Chapter 1420: Bai Xinlan Arrives, Demands the Luo Tian Snake King Pill

After a few short breaths, the surrounding gazes faded.

The Heavenly Capital Dragon King returned to Chen Chuyang's side, flicked his fist, and said, "Perfectly resolved; the Mangshan Demon Emperor will be busy for a long time this time, and his subordinate Demon Kings should be enough for him to deal with."

"You can at least live peacefully for a few years; the Demon Kings under the Mangshan Demon Emperor are formidable—each one is no simple foe. They are ambitious, their talents are not lacking, and they have always sought to seize power. They have waited for many years, yet they have not found… a chance."

"Earlier, I had people spread the news that the Mangshan Demon Emperor was injured, so that everyone inside and outside the Mangshan Mountain Range would know. As a result, those people did not act, but chose to remain silent."

"Perhaps they thought it was false information, fearing it was a scheme by the Mangshan Demon Emperor against them, not realizing it was the rumor I spread."

The Heavenly Capital Dragon King calmly recounted the events of those days; he is no dragon who knows nothing.

Be it conspiracies, tricks, or anything else, he knows them all, and his methods are not lacking either.

"The news of my recent injury was probably spread by him; the information about our injuries is known only between us—no one else could know."

"I am fully aware of his petty thoughts; he simply wants to make me suffer, to prevent my recovery."

"Heh heh heh."

"This time, it's his turn to be in a bind."

The Heavenly Capital Dragon King couldn't help but laugh aloud, recalling the Mangshan Demon Emperor's frantic, angry demeanor; it made him want to laugh.

He especially wanted to laugh, and Chen Chuyang, hearing this, naturally recognized that the Heavenly Capital Dragon King was no ordinary being; one should not underestimate these ancient, long‑lived elders, whose strength and scheming are certainly formidable.

If one looks down on them, they could be killed by them at any moment.

"Your Excellency the Dragon King, impressive," Chen Chuyang gave a thumbs‑up, praising him directly.

The Heavenly Capital Dragon King waved his hand: "Just a trivial calculation, not worth debating; before absolute power, any conspiracy or trick is merely illusion."

"With a fellow Daoist's strength, seeking a peaceful life is still very easy; that man Zhang Mang will certainly be wary of the fellow Daoist."

"These years, he has been watching the fellow Daoist; as long as the fellow Daoist does not act, he certainly will not dare to strike."

He knows the Mangshan Demon Emperor Zhang Mang too well, understanding his character.

This person is a master of bullying the weak and fearing the strong; once he learns you're injured and not his match, Zhang Mang will find a way to kill you.

He spares no means; as long as the goal can be reached, he will do anything.

The reason he could sit on the Demon Emperor throne is his ruthlessness and his willingness to use any means.

Many of the Demon Kings under his command have changed; the ones who remain are all formidable, not ordinary Demon Kings.

The interior of the Mangshan Demon Palace is extremely complex, and the Heavenly Capital Dragon King warned: "As long as the fellow Daoist does not get too entangled with those Demon Kings, Zhang Mang will not be eager to act against the fellow Daoist. After a few more years, with the fellow Daoist's talent, perhaps even we will not be a match for the fellow Daoist."

Chen Chuyang's age is not great, yet the Heavenly Capital Dragon King can still discern a bit of it.

From a close view, some clues can still be seen.

The exact age requires direct interaction to determine.

"Thank you for the reminder, Your Excellency the Dragon King," Chen Chuyang clasped his hands, expressing gratitude.

The Heavenly Capital Dragon King waved his hand: "No need for that; I have noted the fellow Daoist's help in my heart. If the fellow Daoist has any orders later, feel free to call on me."

He stepped back, clasped his hands, then turned and left.

"This Dragon King is genuine in temperament, but still, one must be cautious."

This battle seemed to achieve no particular goal; in fact, that is better.

The Heavenly Capital Dragon King's action directly caused unrest within the Mangshan Mountain Range; at least the Demon Kings and the gazes watching learned that the Mangshan Demon Emperor was likely truly injured. Once that news is confirmed, they will frantically tear at the Mangshan Demon Emperor.

"The Mangshan Demon Emperor won't be so easy afterward."

Chen Chuyang turned and headed back to Longshe Shan, not wishing to stay here.

Inside the Mangshan Demon Palace.

The Mangshan Demon Emperor returned to the palace, sat in his seat, his gaze cold.

"Heavenly Capital Soul."

A gritted‑teeth voice rang out; he was truly angry. This time, many saw his own cowardice.

Continuing the fight would be detrimental to him.

Zhang Mang clutched his chest, his complexion icy: "Cough cough, my injuries haven't fully healed, and that Heavenly Capital Soul fellow is the same. This time, he likely obtained the Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill, while the Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill belonging to me has not been secured."

"Who exactly is that person? What relation does he have with the Qinglong Daoren?"

He closed his eyes, thinking of Chen Chuyang, seeing that kind of face.

He couldn't help but start pondering; the Qinglong Daoren and Chen Chuyang kept overlapping, yet the two were not alike at all.

However, the Mangshan Demon Emperor kept overlapping, continuously searching for similarities.

Finally, he found it.

"Buzz."

He opened his eyes; the gazes of the two were the same, appearing different—one from the Azure Dragon Clan, the other, Chen Chuyang, more human‑like.

The two have no relation, yet Zhang Mang always feels their connection is not shallow.

"Their relationship is complicated; that person stands behind the Qinglong Daoren. It seems I underestimated the Qinglong Daoren," the Mangshan Demon Emperor Zhang Mang muttered.

He stared at the location of Longshe Shan, clenching his fist: "Did the Qinglong Daoren deliberately send him to intimidate me, having the Heavenly Capital Dragon King act together, to give me a warning?"

"Hmph."

"Longshe Shan, the Qinglong Daoren, that man, and the Heavenly Capital Soul bastard—you all wait for me. When my injuries heal, when I breakthrough, I will soon kill you all."

The Mangshan Demon Emperor was furious, yet he had no way.

Little time remains for him; the Heavenly Capital Dragon King has obtained the Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill, and his cultivation may be enhanced.

By then, he might just…

Five days later.

Longshe Shan welcomed the guest Bai Xinlan, who entered the Formation directly and soon arrived before the Qinglong Daoren.

In a familiar place, with the familiar Qinglong Daoren, Bai Xinlan greeted him and then searched for Chen Chuyang's figure.

Chen Chuyang at this moment was inside Elder Xinran's cave dwelling, properly accompanying Elder Xinran and Tianlian Zhenren. Both are his women, so he naturally must comfort them properly; otherwise, after departing, it won't be easy to be with them again.

Qinglong True Person saw her thought, smiling asked: "Daoist friend, what are you looking at?"

Bai Xinlan blinked and answered: "Didn't see anything, Daoist friend, this time I came, I have a request."

Clasping her hands, bending her waist, her attitude earnest.

Qinglong Daoren quickly helped her up, smiling: "Daoist friend, you're being too polite; between us, just say what you have to say directly, no need to be so polite."

Bai Xinlan directly said: "Then I'll say it directly: this time I came to ask for the Luotian Snake King Pill; I don't know if Daoist friend has succeeded in refining it."
