Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 475 Intrigue and Schemes (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Okay! We promise you!"

The Yin Sha Old Demon gritted his teeth, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes, but ultimately lowered his head.

The situation was beyond their control; the three of them were no match for Li Yunjing and Ying Qianqian. If they didn't agree, they would probably perish here today.

If they agree, there is still a glimmer of hope!
The choice is crystal clear.

Being threatened like this is a terrible feeling!
This infuriated the three old devils!
Unfortunately, he couldn't beat Li Yunjing, and could only turn red in the face and gasp for breath helplessly.

"He who knows the current affairs is a hero."

Li Yunjing nodded in satisfaction, a cold smile playing on his lips. "Everyone, please!"

Seeing that Li Yunjing had released his "Azure Cloud Boat," he made a gesture inviting the three of them to board.

This is the "Azure Cloud Boat"!
The warships of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!

Normally, when would three demons have the chance to ride on such a treasure ship?

I would be very happy to see it up close.

However, being at the mercy of others and boarding the "Azure Cloud Boat" under such circumstances filled the three of them with humiliation, as if they were prisoners of war being detained.

"Humph!"

Wang Qian snorted coldly, his eyes burning with anger, but he dared not retaliate.

"Let's go."

Ying Qianqian spoke calmly, her gaze sweeping over the three of them with a hint of warning.

Li Yunjing and Ying Qianqian turned and left, boarding the "Azure Cloud Boat" directly, leaving only the three Yin Sha Old Demons standing there with extremely gloomy faces.

Clearly, in Li Yunjing and Ying Qianqian's eyes, the three Yin Sha Old Demons were like meat on a chopping board, to be cut however they wanted, and they weren't afraid of them escaping at all.

Now, we need to give the three of them enough time to discuss a solution!

"Senior, are we really going to risk our lives for them?"

Wang Kun asked unwillingly.

"Yes! They want us to be cannon fodder! These so-called righteous people are so evil! They're even more hateful than the demons of the Netherworld!"

Wang Qian also cursed.

"if not?"

The Yin Sha Old Demon smiled sinisterly, "But they think they've got us cornered? Heh heh, we'll see who ends up outsmarting whom!"

"Senior means..."

A glint of light flashed in Wang Qian's eyes.

“That ‘Crimson Flame Scorpion’ is extremely powerful. Even if the team is led by someone from the ‘Divine Firmament Dao Sect’, they may not be able to escape unscathed.”

The Yin Sha Old Demon lowered his voice, "We might as well secretly contact other rogue cultivators and act according to the circumstances. We might even be able to gain some benefits!"

"Great idea!"

Wang Kun chuckled sinisterly.

On the other side, Li Yunjing and Ying Qianqian had already climbed onto the deck and were looking down.

"Junior Brother Li, do you think they'll obediently listen to you?"

Ying Qianqian suddenly spoke, her tone tinged with amusement.

"Don't worry, senior sister, they won't dare to try anything funny."

Li Yunjing was full of confidence: "Even if they have some ulterior motives, they are nothing but clowns in the face of absolute strength."

"I hope so."

Ying Qianqian smiled gently, a deep light flashing in her eyes.

Before long, Yin Sha Old Demon, Wang Qian, and Wang Kun also flew into the "Azure Cloud Boat." Under Li Yunjing's arrangement, the three of them went into a room to rest and recuperate.

At this moment, the three villains acted more obediently than anyone else, seemingly trying to lull Li Yunjing and Ying Qianqian into a false sense of security so that they would turn against them and retaliate.

"Let's go! Let's find those rogue cultivators. Those cunning old foxes are probably still alive and well!"

On the deck, Li Yunjing looked at the scenery and said with a smile.

"Okay! I'll search for their location!"

Ying Qianqian nodded, closed her eyes, and immediately used the "Heavenly Secrets Technique" to deduce the secrets of heaven and find the location of the rogue cultivator.

A moment later, she slowly opened her eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Found them. In the Black Wind Valley, northwest of the 'Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals,' there are two Golden Core auras. They should be the 'Mysterious Yin Hermit' and the 'Red-Eyebrowed Old Monster.'"

Clearly, Ying Qianqian has a wide range of knowledge and can talk about some of the famous experts in the cultivation world.

"Those two old geezers know how to hide!"

Li Yunjing sneered: "I heard from the Long-Armed Ape that the 'Black Wind Valley' is filled with bone-chilling winds all year round, and ordinary creatures that enter will have their flesh scraped off."

“Since they dare to hide there, they must have something to rely on. We must be careful.”

Ying Qianqian's eyes flickered slightly, and she said softly.

Xuan Yin Sanren is alright; he's a normal Golden Core cultivator, with a cultivation level similar to Wang Kun and Wang Qian.

But that Crimson-Eyebrowed Old Monster is formidable!
His cultivation level was not much different from that of the Yin Sha Old Demon, and he possessed extremely powerful magic weapons.

Therefore, Ying Qianqian reminded Li Yunjing not to be careless.

"It doesn't matter!"

Li Yunjing stood with his hands behind his back, a cold glint in his eyes. "In the face of absolute strength, any means are futile. Ever since I broke through to the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, I have no fear of anyone except those cultivators at the peak of the Golden Core Realm."

"Is this person really that powerful?"

Looking at the confident Li Yunjing, Ying Qianqian's eyes sparkled with thoughtfulness.

She was a person of great background. Even Fu Chao had to be obedient in front of Ying Qianqian and didn't dare to utter a word. Ying Qianqian was naturally well aware of what Li Yunjing's strength meant.

Perhaps, under Li Yunjing's leadership, the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" will truly enter a new and glorious era?
……

"Black Wind Valley" is a place where the wind howls and black mist permeates the air.

Deep within the valley, in a dark stone cave, Xuan Yin Sanren and Chi Mei Laoguai sat cross-legged, their bodies enveloped in a faint black light, resisting the raging yin winds of the valley.

"Old Ghost Xuan Yin, it's not good for us to keep hiding here!"

"Red-browed Old Monster frowned."

"Sigh! What else can we do but take refuge here?"

Xuan Yin Sanren gave a bitter laugh and continued, "Damn it! We've lost big this time! We paid spirit stones and ended up being teleported to this dangerous world! We're being chased by monsters everywhere. I've really seen something new."

"Sigh! Who says otherwise!"

The Crimson-Eyebrowed Old Monster sighed, shook his head, and said, "We can't just keep hiding here, can we?"

In the past three months, these independent cultivators have also suffered greatly.

First, a group of people were slaughtered in the desert by the "Crimson Flame Scorpion". The survivors escaped and were hunted down wherever they went in this world.

There are too many monsters!
It's all the territory of monsters!
In the end, only these two remained from the entire group of independent cultivators.

They were recently being hunted by a demon clan and, with nowhere else to go, sought refuge in this desolate place.

The two were unaware of the situation outside and dared not go out, which led to the conversation described earlier.

"Let's hold on for three more days? After three days, we'll break out?"

Xuan Yin Sanren hesitated for a moment, but still said the same thing.

"Alright! But where can we go once we're out here?"

The Crimson-Eyebrowed Old Monster sighed again.

Three months is enough time for them to figure out some of the truths about this world.

Nine great demon kings, suppressing everything.

Fortunately, the nine demon kings belonged to nine different forces, and they were irreconcilable enemies.

Otherwise, where would we find a peaceful place?

The words of the Crimson-Eyebrowed Old Monster silenced the Mysterious Yin Hermit.

He didn't know where to go either!

Now, Xuan Yin Sanren has only one thought: to go home.

However, that teleportation array requires three thousand high-grade spirit stones to activate, and neither of them has that many high-grade spirit stones!

Another point is that the desert is the territory of the "Crimson Scorpion"!

The two, Crimson-Eyebrowed Old Monster and Profound Yin Hermit, had personally experienced just how powerful this demon king was.

With such terrifying strength, neither of them dared to go back!

But what can the two of them do if they don't leave through this teleportation array?
Death is only a matter of time!
Just as the two were caught in a dilemma, a clear voice came from outside the valley...

"Mysterious Yin Hermit and Crimson-Eyebrowed Old Monster, come out and greet us!"

The sound was like thunder, so loud that even the cold wind in the valley stopped in its tracks!
"Is he a cultivator?"

The old monster with red eyebrows suddenly changed his expression.

"They seem to be from the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'!"

A flash of surprise and anger crossed Xuan Yin Sanren's eyes, but he quickly calmed down. "Let's go, let's go out and meet them!"

The two exchanged a glance, and in a flash, they transformed into two streaks of black light and rushed out of the cave.

Outside the valley, Li Yunjing stood with his hands behind his back, while Ying Qianqian stood beside him, her expression indifferent.

Some distance behind the two were three demonic masters: Yin Sha Lao Mo, Wang Qian, and Wang Kun.

"Fellow Daoist Li, Fairy Ying, what brings you two here?"

Xuan Yin Sanren cupped his hands in a forced smile and said.

The Crimson-Eyebrowed Old Monster looked at the three demonic masters, Yin Sha Old Demon, Wang Qian, and Wang Kun, with a hint of surprise, and asked, "How did you three old demons end up with the people from the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'?" "Enough with the nonsense."

Li Yunjing was too lazy to play games with them and went straight to the point, "I want you to come back to the teleportation array with me as the vanguard."

"what?!"

The Crimson-Eyebrowed Old Monster laughed in fury, "Fellow Daoist Li, are you trying to use us as cannon fodder?"

"Is it too much?"

Xuan Yin Sanren also glared at Li Yunjing and Ying Qianqian with a sinister look.

"So what?"

Li Yunjing's gaze was icy. "If you refuse, then stay in this 'Black Wind Valley' today."

Li Yunjing has extensive experience in dealing with rogue cultivators and demonic cultivators!
These people are the type to learn from a beating but never learn from a mistake. Only by using force to thoroughly subdue them will they become obedient.

Now, Li Yunjing wants to put enough pressure on them to make them submit, at least to the point that they won't dare to oppose him on the surface!
When the time comes to use them, Li Yunjing will naturally have powerful means to control them and prevent rogue cultivators and demonic cultivators from turning against him!
"Fellow Daoist Li, why be so aggressive?"

A cold glint flashed in Xuan Yin Sanren's eyes, and the black energy in his sleeve surged even more violently, but his face remained calm: "Although we rogue cultivators have no sect to rely on, we are not fish to be slaughtered!"

"Exactly! This place is extremely dangerous! We are constantly under attack from the demon race. There's no need for us to kill each other, is there?"

The Crimson-Eyebrowed Old Monster also spoke viciously.

"Oh?"

Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow, a half-smile on his face, "Looks like you guys are disobedient!"

There is absolutely no need for appeasement!

Li Yunjing is ready to make his move!

Seeing Li Yunjing's aggressive demeanor, the atmosphere instantly became tense, with the two, a rogue cultivator and a member of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," on the verge of drawing their swords!
As for the three demons standing to the side, they silently took a few steps back.

The three exchanged thoughts rapidly, secretly plotting something.

Their true nature is far less honest than their outward appearance suggests.

"Why are you two fellow Daoists so angry?"

Ying Qianqian's eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly chuckled: "Although this trip is risky, if you can successfully return to the 'Crossing Mountains,' the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' will naturally not treat you unfairly."

Her words immediately eased the atmosphere and prevented a fight from breaking out.

"What do you mean by that, Fairy Ying?"

The Crimson-Eyebrowed Old Monster narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Teleportation fees are waived, and in addition..."

Ying Qianqian tapped her fingertip lightly, looked at the three people behind her, and smiled, "This time, it's not just the two of you leading the way, but also the help of three demonic masters: Yin Sha Old Demon, Wang Qian, and Wang Kun!"

Upon hearing this, the Crimson-Eyebrowed Old Monster and the Mysterious Yin Hermit exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing.

The two then looked at the three Yin Sha Old Demons, and the five of them quickly exchanged information...

Li Yunjing watched the scene unfold before him with a mocking smile. He neither stopped the demonic cultivators and rogue cultivators from exchanging words nor was he interested in finding out what they were saying!
The worst that could happen is that they cooperate with each other to deal with the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

What ideas could this rabble possibly come up with?
Li Yunjing didn't care at all what they were talking about!
They don't care whether they unite or not!

Two against five, the advantage is in my hands!

Li Yunjing was confident that if a fight really broke out, he and Ying Qianqian would have a huge chance of winning!
After a while, the five seemed to have finished their conversation.

"Is what Fairy Ying said true?"

Xuan Yin Sanren smiled sinisterly, "Teleportation fee waived, and these three 'fellow Daoists' will clear the way for you?"

As for the Crimson-Eyebrowed Old Monster, he glanced at the Yin Sha Old Demon again without leaving a trace. The conversation just now had an effect, and the two of them no longer had the will to fight Li Yunjing and Ying Qianqian.

Using the people of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" to return to the teleportation array, activate the array, and return to the "Hengyue Mountain Range" became the most important goal for the two.

As for the calculations in between?
Then we'll see who has the better skills!

"nature."

Ying Qianqian smiled and said, "As long as the two of you cooperate, we will both have a chance to go back."

"Alright! Since Fairy Ying has said so, we agree!"

Xuan Yin Sanren nodded in agreement.

The five masters—the rogue cultivators, the demonic cultivators, and the five great masters—have all been gathered.

Seven days later, the "Qingyun Boat" returned to the small island in the sea.

The group gathered together, practiced their drills, and then headed east along the same path that Ying Qianqian and the others had taken.

Along the way, when they encountered large demon forces, the army gave way; when they encountered smaller tribes, they immediately swept them away and plundered their resources.

Everyone knew this was the last chance.

After leaving the "Ancient Burial Realm of Immortals", there will be nothing left to loot.

Therefore, the cultivator army went all out and swept away the demonic beasts along the way as quickly as possible, heading towards the land.

Two weeks later, we arrived at the familiar desert.

On the edge, the "Azure Cloud Boat" released everyone, and everyone lowered their aura to the minimum.

All the Golden Core cultivators gathered together.

The vanguard officers for this mission have been selected: Xuan Yin Sanren, Chi Mei Laoguai, Yin Sha Laomo, Wang Qian, and Wang Kun.

The other Golden Core cultivators, including Zhu Yangzi, were responsible for assisting the Xuanwu Army in retreating into the teleportation array!

Once they enter the teleportation array, the attacks of the "Crimson Flame Scorpions" will be unable to harm them.

The teleportation array's defensive and counter-attack capabilities are so strong that even a fourth-tier demon king would have a hard time dealing with it!
"Alright! Now that everyone's here, let's proceed with the plan and get ready to move out."

After some discussion, Li Yunjing said with a smile.

The people from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and "Yuanyang Dao Sect" naturally agreed without saying a word, while the five people, Xuan Yin Sanren, Chi Mei Laoguai, Yin Sha Laomo, Wang Qian, and Wang Kun, had ugly expressions.

Although they knew they were going to be cannon fodder, the five of them still felt extremely sad when the moment actually came!

You know, this is no joke!

They've been hit by the "Crimson Flame Scorpion," they're really going to die!

"And me?"

At this moment, the gibbon interrupted and asked.

"you?"

Li Yunjing glanced at the other person and said directly, "You'll be free when we take action!"

"Ok?"

The gibbon was taken aback. "Is Li Yunjing serious?"

Are they really that easy to talk to?

The gibbon narrowed its scarlet eyes, stared at Li Yunjing for a long time, and then suddenly grinned: "Human, you're quite straightforward."

"Our relationship was a transaction to begin with, and now we're even."

Li Yunjing said calmly.

Li Yunjing never breaks his promises!

Since Li Yunjing said that if the gibbon was obedient, it should be released, then it should be done!

Moreover, this gibbon performed quite well!

At least during this period, it was of great help to Li Yunjing.

This pleased Li Yunjing greatly, and naturally he was even less likely to create obstacles.

"Alright! Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

The gibbon scratched its head and chuckled.

Having said that, it flashed and transformed into a golden light, disappearing into the depths of the desert.

"This guy... he's fast."

Ying Qianqian gazed in the direction it had gone and said softly.

"Gentlemen, it's time to set off."

Li Yunjing withdrew his gaze, looked at Xuan Yin Sanren and the others, and said in a cold voice.

The five men looked grim, but now there was no turning back.

"go!"

The Yin Sha Old Demon gritted his teeth and summoned a black banner, causing a howling wind to blow.

Five figures transformed into streaks of light and sped off into the depths of the desert.

But then, something unexpected happened.

The gibbon with long arms actually returned!
"Huh? What are you doing back here?"

Li Yunjing raised his eyebrows and looked at the demon monkey with surprise.

"Hehe! I've been thinking about it, and I'd also like to go with you guys to see another world!"

The gibbon said something that greatly surprised Li Yunjing and Ying Qianqian.

"Hey! Have you thought this through? The other side of the teleportation array is our human race's territory!"

Li Yunjing warned, "Your demon race is not weak, but you have always been suppressed by my human race! If you go there and die, don't blame me for not warning you!"

Li Yunjing's words were extremely impolite!

However, these are all the truths, and this is the last bit of help I can offer since we've gotten to know each other!

"Fellow Daoist Li, your 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' seems quite powerful! You must be very strong in any region."

The gibbon was not frightened; instead, it continued to ask questions.
