Starting with warding off evil and disaster, one can ascend to immortality after countless tribulati

Like Zhou Jun, the ancient demon race, the Power Demon race, also fell into deep silence. Batu's aura had disappeared, but Batu was not dead...

"..." Silently looking at the group of clansmen, the clan chief Bach was not very quick-witted. He scratched his head, somewhat puzzled, "What's going on? Why did Batu's aura suddenly disappear?"

"Chieftain, did Batu accidentally get himself sealed away?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. You all know my brother's strength. Dealing with a mere early-stage Golden Core cultivator shouldn't be a problem for him."

Bach patted his chest, clearly unconvinced by his tribesmen's suggestion.

He pondered the reasons silently and finally came to a conclusion.

"That must be it. Batu has already successfully taken over Xian Shu and is deliberately hiding himself because he's afraid we'll compete with him for resources..."

The Strength Demon Clan's strength is linked to their talent, but there is a taboo: the stronger a cultivator is, the lower their intelligence will be.

Therefore, among the entire ancient demon race, the Power Demon can only be considered a bottom-tier being.

Because intelligent people are weak, they have no say.

Faced with Bach's confident words, several tribesmen shook their heads, their throats bobbing as they tried to offer advice.

"Chieftain, Batu has most likely suffered a major setback. We'd better be careful."

Snapped!

He glared at his subordinate and slapped him hard across the face.

Bach's face darkened with malice, and he sneered, "Hmph, you're questioning my judgment?"

I now order you to go and find out what's going on.

With a bitter expression, the ancient demon who had just spoken to Bach wished he could go back a moment and slap himself hard.

Everyone keeps quiet about it, so why bring it up?

That's good, someone went to investigate.

What's the difference between this and sending someone to their death?

grass.

Petty beast.

After a moment of indignation, despite feeling helpless, the ancient demon had no choice but to comply. Going to the Immortal Pivot might not necessarily lead to death, but if he dared to disobey orders, according to the rules of the ancient demon race, he would certainly die.

Since it's a lose-lose situation anyway, I might as well go all in and try my luck; maybe there's still a glimmer of hope.

With a glimmer of hope, the ancient demon of the Purple Mansion Realm arrived at the Immortal Pivot.

With Bachfeli breaking the seal, he arrived at the Celestial Pivot as he wished.

However, Batu was not the one who awaited him.

Moreover, Jiang Ming.

After exchanging a glance, the ancient demon of the Purple Mansion Realm showed a hint of panic, remained silent for a while, and then stood motionless as if resigned to his fate.

A hint of regret appeared in his eyes. "Sigh, I'm going to die anyway, so I'm not afraid. I just want to die knowing why."

Can you tell me how Batu is doing?

"I've sealed it away." Jiang Ming said calmly, illuminating the fire fruit position in the sky.

This ancient demon seems to possess some intelligence and can even communicate with me, so it might be of some use.

Using it to deal with the ancient demon race might be a good strategy to catch them off guard.

"Who sent you? Coming from the Purple Mansion realm is just a pointless death sentence, isn't it?"

"The clan leader sent me." Mentioning Bach, Gu Moqi felt a surge of resentment, growing increasingly aggrieved. He spoke coldly, "He thought Batu had already captured the Immortal Pivot..."

The reason they suddenly lost contact was because they wanted to monopolize the treasures of the Immortal Pivot, so they sent me to supervise them.

I was worried that Batu had run into trouble, so I advised Chief Bach to reconsider the matter, but he wouldn't listen and instead sent me over without even distinguishing right from wrong.

Raising an eyebrow, Jiang Ming gradually figured out what had happened.

I have also gained some understanding of the power of the ancient demon race.

"I won't kill you. Do you want to become the patriarch of the Power Demon Clan?"

Jiang Ming's words had a strong seductive quality.

But it inadvertently piqued the interest of the Ancient Demon of the Purple Mansion.

Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position.

Whether demons or humans, they all share a simple emotion: the desire to be king and dominate. Although the Purple Mansion Ancient Demon is not strong, it possesses a certain level of intelligence.

And so, a huge ambition began to sprout.

He was indeed somewhat tempted by the idea of ​​becoming the leader of the Demon Clan. After a moment of silence, he eagerly asked for more information.

"My name is Barre. How can you help me? There's no such thing as free help in this world. You must have something you want from me."

Let me think about it. You want to use me to deceive Bach, make him underestimate your enemy, and then find an opportunity to eliminate him in one fell swoop?

This kid isn't stupid.

With a gentle smile, Jiang Ming did not deny it. Although the Purple Mansion Ancient Demon had not guessed everything, it was already close to the truth.

"When you return to the Ancient Demon Clan, tell them that Batu has already captured the Immortal Pivot, and that Bach should not come over yet. Also, have you act as a messenger to relay messages between the two places."

When the time comes, you'll just have to follow my orders.

I won't hurt you; I'll even help you.

Of course, you can betray me to claim credit and reward yourself when you get back, but I advise you to remember one thing: no one else will help you seize power except me.

Think about it carefully; after all, this might be your only chance in this lifetime.

"Be loyal to the ancient demons and die a martyr's death, or serve me and take my place. The choice is yours, and I will support whatever you choose."

As soon as Jiang Ming finished speaking, the ancient demon solemnly knelt down in submission.

A strange light flashed in his eyes.

"From this day forward, Barre will be at your service, fellow Daoist. If he harbors even the slightest evil intention, he will surely die a horrible death and never be reincarnated." After swearing a few poisonous oaths to demonstrate his loyalty, Barre scratched his head, a hint of shame on his face.

"I need to see the Celestial Pivot with my own eyes so that I can describe it in detail when I get back. At that time, the simple-minded Bach will definitely believe it."

After that, our plan can proceed as normal.

I will do my best to cooperate with you, and I hope that you will keep your promise and help me ascend to the throne!

"Don't worry, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. We are all hostile to Bach, so that makes us friends."

After saying that, Jiang Ming simply let Bach tour the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In order to accumulate some knowledge and experience, so as not to give himself away when he returned to the ancient demon clan. It is the hardest thing to see through the truth and falsehood.

At that time, the ancient demon, who will be kept in the dark, will inevitably let his guard down, and Jiang Ming will then be able to take the opportunity to unify the five elements.

He became a Golden Elixir True Lord of the five levels of attainment.

By then, his strength will at least reach the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

This is further combined with the Immortal Pivot's suppression of the ancient demons from beyond the realm.

Killing Bach is absolutely feasible and not just empty talk.

"Alright, I'll return to the Ancient Demon Clan now." After bowing deeply, Bare passed through the Ancient Demon Altar and returned to his clansmen.

Seeing that Barre was indeed alive, Bach revealed a smug look, stroked his long beard, and smiled amiably.

"Barei, you always consider yourself a wise man, but how about this time? Am I right? Batu has already occupied Xian Shu."

Right now, they should be measuring the land of the Immortal Pivot.

They've worked hard to help our Demon Clan take over the Celestial Pivot.

Forget about trying; he's already locked up and is a prisoner.

He cursed and swore inwardly, but having learned his lesson, Barre was much smarter this time and took the initiative to flatter him, "Chieftain's insight is brilliant!"

Batu said, "I'll travel between the two places and deliver messages at all times. Chieftain, if you have any orders, I can relay them."

He spoke with a fawning expression.

Bach clearly fell for this, for as a fool, his favorite thing was to win the hearts and minds of intelligent people.

Now, relying on their own wisdom.

Barre, the wise man among the Might Demons, was completely captivated by his personal charm and outstanding wisdom.

"Alright, I'll leave this to you. Remember, there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. Sometimes, I may seem dull, but actually, I'm quite quick-witted."

He stared blankly at Bach.

Barre's mind was racing, but his expression became increasingly obsequious.

"The clan leader is very insightful. I could never learn everything from you in a lifetime."

"Haha, alright, go ahead."

After giving him some instructions, Bach's face was full of satisfaction.

Looking at his clansmen, he couldn't help but feel a bit smug. "Barei's judgment is ultimately no match for mine. We must keep the news of Batu's successful capture of the Immortal Pivot a secret."

"If even one person leaks this information, may they suffer the same fate as this mountain." With a punch thrown from afar, Bach shattered a mountain into pieces, demonstrating his power and giving a warning to the crowd before turning to leave.

"Chief, I still feel something is amiss. Bare is probably not telling the truth; there must be more to this story."

The words had barely left his mouth when Bach punched the speaker to pieces, a hint of impatience in his eyes. "Enough with the rambling. Are you questioning me?"

Since the ancient demons could be resurrected through special means, although everyone was somewhat surprised by Bach's sudden attack, no one dared to speak. After all, Bach had not yet used his full power; otherwise, even the ancient demons would be at risk of death.

……

At that time, Bare returned to the Celestial Pivot once again.

He approached Jiang Ming respectfully and reported what had just happened.

Upon learning that Bach believed his story, Jiang Ming laughed heartily, instantly gaining confidence in slaying this powerful enemy.

Even if this cultivator has a high level of cultivation, he is not a threat. After all, the most important thing in battle is to adapt to changing circumstances. Such a fool is not a threat at all.

In addition, through Barre, Jiang Ming can continuously learn about Bach's weaknesses, so that he can know himself and his enemy and win every battle.

With detailed intelligence support, the chances of victory are very high.

Upon returning to the capital, Jiang Ming settled Bare in and immediately began the cleanup operation.

That good-for-nothing Third Prince! I spared his life, and he was not only ungrateful, but he even sent Chen Zhou to assassinate me. If I hadn't broken through in time, I wouldn't be able to return to the capital right now.

At this moment, inside the Eastern Palace.

The Third Prince and Consort Chen sat together, silently awaiting good news.

However, the next second, they were met by the guards of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Golden Guard, a force that only the emperor could command. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, only Jiang Ming could command the Golden Guard.

Could it be that the plan has failed?

The thought flashed through her mind, and Consort Chen felt a little heavy-hearted. She stepped forward with a forced smile and asked, "Soldiers, why is this?"

My son and I are law-abiding citizens, why has this happened to us?

"I know what I have done. By order of the Emperor of Great Zhou, effective immediately, the Third Prince is hereby deposed as Crown Prince, Consort Chen is to be banished to the Cold Palace, and will be executed in half a month."

Jiang Ming's order was announced in a cold voice. The Third Prince's face turned ashen as he looked at the group of armored soldiers, his face filled with fury.

"No, you can harm me, but don't hurt my mother! Go and summon Jiang Ming to see me. This usurper will get his comeuppance sooner or later!"

After a roar, the armored soldiers, without thinking twice, immediately grabbed the Third Prince and roughly dragged him away.

Seeing this, Consort Chen paled, her face showing a hint of sorrow. She pleaded in a low voice, "Could you please pass on a message? I wish to see Lord Jiang..."

"The Emperor has decreed that neither of you can see anyone. Just wait to die. By the way, you're not alone."

"The entire Chen family, all 150 members, will die with you..."

The cold words of the Imperial Guard extinguished Consort Chen's last glimmer of hope.

Thinking of her brother's death and the repercussions on her family, she couldn't help but feel guilty. If she hadn't been blinded by ambition and had been more docile, she wouldn't be in this situation now.

Unfortunately, it's too late to say this now.

Inside the emperor's palace, Jiang Ming felt quite pleased, surrounded by the top-notch spirit-gathering array and the various maids serving him.

However, after his breakthrough, he was no longer attracted to beautiful women.

She didn't touch any of these palace maids or concubines.

Right now, all he wants to do is cultivate as quickly as possible and improve his strength.

Otherwise, if something unexpected happens to Wuyoutian...

If Zhou Jun suddenly returns to his position, I'll be in big trouble.

Although, at that time, the Grand Preceptor will most likely side with him.

However, if they really started fighting, they would be at a disadvantage.

To avoid this calamity, he must do his utmost to improve his strength.

Currently, the path to enhancing our strength is very clear.

It means constantly acquiring various supreme positions.

With the awe-inspiring power of the heavenly fire, it is actually quite difficult to seize a position, after all, it is the most arrogant position.

Heavenly fire may not allow cultivators to cultivate other fruit positions.

However, for now, Tian Shang Huo is completely obedient to him.

This matter is probably nothing to worry about.

Right now, all we need to do is find the next position that requires gold.

Aside from the Fire Element Fruit, Jiang Ming was most familiar with the Great Forest Wood Fruit. However, he wondered if the phantom of the Great Forest Wood Fruit had been absorbed into Wuyoutian.

If you get sucked in, that's actually not so bad.

If he wasn't absorbed, his plan to seize control of the Great Forest Tree would most likely have failed. Throughout history, there has only been one Great Forest Tree Golden Core cultivator, and one can imagine how formidable his methods are.

The fire in the sky has undergone many changes.

However, the person who achieved this Golden Core stage has always been the same person, which shows just how powerful this person is.

After much deliberation, Jiang Ming decided to investigate further.

Using the earthen walls of the city to gaze into the distance.

The direction of the Dalinmu fruit site gradually became clear in Jiang Ming's eyes.

In a moment, a familiar phantom appeared in the fruition position.

Jiang Ming's pupils contracted, and a strong sense of apprehension instantly arose within him.

They weren't sucked into Wuyoutian!

Why?

No one should be able to escape the rules of Wuyoutian. So how did this True Lord Dalinmu manage to deceive everyone and escape the constraints of Wuyoutian?

How can we play like this? The Great Forest Wood Fruit position is now hopeless.
