Longevity Chronicles

The Medicine King Temple, enshrouded by the barrier of the cultivators, experienced the fluctuating emotions of thousands of cultivators and Demon and Monster from all directions during this night.

The initial anticipation was for a battle of Perfect Transcend Mortality, and when that fell through, news spread that one could effortlessly grab others' treasures, causing great elation, only for those treasures to fly into the hands of others.

Before they could become infuriated, the situation changed again.

A peculiar cultivator appeared, waving his sleeve to collect one of the main characters, the "Undying Doctor Immortal."

Now, this cultivator revealed strength capable of contending with the Cavernous Mystery Realm.

No!

More accurately, he was suppressing Liu Hongsheng of the Demon City, the Great Demon of the Cavernous Mystery Realm, in battle.

Liu Hongsheng, this cultivator with a mysterious background, had a substantial reputation within the Demon City.

Hence, upon seeing this sight, many onlookers excitedly cheered, feeling the trip was worthwhile.

Above them, hearing Liu Hongsheng's words that carried a soft undertone beneath their apparent solidity, Tao Qian burst into laughter.

He had paid a price to have Yuan Gong take over his body.

Having barely released the "Demon Suppressing Sword Intent," he intended to use Liu Hongsheng's cultivated power and position to practice and gain benefits. How could he possibly let him go so easily?

Therefore, not only did Tao Qian not leave, but he also slashed with even more vigor.

The Spirit Treasure Returning Immortal Technique also operated wildly, borrowing tremendous mana from the ancestors.

As Tao Qian slashed, the gigantic Rat Demon's flesh was turned inside out, drenched in blood, and he taunted with a laugh:

"You don't want to trouble me, yet I insist on troubling you."

"Mr. Liu Daoist, earlier you were so arrogant, completely disregarding me, and now how do you think to deceive me with words to retreat?"

"As for whether I am a Secret Demon Child, why doesn't Mr. Liu Daoist verify it with his life?"

"My divinations are always accurate; I said you would face two disasters, and so you shall."

"No skimping!"

With these words spoken,

the thousands of cultivators and demons below, scattered around to avoid the aftermath, all inwardly acclaimed his dominance.

Looking up above, a blood-red sword net spread out across the sky, terrifying as a storm, densely covering the Medicine King Temple's sky, forcing the other Cavernous Mystery cultivators to yield some territory.

The Black Armored General of the Ninth Prince was entirely independent, the two invited by the White Lotus Sect remained spectators as Tao Qian didn't touch the lotus pond, and the Xiu Family Elders felt apprehensive of Tao Qian's suddenly displayed terrifying power.

Of course, these individuals were all wary of Tao Qian's Secret Demon Sacrifice Body Sword.

"This strange Daoist can unleash [Demon Suppressing]; who knows what else he can do, if I approach and he unexpectedly strikes with [Destroying Buddha], [Demon Cleansing], wouldn't that lead directly to disaster?"

This common thought caused several of them to remain spectators for the time being.

As a result, Liu Hongsheng was put in a difficult position.

Forced to reveal his true form, a grotesquely ugly gigantic golden Rat Demon, wearing a head full of Copper Coin, Ancient Coin, ingots, and banknotes, struggled within the Demon Suppressing sword net.

If it were other Sword Cultivators, he thought he could manage.

But unfortunately, this was the Demon Suppressing Sword Intent.

The dreaded old ancestor of the Secret Demon Sect had created a sword technique specifically targeting the Devil Clan, born to counter devils like him innately.

Before long, Liu Hongsheng's body was left without a patch of unharmed skin.

The glittering golden rat fur was almost entirely stripped away, and the now almost bald merchant, repulsively ugly, was hard to bear looking at.

"Xiu Daocheng, with the friendship we share, how can you stand idly by at this moment?"

"I see this man is still young, surely he only knows the Demon Suppressing Sword. You are not a devil, what are you afraid of?"

"When you came to the Demon City, I treated you well for months, offering all enjoyments, so please come to my aid quickly."

Hearing these words bellowed from the bloodied Rat Demon entangled within the sword net,

even the ordinary cultivators below shook their heads.

Such a tone was no way to ask for help.

Could it be that the Demon Suppressing Sword Intent made the merchant lose his senses?

Indeed, upon hearing these words from Liu Hongsheng, the elder named "Xiu Daocheng" showed displeasure on his face.

However, what Liu Hongsheng said was also true; he indeed received many favors from Liu Hongsheng in the Demon City.

Given the young appearance of that strange Daoist, it was common sense that being able to produce the Demon Suppressing Sword Intent was already a sign of genius.

He surely wouldn't know the other Sword Intents within the Sacrifice Sword.

If he helped now, he could certainly make Liu Hongsheng owe him a big favor...

Just as the thought arose in the Xiu Family Elder's mind, the scene suddenly changed.

The bullying Tao Qian, upon hearing those words, abruptly turned his head, fixing his gaze not only on Xiu Daocheng but also glancing at the other three Cavernous Mystery cultivators.

The next moment, another terrifying Sword Intent soared to the sky.

Although it quickly receded, it nevertheless sent another wave of cultivators into a fright.

Immortal Slaying!

Although not many were scared to death on the spot compared to Demon Suppressing, the might of the Immortal Slaying Sword Intent was even more terrifying.

The previously eager Xiu Daocheng immediately halted.

Though he was not of the Immortal kind, he belonged to Alien Species.

If the Daoist could do Demon Suppressing and Immortal Slaying, wouldn't he be capable of "Slaying Strange"?

Sharing the same thoughts were Master Jing Yin and the Witch Jiang Ruyu.

Tao Qian, seeing his intimidation effective, didn't harbor much joy.

He was acutely aware that the situation wasn't as favorable as it appeared; he could flip over at any moment.

For now, he was merely taking advantage of the complex relationships between the two major forces present and these Cavernous Mystery cultivators, which led him to target He Sen and Liu Hongsheng.

On the surface, Tao Qian still maintained an intimidating presence, but inwardly he muttered:

"It's about time to leave; to delay further may invite misfortune."
