Chapter 175

After a thousand years of hard cultivation, they ended up dying in the aftermath because of an inexplicable battle between powerhouses.

"Is this the immortal cultivation world? It’s truly cruel..." Lisa sighed faintly.

"It is precisely because it is cruel that every immortal cultivator focuses on climbing upward."

Jiang Yan spoke slowly.

"No one wants to be the background board for the battles of the strong, or one of the countless numbers killed by the aftermath in post-war statistics."

Ningguang was silent for a moment, then said with some luck:

"This time, it was thanks to us choosing the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, where multiple Demon King factions are at odds, otherwise if we had really gone to other areas dominated by one faction."

"We would probably have withdrawn from the Nine Netherworld Secret Realm directly this time."

Everyone nodded in deep agreement.

The moment the Snow Hou raised its hand just now, they really thought they were going to stop here this time.

The opponent seemed to have really acted with the intention of solving them all in one go.

But the Fire Qilin Beast seemed to have other plans.

But no matter what, these Demon Kings could not have goodwill toward them.

Each of them had lived for ten thousand years and were old demons.

God knows what they were calculating.

The Seven Kings Alliance...

Ningguang calculated the information revealed by the Fire Qilin Beast just now and always felt that this Seven Kings Alliance seemed to have some story.

But a moment later, Ningguang gave up.

The calculations of such powerhouses were not something she could handle.

Being able to escape by luck because the Fire Qilin Beast and the Snow Hou started fighting was already a great fortune.

Better not look for trouble for herself.

112. The calculations of the Nine Netherworld Demon Kings

I don't know how long it had been, but the three of Zhongli had finally recovered some True Essence and woke up.

Looking back, the collision of ice and fire was still continuing, and from afar, one could still perceive a terrifying life-and-death crisis.

However, it was already fighting in the opposite direction.

But even so, that area had already been destroyed beyond recognition.

Mountains, earth, and rivers were all broken, like a scene after the end of the world.

Zhongli sighed.

"Too powerful... the battle between true immortal cultivation powerhouses is actually so terrifying."

"If this battle were to take place in Teyvat, it would probably destroy most of the Teyvat continent."

Honestly, Zhongli felt from the bottom of his heart that even if the Heavenly Principles faced those two Demon Kings, they would have to be hung up and slapped a few times.

The so-called strongest in Teyvat, if thrown into the immortal cultivation world, would also be truly fragile.

"Head."

Seeing Zhongli wake up, Xiao leaned over and looked with concern. Seeing that Zhongli had no problems, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I am fine."

Zhongli stood up and looked at Alice and Venti beside him. The two of them no longer had their original giggling appearance.

They were sitting on the side, somewhat silent.

It seems that witnessing the true battle of immortal cultivators had indeed had a great psychological impact on them.

"What about the Snow Hou and the Fire Qilin Beast..."

As soon as the words fell, Ningguang replied:

"Head, no need to worry. It is likely that the Fire Qilin Beast felt that it was not very appropriate to fight the Snow Hou in its own territory."

"It has already led it far away."

"The Sect Master said that their battle will not have a result in a short time. As long as we avoid that area, basically, we can ensure that we will not encounter them."

Zhongli breathed a sigh of relief, nodded slightly, and said again:

"Where is the Sect Master?"

"The Sect Master has not manifested his figure."

Ningguang looked at Ganyu, and the latter was sitting honestly beside Klee. Klee was not scared by the situation just now and was still counting the bombs in her schoolbag.

Suddenly, Jiang Yan reappeared beside Ganyu and Klee, looked up at Zhongli and the others with a light smile.

"How does it feel to face a real battle of immortal cultivators for the first time?"

"It feels..."

Zhongli gave a wry smile and shook his head.

"Life is too fragile..."

"When escaping just now, I saw too many living beings on the way, because they didn't escape in time, they were swept away by the aftermath of the attacks of the two Demon Kings and reduced to ashes."

"Among them, there were many existences at the peak of Qi Refining and Essence Transformation."

"After a thousand years of hard cultivation, they ended up dying because of an unnecessary battle."

"The immortal cultivation world is too cruel."

Jiang Yan nodded slightly and said softly:

"I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me."

"There are countless such examples in the immortal cultivation world, no need to be too entangled."

"The law of the jungle is the mainstream of the immortal cultivation world, only being weak is the original sin."

Zhongli let out a long breath and said no more.

But suddenly, Zhongli remembered another somewhat strange thing.

"Sect Master, why did the Snow Hou and the Fire Qilin Beast treat us so differently just now?"

"The Snow Hou came up and wanted to destroy an area to put us to death, while the Fire Qilin Beast stopped him..."

Jiang Yan laughed dumbly.

"Do you think the Fire Qilin Beast has goodwill toward you?"

"This is naturally impossible."

Zhongli shook his head decisively.

"The Fire Qilin Beast was sealed in the Nine Netherworld Secret Realm by the Master. I absolutely do not believe that any demonic beast has goodwill toward us Shushan disciples."

"With such awareness, you have obviously grown a lot."

Jiang Yan nodded with a smile and said again:

"You are right. I didn't intend to tell you myself, but who knew that you would encounter a Demon King as soon as you entered the Nine Netherworld Secret Realm."

As he spoke, Jiang Yan sighed helplessly.

"Back then, Shushan was powerful. Although the Seven Kings of the Nine Netherworld had extraordinary strength, there were countless peak powerhouses of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation among the Shushan disciples."

"They were just lingering on their last breaths."

"In order to survive, they could only group together. Although there were occasional disputes between them, if they didn't cooperate at that time, they would only die."

"The Seven Kings Alliance, no matter who is attacked by a Shushan powerhouse, the other Demon Kings must help with all their strength."

"If they lacked even a little bit of strength, they might be slaughtered. Shushan disciples treated demons extremely strictly."

"This is also the reason why so many of the Seven Kings of the Nine Netherworld are in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range."

"And later..."

Jiang Yan shook his head and said helplessly:

"Shushan, and even the entire immortal cultivation world, is no longer glorious... although I can still easily suppress them, I cannot truly enter the Nine Netherworld Secret Realm after all."

"Perhaps in these few hundred years, the Seven Kings of the Nine Netherworld have also had some guesses."

"Therefore, the alliance established for self-preservation back then is now just a piece of white paper."

"The Seven Kings have their own agendas, but generally speaking, they are about the same. They all want to use those who enter again to find a way out."

"The Seven Kings of the Nine Netherworld have been trapped in the Nine Netherworld Secret Realm for ten thousand years."

"The Snow Hou and the Fire Qilin Beast just now looked different in attitude, but in fact, they are exactly the same."

"It’s just that the Snow Hou is wary of the other Seven Kings and is unwilling to make a big fanfare, wanting to strike first."

"His move just now looked like he was leaving no way to live, but in fact, that palm would only kill existences with cultivation below Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation."
