Chapter 402: Jin Peng Wang's Extreme Plan

Long Zhan Tian and five others went towards the sound, saw that the comer was Zhang Boduan, and were startled, their hearts jumping.

This peerless powerhouse is a terrifying existence capable of easily slaying the master of Taiyin Shengdi; his strength permeates heaven and earth, and each of his killing moves is extremely similar to the Great Day Purple Qi of the Purple Mansion.

They never expected that the incredibly powerful and frightening cultivator before them was actually one of the experts among these cultivators of the Shangqing Sect.

Long Zhan Tian grew increasingly curious, wondering just what kind of divine being the Demon Master was.

The strong warriors who occasionally emerge from the Demon Master's command in the Primordial Spirit Realm can stir up a region's storms; each is immensely powerful, so much so that even the peak experts of the various major forces of Huanyu cannot match them.

The Eight Great Orthodox Dao Alliance cultivators were defeated in the great battle against the Shangqing Sect; the sect's disciples died horribly, and the high‑level members of the various sects' forces fell, because people's hearts are no longer ancient.

"You can take the opportunity to expound on sowing discord between the various major sects."

"Once the Shangqing Sect grasps the entire Primordial Spirit Realm, you will be meritorious officials."

"The Demon Master will bestow even more extraordinary things, and immortality is not out of the question." Zhang Boduan's eyes flashed twice, and he spoke resolutely.

"I dare to ask, fellow Daoists, does the Demon Master truly have a means to grant us immortality?" Chu Mengji's eyes deepened, filled with fervor, as he asked probing.

The Earth cultivators present all burst into laughter upon hearing this, looking at Chu Mengji as if looking at a frog at the bottom of a well.

"It's impossible to achieve immortality in the Universe Cultivation World, but the Demon Master's methods reach the heavens."

Resurrecting ancient sages and emperors is indeed a real occurrence.

The Ziyang True Person Zhang Boduan and His Majesty the First Emperor, etc., were once unsurpassed existences in the river of history.

After falling into endless ages, they are still, by the Demon Master's supreme Divine Ability, bridging ancient and modern cause and effect, and reborn in the real world with a thread of ancient soul.

When the Tiger King spoke, a voice of the Demon Master reaching heaven and earth appeared in his mind, the sound exuding pride and admiration.

Chu Mengji and the five others were indeed startled by a great jump upon hearing this.

He stared at Zhang Boduan, examining him closely, never expecting that this person was actually a supreme existence reborn in the present cultivation world after falling into endless ages, his heart surging even more.

No wonder the Ziyang True Person could easily slay Xi Huang; they never expected the origin to be this terrifying.

Long Zhan Tian muttered softly.

He exchanged a glance with his companions present, all feeling extremely excited.

The people of the Kill Ghost Sect's base again revealed a heaven-shaking secret to them: as long as they follow the Demon Master's steps, even if they fall, they can be retrieved from the river of time.

If they follow, they will surely have a chance at a second life; the powerful temptation made them feel parched and their breathing began to quicken.

"Fellow Daoists, we will surely obey the Demon Master's command.

We will exert the effort of dogs and horses, not sparing even the squandering of life."

Long Zhan Tian and the five others spoke in unison.

Since the Demon Master even has the means to raise the dead, death no longer frightens them; they can let go and act freely.

The five's state of mind underwent a complete change, gradually gaining release from the shackles of the Universe Cultivation World.

"Haha, there really is a matter to entrust you with at this stage."

Jin Peng Wang heard this, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The four turned their heads, and instantly had a bad premonition.

Jin Peng Wang is extremely extreme; his actions cannot be guessed by common sense. Not only did he cause the Taiyin Shengdi base to collapse, but he also stole the Void Beast Bone, one of the great foundations of Reed Flame Valley.

Seeing that sinister, cold-smiling face, Long Zhan Tian and the five knew another order would soon come; though they thought it was all for fulfilling the Demon Master's plan, they also felt the urge to achieve merit.

"Please, Peng Wang, instruct."

Long Zhan Tian and the five others said at the same time.

"The Void Beast Bone will send you to an uninhabited area near Silver Break City; the first thing you must do upon leaving is to fight each other.

Lei Ze, Long Zhan Tian, Chu Mengji, and Feng You Xiang, four people, should take the opportunity to command the disciples scattered in the Primordial Spirit Realm for training from their respective sects.

Together, chase Zi Tian Du.

"You may play rough, but you must not let this seat waste Zi Tian Du." Jin Peng Wang stared at Zi Tian Du, smiling with deep meaning, and said.

"No, Peng Wang, this will definitely cause casualties."

Zi Tian Du's originally hot-blooded heart was frightened into a sudden tremor, his face instantly losing all color, as if he thought he had suddenly hallucinated.

Jin Peng Wang truly, if he doesn't speak it's fine, but once he speaks he can surely scare you to death.

The Purple Mansion's slaying of the Taiyin Shengdi master is the fundamental reason for the Eight Great Orthodox Alliance's failure in attacking the Shangqing Sect.

You, to avenge the Purple Mansion sect, used the Blazing Heaven Great Formation to slay tens of thousands of disciples and high-level cultivators of the Fu Yang Sect, Bibo Palace, Tianlong Gate, Lei Ze, and Tianji Pavilion.

Their pursuit of you is reasonable and justified." Jin Peng Wang, seeing Zi Tian Du's tearful yet unable-to-cry expression, stared wide-eyed and said.

Everyone present heard this and their eyes all lit up.

Jin Peng Wang intended to use the Purple Mansion's alleged rebellion among the alliance cultivators as a pretext to continue stirring up trouble, taking the opportunity to provoke a war between the Huanyu Orthodox Dao forces in the Primordial Spirit Realm and the Universe Cultivation World.

Now that the Huanyu Orthodox Dao forces have failed in besieging the Shangqing Sect, with tens of thousands of sect disciples slain, they will surely be furious.

If the matter of the Purple Mansion's defection during the great war is exposed, the Huanyu Orthodox Dao forces will surely personally go to the Purple Mansion to demand an explanation.

Furthermore, with Zi Tian Du being chased, they can take the opportunity to again slay Huanyu Orthodox Dao disciples; the Huanyu cultivators in the Primordial Spirit Realm who see this will spread it tenfold, then a hundredfold.

Earth cultivators all know this.

Some things, when passed by word of mouth, change in flavor as they are transmitted.

First, not discussing whether the ten major orthodox sects of the Universe Cultivation World will go to war, but the orthodox disciples who enter this place for training in the Primordial Spirit Realm are all hot-blooded youths, and they will surely fight.

Zi Tian Du saw that all the cultivators present had expressions of approval on their faces, and his heart felt somewhat like wanting to cry but unable to.

He knew that Jin Peng Wang's plotted scheme was certainly unavoidable.

"Jin Peng Wang, can't you, with your wise and intelligent mind, change to another method?" Zi Tian Du furrowed his brow, grabbed his own hair, and asked probing.

"Of course there is, though this seat feels they're about the same." Jin Peng Wang flashed a hint of cunning on his face, spoke with ill intent, and this made Zi Tian Du's heart leap with joy.

"Jin Peng Wang, truly unsurpassed in wisdom, you know what cannot be hidden from you.

"Hurry up and say it." Zi Tian Du eagerly and hurriedly asked, secretly hoping to grasp a stroke of luck.

"The second method is, you can chase those four people.

However, they might turn around and team up to beat you; I, for my part, feel that it's definitely possible. The Golden Peng King said, spreading his hands to show his helplessness.

Zi Tian Du heard this and immediately froze like a wooden chicken. "Peng King, don't joke, this isn't fun at all." Zi Tian Du was about to burst into tears, wailing in protest.

There are only two methods; choose for yourself.

The Golden Peng King wore a smiling, squinty expression on the surface, a grinning look on the surface, which made Zi Tian Du grit his teeth in anxiety, his face showing an expression as if he wanted to eat someone.

Fellow Daoist Tian Du, rest assured.

I will surely look after you well, fellow Daoists.

Long Zhan Tian wore a mischievous grin, slinging an arm over Zi Tian Du's shoulder as he teased.

Feng You Xiang, Chu Meng Ji, and Lei Ze also shot him hostile glances at the same time, making Zi Tian Du tremble with rage throughout his body.

Not long after.

When the matter of Zi Tian Du being chased by Long Zhan Tian came to light, the entire Primordial Spirit Realm was shocked.

Such a great event was personally witnessed by cultivators of the Universe Correction World, and moreover, disciples from the Assisting Yang Sect, Heaven Dragon Gate, Wind Thunder Pavilion, Bibo Palace, and the Purple Mansion who were training in the Primordial Spirit Realm rushed over to help.

The cultivators of various sects who had arrived by evening, unable to vent the anger in their hearts, directly provoked the four branches of the Assisting Yang Sect to besiege the disciples of the Purple Mansion.

The chaotic attack of the four branches immediately beat the Purple Mansion disciples until they were overturned, many of their souls and spirits fell, and then they quickly disintegrated and vanished in the Primordial Spirit Realm.

As the five of them staged performances in various places of the Primordial Spirit Realm, the cultivators of Huanyu were also greatly shocked.

They never expected that the allied cultivators of the eight great orthodox forces besieging the Upper Purity Sect would actually be defeated, and all the major powers in the Primordial Spirit Realm gained a new understanding of the Upper Purity Sect.

The matter was too extraordinary, especially for the various great orthodox powers of Huanyu, which found it hard to accept.

No matter how hard they racked their brains, they couldn't believe that a newly risen sect, with the support of the Slaughter Ghost Sect, could single-handedly take on the eight great sect forces that had shaken Huanyu for countless ages.

Soon another horrifying piece of news spread: the eight great orthodox forces of Huanyu joined hands, and the allied cultivators alone numbered in the hundreds of thousands, with nearly all orthodox disciples suffering casualties, the losses being catastrophically heavy.

The matter wasn't over yet.

The reason for the crushing defeat of the orthodox alliance cultivators was that the Purple Mansion cultivators betrayed at a critical moment, causing the alliance's forces to lose cohesion, which was the fundamental cause of the failure.

When the news that Zi Tian Du was being pursued by the four great sects reached the Purple Mansion's base in Huanyu City, Zi Hao Yue, the chief, flew into a rage; instead of rushing to rescue Zi Tian Du, he took the opportunity to summon the sect's strongmen, centering on Huanyu City, and madly seized the Taiyin Shengdi and Reed Flame Valley properties in the Primordial Spirit Realm.

In the Taiyin Shengdi and Reed Flame Valley properties, because the sect's base personnel suffered heavy losses and there were no strong overseers, they were as weak as clay tiles and pottery, easily slain by the Purple Mansion's strongmen, who then took them over by force.

At the same time.

An alliance calling itself the Mist Hidden Alliance appeared in the Primordial Spirit Realm.

They all wore black robes, brazenly looting the properties of the Assisting Yang Sect, Bibo Palace, Wind Thunder Pavilion, and Heaven Dragon Gate; the four great sects, having had their leaders captured while attacking the Upper Purity Sect, lost nearly all their elders, and the guarding disciples instantly became lambs to the slaughter.

Countless properties of the four great sects were swept clean by the Mist Hidden Alliance, some even having their houses torn down and carried away.

The cultivators of the Ten Great Heretical Forces of Huanyu, upon initially seeing the orthodox forces of Huanyu being plundered by the Mist Hidden Alliance, feared that the orthodox would unite and go to war with the heretics, and dared not act.

As the black-clad strongmen of the Mist Hidden Alliance seized more and more of Huanyu's orthodox properties, they began to feel uneasy, slowly growing envious and their eyes turning red.

The leaders of the Ten Great Heretical Forces urgently convened a meeting; soon after, the heretical side also joined the campaign to seize the properties of the Assisting Yang Sect, Bibo Palace, and other major powers.

The Primordial Spirit Realm quickly descended into chaos at the pace of the Nili Sweeping Cavern, no longer as tranquil as before.

The resources of the Primordial Territory that the Huanyu Seven Great Orthodox Forces had stockpiled for over two years rapidly fell into the hands of both orthodox and heretical cultivators of the Huanyu Cultivation World.

Yet strangely, among the various sects that had been plundered, the cultivators who had trained in the Primordial Spirit Realm rarely sought trouble with the Upper Purity Sect; instead, they all directed their hostility toward the Purple Mansion of the Huanyu Ten Great Orthodox Forces.

Their reasoning was:

If it weren't for the sudden defection of the Purple Mansion cultivators among the eight great orthodox alliance, the alliance would not have lost, our sect's base would not have been destroyed, and our sect's properties would not have been seized.

The Purple Mansion is the source of all the chaos in the Primordial Spirit Realm among the various sects.

The powerful cultivator of the Assisting Yang Sect who trained in the Tian Yuan is a descendant of the sect's high-ranking elders; he directly issued a slaughter order: "Kill Zi Tian Du, level the Purple Mansion's Primordial Spirit Realm base!"

The disciples of the Bibo Palace who had trained, seeing the miserable state of many elders in the alliance's great war, were grief-stricken to the point of despair.

"Not killing Zi Tian Du, even becoming a hero is in vain!"

Anyone who kills Zi Tian Du and wishes to level the Purple Mansion may become a dao companion.

The Bibo Palace discovered that the disciples who had pursued and taken revenge on Zi Tian Du had all vanished; upon learning of the Purple Mansion's nefarious schemes, they flew into a rage and issued the harshest bounty hunt order.

The orthodox forces, united in hatred of the traitor, showed no mercy; their shared goal in the Primordial Spirit Realm was to kill Zi Tian Du and level the Purple Mansion's base.

For a time, the prestige of Zi Tian Du and the Purple Mansion shook the entire Primordial Spirit Realm, infamous and intimidating the world!

Countless loose cultivators of Huanyu were astonished beyond words.

Not only was Zi Tian Du impressive, but the Purple Mansion was even more so, single-handedly taking on the seven great orthodox forces of Huanyu by its own strength.

Countless disciples of the Purple Mansion who had trained died under the masters of the seven great sects; the fierce faction was utterly disastrous, yet the Purple Mansion's prestige soared to ninety thousand li, shaking ancient and modern times.

The number of fallen disciples of the Purple Mansion reached an unprecedented new height!

Whether the Purple Mansion's single-handed challenge against the seven great forces of Huanyu ended in victory or defeat, its fame spread far and wide, becoming known to every household.

The great Purple Mansion gradually showed a trend of breaking away from the strength of Huanyu's ten great orthodox forces and moving toward joining the ranks of Huanyu's heretical forces.

That, at the critical moment of the eight-sect alliance, defected and doomed the seven-sect alliance's tens of thousands of cultivators; whether courage or ambition, it was endlessly discussed by Huanyu's loose cultivators.

The Purple Mansion looks down on Huanyu, and Zi Tian Du is a model for myriad people.

The Purple Mansion stands out alone in the world, unmatched within the universe, past and present.

"You've all heard that Criminal Sentence Wuchen of Demon Net Valley personally rescued countless disciples of the Purple Mansion—damn, it's shocking; the Purple Mansion really is colluding with the heretical forces."

"Never mind whether it's true or false; this excrement shoved into the Purple Mansion's mouth, even if spat out, still puts all the major forces on guard."

"I really admire that bunch of lively treasures from the Purple Mansion—how dare they betray the alliance to its face, and even force the master of Taiyin Shengdi to self-destruct, which is the foremost orthodox force of Huanyu!"

"What nonsense! The Purple Mansion has long disliked Taiyin Shengdi, wanting to secretly ally with the heretical forces to become the greatest orthodox force in Huanyu."

"Behind the Purple Mansion aren't just the Slaughter Ghost Sect but also Demon Net Valley; this heretical great power of the Purple Mansion hidden within the orthodox is damn deep……"

"Damn it, from now on I gotta stay away from Purple Mansion cultivators, or else the orthodox cultivators will mistake me and I'll soon kick the bucket……"

"You guys are so ignorant… I heard a secret… alas… I'm starving……" a loose cultivator said, sighing long and short while surrounded by people in the wine shop.

"Shopkeeper, quickly bring out the good wine and meat, damn it, if you're late I'll skin you!" a richly dressed young man in the crowd shouted urgently for drinks, and others chimed in from the side.

Folks, let me tell you……

That rogue cultivator raised two fingers to his lips, making a hushing gesture.

He then whispered: "The Eight Great Sects Alliance is at a crucial juncture, when a supreme expert of the Purple Mansion suddenly discovered that the master of Taiyin Shengdi, Xiyang, and his wife were playing Badahei, enjoying their horse ride to the fullest, when they were caught red‑handed—and then you know what I mean…"

"Holy crap, that's so explosive…"

"No wonder he's the master of Taiyin Shengdi; the Purple Mansion expert's forehead is green."

Everyone suddenly understood.
