Chapter 1731

"Lan Tiansheng, what do you mean by the Tian Du Dragon King's final look?" Diewumeng wondered what the Tian Du Dragon King's final glance at her meant, filled with mocking eyes, as if seeing through all her disguises.

The secret she had always hidden, not wanting the Tian Du Dragon King to discover it, seemed to have been seen through by him.

Lan Tiansheng explained: "Diewumeng, it's possible he saw through you."

"You mean?"

"Not bad, the Tian Du Dragon King is no fool; since he came to the Mangshan Mountain Range, he will surely visit Longshe Shan, and then everything will naturally be known to him—our concealment won't work." Lan Tiansheng answered truthfully.

Diewumeng did not want the Tian Du Dragon King to see that she had become Chen Chuyang's woman; naturally she also did not want to expose it too early, she had been hiding it all along, but unexpectedly, she was still seen through.

"The Tian Du Dragon King lives up to his name; this person is very likely to rise again. Previously, he was hindered by lack of resources, had no pills, could not advance quickly, merely clinging to life. Now it's different—he has his husband's pills; an eighth-grade pill can replenish his losses. Once his wounds heal, advancement is just a matter of time."

"This person's potential is far greater than yours and mine; the Tian Du Dragon King will not merely scrape by—this person is not simple."

The Tian Du Dragon King harbors great ambitions, always hiding within Tian Du Men, protecting Tian Du Men, and likewise using Tian Du Men to help him gather various resources, heal his wounds, and advance.

Unfortunately, over these years the Tian Du Dragon King has merely maintained his current realm, unable to advance; if not for obtaining Chen Chuyang's pills, he might still be as he was before. Over these years his losses have been considerable; without replenishment, breakthrough is impossible.

For a dragon king of his stature, wanting to replenish his losses is not that simple.

Tian Du Men has gathered materials for many years yet still cannot achieve this; ordinary spiritual herbs are useless to him, at least eighth- or ninth-grade spiritual herbs have some effect; if he obtained a holy herb, that would be best, but alas holy herbs are exceedingly rare, they will not appear easily, nor will anyone find them.

When a spiritual herb becomes holy, it gains wisdom and knows how to hide.

Within Cangzhou, the heavenly and earthly spiritual qi is inherently insufficient, inferior to other provinces; giving birth to a holy herb there is unlikely.

Even if a holy herb were born, capturing it would not be easy.

Without good fortune and karmic affinity, one cannot encounter a holy herb; even if encountered, it cannot be seized.

"The Tian Du Dragon King is indeed strong; after all, he has suppressed Cangzhou for several thousand years, so he cannot be underestimated."

"Before he had bodily problems and could not break through; now his body seems mostly recovered, estimated to soon undergo tribulation. Diewumeng, you must speed up, cannot let him pull too far ahead."

"This time moving against the Corpse Refining Sect, he surely received some news and proactively came to discuss this matter; the Corpse Refining Sect certainly has what he wants."

Lan Tiansheng guessed that whatever could make the Tian Du Dragon King come in person must not be a minor matter.

In the past, such matters did not require his personal presence; letting Tian Du Men's people come to cooperate sufficed. His personal adventurous arrival indicates there must be some inside information unknown to them.

Diewumeng frowned and said: "Lan Tiansheng, are you saying the Tian Du Dragon King is hiding something?"

"Not bad, certainly there is concealment."

"Then go investigate—see what the Corpse Refining Sect is actually doing, what thing could make the Tian Du Dragon King so concerned?" Diewumeng grew anxious; she did not want to be schemed against, nor remain in the dark.

"Yes."

Lan Tiansheng turned and vanished.

Diewumeng clasped her hands behind her back, gazing toward Longshe Shan: "Tian Du Dragon King, what exactly do you intend to do?"

On Longshe Shan.

Qinglong Daoren greeted the Tian Du Dragon King; the Tian Du Dragon King scanned the surroundings, seeking Chen Chuyang, but found he was not there.

"Your Excellency Tian Du Dragon King, may I ask why you have come this time?"

The Tian Du Dragon King smiled: "This king wishes to meet him."

Qinglong Daoren stared for a moment, then apologized: "Sorry, Your Excellency Tian Du Dragon King, he is not here."

"When will he return?"

"Still unknown."

Qinglong Daoren asked again: "Your Excellency Tian Du Dragon King, is there any matter?"

The Tian Du Dragon King glanced at the people around, noticing Bai Xinlan, who had also ascended the mountain and become a person of Longshe Shan.

Then, thinking of Diewumeng, the Tian Du Dragon King involuntarily narrowed his eyes, fixed on Qinglong Daoren, as if the Mangshan Mountain Range had been taken by him.

"Your Excellency Tian Du Dragon King, rest assured, these are all our own people, no problem." Qinglong Daoren waved his hand, yet still set up a formation, sealing the perimeter; though he said that, precautions were still necessary when needed.

One must give the Tian Du Dragon King face, but cannot be overconfident.

The Tian Du Dragon King smiled: "Daoist friend, you are truly formidable; it seems the Mangshan Mountain Range has been taken by you."

Upon hearing this, Qinglong Daoren's smile stiffened; he hastily waved his hands: "No, no such thing, Your Excellency Dragon King, you are mistaken; I do not have that ability, the Mangshan Mountain Range belongs to the Mangshan Demon Palace, not to me."

"Really?" The Tian Du Dragon King obviously did not believe that.

"This king just came from Diewumeng; Diewumeng has changed, no longer a girl, she and Bai Xinlan are alike, both bear his aura; they can fool others, but not this king. Daoist friend Qinglong, do you still wish to hide from this king?"

The Tian Du Dragon King did not want to say these words to his face; in truth, Qinglong Daoren still wanted to deceive him.

"Cough cough cough, Your Excellency Dragon King has keen eyes; Diewumeng and Bai Xinlan have indeed become mistresses of Longshe Shan, yet our Longshe Shan does not control the Mangshan Mountain Range—the demon sovereign of the Mangshan Mountain Range is still Diewumeng."

"It's merely that our relationship has changed; everything else remains as before."

The Tian Du Dragon King does not believe such talk; having become husband and wife, how could things remain as before?

In name, the Mangshan Mountain Range is controlled by Diewumeng; in fact, there is still a distinction—if you speak up, will Diewumeng not act?

The two are essentially one family; in a sense, Longshe Shan controls the Mangshan Mountain Range—this is true.

They cannot avoid admitting it; the Tian Du Dragon King did not expect Longshe Shan to act so swiftly, to capture Diewumeng so quickly—no wonder Diewumeng has changed so greatly; given Diewumeng's nature, she would not be easily deceived.

Unless, she has truly taken a liking to Chen Chuyang.

"Daoist friend Chen Chuyang has fine means." The Tian Du Dragon King sighed: that person acted too swiftly, and was too formidable.

The Tian Du Dragon King greatly admires him; within Cangzhou, few can earn his respect, Chen Chuyang is certainly the first.

"No, no, cannot compare to Your Excellency Dragon King." Qinglong Daoren dared not reply; this Tian Du Dragon King is too clever, his eyes too sharp, seeing through everything at a glance.

No wonder he could suppress Cangzhou for so many years; it relies not merely on brute force.
