Chapter 2762 - 892: Vanquishing Shi Hai, Demon Consort’s Sixfold Opportunity (Double-Length, 8,000 Monthly Tickets)_4

The ghostly soul maid’s cold, nether ghost energy instantly spread, as she reverently cradled that dazzlingly fair jade foot, serving it like a pilgrim in worship.

The other two ghostly soul maidens also sent out their chilling ghost energy, stepping forward to help the Six Paths Demon Consort suppress the burning desire in her body.

"Just hold on for a little while longer. Once I’ve gathered enough resources, I can leave this place..."

Si Guihua lay in the bath, her beautiful eyes opening and closing, quietly pondering in her heart.

These years in the Land of Eternal Night, she could be said to have been like a fish in water.

Not only did she harvest countless soul crystals by hunting bizarre lifeforms, raising her ghostly soul maids by a whole level, she even obtained a top-level opportunity.

A Ghost Demon!

A Ghost Demon sacrificial priestess had contacted her.

She had proactively sent over a [Ghost Soul Demon Crystal], hoping to cooperate with her.

Through the Ghost Soul Demon Crystal, her long-silent mana completely revived.

By working with the Ghost Demon, she obtained more [Ghost Soul Demon Crystals], and her Cultivation Level rose without end.

If not for the fact that this was the Land of Eternal Night, her Cultivation Level would already have broken through to Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Only, absorbing too many Ghost Soul Demon Crystals caused demonic intent to surge through her body, demonic desire gradually climbing. At times, once it hit a certain point, it became impossible to suppress.

Thus.

Every so often, she had to bathe, toying with jade artifacts imbued with cold energy, while her ghostly soul maids assisted her, dousing the demonic desire deep within her flesh.

"The pain I’m enduring here, I’ll pay back a hundredfold when the time comes!"

Si Guihua could already leave the Land of Eternal Night, yet she chose not to, continuing to cooperate with the Ghost Demon, precisely to borrow the Ghost Demon’s resources to fully nurture and elevate her White Bone Ghost King and ghostly soul maidens.

By then, once she left the Land of Eternal Night, she would directly possess the strength of an old Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator.

Not only could she seek out Xuanmu Taoist to vent her hatred and take revenge, she would also leap to become one of the top Cultivators of Starry Sky Sea, a Nascent Soul Giant!

Standing side by side with Shen Jianjia, the Star King, the Moon Venerate, and the Sea Suppression Ancestor, those renowned Cultivators.

Just the thought of taking revenge on Xuanmu Taoist made the Six Paths Demon Consort feel the fire of demonic desire deep in her body roar out of control.

Even after more than ten years, she still could not forget the atrocities he had inflicted upon her!

Under the influence of demonic desire, they were etched ever deeper...

...

Liang Country, Barebody Sect.

"It’s fine. For everything, just make your own decisions. If you make a mistake, then you make a mistake. Your father will shoulder it. As for facing Fen Mo, you don’t need to think too much. Just treat him as an equal."

Lu Changsheng spoke to his son, Lu Lingxiao.

Though the Liang Yue War had ended and the dust had settled.

As the Deputy City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City, Changsheng True Master couldn’t just wash his hands of everything and leave.

He had to represent Great Dream Immortal City in handling some matters, such as interfacing with Jiang Yue’s forces, taking over assets, or arranging war prisoners, and so on.

Previously, the Demon Path war prisoners had indeed been subdued by True Monarch Fen Mo.

But now the war was over; as for specific arrangements, he still had to draft a set of regulations on his side.

Even though his son Lu Lingxiao, the Young City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City, was handling matters.

There were still some things Lu Lingxiao couldn’t decide on his own and had to come ask him.

After instructing his son, telling him to act boldly, Lu Changsheng suddenly thought of a saying.

Conquering the world is easy; governing the world is hard!

Back during the Liang Yue War, he hadn’t needed to worry about anything.

Just one person, one banner, one sword, one roc was enough.

But now, faced with the trivial matters after the war, he felt headaches instead.

And this was only part of it.

He could already envision the myriad problems once they completely took over Jiang Country.

By then, Demon Cultivators causing trouble, Robber Cultivators stirring chaos, the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range in turmoil, and so on—all would require him to worry and resolve. There would be no one standing in front to bear the brunt.

Taking advantage of this window of time, Lu Changsheng went to meet with Li Feiyu.

"Feiyu, it’s been a long time."

After several decades apart, when the two met again, no matter what, that natural closeness of their younger years was missing.

Especially now that the two of them—one was the Deputy City Lord of a top-level power, [Great Dream Immortal City], while the other belonged to the defeated nation as a war prisoner.

Fortunately, after so long to prepare himself, Li Feiyu already had the mental readiness.

Seeing Lu Changsheng still the same as in their early years, he let out a bitter laugh, and his heart relaxed, becoming calm.

"Sigh, I’ve made a joke of myself in front of you."

Looking at the Lu Changsheng before him, clad in a green robe, handsome as an immortal, Li Feiyu really found it hard to overlap him with the old friend in his memory.

"What joke? Breaking through to False Core makes you a figure in your own right wherever you go."

Lu Changsheng took out a pot of wine from his Storage Bag, poured for both of them, and said, "As for me, don’t bother comparing. The achievements I have today are all thanks to great opportunities falling into my lap."

"Sigh, I really can’t compare, can’t compare." Li Feiyu shook his head, sighing with emotion. "Back then I knew you had great opportunities ahead of you, but I truly never imagined you’d grow to this level."

"If I’d known this, I wouldn’t have gone to Azure Phoenix Immortal City. I might as well have stayed behind to help you look after your home as a Protector."

Li Feiyu joked.

"No need to look after my home. With Xiao Hei there, it’s already enough."

Lu Changsheng quipped.

Li Feiyu naturally knew that Xiao Hei was the Nine Netherhound.

Back when he’d returned to Bi Lake Mountain, the Nine Netherhound had already advanced to Second Rank.

"Xiao Hei should be close to Third Rank by now, right?" Li Feiyu asked, not knowing the recent situation of the Nine Netherhound.

After all, he’d been in Liang Country all this time. Though he knew a bit about Yue Country and even Jiang Country, his information wasn’t very up to date.

"It’s already Third Rank." Lu Changsheng lightly sipped his wine and smiled faintly.

"..." Li Feiyu suddenly didn’t know how to respond.

So after all this struggling and fighting outside for so many years, he still wasn’t as good as a dog at his old friend’s home?

His expression grew dazed, emotions surging. He vaguely remembered, more than one hundred and twenty years ago, Lu Changsheng had cradled that wolf-like, dog-like Nine Netherhound pup and come to the Crimson Whale Gang to find him.

At the time, he’d even worried that the other didn’t understand the Beast Taming Skill, and that raising such a Demon Beast cub at home would fail, leaving it impossible to tame.
