Chapter 1916: Chapter 637: Myriad Demon Abyss, Gu God Bowl!
After the two sat down, looking at the Five Poisons Cult Leader, who resembled a child carved out of jade, Lu Changsheng felt an indescribably strange sensation.
Although he knew that in the Cultivation World one cannot judge a cultivator by appearance, and understood that the Five Poisons Cult Leader before him was a Nascent Soul True Lord.
Seeing her delicate and adorable appearance, like a porcelain doll, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but think of his own daughter when she was little, subconsciously letting down his guard.
Fortunately, the aura and gaze that belied her youthful appearance constantly reminded him that she was an old Nascent Soul monster, not as cute as his daughter!
"I came here to take Mili and Minghuang away."
As he was unsure of the Five Poisons Cult Leader’s temperament, speaking too much could lead to slips, so Lu Changsheng went straight to the point about his intention.
"Nangong Mili is our Five Poisons Cult’s Heavenly Spider Envoy. Since Yangming Daoist has become her Dao Companion, you’re considered family with our Five Poisons Cult, why appear so distant?"
The Five Poisons Cult Leader spoke crisply and timidly, yet filled with authority, she calmly said.
"I have no intention of opposing the Five Poisons Cult, and I am very willing to maintain friendship with your cult."
Lu Changsheng smiled lightly, speaking straightforwardly.
He was not one to abhor evil blindly, and had little feelings about the Demon Path.
If it weren’t for Lu Quanzhen’s matter, he wouldn’t go seek trouble with the Yiming Ghost Sect either.
"Since it’s the case, Daoist, why must you take away the Heavenly Spider Envoy? As long as Daoist is willing, our Five Poisons Cult door is always open, be it an Honored Guest or an Elder position."
The Five Poisons Cult Leader calmly said, extending an invitation.
"I have always been leisurely and don’t like restraints. If the Cult Leader has any needs, of course we can interact more."
Lu Changsheng politely declined.
"Mili is one of the Five Great Saint Envoys of our Five Poisons Cult, holding an important role. If she leaves, it would greatly impact our cult."
The Five Poisons Cult Leader said so.
After speaking, she paused and continued: "I remember the Heavenly Spider Envoy has a disciple named Meng Xiaochan. This girl has already been taken by Daoist. Now you want to take away our Heavenly Spider Envoy too, isn’t that a bit unreasonable?"
Lu Changsheng was not surprised that she mentioned Meng Xiaochan’s matter, he politely said: "Little Chan and I have a destined connection, in this matter I owe Daoist an apology."
"If I am determined to take Mili and Minghuang away, what should I do to make the Cult Leader agree?"
He knew when he came that he could not take Nangong Mili and his son Lu Minghuang away with mere words.
"What is your connection with the Heavenly Sword Sect? Why assist Jiang Country?"
The Five Poisons Cult Leader did not answer but asked instead.
"I need a Fourth Rank Demon Pill to refine a magical treasure, and the Demon Pill of the Double-headed Flood Dragon in Jiang Country’s Poison Dragon Pool precisely meets my needs."
Lu Changsheng said openly.
"Double-headed Flood Dragon Demon Pill."
The Five Poisons Cult Leader nodded slightly, not surprised.
In these years, she had learned about this information through various intelligence channels and knew that the Heavenly Sword Sect was selling the Double-headed Flood Dragon Demon Pill, likely ending up in the hands of Yangming True Man.
"Since Minghuang is your child with the Heavenly Spider Envoy, if you want to take him, our Cult Leader has no objection."
"However, Mili is our cult’s Heavenly Spider Envoy, cultivated with a lot of resources. Asking to take her away, where does that leave our Five Poisons Cult?"
The Five Poisons Cult Leader continued speaking, neither aggressive nor friendly.
After that, she changed her tone and said: "Why not this way, Yangming Daoist and I go to the Myriad Demon Abyss to fetch something, regardless of success, Daoist remains a friend of our Five Poisons Cult."
"Afterward, the Soul Lamp of the Heavenly Spider Envoy and her disciple Meng Xiaochan can be given to Daoist."
"If Yangming Daoist is willing, you can also serve as an Honored Guest in our Five Poisons Cult. I am willing to mediate and resolve the grudges between Daoist and the Yiming Ghost Sect."
The Five Poisons Cult Leader’s tone became more conciliatory.
"Myriad Demon Abyss?"
Lu Changsheng was guarded upon hearing this.
Before coming, he and Hong Lian had discussed the Five Poisons Cult Leader in detail.
The other indicated that the Five Poisons Cult Leader, being such a Gu Poison Cultivator, might very well attack from shadows rather than face-to-face.
"Indeed, the Myriad Demon Abyss is an ancient battlefield, and the war between the righteous and demons erupted here back then, many cultivators perished in it, our Five Poisons Cult has many sages buried here. I ask Daoist to go there because I wish to retrieve a Supreme Treasure of our cult."
The Five Poisons Cult Leader’s tender face was exquisite, yet the gaze of seasoned authority spoiled her adorable aura.
"The righteous and demons war has been over for nearly a millennium, if your cult’s Supreme Treasure is in the Myriad Demon Abyss, why wait until now?"
Lu Changsheng raised his doubts, finding it too coincidental.
"The Myriad Demon Abyss is extremely perilous, featuring Fourth Rank demonized beasts. If I didn’t need the Supreme Treasure for cultivation now, I wouldn’t risk my life."
The Five Poisons Cult Leader sighed.
"As a Nascent Soul True Lord, even the Cult Leader doesn’t dare venture easily into the Myriad Demon Abyss, how can I, merely a Core Formation cultivator, dare to enter?"
Lu Changsheng shook his head, speaking.
Firstly, he did not know the situation within the Myriad Demon Abyss.
Even if he knew, he wouldn’t want to set foot in such a place. Who knows if the Five Poisons Cult Leader hasn’t laid an ambush?
The Five Poisons Cult Leader heard the term Core Formation cultivator, a sparkle of crystalline gleam flowed in her eyes, she said: "Our Five Poisons Cult does not excel in direct combat, if entering the Myriad Demon Abyss, encountering Fourth Rank demonized beasts puts us at a disadvantage."
"But Daoist’s combat prowess is outstanding, possessing Top Level Body Refinement, and even having such Top Level Spiritual Beasts, it is even more advantageous."
In her words, the Five Poisons Cult Leader glanced at the nearby Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, its whole body shone golden brilliantly.
Back when this Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng was able to entangle the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master’s Lifebound Corpse King, that was truly astonishing!
From early times, even the Ghost Bat True Master of the Yiming Ghost Sect was gravely wounded by this Golden Peng!
