Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2386 Water Dragon Palace

"No need to see you off."

After the banquet, Qin Sang bid farewell to the three immortal friends and left on the wind.

The three Feixian friends hosted a banquet for Qin Sang and invited him to join them, but firstly, the timing was not right, and secondly, they still needed to make some preparations and could not set off immediately.

Qin Sang was also looking forward to this trip. When he discovered that the monsters in the world had abandoned the ancient magic, he realized that this was an opportunity.

The ancient demon race always leaves behind some legacy that will not be erased by time. These are like chicken ribs to the demon cultivators of the present. If he had not accidentally offended the demon saint, he would definitely stay and search carefully. Now he finally found a clue, which was also expected.

However, I just heard from the three friends of Feixian that Qin Sang is not the only one who practices ancient magic in the world. Although ancient magic is no longer mainstream, it still exists. It's just that the ancient magic is rumored to have many hidden dangers in the demon domain, and there are very few demon cultivators who can stick to their own opinions. The south bank of Liandu Lake is commonly known as the South Territory. It is said that there are still demon cultivators who practice ancient magic there.

Now that the Liandu Lake is unstable, the three Feixian friends cannot go to the southern border to find help, so they turn to Qin Sang.

Before leaving, Qin Sang planned to stay in Tianyunpu. The three Feixian friends did not reveal their destination, but it was certain that it was in Liandu Lake, so Qin Sang had to find out more information and prepare for the next trip.

This trip is very important to the three friends of Feixian, so they have not revealed much information to Qin Sang yet. Some secrets will not be told to Qin Sang until they set off. However, from the cautious behavior of the three friends of Feixian, it can be seen that the difficulty is definitely much greater than the last time they sought the pearls from the oysters, and there should be opponents.

At the same time, Qin Sang also realized that the ancient magic of the demon race had not been completely buried, and the opportunity could not be enjoyed by him alone. It was very likely that he would encounter competitors this time...

in the night.

Qin Sang was flying in the air, feeling the cool night breeze, with thoughts constantly flashing through his mind.

……

Tianyunpu appeared at the end of the field of vision.

Qin Sang glanced at the familiar mountains and his sight fell on the Gumei Dojo adjacent to Tianyunpu.

In the last war, Gu Mei was defeated, but she did not fall into despair. She actively made friends with allies, sought external aid, and gradually recovered her strength. After that, the two sides fought large and small battles constantly, with countless casualties. Unexpectedly, Gu Mei became more and more confident because she was hooked up with a great demon king in the late stage of the refining void.

Chi Lian was not willing to be outdone. With Qin Sang at home, she basically roamed outside all year round, joining forces with other demon kings to form a strong force. At this time, she was colluding with another great demon king.

The opposition deliberately portrayed by Gu Mei and Chi Lian was effective. They joined the two great demon kings respectively, and their dojo became the front line of the confrontation between the two major forces.

From the outside, they are mortal enemies.

On the other side, Meishan Yuanjun had led the Sankong Mountain demon soldiers to join the Black Silence Demon King early on. The Black Silence Demon King was now in his prime, and Meishan Yuanjun was living a very comfortable life.

Today, the territories vacated by the four kings have been basically divided up, and new and old great demon kings have popped up like mushrooms after a rain. I'm afraid that the demon cultivators who were born and raised in Liandu Lake would never have dreamed that there would be so many top powerhouses around them.

Qin Sang sneered secretly, lowered his escape light, and landed in Tianyunpu.

In mid-air, Qin Sang sensed several cold gazes coming from the opposite side. She must have been asking Gu Mei for help from the great demon king behind her.

Chi Lian and Gu Mei both come from Wuxianzhai, but if they have the chance to destroy each other's foundation in the future, they will never show mercy. This makes it more realistic.

As time goes by, the situation here becomes increasingly tense and panic-stricken.

"If there is no progress with Chi Lian, Gu Mei will probably take action..."

Qin Sang thought to himself, ignored those eyes, and went into the mountain. As soon as he entered the mountain gate, he sensed a familiar breath, and Chi Lian appeared in front of his eyes.

"When did you come back?"

"You went to a banquet not long after coming back? What exactly did the Three Flying Immortals plan to do that they had to hold a special banquet," Chi Lian asked curiously.

"The situation is unpredictable. Of course they want to get closer to Wuxianzhai. Unfortunately, they were disappointed that they couldn't meet the real owner," Qin Sang had prepared an excuse long ago.

"The Three Flying Immortals..."

Chi Lian tapped his chin lightly with his finger, "Do you think it's possible to win them over?"

"Do you mean Wuxianzhai or Tianyunpu?" Qin Sang asked.

"Of course it's Tianyunpu!"

Chi Lian said confidently, "I will still hide my identity, and you will be the one to make the connection and invite them to join Tianyunpu. If I can recruit the three of them, the white dragon will not dare to look down on me!"

Chi Lian has a treasure bestowed by the Five Immortals House that can conceal her true identity. However, Qin Sang has witnessed the power of Mo Yan's magical powers and doubts whether the treasure can hide from Mo Yan's discerning eyes.

"Mo Yan is a very sharp-sighted guy. We are together day and night. We can hide it for a while, but we can't hide it forever..."

Qin Sang tactfully advised Chi Lian to give up the idea.

The three Feixian friends are focused on solving their own hidden dangers, so how could they possibly join Tianyunpu?

Chi Lian also felt that there was little hope. "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Pick some guards and accompany me to the Water Dragon Palace tomorrow. Remember not to weaken the momentum!"

"Water Dragon Palace?"

Qin Sang glanced outside the mountain and asked, "Gu Mei knows that we have left the mountain. Will she take advantage of the situation and sneak in?"

"Give her ten guts!"

Chi Lian said disdainfully, "The slutty fox is willing to be the plaything of the Lord of Miasma and Plague, but I want to form an alliance with the White Dragon King. If she dares to attack Tianyunpu, I will immediately lead the Dragon Palace sailors to flatten her fox cave!"

The Lord of Malaria and Plague and the White Dragon King mentioned by Chi Lian are the two overlords of Liandu Lake.

Not only does the White Dragon King have an impressive name, he also named his own temple the Water Dragon Palace. He once single-handedly prevented the Four Kings from advancing eastward, which shows how powerful he is.

Chi Lian had already contacted the Water Dragon Palace, but what she wanted was an alliance rather than surrender. The White Dragon King had always been uninterested, but for some reason, he finally gave in.

"This time we are going to the Water Dragon Palace, and forming an alliance is just a small matter. The White Dragon King stood up not long ago and spread the message to all directions. It is said that all forces will send envoys, including the Lord of Malaria and Plague. This is a rare event. The alliance is unlikely to end in a short period of time. Not only will it be easier to get information, but there will also be some small trade fairs. I will introduce a few fellow Taoists to you then..."

Chi Lian explained the whole story briefly and concisely.

This was exactly the kind of meeting Qin Sang was looking forward to. Hearing this, he was overjoyed. "Thank you very much, fellow Daoist."

Tianyunpu began preparations that night, and early the next morning, Chi Lian and Qin Sang rode on fragrant carriages and chariots, led the ceremonial guards, and left the mountain gate in a grand manner, riding on the clouds to the east.

Gu Mei was startled and stood on the top of the mountain, watching the ceremonial procession go away with cold eyes.

There was a man standing on each side of her. One of them was skinny, had two mustaches on his lips, and looked a bit wretched.

He twirled his beard and said in feigned anger, "How dare they leave the mountain gate at this time? It's clear that they don't take us brothers seriously! Before we came here, the Plague Lord ordered us to act according to our discretion. Fellow Daoist Gu, do you want to destroy their lair now?"

Gu Mei's pretty face was tense and not looking good. She clenched her teeth and said, "The Lord of Plague just sent a decree, warning us not to act rashly. He ordered me to go there quickly. I'll have to trouble you two to look after the mountain gate from now on."

"Since it is the order of the Lord of Plague, go quickly, fellow Taoist. With us here, there will be no mistakes!"

The two demons agreed readily.

Gu Mei nodded, swayed her waist, and flew away. Her every move was full of charm.

The two demons looked at her from behind with fiery eyes, but they did not dare to do anything frivolous, because she was the Plague Lord's concubine.

……

The ceremonial procession did not go directly to the Water Dragon Palace. Chi Lian went first to meet up with other demon kings and attend the meeting with all the demons.

Most of these demon kings were foreign demon kings. After occupying the territories of the four kings, they were worried about being driven out by other forces, so they huddled together with Chi Lian for warmth. Some of them had met Qin Sang before, and even if they hadn't met, they had heard of him. When they met today, they were quite warm.

Chi Lian's ability to win over the 'demon hearts' is amazing, and he is implicitly the core among these demon kings. Especially after forming an alliance with the White Dragon King, his core position has become even more difficult to shake. Of course, this is also due to the continuous support provided by the Five Immortals House.

Qin Sang was Chi Lian's military advisor, so those demon kings did not dare to look down on him.

The journey was quite relaxing, with laughter and joy. The demon kings took turns hosting banquets in the imperial carriage. After several rounds of banquets, Qin Sang had become able to treat them as brothers, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

The ceremonial guards of the kings were lined up in a row, stretching for more than ten miles in the air. They rushed eastward, traveling day and night, and finally arrived above a lake as vast as the sea.

As soon as the ceremonial procession passed the rocks on the lakeshore, bubbles appeared on the water surface and a wave surged. A demon general led his demon soldiers, with a faint fishy smell, and rode the waves to block the way ahead.

The demon general wore a white helmet and white armor, looked very heroic, and carried a black gold crab shell on his back.

The Crab General raised the spear in his hand, held it horizontally in front of him, and asked loudly: "Is Tian Yunpu's distinguished guest?"

"Exactly!"

Chi Lian walked to the front of the imperial carriage, took out a dragon scale-shaped token and threw it to the Crab General.

The Crab General glanced through it briefly and bowed, "Excuse me for being rude, my dear guest! The Dragon King has prepared a palace for you. Please follow me to the palace to settle down first."

"Lead the way!"

Chi Lian gave the order through voice transmission, and the demon soldiers put away their weapons one after another.

The crab general used his spear to draw a line on the water surface, and the waves quickly separated to both sides, forming a waterway leading directly to the bottom of the lake.

The ceremonial guard sank into the water along with the crab, and the surface of the lake slowly closed again.

This lake is much deeper than imagined. The crab general leads the way in front. The light gradually dims, and it is almost completely dark in the back. The sailors of the Dragon Palace take out "lanterns" one after another. The lanterns are all complete night pearls with exquisite carvings and inlays.

After diving to an unknown depth, light finally appeared in front of me, and it suddenly became bright.

The monsters looked into the distance and could not help but marvel at the clear water, white sand and rocks, and countless strange aquatic plants growing lushly like shade.

There are palaces like clouds in front, and the pavilions and towers are all carved out of crystal. There is no end as far as the eye can see, and it is full of brilliance and magnificent.

"It's worthy of being called Water Dragon Palace!"

A demon king beside Qin Sang exclaimed.

"The White Dragon King has been ruling this place for many years, and his profound background is beyond our reach," Qin Sang echoed.

It is said that the true form of the White Dragon King is actually a white dragon, but this palace is indeed very magnificent and lives up to the name of Water Dragon Palace.

The Water Dragon Palace is heavily guarded.

The Crab General led them into the Water Dragon Palace, and then, without any hindrance, brought them to a crystal palace.

"There are dozens of palaces inside. You can choose any one you like," General Crab led the sailors to stand in front of the main gate. "I will be stationed here all the time. If you have any requests, just tell me."

"When will Lord Dragon King summon us?" Chi Lian asked.

"If the Dragon King summons you, I will send a eunuch to deliver the message," the Crab General replied.

"The alliance meeting is imminent, and Lord Dragon King must be very busy. It's okay for us to wait for a while," said a demon king, and the other demon kings echoed him, not feeling that they were being neglected.

Chi Lian and Qin Sang had no choice but to choose a temporary palace to stay in.

Leaving the demon soldiers behind, they left the palace with several demon kings.

Flying is not allowed in the Water Dragon Palace, so they walked slowly on the street, preparing to go to a place first.

I heard from the Crab General that many messengers have arrived in the past few days, but none of them have been summoned by the Dragon King. It seems that the Dragon King has to wait until all forces are gathered before coming together.

These envoys have been moving around frequently recently, some discussing things secretly, while others take the opportunity to trade and exchange what they have.

Walking on the street, from time to time you would pass by a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, all of whom looked straight at you, which shows how strict the rule of this White Dragon King is.

"Well, the Hongnao Pavilion is not far ahead..."

Chi Lian walked in front, holding a feng shui map in his hand.

At this time, all the monsters felt something in their hearts, stopped and looked towards a certain intersection.

A moment later, three demon kings walked out of the intersection. The other party had already sensed them and turned to look at them.

"Huh? Is this the Lord of Tianyunpu?"

Among the three people, the one in the middle was a handsome young man. When the young man saw Chi Lian, his eyes lit up and he quickly walked over.

Qin Sang's attention was on another person.

On the left side of the young man was a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar. He had an elegant temperament and did not have the slightest bit of viciousness.

This middle-aged scholar looked unfamiliar, but Qin Sang felt that he was familiar with him. He quietly awakened the Sky Eye Butterfly and secretly activated his magical powers, and he immediately understood.

At the same time, a familiar voice sounded in my ears, "Daoist Fellow Qingfeng?"

It is indeed an inkstone!

Mo Yan has the magical power of painting, and Qin Sang also has unknown means. Qin Sang has personally witnessed Mo Yan displaying similar magical powers, so he cooperated with Tianmu Butterfly to recognize him.

"Fellow Daoist Mo Yan, why are you here?"

Qin Sang pretended to be surprised, "Where are fellow Daoists Wuxian and Duanqiao?"

"My fellow Taoist and I are indeed in tune with each other. We just separated and met again in the Water Dragon Palace! My second and third brothers had other important matters to attend to and did not come with me," Mo Yan remained expressionless and secretly communicated with Qin Sang.

As he spoke, he glanced at Chi Lian who was beside Qin Sang, "This should be Fellow Daoist Chi Lian, right? No wonder Fellow Daoist Chi Lian has no time to attend the banquet, it turns out that Wuxianzhai has entrusted him with an important task."

I don’t know whether Mo Yan really saw through Chi Lian’s true identity or he made an inference based on Qin Sang’s.

Qin Sang did not deny it deliberately. "I have made a vow, so it is inconvenient for me to tell you the inside story. Please don't blame me... Who is this person?"

At this time, the young man and Chi Lian exchanged a few warm greetings and then left without staying for too long.

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. I won't reveal your identities. My sneaking into the Lotus Crossing Lake is just a temporary solution. This is a long story. If you have time tomorrow night, you can come and meet me here..."

Mo Yan told Qin Sang a location, nodded to them, and followed the young man into another alley. (End of this chapter)
