Chapter 392: 317 This Idea is a Bit Scary_2
Upon this realization, everyone couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
Seeing this, Lei Daman smiled in satisfaction. His piece of news had shocked them to such an extent; how fulfilling!
Li Cheng also looked at Lei Da admiringly and raised his wine pot, “Here’s one!”
“Right, let’s all take one!” A few others echoed in agreement.
“Brother, what may I call you? With such information, you must come from an impressive background!” Lei Da asked after taking a few hearty sips.
Li Cheng shrugged, “I go by Yun Tianqiong. Brother Lei, why do you think that senior of mine didn’t tell me about Li Cheng’s concoction of fourth and fifth level Divine Pills?”
Lei Da pondered, stroking his chin, and slowly said, “It’s normal to hold back some information. The more you say, the easier it is to expose yourself.”
“That’s also true. My senior is only a Divine King, so he really should be cautious,” Li Cheng casually lied.
A smug look reappeared on Lei Da’s face, “I see. So, since my senior of the Divine Emperor level does not need to be too cautious, heh heh, come on, let’s take one!”
Li Cheng took a swig, it seems that after he returns, he would have to ask Blunt Empty Venerable to thoroughly investigate those Pill Masters. Heaven knows how many from the Demon Race had infiltrated.
Moreover, after returning, if a Pill Master at the Divine Emperor Realm wanted to see him, he would definitely have Dan Chi and Dan Zui bring them along. Otherwise, relying on himself alone, if the visitor turned out to be an infiltrator, he feared he might not be able to cope.
“It’s beyond imagination! If such a powerful Pill Master could join us, that would be our fortune!” one person said with anticipation.
Li Cheng took over the conversation, “Exactly, I’m sure those Demon Lords above have the same thought, hence the relentless attack on the Fu City of Land Puppet Mansion.”
Lei Da nodded in agreement, then laughed, “It’s been over twenty years, the situation has been at a deadlock and now there’s even a sign of the Human Tribe repelling them. The likelihood of snatching Li Cheng away seems slim.”
“Lei Da speaks wisely. If we can’t snatch him, the only option left is to kill him. But with the protection of the Mansion Venerable, killing him would be difficult, unless a Demon Emperor-level existence were to get involved!” another person analyzed.
Lei Da shrugged, “I only said the possibility is slim, but with careful planning, there might still be a chance to snatch him away. At worst, we could simply kill him.”
Li Cheng glanced at Lei Da, noting that this man had a close relationship with that so-called senior. Not only had he shared the details about that day’s Alchemy, but also revealed deeper schemes to him.
From what he said, after twenty years of fruitless siege, they already had a new plan in motion.
Li Cheng guessed darkly, the prolonged failure might prompt the undercover Evil Demons within Fu City to take action against him, hence Lei Da’s words.
“Heh heh, Lei Da, if we could kill Li Cheng and bring back his body to transform into a member of the Corpse Clan or Bone Clan, it wouldn’t take long to regain the status of Supreme Alchemy Dao,” one person chuckled.
Li Cheng was taken aback. This idea… was quite horrifying!
“All said and done, what does this have to do with us? This is for those above to contemplate. Let’s just enjoy our drinks!” Lei Da raised his wine pot and tipped it back generously.
Li Cheng suddenly noticed a dark aura and a faint trace of dead energy colliding around Lei Da’s neck.
After a slight pondering, Li Cheng asked, “Brother Lei, what’s with this dead energy around you?”
It wasn’t that Li Cheng was concerned about the man, but rather, this dead energy presented an opportunity!
Lei Da let out a sigh, “An old problem for over two hundred million years, it’s nothing.”
Li Cheng smiled, “Brother Lei is indeed carefree. Why not seek the aid of a senior from your clan?”
“Brother Yun might not be aware, a Demon Lord had once tried to help Lei Da but to no avail. They said only an object rich with Life Law could eliminate it, but such a treasure is not easy to find,” someone explained.
Li Cheng took another swig of his drink, saying, “The Blood Demon Clan’s domain is said to be derived from the remains of a Divine Dragon that specialized in the Life Law. I’ve always believed there’s some truth to legends; perhaps there, Brother Lei might find what he’s seeking.”
“The Demonic Dragon Forbidden Area?” The color drained from a few faces. They all turned their heads to look around, relieved to see that no one had paid attention to Li Cheng’s words, before they relaxed.
Lei Da’s expression also became grave, “That place is not to be casually mentioned, Brother Yun, please be careful with your words!”
Li Cheng shrugged, “Though it’s my first encounter with everyone here, I feel a kinship. It was out of concern for Brother Lei’s ailment that I spoke.”
Lei Da chuckled, “Let’s drink!”
The group lifted their pots and drank deeply.
Li Cheng said, “Gentlemen, Yun has some matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first!”
After leaving the tavern, Li Cheng went straight out of the city and came to a small hill, where he casually found a rock to sit on.
Before long, Lei Daman appeared. “Brother Yun, did you know I would come?”
Li Cheng was clearly waiting for someone.
Li Cheng smiled, “I, too, have hidden injuries. The Demonic Dragon Forbidden Area can help me recover.”
Having no idea where the Demonic Dragon Forbidden Area was, and not realizing that even mentioning this place here was taboo, Li Cheng could only wait for Lei Daman.
Lei Daman sighed, “I won’t lie to Brother Yun, I’ve actually sneaked in there before, but I couldn’t penetrate deep into it. The formations there are truly too strong, I returned without achieving anything.”
Li Cheng nodded, “I won’t hide it from Brother Lei either. Although I’ve never been there, I’ve also heard that there are formidable formations guarding the place. That’s why I’ve devoted myself to the Array Path for the past two hundred million years, all for today!”
Lei Daman’s eyes lit up, “Brother Yun, are you confident? You should know, any slight carelessness could trigger the formation’s alarm. At that time, we will face an unparalleled strong being of the Demon Lord level, and they will not listen to our explanations. They are bound to crush us with a flick of their hand!”
Li Cheng smiled, it was a play!
This guy was already tempted!
He just needed to showcase his Array Mastery a bit to make him submit, and the matter would be settled!
Thinking this, Li Cheng said with a smile, “I say I am confident, but Brother Lei certainly won’t fully trust me. How about Brother Lei tests me a bit?”
Lei Daman pondered, then shook his head, “I felt a kinship with Brother Yun at first sight. Since Brother Yun says he is confident, how can I not believe him?”
The tone changed, Lei Daman said, “Please wait for me for four hours, Brother Yun. I’ll make some preparations and then come back.”
Li Cheng nodded, watching Lei Daman return to the city.
After a while, Lei Daman came back.
Looking at the approaching Lei Daman, Li Cheng’s expression was somewhat strange. He cleared his throat and said, “Brother Lei, that portable formation of yours isn’t bad, your true body is still ten miles away, yet you’ve projected an identical replica to appear before me.”
The formation that Lei Daman activated was a bit odd; it had no other purpose but to reflect his true body ten miles away, misleading others.
Li Cheng knew that this was Lei Daman’s test.
Though he verbally said he believed, his actions showed he did not fully trust and had intentionally gone back to the city to get this portable formation to probe.
Li Cheng’s words shocked Lei Daman, but at the same time, it was like taking a reassurance pill. He withdrew the formation and said apologetically, “Brother Yun, please don’t take offense. Matters of life and death must be approached with caution!”
“I understand, I would have tested you too. Can we set off now?” Li Cheng said.
Lei Daman clasped his hands together, “Brother Yun, I hope we both achieve what we desire!”
Saying that, Lei Daman took the lead and flew away.
Li Cheng followed. “Brother Lei, how much do you know about that place?”
Lei Daman did not suspect anything; after all, that place was the object of yearning for many cultivators, but ordinary Demon Race members or Dead Spirits knew very little about it.
“As far as I know, the legends are true. That place is indeed transformed from a Divine Dragon that specialized in the Life Law after death. Moreover, that Divine Dragon was likely of the Divine Emperor level. Later, the Blood Demon Race took over that place and transformed it somewhat, turning it into their cultivation paradise.”
“However, not all Blood Demons are qualified to enter. The Blood Demon Race strictly controls access, and I’m not clear on the specifics.”
What Lei Daman said wasn’t very valuable; it seemed that the Blood Demon Clan indeed kept tight control, and little information was leaked out, so outsiders couldn’t discover much even if they tried.
Of course, part of the reason could also be that Lei Daman wasn’t strong enough. If he were a Divine Venerable, naturally, he would know the situation inside.
“It doesn’t matter. I’ve immersed myself in studying formations for two hundred million years and have seen many high-level Divine Arrays. I think there shouldn’t be a big problem,” Li Cheng said.
After all, it was a fabrication, two hundred million years, five hundred million years; just make it up!
Li Cheng didn’t claim there would be absolutely no problems, which made Lei Daman even more at ease. After all, every path should be approached with a humble attitude.
After flying for two days, Lei Daman took a deep breath, “We are about to arrive, Brother Yun, get ready!”
