Chapter 1800: with translation of chapter title

In Cangzhou, everything is trending toward peace.

Time passed day by day, the disturbance from the Corpse Refining Sect's destruction gradually subsided, no longer as tumultuous as before; such a large sect was just wiped out like that, and many who had not been sacrificed heard the news and were naturally glad to have saved their lives.

Those people broke free from the Corpse Refining Sect's control, no longer needing to live in fear; many families were sensible and directly submitted to the Heavenly Heart Sect and the Accumulated Dust Sect. The families within the territories of the Mangshan Demon Palace were mostly sacrificed, leaving few people; these people were all relocated, with a portion given to the Tian Du Men, personally overseen by Wu Mie Zhenren.

The other portion was handed over to the Accumulated Dust Sect; Feng Ling Zhenren no longer managed these affairs, instead sending a few Elders to handle them, which naturally led to some conflict with the Mangshan Demon Palace; the result was quite miserable—they were beaten and rendered useless.

Lan Tiansheng wouldn't act against them the same way he would against humans; if he weren't unable to kill him, he would have killed him on the spot. At that time, the Mangshan Demon Palace and the Accumulated Dust Sect's Tian Du Men were still allies, so he naturally had to show some restraint and not go too far.

"These trash are really arrogant, do they really think I'm Feng Ling Zhenren? You can call out however you like, hum."

"I'm not killing them just to give them face; if they dare act arrogant in front of me again, I don't mind sending them on their way."

Lan Tiansheng loudly threatened them, confronting the three Elders face to face; they dared not speak, unable to win in numbers or strength, lacking any advantage. Moreover, this is the Mangshan Demon Palace's territory, and Lan Tiansheng acting on his own turf leaves no one with a reason to object.

The three Elders slunk away, not daring to look back or act arrogant; Lingjian Zhenren said lightly, 'These few people aren't pushovers; although their strength isn't great, their ability to cause trouble is formidable—be careful they don't smear your reputation after they return and then have the Accumulated Dust Sect act against you.'

Lan Tiansheng snorted disdainfully, saying, 'Tch, do I fear them? What is the Accumulated Dust Sect? As long as the Tian Du Men don't intervene, I have nothing to fear.'

The Accumulated Dust Sect is still not enough to threaten him; Lan Tiansheng has no fear.

Not everyone is the Tian Du Longwang; the Tian Du Men are indeed powerful, but that isn't because of the Tian Du Longwang. The Tian Du Longwang whose lifespan was replenished has received many elixirs, his strength will keep increasing, and his terrifying talent will manifest again—by then they will see an even more terrifying Tian Du Longwang, and the people of the Tian Du Men are not as arrogant as those three from the Accumulated Dust Sect.

These three Elders are inferior to Feng Ling Zhenren in strength and background compared to Wu Mie Zhenren and his ilk, yet they are more arrogant; such people daring to act wantonly before him, Lan Tiansheng will not indulge them—if force is needed to intimidate, he will use it, needing to give no one face.

"You're formidable, Lan Tiansheng; your changes are great, your strength increases quickly—can you tell me the reason?" Lingjian Zhenren personally witnessed Lan Tiansheng's strength increase, which is incredibly fast, isn't it?

That rate of increase completely defies common sense—it has reached the first level of Asking Truth, and it's still rising swiftly.

From seeking the Dao to Asking Truth, how long did this person take? Monster beasts' cultivation naturally rises slowly; one level requires decades or even a century to advance—that's their drawback. Otherwise, with long lifespans and great strength, they… would still rise swiftly—what else could humans do?

Lan Tiansheng's rate of increase defies common sense; unless he is an old monster who seized a body and been reborn, he couldn't have such speed—clearly, he is not.

Lingjian Zhenren hadn't previously paid close attention to Lan Tiansheng, but his change is huge; within the Mangshan Demon Palace, his transformation is the greatest, and the other demon beasts' strength increases are also obvious—this change naturally cannot escape Lingjian Zhenren's notice.

Based solely on combat, such an obvious increase couldn't happen; if this continues, the Mangshan Demon Palace will swiftly rise, even overwhelm the Tian Du Men, becoming the strongest force in Cangzhou—this cannot be allowed; we must find a way to learn their secret of rapid cultivation.

Lan Tiansheng stared deeply at Lingjian Zhenren, his eyes turning cold.

"You really want to know?"

This secret must not be known to humans, especially Lingjian Zhenren.

Lingjian Zhenren frowned: 'Naturally I want to know—will you tell me?'

Lan Tiansheng shook his head: 'No.'

Lingjian Zhenren: '…'

If you won't tell me, why ask so much—are you just messing with me?

"Lan Tiansheng, your changes are great, and."

Lingjian Zhenren's words trailed off; their changes began only after that person arrived at the Mangshan Mountain Range—that is, their changes are closely related to Chen Chuyang, whom others don't understand, but Lingjian Zhenren knows very well.

That kid is a pill refiner, and his pill-refining talent is extraordinarily heaven-defying; coincidentally, he's also on Longshe Shan, so I can go there again.

My junior sister is indeed a talent; she cannot be left here to waste her talent.

If I bind my junior sister, perhaps I can also bind Chen Chuyang; earlier, his decision went wrong, causing everything to collapse.

Lingjian Zhenren changed strategy, no longer using the previous methods but adopting a different approach, which might salvage everything.

He believes he can certainly convince his junior sister, and can convince Chen Chuyang.

"And what?" Lan Tiansheng stepped closer, a flicker of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"Nothing, nothing." Lingjian Zhenren shook his head, unable to voice his suspicions or expose them; he looked toward Longshe Shan and asked, 'Lan Tiansheng, may I take a trip to Longshe Shan?'

Lan Tiansheng narrowed his eyes into a slit, staring at Lingjian Zhenren, that killing intent growing ever more obvious.

"Don't misunderstand, I'm going to find my junior sister—you know her, Elder Xinran; she is my junior sister, and I am also an old acquaintance of the master of Longshe Shan, not here to cause trouble." Lingjian Zhenren hurriedly explained, knowing this person had murderous intent; if he didn't explain, this person would truly act.

Lingjian Zhenren does not want to fight here; he could suppress Lan Tiansheng, but he cannot directly face Diewumeng.

This is demon beast territory; he dare not act recklessly.

Besides, he didn't come to cause trouble, so naturally he wouldn't do that.

"Really?" Lan Tiansheng doubted greatly.

Lingjian Zhenren said firmly: 'Really, I've been to Longshe Shan once; if you don't want to bring me, you can clear a path and I'll go myself.'

He doesn't want to provoke trouble, nor clash with those demon beasts; Lan Tiansheng can have those demon beasts not act against him, and he naturally won't act either.

"Fine, I'll take you there; if you dare make any move, I'll kill you." Lan Tiansheng threatened, this human is not trustworthy—seeing him speak so confidently, Lan Tiansheng dare not act on his own; if what he says is all true, then blocking him would only earn the grudge of those two.
