn’t be too stingy.

As for the last condition.

It was that they were required to contribute their efforts and work with Jiang Chengxuan and the others to help the Shen family migrate smoothly to Liang.
