Chapter 127 Nangong Wan's Method of Repayment: Come In
"I obtained this Blood Demon Sword by chance. I originally wanted to leave it to Wan'er, but she has not yet formed her Nascent Soul and is unable to control the Blood Demon Sword. Instead, she will suffer from the backlash of the demonic energy within it and eventually become a demon that is neither human nor demon."
"The Longevity Netherworld Fruit is far too precious. Apart from the Blood Demon Sword, I have no other treasures that can compare to it. Therefore, I chose the Blood Demon Sword. Please do not despise it, fellow Daoist. In the future, please do not hesitate to ask for my orders, and I will never refuse."
The Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect explained with a rather solemn expression.
In the world of cultivation, to use a demonic weapon like the Blood Demon Sword, one not only needs to use a large amount of essence and vital energy, but also needs to constantly guard against the backlash from the demonic energy contained within it.
Once this sword is used, the longer it is used, the more or less the true essence in one's body will be tainted with demonic nature. The longer it is used, the more demonic nature accumulates, leading to a backlash of demonic energy, resulting in a great loss of reason, and ultimately death by demonic rampage.
There are several other items in Tiannan, so the cultivators of Tiannan simply call them "demon artifacts," and they both love and hate them!
To wield such a demonic artifact, one needs at least the cultivation level of the early Nascent Soul stage.
Therefore, the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect also wanted to take this opportunity to test Lin Yue's true cultivation level.
Although Lin Yue obtained the Longevity Netherworld Sun Fruit, a rare and precious herb from the wilderness, which was enough to prove that his strength surpassed hers, she still felt that Lin Yue did not seem to be a Nascent Soul cultivator.
She did not sense the unseen connection between Nascent Soul cultivators in Lin Yue's body.
It's not that it's impossible to isolate this kind of sensation, but it requires paying a certain price, and few Nascent Soul cultivators are willing to do so.
"
In addition, the other party may be a Nascent Soul cultivator who is actually a Deity Transformation cultivator, or they may not have condensed a Nascent Soul and are not at the Nascent Soul stage at all.
Another consequence is severe damage to one's vital energy, a drop in cultivation level, and the dissipation of one's nascent soul.
However, in the entire Tiannan cultivation world, no one at the Nascent Soul stage has appeared for tens of thousands of years, so this is naturally even more impossible.
Therefore, the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect seriously doubted Lin Yue's cultivation level.
But when Lin Yue took the Blood Demon Sword in his hand with great interest and played with it without being affected by the demonic energy, the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect narrowed his bright eyes and showed a look of shock and fear. His worries and doubts completely disappeared.
To wield the Blood Demon Sword so easily and without being tainted by demonic energy is something that even a Core Formation stage cultivator cannot do; even she herself found it extremely difficult.
It was precisely because of the Blood Demon Sword that she was able to escape unscathed from the encirclement and attack of multiple Nascent Soul cultivators.
"It seems that this Blood Demon Sword is very suitable for you, fellow Daoist. I am relieved."
"9
The Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect smiled and said.
"It's alright, it does suit me quite well."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yue immediately put the Blood Demon Sword in his hand into a jade box made of top-grade thousand-year-old cold jade, affixed a talisman, put it into his storage bag, and nodded with a light smile.
"By the way, there is something I would like to tell the Grand Elder."
After the Blood Demon Sword incident, Lin Yue told the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect everything that had happened at Yan Family Fortress.
This includes matters concerning Wang Chan and Yan Ruyan, both of whom are in his hands.
Lin Yue was not comfortable settling Wang Chan and Yan Ruyan in Yan Family Fort.
"I never imagined that the Yan Family Fortress would originate from the Ghost Spirit Sect of the Tianluo Kingdom."
After hearing Lin Yue's words, the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect was still shaken and said...
"In that case, I thank you for resolving this calamity. With this young sect leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect, dealing with the Ghost Spirit Sect will probably be much easier." The Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect smiled even more broadly.
"How is the war going now?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yue then inquired about the war situation.
This matter was quite important to him. It concerned the atmosphere of war and when he should flee.
"The Kingdom of Cheqi and the Kingdom of Jiang have both fallen. However, the six demonic sects of the Kingdom of Tianluo have also suffered heavy losses, with as many as seven or eight Core Formation stage cultivators falling. The cultivators of the seven sects, along with the remaining cultivation sects and families of the Kingdom of Cheqi and the Kingdom of Jiang, have all retreated to various border areas of the Kingdom of Yue to resist the invasion of the army of the six demonic sects of the Kingdom of Tianluo. They are barely holding on by relying on the arrays and restrictions they set up in advance."
"At the same time, the Yuanwu Kingdom and the Zijin Kingdom also sent cultivators and disciples to help, and they were able to hold on. However, if we want to completely resist and defeat the six demonic sects of the Tianluo Kingdom, the strength of our few countries alone is far from enough. Meanwhile, the sects and families of the cultivation world in other countries are still watching or supporting the countries that have been invaded by the Righteous Alliance."
At this point, the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect looked quite grim.
"This is really troublesome."
After listening to the words of the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect, Lin Yue frowned and sighed.
"What you say is very true, fellow Daoist. I wonder if you would be willing to help? The six demonic sects of Tianluo Kingdom have sent down a challenge. Nascent Soul stage cultivators will fight at the border, best of seven rounds. If the seven sects win, the six demonic sects of Tianluo Kingdom will not invade the cultivation world of Yue Kingdom for ten years. If the six demonic sects win, the Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the seven sects will not be allowed to deal with the Core Formation stage cultivators of the six sects."
"With your supernatural powers, it shouldn't be difficult for you to win a match. As for me, if I were to consume your Longevity Netherworld Fruit, my injuries and vital energy would surely be fully restored. Perhaps I could even take this opportunity to break through to the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm. If nothing unexpected happens, I could also win a match."
"However, there are still two matches left to win, and I'm not so sure I can win. Although my junior sister is also in the mid-Nascent Soul stage, she has only just broken through and hasn't fully mastered her supernatural abilities. At most, she's only slightly stronger than a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator. And the six sects of the Demonic Path naturally have no shortage of veteran mid-Nascent Soul cultivators, so I really don't have much of a chance of winning."
"As for the fellow Daoists from the other factions, they are all only at the early Nascent Soul stage, making it almost impossible for them to win. And the fellow Daoists from other countries do not want to meddle in other people's business, so they cannot ask for help at all."
The Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect, Mei Zi, pleaded with a hopeful expression.
"I'm sorry, but I have no desire to have any contact with demonic cultivators, and I have other matters to attend to right now, so I simply don't have the time."
Lin Yue shook his head and refused.
After all, this kind of thing is really of no use to him, and may even expose his true level, which would be a big problem then.
Therefore, Lin Yue chose to refuse.
"Then forget it."
Upon hearing this, disappointment flashed in the eyes of the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect, and he forced a smile.
She had absolutely no confidence in this bet.
The difference in strength between the two sides was too great, even for Nascent Soul cultivators. It was already quite good that they were able to protect themselves and escape unscathed without being killed by the other side.
As for winning, she's the only one with a slight chance, and even that's not very likely.
After all, there are quite a few people among the six sects of the demonic path whose cultivation level surpasses hers, so her chances of winning are naturally not high.
"Although I won't interfere much in this matter, I won't be leaving Yue Kingdom anytime soon. So, if there's an opportunity, I'll try my best to help. After all, I believe the Six Demonic Sects won't let go of the chance to infiltrate Yue Kingdom and cause trouble."
Lin Yue continued.
In particular, the areas where the seven sects of Yue Kingdom and the six demonic sects of Tianluo Kingdom produce raw materials and spirit stones are the main targets of sneak attacks by cultivators from both sides.
The purpose was to disrupt each other's logistics.
After all, war is all about logistics and national strength.
Compared to the six demonic sects of Tianluo Kingdom, only the combined strength of Yue Kingdom, Yuanwu Kingdom, Zijin Kingdom, Cheqi Kingdom, and Jiang Kingdom at their peak could possibly rival the six demonic sects of Tianluo Kingdom.
And this is all contingent on the Grand Elder of the Hehuan Sect, the Hehuan Old Demon, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, not intervening.
If he were to make a move, there would be almost no chance of winning.
The supernatural powers and strength of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator are incomparable to those of a mid-stage or early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
Otherwise, why would there only be three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators in the entire Tiannan cultivation world?
Wait, three people?
"Elder, do you know if any other cultivation sects in other countries have any intention of forming alliances?"
Thinking of this, Lin Yue asked again.
"An alliance? That's easier said than done. The attitudes of the various cultivation sects are different. If we want them to join forces to deal with the invasion of the righteous and demonic paths, it's probably only possible if our countries are completely conquered and the righteous and demonic paths come to their doorstep."
The Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect sneered, deeply dissatisfied with the indifferent attitude of other countries who stood by and watched, yet there was nothing he could do about it.
Since the choice was in those people's hands, she had no recourse.
"What do fellow Daoists Long Han and Feng Bing from the Mingluan Sect have to say?"
Lin Yue pressed for an answer.
Compared to Nascent Soul cultivators from other countries, Lin Yue cared most about the Daoist couple Long Han and Feng Bing.
The two Daoist partners, working together, were enough to rival a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and were later the leaders of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.
With these two in charge, the Heavenly Alliance might actually be established ahead of schedule.
"Long Han and Feng Bing are currently in seclusion at the Mingluan Sect cultivating a divine ability. It is said that if they can successfully cultivate it, the two of them together will be able to rival a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator."
Upon hearing Lin Yue's question, the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect did not hide anything and told him the information he had gathered over the years.
"I wonder when they will be able to emerge from seclusion. If they truly succeed in their cultivation and two of them step forward, perhaps the alliance can be formed."
""
Lin Yue's expression was solemn as he spoke in a deep voice.
"Who can know? For Nascent Soul cultivators like you and me, cultivating supernatural abilities can take anywhere from three to five years to thirty to fifty years, or even a hundred years."
The Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect said with a bitter expression.
She was well aware of the consequences if Long Han and Feng Bing, the Daoist couple, successfully cultivated the Mingluan Sect's divine power.
She had also heard of that supernatural power, so she knew it wasn't exaggerated.
Since the Daoist couple Long Han and Feng Bing do not leave seclusion, the Mingluan Sect will not offer any assistance.
"This is really troublesome."
Seeing this, Lin Yue sighed. He couldn't help with this kind of cultivation technique.
"That's true, but with the combined strength of the three kingdoms and the array we set up in advance, the restrictions still have a chance to hold off the six demonic sects."
"However, winning this bet is almost impossible."
At this point, the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect turned his gaze to Lin Yue.
Seeing this, Lin Yue ignored the topic and instead took out a jade box with talismans attached from his storage bag and spoke.
"This is the Longevity Netherworld Fruit. With that, I have fulfilled my promise to Wan'er. If there is nothing else, I shall take my leave now."
As soon as the Longevity Netherworld Fruit appeared, the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect's fiery and alluring gaze instantly fell upon the jade box.
After all, how could she not care about the precious medicinal herbs that were related to her life and death?
Who would want to die if they could live this long, especially for cultivators?
It could even be said that cultivators are more afraid of death than ordinary mortals, otherwise why would they cultivate immortality!
Is it fun?
"Thank you, fellow Daoist."
The Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect rose and bowed deeply to Lin Yue with a solemn expression, his face filled with gratitude, to express his thanks.
"Elder, there's no need for that. You should thank Wan'er."
Lin Yue shook his head and smiled.
"Yes! We should thank Wan'er properly."
The Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect nodded slightly in agreement.
"If there is nothing else, I shall take my leave now."
Lin Yue then stood up and said.
"Very well, I'll see you off, fellow Daoist. However, I hope you will not let Wan'er down in the future."
After receiving the jade box containing the Longevity Netherworld Sun Fruit, the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect also gracefully escorted it away.
After leaving the Sunset Hall of the Hidden Moon Sect, Lin Yue quickly found Nangong Wan, who had made arrangements for Yan Ruyan and was staying alone in a mountain pavilion of the Hidden Moon Sect.
"Wan'er, what are you thinking about?"
Lin Yue silently landed in the pavilion, walked up and chuckled.
"Brother Panwu, have you finished your discussion with your master?"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Wan blushed, clearly startled, and quickly asked.
"Naturally, we've already reached an agreement; otherwise, why would we come to Wanjiu?"
Lin Yue nodded. Then, ignoring Nangong Wan's slight resistance, Cheng grabbed her slender, soft, and boneless waist and pulled her into his arms, sitting down on the stone chair in the pavilion.
"Brother Panwu, Sister Ruyan has made all the arrangements and is currently in seclusion in my cave to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."
Seeing that she couldn't resist, Nangong Wan said in a rather resentful tone.
After all, the relationship between Erwu was no different from that of Daoist couples, especially since Ren Linyue had already proposed marriage to her master, Elder Jizong.
Lin Yue, however, insisted on taking Yan Ruyan as a maid to warm the room and even asked her to make arrangements.
If she weren't so magnanimous, she would have quit long ago.
"This matter has been hard on Wan'er; this woman's methods are used to keep the Yan Family Fort under control."
Lin Yue could naturally hear the resentment in Nangong Wan's words, and explained with a smile.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Nangong Wan's beautiful face fell, and she hesitated for a moment, then seemed to remember something.
"Master, have you agreed to my request?"
After speaking, Nangong Wanyu's face flushed red, her beauty was exquisite and captivating.
"I agree, I agree. She said it's all up to you. If you're unwilling, I, Cheng, cannot force you, otherwise she will definitely not let me go. As for the Longevity Netherworld Sun Fruit, she exchanged it for the Blood Demon Sword. I, Cheng, have agreed."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yue sighed, and You Fang said helplessly.
"Hehe, let's see if you dare to bully me again in the future."
After hearing Lin Yue's words, Nangong Wanyu's face was full of joy, and she couldn't help but tease him.
"Does Wanjiu mean she agrees?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Nangong Wan blushed and, barely suppressing her shyness, let out a soft "Mmm."
"Hahaha."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yue couldn't help but burst into laughter, then picked up Nangong Wan around the waist and carried her towards the cave.
Nangong Wancheng buried her head in Lin Yue's chest, and Gun Zhao's face stirred Lin Yue's heart even more.
