Chapter 2390 Demon Saint Subordinates
Qin Sang and Chi Lian rushed back to Tianyunpu without stopping, and led the demon soldiers to decorate the mountain with lanterns and colorful lights. Within a few days, the distinguished guest they were waiting for arrived.
At noon that day, Qin Sang was practicing in the cave, digesting the insights he had gained from the stone bowl, when suddenly someone triggered the restriction and woke him up.
Qin Sang took a short breath, pushed the door open and went out, and saw Chi Lian standing at the door with her back to him, looking out of the mountain.
"coming?"
Chi Lian nodded, a sarcastic smile on his face, "Come on, follow me out of the mountain to welcome them, otherwise they will accuse us of disrespect, wouldn't that be unfair?"
"Just want to see who this person is..."
Qin Sang smiled and gave orders to the demon general.
The mountain gate burst open and the demon soldiers came out one after another. They stepped on the demon clouds and flew into the air, setting up a battle formation in front of the mountain. Then Qin Sang and Chi Lian floated to the front.
At this moment, there was movement in the west, and Gu Mei led her demon soldiers out of the mountain to welcome them.
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
Gu Mei and Chi Lian snorted coldly when they saw each other, their beautiful eyes spitting fire. In the Crystal Palace, the various forces reached an agreement under the witness of the White Dragon King, that they must unite and not fight privately before the demon saint's subordinates leave. If it weren't for the constraints of the agreement, they would probably fight immediately.
They tried not to look at each other and stared into the sky.
Soon, patches of red clouds appeared on the horizon, and the red clouds were like fire, as if burning the sky through.
Seeing the flaming red clouds, Qin Sang's eyes suddenly flickered.
Soon after, one could see a number of Dharma boats rushing out from the red clouds. The Dharma boats were like ants, forming a formation and breaking through the air. Wherever they passed, the sky was filled with red clouds. In the blink of an eye, the red glow dyed half of the sky, as if fire from heaven had descended to the earth.
They are worthy of being the subordinates of the Demon Saint, with such great prestige. Compared with them, Tianyunpu is like the private soldiers of a local rich man in the countryside.
After a while, the glow of the sunset approached the mountain.
The Dharma boats stopped one after another, separated to the sides, and a royal carriage slowly flew out.
"The army is well-organized and awe-inspiring. What a strong and capable general!"
A woman's voice was heard from the imperial carriage, sonorous and powerful, obviously praising the Tianyunpu demon soldiers.
Gu Mei's face suddenly turned gloomy.
Chi Lian was overjoyed, secretly thinking that inviting Qin Sang to train the troops was indeed a wise move. He flew forward and saluted, saying, "Tianyunpu Yinhuan, may I ask which great sage is this?"
Not willing to be outdone, Gu Mei also stepped forward and announced her name.
"I dare not! I am the first disciple to become your disciple, so I am honored to be your eldest disciple. You two fellow Taoists can just call me Yuanluo..."
Above the imperial carriage, there was a light gauze curtain, and shadowy figures were visible inside.
The gauze curtain fluttered, and through the gaps, one could vaguely see a female cultivator sitting in the main seat, with the rest of the demon cultivators lined up in order below her seat.
"It's really her!"
When Qin Sang saw the woman’s true appearance, he was shocked and extremely surprised.
When he saw the glow just now, he felt somewhat familiar. He had actually seen the banshee on the throne before.
At that time, when he rushed out of the ice vortex, he encountered a female demon who trapped him and two other demon cultivators in a huge net. He saw through the trick and escaped with a plan. It was the female demon named Yuanluo in front of him!
Qin Sang's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was in turmoil.
The demon saint who disappeared in Liandu Lake is Yuanluo's master? But the demon saint behind Yuanluo was clearly in the Arctic ice field and was captured by the bone hand!
Could it be that the two demon saints cracked the bone hand, came to Liandu Lake again, and then disappeared in Liandu Lake again?
"Junior brother, you can stay here. Remember not to neglect the three fellow Taoists," Yuan Luo pointed out a demon cultivator and said to the outside, "Three fellow Taoists, this is my junior brother Yuan Zhen. Please cooperate with him to investigate some things. If we have offended you, I hope you will forgive us."
"We will do our best to assist Fellow Daoist Yuan Zhen," Chi Lian and Gu Mei said in unison.
Leaving Yuan Zhen behind, Yuan Luo led the Dharma Boat and left in the glow of the sunset.
Yuan Zhen greeted the two girls and came to Qin Sang, "This must be Daoist Qingfeng, Yuan Zhen is polite."
Qin Sang retracted his gaze and returned the greeting, "I dare not. We have prepared some light wine in the mountains, fellow Taoist..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Gu Mei, "Since it is just a light drink, it would be disrespectful to the guests! I have already prepared the fairy fruit and nectar, and there are beautiful girls to serve you. Daoist Yuan Zhen is new here, so you should go to my place first."
"You are indeed a barbarian, you don't know how to be humble..."
Chi Lian immediately jumped out and retorted.
The two women exchanged sharp words, neither of them giving in. Qin Sang and Yuan Zhen looked at each other in bewilderment.
Yuan Zhen looked around and said with a smile, "No need to come into the mountain to bother you. I have already planned to build a hut there and live there."
As he spoke, he pointed to a flower valley between two mountains. A light flashed from his fingertips, and a thatched cottage appeared in the valley.
Without further ado, he landed in front of the thatched cottage and said with a smile, "It is a sin not to drink the nectar and not to eat the fairy fruit. Why don't you two bring the nectar and fairy fruit, and we can sit here and discuss the Dao, wouldn't that be wonderful?"
The two women's persuasion was fruitless, so they had to fulfill Yuan Zhen's wish. They each brought a banquet and set it up in front of the thatched cottage, which was extremely sumptuous.
After dismissing their subordinates, there were only four demon cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage left in the valley. The two women still did not forget to ridicule each other, but they were both peerless beauties with unique charm, and Qin Sang and Yuan Zhen watched with great interest.
The two women were three parts real and seven parts acting, trying to get the truth out of Yuan Zhen and find out whether the rumor that the Demon Saint's life fire was extinguished was groundless. However, Yuan Zhen was very tight-lipped and in the end, he failed to get any useful information out of him.
It was already midnight when the banquet ended. Yuan Zhen insisted on staying in the thatched cottage. When bidding farewell, he said earnestly, "I have an unwelcome request. Starting tomorrow, I hope the two fairies can send their demon soldiers over in batches. I want to ask them some questions. Don't worry, the two fairies, I will never hurt them in the slightest."
"This……"
Gu Mei hesitated.
Chi Lian deliberately went against her and agreed immediately, and told Qin Sang: "Daoist Qingfeng, you can arrange it. Daoist Yuanzhen, please feel free to ask anything you want to ask. If there is anything we don't know, you can ask us."
"Thank you!"
Yuan Zhen was overjoyed, "After asking those demon soldiers, I do have a few questions that I would like to ask you three."
After bidding farewell to Yuan Zhen, Qin Sang and Chi Lian returned to the mountain gate.
"What do you think of Yuan Zhen, fellow Daoist?" Chi Lian asked.
"This monster is very meticulous. We can't tell anything from one banquet. In fact, his senior sister Yuanluo is more worthy of our attention," Qin Sang said.
"White Dragon King will deal with Yuanluo... In this case, let's just wait and see what happens," Chi Lian turned around and went back home.
Qin Sang summoned a few demon generals, gave them some instructions, and then returned to the cave. He recalled his experiences during the day and pondered secretly.
One happened in Liandu Lake, and the other happened deep in the Arctic ice field. I didn’t expect these two things to be connected.
Qin Sang felt that the fog covering the Liandu Lake was becoming even more unfathomable.
Where should I go?
Starting from the next day, the demon soldiers under Chi Lian and Gu Mei came down the mountain one after another to accept Yuan Zhen's questioning.
Qin Sang and the two women did not intervene, and just let the demon soldier tell Yuan Zhen everything.
The demon soldiers took turns entering the hut to be questioned, and the questioning took much longer than expected.
In fact, it was more convenient and quicker for Yuan Zhen to use the soul-searching technique. He was probably worried about causing public outrage, so he went to the trouble of taking this gentle approach.
Not only the top-ranked demon generals and soldiers, Yuan Zhen even did not let go of the little demon that had just been brought back to the mountain, and he asked them very detailed questions.
After the demon soldiers were questioned, Qin Sang would call them to his seat and ask them to repeat what Yuan Zhen had asked. In the end, he found that Yuan Zhen did not ask any special questions. He just asked them to talk about all their experiences and observations from ten years before the battle between the demon saint and the present.
That was the second time that a battle between demon saints appeared in Liandu Lake according to rumors. The first time happened a few years ago!
If there was something unclear, Yuan Zhen would ask again and again, digging into every detail, but Qin Sang did not think there was anything special about these details, and was unable to guess Yuan Zhen's true intentions from them.
Yuan Zhen was also very sensible. The question did not involve the secrets of Tianyunpu, so Qin Sang had no reason to stop.
It took Yuan Zhen more than a month to question all the demon soldiers, and only three of them were left. The first one to receive the invitation was Qin Sang.
"Fellow Taoist, please sit down."
Yuan Zhen smiled broadly, "I'm sorry for bothering you these days."
“Fellow Daoist, you are too polite. We are all just following orders. Just don’t make any mistakes,” Qin Sang said indifferently.
Yuan Zhen nodded, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Excuse me for being so presumptuous, but it seems that you were not born or raised here?"
“How come you see?”
Qin Sang asked back.
"Because before Tianyunpu became famous, your reputation had not spread in Liandu Lake. With your ability, it shouldn't be like this. It seems like you suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and the same goes for fellow Taoists Yinhuan and others," Yuan Zhen said.
"Now in the territories of the Four Kings, we are not the only fellow Taoists who have suddenly appeared, right?" Qin Sang said.
"Yes, almost most of them were previously unknown, but those fellow Taoists are under the care of my senior brothers and sisters. I only need to get the answers from the fellow Taoists and the two fairies, and then I can report to Senior Sister Yuanluo," Yuan Zhen replied.
"Have you come here specifically to investigate my background?" Qin Sang's eyes turned cold.
Yuan Zhen seemed unaware, and leaned forward slightly, expectantly asking, "Can you tell me, fellow Daoist?"
Qin Sang sneered, "No comment!"
Unexpectedly, Yuan Zhen did not get to the bottom of this issue, and changed his tone, "So, where did you get the news of the four kings' fall, and how did you rush here in time to occupy this superior dojo?"
"You should ask Fellow Daoist Yinhuan about this question. She is the master of Tianyunpu," Qin Sang said impatiently.
"So that's how it is. I understand now." Yuan Zhen stood up and bowed solemnly. "I apologize for offending you just now. Please don't blame me, fellow Taoist."
Qin Sang asked in surprise: "Are you done asking?"
Yuan Zhen was helpless, "Since fellow Daoist has nothing to say, why should I humiliate myself?"
After Qin Sang left, Yuan Zhen invited Chi Lian to go again.
That night, Qin Sang and Chi Lian got together and talked about their experiences. They found that Yuan Zhen was just doing his job and would immediately give up asking questions once he was rejected. The intentions of these demon saint's subordinates were really hard to guess.
Afterwards, Yuan Zhen did not leave and still lived in the thatched cottage, but he went out frequently, leaving early and returning late, and no one knew what he was exploring.
Qin Sang and the others didn't ask any further questions. They ordered the demon soldiers to cooperate fully and left it to their own devices.
Before I knew it, Yuan Zhen had been here for half a year.
These demon saint subordinates brought a rare peace to this place. The territories of the four kings and the surrounding forces became stagnant, and everything seemed to have fallen silent.
……
Tianyunpu, Feilai Peak.
Qin Sang watched Yuan Zhen leave the Flower Valley and walk farther and farther away. After waiting for a moment, he also quietly left Tianyunpu.
After flying a short distance and landing on the lakeside, Qin Sang looked towards the reed marsh and asked, "Why are you here, fellow Daoist?"
The reeds swayed gently, and a woman walked out. It was Meishan Yuanjun who had changed her identity.
"The Black Demon King ordered me to escort a batch of treasures to the White Dragon King, and I happened to pass by Tianyunpu," said Meishan Yuanjun.
"When did that guy and the White Dragon King become so close? He's quite good at manipulating people," Qin Sang commented.
"Yes, the Black Silence Demon King is not a reckless man," said Meishan Yuanjun.
“There is no reckless person who can cultivate to this level,” Qin Sang shook his head. “During this period, what actions has the Black Silence Demon King taken?”
"It is very obedient. It does whatever the demon saint's descendant tells it to do, fulfilling its duties conscientiously and without complaint..."
Meishan Yuanjun briefly talked about some anecdotes about the Black Silence Demon King, some of which had already been reported to Qin Sang before.
"That guy is most likely a subordinate of a demon saint, but he can endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens. It seems that he has big plans!" Qin Sang sighed.
“Also, the Black Demon King seems to be very close to the Lord of Malaria and Plague. Although he ordered me to present treasures to the White Dragon King, he himself has never visited the Water Dragon Palace. But he has personally been to the residence of the Lord of Malaria and Plague,” Meishan Yuanjun is very smart and has gained a certain degree of trust from the Black Demon King.
Because the meeting was too hasty, Meishan Yuanjun was about to set off and told Qin Sang another piece of news before leaving.
A few days ago, the descendant of the Demon Saint ordered the Black Silence Demon King to select some demon soldiers who would be useful in the future.
Qin Sang didn't know the whole story, so he paid more attention to Yuan Zhen's actions after returning.
……
"Oh? Daoist friend, do you want to order a group of demon soldiers to take away?"
In the main hall, Qin Sang looked at Yuan Zhen who came to borrow troops.
"To be honest with you, Senior Sister Yuanluo has been planning a big event for a while now, and we need a large number of demon soldiers to help. Due to the long journey and our hasty action, we have no way of thinking, which resulted in insufficient manpower and we can only borrow soldiers. The demon soldiers trained by you were highly praised by Senior Sister Yuanluo, and they are a rare group of elite soldiers. I am here to ask for your help. After the matter is done, I will bring them back intact," Yuan Zhen said earnestly.
Qin Sang had expected this, and pretended to be thoughtful before saying, "If it's just to borrow troops, Daoist Fellow Yinhuan will surely not refuse. However, I have an unwelcome request..."
"Please speak, fellow Daoist," Yuan Zhen said anxiously.
"I have always admired you great saints, but unfortunately my cultivation is too low and I am not qualified to meet you. Can you go with me? I will be very satisfied if I can appreciate the demeanor of the great saints' subordinates..."
"That's not difficult!" Yuan Zhen readily agreed, "I'm just afraid that you will be disappointed."
Both parties were happy. Qin Sang found Chi Lian and had a brief discussion. He then selected a group of demon soldiers and ordered them to follow Yuan Zhen.
When setting out, Qin Sang learned that the destination was the Water Dragon Palace again, and then he knew that Yuanluo had been living in the Water Dragon Palace. In addition to Yuanluo, another demon saint's subordinate was also there.
The purpose of Qin Sang's trip was to see whether the subordinates of the other demon saint were the cousins he had seen on the Arctic ice field!
