Chapter 391
391 Code name Liu Guanzhang
“It’s like this, Yingluo.”
The three demon kings squatted in a row and looked at each other. The eldest Lion camel King looked at the second treasure Elephant King, and the second treasure Elephant King looked at the third Black Condor King.
He decided to let the black Condor King tell the story.
Although he was afraid of dealing with the little Daoist, he still had to bite the bullet and speak.
It couldn’t be helped, it was the smallest one.
Li Chu did not care and just listened quietly.
The universal Palace.
It was a mysterious and powerful force that had existed in the Golden State for thousands of years.
Very few monsters knew where it came from. They only knew that the palace had suddenly appeared on a mountain, and the monster King and his subordinates on the mountain had all disappeared.
In the following two thousand years, many surrounding forces wanted to Annex it, but all of them returned in failure. No one knew what kind of heritage was hidden in this Palace. But no matter what level of Demon King they were, there seemed to be stronger existences in the universal Palace.
Gradually, the universal Palace gained a firm foothold in the Golden State and became a great power second to none. However, his disciples were still extremely mysterious. All of them were mysterious emissaries in black robes and masks.
Other than knowing that the master of the universal Palace was called the king of ages, he knew almost nothing more about it. However, no one had ever seen it fight in person. Even if they went to the universal Palace, they could not find the location of the myriad King.
Fortunately, no one dared to provoke it, and it rarely provoked others.
However, a few days ago, a mysterious Messenger from the universal Palace came to discuss an important matter with King treasure elephant and King Black Condor.
An Alliance.
The messenger did not specify the reason for the Alliance. He only said that there might be a big move in the future and that he could help the Three Kings Ridge solve their problem to show his sincerity.
The biggest problem in the Three Kings Ridge was the lion camel King that was locked up in the iron cage.
After the messenger agreed to the request, he managed to rescue the lion camel King within a month. Moreover, there was no news of anyone breaking into the cell, so he didn’t know what kind of magical method they used.
As for letting the yellow-spotted tiger release the miasma in the mountain, it was just a small interlude. The three monster Kings did not know the purpose of the envoy. However, since he had helped to save his big brother, he would let him do this small thing.
If they had known that such a small matter would attract the little Daoist over, the three demon kings would have definitely broken the Messenger’s arms and legs and not let him do such a stupid thing.
After saying that, the black Condor King felt wronged.
“Little Daoist, actually, we’ve almost given up after we failed the prison break with Lord Cang hai. It was the people from the universal Palace who brought up this matter again and even sent my big brother back. To our Three Kings Ridge, this is truly an undeserved disaster. Even if you want to punish us, the most you can do is send my big brother back.”
“What are you farting about, kid?”
This kind of righteous speech provoked the lion camel King, who was standing behind him, to kick the black Condor King to the ground.
Then, it looked at Li Chu pitifully. little Daoist priest Li, I performed well during my sentence. You’ve seen it yourself. Now that I’ve returned to the Golden State, I’ve already made up my mind to never enter the Heluo dynasty’s territory again. Just treat me like a fart and let me go, alright?”
Li Chu frowned as he looked at the three demon kings. He was also thinking about how to deal with them.
The demon kings in the Golden State had very little chance of harming humans. The countless corpses in the cave also belonged to other demons. The fact that the lion camel King was locked up in the iron prison instead of being executed meant that he didn’t commit a capital crime.
To be fair, the best way was to pack up the three demon kings and send them all to prison.
However, that would waste a lot of time, and he still had urgent matters to attend to.
Just as he muttered to himself, he heard a voice behind him, ” “Little Daoist, I have something to say.”
Li Chu turned around and saw the two old miracle doctors walking towards him, deep in thought.
The thin old man in white was the elder of the school, the core of the town.
The chubby elder in a flowery robe was the old man who hung pots, the master of the hanging pot Manor and the master of the young Divine Doctor.
Li Chu was naturally polite to the two of them and asked, ” “How do you two divine doctors want to deal with these monsters?”
“These three demon kings are awesome!” Changchun peak stroked his beard and smiled.”I suggest that we don’t punish him.”
“Don’t deal with it?”
“Yes, I am.” The two miracle doctors nodded in unison.
Li Chu was not surprised. He looked at them, thinking that there must be a reason for this.
Then, he heard the old man of hanging pot say, ” “In fact, we had a plan since we started looking for the treasure bag in the Dragon-ending mountain. We’ve been in the pugilistic world for many years. Although our cultivation is not good, we shouldn’t walk into a trap like this. I really have an urgent matter to attend to, so I have no choice but to do this.”
Li Chu nodded. He had been wondering about this before.
The eternal spring elder sighed and slowly said,”I have to start from my poor disciple.”
This disciple was naturally the doctor Who had passed away at the bottom of the Dragon-ending mountain, Chen xingjin. Li Chu had heard about him from the town’s langyu before he came.
And what the eternal spring elder said was even more shocking.
“When he told me that the patient looked like an old woman and was pregnant, it actually caused a great stir in my heart. Because Yingluo ”
“I’ve read something in an ancient book of the universe dynasty in my early years.” It’s a remnant of the court’s medical records, and it’s recorded that the emperors of the Yu dynasty had ordered the Imperial physicians to carry out a heaven-defying experiment with the goal of refining the immortality medicine.”
Immortal medicine?
This wasn’t the first time Li Chu had heard of this term, but langyuguan had never mentioned anything about the Yu dynasty’s medical code.
The Yu dynasty was an ancient dynasty from 3000 years ago and had occupied the world for almost 1000 years before it was overthrown by the previous dynasty. The previous dynasty lasted for another thousand years before falling apart. After a series of twists and turns, Heluo was finally crowned.
To the people of the Heluo dynasty, Yu dynasty was an ancient word that would only appear in the history books.
Even for demons, there were not many that could live for more than two thousand years.
although it’s only an incomplete piece, and the records are incomplete, the experimental process mentioned above is simply against the laws of heaven and completely inhumane! “That’s why I immediately burned it after I read it, in case someone else gets it and does something evil again,” the eternal spring elder said angrily.
“The eternal spring elder did the right thing. If word of this gets out, perhaps some of the powerful people will want to live forever.” The old man with the hanging pot also sighed, ” he only mentioned this to me later on. As for the incomplete formula and the experimental process, I didn’t ask about it at all. I thought that this thing had completely disappeared from the world.
“But who knew that Xuanji,” eternal spring elder continued, when Chen xingjin returned to Yaowang town, the patient he mentioned was actually very similar to one of the steps in the production process of the legendary medicine of immortality.
His eyebrows twitched slightly, as if he couldn’t bear to say anymore.
Li Chu had a vague guess.
The heavenly Dao was just, and mortals had a limited lifespan. If one wanted to increase a person’s lifespan by force, they might have to use some means to steal the lifespan of others. And this method would definitely be complicated and cruel.
“I suspected that the Xuanji of the universe dynasty had already developed the medicine of immortality.” The eternal spring elder’s gaze was heavy. that’s why I asked xingjin to detoxify the poison, but I don’t want any payment. I want to avoid any conflict with those people as long as I don’t make them my enemies.
“After that, I sent a letter to old man Xuanhu to discuss this matter with him. I didn’t think that news of Chen xingjin’s death would have already reached us before he arrived.”
“The repeated appearances of the seven Deadly heavenly demons have made this matter even more complicated.” “After discussing with the old man Xuanhu, we feel that if there’s someone in the world who has relied on the immortal medicine to live to this day, they must have hidden it very well since no one has discovered it for so many years,” the eternal spring elder continued. You won’t be able to find it if you investigate it later.”
“But if this thing is left in the human world, it will be a disaster sooner or later.” in the end, we decided to go to the Dragon-ceasing mountain together, ” the old man of the hanging flask said. we’ll risk our lives and go there ourselves. Maybe we can find some clues.
“We found the miasma in the Dragon-jueling mountain and found that the method to make this miasma is extremely sinister and ancient. The inheritance is also from the Yu dynasty, and it is likely to be inextricably linked to the immortal medicine. Hence, we used this as a clue and found our way to the Golden State.”
“Although we were caught, we have some tricks up our sleeves to ensure our own safety. The reason why I’m here in peace is because I want to investigate some things.”
“The pill that the three demon kings asked us to refine is also a pill recipe from the Yu dynasty’s imperial court. This has deepened our suspicions,” the eternal spring elder continued.
the palace of the universe, ” Li Chu said thoughtfully. could it be related to this? ”
“It’s very likely.” “If the eternal King is really a figure from the Yu dynasty, then he’s truly terrifying,” the Deputy Chief of Changchun said.
“Yup,” Li Chu agreed.
The heavens were fair.
The cultivation and learning speed of demons were very slow, but their lifespans were very long.
Humans learned and cultivated quickly, but their lifespans were extremely short.
Therefore, this world was balanced.
However, if there was a human who had the same lifespan as a demon … Then, after all these years, how much progress would he have made?
No one dared to imagine it.
But it was definitely a heaven-defying existence.
What was even more terrifying was that this heaven-defying existence was extremely mysterious, and almost no one could find its location.
“Of course, this is just a guess.” “However, there’s one thing I’m sure of,” the eternal spring elder said,”whether he’s a human or a demon, he’s definitely not a good person. It definitely didn’t form an alliance with the demons of the Golden State out of good intentions.”
“That’s true.” Li Chu glanced at the three demon monarchs who were pulling his ears.
The three monster Kings immediately lowered their heads to show that they didn’t have any bad intentions.
“So I suggest that if it’s possible, little Daoist priest li, it’s best not to kill these three demon kings first, so as not to alert the enemy.” why don’t we get them to go undercover? ” the eternal spring elder advised.
“Undercover?”
Li Chu and the three demon kings were listening attentively.
that’s right. Order them to continue their alliance with the palace of universe and secretly investigate the secret between the palace and the myriad King to see what kind of conspiracy they are plotting, ” Changchun said.
“I can concoct some strange poisons that even monster Kings can’t escape from. As long as they consume it, there’s no one in the world who can concoct the antidote except me. When the time came, if they were obedient, they would be given a certain antidote regularly. If you have the intention to rebel, you will die without a doubt.”
The old man’s eyes glinted coldly as he finished his last sentence, showing that he wasn’t a soft-hearted person.
As the person who was the best at using poison and the best at detoxifying in the world, he also had enough capital to say such words.
The three monster Kings shuddered.
At the same time, he thought to himself,’this old man is really bad.’
“That’s fine.” Li Chu agreed and turned to the three demon kings. He asked politely, ” “Then I may have to trouble the three of you, what do you think? Are you willing to help?”
The lion camel King, treasure Elephant King, and black Condor King looked at each other. They were naturally unwilling.
Who would be willing to take fatal poison and become a spy under someone’s manipulation?
Li Chu nodded understandingly when he saw their troubled expressions. “It’s normal for the three of you to be unwilling. After all, this kind of thing is very risky, and it’s your freedom to refuse. Since that’s the case, time is of the essence. I can only kill the three of you.”
“Wait, wait, wait, wait, Yingluo.”
Upon hearing this, the three monster Kings jumped up in panic.
no! the lion camel King quickly shouted. who’s not willing? I’m clearly Wufu! I’ve been blinded by happy! Little Daoist priest Li, you might not know this, but when I was born, a Daoist priest told my fortune and said that I was born to be a spy! It’s been so many years, and I only found out today that I’ve been waiting for this mission in my life.”
“Yes, yes.” of course! treasure Elephant King nodded his head like he was pounding garlic. our family’s ancestors were all spies for eight generations. We’ve been spies since ancient times! I’ve never been a spy in my generation, and I’ve always felt that I’m a disgrace to the family!”
“To tell you the truth, I used to be a spy sent by another Monster King.” The black Condor King also spoke without thinking.
“Eh?”
The lion camel King and the treasure Elephant King looked at him strangely.
“I didn’t ask you guys to destroy the mountain when I became a Demon King.” The black Condor King scratched his head and stammered,”I didn’t mention Qianqian again.””I didn’t have a choice in the past, but after that, I just want to be a good demon.”
The eternal spring elder ignored their enmity and took out a small bottle, pouring out three black pills.
“Come, please take this nine Poison River clear pill.”
He handed it to her with a smile.
“Don’t think that this poison pill is small, but you must take one antidote on every full moon’s night, and take it twelve times in a row before it can be completely cured. This way, everyone can be at ease.”
The lion camel King swallowed and asked, ” “What if you stop taking the antidote for a month?”
“Don’t worry, this old man is a Doctor Who saves people, not a cruel devil.”
The eternal spring elder consoled the three monster Kings.
“You won’t die immediately even if you stop taking the antidote for a month. It was just that his body and soul were slowly being corroded from the inside out. Three days for internal bleeding, five days for suppuration, seven days for softened limbs, and ten days for paralysis. But don’t worry, you won’t die, and you won’t feel any pain, because your divine souls have already become numb. It’s just that when I relieve myself every day, I feel the fragments of my heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney being discharged out of my body.”
“This will last for an entire month, and you will become an empty shell. Only then will your souls realize that you are already dead. After that, you’ll roll around in intense pain for three days, and you’ll be able to rest in peace.”
Looking at the kind-looking old man, the three monster Kings ‘eyes widened.
He even began to wonder if it would be better to just die.
The black Condor King frowned, showing signs of resistance. He said angrily, ” “Big brother! Are we really going to take this medicine? I would rather die in battle!”
“It’s not impossible, Zhenzhen.”
Without waiting for the lion camel King to speak, Li Chu took out the pure yang sword.
After hearing elder Chang Chun’s description, he felt that the medicine was too inhumane. It was not as good as his pure yang sword, which did not even hurt or itch.
“Eat!”
When the lion camel King saw Li Chu pulling out his sword, a terrifying memory surfaced in his mind. Thus, he immediately raised his head and swallowed the poison pill. Seeing that the lion camel King had taken the lead, treasure Elephant King and black Condor King had no choice but to follow suit.
“Very good. Thank you for your help.” Li Chu nodded.
The three monster Kings grinned at the same time. They seemed to want to laugh, but their eyes were full of tears. When combined together, they formed a rather ” righteous ” expression.
After some thought, Li Chu took out three more bells.
After discovering the use of the follow talisman, he had prepared a few before he left for the trip. He didn’t expect it to be useful.
“The three of you, please wear one each and don’t take it off at any time. I can see every move of these three. Furthermore, as long as I have this Bell, I can rush over at any time when necessary. Even if I can’t, my sword can. This way, it’ll also be a form of protection for the three of you.”
Li Chu warned.
“Got it, hehe.” The three monster Kings nodded like chicks pecking at rice.
What a reassuring ‘protection’, huh?
“Don’t worry, little Daoist priest li!” At this point, the lion camel King could only loudly express his loyalty, ” the three of us brothers will do our best to complete the mission!
Li Chu’s expression was also solemn. then this important task will be handed over to the three of you. I will be in direct contact with the three of you. From now on, the three of you will be in the same boat.”
