The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 401 Where are the Five Poisons?
Wang Wu stood on the edge of the desert, thought for a moment, but did not go there himself, as his true form would not leave the protection range of the Hidden Origin Bell.

However, he still had three top-grade hairs. He took one out, transformed it into Hair Lord, and then separated a wisp of divine thought. In an instant, he silently crossed the invisible boundary and headed straight for the desert.

At this moment, Wang Wu's true form casually used the Ruyi Anwu Technique to transform into a speck of dust, waiting in place, which could serve as a signal relay station.

Otherwise, if they are too far apart, he will be unable to sense and contact that divine thought.

A moment later, the Supreme Hairy Lord had traveled tens of thousands of miles. Then, Wang Wu finally began to see some scattered people, like escaped prisoners, some human and some demon, but no spirits or monsters.

They were all very quiet, each one thin and bony, lying dormant underground, with only their noses or eyes showing. They didn't speak to each other, and at first glance, one might mistake them for zombies in the desert, patiently waiting for their prey to come to them.

No, they were actually waiting for prey, because although the desert environment looked harsh, there were indeed some strange little insects, but they weren't active on the ground, they were underground.

In any case, Wang Wu glanced around and saw at least several hundred hunting teams active in the desert that stretched for thousands of miles.

Some of these hunting teams even went tens of thousands of meters underground, not just to hunt, but also to mine minerals and quarry stones.

It was quite lively.

As you go further, you can finally see some stone castles, but these stone castles were not there originally. There are no stone mountains in the desert, only sand. If you want stones, you have to go underground to mine them.

After the stones were mined, they were used to build a stone castle. Some windproof magic arrays were then roughly laid out on top. The castle wasn't large, but the interior was completely different from the outside environment. It had a place to live and a spiritual field, and it looked quite decent.

These stone castles are not too far apart from each other, and the residents are basically divided according to ethnic groups, but there are also a few mixed-race communities.

Wang Wu looked through each of the stone fortresses, but he didn't see Xiong Shiliu, Yuan Bupo, General Xuelang, or Madam Yu. He figured their circumstances must be pretty good, since everyone who escaped from the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower must have some savings.

As they continued to advance, more and more stone castles appeared, and even some sizable cities began to emerge, demonstrating effective management practices.

It wasn't until Wang Wu saw a giant city spanning hundreds of miles that he finally saw someone he knew.

At the city gate, a huge-bellied pig, showing no signs of thinning, seemed to have become the city gate official. It sat there with an air of authority, quite imposing. Hundreds of demon soldiers, who looked capable and quite powerful, stood on either side, checking the pedestrians entering and leaving the city.

It seems it didn't suffer much, and its strength even advanced to the second rank.

A second-rank demon king, even in the past, would have been quite a figure.

Wang Wu passed by it, spun around, but didn't disturb it.

Because it's uncertain whether Kameta is still watching him.

It doesn't matter if he loses this one precious hair; the key is to take all his men away quietly.

However, once inside the city, Wang Wu sensed something was amiss. Although everything seemed normal, the city was actually tense on the inside but relaxed on the outside, as if something extraordinary was about to happen.

"Wait, could it be that that bastard Five Poisons has predicted my arrival again? But that shouldn't be the case!"

Wang Wu was puzzled. Now that he was protected by the Hidden Origin Bell, even with the Five Poisons' level 25 precognitive ability, they really couldn't predict anything about him anymore.

Just as he was thinking this, a thought suddenly struck him. He looked into the distance and saw that tens of thousands of miles away, a divine light suddenly fell from the sky, and an extremely terrifying aura instantly swept across a radius of 100,000 miles!
Wang Wu was so frightened that he almost ran away, thinking that Turtle Taizhen had arrived.

But then he realized something was wrong.

So familiar, so—wait, it's not Gui Taizhen, it's She Shijiu, and, moreover, this is the aura of a Taiyi True Immortal. Has She Shijiu advanced to Taiyi True Immortal?

What the hell!

What is this scenario?
Is he dreaming?

It's incredible.

He was still in a daze when deafening cheers erupted throughout the city. Then he saw the Snake Emperor, the Tree Grandpa, the old fox, and the Stone Demon. They all looked very old, as if their kidneys had been cut off and their vitality was greatly damaged. But he didn't see Lu Wuchen.

There were no Five Poisons, Yue Shan, or any of his acquaintances. Among them, he saw Old Ox, Wolf Bu Er, Ox Xiao Cao, and so on. Something was not quite right.

and many more!

Wang Wu turned around and saw a flash of divine light. Snake Nineteen appeared on the city wall. It looked completely different from before. It was calm, confident, and profound. Although its strength was not yet at the level of Turtle Tai Zhen, it was enough to be at the table.

Most importantly, Wang Wu saw the Vermilion Bird Immortal Lord, who was standing right next to Snake Nineteen.

So, is the Vermilion Bird Immortal Lord the biggest supporter of Snake Nineteen's advancement?
That's right, that's right, that makes sense. Otherwise, how could Snake Nineteen have advanced to the Taiyi True Immortal realm so quickly? Even riding a rocket wouldn't be that fast!
"From this moment forward, I hereby declare that the Sin Prison Legion will be officially renamed the Vermilion Bird Immortal Clan's Nineteenth Legion! Snake Nineteen will serve as the Legion's Commander! At the same time, the military expenditure will be 10 billion units of spiritual energy annually! We will build a colossal city and construct formidable passes, using these as the front line against the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance!"

As the Vermilion Bird Immortal Lord's voice faded, cheers once again resounded throughout the city. The Sin Prison Legion had finally changed its original fate. Although they still had to fight and contend, having enough spiritual energy and going into battle on an empty stomach were two completely different things.

"Now, I will select three ninth-grade immortal artifacts from the Vermilion Bird Immortal Clan's Immortal Martial Treasury and give them to Snake Nineteen free of charge, and appoint him as the fifth vice leader of the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance."

Wow, that's really generous!

Wang Wu was somewhat impressed, but at the same time he had to admire the Vermilion Bird Immortal Lord's boldness. Although he still didn't know how this woman had planned it, she had undoubtedly succeeded.

Although Snake Nineteen had advanced to the Taiyi True Immortal realm, his foundation was still too weak. Even though the Sin Prison Legion had become the Vermilion Bird Nineteenth Legion, its foundation remained very thin. It could only obediently and loyally follow and support the Vermilion Bird Immortal Lord. Internally, it could deter Turtle Taizhen, and externally, it could contend with the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance.

Adding to the situation at the Hidden Origin Society in Dragon Head City, it's no longer so easy for the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance to annex the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance.

Just as he was thinking this, Wang Wu suddenly felt a surge of emotion. The next second, he was suddenly pulled away by an unknown force, and the next moment, he found himself in a room.

Okay, we've been found out.

Wang Wu did not flee, but was somewhat sentimental. The last time they met was in an illusion. He never imagined that time would bring such a huge change.

After a short while, the cheers outside subsided, and the door was quickly opened. Snake Nineteen and Vermilion Bird Immortal walked in hand in hand, seemingly having a good relationship.

"Who is it? It's my little bear. Hmm? The real body didn't come, so you used an avatar? But it doesn't seem to make much difference."

Snake Nineteen saw through Wang Wu's true nature at a glance. With a slight smile, he casually pointed and revealed the true form of Wang Wu's hair. He kneaded it in his hand for a long time before putting it back.

"I admire Fellow Daoist Zhige's caution. I wonder what the situation is like in Dragon Head City lately?" Immortal Lord Vermilion Bird asked with a smile.

"Everything is fine. Song Guangming has been dismissed, and the new person in charge will take office in three days," Wang Wu answered honestly.

"So, you're planning to stay in Dragonhead City?"

"Yes, I prefer a more comfortable life," Wang Wu replied politely, though he was a little curious about what kind of scheme this Vermilion Bird Immortal Lord was up to this time.

"It seems your troubles are really resolved. All your relatives, friends, and women are with me. I didn't tell you before because I was afraid that Turtle Tai would take them all away. Now that you're here, you can take them all with you."

"I see. Thank you, Immortal Lord. I should accept your favor for this matter."

Wang Wu thanked him sincerely, something he hadn't expected. For a moment, his impression of the Vermilion Bird Immortal Lord improved slightly.

"It's nothing, just a small favor. I have other things to do, so I'll have to stay and not keep you company any longer."

After finishing speaking, the Vermilion Bird Immortal smiled politely at Wang Wu and left.

Inside the room, Wang Wu and Snake Nineteen looked at each other for a long time without saying a word. It wasn't awkwardness or any other emotion. Before this, Wang Wu thought he would miss Snake Nineteen, but after seeing her today, he only felt that everything was indifferent.

"Sorry, I thought you would like Mochizuki." Snake Nineteen finally spoke up in a strange way.

"what?"

"Looking at the moon, you like the Vermilion Bird Immortal Lord, Lu Wuchen's nominal wife, don't you? A little she-wolf and Madam Yu, tell me, one might be a coincidence, but two is definitely not a coincidence."

Snake Nineteen sat there lazily, his eyes mischievous and his tone full of teasing.

Wang Wu snorted and sat down in front of it, too lazy to say anything.

He had experienced the viciousness of Snake Nineteen firsthand; once you started talking to it, you would truly feel that everything was meaningless and utterly boring.

Silence is the best weapon against Snake Nineteen.

"You little ingrate, now that you've grown up, you think you can just ignore everything, huh?"

Wang Wu remained silent.

"Alright, alright, I admit defeat. It's all my fault. From now on, you go your way and we'll go ours. We'll have nothing to do with each other anymore. Is that alright?"

Snake Nineteen pretended to be very sad.

Wang Wu finally said in a deep voice, "If you can't make it in the future, you can come to Dragon Head City to find me. It's not far, less than 180,000 li from here. In fact, as long as you step into Dragon Head City within 150,000 li, I can protect you."

"What, you brat, are you worried about me? I'm a dignified Taiyi True Immortal now! By the way, you really didn't take a liking to Wangyue? I have a feeling she's interested in you. You still need a proper wife. A Celestial Lord from the Vermilion Bird Alliance—he has the status, and he's not bad-looking either..."

"Stop!" Wang Wu could only interrupt Snake Nineteen, then asked seriously, "Where are the Five Poisons? I feel something is wrong."

"Five Poisons? Wasn't he in Dragon Head City? He went there a year ago. I thought you were a steward of the Hidden Origin Society there—no way, he's not in Dragon Head City?"

Snake Nineteen's expression was quite exaggerated at first, but gradually, it finally figured it out. The next second, it disappeared from the spot, and the next second it came back, holding the old Snake Emperor in its hand.

"Father, where are the Five Poisons?"

"Five Poisons? What Five Poisons? Little Nineteen, what are you talking about? You're going to ruin my life!" the Snake Emperor said listlessly.

At this moment, Wang Wu and Snake Nineteen's expressions finally changed!
Then they shouted out two words at the same time.

"Come on!"
