Chapter 1688: Chapter 1690: Mutual Deception
After absorbing the spiritual energy from five Golden Core cultivators, this demon creature’s cultivation level was gradually recovering. By now, it could easily trap people with a flip of its palm. Given so more ti, its ability to consu the blood of the living would beco even more potent.
In reality, it would take it about two days to fully consu everyone.
The reason it ntioned it required ten days was to deceive the other side, making them feel there’s still plenty of ti to devise a strategy — Master Dang would use conversation to probe, not because it was bored or interested in educating the other side, but simply to stall for ti.
However, Master Dang deduced a shocking answer through analysis, and after a mont of reflection, he spoke, “When you were at your peak, you weren’t even a match for Feng Jun and Yan Yuxi… Are you sure you can reclaim your dignity?”
He kept chatting idly with the demon creature, hitting here and there randomly, seemingly without pattern. However, so people in the Tianxin Platform discerned his intent and ca to a similar conclusion — no matter which world you are in, there is never a shortage of smart people.
Yet most cultivators on the Tianxin Platform were still stunned upon hearing this, and couldn’t help but cry out, “What? Feng Jun and Yan Yuxi… are the ones who severely wounded this True Immortal?”
Actually, when you know the outco and retrace what happened, it’s quite simple. Feng Jun and Yan Yuxi were captured by a True Immortal so ti ago and later escaped, while the demon creature in front of us was also just injured, thus triggering a hidden agenda…
Ultimately, there are only so many True Immortals on the Kunhao Plane. The injuries of this one coincided with the ti of Feng Jun and Yan Yuxi’s escape, so… the truth isn’t that hard to guess.
Master Dang felt deeply troubled. He had thought that Feng Jun and the others ca here attracted by the allure of the Golden Core Cave Mansion, intent on plundering treasures. Who would’ve thought… they might be here for revenge instead?
Yet here we are at the Tianxin Platform, being duped like a bunch of fools — coming at their beckoning as their blood food!
At this mont, Master Dang was intensely regretful. Had we known this, why did we act so recklessly, competing with Feng Jun to search Netherworld Island, vying to enter it?
No, not recklessly, just suicidal!
At this mont, Master Dang even understood why Ji Buseng didn’t alert the Tianxin Platform when evacuating — perhaps Ji Buseng held a grudge, but more likely, Master Busheng knew that even if he said it, the Tianxin Platform wouldn’t believe it.
Saying there’s a True Immortal hiding on Netherworld Island… would the people of the Tianxin Platform believe it? They would most likely think he wanted to claim the cave mansion for himself, right?
Thus, Master Dang truly realized just how wrong and outrageous the Tianxin Platform had been in this matter.
Yet simultaneously, he harbored a faint hope, hoping his guess was wrong — that way, in more than a day’s ti, Ji Buseng would arrive with Feng Jun and Yan Yuxi.
Then there might be a chance of salvation — at least soone to share the brunt of the True Immortal demon’s assault.
Nevertheless, no matter how hard he tried reasoning, it was up to the other side to confirm.
However, this demon creature was extraordinarily confident. It let out a sneer and spoke slowly, “You may be quite skilled at speculation, but that Feng rascal rely took advantage of my off-guard mont… once I recover, I’ll surely grind him into dust!”
A Golden Core cultivator couldn’t hold back, “Aren’t you boasting excessively? Pine Cypress Peak suffered a big loss this ti… you can seek revenge, but others can’t?”
After his words, many people showed a relaxed expression: being from Linhai, they naturally knew soone from the Yan Family’s Golden Core had been critically injured and was currently unconscious, recuperating in Linhai Square Market.
As for coming to our door… they’ve already co to our door, haven’t they? We’ve all seen it!
Master Dang indeed glanced at him discreetly, thinking to himself, are you stupid, blurting out such things?
It seems that the rules of Tianxin Platform need revising; I was planning to play tricks subtly, yet you just blurted it all out.
“Revenge? Hmph,” the demon sneered dismissively, not at all worried about Feng Jun’s vengeance. To say the least, that guy probably wouldn’t even find this place — the Void it created was a million miles from here.
The place where Aunt Qiu appeared was very close to Linhai Square Market. It had opened a space there previously. This ti, Feng Jun sohow shattered that space, shocking it beyond belief, despite its heartache.
Honestly, it’s still hesitating whether to seek Feng Jun for the account it holds. Emotionally speaking, it felt it couldn’t swallow this anger, but in reality, it worried it might still fail to exact revenge even if it went there.
One sentence from Feng Jun left a deep impression on it — “Who doesn’t have so elders?”
It was eager to trigger the hidden agenda, rarely resorting to consuming blood food. Its primary aim wasn’t retaliation but to quickly heal its injuries, in case Feng Jun’s elders arrived and it was defenseless.
Its desire for revenge was sothing it dared not entertain, yet it planned to find Feng Jun — it had painstakingly established a space that was destroyed, and its avatar’s branches were taken. It couldn’t just let this matter slide… compensation was due!
Indeed, its current demand was rely to reclaim its avatar’s branches and to claim compensation from the other party.
It even figured that, even when eting Feng Jun’s elders, it would present its reasoning — I kidnapped Feng Jun just to help with so calculations, not intending to take his life… his greatest value was in calculation, how can a dead person calculate?
Yet he destroyed the space I painstakingly built. It took my utmost effort and precious materials to achieve it!
The more critical issue is that I am seriously injured. This can’t be let go. I’ll say the sa thing—who doesn’t have a few elders?
Of course, this is the scenario it envisioned. Anyway, it would be unsatisfactory to not care, at the very least wanting to get back that branch of the avatar, but if the other party’s elders are powerful… everything can be negotiated.
However, if the other party’s elders aren’t strong enough or if they don’t have elders, it plans to turn against them hard.
Unfortunately, this assumption is theoretically unlikely—can the Outdust Realm harm a True Immortal without so decent heritage and trump cards?
No matter how you look at it, it never considered that Feng Jun might find this place—that space is not only far away but also relatively independent, controlled by the avatar branch with little relation to the main body.
The proper thing is that the main body spent a lot of ti and effort managing this space, and one might even say that it serves as a window for external contact—after all, it couldn’t possibly expose its lair to others’ eyes.
This is precisely why, when the private space shattered so ti ago, it was so severely injured.
Anyway, it doesn’t think Feng Jun would find his way here, the Netherworld Mist… is a definite restricted zone of the Endless Sea, “I truly hope he can co, I never mind having more blood food.”
“Do you think he hasn’t co?” a very low voice rang out.
Master Dang instantly wanted to go berserk: Damn it, the rules of the Ten Directions Platform must be rectified, everyone’s daring to talk nonsense now?
He wasn’t trying to keep secrets for Feng Jun—he had neither the obligation nor the mood to do so, but this news itself held high value for utilization, and he believed that if he designed it ticulously, it might just bring a chance of survival for everyone.
Like the one who finally said this “do you think he hasn’t co,” was just a Qi-Refining Disciple, now left with only half a life.
He knew that everyone was being targeted by a True Immortal, and given his condition, the likelihood of survival was slim, so he verbally vented a bit before dying, just for so satisfaction—anyway, Feng Jun is an enemy of the Ten Directions Platform, you all can bite each other for all he cares.
He had the right to do so, but Master Dang was very furious—you are seeking your own death.
As expected, when the demon heard this, it didn’t say anything, directly pulling him away with several roots.
Yet this disciple was truly unyielding, directly triggering the seal in his Sea of Consciousness, “Want to soul search? Dream on!”
It is said that the disciples of the Ten Directions Platform are leisurely wealthy people, hardly any dare to fight, but honestly, there are indeed so who are tough, though this one didn’t have much of a guard on his mouth, he truly feared not death.
Seeing his head explode directly, the demon paused for a mont, then sneered, “So, rather tough, huh? I’ll see how many more are unafraid of soul searching!”
In the next mont, another three Qi-Refining Disciples were dragged downward by the roots, in the blink of an eye subrging into the ground.
Master Dang’s heart was twisting in pain, but he could not exhibit any reaction, just watched flatly.
He wasn’t very clear on what expressions the disciples could have—hopefully, they can live up to the na of “Ten Directions Platform Disciples.”
He was in charge of the entire Ten Directions Platform and couldn’t put the interests of the entire platform aside for the safety of one or two disciples—this differs from the Holy Mother thinking on Earth; the Kunhao Plane believes in collective interests taking precedence over individual interests.
No matter how much you speak about personal interests and emotions, it’s useless!
The demon actually hadn’t intended to use this as leverage to threaten the Ten Directions Platform’s authority—this was too unrealistic, it simply wanted to soul search.
However, the group the Ten Directions Platform sent this ti were indeed elites; it searched seven people, and not only found nothing, but also realized continuing the search was pointless, thus having to cease this aningless action.
It vocally inquired, “Did Feng Jun co to the Endless Sea?”
Master Dang had been pondering for a good while, striving to find a survival path for everyone, so when he heard this question, he straightforwardly replied, “That’s right, he not only ca to the Endless Sea but also to the Netherworld Mist, we were just together earlier.”
This statent was unproblematic, they were indeed just together, as for whether the atmosphere was harmonious… that’s another issue.
But the demon was evidently under the impression that he was bluffing, so it smirked disdainfully, “If he ca with you all, why didn’t he enter my territory together with you? To investigate this… I’ve spent quite a bit of essence blood.”
This was no exaggeration; nearly all the cultivators knew that whether a novice at the Mortal Transformation Stage or a Nascent Soul Big Boss, wanting to accomplish anything requires the corresponding price; the demon dragged seven people to soul search, there had to be costs—certainly consuming blood food.
“He did enter your territory,” Master Dang laughed, showing a schadenfreude deanor, “Who do you think was spying just now? That was Ji Buseng from the Tianxin Platform; he gets along well with Feng Jun… of course, you don’t have to believe.”
