The golden bracelet was taken into Lu Changsheng’s hands.
This Ultimate Treasure of the Green Ox King was excellent in both offense and defense, possessing boundless wonderful uses, and was considered a top-notch item among treasures of its level.
Lu Changsheng had the Immortal Slaying Four Swords and the Sky-Piercing Divine Fire Pillar, so he had no use for the golden bracelet, but he thought about giving it to his disciples in the future, wondering what treasures it might fetch in return.
Lu Changsheng put away the golden bracelet and continued to stimulate the Holy Fire Pillar of the Sky-Connecting Divine Artifact; 392 fire dragons rampaged, the demons howled in misery, and were refined alive by Lu Changsheng, reduced to ashes amidst the Samadhi True Fire.
The might of the Holy Artifact was capable of destroying heaven and earth.
All the demons in Unparalleled City perished.
Feeling as if his body was hollowed out, Lu Changsheng knelt on the ground.
His True Qi was exhausted, the eight Sky-Piercing Divine Fire Pillars lost their magical power, dimmed and lightless, and the 392 fire dragons disappeared, with the fire pillar itself shrinking back to three zhang tall.
“The True Qi consumed by the Holy Artifact is indeed terrifying; I was nearly depleted to death.”
Lu Changsheng’s True Qi was several times that of other cultivators of the same realm, which allowed him to just barely activate the Sky-Piercing Divine Fire Pillar.
“Who’s there?”
After dealing with the Green Ox King, Lu Changsheng discovered two cultivators suddenly appearing, one of them an old crone, and the other was a woman veiled with a face covering.
The veiled woman was none other than Liu Yiyi, the Holy Maiden from Yaochi.
What truly made Lu Changsheng uneasy was the terrifying aura of the old crone.
Her aura was even more terrifying than that of the Green Ox King.
If the old crone made a move, given Lu Changsheng’s current state, he would undoubtedly die.
Since Liu Yiyi was the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, then the old crone was very likely an Elder of Yaochi, with a cultivation level possibly reaching the realm of Daluo Golden Immortal.
“Young man, what is your background?”
The old crone did not attack.
She was somewhat wary of Lu Changsheng’s background.
A Ninth Layer Heavenly Immortal, yet capable of killing the Green Ox King, who was Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal—it was impossible for him to be an ordinary Loose Cultivator; he could very well be the Holy Son of some Holy Land, or perhaps hail from an even more dreadful place.
Such a possibility was significant.
For example, Liu Yiyi, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, had always concealed her identity and rarely made public appearances; other Holy Lands were unaware that Yaochi had produced a Holy Maiden.
By the same logic, if Lu Changsheng hailed from some low-profile Holy Land, offending Lu Changsheng would be tantamount to provoking a dispute between two Holy Lands.
Fights between Holy Lands are a blood-soaked, stormy affair, where even Daluo Golden Immortals might fall.
Seeing that the old crone imagined him to have a significant background, Lu Changsheng immediately had an idea, “No comment.”
As long as he pretended to be profound and mysterious, the other party would be apprehensive and cautious.
Sure enough, the old crone’s eyes shifted uncertainly as she couldn’t guess Lu Changsheng’s origin.
Lu Changsheng’s cultivation techniques and treasures had no apparent connection to any Holy Land.
Thus, to her, Lu Changsheng became even more enigmatic.
“It’s you?”
Dugu Aotian spotted the veiled Liu Yiyi.
Having seen her face once before, he was unable to forget it, so before Dugu Aotian, Liu Yiyi’s veil might as well be nonexistent.
Liu Yiyi unconsciously avoided Dugu Aotian’s gaze, her dao heart in turmoil as she whispered to the old crone, “Wind Granny, the Green Ox King is dead; let’s leave.”
The old crone’s eyebrows furrowed as she clearly sensed a subtle relationship between Liu Yiyi and Dugu Aotian.
The Demonic Qi emanating from Dugu Aotian made the old crone feel uneasy, and it seemed likely that he originated from the Demon Sects.
As Yaochi stood firmly against the Demon Sects, if the two of them became too close, it might enrage Yaochi.
But the old crone said nothing.
Having watched Liu Yiyi grow up from a young age, the old crone treated her as half her own daughter, unable to bring herself to reprimand her.
She left with Liu Yiyi, disappearing into the void.
“Holy Maiden, the Demonic Qi in that man is no small matter; it’s best if you have nothing to do with him, otherwise the wrath of the Holy Mother will follow, and even your parents won’t be able to protect you. I won’t speak of this to anyone; take care of yourself.”
“Wind Granny, what are you talking about? I would never have feelings for a Demon Chief. Absolutely, absolutely not.”
…
The demons of Unparalleled City were annihilated, and the two from Yaochi left. After Lu Changsheng’s True Qi had slightly recovered, he took a few disciples and headed towards Unparalleled City.
“The King has been killed!”
“Run for your lives!”
The Demon Cultivators guarding Unparalleled City heard the slightest disturbance and fled in panic, scattering like birds and beasts.
With the Green Ox King, their biggest backer, dead, they did not flee; they too would be annihilated.
The human cultivators of Unparalleled City were clueless.
Why had all the Great Demons ruling Unparalleled City fled?
“The Green Ox King has been slain by me; all the Elders of the original Sects of Unparalleled City are to gather at the City Lord’s Mansion.”
Lu Changsheng’s voice boomed like thunderous claps, echoing throughout the entire city.
“The Green Ox King has truly been killed?”
“Do we have a chance to regain our freedom?”
The cultivators of Unparalleled City who had been enslaved for thousands of years were dumbfounded upon hearing Lu Changsheng’s words, hardly daring to believe them.
The Green Ox King who had ruled Unparalleled City was dead!
“The demons have fled in terror; it must be true; the Green Ox King is really dead.”
“Let’s go, to the City Lord’s Mansion.”
The Elders of the Sect in Unparalleled City exchanged glances and flew on their swords toward the City Lord’s Mansion.
In the City Lord’s Mansion, Lu Changsheng looted the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and treasures that the Green Ox King had hoarded there.
There were at least ten million Immortal Stones. Find more to read at M-V-L
There were also tens of thousands of rare Yan Stones suitable for Refining.
The Green Ox King had an enormous stash.
“Aotian, I bestow this batch of Yan Stones to you.”
Dugu Aotian had the talent of a Refinement Grandmaster, so the materials for Refining were mainly bestowed to him by Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng was also eager to see what treasures would be returned by the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator in exchange for the bestowed Yan Stones.
