Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 89 Liu Wuyou's Troops March on Tianshui City

"To be close to your teacher? Perhaps this is fate," Li Changsheng said.

He's using fate to fool the monkey again.

Last time, it was used to fool calves.

"Fate?" Sun Chengdao thought for a moment. Although he didn't quite understand what fate was, he still said, "Yes, my fate with my master is ordained by heaven."

Li Changsheng smiled and said, "By the way, I'm a little curious, why can the Sacred Embryo of Heaven and Earth develop sentience, while rare treasures of heaven and earth cannot?"

"Master, I don't know either. When I find the Tree of Immortality in the future, I will eat with you and study it at the same time," Sun Chengdao pondered.

"Never mind if you don't know. Come on, go all out against your master and let me see how strong your Foundation Establishment is," Li Changsheng said.

Can't we leave the Tree of Immortality alone?

You all want to eat, how can I possibly have enough to go around?

"Master, you attacked me?" Sun Chengdao immediately shook his head: "No, no, how could I attack Master?"

"Let's see what you're capable of. Do you really think you can hurt your master?"

Li Changsheng laughed and said, "Besides, how can I teach you if I don't understand your strength?"

"Master, please forgive my disrespect!"

Sun Chengdao bowed once, then looked up again, his demeanor undergoing a complete transformation.

Li Changsheng smiled calmly and said, "Come on, use all your strength without worry. If you can harm me in the slightest, I will forge a magic weapon for you."

Sun Chengdao's face lit up with joy, and he asked, "Really?"

"When have I ever lied to you?" Li Changsheng said.

"Master, be careful!"

Sun Chengdao took a deep breath, and mysterious patterns appeared on his body, with a faint divine might spreading and a vast sacred aura emanating from him.

  

The golden monkey, now resembling a deity, gathered all its Dao energy and unleashed a punch at Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng remained motionless, his body radiating five elements of light, instantly dissipating all of Sun Chengdao's power.

"Master." Sun Chengdao looked at his fist in disappointment.

"You're already very strong. Your master is at the peak of the Golden Core stage," Li Changsheng comforted him. "You're much stronger than the ancient demon geniuses."

Sun Chengdao is definitely much stronger than I was in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

With its divine might, sacred aura, and profound patterns, it could easily annihilate even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Even if he were to face Niu Wendao, who was in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, it would be hard to say who would win.

Of course, now that Niu Wendao has joined the Xuantian Sect, he has definitely made a qualitative leap.

"An ancient demon genius? Master has seen an ancient demon genius?" Sun Chengdao asked in surprise.

Li Changsheng said, "Of course, as I mentioned before, there was a green ox in Lingxu Cave Heaven back then, and that green ox has already joined the Xuantian Sect."

"I'm definitely stronger than the ancient demon genius. I'm a holy embryo, the ancestor of the ancient demons!" Sun Chengdao said, raising his head.

"You mustn't be too arrogant or complacent," Li Changsheng said seriously. "Humility, restraint, have you forgotten the monster survival guide?"

"Master is right," Sun Chengdao quickly replied.

"By the way, were those patterns you just revealed ancient demon runes? Back then, the Green Ox couldn't reveal runes even when it was at the Foundation Establishment stage," Li Changsheng said.

"I must thank my master for this." Runes appeared on Sun Chengdao's hand as he said, "If my master hadn't made me explore the path of Foundation Establishment, I really wouldn't have discovered the Five Elements patterns in my body."

"I call them Sacred Marks. There are five types of Sacred Marks, each representing one of the five elements, which can command the power of the five elements of heaven and earth."

"Amazing, truly amazing!" Li Changsheng said, "With this sacred mark, I believe you can cultivate the Five-Colored Divine Light to its full potential."

"Master, I offer the sacred rune to you, wishing you a speedy comprehension of the Pearl Realm," Sun Chengdao said respectfully.

"This is your innate sacred mark, how can you offer it to your master?" Li Changsheng hurriedly refused, though he really wanted it.

There was nothing I could do; I was the master, how could I express that I really wanted it?

That would hurt the monkey's feelings!

Sun Chengdao bowed and said, "Master has taught me wholeheartedly and without reservation. I have no way to repay you. This sacred mark is something I was born with. Perhaps Master can comprehend the method to perfect the Five-Colored Divine Light from it."

After speaking, a five-colored ball of light appeared in Sun Chengdao's palm, containing the Five Elements Sacred Runes.

"This... alright, I'll accept it; whatever magical artifact you want, I'll forge it for you," Li Changsheng said.

"What magical artifact does Master use?" Sun Chengdao asked.

"It depends on what kind of magical artifact you find convenient. Humans like to use knives, spears, swords, halberds, clubs, and the like, as well as some unusual magical artifacts."

Li Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "As for your master, I forged a sword for myself."

"I don't know what kind of magical artifacts I like," Sun Chengdao said, scratching his head.

"No rush, take your time to think it over," Li Changsheng said with a smile. "Let's go upstairs first; Yu'er is waiting for you."

"Yes." Sun Chengdao followed him as he ascended from the ground, returning to the edge of the Dragon Pool.

"Sister Yu'er!" Sun Chengdao rushed over.

Yu'er has already transformed into a half-human form. At the Foundation Establishment stage, she cannot fully transform into a human form and still retains some characteristics of a demon.

Her lower body was still a fish tail, but her upper body was human-like—a beautiful little girl.

Just as Li Changsheng was about to comprehend the Five Elements Sacred Runes, watching the monkey and fish playing happily, Liu Wuyou transmitted his voice to him.

Back in the cabin, Liu Wuyou took out the communication jade pendant and heard Liu Wuyou's voice: "Chang Sheng, Lin Yuemei is about to make her move. Now, apart from Huang Pao and the others, all my subordinates are demon kings she arranged."

"What are your plans?" Li Changsheng asked.

"The Dragon Lord is also waiting for this opportunity, to wait until they all jump out, and then wipe them all out at once," Liu Wuyou said.

"Is the Dragon Lord confident?" Li Changsheng asked worriedly, "Even when Daoist Wuchen came, he couldn't solve it."

"Now that all the demon kings have come out, the only one we need to be wary of is Hengsha Temple, as Buddhism is colluding with them."

Liu Wuyou said, "However, the Dragon Lord said he invited a powerful expert from the East Sea, so he should be able to solve the problem."

"Be careful, I don't want to participate in this battle," Li Changsheng said.

"I understand, you don't like fighting and killing," Liu Wuyou said. "You should leave Tianshui City first, and call all your friends to go with you."

"Okay, please be careful, safety first," Li Changsheng reminded him again.

Liu Wuyou has been a great help to him, and she doesn't want anything to happen to him.

"Now that I have refined ten leaf worlds and comprehended Yin and Yang, I am not afraid even if I reach the Pearl Realm," Liu Wuyou said.

"Better safe than sorry," Li Changsheng said. "The path to becoming a Demon King is like walking on thin ice. Strategically, we must despise the enemy, but tactically, we must take them seriously."

"I know, wait for my good news," Liu Wuyou said.

After hanging up, Li Changsheng also sent a telepathic message to Nie Qiu, telling him not to return to Tianshui City.

As for the source of the information?

I asked Beitianhe Aquarium about arowanas; they're absolutely reliable.

Li Changsheng opened the door and looked at Sun Chengdao and Yu'er, who were playing around. He decided to take them underground to hide.

If it happens to them, then the problem will be huge.

Sun Chengdao's Heavenly Sacred Embryo must absolutely not be exposed!

He led Sun Chengdao and the dragonfish underground and hid.

"Master, Your Majesty, what has happened?" Sun Chengdao and the dragonfish asked.

"Something big is about to happen. You all stay underground and absolutely must not go out," Li Changsheng said solemnly.

Sun Chengdao asked gravely, "What serious matter could be happening? Could it be that the Heavenly Heart Demon King is about to attack?"

"The Heavenly Heart Demon King may be about to attack Tianshui City. This battle will be extremely fierce," Li Changsheng said.

Sun Chengdao and the dragonfish exclaimed in shock, "The Heavenly Heart Demon King is going to attack Tianshui City?"

The Heavenly Heart Demon King's ambitions are too great; the Northern Heavenly River is not enough to satisfy her.

How dare they declare war on Tianshui City?

Sun Chengdao and the dragonfish hid safely underground.

Li Changsheng was also underground with them, studying the Five Elements Sacred Runes.

Immersed in the Five Elements Sacred Runes, I felt the pure and vast power of the Five Elements, endless, like a world of the Five Elements.

A unique divine might is contained within the sacred runes; that unique sacred aura is noble and supreme.

While Li Changsheng was comprehending the Five Elements Sacred Runes, Liu Wuyou began besieging Tianshui City.

Liu Wuyou led many demon kings and countless demon soldiers to surround Tianshui City.

Tianshui City immediately activated its formation and simultaneously requested reinforcements from Hengyun City.

The city lord of Tianshui City climbed the city wall and looked at the willow tree: "Heavenly Heart Demon King, my Tianshui City has never been your enemy, why do you send troops to attack my city?"

"I need a city, and this city has caught my eye!" Liu Wuyou said coldly. "Lord of Tianshui City, surrender now, and I will spare your life!"

"I am the city lord of the human race, how could I surrender to a mere demon like you?!" The city lord of Tianshui City sneered, "Even the Blood Lotus Demon Sect couldn't break through the city back then, let alone a demon king like you?!"

"Then I'll show you how a city falls and people die!" Liu Wuyou coldly shouted, "Minions, attack the city! Once inside, all humans will be food for you to devour!"

"Break the city, feast on blood!"

"Break the city, feast on blood!"

The demon army roared wildly, their voices shaking the heavens, and terrifying demonic energy soared into the sky, forming pitch-black clouds.

As far as the eye could see, there was an endless army of demons.

Tianshui City is completely surrounded and isolated.

The formation activated, and a golden barrier enveloped the city.

Countless lesser demons rushed towards the city, but they couldn't break through the barrier at all; instead, they crashed into it and ended up bleeding profusely.

"Flower Demon King, will you breach the city tonight?" Liu Wuyou asked Lin Yuemei in a cold voice.

Lin Yuemei bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there is no rush now; it is not the right time."

"Hmm? You're eager for me to take action, but now's not the right time?" Liu Wuyou's voice was icy. "Are you toying with me?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I was not toying with you, but the elixir of immortality still needs to be prepared."

Lin Yuemei smiled coldly and said, "Your Majesty, don't you want to see the high monk?"

"Oh?" Liu Wuyou asked in surprise, "A high monk?"

"Your Majesty killed Wangyue and obtained the Sutra of the Bodhisattva Taiyin. I know this, Your Majesty is interested in Buddhist scriptures."

Tianshui City has already requested assistance; the eminent monks of Hengsha Temple will arrive soon.

Lin Yuemei said, "If we capture the eminent monk, Your Majesty can discuss Buddhist teachings with him. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Liu Wuyou pondered for a moment and said, "That makes sense, but the eminent monk of Hengsha Temple is at the Primordial Pearl Realm. Are you confident in your abilities?"

"Your Majesty, the lives of the people of Tianshui City are in our hands. The high monk, who claims to be compassionate, has no choice but to submit if he does not want the people to die," Lin Yuemei said with a light laugh.

"Very good, then I'll do as you say," Liu Wuyou said with satisfaction.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lin Yuemei bowed again, her head lowered, her face icy cold and her eyes full of disdain.

The other demon kings remained silent, but their eyes showed no respect for Liu Wuyou.

They were all demon kings from the Blood Lotus Demonic Sect and the Buddhist sect, following Lin Yuemei and using Liu Wuyou.

If Liu Wuyou hadn't taken control of the Song family, they wouldn't have bothered with this tree demon.

Ten leaves swirled around Liu Wuyou, each leaf containing terrifying power.

She was also aware of the demon kings' thoughts; now it was just a game of power among themselves.

The lesser demons were fearless and all wanted to break through the city's defenses, unaware that none of the demon kings intended to breach the city at this time.

Liu Wuyou also kept the yellow-robed monsters and others by his side to prevent them from rushing forward and losing their lives.

The lesser demons charged forward, while cultivators appeared on the city walls, unleashing various techniques: flying swords, lightning, gales, and torrential rain...

Crimson blood stained the ground and flowed into a river.

Liu Wuyou immediately ordered: "Bring the corpse back; do not leave it to humans!"

These corpses could be nourishment; even if you don't need them, you could reward the surviving little demons.

Lin Yuemei and the other demon kings relayed the orders.

Seeing this scene, Liu Wuyou's killing intent intensified.

Although he was the king, the real controllers were the demon kings like Lin Yuemei.

According to the records of the Demon King's Path, many emperors were puppets, whose power was usurped by their subordinates.

My current situation is like this, or rather, it's even worse!

If it weren't for the Dragon Lord's grand plan and the considerations of the Blood Lotus Demon Sect and Buddhism, she would have already started a massacre and slaughtered all the demon kings, including Lin Yuemei.

"Flower Demon King, since I don't need to take action now, I'll conserve my energy first."

Liu Wuyou said indifferently, "For now, the Flower Demon King will take charge. He will notify me when I need to take action."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Lin Yuemei replied respectfully.

The other demon kings were very satisfied with Liu Wuyou's arrangements; this Heavenly Heart Demon King was quite sensible.

Liu Wuyou, along with the yellow-robed demons, retreated to the demon palace to rest.

"Your Majesty," the man in the yellow robe bowed respectfully, a look of worry on his face, "Your Majesty, I do not understand, why not simply breach the city?"

Liu Wuyou said calmly, "I ask you, why did we attack Tianshui City?"

"Does Your Majesty wish to expand your territory?" asked the man in the yellow robe.

"My territory is already large enough, and I am no longer able to manage it," Liu Wuyou sneered. "This attack on Tianshui City was merely an invitation from Lin Yuemei and the others to pin the blame on me."

The man in the yellow robe paused slightly, then asked, "What crime?"

"After the city falls, all living beings within will become food for the people. How could the human kingdom possibly let this go?"

Liu Wuyou sneered, "But I am the king. If they leave, they will naturally hold me accountable."

"Your Majesty, this Flower Demon King is a scoundrel. Shall we run away?" The man in the yellow robe said hastily, his expression changing. "If we hide, King Bull might return in a few years."

Liu Wuyou sighed softly: "No one knows when Niu Wendao will return. I am telling you this so that you will understand not to rush into attacking the city, lest you lose your lives."

"Yes, I understand," the man in the yellow robe replied respectfully.

Liu Wuyou waved the branch, signaling the yellow-robed men to step back.

After they left, Liu Wuyou sighed softly, "In the end, it was Niu Wendao's demon, not mine..."
