Chapter 1433: Bai Xinlan's Ambition, Controlling the Mangshan Demon Palace

"You and I cooperate; within the Mangshan Mountain Range, there are not many people I can trust, and you, Qinglong Daoist, are trustworthy."

"The other Demon Kings have also approached me for cooperation; I don't trust them. Black Tiger is ambitious and has long wanted to become the Mangshan Demon Emperor. He cannot fully trust me; the only reason he cooperates with me is to use me, and I am no less using him."

"Such a mutually exploitative relationship cannot last; I also don't want to keep scheming with him, and I fear that at a crucial moment he will strike me from behind, and then I would truly be in tears."

Bai Xinlan does not trust Black Tiger, nor the Bee King and Diewumeng; these three are different.

Each has their own scheming; they cannot allow the Luotian White Snake Clan to grow stronger. Once the Mangshan Demon Emperor falls, they will immediately act against the Luotian White Snake Clan and will not spare it.

Bai Xinlan must find a reliable person to cooperate with, so this situation can be avoided.

After counting them all, only Qinglong Daoren is suitable; the others are actually unsuitable.

So she immediately went to Longshe Shan to seek cooperation. Qinglong Daoren's needs are clear to Bai Xinlan; she can provide all of them. If she were to control the Mangshan Mountain Range, those matters would be merely trivial.

Even if Qinglong Daoren does not speak first, she will personally go to his door, trade with him, and fulfill her promise.

Qinglong Daoren is a Pill Refining master, an Eighth-Grade Alchemist; setting aside his Pill Refining technique, his strength is not weak, and he has improved rapidly in recent years. He is not easy to deal with, but Bai Xinlan has no intention to oppose him; this person is worth courting and worth cooperating with.

There is no need to offend such a Pill Refining master; she is well aware of this.

The entire Luotian White Snake Clan is grateful to Qinglong Daoren; their mutual cooperation is more beneficial than harmful.

At present, it is all benefit and no harm.

"And you, I trust you; between us, we could not betray each other over a trivial benefit. Moreover, I control the Mangshan Mountain Range—aren't those resources yours as well? Whatever you need, we can find for you, saving you a lot of time searching."

"Providing for a Pill Refining master like you is our honor."

"You and I cooperate, all benefit and no harm."

Bai Xinlan again elaborated their cooperation; the advantages are countless.

Moreover, Qinglong Daoist's strength is not lacking; there is an additional demon beast within Longshe Shan, which she naturally knows.

These people's strength is not great, but they have good talent; in the future, they will surely become a regional Demon King.

For now, these people are not a cause for concern.

The Mangshan Mountain Range is vast, requiring many Demon Kings to be stationed; even if the people of Longshe Shan are dispatched, it is still insufficient.

The Mangshan Demon Palace is under great pressure and must confront human factions; those human forces would love to annihilate them and then seize the resources of the Mangshan Mountain Range.

The massive resources, countless spirit medicines, and the various rare treasures hidden within are exactly what human factions covet, and everything on those demon beasts is also rare and valuable.

"Qinglong Daoist, what are your thoughts?"

Bai Xinlan feels very nervous and conflicted, fearing that Qinglong Daoren will refuse.

Qinglong Daoren currently does not wish to offend people, nor to offend the Mangshan Demon Emperor.

If she truly cooperates, it will inevitably offend the Mangshan Demon Emperor; although the Mangshan Demon Emperor will retaliate, it will not be immediate—at least not until he has finished handling the various affairs of the Mangshan Demon Palace.

At that time, it may not be retaliation but a need for Qinglong Daoren to refine medicine for him to heal his injuries.

Thus, Qinglong Daoren could at least eke out a few more hundred years of survival.

The pros and cons of this are, of course, clear to Qinglong Daoren.

"What else could be done? Naturally, it's fine." Qinglong Daoren extended his hand, looking at Bai Xinlan; he naturally knows the Mangshan Demon Emperor cannot let him go. This time the true body arrives, and with the Celestial Dragon King intervening, it is truly a grave offense to the Mangshan Demon Emperor.

Given the Mangshan Demon Emperor's nature, he is vengeful and cannot let him go.

Rather than sitting and awaiting death, it's better to act directly.

Qinglong Daoren is not the type to wait for danger to knock; he acts directly to eliminate trouble.

Bai Xinlan's arrival made him see the possibility of cooperation.

"Really?" Bai Xinlan excitedly extended her hand, tightly clasping Qinglong Daoren's hand.

"Naturally it's true," Qinglong Daoren smiled, "Bai Xinlan Daoist is the only person I trust in the Mangshan Mountain Range; the others, I cannot trust."

"During this period, many have come to find me, but they have not been able to see me."

"Bai Xinlan Daoist, only by cooperating with you can I be at ease."

This woman is quite excellent in every way; she is a good seed.

If the true body can secure her, that would be ideal; then they would be one family, indistinguishable.

Bai Xinlan belongs to the true body, so everything she obtains naturally belongs to the true body as well.

In that case, helping one's own is also beyond reproach.

On the human side, he sent Huang Yan and his two sons; on the demon beast side, coordination is also needed to jointly control.

Controlling alone, either way, is not secure enough.

This is also Chen Chuyang's intention, but Chen Chuyang has no other thoughts toward Bai Xinlan; as a split self, he naturally must solve this trouble for the true body, and Bai Xinlan is truly excellent, very suitable for the true body.

If they can come together, the children they bear will surely be outstanding.

Qinglong Daoren can then be completely at ease, without fearing Bai Xinlan's betrayal.

Bai Xinlan feels Qinglong Daoren's gaze is strange, as if he has interest in her, yet also as if…

Besides that, she also sensed another gaze, a strange gaze, but she cannot locate its source; after searching many rounds, she still cannot find it.

On the contrary, she can sense the White Deer King and Xinran Zhanglao, and even Heishanyang, she senses them.

It is not their gaze, but someone else.

Finally, her gaze fixed on a cave dwelling, which is Xinran Zhanglao's cave.

That gaze vanished, ultimately disappearing within that cave.

"Who is hidden here?"

"This person is not ordinary; rather, very dangerous."

Bai Xinlan stared at that cave, not shifting her gaze.

Qinglong Daoren sensed her abnormality, naturally knew she had discovered something, and knowingly asked, "Bai Xinlan Daoist, what's wrong with you?"

"What other person is hidden here?" Bai Xinlan pointed at the cave and asked directly.

Qinglong Daoren grinned, laughing, "Bai Xinlan Daoist must have misread; there is nothing here."

"If you don't mind, Azure Dragon fellow Daoist, may I come over and take a look?" Bai Xinlan stared at that cave dwelling; if she didn't go take a look, she wouldn't give up.
