Chapter 1438: Lan Tiansheng's Methods

Outside the Formation, after Xu Kong Wang entered the Formation, Lan Tiansheng's figure gradually appeared, transforming from a piece of grass into a man; he looked around, found no one, no trace at all, only himself alone.

He stared at the direction Xu Kong Wang departed, clicking his tongue in wonder: "Click-click, didn't expect Xu Kong Wang to still enter the Formation; his nerve is huge, very bold. With so many in Mangshan Demon Palace, only he dares to go in."

"I thought he would hold out for a few more years before entering, but he went in after all."

"The master is inside waiting for him; I wonder what Xu Kong Wang's reaction will be when he sees the master."

"Should I go in and take a look?"

After thinking, Lan Tiansheng shook his head; he cannot go in for now, nor may he, at least his relationship with the master must stay hidden, even though he can't hide it from others, but it's better not to stir trouble.

"Diewumeng has left the sect; this woman is very dangerous. If we can win her over, perhaps we can act against the Demon Emperor."

Lan Tiansheng looked toward Mangshan Demon Palace; that Demon Emperor was injured, and he is now anxious, wanting to kill them.

To control Mangshan Demon Palace, the Mangshan Demon Emperor must certainly kill some people, killing chickens to warn monkeys, so others dare not act or cause trouble.

Otherwise, if other Demon Kings unite against him, it would not only insult his dignity but trample him directly; as a Demon Emperor, he cannot be challenged—his dignity must not be provoked.

Over the years, the Mangshan Demon Emperor has upheld the Demon Emperor's majesty and mystery, preventing other demonic beasts from daring any rebellion; this move was very well played and successful—he successfully Protectored Mangshan Demon Palace, and the Demon Kings under him dare not defy or act against him.

Now, the Mangshan Demon Emperor is injured, unable to Protector those people; no one can guarantee that those beneath will… give him peace of mind.

Lan Tiansheng is targeting this chance; while the Demon Emperor hasn't reacted, he will act immediately. The other Demon Kings are cunning, not so easy to scheme; even if cooperating, they may not cooperate with him.

The Demon Emperors who have survived to today have endured countless battles; they value their own lives highly, and once danger arises, they will flee instantly, never staying to await death.

"Diewumeng is a dangerous person and very clever; cooperating with her is unsafe."

"But she can be used."

"Bai Xinlan might cooperate once; her relationship with the master is close, and befriending her would benefit me."

"As for Feng Wang and Hei Hu, those two are also not simple; they cannot be underestimated."

The four great Demon Kings of Mangshan are each formidable.

Dealing with them is not easy; these four usually operate separately, each on their own.

When danger arises, they immediately join forces to face the enemy together.

The two Dharma Protectors are the same; among the four Demon Kings, one person is very special.

The out-of-place person rarely appears and seldom talks with them; Lan Tiansheng knows exactly whose person that is, and he does not wish to win them over.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but he cannot win them over; that person is the Demon Emperor's subordinate.

"Among the four Demon Kings, one remains inactive; once Mangshan Snake King acts, it will be a certain kill."

"I wonder who the Mangshan Snake King will cut this time?"

Is it one of the other three Demon Kings, or one of the two Dharma Protectors?

Bai Xinlan is the biggest suspect; if he teams up with Bai Xinlan, there will be unexpected gains.

"Bai Xinlan will definitely ally with me; our cooperation makes the other Demon Kings negligible."

"At least Xu Kong Wang will certainly be killed; when he dies, we don't know yet."

Lan Tiansheng is not optimistic about Xu Kong Wang; this time Xu Kong Wang is injured, his subordinates have largely defected, only a few remain with him, and those are not a concern.

Currently, Xu Kong Wang cannot die; if he dies, it would be worse.

"I will first seek cooperation with Bai Xinlan, then find others; the others can be coaxed and schemed."

After success, he will return to the master to claim merit, and his status will further rise.

Lan Tiansheng decided what to do and acted directly.

Inside the Formation.

Xu Kong Wang stared at the surrounding Formation, brow furrowed, looked around, saw no trace of the Formation, yet felt its pressure.

The lingering mists also blocked his sight and Spiritual Sense, preventing him from seeing farther; entering this place was like being blind, seeing nothing.

He waved his hand to disperse the mists, but found he could not.

The mists clung tightly around him; his divine power was useless; Xu Kong Wang tried several times, ultimately failing.

He stopped waving his hand and instead stared at the surrounding Formation, brow furrowed.

"This Formation is not simple, not an ordinary Formation; breaking through it is not that easy."

"The one who set up this Formation must be a Formation Master."

The Formation skill is not low, indeed very high.

"No flaws, no Formation eye seen; this place is very strange."

"Those who entered this place before all fell here."

The ground still bore skeletal remains, showing the tragic faces of those who died; all fell here, and they seemed very unwilling, unable to break the Formation, having only the path of falling.

Stepping on the corpses, Xu Kong Wang walked forward for a while, yet saw no trace.

The mists enveloped him, returning him to the starting point.

It happened the same way several times in a row.

Xu Kong Wang had to stop, solemnly watching the surrounding Formation; the mists covered the Formation, making its shape invisible and thus impossible to break. This tactic is very useful; the mists are highly dangerous—if you ignore them, you will die a terrible death.

"These mists are not simple; my flesh-and-blood demonic power is rapidly weakening."

"Someone ahead is watching me."

Xu Kong Wang sensed a gaze from afar and immediately rushed toward that direction.

Soon, he saw Qinglong Daoren standing before him, awaiting his arrival.

Qinglong Daoren, seeing Xu Kong Wang, gestured: "Please sit."

The surroundings quickly coalesced; a table and chairs appeared before him, with steaming tea floating.

"Comrade Xu Kong Wang, no need for formalities; your coming to Longshe Shan is an honor for Longshe Shan."

Xu Kong Wang stared at Qinglong Daoren, trying to see through him entirely.

However, he was disappointed; he could not see, could not pierce.

After a while, Xukong Wang sat down, his eyes never moving, staring continuously at Qinglong Daoren, fearing that he would suddenly make a move.
