Immortality from plundering luck

Chapter 167 Purple Cloud Mountains
Thinking of this, Wu Longjiang nodded, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Xuzhou is located in the easternmost part of Dayong. The east is close to the sea. Except for some scattered islands, there is no need to expand. To the north is Qingzhou. After the destruction of Qinglong Temple last time, Qingzhou has not yet seen a decent force. If we attack Qingzhou, it will not take too long and consume too much energy to completely occupy Qingzhou."

"To the south of Xuzhou, it is adjacent to Yangzhou. Yangzhou belongs to the southern region and has a large population. It has thirteen counties, which is almost three times the population of Xuzhou. The area is two or three times that of Xuzhou, and the cultivation resources are extremely rich."

"Although Yangzhou currently has a profound foundation, rich cultivation resources, and many warriors, there is no force that can completely unify Yangzhou. Currently, the entire Yangzhou is divided into three parts, Qinghu Island, Guiyuan Sect, and Tieying Sect. Among these three major forces, Qinghu Island is the most powerful, occupying eight of the thirteen counties in Yangzhou and having hundreds of thousands of disciples. The strongest among them is the Grand Elder of Qinghu Island, Hei Xiazi, who has the strength of the late Yuandan realm."

"The overall strength of the entire Qinghu Island is even stronger than our Yanmo Gang. In addition to Hei Xiazi, a warrior in the late Yuandan realm, their clan leader is also in the Yuandan realm. As for Yuye realm warriors, it is said that there are as many as twenty of them, and hundreds of Zhenqi realm warriors. Their overall strength is slightly better than ours."

"Qinghu Island, Black Blind?" Shi He muttered to himself.

I didn't expect that there are actually several Yuandan realm warriors in Yangzhou, especially this Black Blind Man, who actually possesses the strength of the late Yuandan realm. What a pity, what a pity, my main body is not here. Although my clone has the strength of the ninth level of Yuandan realm, I don't know what its combat capability is.

Realm and combat power are not the same, especially Shi He's willow wood clone, which does not have the physical strength of the main body to be able to fight across levels.

"It's better to wait for a while until the main body continues to deduce the Flame Demon Sutra to a few more realms. We are just about to reach the Purple Cloud Mountains. Huang Teng and the others can serve as my feed. As long as I absorb their luck, it should be enough to support me to enter the middle stage of the Purple Mansion Realm."

"In this way, the strength of my willow wood clone should be enough to enter the Purple Mansion Realm. Then killing this black blind man will be a piece of cake, right?"

Shi He was thinking in his heart.

Wu Longjiang continued to introduce the situation in Yangzhou: "In addition to Qinghu Island, although the Guiyuan Sect is slightly weaker, it should not be underestimated. The Guiyuan Sect occupies four counties and also has one Yuandan Realm warrior and seven Yuye Realm warriors. Its leader Zhuge Yuanhong and deputy leader Teng Qingshan are both top Yuye Realm perfect warriors and may enter the Yuandan Realm at any time. The Guiyuan Sect has more than 100,000 disciples, including 5,000 black armor soldiers, all of whom are elite."

"The Iron Eagle Sect is the weakest among the three major forces, but it is also particularly outstanding to be able to survive among the two major forces. The Iron Eagle Sect also has a Yuandan Realm warrior, several Yuye Realm warriors, tens of thousands of disciples, and a county. From the perspective of the situation, Yangzhou is now in a state of balance and confrontation. The two major sects, Guiyuan Sect and Iron Eagle Sect, have united to compete with Qinghu Island."

"If we enter Yangzhou, it will cause changes in the situation in Yangzhou. However, for the gang leader, this so-called late Yuandan realm black blind man is nothing more than an enemy with one palm."

Wu Longjiang said with a faint smile.

He knew that the gang leader's strength had already broken through the Purple Mansion Realm. The gap between Purple Mansion Realm warriors and Yuandan Realm warriors was like a chasm.

No matter how powerful Hei Xiazi, who is in the late Yuandan realm, is, he will never be a match for the gang leader as long as he has not broken through the Zifu realm.

In response to Wu Longjiang's flattery, Shi He nodded without comment and asked, "What about the west?"

"Xuzhou is adjacent to Xiangzhou to the west. The situation in Xiangzhou is similar to that of Xuzhou. The top forces are the two major families, the Nangong family and the Ximen family. Both families have a Yuandan realm warrior, and their overall strength is similar. However, in addition to the two major families, Xuzhou also has a place where monsters live, called Yueyangze."

"In this Yueyang Lake, which covers thousands of miles of water, there lives a great monster, a Yuandan realm perfection realm, named Black Wind Dragon, which has lived for thousands of years. This Yueyang Lake can be said to be the Black Wind Dragon's lair, and it has given birth to many offspring."

"In fact, speaking of great monsters, there are several in Yangzhou. Their strength is extremely astonishing. If I am not mistaken, there are probably two great monsters in the Purple Mansion Realm or even higher in Yangzhou."

"Among them, there is a great monster named Purple Light Flood Dragon. There were records of it five thousand years ago. At that time, this monster was already in the Purple Mansion Realm. After five thousand years, I'm afraid its strength has reached an extremely high level. I'm afraid no one in Dayong today can deal with this guy."

"Was it the Purple Mansion Realm five thousand years ago?" Shi He was stunned.

I didn’t expect that such a ferocious monster was hidden in this small place like Yangzhou.

"That's right," Wu Longjiang said solemnly, "In addition, in the abyss where this purple dragon is hiding, there is also a demon beast above the Purple Mansion Realm, called the Golden Dragon Turtle, which may have gone through thousands of years."

"Two demon beasts above the Purple Mansion Realm?" Shi He was confused for a moment, but soon he thought of a question: "Since these two demon beasts are so powerful, why don't they have any reputation?"

According to Shi He's idea, if the strength of these two monsters is really so terrifying, then the whole Yangzhou and even the whole Dayong should be shocked by it. However, this is the first time he has heard Wu Longjiang say this. You know, he never knew this before.

What does it mean to have two demon beasts above the Purple Mansion Realm? Even the notorious Ten Thousand Demon Ridge is not so powerful.

Wu Longjiang pondered for a moment and said, "This is because these two monsters rarely appear in front of the world, and the abyss where they live is sparsely populated with monsters. If it weren't for Teng Qingshan of Guiyuan Sect who accidentally dived into the abyss and encountered the purple dragon, otherwise, even after thousands of years, no one would know the whereabouts of this dragon."

"Huh," Shi He exhaled after hearing this, frowning and saying, "I didn't expect that Yangzhou actually had two such terrifying monsters hidden. This is difficult to deal with. No one knows what these two monsters are thinking. If we suddenly provoke these two monsters when we attack Yangzhou, I'm afraid the casualties will be extremely heavy."

"A monster of this level can easily kill a True Qi Realm warrior with just one breath."

"So, if we want to attack Yangzhou, we must make sure that these two monsters will not attack, or we must be able to capture these two monsters in one fell swoop."

Shi He said slowly.

“Yes, I even suspect that the reason why Guiyuan Sect was able to confront Qinghu Island was probably because of these two monsters,” Wu Longjiang said slowly with a serious expression, “No one knows what kind of relationship Teng Qingshan has with these two monsters.”

"If we want to capture the entire Yangzhou, we will inevitably come into conflict with the Guiyuan Sect."

"In that case," Shi He nodded slightly and said expressionlessly, "We can only consider going up or west. Qingzhou is easy to deal with. As you said, Qingzhou has completely fallen apart after the fall of Qinglong Temple and has become a land without an owner. As the ones who destroyed Qinglong Temple, we should take over all the heritage of Qinglong Temple."

"Longjiang," Shi He said in a deep voice.

"I'm here!" Wu Longjiang said with a tense expression.

"You must lead 50,000 disciples and all the Black Demon Cavalry immediately and take over the entire Qingzhou within five days. If there is resistance, kill them all."

"Send all the resources you have obtained to the Xuzhou headquarters. If you take Qingzhou, then establish a branch in Qingzhou and appoint a third-level garrison commander to guard it."

Shi He said lightly.

"I think Zhou Boyuan is a good guy. Once he takes over Qingzhou, he will be in charge of it directly." "I understand!" Wu Longjiang said in a deep voice.

He did not have much objection to Shi He's ordering Zhou Boyuan to be responsible for taking over Qingzhou.

After all, Zhou Boyuan is the gang leader's confidant and has outstanding abilities. He was born in the Demon Sect and has both insight and courage, making him the perfect person to guard a state.

Moreover, he just broke through the second level of Jade Liquid Realm a few days ago. It can be seen that his talent for cultivation is definitely not bad.

All that was missing was an opportunity.

"That's it, after you completely take over Qingzhou, you can come to me again," Shi He stood up suddenly and said lightly, "Of course, if you encounter any difficult enemies, come to me immediately. However, it should be unlikely now. After all, Qinglong Temple has been destroyed, and the remaining guys are not worth mentioning."

"I understand." Wu Longjiang nodded.

Shi He glanced at him. Although the latter was now at the ninth level of Jade Liquid Realm, which seemed pretty good originally, he was not doing so well now.

Can't keep up with the surrounding environment.

After all, Qingzhou, Yangzhou and Xiangzhou around Xuzhou all have Yuandan realm warriors, but Xuzhou itself has none, which shows the scarcity of resources in Xuzhou.

Thinking of this, Shi He reminded him, "You should also hurry up and practice, and quickly break through to the Yuandan realm. Otherwise, your position as the deputy leader will be somewhat inferior to the Yuandan realm warriors in Qingzhou."

"I understand. I will seize the time to practice." A bitter smile appeared on Wu Longjiang's lips.

It is not easy to break through the realm, not to mention that it has only been a short time since he broke through from the eighth level of Yuye Realm to the ninth level of Yuandan Realm.

It is even more difficult to break through to the Yuandan realm.

Looking at Shi He's departing back, Wu Longjiang secretly made up his mind to break through to the Yuandan realm within this year.

Otherwise, as the gang leader said, there are four Yuandan realm warriors in Yangzhou, originally there was one in Qingzhou, and now there are two in Xiangzhou. However, as the Yanmo Gang that unified the entire Xuzhou area, except for the gang leader, it does not even have a single Yuandan realm warrior.

How is this possible?

No, I can't rely solely on the gang leader's personal strength in future battles, while I, as the deputy gang leader, don't have any strength to help.

This was something that Wu Longjiang, the former leader of Xuzhou, could not allow.

On the other side, Shi He had just separated from the consciousness of the clone and returned to the main body when he heard Huang Teng, who was sitting in front, suddenly say, "We're here."

Shi He stood up and looked into the distance. As expected, he could see mountains looming in the distance under the drifting white mist, like a huge demon dragon lying on the ground.

You can see lush greenery and rich spiritual energy in the distance. It is definitely an excellent place for cultivation.

However, Shi He could vaguely feel that deep in the mountains, there were several strong demonic auras rising into the sky.

"There must be a big monster here!" Shi He narrowed his eyes, feeling the demonic energy rising into the sky. Even the white fog that filled the whole mountain and the extremely dense spiritual energy could not cover it up.

Moreover, looking at the density of the demonic energy, he could feel that the strength and realm of the great demon hidden in the mountains were definitely far beyond his.

"Are these guys coming here to take me to my death?"

Thinking of this, Shi He began to doubt in his heart. He even thought that these guys might have seen through his hidden strength, so they wanted to use a demon to kill people.

But as soon as this idea came to his mind, he ruthlessly abandoned it.

After all, this was ridiculous. They had provoked the great monster lurking in the mountains. Even if Shi He died, they could not escape.

"Is this the Ziyun Mountain Range?" Shi He looked at Jiang Heng beside him and asked calmly, "Brother Jiang, is there no big monster in the Ziyun Mountain Range?"

"How is that possible?" Jiang Heng laughed. Seeing that Shi He had followed him all the way here, he felt much better. He squinted his eyes and replied, "This Ziyun Mountain Range is not an ordinary place. There are several big monsters lurking deep in the mountains. Among them are monsters from the Tianhe Realm and even monsters from the Xingchen Realm."

"Star Realm?" Shi He raised his eyebrows, his face full of disbelief.

"That's right," Huang Teng said, "Brother Shi, do you think that only humans in this Central Continent have the power of the Star Realm? How is that possible? This Central Continent is rich in cultivation resources and abundant in spiritual energy. For us human warriors, it is an excellent place for cultivation, but for monsters, it is an even more perfect habitat."

"In Central Continent, there are seven known great demons in the Star Realm, one of which lives in the Purple Cloud Mountains."

"After all, there are few places like the Ziyun Mountains where spiritual energy gathers, even in the entire Central Continent."

"Wouldn't it be dangerous for us to come here? What if this big demon from the star realm suddenly comes out from the depths, then we would have no way to escape?" Shi He said in his heart.

"How is that possible?" Zhou Yuantong, who looked down on Shi He, said with contempt, "This great demon in the Star Realm is nothing. We are just a few small shrimps to it. Only warriors of the same realm who break into the Purple Cloud Mountains will attract its attention."
