Longevity Chronicles

The cultivator from the Ten Thousand Miles Sect, covered in mouths, similarly stepped forward and said,

"Ten Thousand Miles Sect, Di Zhen."

"Like the two Daoist brothers before me, I too must inform True Master that Xiu Zhonglin of the Xiu Family and Zhuge Qingyi of the Evil Sect have long been acquainted. True Master made an appearance in New Moon Shangyang City, and these two surely found out through their own means, and are now heading this way together in the Exotic Treasure [Seven Fragrant Car]."

"Neither of these individuals is easy to deal with, especially that Zhuge Qingyi. It's rumored that True Master killed his ninth-generation disciple and beloved Shi Yingqiong. To avenge this blood feud, Zhuge Qingyi, despite a Taoist body severely injured by Duobao True Monarch, forcefully cultivated the Evil Sect's secret techniques. Although his Dao Path is cut off, his mana has subsequently doubled."

"If True Master wishes not to fight, it would indeed be wise to retreat."

Previously, some had said that Tao Qian, the first talent of the Daoist way, had offended too many strong people.

The cultivators of the Ancestor Dragon Society had some doubts about this.

But now, they could not help but believe it.

My goodness!

Each one of these individuals could be an ancient monster with years of cultivation in the Ultimate Happiness Realm.

And they're not just any Ultimate Happiness Realm cultivators; they're from major sects and even ancient families with thousands of years of history.

If a real fight broke out, they could wipe out the entire Ancestor Dragon Society without issue.

The successive warnings were already frightening enough, but what took everyone by surprise was that Star Zha, standing next to Chen Xiyi, suddenly turned his gaze in a particular direction. His golden eyes glinting with golden light, and although it was unclear what he saw, he also revealed a look of astonishment.

The ape then turned to look at Tao Qian, half in confusion and half in warning, saying,

"Well done, Spirit Treasure Daoist. You seem to be even better at stirring up trouble than I, Sun Xiaosheng."

"Not too far from here, several tens of thousands of miles away, some powerful monks with fierce auras are rushing over here, presumably coming for you."

"Oh my, the Heart Light Escape Technique!"

"It's the bald monks from the Great Freedom Temple. Brother, you better run; this is a setup for an ambush."

"Since the elder brother says you're a good one, you must be. I will hold off one of these monks for you. Although I may not beat them, creating a distraction is no problem."

After these words, the cultivators from the Ancestor Dragon Society all showed expressions of shocked and bitter smiles.

What were they to do now?

The level of the impending confrontation had escalated to something they could not possibly intervene in, no matter what.

People like Chen Xiyi, Qi Daozhen, and Lin Bujue initially wanted to speak up and convince Tao Qian to stay, to face the common enemy together.

But after hearing the prestige of these formidable opponents, they knew this route led to certain death.

Even decisive women like Shen Ruolan and Shi Yingqiong knew that the strong characters about to arrive were not something they could contend with.

Even the Beichan Temple and the Xuan Dao Sect, two major local sects of the New Moon, would not be able to withstand them.

Of course, neither sect would be willing to offend alchemists, the Taishang Demon Sect, the Evil Sect, the Great Freedom Temple, the Xiu Family, and other powers just for the sake of one Tao Qian.

It wasn't just about them all; any one of these powers, if seriously provoked, could eliminate both of their sects.

Tao Qian himself was well aware of this, and in fact, after he inadvertently revealed his location, he had anticipated this scene.

He was quite straightforward and did not dawdle.

First, he called over Yunrong, Little Age, Lian Jing'er, and Shan Jiu to enter the Holy Embryo Bag first.

These four, due to a series of coincidences, had sneaked into the Seven Evil Cave with the sole surviving disciple of the Seven Evils' true lineage from the Sunv Sect. They rescued a group of masters of the veins and thus preserved a Dao lineage for the Seven Evil Sect.

Each of them also benefited greatly, particularly Shan Jiu, whose body glowed with treasure light, not even masked by his own Wild Leek green light.

The children joyfully entered the cloth bag, but Yunrong was unwilling.

She, the charming and graceful Kitten Demon, stepped through the void with seductive strides, leaping into Tao Qian's arms.

While she uttered not a word, the effect was excellent.

At this moment, everyone understood.

Tao Master of the Spirit Treasure Sect was taken.

Tao Qian could not help but embrace Yunrong's warm, soft body and showed a rueful smile.

Then he turned around and laughed aloud to the others,

"Thank you all for the warning!"

"That these enemies would come, I had already expected and have my means to deal with them. Everyone must refrain from aiding me, so as not to implicate the Ancestor Dragon Society, and let the New Moon rebellion proceed to full fruition. Remember, I too have a share in the merit here and cannot waste it."

"Daoist Chen, Mr. Lin Daoist, Qi Daoist... It has been my fortune to meet all of you, to rally together, and to have spared these New Moon People. I wanted to stay longer to discuss governance strategies with you all and earn more merit, but now time falls short."

"But that's alright, for mountains will remain high, and rivers long; the ends of the earth are not far, and the day will come when we meet again."

"Farewell, my friends!"

"Tao Qian is off!"

Amidst his speech, Tao Qian no longer hid his intentions, lifting his hand to summon several Star Zha children.

With this significant mark of Outer Realm Heaven Demons appearing, dissolving star dust, and preparing to wrap Tao Qian away,

Just then, the five female demons, who had been holding back for a long time, finally received the word from the Devil God and together, shrieked in high-pitched voices,

"Do not go!"

"Thief, stay behind."

The voice of Yin Susu was most urgent.

The misty opening behind them suddenly began to expand to its limit, alarming everyone with the overflowing devilish energy and even starting mutations in some cases.

"A Devil God is coming?"

The cultivators all exclaimed in surprise.

Chen Xiyi, Lin Bujue, and the others couldn't restrain themselves and were about to take action against the five women.

If a Devil God were to descend at this moment, whether in avatar form or as a projection, even if they couldn't kill Tao Qian, they could at least delay him for a moment, which would be fatal for Tao Qian.

Fortunately, at that moment, Yuan Gong's advice suddenly reached Tao Qian's ears,

"Good disciple, recite the Great Brahmanic Hidden Language Infinite Sound towards the Devil God."
