Chapter 601: Demon King White Deer, Arrives at Longshe Shan

The two have reached a preliminary agreement; the specific terms still need to be discussed.

It's hard to say outside, after all some matters must not be known to outsiders, nor can those from Tianwai learn of their plan; the plan must not be leaked, every step is the same, and the two are very careful, not wanting to show any flaw.

This concerns their future, as well as that of their descendants; it is not merely a matter between the two of them.

The two understood each other without words, exchanged a glance, and grasped each other's thoughts; White Deer King withdrew everything, followed Chen Chuyang to Longshe Shan, and then continued discussing the specifics. As for the Demon King of Ten Thousand Poisons' demon soul, that will be traded later.

The thunder tribulation dissipated, everything faded, and Jing Yuheng watched them appear together, not knowing what they talked about. It seemed not ordinary content; whatever they kept from her must be a secret.

She wanted to know, and at once appeared beside Chen Chuyang, respectfully saying, "This time, thank you for stepping in."

Although it wasn't at her request, Chen Chuyang's intervention this time was clearly to accompany them, fearing they might encounter danger.

It could be seen as repaying Chen Chuyang's kindness; Jing Yuheng would remember that. She dared not be reckless; the previous lesson still lingered, so this time she dared not ask too much, nor press further.

Fifth Prince Qi Mingyu curiously examined Chen Chuyang, searching for scars. Within the thunder tribulation clouds, the bombardment was terrifying, yet he seemed as if nothing had happened; after a round of searching, he found no scars, nor any damage left by the tribulation—neither soul nor body showed any sign.

His heart tightened, and he involuntarily inhaled a cold breath, glancing at White Deer King with awe and caution.

White Deer King nodded at them, not taking them seriously; though these people were decent, they could not threaten him nor cause him harm, so naturally he paid them no mind.

Of course, White Deer King would not act against them. In the Great Qi Dynasty, once the Black Dragon Guard moves, it becomes a feud between the Monster Race and the human dynasty; there are many grudges, generations of enmity. At such times, he pretends not to see.

Qi Mingyu and Jing Yuheng breathed a sigh of relief; they feared White Deer King might act against them and annihilate them.

Chen Chuyang's deterrence extends beyond humans; even among the Monster Race, White Deer King does not dare to be reckless.

"You speak too heavily; this time, I acted on my own, not to help you."

"No." Jing Yuheng gritted her teeth, "Regardless, what you did helped me; the Demon King of Ten Thousand Poisons is dead, the Tianlong Daoist is dead, and no longer can stir up trouble."

"Although the auspicious Golden Dragon cannot be reclaimed, they are dead, so my mission is considered complete."

"Without you nearby, I'm afraid."

White Deer King will surely act; whether the Demon King of Ten Thousand Poisons lives or dies then is hard to say.

Especially at a time like this, she will definitely bind herself with Chen Chuyang, making White Deer King wary and thus not daring to act against them.

Chen Chuyang read their thoughts, waved his hand, "Think whatever you like; this matter is concluded, and only Mu Longhao remains."

"We will find Mu Longhao; this beast must not be allowed to roam free, we will definitely slay him."

Jing Yuheng answered firmly, "Mu Longhao has caused too many disasters; he must die."

The plague monster fused with him; in the future it could cause even more calamities, so he must be killed.

The task has been greatly lightened; with only Mu Longhao left, it is no longer a hindrance.

Chen Chuyang's appearance here indicates Mu Longhao fled long ago.

"He ran that way; if you pursue him now, you might catch up."

Jing Yuheng clasped her hands in thanks, "Thank you."

"Fifth Prince, let's go."

Fifth Prince Qi Mingyu did not doubt Chen Chuyang's words at all, and moved toward the direction he pointed.

The Black Dragon Guard all went over, pursuing Mu Longhao.

White Deer King squinted and said, "Jing Yuheng is very clever."

Chen Chuyang nodded in approval, "Indeed, this woman has always been clever; aside from occasional brain glitches, she is clever at other times."

Sometimes, being too clever backfires.

A little instruction, and she will naturally know what to do.

Regarding this, Chen Chuyang still greatly admires Jing Yuheng; this woman makes things easier.

"Indeed, a woman being too clever can be a drawback."

"With Mu Longhao under her watch, he cannot cause disaster in the short term."

"Your tactic of borrowing a knife to kill is quite good."

Chen Chuyang heard this and laughed, "It's not really borrowing a knife to kill; it's just making Mu Longhao suffer a bit. This beast excels at fleeing; whenever something feels off, he immediately runs away."

"After killing him once, trying to kill him a second time is difficult."

White Deer King thought aloud, "Indeed, even if a mouse becomes a demon and gains dragon blood, it's still timid."

"That's his survival talent—seeking fortune, avoiding disaster. He has memorized your scent; as soon as you appear, he hides."

"Having Jing Yuheng chase him is actually good; this beast was killed once by you, injuring its core and taking the plague monster's body, unable to merge fully. Thus he will remain stagnant, unable to advance, and cannot threaten you."

As soon as he shows a flaw, Chen Chuyang will find the chance and deliver a killing blow.

Mu Longhao has evaded many times, but he will eventually expose a flaw.

This beast cannot go a lifetime without showing a flaw.

"Hahaha, those who understand me are fellow Daoists as well."

"Hahaha."

The two left amid the laughter.

Half a day later.

On Longshe Shan, White Deer King entered the mountain and inspected the Formation above.

At once, White Deer King sighed, "Fine place, fellow Daoist, excellent technique—turning a barren land into a cave‑heaven blessed land. If a spirit vein were added, this place would surely undergo metamorphosis."

It must be said, White Deer King truly lives up to the title Demon King, spotting the problem at a glance.

The problem of Longshe Shan is fundamental; other changes are useless.

Even with Chen Chuyang's massive investment of spirit stones and resources, the change cannot be complete.

A spirit vein alteration is needed; Longshe Shan's spirit veins are too weak.

"If the Demon King gives me a spirit vein, I would be immensely grateful."

He smiled and reached out.

White Deer King's mouth twitched, his smile vanished.

"Cough cough cough."

"Friend, you're joking; spirit veins are very precious; even I, the king, don't have one."

"Friend, if you want a spirit vein, as far as I know, the Heavenly Heart Sect has the spirit vein you need, and its grade is not low."

"Heavenly Heart Sect's spirit veins are what many people are staring at."

"The White Deer King's thoughts and intentions are obvious; the White Deer King also wants Chen Chuyang to act against the Heavenly Heart Sect."

"Chen Chuyang waved his hand: 'The Heavenly Heart Sect is too strong; my Longshe Shan is weak; I dare not offend it.'"

"Friend, you're joking; Longshe Shan is not weak."

"The White Deer King glanced at the Ghost King Zhuge Gui and the lying black sheep; the White Deer King's pupils contracted."
