Chapter 1181: Chapter 263: Responses from All Sides

Xirong Manor.

Ning Zheng controlled the Shadow Crocodile Giant God, left the battlefield’s isolated shield area, and tossed back the two Immortal Venerable Supreme Treasures obtained through space turbulence.

Ning Zheng reached out into the void to grab the two Immortal Venerable Supreme Treasures and studied them carefully.

One was the Yang Corner Pot, a dignified Yang Attribute attack, specifically countering all evil spirits and shadow-type divine techniques.

Although it’s not important for Ning Zheng, who plays with shadow armies, the Netherworld doesn’t have this thing, making it crucial for Ning Zheng!

The other was the Swallowing Water Zhongluan Mountain.

This thing was actually made from part of the body of an Immortal Venerate from the Zhongluan Civilization who fell in the last two-realm war.

Only two Law Avatars of that Immortal Venerate, the lowest level kind, remain.

"No wonder she gave it so straightforwardly, this thing, with its surging waters and Water World Maze, is practically a useless object."

"It would also damage my relationship with the Immortal Realm."

Ning Zheng thought for a moment, turned her head, and said: "Clear out any possible hidden tricks inside."

Jiumu Qing nodded, somewhat excited: "I understand, thank you, Manor Master!"

She looked at the two Immortal Venerable Supreme Treasures, so astonished she almost jumped up.

These Immortal Venerable Supreme Treasures were crafted with countless efforts and materials, yet now were snatched with such ease!

The battlefield felt like a walk in the park; others gave ample respect. This Xirong will indeed be extraordinary in the future!

Beside her, Su Yuniang of Sun Moon had a half-smile, "Do you now think that our Xirong Manor Master is qualified to be your master?"

The second Jiumu Qing also lowered her head arrogantly, heartfelt submission, awe like a deity, "I yield."

Ning Zheng ignored her.

At this moment, emotions burst forth, filled with gratitude, feeling that she had avenged her and slapped the rival’s face hard.

But it was just an emotional surge.

Later, she might revert to that scheming nature behind the scenes.

Wildness hard to change, ambition difficult to tame.

This is Jiumu Qing.

Or rather, any Immortal Venerate is like this, having traversed corpses and seas of blood across realms to stand at the summit, who would stay long below others? Only the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain can bring people together as friends.

"Go ahead! The Nether Cauldron and you share the same origin; hopefully, you can use her things too. Next time, I hope you become stronger in action."

Ning Zheng revealed a contemplative expression, waved, and let Jiumu Qing leave with the two Immortal Venerable Supreme Treasures.

This was a great harvest.

Ning Zheng hadn’t anticipated it would be this smooth.

I kept provoking their limits.

But the Nether Cauldron Immortal Venerate’s endurance was exceptionally high, never choosing to intervene directly.

If she had acted in person, it would have completely ignited the decisive battle, triggering a chain reaction, with both sides’ Immortal Venerates clashing together.

Even...

During combat, she didn’t unleash her full power, clearly holding back.

"Although my Shadow Crocodile Giant God is only at the level of a normal Immortal Venerate’s standard, without the Immortal Treasure weapon’s Blank Attribute Immortal Venerate..."

"We didn’t enjoy the fight; after a few moves, we called it off."

Ning Zheng contemplated.

Although my Shadow Crocodile Immortal Venerate is of the Poison Stream type, lacking burst capability, primarily emphasizing endurance and strong undying traits!

All-out combat, fighting for seven or eight days poses no issue!

However, only a few minutes were fought.

"She seems to be hiding something."

Ning Zheng couldn’t help but suspect that the Netherworld had special plans for this attack on the Immortal Realm.

To ensure the progress of their plan and prevent any possible variables, even sacrificing an Immortal Venerable Supreme Treasure, they allowed Ning Zheng to leave.

After all, the Shadow Crocodile, this durable king, occupying the field and continuously battling, might disrupt their plans.

The Nether Cauldron Immortal Venerate has a high tolerance.

But the greater the tolerance, the more insidious this viper is.

Currently lying low, once a particular plan is completed, probably will be the time to settle accounts with Xirong.

"So many wars, could the Immortal Realm be on the brink of invasion this time?" Still pondering this possibility, Ning Zheng thought.

"Enough, rest for a few days, organize the form of this Shadow Crocodile Immortal Venerate."

"I’m still too weak! The combat power of the Shadow Crocodile Immortal Venerate, at most, is comparable to a normal Immortal Venerate, I lack a new Jiumu Qing."

Ning Zheng’s eyes slightly flickered.

The war has just begun.

It would be best to kill the Nether Cauldron Immortal Venerate in this battle, given the chance to plot against her.

Just then.

Suddenly, a message came through, someone on the previous bounty list brought a new Jiumu Qing to exchange for resources.

"So coincidental?"

Ning Zheng flashed a small smile: "Did I slap the Netherworld’s face and this is the goodwill of the Immortal Realm’s Immortal Venerates?"

At once, Ning Zheng summoned the smiths, starting to awaken the second Jiumu Qing, using the previous awakening NPC to walk through the mind journey again.

Having experienced once, as long as they simulate the layout, following the previous path is sufficient!

...

Netherworld.

In the sky above the battlefield, a manor on the soaring continent was wrapped by countless golden maple leaves.

Inside the manor, several Immortal Venerates were sitting together.

Each maple leaf was crystal clear, flickering with scenes from various battlefields.

Outside of the Immortal Venerates, within the strategic department responsible for coordination, countless strategic members were fiercely and busily discussing, repeatedly observing the entire route of the Shadow Crocodile Immortal Venerate’s combat.

Moreover, the morale in the Netherworld was low, and they had to find a way to deal with the overwhelming information and counter the public opinion warfare from the Immortal Realm.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think the true extent of the Xirong Manor Master’s body has reached?"

The Nether Wood Immortal Venerate glanced around and spoke.

In the ancient sects, descendants of the prehistoric Wood Attribute Lunmu Immortal Venerable have now split into two major lineages.

One became Zhongluan, and the other became Nether Wood.

But the Nether Wood lineage, in the later generations, modified and mutated their divine techniques, deviating down a sinister path, resulting in their direct combat power being inferior to Zhongluan, thus their reputation wasn’t very great.

"This Shadow Crocodile Divine Power is probably just one of his ten divine powers, distributed and accumulated, possessing the might of the Ten-Perfection Immortal Venerate’s true body. Though it is still an avatar, it is already impressive enough."

The Nether River Immortal Venerate beside him replied.

"That person’s divine power pedigree must be constructed around the core divine power of Shadow Crocodile. We need Yang Attribute divine techniques to better restrain them, but the Yang Corner Pot has fallen into their hands, putting us at a severe disadvantage."

An Immortal Venerate nearby couldn’t help but speak out.

"Let him take it if he wants to."

The Holy Nether Immortal Venerate gently plucked a falling golden maple leaf and said faintly, "Impatience in small matters ruins great plans. This is the crucial moment."

The Nether Cauldron Immortal Venerate was apparently still angry: "But..."

She originally didn’t want to relent, and if it wasn’t for the surrounding Immortal Venerates urging her to keep the peace, she would have exploded earlier!

How could she swallow her pride?

But this group of Immortal Venerates asked her to endure, as if it wasn’t their own shame to bear or losses to suffer?

If it weren’t for her true body being deficient, missing a law avatar, how could she listen to these Immortal Venerates’ threats?

She would truly have gone down to fight the opponent, even if she were to become the target of the first wave of attacks from the Immortal Realm. Surrounded by a dozen Immortal Venerable Supreme Treasures, borrowing and relaxing force, she could still ensure her survival.

"This whole matter is all your fault."

Chaotic Yellow Immortal Venerate interrupted the Nether Cauldron Immortal Venerate’s voice:

"Originally, our plan was to just slightly hinder, and if we couldn’t stop, just let them go. After all, it’s just some resources. But you first broke the bottom line by using the Immortal Venerable Supreme Treasure."

It was originally a small matter of interception, escalated step by step by the Nether Cauldron Immortal Venerate.

She was the one who voluntarily stepped forward to intercept. If she had acted impartially, it would have been fine, but she mixed personal feelings into it, wanting to target...

In the eyes of all the Immortal Venerates, she brought this upon herself.

It might even affect their plans, being seen through by the neighboring Immortal Realm Immortal Venerates, igniting the flames.

"No, I’m afraid we’ve already been seen through."

The Holy Nether Immortal Venerate coldly said.

"Are they suspicious?" Chaotic Yellow Immortal Venerate frowned.

The Holy Nether Immortal Venerate replied, "Their strong luck caused fate to shift to their side, revealing flaws in our once seamless plan ahead of time."

"Their destiny is ultimately stronger than ours. Against all calculations, they possess the powerful ability to turn misfortune into fortune."

"Their strong luck helped Xirong Manor Master to see our flaws and prepare in advance against us."

"No, it’s the strong luck advancing from both directions! The destinies of both sides mutually benefiting, forming an even greater destiny.

The Immortal Venerates of the Immortal Realm, in the recent battle, unknowingly stood by Xirong, bearing the pressure on the battlefield, unintentionally intimidating our other Immortal Venerates.

And Xirong, in turn, unknowingly caused us to reveal some flaws to the Immortal Realm Immortal Venerates."

The crowd continually discussed.

They believed there was no cooperation between Xirong and the Immortal Realm.

But the strong luck of both sides, mysteriously attracted to each other, "cooperated" and mutually benefited, which led to today’s battle.

In their eyes, no matter what happens, it wasn’t as important as the major task they were about to undertake!

They wanted to completely overthrow the entire Immortal Realm, to change the heavens and the earth, letting all heavens and myriad realms have a true owner!

And capturing the Immortal Realm, becoming the masters of this land, was just the start of their plan.

Once the Immortal Realm was extinguished, and they controlled the world, it all came under their jurisdiction.

How could little Xirong escape?

Collaboratively divining, post-battle reckoning was extremely simple.

Moreover, although they didn’t know the true form of their opponent.

That Shadow Crocodile Giant God’s power was nothing more than that of an average individual Immortal Venerate!

"However, the Xirong Manor Master’s luck is indeed astonishing, as if assisted by the heavens!"

"The strong luck between the Netherworld, the Immortal Realm, and Xirong, working on various aspects to compromise and interact, allowed him to escape right under the eyes of our numerous Netherworld Immortal Venerates."

...

The battlefield on both sides of the Immortal Realm continued to erupt and advance.

The situation grew increasingly fierce.

It had already transitioned from skirmishes on the outskirts of the city to siege warfare.

A myriad of cultivators were using various siege engines, continuously attacking the city walls, with over a hundred sections stained by blood and corpses, turned scarlet.

Smoke rose everywhere, with firelight explosions, screams, and roars, seemingly ongoing in an unprecedentedly brutal battle.

After Ning Zheng left, they seemed to have returned to a normal war process.

"Go on, head to the front lines once more. I dare these players to stop me this time."

Ning Zheng, on this side, began the dispatch of the ten fleets, back to the battlefield.

This time.

Ning Zheng didn’t even pretend, they simply plundered the bodies from the Netherworld.

Strangely, the Netherworld side still endured, ignoring Ning Zheng’s actions.

With such free and easy prey, Ning Zheng took large bites.

Who cares about any conspiracy? Resources in hand are real resources!
