Chapter 1590 - 1111: Inviting the Honorable One to Die_2

Chapter 1590: Chapter 1111: Inviting the Honorable One to Die_2

The dialogue box of Lord Mist Dragon in his vision shook, he had to pause temporarily, and his mind connected the conversation. Mist Dragon’s chubby white face appeared before him, "Reporting good news to Mr. Xiang!

According to the roster provided by Daoist Du, I can confirm with certainty—All the City Lords and the Commerce Association executives who once belonged to the Demon Realm Alliance, except for a few City Lords, have joined the Immortal Alliance unconditionally.

The Immortal Leader, who used to be an ignored Array Master, is now overwhelmed with compliments, flattery, and gifts, thinking only about how to rebuild the Demon Beast Teleportation Array and consolidate the Immortal Alliance’s position, leaving him no time to attend to anything else.

To put it bluntly, every member of the Immortal Alliance is now under my control. Our net collection plan has been a great success; we only wait for Mr. Xiang’s command to capture them all in one fell swoop!"

Indeed, it’s good news.

Jiang Yuan hadn’t even had time to respond when a new prompt appeared in his vision—

[Side Quest: Gambling God Returns]

[Task 3: Within three days, let Mist Dragon meet his demise. Reward: Building Materials Gift Pack +1]

Him: ???

The sudden task leaves me at a loss for words.

"Have you looked through the Mirror of Evil? Are you sure they are all villains?"

"Checked each one when recruiting. Some Array Masters and Artifact Refiners still seem decent, but none of the Commerce Association members are good!" Mist Dragon’s heart burned with gossip when this topic came up, yearning to describe the oddities he’d seen in the Mirror of Evil, "You didn’t see for yourself, but really... Tsk tsk, I dare say that even the Little Evil Cultivators aren’t as vicious as them!

Have you heard of the ’Comb Punishment’?

Most of my memories are lost after reincarnation, but such a harsh punishment could only exist in the Eighteen Layers of Hell! Using sharp iron combs to comb through the skin, with densely packed wounds being drenched in honey, attracting ants to nibble, flies to lay eggs..."

Jiang Yuan twitched the corner of his eye, hurriedly stopping him, "No need to describe further. Initiate the net collection action now. Gather and confine the confirmed treacherous villains in Qihan Mountain, where I’ll have Du Li and Lan Shanying take the Seven-Layered Glazed Treasure Tower there for a visit.

As they are traitors of the Demon Realm Alliance, it’s most apt to have those two handle them. You must remind them to leave some alive for me; I still have use for them."

"Alright! You can be assured, sir!" Mist Dragon replied with a smiling demeanor, and then noticed behind Jiang Yuan the sky in the backdrop, torn open by blood-red lightning.

Memories buried deep in his mind were suddenly dredged up.

This scene seemed very familiar, could it be... the Underworld?!

It’s known that the Netherworld Capital had long become a legend, with the Land of Reincarnation now the Netherworld Fengdu. Rumors even claim that during the God-Demon War, an Outer Heaven Demon entered the Underworld, suppressed by joint efforts of Ghost Immortals, hence the Underworld’s seal.

Is Mr. Jiang heading to the Underworld to slay demons and monsters?

Mist Dragon’s heart abruptly leaped with excitement—if the Underworld could see daylight again, wouldn’t there be hope for me as the former Ghost God to return to position!

"There’s one more thing you should prepare mentally for," Jiang Yuan observed the three-day countdown, choosing his words carefully: "Regarding the Gambling God’s return, what thoughts does Lord Mist Dragon have?"

The other’s smiling eyes suddenly widened, "Sir, does that mean... when the time comes, I can transform from a Demon Cultivator to a Ghost Cultivator?"

"Why else would I give you the Life Origin before? It’s to ensure that your essence doesn’t dissipate upon death, so you can transform into a Ghost Cultivator then, and start anew." He paused a moment, then lowered his voice, "Quickly handle matters at Qihan Mountain, during these two days, when the time, place, and people are in harmony, success will be at hand."

"Thank you for your strong support, sir!" Mist Dragon was both excited and nervous, his voice trembling with excitement.

A surge of goodwill skyrocketed.

Yan Xuan, who brought a plate of spicy fried conch, leisurely sucked the conch meat while congratulating, "Tsk, the master is indeed meticulous, all accounts for your future have been arranged, the Gambling God’s return is within reach, congratulations, congratulations!"

"Hehe, thanks for your kind words!" Shocked by the huge surprise, Mist Dragon was slightly dazed, only realizing afterward, "Dying but not having one’s essence dissipate, does this mean I must die once?"

Even ants cling to life; a respected cultivator living harmoniously for years now facing voluntary death brings him some unease.

Yan Xuan slurped a conch, smacking his lips, "Xiao Bai died once, yet still lives exuberantly now? The master even exchanged his spirit root for top grade dual spirit roots! With the master personally steering for you, why fear? If you doubt, ask Xiao Bai, he died miserably, yet showed no fear."

"Did Senior Bai, Daoist Bai Yunqi, die?" Mist Dragon immediately perked up, eager to know more, "Can you elaborate, what exactly happened?"

"Xiao Bai, oh! He’s by the Spirit Pool, let him tell you himself."

Bai Yunqi was called by Yan Xuan; when asked about dying once, he was calm and candid, "Since it’s arranged by the master, face death without worry, no need for apprehensions.

As for how to die, I only died once, and my experience isn’t that comprehensive.

Yun Mo also asked this question; he wants to die once for top-grade dual spirit roots but fears death. My suggestion is this: complete what you need to do, then find two evenly matched opponents, and have a mortal duel with them.

Every cultivator has passion, dying in battle, whether due to an explosive demise from being cornered or being slain due to inferior skills, at least you can gather invaluable combat experience, better than seeking fatal shortcuts."

Stimulated by this suggestion, Mist Dragon’s eyes lit up, "Daoist Bai truly remarkable! I will gather the Immortal Alliance members, have Daoist Du and Daoist Lan do the harvesting. Finish the matters at hand, I’m off to avenge old grievances!

Back in the Wilderness, I faced disrespect from quite a few major sects, heh, a gentleman’s revenge is never too late! Thanks for your guidance, I’m off now!"

Thinking of the chance for swift righteous vengeance, even facing death with reprieve, he felt revived with excitement.

Hehe, even if I can’t fight back, I will self-detonate and take a few with me! You wretches who slandered and humiliated me back then, tremble!

Acting on it right away, that evening Mist Dragon found an excuse to discuss the allocation task of array materials for the Demon Beast Teleportation Array reconstruction, summoning all Immortal Alliance members to Qihan Mountain.

Du Li and Lan Shanying, both altering their appearance and restraining their aura, entered through a backdoor.

"Vice Immortal Leader suggesting discussing task allocations, what’s the meaning? The Immortal Alliance hasn’t constructed many teleportation arrays recently, are array materials short?"

"Yes, our Stone Spring City teleportation array is intact, yet now tasked with allocations, seems unfair."

"Actually, this matter does need proper discussion, many teleportation arrays have been destroyed, awaiting reconstruction. But many city areas lack enough array materials on hand, why not share and find mutual solutions together."

"If lacking, simply spend money to buy more! Isn’t that straightforward? Can’t expect others to spoon-feed you!"

"Back when Demon Realm Alliance built teleportation arrays, our cities didn’t contribute anything. How come with the Immortal Alliance, not only bearing all reconstruction costs, but even Array Masters must provide substantial tributes, isn’t this disparity too great..."

...

Bound by the teleportation arrays, Immortal Alliance members dare not be lazy.

Thousands of Demon Cultivators swarmed into Qihan Mountain, each voicing their opinions loudly.

Mist Dragon appeared smiling from a stone platform at the highest point, gesturing in the void for silence, thinking this excuse worked perfectly, each afraid of losing, none shirking, coming together!

"Everyone, please calm down." He spoke leisurely, still carrying his signature smile, "Our reunion in the Immortal Alliance is mainly due to the Demon Beast Teleportation Arrays.

I hear many Daoists expressing dissatisfaction, and it’s understandable. After all, the Demon Realm Alliance took full charge of building the teleportation arrays back then, but consider, who profited from the commerce operations?

Presently, the Immortal Alliance doesn’t levy extra Spirit Stones from cities!

The Demon Realm Alliance’s headquarters’ private treasury is controlled by Du Li, and we’re starting from scratch; even if we want to support, we lack the means. Consider, isn’t that the case?"

Those Demon Cultivators hoping to stir trouble for their benefit fell silent.

Unlike the past, cities now integrate with commerce, benefits staying in their hands without tribute needed; the Immortal Alliance’s lack of funds makes sense. Without those Array Masters seamlessly connecting and building identical Demon Beast Teleportation Arrays, who cares to listen to their orders?

Mist Dragon, adhering to his prepared speech, dragged on time slowly, secretly isolating groups of Demon Cultivators with the mountain body soundlessly.

Du Li then used the Seven-Layered Exquisite Pagoda to collect all these traitors.

Jiang Yuan’s duplicate number 8 waited early among them to absorb lifespan, then threw them into a temporarily opened small space.
