Chapter 1856

The commotion caused by the tribulation's fluctuations was no small matter; Mangshan Demon Palace sealed it off completely, Diewumeng gave the order, and the entire Mangshan Mountain Range forbade anyone from entering—whether forces from Cangzhou or Lingzhou, all were barred from entering the Mangshan Mountain Range.

To ensure Qinglong Daoren could successfully pass his tribulation, all the Tribulation Realm demon beasts of Mangshan Mountain Range came and gathered here; at this moment, this place was the most terrifying spot, and this tribulation arrived quickly and vanished just as fast.

Without a doubt, Qinglong Daoren succeeded in his tribulation and advanced to the Tribulation Realm; this breakthrough gave him the strength to protect himself, so he no longer needed to worry about other Tribulation Realm beings attacking them, and he could use the Longshe Shan Formation to contend with other Strong Ones without needing Chen Chuyang to act on every matter.

Chen Chuyang witnessed this scene and smiled; he naturally saw the people guarding outside, nodded at them, though they could not perceive his presence, and Diewumeng heard Chen Chuyang's voice in her mind.

"The tribulation is over; let us go back."

After receiving the news, Diewumeng immediately dispersed the people around; Bai Qingfrost left cheerfully, she didn't need to do anything—just needed to come here to prove she had been, and Chen Chuyang was surely inside, and would surely have seen her.

Black Tiger also wanted to stay, wanting to meet Qinglong Daoren; he hadn't formally met him yet, and he was also curious what kind of person the master of Longshe Shan really was; if possible, he'd like to make connections—perhaps later he could trade with him alone.

He also needed pills, as did his entourage; they couldn't rely entirely on Diewumeng, for the pills produced by Longshe Shan were far superior to those outside, and they were also cheaper, giving them excellent cost-effectiveness.

"Diewumeng, could you take me into Longshe Shan to meet this Strong One of the Azure Dragon Clan?" Black Tiger shamelessly added the word "Strong One"; their cultivation levels were the same, yet he still honored him with that title—any Tribulation Realm demon beast can be called a Strong One.

"For now, no; if there's a chance later, I can bring you to see him." Diewumeng refused outright—it was a joke, how could she let Black Tiger enter Longshe Shan? This was her secret, and also the key to her controlling Mangshan Demon Palace.

The demon beasts under her command had already pledged their loyalty, and the followers of Black Tiger would soon become her people as well; those individuals were all smart—wanting to grow stronger, they had to join her, for following Black Tiger led nowhere.

Many felt moved; with a little extra effort, they could completely control Mangshan Mountain Range, surpassing Zhang Mang in both fierceness and excellence.

They were all her own people; with a single order she could reach every corner of Mangshan Mountain Range—this was the effect Diewumeng needed. As for Black Tiger and the Bee King, they would remain Demon Kings, but their authority would be severely weakened.

That way, no one could ever… shake her position.

"Diewumeng, really not possible? I promise I won't defy your orders from now on." Black Tiger's voice softened; to meet Qinglong Daoren and obtain more pills, he spoke gently, no longer as before.

"Black Tiger, it's not that I won't take you; I truly cannot."

"The one inside doesn't want to see you for now; next time." Diewumeng found a better excuse to refuse.

Black Tiger frowned: "Alright."

He knew these were excuses; Diewumeng simply didn't want him to meet Qinglong Daoren, Black Tiger had no choice—he couldn't beat Diewumeng now, and if he fought, the surrounding demon beasts would all side with Diewumeng; he's not stupid.

He wouldn't do something that would only bring him boredom.

Black Tiger left.

He left reluctantly.

Diewumeng drove the others away and entered Longshe Shan together with Lan Tiansheng; Lan Tiansheng couldn't be driven off—he was Qinglong Daoren's lackey, and naturally he had to show his loyalty.

Just like that, the commotion in Mangshan Mountain Range ended.

And all of this was noticed by many.

Tian Du Men.

Wu Mie Zhenren and the others gathered in the hall; above them was the Tian Du True Person, several people had grim faces, all looking unpleasant.

Emei True Person spoke: "Mangshan Mountain Range has another demon beast advancing to the Tribulation Realm; if this continues, our Tian Du Men won't even be able to speak of Protector Mangshan Mountain Range—even opposing them would be difficult. After the Corpse Refining Sect's destruction, Mangshan Mountain Range's strength surged forward; if we don't check it, then…"

Once demon beasts become strong, their situation will become very difficult.

This is not what they wanted; after maintaining balance for so many years, the equilibrium has been broken.

"Wu Mie Junior Sister, do you know why Mangshan Demon Palace's strength has surged forward? Logically, they couldn't possibly increase this fast in such a short time." Tian Du True Person asked, genuinely curious.

Even without the Corpse Refining Sect's counterbalance, there were still Tian Du Men and the Chichen Sect watching them, plus many clans; over in Lingzhou, the Mu Long Clan, Tian Xin Sect, and Wan Yao Hall were all watching Mangshan Mountain Range. Normally, Mangshan Demon Palace should be weaker, not like this, with successive breakthroughs into the Tribulation Realm.

All of this defies common sense.

Unlike what they had predicted, the discrepancy is huge. Wu Mie Zhenren bowed and said: "Senior Brother, Junior Sister has investigated—Mangshan Demon Palace's rapid strength increase is inseparable from Longshe Shan; Diewumeng doesn't know what deal she struck with Longshe Shan, obtaining some of its pills."

"This time, it's also Longshe Shan's Qinglong Daoren advancing to the Tribulation Realm; this person is a pill refiner, and his talent in cultivation is also formidable."

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister, Junior Sister have long said that Longshe Shan is very important and worth winning over; especially the pills refined by Qinglong Daoren are highly effective, and the pills we previously traded with him are far superior to our Faction's pills."

"The overall strength of my Dahe Peak has at least doubled; this is the data we've accumulated over the years. Qinglong Daoren's pills are truly excellent, and they aren't even high-grade—if they were high-grade, our Tian Du Men could quickly advance several to the Tribulation Realm."

Wu Mie Zhenren's voice was flat, yet it silenced the entire Dadian.

Tian Du True Person sat above, his expression shifting several times as he leaned forward, asking: "If our Tian Du Men go all out trading with Longshe Shan, could we get back a batch of high-grade pills?"

Ordinary pills aren't what they need; they want high-grade pills, specifically seventh- or eighth-tier pills, whose effects are strong enough to warrant trade.

"It should be possible; Junior Sister can give it a try." Wu Mie Zhenren gritted his teeth—he had no choice but to go to Longshe Shan once more.

Even if she didn't want to face Qinglong Daoren or bring up that topic again, for the sake of Tian Du Men she had to go once more.

"Good, Wu Mie Junior Sister, I'll entrust this to you—this time you go yourself, so don't let Bai Hang take the risk." Tian Du True Person instructed: "Bring more, Emei Junior Sister, you come too, and guarantee the safety of this batch of pills."

Emei True Person stepped forward: "Yes, Senior Brother."

Although no one in Cangzhou would dare move against Tian Du Men's people, one must still guard against the unexpected.
