Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 273 Mountain Infiltrator
Wuxian Mountain is covered with wildflowers, but its beauty conceals danger.

"Taiping Daoist? He actually forced Qinghua Niangniang to retreat? How is that possible?"

"Could it be that sword cultivators are truly this powerful? No, how could that be? If a sword cultivator at the Qi Refining Perfection stage could force a Dao Foundation stage demon to seal itself away, then the world would have already belonged to sword cultivators, and what would be left for us?"

In the Five Immortals Mountain, looking at the scene before him, Crocodile Tong's face was full of disbelief.

It received orders from Crocodile Abyss and came from Qing Teng County, wanting to have a good talk with Lady Qinghua. However, it did not expect that as soon as it entered Qingyuan County, it heard the news that the demons of Wuxian Mountain had been subdued by a sword cultivator and were hiding in fear.

When it first heard the news, it just smiled, thinking that it was just a human cultivator boasting. After all, others might not know, but it knew that there was a Dao Foundation level demon hidden in the Five Immortal Mountains. Unless a Dao Foundation level sword cultivator made a move, it was destined to be nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter.

But as time passed and it got closer to Mount Wuxian, it gathered more and more information and realized something was wrong. When it arrived at Mount Wuxian, it could no longer laugh.

"Tell me everything you know."

With a grim expression and cold light in his eyes, Crocodile Tong turned his gaze to the four demons beside him: a rat demon, a weasel demon, a hedgehog demon, and a fox demon, all of whom possessed Qi Refining cultivation.

Upon hearing this and sensing Crocodile Tong's ferocious aura, the four demons quickly revealed everything they knew.

As Crocodile Tong listened to the four demons' account, his expression grew increasingly grim, because according to them, the Taoist of Peace was indeed incredibly strong.

"How is this possible? Is it that the Taoist Master Taiping is truly powerful, or does Lady Qinghua really have other ideas and want to use the Taoist Master Taiping as a cover to extricate herself?"

One thought after another arose, and Crocodile Tong was in a state of utter confusion.

Looking at the crocodile, the four demons each had their own thoughts, and their faces showed helplessness and fear.

The shadow cast by the Taoist priest had not yet dissipated when another malevolent star arrived. These days were truly agonizing.

In fact, if the Five Immortals Mountain hadn't been surrounded by Qingyuan County, they would have had nowhere to go and would have run away long ago.

At that moment, Crocodile Tong snapped out of his thoughts.

"I am Crocodile Tong of Blackwater Dock, a descendant of your lady. Now that the lady is in seclusion, I will temporarily take charge of Five Immortals Mountain. Do any of you have any objections?"

With eyes like knives, Crocodile Tong's gaze swept over the four demons one by one.

After careful consideration, it decided to stay in Wuxian Mountain for the time being. It had come on a mission to completely disrupt Qingyuan County, coordinate with Crocodile Abyss, and completely disrupt the rhythm of the Qingmu family. It could not return empty-handed.

Although it is of Crocodile Abyss bloodline, if it goes back like this, punishment is absolutely inevitable. Most importantly, compared to the Taoist of Peace who can cultivate Qi and fight against Dao Foundation, it is more willing to believe that the current situation is deliberately caused by Lady Qinghua.

As the son of Crocodile Abyss, it had personally witnessed the power of Foundation Establishment cultivators, which was absolutely unmatched by Qi Refining cultivators. However, these demons in front of it were rather shallow and most likely couldn't see the truth behind it.

Upon hearing this and sensing the violent aura emanating from Crocodile Tong, the four demons exchanged glances and readily agreed.

With Crocodile Tong's Qi Refining Perfection level, he is invincible in the Five Immortals Mountain now, not to mention that Crocodile Tong has Blackwater Dock behind him. They have no choice but to obey, and for them, this may not necessarily be a bad thing.

Seeing the four demons so obedient, Crocodile Tong finally nodded in satisfaction.

"My Blackwater Dock is a Dao Foundation power. As long as you serve me well, I will not treat you unfairly." "These few Demon Essence Pills are given to you. Now go and gather all the Qi Refining members in your clan. I have some instructions to give."

Crocodile Tong casually tossed down a few pills and gave the order.

The four demons were overjoyed to receive the Demon Essence Pill and readily agreed.

However, after leaving Crocodile Tong, the expressions of the four demons changed. Although Crocodile Tong did not say it explicitly, they all vaguely sensed that Crocodile Tong had left some tricks on them.

"Daoji, sigh."

With a sigh, the fox demon was the first to leave.

Seeing this, the other three demons also felt a pang of sympathy. They didn't mind joining Blackwater Dock, but the feeling of having their lives in the hands of others was really unpleasant.

"I just hope that this important figure in Blackwater Dock won't make us deal with the Taiping Sect again."

Thinking of how terrifying Jiang Chen was, the hedgehog demon couldn't help but shudder. Of course, it had personally witnessed its clan leader being killed by Jiang Chen with a single sword strike, without even the strength to fight back.

Upon hearing this, the rat demon and the weasel demon were reminded once again of how terrifying Jiang Chen was.

"Let's look ahead. Blackwater Dock is a Dao Foundation power, so they should be able to deal with the Taiping Daoists. As long as we do our job well, they shouldn't deliberately make things difficult for us. They might even bring us some benefits, such as the Demon Essence Pill."

Turning his gaze to the other two demons, the weasel demon shared his thoughts.

Upon hearing this, both the hedgehog demon and the rat demon nodded and said nothing more.

After the three demons separated, the rat demon returned to his cave and looked at the demon essence pill in his hand. He was now the nominal new clan leader of the rat demon clan, Rat Two.

"Since Her Majesty has bestowed this title upon herself, the Five Immortals Mountain was already completely scattered. Unexpectedly, another Crocodile Tong has emerged. Blackwater Dock is a well-established Dao Foundation power, and it is truly not easy to offend them, but..."

Thinking of the cooperation he had previously reached with the Taiping Sect, a hint of struggle flashed across Rat Two's face.

It originally thought that the fate of Wuxian Mountain was over, but unexpectedly, a Blackwater Dock has appeared. Truly, the world is unpredictable.

"Well, now that I've made my choice, I shouldn't hesitate. Blackwater Dock is indeed not easy to mess with, but it's blocked by the Aoki family. Besides, I'm just a little demon, not worthy of the attention of a great demon."

"Compared to Blackwater Dock, the Taoist of Peace is more terrifying. Besides, if I want to improve, I still need to rely on the new clan leader. He is the hope of my rat demon clan. The previous clan leader was really stupid."

Holding the Demon Essence Pill tightly in his hand, Rat Two made a decision.

Previously, the Rat Demon Clan Chief died on the front lines. Jiang Chen subdued the demons with a single sword strike. However, the Rat Demon Clan made contact with Rat Prodigy through the rat horde, intending to further strengthen their sect's power and monitor Five Immortal Mountain. Rat Prodigy then intended to recruit the Rat Demon Clan within Five Immortal Mountain.

After realizing that Rat Tianjiao possessed the bloodline of the Gold-Gnawing Rat, Rat Er saw this opportunity and immediately pledged his loyalty, becoming an inside agent for the Taiping Sect in the Five Immortals Mountain. It was with Rat Tianjiao's help that it quickly became the new patriarch of the Rat Demon Clan.

A moment later, through a secret channel, Rat Two had his trusted confidant deliver a message.
