Chapter 1891: Yi Menghan Enters Mangshan

In the next half‑day, Elder Mingxu received hospitality from the Mangshan Demon Palace, and Lan Tiansheng went to discuss the concrete details with him—when to act, when to set up the layout, how to lure the Kunpeng Guardian, how to kill him; many matters needed to be negotiated and prepared in advance.

Such a large‑scale operation could not be carried out haphazardly, nor could any mistake occur; it had to be meticulously arranged, with no slip at all. At the very least, they must ensure the slaying of the Kunpeng Guardian—this was their first joint killing, they lacked experience, so there were many points to mind.

Many details required special attention; Lan Tiansheng handled these matters with full authority. After the discussion was essentially finished, Elder Mingxu returned, and they reached a preliminary agreement. Lan Tiansheng reported to Diewumeng, conveying every detail—how to lay out the plan, etc. —and told Diewumeng Yi Yi Shi.

There were many matters, and they were very detailed; Diewumeng didn't want to hear too much. They waved a hand: "Enough, no need to report to me. Just handle it as you see fit. This matter is extremely important, concerning the safety of Longshe Shan; the Kunpeng Guardian will definitely go to Longshe Shan, so everything should be arranged around Longshe Shan."

"As for the Luotian White Snake Clan, you also need to communicate well; no mistakes can be allowed. And be careful of those people in Lingzhou; they cannot be fully trusted. If we act, I might not be able to control them, so keep an eye on them."

Lan Tiansheng nodded: "No problem, Diewumeng, rest assured. I'll send people to keep watch."

"Dealing with the Kunpeng Guardian won't be easy; we'll need more Tribulation Realm Strong Ones to be able to slay him. Have you thought about whom to recruit?"

Diewumeng frowned, thought for a moment, and then thought of only the Heavenly Capital Dragon King, nothing else came to mind.

"I only thought of the Heavenly Capital Dragon King alone; the others may not necessarily come to help. This matter has nothing to do with them."

That was the concern: Cangzhou was also very complicated; to get those people to help would require a huge price, a price too great for her to accept, and those people might not agree, let alone risk coming.

After all, that is the Kunpeng Guardian; killing him would offend the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.

"Then first notify the Heavenly Capital Dragon King, have him tell the others. This matter concerns the survival of our Cangzhou, the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons is ambitious; once they unify Lingzhou, our Cangzhou will also suffer. The principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth feel the cold' should be clear to them."

"The Hall of Ten Thousand Demons is not the Mu Long Clan, nor the Heavenly Heart Sect; our Mangshan Mountain Range can block them. If the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons truly moves, we cannot stop them."

"Moreover, by killing the Kunpeng Guardian together, those forces will be driven completely to the opposite side of the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, which also benefits our Cangzhou. This matter's benefit outweighs its harm." Lan Tiansheng thought that anyone who wasn't a fool would agree to this.

There are many advantages: after killing the Kunpeng Guardian, the first targets won't be them but the sects of Lingzhou; in that case Lingzhou cannot control them nor invade Cangzhou, and during this period they can develop rapidly.

If the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons acts, it will inevitably cause massive casualties to the forces in Lingzhou, greatly weakening Lingzhou's power—why not do it?

"That's true, slaying the Kunpeng Guardian carries great risk; the risk is huge, and those people don't want to take that gamble." Diewumeng knew the human mindset: they all want to watch the tigers fight from the mountain and reap the fisherman's profit; getting them to act is difficult.

"But we must try; let the Heavenly Capital Dragon King speak. We only need to persuade the Heavenly Capital Dragon King." Lan Tiansheng said cautiously.

"Alright, I'll try. If it truly fails, let Qinglong Daoren go and speak to the Heavenly Capital Dragon King. Didn't he already form a marriage alliance with Tian Du Men? This is a perfect chance to use that alliance." Diewumeng said with a sour tone.

Lan Tiansheng fell silent at once, daring not to speak further; this matter he could not intervene in.

In their affairs, whoever touches them dies.

"Lan Tiansheng, go set up the arrangements, and also inform the Luotian White Snake Clan and the Black Tiger side, have them prepare. Oh, and the Bee King too; tell him that this old thing is probably hiding somewhere to break through."

"Soon we'll receive news of his Advancement into the Tribulation Realm."

"Understood." Lan Tiansheng immediately went to make the arrangements; little time remained for him.

They must make thorough preparations to ensure they can slay the Kunpeng Guardian, and must not let the master be in danger.

The Mangshan Mountain Range entered the preparation phase, and the Luotian White Snake Clan also began to act.

After Bi Luo Chun left Longshe Shan, he did not depart immediately; instead he found a place to hide. He could not leave the Mangshan Mountain Range, needing to wait for the Kunpeng Guardian's arrival. He naturally observed the changes in the Mangshan Mountain Range and knew what was happening.

Three days later.

Bi Luo Chun waited for a person, a person he had cast aside: Yi Menghan entered the Mangshan Mountain Range and, having found this place nearby, seemed to be searching for his location. Bi Luo Chun frowned: "He actually managed to find this place; did he leave a mark on me? That shouldn't be; he left all his clothes at the inn, so he shouldn't be able to find me."

"Unless he left a mark on my body, that would make it possible to locate this place."

This was not coincidence, nor luck; there must be a problem.

Bi Luo Chun examined his own body again, found no abnormality, and his soul was the same.

There was no abnormality at all, which made him very puzzled—how did Yi Menghan locate this place?

Yi Menghan stared around, carefully checking the surroundings, then stopped, frowned and said: "Strange, Bi Luo Chun is clearly nearby, why can't I find him?"

"He must be here, where is he hiding?"

Yi Menghan was unwilling to accept it, wanting to see what Bi Luo Chun had done. A day ago, he had entered the Mangshan Mountain Range, was deceived by Bi Luo Chun, lost two days, and barely made it here, only to find everything was already too late.

The Mangshan Mountain Range was in action; several times he almost got discovered, but fortunately he evaded.

"Bi Luo Chun must be hiding something from me; this place, what could be worth his personal visit? The last time he came to Cangzhou, he also entered the Mangshan Mountain Range."

"These years, Bi Luo Chun's cultivation has risen quickly; he must be hiding a secret."

"If I find the secret on his body, I can become stronger as well."

Yi Menghan wants to uncover Bi Luo Chun's rapid cultivation secret and also learn what opportunities he has.

The main point is that he and Bi Luo Chun are rivals; the master's command and his own reasons require him to dig out Bi Luo Chun's secret, otherwise the master will have no explanation.
