Chapter 1447: The Layout of Tian Du Men

Tian Du Men.

Holy Maiden Bai Hang reported: "Master, there is new movement inside the Mangshan Mountain Range; the Void Forget seems about to fight the Mangshan Demon Emperor, but for some reason it stopped, and a batch of our people were also cleared out. It looks like something big really happened at the Mangshan Demon Palace."

"People from the Corpse Refining Sect are also heading toward the Mangshan Mountain Range; the Extreme Yin Corpse General has been lingering around the range, seemingly searching for something. It is probably because something was lost during the Yellow‑White families' war, making him so eager to retrieve it."

"The Mangshan Demon Palace is being watched by many; the Mangshan Demon Emperor has been hiding inside the palace, rarely emerging. It seems the rumors are true—the haughty Demon Emperor is injured and needs treatment."

"Should we intervene inside the Mangshan Demon Palace, stir internal conflict, so that the palace can be divided and the Mangshan Mountain Range can return to its former state, fragmenting and opposing each other?"

In the past, the interior of the Mangshan Mountain Range was crystal clear; Demon Kings each occupied their own territories and fought one another.

At some point the Mangshan Demon Palace appeared, and the interior of the Mangshan Mountain Range became unified. Since then the palace has controlled everything; trying to fragment them and revert to the old ways is not that easy.

For many years the Mangshan Demon Palace has been as steady as an iron barrel—incapable of being broken through, and also unable… to fragment.

The Mangshan Demon Emperor controls everything; those Demon Kings dare not betray, nor be the first to stand against the Mangshan Demon Palace—no one wants to be the conspicuous traitor.

Wu Mie Zhenren furrowed his brows: "It seems many major events have indeed occurred within the Mangshan Mountain Range. It's best if chaos erupts; Bai Hang, do not meddle in the Mangshan Demon Palace's affairs. Let them continue the turmoil; we must never let them return to peace."

"Secretly support a few Demon Kings and help them become independent; as for our people, we should not enter there."

"You focus on cultivation; I'll discuss this with the sect head senior brother, and I trust he'll know what to do."

Holy Maiden Bai Hang's cultivation is still not strong enough to confront what's happening in the Mangshan Mountain Range; she cannot become entangled in it.

"Master, what about our deal with Daoist Qinglong?" Bai Hang asked anxiously.

If we don't enter the Mangshan Mountain Range, we cannot approach Daoist Qinglong, let alone complete the deal.

The trade channel between them has been opened, establishing a basic trust; abruptly cutting it off would benefit neither side.

Many seek the pills; external sects and families all desire Daoist Qinglong's pills. Holy Maiden Bai Hang is not willing to give them up easily. The pills are of very high quality, and most importantly, they are not expensive.

"Maintain the course, but be careful. Our Great River Peak needs to rise, and we'll need his pills; at a critical moment we can have him seek refuge at our Tian Du Men."

"If possible, letting him join our Tian Du Men isn't out of the question."

If it's just the two of them, they naturally cannot shelter Daoist Qinglong.

He is someone who received a promise from the Dragon King, so he can naturally join the Tian Du Men.

With Daoist Qinglong's addition, Tian Du Men will control Cangzhou; the day is near.

I'm sure the sect head senior brother will be delighted and excited to accept his presence.

"Master, I understand. I'll try my best to see if we can have him join our Great River Peak." Holy Maiden Bai Hang wants Daoist Qinglong to join Great River Peak rather than other peaks.

The Tian Du Men also have their own distinctions; each peak differs from the others.

They naturally consider Great River Peak's interests; as for other peaks, they won't want such a dangerous person.

"No problem, you handle it." Wu Mie Zhenren waved his hand, leaving Holy Maiden Bai Hang to take care of it herself.

"Yes, Master." Holy Maiden Bai Hang smiled; she wanted exactly the Master's attitude and also needed his nod—other matters she could handle herself.

Wu Mie Zhenren instructed: "In recent years, avoid the Mangshan Mountain Range as much as possible; before the Dragon King comes out of his seal, you must not go there."

"Yes, Master." Holy Maiden Bai Hang clasped her hands and replied; she naturally understood what the Master was worried about.

The Tian Du Dragon King is the patron deity of their Tian Du Men; since he has not emerged, nothing can be done recklessly. During this period, Tian Du Men will remain quiet, summoning all personnel back to guard the Tian Du Dragon King, allowing no accidents.

They also naturally must not cause trouble for the Tian Du Dragon King; they must wait patiently.

"Go then." Wu Mie Zhenren waved his hand, sending Holy Maiden Bai Hang away.

Holy Maiden Bai Hang clasped her hands in a bow and slowly stepped back.

A moment later.

The figure of Tian Du True Person gradually solidified, standing beside Wu Mie Zhenren with arms crossed behind his back.

"Senior brother, you've worked hard these past days." Wu Mie Zhenren spoke first.

Tian Du True Person waved a hand: "The Dragon King's safety is paramount; all other matters can be postponed. Junior sister, keep an eye on your disciple, don't let her act recklessly, and don't let her go to Longshe Shan."

"At the very least, before the Dragon King emerges, she must stay within the Faction."

Wu Mie Zhenren nodded: "Senior brother, rest assured, Bai Hang won't act recklessly. Her current task is to stay around the Tian Du Dragon King and guard the surrounding safety."

Tian Du True Person nodded with satisfaction; he was pleased with this junior sister's arrangement.

"The Corpse Refining Sect has been restless lately; the Extreme Yin Corpse General seems to be searching for a coffin, and inside that coffin should be a zombie with Corpse King potential. It must not be found."

"The Corpse Refining Sect cannot have another Corpse King. Junior sister, you know those lunatics of the Sect—once they gain another Corpse King, they won't stay calm."

"The Mangshan Demon Palace is indeed dangerous, but it cannot threaten us."

The Mangshan Demon Palace has always been fragmented; each Demon King has his own scheme. Though they claim unity, in fact each harbors hidden motives.

The Corpse Refining Sect is different; those lunatics will do anything for a Corpse King.

They need corpses, various flesh and blood; only war can satisfy them. Ordinary mortal flesh cannot; only the flesh of cultivators is the Corpse Refining Sect's favorite.

The Yellow‑White families' war was also a masterpiece of the Corpse Refining Sect; the Extreme Yin Corpse General was merely a pawn they deployed. In reality, it reflected the whole Sect's thinking, and that war brought the Sect many benefits.

If they were to forge another Corpse King, Tian Du Men could become very dangerous.

"I know what to do, senior brother. I'll keep an eye on the Extreme Yin Corpse General." Wu Mie Zhenren understood the seriousness, and also the danger of the Corpse Refining Sect; they must not be allowed to grow stronger.

When the time comes, they will face not only the Mangshan Demon Palace but also the Corpse Refining Sect.

The Ji Chen Sect has always been low‑key; they have their own schemes and are wary of each other.

Besides that, there is another dangerous family.

The Mu Long family's hand also reaches into Cangzhou, though where they hide is unknown.
