Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2382 3 Kongshan

"See you later!"

Chi Lian looked at Qin Sang deeply, and only took the old monkey away, leaving all of the old monkey's subordinates behind.

This was Qin Sang's request. Half of the old monkey's subordinates were tiger monsters and half were monkey monsters. The key point was that their life stories were as "innocent" as the old monkey's.

Qin Sang left these demon cultivators behind for use.

"Great... King."

A horse-monkey demon general led all the demons and knelt on the ground in front of Qin Sang.

The voice of the Monkey Demon General trembled a little.

In Liandu Lake, it is not uncommon for demon kings to fight against each other, and it is common for the victor to incorporate the forces of the loser, but the fate of their cronies is unpredictable.

If you encounter a magnanimous demon king, you can spare their lives. If you encounter a vicious one, you will kill it on the spot to prevent future troubles.

"I am not your king," Qin Sang's words made the demons' hearts tremble, "You will know who the king is in the future, now let go of your worries."

Seeing the hope of survival, the demons hurriedly relaxed their minds.

In Liandu Lake, trust is a luxury. Except for a few close confidants, the Demon King controls his demon soldiers and generals mostly by this method, so they have no rejection at all.

Qin Sang wiped off the old monkey's mark, leaving his own restrictions, and ordered: "Now divide into several teams..."

The monsters immediately obeyed the order and scattered.

Before, they did not dare to cross the border easily without the permission of the Demon King.

Now that the situation has changed drastically, the demon kings who joined the Alliance of Four Kings are likely to suffer heavy losses. In the territories of the Four Kings, the strong men of the demon king level have been almost wiped out.

The cultivation levels of these monkey monsters and tiger monsters are all at the Spirit Transformation Stage. They are a team carefully selected by the old monkey. Each of them is quite powerful and is perfect for gathering information.

Qin Sang wanted to know whether the two demon saints intervened in the battle just now, or were they just passing by, causing the four kings to suffer an unexpected disaster.

In addition, the four kings' territories are leaderless, which is a good opportunity to recruit demon soldiers and expand the territory.

If Qin Sang wants to stay here, he cannot rely solely on Wuxianzhai as a channel, but must build his own power in Liandu Lake.

Thinking of Wuxianzhai, Qin Sang looked in the direction where Chi Lian left.

Except for a few sarcastic remarks from Chi Lian when they first met, he and Chi Lian tacitly agreed not to mention the matter of Shilong Mountain again.

Regardless of whether this woman has let go of her grudge in her heart, it is enough to maintain harmony on the surface. As long as Chi Lian does not turn against him, Qin Sang will not take the initiative to cut off his ties with Wuxianzhai.

With all sorts of calculations in mind, Qin Sang turned away and went to investigate in person.

The territories of the Four Kings are extremely vast, and each of them is far beyond the reach of Qingyangzhi. Qin Sang personally led the monsters to inquire everywhere and gained a clear understanding of the Four Kings and the forces under their command.

Their respective territories are not much different and are closely connected, just like cutting a big cake into four pieces horizontally and vertically. The territory of King Hunhe is located in the north, and the power of King Fu is located in the east... The place where the four kings will meet is at the junction of the four kings' territories.

The four kings all had demon kings under their command, forming four forces that could not be ignored. Their strengths varied, but none of them could easily destroy other opponents. They formed alliances and checked each other, and when they encountered outsiders, they would unite to face the outsiders, so they were extremely stable, and this situation had been formed ten thousand years ago.

Who could have thought that the four top warriors who had been entrenched in the Liandu Lake for tens of thousands of years would be destroyed overnight?

Qin Sang couldn't help but sigh every time he thought about it.

Now, the previous situation has been completely broken. After inquiring from many parties, Qin Sang can basically confirm that the four kings are missing and the demon kings under their command have also suffered heavy losses.

According to common sense, the surviving demon kings, faced with this rare power vacuum, should quickly gather their demon soldiers and expand their power, but none of them did so. Perhaps they were frightened, or they were just waiting and watching.

As the news gradually spread, an atmosphere of terror was spreading. The demon cultivators were in a state of panic, and countless of them fled the territories of the Four Kings.

On a deserted island in the swamp.

The horse monkey demon came with the wind, landed on the edge of the island, and hurried into the jungle.

There was a clear spring in the middle of the dense forest. Seeing the figure beside the spring, the horse-monkey demon general prostrated himself and said, "My lord, I have learned that the Sankong demon king has indeed returned."

Qin Sang opened his eyes, "The Three Kongs Demon King is in the cave?"

"My lord, please forgive me. I am incompetent and have not found out the whereabouts of the Three Kongs Demon King, but I have found the locations of its cave and several other mansions," the Monkey Demon King presented a jade slip.

Qin Sang took the jade slip and waved his hand, "You can go down."

"Yes!"

The monkey demon will bow and leave the jungle.

After reading the jade slip, Qin Sang stood up and said with a smile: "Yuan Jun, it seems that you have found a place for your physical body."

A slightly transparent figure appeared beside him. It was Meishan Yuanjun. He bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern, fellow Taoist."

They flew up and left the deserted island. After flying eastward for a while, they saw a mountain range that looked like a sleeping dragon stretching in front of them. The mountain had strange peaks and steep cliffs and endless scenery. It was a beautiful place.

The Sankong Demon King they were targeting was under the command of King Fu. Qin Sang had witnessed King Fu's misfortune with his own eyes, so he had no scruples.

There are two purposes in dealing with the Three Kong Demon Kings.

One of them is the Sankong Demon King, who is a spiritual deer that has achieved enlightenment. His bloodline is similar to that of Meishan Yuanjun, so he can be a target for Meishan Yuanjun to possess.

Secondly, if Meishan Yuanjun takes his place, he can use this as a foundation and take root in the Liandu Lake.

After the demise of the Four Kings, countless eyes were watching this place. The sudden appearance of an outsider would attract too much attention, so letting Meishan Yuanjun transform into the Three Kong Demon King would be able to conceal his tracks.

Meishan Yuanjun looked at the mountain range, with an earnest look in his eyes, "Is the cave of the Three Kongs Demon King in this mountain?"

Qin Sang nodded: "Yes, although this guy sent a lot of troops to garrison in the other house, in my opinion, it is all to confuse the sight. Unless this guy has already escaped, he must be in the cave!"

"The situation is chaotic. This monster must have made various preparations. I'm afraid a forceful attack would not be appropriate," Meishan Yuanjun said worriedly.

"Fellow Daoist, just look at my methods."

Qin Sang looked confident, hid his figure and flew towards the main peak of the mountain.

The main peak and the surrounding peaks are filled with demonic energy and white fog. The veins here are interconnected, forming a formation that makes it impossible for outsiders to see inside. Moreover, there are demon soldiers like forests inside and outside the formation, patrolling day and night, and the defense is extremely strict.

Qin Sang arrived in front of the formation and passed by several teams of demon soldiers. None of them could detect his trace.

Wake up the Tianmu Butterfly and use its divine eyes to observe. Most of the demon soldiers in the fog are deer demons, with visible and hidden sentries, making it impenetrable.

However, the demon soldiers were not a problem. Qin Sang looked at a direction and recalled the feeling when he had forcibly taken the black lotus in the earth abyss. His mind and the Tianmu Butterfly merged into one, and his body turned into a mysterious divine light, blending silently into the white mist.

On the mountain ridge, a fully armed demon soldier glanced over here, rubbed his eyes, and finally shook his head and continued to patrol elsewhere.

After a while, Qin Sang regained his consciousness and found himself in the mountains.

Just like that time, with the help of the Tianmu Butterfly, he easily passed through the formation. In the process of passing through, he only caused imperceptible ripples and did not alarm any demon soldiers.

Qin Sang identified the direction of the cave and moved quickly in the mountain. On the way, he repeatedly used the Xuxuan Divine Light, and no formation or prohibition could stop him.

When they were almost at the cave of the Sankong Demon King, Qin Sang released Meishan Yuanjun.

Meishan Yuanjun was greatly surprised to see the surroundings so peaceful, and thought that Qin Sang's attainments in the art of formation prohibitions had reached the pinnacle.

"The cave is just above."

Qin Sang looked up at the top of the mountain. There was no palace or pavilion there, but there was a stone cave on the mountain wall, with strange carvings on both sides of the cave.

They jumped up and came to the foot of the mountain wall. Suddenly they looked at each other, as if they had discovered something unusual, and rushed directly to the cave.

The stone door was slowly pushed open.

Qin Sang and Meishan Yuanjun entered and found that the demon had disappeared.

"This guy is really alert. He has emptied everything..."

Qin Sang searched the palace rooms and found nothing left for them.

Back in the main hall, Qin Sang noticed a painting on the wall. The painting showed a spirit deer walking in the snow in the mountains, looking leisurely and comfortable.

'Snapped! '

Qin Sang waved his sleeves and released a powerful force.

The painting was shining, and the eyes of the spirit deer were shining brightly. A deep voice rang out: "Although I don't know which Taoist friend will come, I would like to give this Sankong Mountain to you. I hope you can treat the creatures in the mountain well."

Leaving these words behind, the idea in the painting completely dissipated.

"It looks like it's gone."

Qin Sang said helplessly that he had not expected that the Sankong Demon King would be willing to abandon such a huge foundation.

According to inquiries from various parties, all signs indicate that when the Four Kings met, none of the demon kings, including the four kings, behaved in an unusual manner. The sudden appearance of the powerful to fight with no signs beforehand indicated that it was most likely just a coincidence. However, the decision of the Three Kong Demon Kings to leave the place of trouble was also a mature move.

"It's okay," Meishan Yuanjun was not disappointed. "Just now I sensed that there is a demon general outside who seems to have the blood of the Poppy Dragon Deer. In the long run, he may be more suitable for me than the Three Kongs Demon King."

"Oh?"

Qin Sang didn't know much about the Linglu clan, but Meishan Yuanjun must know which bloodline is more suitable for him.

"In that case, send an order and order it to come."

……

The status of the demon soldiers in Sankong Mountain is easy to identify, and their rank can be determined by the number of deer antler patterns on their armor.

At this moment, there are four demon generals who are discussing matters in a hall. Each of the demon generals has eight deer horns painted on his body. He is second only to the Three Kong Demon Kings and is above all other demons.

"It's a mess outside. I don't know what the king is planning. He has strictly ordered us not to go out. We have to watch those precious lands fall into the hands of others..."

A demon general said with a look of unwillingness on his face.

Before he finished speaking, one of the female demons stood up and said solemnly: "The king summoned me!"

After saying this, he hurriedly left the hall and kowtowed in front of the cave, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

The stone door opens.

The demon general stood up and just walked in when he suddenly saw a flash of gray air in front of his eyes and cried out in his heart that something was wrong.

But it never expected that the king would plot against it. It was caught off guard and the gray air penetrated into its forehead. Its body immediately stiffened and it could not move.

Then, the demon revealed its true form and lay on the ground, transforming into a spirit deer. Unlike other spirit deer, it had a red tassel on its head, making it look quite majestic.

The spirit deer's body trembled slightly and its expression struggled, but it soon calmed down. When it opened its eyes again, the look in its eyes was completely different from before.

Nodding to Qin Sang with a slightly tired look, Meishan Yuanjun went into a palace room and began to meditate.

Qin Sang knew that Meishan Yuanjun’s retreat this time would not be too short.

What he practices is the ancient method, in which the Dharma appearance is the most important. Even if his body is damaged, he can be reborn with a drop of blood, so the impact on his strength is not that great.

Meishan Yuanjun is different. The demon cultivators of the time use the Dharma to temper their bodies. Their foundation is in the body. Not to mention the destruction of the body, even if there are minor injuries like a broken arm, they will not be able to reach their previous level of strength after rebirth. They must be tempered for a period of time before they can recover as before.

It would take Meishan Yuanjun even longer to possess the body of a deer demon in the Divine Transformation Stage.

However, once Meishan Yuanjun recovers some of his strength, he will be able to act as this deer monster.

……

Before Meishan Yuanjun woke up, Qin Sang had been staying in Sankong Mountain, but no other demon cultivators attacked them.

One day, Qin Sang noticed that someone had triggered the restriction and saw Meishan Yuanjun after she came out of seclusion.

Meishan Yuanjun did not return to his previous appearance and continued to be a demon general, but his strength had been partially restored.

"Find a reason to go out and survive the calamity, then come back and take over Sankong Mountain. Don't act rashly yet, and wait for my news."

Qin Sang gave some instructions, handed Sankong Mountain over to Meishan Yuanjun, left alone, and returned to the north bank of Liandu Lake.

He was not afraid of Meishan Yuanjun's betrayal. Firstly, Meishan Yuanjun had become his demon soldier. Secondly, they had all offended Guizang Dasheng and were on the same boat. Meishan Yuanjun almost died at the hands of the Qishenwei, and they had a deep hatred for each other.

Returning to the north bank, Qin Sang immediately found the base of Wuxianzhai.

Chi Lian happened to be at this branch altar, and when he saw Qin Sang, he asked curiously, "Where have you been? Why haven't you heard from me for so long?"

Qin Sang casually evaded the question.

Chi Lian did not ask any more questions. He took out a mustard seed bag and threw it to Qin Sang, "Here! This is the reward from the three Feixian friends."

"Is Mo Yan back?"

Qin Sang opened the mustard seed bag and took a look. The treasure inside was valuable, but it was hard to surprise him.

"I don't know."

Chi Lian shook his head. "After the storm, I went to Feixianji to visit, but was turned away. They claimed that they were in seclusion."

"That inkstone is not simple. I think he can come back alive." Qin Sang took out his jade contract. "My contribution now can be exchanged for some information, right?"

Qin Sang got the information about Wuxianzhai as he wished, and after reading it, a look of shock flashed in his eyes.

Chi Lian seemed to have been waiting to see him make a fool of himself, and when he saw this, he burst out laughing: "Why, are you scared?"

"Is this news true?"

Qin Sang asked in a deep voice, with a serious expression.

According to the information gathered by Wuxianzhai, including the meeting of the Four Kings, there were rumors of three battles between demons and saints in Liandu Lake within a short period of time.

The Four Kings Alliance was actually the second one, and it was also the one with the heaviest losses.

“Will it always be those two?”

Qin Sang still held out a glimmer of hope.

If so many demon saints appeared in Liandu Lake, he would not be able to go south at this time.

"Thanks to you, my current position is not as good as yours, so I can't see that information. But I believe the higher-ups are not fools, they will definitely be able to tell whether the attackers are the same," Chi Lian spread his hands. (End of this chapter)
