Ah? The ladies I stabbed have come true.

Chapter 167 Sun Wukong Rebels, Better to Die for My Fellow Daoist Than for Myself
Just then, Iron Fan arrived with tea and stood outside the door, overhearing your conversation.

Hearing your response to Bai Ningshuang filled me with sweetness.

However, she couldn't be too complacent, lest she further upset Bai Ningshuang.

You see the iron fan standing at the door and quickly get up.

He then took the tea from her hand.

"Thank you for your hard work during this time."

Iron Fan, however, did not take credit, but instead looked at Bai Ningshuang beside her.

"It's said to be hard work, but Sister Ningshuang has had it even harder than me."

"I've been refining elixirs for you day and night, and I've lost a lot of weight."

"Alright, you're still recovering from your serious injuries, you should rest more."

As she spoke, Iron Fan had already pushed you back onto the bed and covered you with a thin white brocade quilt.

With a wave of your hand, you feel drowsy and fall into a state of sleepiness.

Bai Ningshuang looked at the iron fan with gratitude in her eyes, but also with a hint of envy and jealousy, unsure of how to conduct herself.

In the end, all that could be done was to say goodbye.

"You two stay here for now. I'll go check on the alchemy furnace in the pill room."

After speaking, Bai Ningshuang left, her departing figure somewhat forlorn.

Seeing her leave, you also pulled Iron Fan's hand into your embrace.

"I'm going to sleep. Stay with me."

[Iron Fan's beautiful eyes, like black gemstones, sparkled with love and doting affection for you. She gently lowered her head and lightly kissed your forehead with her crimson lips.]

"Go to sleep, I'll stay with you, I won't leave."

Looking at the beautiful face of the Iron Fan, you felt as if she were a masterpiece created by the heavens, embodying all the beauty in the world.

You slept for ten days straight, during which time Iron Fan stayed by your side without leaving your side for a moment.

Meanwhile, exciting news arrived from outside Mount Shu.

That means the Bull Demon King and his sworn brothers have rebelled.

They even stormed the Southern Heavenly Gate, inflicting heavy losses on the heavenly soldiers.

These celestial soldiers were all originally scattered immortals with low magical power, who only sought to ascend to the celestial realm; once they accumulated enough merit, they would succeed.

The benefit of ascension is escaping the cycle of birth and death, the limitation of lifespan, and gaining a better cultivation environment. Those less powerful immortals who ascend can become menial servants, sweeping floors and serving tea; the better ones can join the celestial army and serve under a particular celestial soldier.

In terms of combat strength, these celestial soldiers and generals are not as good as you.

Now that the Bull Demon King and his sworn brothers have joined forces to rebel against Heaven, the Asura clan naturally needs to sever ties with them.

According to Iron Fan, after this incident, the Asura King sent a letter expressing his gratitude to you.

If you hadn't taken her away, the Asura clan would also be implicated now.

[He also said that Princess Iron Fan should go home to prepare for your wedding.]

[Now that you are the undisputed next leader of the Shu Mountain Sect, and possess immense power even in the Immortal Realm, marrying you and becoming your Daoist partner would not disgrace the Asura race.]

You are happy, and so is Princess Iron Fan.

After a brief farewell, Iron Fan left. She needed to prepare herself for your wedding in the Asura Kingdom.

After another month of rest, you fully recovered.

[During this time, the effects of Bai Ningshuang's miraculous medicines were indispensable, therefore you are very grateful to Bai Ningshuang.]

Bai Ningshuang felt quite uncomfortable with your politeness.

[I'm so angry I'm never seeing you again.]

Seeing this, you're happy to have some peace and quiet, but soon, something happens that will dampen your spirits.

The main hall of Mount Shu is the Qiankun Hall, which enshrines the ancestral masters who ascended to immortality throughout history.

[But you find that whenever you approach the Qiankun Palace, there is a strange repulsive force. If you force your way in, the red spots on your body will reappear, and your body will feel as if it is engulfed in demonic fire, causing excruciating pain.]

You feel quite panicked, but you don't know why.

But after thinking it over, I still feel it must be due to the blood nerve I cultivate.

Although the patriarchs of past generations have ascended to immortality, a wisp of their divine consciousness still remains in Mount Shu to watch over it.

Now that I've found you, I don't know what to do.

After much deliberation, you finally decided to temporarily leave Mount Shu.

[Even without bidding farewell, the two True Immortals, Lian Yisheng and Lian Yichen, left Mount Shu.]

After you leave, I plan to find a secluded stronghold to cultivate the Blood Scripture to its full potential.

According to the Blood Scripture, once mastered, one will return to one's original, primal nature, and no more demonic tendencies will manifest.

Unbeknownst to you, you've arrived at Yue Family Village, the place you visited back then.

[When Yue Longcheng saw you arrive, he was overjoyed.]

"No wonder my left eye kept twitching, it turns out my benefactor has arrived."

"My benefactor, come quickly! I will prepare a banquet to welcome you."

[Upon hearing this, you did not step forward, but instead revealed your purpose.]

"Now that I have become the personal disciple of the head of the Shu Mountain Sect, I feel that my merits are insufficient and I need to accumulate more merits and do good deeds."

Do you know where those three evil cultivators were that day?

Upon hearing your words, Yue Longcheng's expression turned surprised.

"It's been a long time since I last saw you. My benefactor has received such great fortune. You are truly blessed."

"As far as I know, Mao Fang has been cultivating in the Poison Dragon Pool of the Ten Thousand Poison Mountain, which is seven hundred miles to the west."

"I don't even know about his two friends."

After hearing the information provided by Yue Longcheng, you thanked him and then flew towards the Poison Dragon Pool of Ten Thousand Poisons Mountain on your sword.

After traveling about six hundred li, you looked into the distance and saw only dark red clouds and a purplish-red mountain range stretching across the land, with not a single ordinary person's dwelling on the ground.

You thought to yourself, "This must be the location of the Ten Thousand Poisons Mountain."

They quickened their pace and soon arrived at the mountainside. You were overwhelmed by a pungent, sweet-smelling odor that made you drowsy.

Seeing this, you take out an antidote and put it in your mouth. A cool sensation washes over you, isolating you from the drowsiness and the poison.

Fly into it, and you will see a poisonous pool nestled within the Ten Thousand Poisons Mountain range.

[At the edge of the poisonous pool were many animal carcasses that had not yet decomposed, and long-dried, stark white bones.]

The pool water was a deep, dark green, and appeared bottomless.

Just as you were about to search for the hairy creature's trail, a strange bird flew by. It had three heads and six legs, its feathers were brightly colored, and its claws were as hard as iron. If it caught you, you would surely suffer broken bones and broken tendons.

At that moment, the Fire Dragon Sword automatically protected its master, transforming into a fire dragon that flew out, its entire body engulfed in flames, and coiled around the strange bird.

The strange bird cried out in agony as its feathers burned.

Seeing this, you immediately severed the three heads of the three-headed monster bird.

The strange bird lost its footing and fell into the Poison Dragon Pool. A splash was heard, and a dark green poisonous dragon flew out of the pool, its venomous jaws snapping shut and swallowing the strange bird whole.

Seeing this, you showed no mercy, unleashing the three swords of the Taiyi Golden Essence Sword to annihilate the poisonous dragon.

Although the venomous dragon's scales were tough, it was quickly cut and wounded all over when facing a rare treasure like the Taiyi Golden Essence Sword.

The venomous dragon, unable to withstand the attack, plunged into the pool and vanished.

[You retrieved your flying sword, and couldn't help but recall the events described by the second primordial spirit of True Immortal Baiyang.]

[That means he once slew hundreds of demonic dragons and venomous serpents in just a few hours. If you can reach that level, you can rest assured.]

Reaching the edge of the pool, you cast a water-parting spell and jumped directly into the water.

This pool is much deeper than you can imagine; you've dived thousands of meters and still haven't reached the bottom.

[At the same time, this Poison Dragon Pool is shaped like the mouth of a gourd, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, stretching for tens of thousands of meters.]

You dived nearly 10,000 meters to reach the bottom of the pool.

[Furthermore, you see a palace at the bottom of the pool with the three large characters "Poison Dragon Palace" on it.]

[Quite magnificent and luxurious.]

As you get closer, you realize that although the Poison Dragon Palace is at the bottom of the pool, it is completely dry, without a trace of water.

Upon closer inspection, you'll discover that this Poison Dragon Palace contains numerous water-repelling pearls.

[This prevented the water from flowing into the pool.]

Considering Yue Longcheng's statement that Mao Fang had been cultivating in the Poison Dragon Pool, it's highly likely that the Poison Dragon Palace in front of you is Mao Fang's place of cultivation.

[Then, you stormed directly to the front of the Poison Dragon Palace.]

[Using a flying sword to break through the palace gate's array and restrictions, and pushing open the gate, the palace was as bright as day.]

Upon closer inspection, it was found to be many precious pearls radiating light.

You can't help but marvel at Mao Fang's extravagance; he possesses so many treasures that are hard to find elsewhere.

[But what you don't know is that this Poison Dragon Pool wasn't always like this. A dragon lord lived here, and the Poison Dragon Palace was his residence.]

Later, Mao drove them away and seized the Dragon Palace.

Because the Mao Fang Ghost Fire Bag was too powerful, the reinforcements summoned by the Dragon Lord were all repelled, forcing them to find another place to stay.

Just as you were about to check, you discovered that Mao Fang was sitting on the Dragon King's throne, eyes closed, face ashen, clearly lost in thought.

You are somewhat disappointed.

[The purpose of coming here is to obtain Mao Fang's primordial spirit.]

[Now that the other party is lost in thought and it's unknown when they will return, it has ruined your plans.]

[Then, you directly severed Mao Fang's arms and legs, turning him into a human stump. After stopping the bleeding and looting Mao Fang's treasures, you quietly waited for Mao Fang to return.]

Mao Fang was unaware of the calamity he had suffered.

Because his two personal magical artifacts, the Ghost Fire Bag and the Poison Dragon Sword, were destroyed, his strength was greatly reduced. He specifically called upon his friends, wanting them to gather at the Poison Dragon Palace.

[I'm prepared to spend a large sum of money to purchase materials for crafting magical artifacts from fellow Daoists.]

[By the way, I would like to ask everyone to donate some of the will-o'-the-wisps they have collected over the years so that they can refine the will-o'-the-wisps bag again.]

[Because the primordial spirit of evil cultivators is formed from accumulated yin energy, unlike the primordial spirit formed from accumulated yang energy of righteous cultivators, they are unable to perceive the conditions around their bodies.]

Just as he was about to get up, he discovered that his arms and legs had vanished, and with a tumble, he rolled off the Dragon King's throne.

Startled by the sound, you rose from the back hall to investigate and found Mao Fang, whose body had been chopped into a human stump, screaming in despair on the ground.

"who!"

"Who has dared to mock me like this!"

Upon hearing this, you ceased concealing yourself and stepped out from the rear hall.

Mao Fang recognized you immediately.

[A roar filled with bloodshot eyes.]

"It's you!"

"We have no grudge against each other, we only fought once, why do you have to put me in this situation!"

Your gaze turned cold upon hearing this.

"I just need some of the primordial spirits of evil cultivators."

"Since I know you're here, I won't bother looking for you anywhere else."

After saying that, you prepared to end Mao Fang's life.

Mao Fang was terrified. If you were to capture his primordial spirit, he would have no chance of reincarnation and cultivation again!

"Better to sacrifice a friend than myself," Mao Fang immediately devised a solution to the life-or-death crisis before him.

"stop!"

"Don't kill me!"

"Didn't you want the primordial spirit of the evil cultivator?"

I'll tell you where to find it!
