Chapter 577: Scheming Against the Heavenly Heart Sect, Chen Churan Ascends Longshe Mountain

Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?

Mu Longhao stared at the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King before him; he was being threatened by it, his weak body known to it, and once the Demon King found others to join forces, he would be doomed here.

Having died once, he certainly didn't want to die again; without any trump cards, if he died, he would truly perish.

The Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King, as a demon, still had some credibility; Mu Longhao could still trust him, and among the Monster Race, credibility is higher than among humans.

The Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King softly intoned a Buddhist chant: "Amitabha, Patron Mu Longhao, my purpose is simple—I want you to help me spread Buddhism in the Great Qi Dynasty."

"Spread Buddhism? Why me? And why should I, the king, help you? I won't do something that brings no benefit."

No matter how you look at it, this brings no benefit, it's thankless hard work, so I won't do it.

The human world is no easy place to go; first, one must pass through Longshe Cheng and that man. He currently doesn't want to get close, nor see Chen Chuyang, for if Chen Chuyang sees him appear, he won't be able to escape.

That's also why he ran so far, secretly acting, spreading plague, growing bit by bit; before recovering, he absolutely would not show himself, nor be as arrogant and overbearing as before.

"Amitabha, Patron Mu Longhao, don't you understand? This benefits us both: first, you let plague strike those humans, gnawing at their bodies, gnawing them down to more or less nothing; then I will step in to save them, and they will become my most devout followers."

"You gain vitality and food, without needing to kill them, you can get everything you want; moreover, this won't draw too much attention, and the Great Qi Dynasty won't find us there."

The Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King gave a cold laugh: "Even if they find us, what can they do? The puny Black Dragon Guard can't do anything to us."

Mu Longhao pondered briefly, thinking it a good plan that benefited both sides; the key was that it would indeed not attract much attention nor cause slaughter.

A steady source of food, such as this village, became followers of the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King; they could continuously generate faith, allowing the Demon King to grow rapidly.

Meanwhile, after his treasure worms devoured these people's bodies, they were of no further use.

The Black Dragon Guard—they are indeed not afraid.

Without Chen Chuyang supporting the Great Qi Dynasty, they have nothing to fear.

Moreover, they could probe the Heavenly Heart Sect; if they could capture one or two of its genius disciples and take everything from them, the situation would surely become very interesting.

The two of them didn't want to provoke Chen Chuyang, but the Heavenly Heart Sect, Spirit Sword Sect, and Yin Gui Sect—those people are… rare treasures.

"Do you understand now? We don't care whether they live or die."

"You want their bodies, I want their faith."

"Our joining hands is a perfect match."

"Each taking what they need, they have obtained what they wanted—why not?"

Their combined strength is far greater than fighting alone.

The threat posed by the Heavenly Heart Sect and the Great Qi Dynasty will be reduced to a minimum; moreover, the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King represents the Monster Race, meaning this is also the Monster Race's intent to probe the Heavenly Heart Sect.

Mu Longhao stared deeply at the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King, gritting his teeth: "The Heavenly Heart Sect is not weak; in fact, it is even more formidable than that person."

In this world, what Mu Longhao fears most is the Heavenly Heart Sect, followed by Chen Chuyang.

Before, he didn't fear Chen Chuyang, but after being killed once, Chen Chuyang's place in his mind was infinitely elevated, yet still incomparable to the Heavenly Heart Sect.

No matter how strong an individual is, they are merely strong as an individual; one can hide, avoid, and need not worry… about him.

The Heavenly Heart Sect, this colossal entity spreads across the world; truly offending them leaves nowhere to go.

But he wants to overturn this world, which requires confronting the Heavenly Heart Sect head-on.

The Heavenly Heart Sect is not his ally, but his enemy.

"Are you afraid?"

The Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King narrowed his eyes as benevolent Buddhist light enveloped him.

Mu Longhao quickly retreated, distancing himself from the Buddhist light and from the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King.

"Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King, how dare you ambush me, the king?"

"Amitabha, I, the poor monk, saw that you needed a Buddhist baptism, so I deliberately warmed your spirit; you mustn't think ill of me."

The Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King spoke with a compassionate face, full of benevolent kindness, his mouth uttering righteous morality.

Yet what he did was so filthy.

"Hmph, if there's a next time, don't blame me, the king, for being impolite."

"Don't get angry; harmony brings wealth."

The Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King could not convert him; this demon is very cautious, and ordinary methods cannot convert him.

Later, we'll slowly think of a solution.

For now, he still needs Mu Longhao.

"Shall we join forces with me, the king, to challenge the Heavenly Heart Sect and the Great Qi Dynasty together?"

The Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King extended his hand, wearing a compassionate expression.

Mu Longhao pondered a moment, then extended his hand: "I can cooperate with you, but you must swear not to attack me again."

"Sure."

The Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King swore immediately; his swift action startled Mu Longhao.

"Now that you have sworn."

Mu Longhao hesitated not at all, and swore directly.

Their cooperation was temporarily achieved.

The Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King laughed: "Since we are together, let's start from the capital of the Great Qi Dynasty."

"I, the poor monk, will convert everyone in the capital, and then convert the Heavenly Heart Sect."

He extended his hand.

"Patron Mu Longhao, for the great undertaking."

Mu Longhao extended his hand, and their fists collided.

"For us both."

"Damn it."

The two exchanged a glance.

Buddha light burst out, enveloping the entire village.

One day later.

On Longshe Shan.

A guest arrived, cough cough, it's the little sister.

Shang Hongxue personally welcomed her; upon seeing Chen Churan, Chen Churan's face was pale, looking injured.

Anxious Chen Churan saw Shang Hongxue, her body lunged forward, nearly fainting.

"Churan, what happened? Were you ambushed?"

Shang Hongxue cautiously looked behind Chen Churan; no enemies were pursuing.

Also no one made a move; then why did Churan...

"Where is the second older brother?"

Chen Churan gritted her teeth and endured, asking Shang Hongxue.

Shang Hongxue, just in case, brought her into the Formation; after entering Longshe Shan, Shang Hongxue finally felt relieved.

She dared not linger, bringing Chen Churan up the mountain.

"Chuyang older brother has gone into seclusion; is there anything you can tell me?"

Chen Churan hesitated a moment.

Shang Hongxue saw her hesitation and comforted: "You need to tell me for me to help you."

"Your second older brother has been in seclusion for several days; he won't come out in a short time."

"If someone is chasing you, just tell the sister-in-law; the sister-in-law will help you kill them."

Chen Churan shook her head: "You can't, sister-in-law."

Shang Hongxue clenched her fist, saying: "I am not who I was before; Churan younger sister, don't underestimate me."
