Chapter 3488 Taking Action
Zhang Xuezhou had to admit that the demon kings Yangli and Luli were excellent alchemists.

The other party's alchemy room was well-organized, without any of the rough manners of demons, and even more meticulous than that of human alchemists.

Everything needed by alchemists, such as incense burners and ritual items for cleansing and bathing, was provided, and there was a dedicated room to accomplish these tasks.

Zhang Xuezhou was unfamiliar with the practices of demon alchemists, but he was very familiar with the habits of human alchemists.

He only needs to search according to human habits to find the pills refined by the Sheep Demon King.

"Grand Alchemist, you are truly amazing! You even knew about the pills that the Demon King Yangli buried here!"

The spotted mandarin duck woman transformed into a beautiful woman with a slightly hunched back, her skin covered in spots, making her look somewhat strange.

The other party followed behind Zhang Xuezhou and tried to curry favor with him from time to time.

"Take it and eat it!"

Zhang Xuezhou unearthed the elixirs nurtured in this palace.

Uncovering the earthenware jar wrapped in red cloth, dozens of damp Qiancao Dan pills came into view.

The types of pills treasured by demon kings like Yang Li must be better than the Hundred Herbs Pill, but if they were to refine higher-level pills, they would lack the corresponding ability.

The earthenware jar of Thousand Herbs Pills that Zhang Xuezhou dug up was the lifeblood of the three demon kings.

He casually picked up one and gave it to the spotted mandarin duck, while his own head suddenly grew several times larger, and he swallowed the Thousand Herbs Pills directly.

The spotted mandarin duck woman, who was overjoyed to receive the elixir, shivered, momentarily unable to determine whether Zhang Xuezhou was human or a demon.

"You can go back now. When you get back to the Cold Pool, tell Lingyu not to wander off!"

Upon hearing Zhang Xuezhou's instructions, the woman in the spotted robe nodded repeatedly and hopped and skipped away.

"Donghua and his group will only have one chance to act, and this time they may not be able to rest!"

The distance between Xiniu Hezhou and the sacred land of Xieluoschuan is long, and even with a magical treasure like the Eight Views Carriage, it would be difficult to travel there in a short time. The two leaders of the Western Sect also disliked long journeys.

The Donghua Group's scheme is quite difficult, as it's hard to repeatedly manipulate the two leaders of the Western Church. This time, a result is bound to be achieved.

As demonic power slowly developed within his body, Zhang Xuezhou felt that Zhu Jiuyin was facing a very difficult challenge.

Donghua's actions inexplicably clashed directly with Zhang Xuezhou's. He was hoping that Zhujiuyin would help Ren Anran quickly master the Great Wilderness Creation Scripture, and they also discussed the Yang Soul Transformation Technique to guide the cultivation in reality to overcome the risks.

It's like they're natural enemies; of all times, Donghua just had to come at this crucial juncture.

Zhang Xuezhou used to hope to get some bargains, but now he just wants Zhu Jiuyin to be as safe as possible.

"These Creation Pills are terrible! My treasured pills aren't even graded!"

Zhang Xuezhou's demonic power recovered slowly, and his magical power recovered just as quickly.

There is only one Immortal Lord Laozi, and only one alchemist like him. Most alchemists in the world are like the Demon King Yangli, who treat even low-grade pills as treasures.

These medicinal mud and ointments, which were used as waste pills in Shanglin Garden, were treasured by the three demon kings in the hope of nourishing them and removing the poison from the pills.

Zhang Xuezhou searched the palace for a while, and his stomach had already been stuffed with more than ten catties of pills.

Even if he has excellent absorption ability and the ability to avoid toxins, he still needs time to digest and absorb them.

He eventually found a spot with a distant view to observe, and then continuously urged these pills, which were as rare as gold in the dung, to be digested and absorbed.

Every now and then, Zhang Xuezhou would stuff a handful of medicinal paste into his mouth to replenish his fluids.

“We have already paid a visit to you five old dragons according to etiquette, and waited for so long, which is more than enough to give Zhujiuyin face. He refused to see us and humiliated us, and did not even send a clone. This is unacceptable!”

Above the lake in the sacred land of Xieluoschuan, the voice of Donghua about to make a move came from the Eight Views Carriage, and Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"His Majesty has decreed that no one is allowed to enter or leave this place. This applies even to Daojun and Jiuling, let alone distant relatives like you!"

"that is!"

"When we were bullied by humans, Kunlun didn't even stand up for us!"

"Why should we be obligated to welcome you just because you want to stay?" "Not receiving you is an insult, and you even dared to lash out at us! This is utterly abusive kinship; we'd rather not have this kind of relationship!"

In the lake, the five dragon kings responded one after another.

Zhang Xuezhou had met the Five Lakes Dragon Kings more than half a month ago and knew very well that these Dragon Kings were impeccable in their gatekeeping duties. If they said no one could enter or leave, they would definitely not. They were as stubborn as iron heads.

No amount of polite visits or courteous visits will work. No matter what methods Donghua has used before, the Five Lakes Dragon King will not open the door without Zhujiuyin's order.

"Gentlemen, these five worms are yours to take care of," Donghua said. "They have a good chance of defeating one of you, but they'll definitely lose against both of you!"

"Haotian, if we make a move this time, we won't be able to fight the next round," the leader of the Jieyin Sect warned.

"Absolutely, absolutely," Master Zhunti nodded in agreement. "Let's make this clear from the start: if you agree to our terms but fail to fulfill them, the Western Heavenly Gate will belong to us, and the Celestial Court and the Heavenly Court will never again be allowed to invade our sacred mountain!"

"Can!"

In the Eight Views Carriage, Donghua, who was impersonating the Emperor, nodded.

Donghua is a top-tier being, so there's no problem with him impersonating the Emperor; his words and actions are no different from those of a superior.

After meeting Donghua, Daojun made a judgment. Although Zhujiuyin had not met him, he had already guessed the truth. The two leaders obviously did not have the ability in this regard, but instead formed an agreement with him.

Zhang Xuezhou found it difficult to judge the attitudes of the emperor, empress, and others.

Zhang Xuezhou quickly deduced that a battle was about to take place. Just as the sound he was listening to ended, he saw the leader of the Jieyin Sect reach out and throw the Qinglian Platform into the lake.

In the instant the spell was cast, blue lotuses bloomed in the lake of the Xieluoschuan Holy Land.

"You're not following the rules!"

The Dragon King roared from the lake, and then a wave of water tens of meters high crashed down like a tidal wave.

A sharp golden beam of light flew past amidst the waves.

Like piercing through the netherworld, the long golden beam, like the first star in the cold night, coldly nailed into everyone's vision, making them feel as if their bodies would be pierced in the next instant.

"A trivial skill!"

The Master Zhunti took out the Seven Treasures Tree and swept it away. The golden light that had pierced through the water waves was swept away by the Seven Treasures Tree and transformed into a golden dragon horn.

"The Golden Dragon King's dragon horn demon treasure is too focused on the sharpness of gold and incorporates too much Geng metal. Such a treasure is too rigid and easily broken. Not to mention that my Seven Treasures Tree can brush it down, Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light can easily subdue your demon treasure!"

The Seven Treasures Tree swept away a golden dragon horn, and the Master Zhunti reached out and grabbed it, then held the dragon horn in his palm.

The dragon horn struggled and tumbled in his hand, only to be repeatedly brushed off by the Seven Treasures Tree, rendering it completely immobile.

"Trying to use wooden tricks in front of me is just asking for trouble!"

Suddenly, five wooden stakes appeared in the lake, pointing straight at the leader of the Zhunti sect.

This made the leader of the Guiding Sect shake his head. As he reached out, blue lotuses bloomed on the wooden stake, turning it into rotten wood almost instantly.

"As long as we're not completely dead, no one can open the gate to this secret place!"

Within the lake, the angry voices of the Five Lakes Dragon Kings resounded throughout the surrounding area.

"Jieyin and Zhunti, what great skills do you have in the air? If you have the guts, fight in the water!"

"Right on my mind!"

The leaders of the Jieyin and Zhunti sects looked at each other and spoke at the same time.

Without the two of them using any water-avoidance techniques, they simply leaped into the lake with their magical artifacts in hand.

A deafening explosion suddenly resounded in the lake, and a crimson stain quickly appeared on the water, which was then covered by the turbidity stirred up by countless clumps of mud.

In an instant, turbid waves rose from the well water in the palace where Zhang Xuezhou was located.

Like a fountain, countless splashes of water, mixed with turbidity and blood, cascaded down.

Donghua and the others' actions were clearly not a simple sparring match done out of anger, but rather an attempt to completely annihilate the Five Lakes Dragon King.
