Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

In fact, the two plans were the same, but Wan Jun Yao Jun lacked a lot of details. After Gu Qing supplemented and explained, the plan seemed more and more feasible.

The actions of a brute are not entirely devoid of wisdom.

There's a saying, "great wisdom appears as foolishness." The more complex the plan, the greater the probability of mistakes during execution. It's best to be straightforward and use open strategies to win.

Therefore, despite the huge gap in combat strength between the two sides, Gu Qing's side still has a pretty high chance of winning if they actually clash.

Having discussed the details with Wan Jun, the bait from Jishan would soon take effect, but Gu Qing wouldn't place her hopes on Wan Jun.

The other party mentioned having a friend to help them, but what if something unexpected happens? If they can't come at the last minute, the ambush might not succeed.

The advantage of striking first is crucial; if it is wasted, it leads to a protracted tug-of-war, making it impossible for the stronger player to establish a new order.

Because of its importance, the Demon Lord Wan Jun will personally attend. In addition, Gu Qing is one of the two exceptional fifth-rank lower-level combatants, so he also contacted the Dragon Lord Zu Jiao of the West Sea Dragon Palace.

Nothing more to it, just watch from the sidelines.

If something unexpected happens, helping Gu Qing kill demons is a risky thing to do; if nothing unexpected happens, continuing to remain hidden in the shadows and persuading him to intervene in the Southern Wilderness Demon Realm is a risky thing to do.

Furthermore, Gu Qing cannot use his signature supernatural abilities that made him famous.

This is very important because of the inheritance from the Phoenix Blood Pool. When he left the Mountain and Sea Realm, he stored a large number of immortal spirit crystals for the purpose of driving immortal artifacts.

The Phoenix Blood Pool, now fully restored and possessing a large reserve of immortal spiritual energy, is a Nirvana Treasure, but at its core, it is an immortal artifact, enough for him to use in a battle.

Overwhelming opponents of the same realm is no problem, but when it comes to going all out, hiding one's identity becomes less important, such as when dealing with the current Demon Emperor.

Once the Skyhawk Clan is wiped out, the news will spread.

The human race could almost immediately conclude that he was responsible, while the demon race could keep it a secret for as long as possible, doing it first and asking questions later, no matter what, they had to make way for his path to enlightenment.

…………

…………

Several months later, we will meet at Jishan.

The demonic clone summoned the leaders of the demon races around Huiji, calling it a banquet, but in reality it was a ceremony to pay homage to the mountain.

He openly declared that in the Pingdingshan area of ​​Huiji, Mo Xuan's words were more effective than those of the Eagle Court. This was not the first time Mo Xuan had challenged the authority of the Eagle Court in the Southern Wilderness.

Many years ago, they had the audacious act of slaughtering the Thousand Feather Eagle Clan, one of the nine great Eagle King clans. These were dogs supported by the Sky-Piercing Eagle Clan. You think you can just wipe them out like that? How can we let you off so easily?

The Eagle Court's decision to grant amnesty was, in fact, a move born out of necessity.

The reputation of the Sky-Soaring Eagle was extremely bad in the Southern Wilderness Demon Realm. At that time, it was actually a point where internal strife broke out, and it compromised under the pressure of the situation in order to stabilize the demon heart.

This part of the demon heart refers to the neutral faction of the demon race in the Southern Wilderness.

At the time, the Chenxing Crocodile Clan wanted to cause trouble and incite the demon people to rebel. It was just a casual act. Mo Xuan's offer of amnesty was regarded as a victory against the Eagle Court.

Those with ulterior motives still look down on Eagle Court.

The neutral faction has become somewhat more stable, but it's useless.

This has instead caused the direct descendants of the Sky-Piercing Eagle Clan, now the six Eagle King Clans, to feel a sense of disheartening dissatisfaction.

Yes, they were raised by you.

But they can't just be wiped out and then left without any acknowledgment, and then be accused of being the culprits of granting amnesty, right? After all, they were just taking the blame for all those ridiculous things that happened.

The impact of the Demon Xuan incident back then was profound, and its lingering effects are still felt today. However, the lackeys have no way out and are bound too tightly, making their fates intertwined.

This also means liquidation.

To be honest, if Mo Xuan hadn't disappeared not long after accepting the imperial pardon, he might have tripped over a stone and fallen to his death.

Now that Mo Xuan has reappeared and revealed his cultivation as a fifth-grade demon lord, Ying Ting must take this bait.

Like a flag, if it doesn't fall, the Eagle Court's rule will only become more and more unstable.

Xuantian Black Market.

The banquet for paying respects to the mountain leader had long ended, and Wildfire said to Demon Xuan's clone with a wry smile.

"I've done everything you asked me to do."

"The patriarch will probably send a spy to meet me up."

"well done."

The demonic clone expressed its appreciation and handed over another jade slip.

"This intelligence is sent to Lord Qiu Feng. Your Crimson Phoenix Eagle clan can be considered as descendants of the Phoenix, although they are a bit mixed, their potential is still quite good."

"Are you really not interested in the phoenix eggs?"

"Just extracting the pure phoenix blood is enough to help the Phoenix Demon Lord advance further. If he truly succeeds in transforming into a phoenix, ascension in the future will not be a pipe dream."

"Why bother being a lackey for those damn eagles?"

Upon hearing this, Wildfire lowered his head even further. He was merely a sixth-rank lower-level demon king; don't talk to me about this!

The demonic clone continued to sow discord.

"Ever since the Demon Emperor obtained the Phoenix Egg, he has even taken back the ancient parasol tree that was given to the Crimson Phoenix Eagle Clan. I heard that your Seeking Phoenix Dao Lord attained enlightenment by relying on the Phoenix Immortal Source Fruit that only ripens once every three thousand years."

"The outcome isn't far off now, is it? To suddenly retract it would be tantamount to suppressing you all, wouldn't those in power rebel against such a scoundrel?"

With three rhetorical questions in a row, how could Brother Wildfire not feel resentful? He was just too lowly to say it, for the Savage Demon Realm had long suffered from the plundering of the Sky Eagles!
Mo Xuan was seen as a major threat by Eagle Court, and Wildfire being controlled was also within their expectations. However, it was still quite appropriate for him to act as a middleman to relay messages between the two sides.

The more subjective feelings are involved in this function, the greater the probability of persuading the Phoenix Demon Lord.

Turning someone to their side was just a casual move by Gu Qing; it would be better if it succeeded, but it wouldn't matter if it didn't.

According to his recent understanding.

Of the remaining six eagle kings, the Golden-backed Eagle was severely damaged and could hardly recover its strength in just over a hundred years, making it almost the weakest.

After the Thousand Feather Eagles were destroyed at Huiji Mountain and Mo Xuan disappeared, the Purple Extreme Demon Eagle and the Crimson Phoenix Eagle fought a battle. The former suffered heavy losses, while the latter gained control of Huiji Mountain.

Strictly speaking, these hounds can only be seen by the four races.

The Chenxing Crocodile Clan, the Horned Wood Dragon Clan, the Winged Tiger Clan, and so on—these are all demon clans that resist and can be suppressed. In addition, there are the powerful bloodline descendants of the Wanjun Demon Lord.

It is almost comparable to the existing core strength of Eagle Court.

The winning rate is getting higher and higher.

While letting Wildfire contact his ancestor.

Eagle Court!

The two demon emperors, the Sky-Plundering Demon Emperor and the Sky-Splitting Demon Emperor, were having a secret discussion. Fifth-rank demons are generally called Demon Lords, but only those of royal blood can be called Demon Emperors. The latter are the next generation of successors they are grooming.

"Are there any truly talented individuals worthy of a challenge at the Beast Tomb?"

“Father, there are only three people in the clan with the potential to break through to the fifth rank. Even with the help of the ferocious beast tomb, only Peng Yao has a chance to break through.”

"Among the affiliated clans, Wang Shu from the Muyue Eagle clan is exceptionally talented and has more potential than Peng Yao. If he can get the chance to enter the Beast Tomb, his probability of breaking through will be the highest."

"Moonlit Eagle—Wangshu!"

The Demon Emperor lowered his head in deep thought. Mo Xuan had to be eliminated; such a mere half-demon was so unruly and a threat to the Eagle Court's rule. But his disappearance for over a hundred years, followed by his return as a fifth-rank demon lord, was truly unbelievable. According to the think tank's speculation, the West Sea Dragon Palace played a crucial role.

He had to consider the possibility of the Dragon Palace interfering in the situation in the Southern Wilderness, and he was not at ease sending only Qiu Feng and Lie Tian.

He was afraid that if he went in person, his lair would be stolen. The old demon emperor had already gone into seclusion and would not contact him unless it was a matter of life and death, so as not to ruin the opportunity for the holy ancestor to become an immortal.

Therefore, the best method is actually to cultivate another fifth-grade demon lord of the Sky-Soaring Eagle Clan, but... he looked at Lie Tian, ​​who was respectfully bowing his head, with a complicated expression.

The Sky-Piercing Eagle Clan ruled the Southern Wilderness for over ten thousand years. They rose to prominence during the Second Great War between Humans and Demons, thus benefiting from the war and replacing the top-tier powerful clans. Strictly speaking, they were essentially stealing a chicken.

They preserved their strength during the bloody battle, but after the war ended in a draw, they launched a heavy attack on their own people. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them treacherous. They gained their position illegitimately, which is why they needed to massacre people to maintain their authority.

This kind of personality is not only true for the old demon emperor, but also for him and his son Lietian. Most of the resources in the Southern Wilderness are controlled by Yingting, but there has been no explosive growth in talent.

Was it because of his bloodline? No, it was because Lie Tian killed those outstanding juniors, because they were capable of competing with him for the next generation's throne as the Heavenly Demon Emperor.

Turning the Demon Emperor into a clan's private inheritance will lead to a bloody power struggle, but he can't say anything about it. He himself fought his way to the top in the same way.

The Muyue Eagle Clan is a demon race in a small world that the Eagle Court has occupied in the Void Battlefield. They have great potential, and whether to fully cultivate them still needs to be considered.

"Ugh………"

With a long sigh, he said that he had no choice but to consider it. If he were to cultivate Peng Yao of his own clan, he might hear news of his death tomorrow. Lie Tian would be the first to object.

Therefore, there is actually only one choice: Wang Shu, the prodigy of the Muyue Eagle clan.

Do you think that child, Wang Shu, is qualified to become your demon queen?

Lie Tian suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with complex emotions. He was weighing whether this matter could bring him any benefit. Appearance and background were only necessary; he had to be able to suppress the Demon Queen in order for her to become his ally.

Without thinking for long, he lowered his head and said.

"Your subject thanks Father for bestowing this marriage upon you!"

"Then let's arrange it this way. First, let Wang Shu go into seclusion in the Beast Tomb. Once she has successfully broken through, you can marry her and take the opportunity to invite Mo Xuan to Eagle Court to pay your respects."

"Yes!"

The Demon Emperor of the Sky did not intend to send anyone to kill Mo Xuan. The Eagle Court's power was not reliable enough. Considering that the West Sea Dragon Palace might intervene, he preferred to set up a trap.

This was actually a wonderful misunderstanding, and Gu Qing did indeed invite a Dragon Lord to help him. A series of coincidences, coupled with the Demon Emperor's cautious nature, created a new situation.

Using Mo Xuan as bait is an open scheme, and although Wan Jun Yao Jun has not been exposed, Lue Tian does not want to take any risks at all.

No one who reaches this level is a fool.

When Mo Xuan returns to Huiji Mountain, he is still nominally a demon king belonging to Yingting. If you don't attend the crown prince's wedding, it's against the law and etiquette, and you'll be charged with disrespect.

They were expelled from the list of demons and designated as sinful demons.

Just when Guangming will reclaim the territory around Pingdingshan, he will truly be all alone.

This is also a calculated move.

Cutting off the possibility of Mo Xuan vying for the position of Demon Emperor was not a big deal for Gu Qing. Even a powerful demon immortal three thousand years ago could not unify the Eight Desolate Demon Clan and restore the glory of the ancient demon court.

The root cause is that the bloodline of half-demon is impure, and the demon race does not recognize it.

However, there is still a great chance of ruling the Demon Realm, one of the Eight Desolations.

Gu Qing used this as bait, not because he really wanted to become the Demon Emperor of the Southern Wilderness. After Lue Tian made a response, his idea of ​​attacking him from two sides and cutting off one of his arms seemed to have failed.

as time flows.

The news of the marriage between Crown Prince Yingting and the Demon Emperor Lietian spread throughout the Southern Wilderness Demon Realm, with the topic of inviting Mo Xuan as a guest causing a great uproar.

The Demon Lord Wan Jun specifically contacted Gu Qing to ask if he wanted to change his plan and kill him outright! Turning a wedding into a funeral, this Demon Lord, who was extremely hostile to eagles, could not bear to see the Sky-Piercing Eagle Clan grow stronger.

Gu Qing had to give him a long speech to calm him down before he agreed to hold back and curb his reckless nature.

Attending the Feast at Hongmen is out of the question.

The Dragon Lord of Zujiao is just a safety net; he wouldn't actually incite a war between the Dragon Clan and the Demon Clan just for Gu Qing's sake. The peace of the four seas is also something they achieved through their strength.

If the demon race interferes in the affairs of the Eight Desolations, they will definitely collude and unite, just like Gu Qing prevented the human race from interfering in this matter. This will directly trigger the situation in the Eight Desolations and cause a racial war.

He couldn't bear the consequences.

The intensity of the war must be kept within the southern wilderness; internal strife is the best policy. If foreign aid intervenes, the damage will be irreversible.

Just as Gu Qing was pondering a way to break the deadlock.

Unexpectedly, news came from Baiyue Mountain that Gu Zhixuan and even Chu Tiangong knew that Mo Xuan was his true identity, and that Ying Ting's movements were already under close surveillance by Baiyue Mountain.

He underestimated the abilities of the immortal sects; they tried to stop him before anything even began.

Gu Zhixuan arrived in a hurry.

"Gu Qing, you're being incredibly irrational! How could you just attack Ying Ting like that?!"

"If this leads to a third racial war, you can't afford the consequences, and neither can the Baiyue Mountains!"

"Don't be impatient."

Gu Qing quickly stepped forward to pour tea.

"Third Ancestor, things are not as you think. The human race will not be involved."

"There are no secrets in the world, and you're going against the entire Eagle Court all by yourself. Are you out of your mind? The Sky-Plundering Demon Emperor is a top-tier expert at the upper fifth rank, not to mention the Old Demon Emperor."

"That person has even fought against the Immortal Lord of Baiyue; he's a living history of the Cangwu cultivation world!"

Gu Qing's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Does shooting a wind blade from 800 miles away count as engaging in combat?

"Dealing with Eagle Court is naturally not something I'll handle."

Next, Gu Qing recounted the stories of Wan Jun Demon Lord, Ding Feng Pearl, the mysterious Primordial Domain Demon Lord, the defection of Qiu Feng Demon Lord, and Zu Jiao Dragon Lord.

That's Gu Zhixuan for you. If the Second Ancestor Feng Xian asked him, he wouldn't even bother to answer.

After hearing Gu Qing's plan, Gu Zhixuan fell silent.

Upon careful consideration, it's quite possible that the Sky-Piercing Eagle Clan could be wiped out. If we could persuade Senior Brother Feng Xian to participate, it would be a good insurance policy against the Old Demon Emperor.

hiss---

Heart-beating!

His blood boiled, but he suppressed it. He couldn't start this. Gu Qing still had two identities, Feng Xuan and Mo Xuan, to cover up his actions. Baiyue Mountain absolutely could not get involved.

"With the wedding of the Heaven-Splitting Demon Emperor, your plan to lure the snake out of its hole has basically failed. How will you deal with the old Demon Emperor? Lacking top experts, the Wind-Stabilizing Pearl can only handle one at most."

"I have my own way."

"Third Ancestor, if you truly want to help me, why not try contacting Lord Qiu Feng?"

"I come?"

Gu Zhixuan seemed lost in thought. (End of Chapter)
