Bitter Realm: Otherworldly Gods and Demons

Chapter 135 Make a Deal with Me, I Have Class

Seeing that Nenglong shook his head, he said, "This poison is very strange. Rapid aging is just the surface, and the Divine Spring has no antidote. Back then, many people in the Immortal City were also harmed by this poison."

So the only solution is to treat the symptoms and seek the antidote from the Hall of Longevity? But the Hall of Longevity hasn't appeared yet.

After Teng Xie moved the Blood Moon Phenomenon away, a huge pit was left behind. At the very center of the pit, the rectangular steel pillar was revealed, which was the Heavenly Bone Steel that sealed the entrance to the Hall of Longevity.

Shi Nenglong nodded and said, "Xian Shou may be able to find someone from the Hall of Longevity who travels the martial world, or find a way to unseal the Hall of Longevity. However, the people of the Hall of Longevity are secretive, so please be careful, Xian Shou."

Cang Ning nodded solemnly. "I understand. Thank you for informing me, City Lord. I will take my leave now. — I apologize to the City Lord for having to postpone what you wish to tell me."

Shi Nenglong waved his hand and said, "Human life is at stake. I hope that the String Master can find a solution smoothly."

Cang left in a hurry, and Feng Lian sighed softly, "In this way, things will be delayed again."

"Brother Fenglian, a major incident concerning the Hall of Longevity has suddenly occurred, and the City of Immortality must also treat it with utmost care. However, the Tearful Sun phenomenon must also be resolved as soon as possible. I will immediately dispatch more manpower to investigate the Hall of Longevity, which may help the Chief Stringman expedite his actions."

Cang didn't actually need anyone to help him gather information. The people who plotted against him had other purposes besides wanting to kill him, so they would naturally contact him again.

Sure enough, as soon as Cang Gang left the Immortal City, Yin Qiujun came looking for him. Upon hearing that Chi Yunran was in trouble, she immediately said that the astrologer Saloman might have a way to cure Chi Yunran.

Cang's heart skipped a beat. He had already guessed that the one who plotted against him was either Zhao Muzun or Yin Qiujun, and sure enough, the other party had come looking for him.

Cang followed Yin Qiujun to Saloman's place and discovered that Saloman indeed had close ties with the Hall of Longevity. The other party led him to a secret room where someone said that it could cure the Red Poison, but Cang needed to exchange it for the Spring of Immortality.

Cang immediately became suspicious, but saving Chi Yunran was the top priority. He said that the Spring of Immortality was very difficult to obtain, and it could not be taken out of the City of Immortality.

The other party said that he had a kind of medicine that could make people's faces age rapidly, simulating the secret incantation of the Longevity Palace, the withering and aging technique. This incantation could be dispelled by the divine spring, and Cang could use it to obtain the divine spring of immortality.

As for how Cang will bring him out, I believe that won't be too difficult for the leader of the Six Strings.

Cang had no choice but to agree, take the medicine, and leave with an aged appearance.

But not long after he left, just as he was about to head to the City of Immortality...

He suddenly felt a spatial fluctuation, and then the surrounding environment changed, and he found himself in a dark space.

Seeing the oppressive atmosphere around him, and his Taoist cultivation being subtly restricted, and seeing the occasional silent appearance of scarlet lightning in the dark sky in the distance, Cang was immediately shocked. This was the Demon Realm's Guardian Path, the Path of Forgiveness!

There's no need for you to be suspicious, I just don't want anyone with ulterior motives to see me talking to you alone.

Cang Zheng frowned slightly, and then saw a ripple in space in front of him, and Teng Xie's figure suddenly appeared—and the other party was holding a leather necklace with a crystal pendant in his hand, which he kept swinging around.

Cang's heart stirred; the Key of Creation was indeed still there, and the other party had indeed been cooperating with them before.

So what exactly are their demands?

Cang asked calmly, "What would you like to discuss with me?"

"Please sit down, Master of the Strings."

Tengxie conjured a stone table and two stone stools, sat down, and gestured for them to sit.

Cang had no choice but to go over and sit down. Then the other party said, "Xian Shou, how about I come to save Daoist Chi Yunran?"

Cang: What are you after? Even if you do this, Xuanzong will never forgive the Demon Realm.

Teng Xie: Don't be so sure of yourself. As the saying goes, life is like a game of chess, unpredictable and ever-changing. Who knows, one day you might become sworn brothers with the leader of the Demon Realm?

"Your actions are perplexing to me. What exactly are your demands?"

Actually, I have a lot of feelings for Daoist Chiyunran—

Teng Xie's expression suddenly became ambiguous. Cang was taken aback for a moment, then was speechless. What are you trying to say?

Don't say anything that's absolutely outrageous!

But Teng Xie's expression changed instantly. He didn't seem to feel anything. "I just wanted to persuade the String Master to do something, and I know that given Xuanzong's prejudice against the Demon Realm, the String Master will most likely misunderstand, so I'm giving him a heads-up beforehand."

So you have another purpose after all? — "What do you want me to do?"

The city lord's invitation to the stringed bow was my suggestion; I had proposed an idea—

Teng Xie explained his idea of ​​using an array to control the Tearful Sun weather, prevent it from harming the people, and even make it a protective array for the Immortal City.

Upon hearing this, Cang's mind raced. He realized that this was the other party's true purpose: to control the Tearful Sun and Blood Moon phenomena.

Seeing that Cang remained silent and his own light flashed, Teng Xie spoke again, "Is the String Master worried that I want to control the Tearful Sun Phenomenon and make it detrimental to the Bitter Realm?"

The head of the stringed instrument has misunderstood. I am a person with a strong sense of contract, and I will always abide by the contracts I sign. But I am afraid that others will not abide by them. I am just afraid that someone will come to my doorstep again, so I am just adding an extra layer of protection to my house.

Cang: You can directly click on my name and the name of the Holy Venerable.

Teng Xie: That's so lacking in emotional intelligence.

"I already have a way to cure the Crimson Cloud Dye, so you don't need to worry about it too much."

Oh dear, is the method of the String Master a scheme to secretly trick the City Lord and then not tell him? If the City Lord finds out, will he still be willing to lift the Tearful Sun Phenomenon? And what kind of harm to the martial world and innocent people will the person who achieved his goal through the String Master do?

But I am different. No matter what I do, it is not based on invading the Bitter Realm. String Head, ask yourself, if I had the intention to invade the Bitter Realm, now that Yibu Lianhua and Yiye Shu are trapped in the Fengshui Forbidden Zone, you have a traitor to worry about, oh, and Yibu Lianhua also has to worry about Xi Mie Tianlai.

"Tell me, if I want to be a qualified leader of the demon realm, what should I do now?"

Upon hearing this, Cang fell silent again. He knew that what the other party said was true. If the other party really intended to invade the Bitter Realm, the other party would now send his powerful subordinates to block the Feng Shui Forbidden Land, preparing to catch the oriole in the back. The other party would also take this opportunity to join forces with Xi Mie Tian Lai to surround and trap him.

However, the reality is that the other party is not doing anything productive at all. Instead of doing those things, they come to help him and negotiate with him.

Is the other party really different from what he thought, and truly without any ambition?

String Master, I know that prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain, but even if you don't believe in my character, you should at least believe in my integrity, right? How about I make another deal with you? If you make a deal with me, I guarantee that in dealing with the strange phenomena, I will not have any intention of invading the Bitter Realm or harming the righteous path.

"this·""

Upon hearing this, Cang was torn between his conscience and his inner voice. A voice in his heart told him that he must not trust the Demon Realm.

But another voice told him that in the current situation, he had to weigh the pros and cons. He could distrust the Demon Realm and doubt Teng Xie's deepest intentions, but he could not deny that agreeing to Teng Xie's request was the right choice.
