Chapter 1552

Outside the bustling Mangshan Mountain Range, many people watched the battle between Wu Mie Zhenren and Jiang Tiansheng; the reinforcements from Tian Du Men had not yet arrived and were still on their way, while the number of onlookers around kept increasing. These people did not intervene but chose to stand aside and watch, putting great pressure on Wu Mie Zhenren and Jiang Tiansheng.

Wu Mie Zhenren gripped the Heaven Intent Sword, without striking again, and said, "Jiang Tiansheng, many people nearby are watching us both; continuing the fight benefits neither of us, so stand down."

Jiang Tiansheng's expression darkened as he withdrew his corpse qi and stopped fighting. He clearly realized that continuing would bring no benefit to either side, his goal would not be achieved, and he could not quickly overcome these two. The people from Tian Du Men were already on their way, while his own men would not come here— the Corpse Refining Sect would certainly not help him; they would rather see him fall into trouble.

Those people around are not easy to provoke— each one is more troublesome than the last.

Especially the members of the Mu Long family, who were hiding nearby, thinking they were well concealed; in fact, Jiang Tiansheng had spotted their movements, though he did not expose them. The two tacitly agreed to stop fighting, and Jiang Tiansheng said, "Wu Mie Zhenren, if we cooperate, it will be all benefit and no harm."

"I have come sincerely seeking cooperation, not to cause you trouble."

Wu Mie Zhenren let out a cold snort: "If you truly seek cooperation, why did you attack my disciple? Is this your sincerity?"

To dare to act against her disciple, trying to silently take him away, and even threatening her disciple to go to Longshe Shan to work for him, offering no benefit at all, and making Bai Hang Holy Maiden bear the risk— this is the sincerity of the First Corpse General, Jiang Tiansheng. If it weren't for her worry about her disciple and her coming along, he might have already succeeded.

This debt cannot be left unsettled; afterward, she will surely settle accounts with the Corpse Refining Sect.

But now is not the time to settle scores.

"Wu Mie Zhenren, you have misunderstood; I only wish to cooperate with her, with no intention of forcing her." Jiang Tiansheng still wanted to explain further, but Wu Mie Zhenren raised his hand, pointing the Heaven Intent Sword at him, unwilling to hear more nonsense.

"Enough, First Corpse General Jiang Tiansheng, there's nothing more for us to discuss; this ends here." Wu Mie Zhenren wanted to leave, not wanting to attract the attention of the Mu Long family or the Demon Kings of Mangshan Demon Palace; this battle had nothing to do with Tian Du Men.

After the transaction is completed, Tian Du Men will not interfere in their affairs; as for what they wish to do, that is their own business.

These people are all heading for Longshe Shan; she will not help, merely acting as a bystander, assisting neither side— this is Tian Du Men's greatest sincerity, and also their greatest aid to Longshe Shan.

Whether it be the Corpse Refining Sect, the Mu Long family, or any other power, Tian Du Men wishes to offend none; at least, the current Tian Du Men does not want to start a conflict with them, for His Excellency the Tian Du Dragon King is still healing, and Tian Du Men wishes to avoid trouble.

It is best to settle matters peacefully; as for the grievance suffered by disciple Bai Hang, we will endure for now, and after His Excellency the Tian Du Dragon King leaves seclusion, we will seek trouble with the Corpse Refining Sect— then it will not be a matter of words, but of thunderous action.

Bai Hang Holy Maiden understands this well, as does Wu Mie Zhenren, and naturally the First Corpse General Jiang Tiansheng knows too; he stares at Wu Mie Zhenren and Bai Hang Holy Maiden before him, feeling deeply… uneasy, unwilling to let them just leave, for his plan is not yet complete— he does not know the whereabouts of Lian Hongchen, nor the location of that Black Wood Coffin.

His plan had not even begun before it failed; he feels great regret, thinking he should have acted directly back then instead of waiting until now.

Wu Mie Zhenren turned and left; the First Corpse General Jiang Tiansheng frowned, raised his hand, yet still did not stop them.

Seeing them off, he then glanced around and vanished as well.

A battle ended before it even began.

The onlookers Mu Long Jie and others furrowed their brows; the two fighters' battle ended too quickly, with nothing happening before they dispersed, acting very decisively.

Seeing this, the Second Elder of the Mu Long people said, "Enough, they have discovered our movements; these folks are truly troublesome, spotting our whereabouts so quickly."

"This battle cannot continue; they are all smart people, and if we kept fighting, it would only benefit us."

"After so many years in seclusion, have outsiders become this capable? They say stop and the fight stops, without a hint of hesitation."

The Second Elder of the Mu Long people was quite astonished that the two fighters' battle had stopped, with no continuation.

It is obvious that they discovered our presence and realized we were scouting; continuing to fight would only benefit the Mu Long family, ultimately making us their prey. The two would be better off stopping, as there is no deadly enmity between them, and there is no need to fight on.

They are all very rational people, not easily tricked nor prone to losing their heads.

The people of Tian Du Men arrived, quickly met with Wu Mie Zhenren, and brought Bai Hang Holy Maiden back.

The First Corpse General Jiang Tiansheng vanished from the spot, leaving no trace; the Mu Long people ordered, "Mu Long Jie, we should still study Longshe Shan— how to act against them?"

"Relying on us alone to directly charge into the Mangshan Mountain Range is unlikely; even approaching Longshe Shan is difficult. We need to find an ally to distract the Mangshan Demon Palace, so we can focus on dealing with Longshe Shan."

"Jiang Tiansheng would make a decent ally; we can try to win him over."

The Mu Long person turned and spoke toward the darkness nearby: "First Corpse General Jiang Tiansheng, Excellency, what do you think?"

Mu Long Jie and the others turned their heads, looking toward the darkness beside them; a figure emerged, walked straight into the formation, and came before them. Jiang Tiansheng glanced at the few people, recognized their identities, and smiled, "It turns out to be several elders of the Mu Long family; long time no see, your bearing remains as before."

His gaze fell upon the Second Elder of the Mu Long people, and he instantly understood their purpose.

To avenge the death of the Mu Long family's Great Elder, Mu Long Di, and also to enter Longshe Shan; although I do not know why they wish to do this, one thing is certain: their purpose is the same.

"How do you wish to cooperate?" Jiang Tiansheng asked, grinning at the Mu Long person before him.

The Mu Long person did not answer, but narrowed his eyes and gazed toward the other side of the sky.

Jiang Tiansheng followed his gaze; the several people remained silent, all staring in that direction. After a moment, the two locked eyes.

The Mu Long person said, "The Six-Eyed Demon King of the Myriad Demon Hall has arrived, and we have already reached an advance agreement with our Mu Long family; for this battle, let us join forces— First Corpse General, Excellency, why not fight together? How about it?"

Jiang Tiansheng pondered for a moment, then nodded, saying, "Of course; I only want what is mine, and I can refrain from seizing your other possessions."

"No problem; this elder only needs to station himself in the Mangshan Mountain Range and overthrow Longshe Shan. As for other matters, First Corpse General, Excellency, you may take your pick first." The Second Elder of the Mu Long people waved his hand, agreeing to his request.

This battle requires more allies; since their purpose is the same, why not join forces?

Reduce risk, increase the chance of success.

"Good."
