Chapter 1571: Mu Longjie, Tiangui

"Hahaha, I'm only here to watch the show, not to fight."

"Daoist friend Mu Longjie, if you're not the stronger, I won't step in to help."

Ling Xin Daoist will not meddle in their affairs; this world is very dangerous. He has investigated this world and learned its perils. This time he came mainly to understand the danger of this world.

At the same time, he wants to see whether Mu Longjie and his group can achieve victory; if Mu Longjie succeeds, they will also get a share of the spoils.

He will not join the battle, but when the spoils are shared, he will certainly have a share.

Mu Longjie's smile vanished, turning grim.

"Ling Xin Daoist, that's overstepping. Wanting a share of the spoils without fighting is impossible, unless you also join this battle."

Ling Xin Daoist sneered: "Daoist friend Mu Longjie, is this your opinion or Tiangui Daoist's opinion?"

"Or do both of you think so?"

His hand rested on the hilt; he didn't mind getting involved.

Mu Longjie's gaze turned icy; this person was too audacious, even threatening him. He glanced at the Tiangui Daoist beside him, who hurriedly eased the tension, saying: "Daoist friend Mu Longjie, Daoist friend Ling Xin, don't be angry. Our purpose this time is the same; we must not turn on each other."

"The enemy is watching us from below; don't let him see our jokes."

The Tiangui Daoist didn't want internal strife nor their ranks to fall into chaos. Chen Chuyang was below, watching their jokes. This was not the time to discuss dividing the spoils; that kid is a dangerous person and must be met with strict vigilance.

"Daoist friend Mu Longjie, the big picture matters."

Mu Longjie snorted coldly: "Tiangui Daoist, I'll give you a face; this time I won't argue with him. I hope Daoist friend Ling Xin has some self‑awareness and doesn't… think about picking up a bargain."

Ling Xin Daoist gave a slight smile: "Daoist friend Mu Longjie, your words… are problematic. Let me correct you: don't think I wouldn't dare to lay a hand on you."

The blade was drawn, ready to strike at any moment; if truly provoked, Ling Xin Daoist wouldn't mind killing him first.

Mu Longjie raised his long spear, pointing at Ling Xin Daoist; he would not be courteous to him, nor would he retreat.

Disciples of the Mu Long family behind them surged forward, pressuring Ling Xin Daoist. They had long found him unsightly; he was overbearing and disgusting, and they had never been able to deal with him.

If Elder Mu Longjie were to act, they would definitely swarm him, giving him a taste of their strength.

"Enough, both of you, the big picture matters; don't let a trivial matter damage our harmony."

The Tiangui Daoist immediately stepped between them, not wanting them to fight.

"With a great enemy before us, let's first deal with him, then discuss the rest later, okay?"

Mu Longjie and Ling Xin Daoist snorted coldly; they hadn't intended to act, but didn't want to appear weak and be looked down upon. The Tiangui Daoist naturally saw their thoughts and thus gave them a way out.

After stabilizing the two, the Tiangui Daoist lowered his head, meeting Chen Chuyang's gaze, and then immediately surveyed the entire world.

"Eh?"

"It seems this world has expanded considerably, at least double what it was before."

"It appears that over these years, this world has gained tremendous benefits; the heavenly and earthly spiritual Qi has become more than three times denser. How did he achieve this?"

He had been to this world before; it hadn't been like this. The spiritual Qi was thin, the land barren to death, nothing at all. The only advantage was that the world was relatively intact and more populous.

It is suitable for breeding these people as blood food; when a sacrifice is needed, one can come to this world to reap. At the same time, interesting souls can be cultivated to fulfill certain goals.

Tiangui True Person's favorite are the souls of this world, especially human souls; they are his most beloved and most admired, far superior to the souls beyond Tianwai, much purer.

They are good material for forging Yin Ghosts and for devouring, and the risk is very low, at least ninety percent lower than that of Tianwai.

The most important point is that no matter what they do—how many they kill, what calamities they cause—they will not be safely tracked down, nor need they fear the righteous who slay demons and exterminate monsters.

"What a rich soul aura, so delicious, I really want to eat him."

He stared at Chen Chuyang, inhaling the soul aura emanating from him—extremely dense and pure.

This is the soul he most desires; if he obtains this soul and refines it slightly, he can create a very powerful Yin Ghost, and then within the Yin Gui Sect he would be the sole authority.

Those who resist him will sooner or later be suppressed.

"That kid, I'm certain I'll have him; both of you, don't try to snatch him from me."

Tiangui True Person set his sights on Chen Chuyang, eager to strike him immediately; the man's body is delicious, and his soul likewise.

He longed to go over at once and extract his soul.

The intoxicated Tiangui True Person's face beamed with rapture, his eyes greedy. Mu Longjie warned: "Tiangui Daoist friend, be careful; this person is Chen Chuyang, the strongest in this world, also the one who controls the Heavenly Dao here."

"Do not underestimate this kid; his strength surpasses ours. Let us act together and kill him."

The enemy is only one person; Chen Chuyang came alone. Around him many murderous intents watch them, ready to act. Those people are not strong and are not taken seriously by them.

What Mu Longjie truly cares about is the kid before him—the familiar kid who has caused the Mu Long family many setbacks; he is the biggest variable. This kid must die; killing him would allow Mu Longjie to return to the Mu Long family.

"I know, I smell a dangerous aura on him, a very perilous scent. This kid is strong, but his soul is truly tempting."

"This scent is one I've never encountered; I truly want to eat him."

Tiangui True Person licked his lips, eager to devour him at once.

Mu Longjie turned his head toward Ling Xin Daoist, who shrugged: "Do as you wish; you need not mind me."

Ling Xin Daoist also sized up Chen Chuyang, daring not to underestimate the kid. Before coming to guard, his junior brother Ling Sword had warned him to be careful of Chen Chuyang, to avoid confronting him and not to provoke the kid.

Ling Sword's junior brother is a very arrogant person, and he too was humbled by this kid; one can imagine how outrageous the kid is.

Ling Xin Daoist mainly wanted to see Chen Chuyang in person; after seeing him, he internally affirmed Ling Sword's words.

"Chen Chuyang, indeed very strong."

"Tiangui True Person and Mu Longjie both face disaster; even those behind them have few chances of good fortune."
