Bitter Realm: Otherworldly Gods and Demons

Chapter 157 How can you let go?

Shun shrugged. "Then let's hope that the Demon Lord will spare us some leftovers—or, Gouhuang, you take the lead, and we'll take down that War General, then wipe out the Demon Realm, and then plot against the Immortal City."

The Palace of Eternal Life is fighting the Demon Realm? Are you referring to the Demon Realm, which was already powerful with many experts, and now, having joined forces with the Fault Line, its strength is even more unfathomable?

Also, do you want me to deal with that War General who defeated so many top experts and recently single-handedly dragged the Blood Moon Phenomenon into the Demon Realm?

Yi Cantian seemed to really want to send Shun an emoji, but resolutely refused, saying, "The primary goal for everyone is the Fountain of Immortality, followed by the City of Immortality. As for the Demon Realm, Ancestral Priest, go to Xiao Penglai and tell them that I want to meet with his War Commander. Also, quickly invite Gai Lu Kuang Xi and Wu Seng Chi Mi."

Previously, Gai Lu Kuang Xi took advantage of Yi Bu Lian Hua blocking Lei Yang and escaped from Wan Sheng Yan again.

Then he went to find Wu Seng, who had already said goodbye to the past and was definitely no longer willing to associate with the ruthless and tyrannical.

But then he saw people from the Hall of Longevity coming to find Pan Lu Kuangxi. Wu Seng wanted to help Yi Ye Shu investigate the Hall of Longevity and wanted to find an opportunity to persuade Pan Lu Kuangxi to repent and do good, so he followed Pan Lu Kuangxi again.

Then the two encountered Zi Gong Taiyi, who had slipped away from the aristocratic family. Although Zi Gong Yuan had returned safely, Zi Gong Tonglin, upon hearing of such a big matter, did not consult her and directly sentenced the father and son to confinement. Taiyi could not bear it and secretly ran away again.

Then Taiyi saw Panlu Kuangxi holding a child and constantly stimulating the child with lightning—not to torture, but because the child was Chouluo Anchen's son, who unexpectedly also had the talent to bear lightning.

Taiyi tried to deal with Panlu Kuangxi. Later, he heard that the three meridian nails were inserted into him by Tanbei Maizui Ren, Hao Kunlun, and Qianzhou Budong Sang Daoliang. So he offered to remove one of the meridian nails in exchange for him handing over the child.

Gai Lu Kuang Xi originally felt that he had a connection with this little boy and wanted to train him as a disciple, but raising a child was too troublesome. He wanted to force Tai Yi, who was quite powerful. Wu Seng advised him to prioritize restoring his strength, so he agreed.

So, Gai Lu Kuang Xi was only missing the last piercing nail, so he went to find Sang Dao Liang again.

Taiyi then sent the child back to the Zigong family for their care. He also went to see Sang Daoliang, worried that Gailu Kuangxi would cause trouble for Sang Daoliang. Moreover, he had heard Hao Kunlun say that Sang Daoliang was a junior whom Hao Kunlun valued highly.

In short, it will still take some time before Gailu Kuangxi and Wuseng can join the Hall of Longevity.

On the other side...

night.

Under the bright moon and starry sky, in the garden, Teng Xie, Shi Linglong, Dianyu Fenglian, and Jiuzhang Fuzang were enjoying the moon and drinking wine together.

Yes, when the moon is admired and the sun sets, the Tearful Sun also disappears—this is the power of Cang. The Tearful Sun Formation he designed can not only control the energy of the Tearful Sun, but also transform its energy.

The formation converts more than half of the light and heat energy of the Tearful Sun into its own energy. The formation not only provides powerful protection for the Immortal City, but also blocks out the Tearful Sun, allowing the Immortal City to still have normal nights.

It can also make the Tearful Sun appear at any time, making the night in the Immortal City as bright as day, and leaving the invading enemy nowhere to hide.

"What a wonderful formation! It's truly a wonderful formation!" Teng Xie exclaimed repeatedly as he sensed the formation's operation. Seeing the design drawings was one thing, but truly experiencing how the formation harnessed the power of heaven and earth was another kind of awe-inspiring experience.

Nine Chapters of Hidden Treasures also praised, "The String Master has truly made a great gesture. It's just a pity that something came up and I missed such a grand occasion."

""

Teng Xie thought to himself, "You're probably cursing under your breath. The difficulty of invading the Immortal City has suddenly increased, and this guy must be getting anxious and frustrated."

Feng Lian also said, "Now, while everyone can rest easy, it will also be very difficult for the Hall of Longevity to invade."

The Nine Chapters contain hidden passages; he must find clues to the formation as soon as possible—it seems he must take a hard test to determine the formation's power. He can then observe the formation from within to perhaps find its weaknesses.

However, there is still something to worry about: what exactly is this Demon Realm War Master thinking? If he is determined to support the Immortal City, it will be a more troublesome problem than the formation itself.

Drinking alone is a bit bland. Let's play cards, Brother Jiuzhang. Have you ever played "100 Points"? It's a lot of fun!

As Teng Xie spoke, he took out two decks of cards, but suddenly paused.

Brother Fenglian, Linglong, you two teach Brother Jiuzhang first. I have some things to take care of, I'll be back in a bit.

Shi Linglong then said, "Then come back quickly."

Upon seeing this, Jiuzhang Fuzang felt a slight stirring in his heart. It seemed that Teng Xie and Shi Linglong had an unusual relationship. Could they perhaps start from this angle?

Teng Xie got up and left, teleporting to Xiao Penglai with a "return to city" command.

Then, in the VIP room, I met the ancestral priest who had changed out of his disguise.

It turns out that the ancestral priest has graced us with his presence. Five-colored beauties, please serve fine wine, and summon the pipa and drum players. The three of you will personally play music to entertain him.

"Your subordinate obeys."

The Five-Colored Enchantress quickly departed with small, quick steps, and the Ancestral Priest immediately said, "General, you're too kind."

Teng Xie smiled slightly and said, "Not at all. Let's not talk about positions. You are a guest from afar, and Xiao Penglai will certainly treat you well."

Teng Xie's refusal to discuss his stance set the tone for the conversation, and the Ancestral Priestess knew that she might have difficulty achieving her goal this time, but she had no choice but to do her best.

"I am deeply honored by your kindness, General. The Hall of Longevity also hopes to establish a good relationship, or even a cooperative relationship, with the Demon Realm. The City of Immortality has the Fountain of Immortality, and the Hall of Longevity also has the secret of immortality."

Ah, of course the Demon Realm wants to maintain good relations with all parties, and who wouldn't want the secret of immortality? Don't laugh at me, but I'm no exception.

Upon hearing this, the ancestral priest's heart stirred, and he thought to himself, "Could there be a way?"

She quickly said, "So, if it's Commander Zhan—"

"Hey, no rush."

But then Teng Xie waved his hand, and the door was pushed open. The Five-Colored Enchantress carried a tray, offering fine wine. She then retreated behind the screen with Wen Pipa and the Drummer, and melodious music began to play.

"Please drink from this cup, ancestral priest."

Tengxie poured a cup of wine for the ancestral priest before speaking again: "Although I really want the secret of immortality, I am already friends with the Lord of the City of Knowledgeable Dragon. I have always valued friendship. How can I betray my friend because of a little greed?"

"If the Hall of Longevity intends to cooperate with the Demon Realm to attack the City of Immortality, or to have me sabotage it from within, then I will pretend you were never here, and the Demon Realm and the Hall of Longevity will remain at peace."

With that, Teng Xie poured himself a drink, indicating that he would no longer entertain the other party.

"this----"

The ancestral priest pondered for a moment before speaking again, "What if we simply want the war commander to stand idly by and remain uninvolved?"

Well—
