Bitter Realm: Otherworldly Gods and Demons

Chapter 160 How Bored Are You?

Afterwards, the Immortal City.

"Godfather, Tengxie left just like that, it's so unfair."

Shi Linglong pouted, holding the letter left by Teng Xie in her hand, her mood was very unpleasant.

Shi Nenglong comforted her, "Linglong, he is, after all, a demon realm warrior. He can't stay in the Immortal City forever. In a few days, your godfather will invite him over for a chat."

"Alright then—whatever the date, it's fine."

"A few days, then a few days."

At least Shi Nenglong was dealt with by his daughter. Teng Xie himself was fine, but the Demon Realm still gave him some doubts. He should let time prove it.

No sooner had Shi Linglong left than Dao Ying arrived without a trace. "Lord City, there is a Daoist named Chi Yunran outside the city who says he wants to see the String Master."

Not long after, Cang, who remained in the Immortal City, met Chi Yunran, who had come to visit. He couldn't help but feel strange. He had been reminded by Teng Xie to have Chi Yunran and the other two go into seclusion elsewhere. Sure enough, someone had triggered the warning array of the Vast Sky Waves again, which gave Cang a cold sweat. If it weren't for Teng Xie's reminder, he would probably have regretted it.

After Chi Yunran recovered, he, Bai Xuepiao, and Cui Shanxing went their separate ways to find the Taoist branches that Xuanzong had established in the Bitter Realm, hoping to restore Xuanzong's power.

At this moment, Cang asked, "My friend, you came to see me because there's a problem with one of the branches?"

How would I know? It turns out that Daoist Chiyunran went to search for a branch of the Xuanzong sect.

The secret telepathic message from Teng Xie rang out beside Cang Er, leaving him speechless and his eyes twitching—he thought to himself that he had never seen such an extremely boring and utterly dull demon general.

Tengxie: Hey, you've finally met me today.

"No, I just wanted to check on the condition of the string master, that's why I came."

Teng Xie followed Cang's words and heard Cang's secret telepathic transmission. What kind of mystery is the War Commander up to now?

"Okay, let's talk slowly then."

Cang led Tengxie to the quiet room, where Tengxie transmitted his voice, saying, "The Hall of Longevity has found me, hoping I will withdraw. I thought, if I don't agree, the Hall of Longevity will feel too much of a threat and will definitely have to find other experts to help. If this gets in the way of some evil sect that originally intended to keep a low profile, wouldn't that escalate the situation?"

Cang nodded. Now, the Immortal City has the Indigo Feather Wind Lotus, the Nine Chapters Hidden Treasure, himself, and the Tearful Sun Array for protection. If Teng Xie is added to the mix, even if the other side has experts like Wen Tian Di, there will still be a significant difference in strength. The Longevity Palace will certainly not sit idly by and wait for death, which will indeed further escalate the situation, not only harming the Immortal City but also causing more casualties.

only.

The War General's thoughts are indeed reasonable, but—does the War General really have to come back in this form?

This is the least likely to arouse suspicion. If I were to casually adopt a new identity and become incredibly powerful, wouldn't that easily arouse suspicion? I'll just use the identity of a Taoist priest, casually observing and watching the show. I genuinely didn't intend to get involved in the war; it's just that I've made acquaintance with the city lord, and if anything changes, I should at least lend a hand.

Cang really wanted to complain, thinking to himself, "You don't want to get involved in the war? Then what's with that Shun that everyone hates?"

Well, it's understandable that the War General wanted to investigate the Hall of Longevity, and that Shun had been secretly cooperating with Wentiandi all along.

—Can't we replace "War General" with "Emerald Mountain Journey" or "White Snowflakes"?

I'm not familiar with them, but I have a very good relationship with the Taoist priest, so she shouldn't mind. Oh, and Master Xian, don't forget to inform the chief priest to let her retire for a few days."

Cang couldn't help but twitch his eye, thinking to himself, "Where does this confidence come from? No, you're just trying to provoke Chi Yunran again, aren't you?"

I have truly never seen such an extremely bored and absurd person.

In short, Daoist Chiyunran, who had a very good relationship with Zhan Shuai, stayed on.

Cang then took Chi Yunran to meet Nenglong and explained the situation.

Shi Nenglong certainly welcomes more like-minded people to join, and since "Chi Yunran" is a woman, Shi Nenglong would like to ask Chi Yunran to take good care of Shi Linglong.

As everyone was talking, Indigo Feather Wind Lotus suddenly brought someone over. This person was neither from the City of Immortality nor a new face in the martial arts world.

It was astrologer Saloman.

The forbidden feng shui area was broken, but the Tears of Sunlight were not eliminated. Naturally, Cang and Fenglian, who had calculated the forbidden feng shui area, became suspects.

After the Tearful Sun Formation was completed, Cang went to find Xue Duanji. Xue Duanji said that his calculations should be correct—unless Saloman misled him and made him also arrive at the result of the Feng Shui Forbidden Land.

To prove he was alright, he told Cang that he was also one of the medicine people who escaped from the Hall of Longevity, and that he knew Bei Jiuming and the two could verify each other's relationship.

He was willing to do the calculation again—but halfway through, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and he became very secretive, refusing to say anything.

Cang had no choice but to invite him to the Immortal City first, and then conduct the investigation.

Fenglian, on the other hand, brought Saloman back.

Instead of being asked to return, Saloman refused Fenglian's request, and then Fenglian sealed her power and brought her back.

When Saloman arrived in the Immortal City, it immediately proved that the problem lay with her. She was exposed by the Immortal City's "Demon-Revealing Mirror," a magic that detects illusions, which broke the illusion of her face, revealing her aged appearance.

Saloman exposed the identity of the Hall of Longevity and was immediately placed under house arrest.

Then Shi Nenglong, Fenglian, Cang, Grand Tutor and Grand Assistant took turns persuading her, but Saloman naturally pretended not to hear them.

Just when everyone was at a loss, a problem arose.

late at night.

"what!"

Suddenly, a shrill scream came from Dao Ying Bu Liu Zong's bedroom. Moments later, everyone came to investigate and saw Dao Ying Bu Liu Zong's body twisted and bleeding from his seven orifices, his death extremely gruesome!

"This is bad!"

Shi Nenglong, the Grand Tutor, and the Grand Assistant all exclaimed in surprise and rushed to Saloman's bedroom, only to find that Saloman was indeed lifeless!

Just as Shi Nenglong sighed and ordered that Dao Ying be properly buried without leaving a trace, Feng Lian frowned and asked, "City Lord, what exactly is going on?"

Shi Nenglong sighed again and said, "This is the most bizarre curse technique of the Longevity Palace, the Fate-Sharing Technique. Back then, my Grand Chancellor was the most valiant and skilled in battle, but after severely injuring the Winter Palace of the Longevity Palace, he died mysteriously. This is how the Longevity Palace used the Fate-Sharing Technique to exchange the Winter Palace's life for the Grand Chancellor's life."

"this----"

Everyone was greatly surprised. Feng Lian pondered for a moment and then said, "This Fate-Connecting Technique is so terrifying, but the Longevity Palace did not use it easily. It seems that people who are connected by fate must meet certain conditions, such as having similar foundations. This explains why Saloman chose the Blade Shadow Without Leaving a Trace."

But did she target Dao Ying without leaving a trace, or did she simply choose someone whose strength, fate, or destiny was similar to hers?

Shi Nenglong shook his head. "This technique is extremely mysterious. The Immortal City knows very little about it, but Feng Lian, your analysis makes a lot of sense."

"Feng Lian, Xian Shou, I would like to ask you two to investigate this matter and find a solution."
