Chapter 493: Intrigue
The three old ancestors on the outskirts of the ghost domain actually led more than 100,000 god-level puppets into the ghost domain, sweeping across the way, not letting any ghost cultivators go, and killing them all!
This is totally out of this world.
The seven old ancestors of the ghost realm were so angry that they were fuming. In the huge palace more than ten thousand miles north of Kurumu City, there was a lot of curses.
These three little bastards actually raided their lair while they were away. Who could tolerate this?
However, no matter how intolerable it was, the seven old ancestors cursed for a long time but none of them volunteered to go back and deal with those three little bastards.
They all want to stay in Uttarakuru, because they have all been reborn, and the space between life and death is basically preserved. They no longer need any yin energy. What they need is the five elements of spiritual energy and even the blood of monsters and demons.
There are basically no such things in these ghost realms. Moreover, they have been practicing in the ghost realms for at least 200,000 years, and the resources inside have been almost exhausted by them. Apart from the dense yin energy, there is nothing valuable left.
It is different in Uttarakuru. The five elements spiritual energy is rich here. There are spiritual fields everywhere and magical herbs and medicines everywhere. It is crucial for them to practice the Five Elements Heavenly Way, restore the Five Elements Kingdom, and even continue to expand the Five Elements Kingdom.
Moreover, they can continue to expand northwards, devour those demons and monsters, practice the way of qi and blood, and expand the space of demonic power.
Even more, once Hongmeng Sect and Western Sect take over Qingmu Shenzhou, they can also work together with Hongmeng Sect and Western Sect to attack Chen Jiu in the middle. After killing Chen Jiu, they can also go to Qingmu Shenzhou or even Dongsheng Shenzhou to get a piece of the pie.
In short, staying in Uttarakuru will bring countless benefits to their cultivation. Returning to the Ghost Realm is basically meaningless for them. The Ghost Realm is only of some use to the ghost cultivators under their command. However, for extremely selfish people like them, this is not within their consideration.
And the most crucial point is that this time when they return to the ghost realm, they have to deal with the three ancestors on the periphery. They also bring with them a large number of god-level puppets. None of them is willing to fight with these three guys foolishly, so, after cursing for a long time, no one said they wanted to go back to deal with those three little bastards.
This is naturally not possible.
The most senior of the seven ancestors, the first to join forces with the Hongmeng Sect and the Western Sect in order to be reborn, said sinisterly: "It's no use for us to keep cursing. The art of cursing has been lost. No matter how much we curse, we can't curse those three little bastards to death."
This guy's head and face are all eyes, nose and mouth. His head is bigger than his body. It looks like it has densely packed eyeballs and a bloody mouth. It is really scary. The other six ancestors were originally quite afraid of him.
But, things are different now.
What are you talking about in such a sarcastic tone? We may be wary of you, but if you want to snatch resources from us, delay our future cultivation, and prevent us from increasing our lifespan, then we won't be polite to you.
Shebi Corpse Ancestor was the first to retort, "Tuntian, don't be have a good relationship with Hongmeng Sect and Western Sect. You guys are always the ones fanning the flames, but I've never seen you take action. Do you think we are fools?"
Uh, this.
He really screwed Shebi Shizu badly last time. He reduced this guy's hundreds of thousands of demon corpses to only a hundred thousand. The loss was so heavy that it was normal for him to say a few words to him when he was in a bad mood.
Patriarch Tuntian said rather awkwardly: “Ancestor Corpse, I am not being sarcastic, I mean we cannot let those three little bastards go on being so arrogant, the Ghost Domain is our home base, and it is also connected to the Western Cult’s Xiniu Hezhou, so its location is extremely important.
If we don't take it back, not only will we lose our old nest, but they will also cut off our connection with the Western Religion and the Hongmeng Religion. I told you last time that these three little bastards were up to something with that Chen Jiu, but you still didn't believe it. Now I was right, right?
They keep saying that they want to take back those puppets. Do you believe it? They have hundreds of thousands of puppets. Will they fight us to the death for a few puppets?
This is a joke. Their goal is to take over the ghost realm and cut off our connection with Western religion and Hongmeng religion!
Do you know how serious the consequences will be if the ghost realm is taken over by them?
We are now surrounded by Chen Jiu to the south, Tongtian Sect to the east, and the demon ancestors we drove away to the north. We are already surrounded on three sides. If they take over the only way out in the west, we will be surrounded on all sides!"
You just say these useless bullshit. Last time you took the lead in pushing me, right? This time I will take the lead in pushing you.
Shebi Shizu sneered, "Yes, the Ghost Realm is too important to us. You have been talking about it for a long time but nothing has happened. Since you said the Ghost Realm is so important, why don't you take your men to deal with those three little bastards and take the Ghost Realm back!
This time you want to push us up again, and you just watch the show from behind, right?
I'm telling you, there's no way. You must come this time. If you don't, we won't care. Anyway, we have no connection with the Western Religion and the Hongmeng Religion. If we want to cut off the connection, we will cut off your connection with the Western Religion and the Hongmeng Religion."
The other ancestors nodded repeatedly to show their agreement.
This guy is so sinister. Every time he pushes them from behind, he just refuses to go first. This time, he must go first!
When Patriarch Tuntian heard this, his tightly packed brows knitted together at the same time. This was trouble. It seemed that he had no choice but to go up.
This time he has no chance to hide behind and watch the show. Since he has to go up, he has to bring back some powerful helpers!
He frowned and pondered for a while, then sighed helplessly: "They have three ancestors, and they have hundreds of thousands of god-level puppets. You all know how powerful those god-level puppets are. They are even more powerful than the demon gods that have been transformed into zombies. How can I defeat them if I go back alone?"
You still want to get people to help, right? Okay, you can figure out how to deal with this kind of offending matter yourself. Don’t you like to push people around? Then get a few people to accompany you back!
Shebi Shizu said coldly: "Whether you can do it or not is your business, don't come to me, my losses are already heavy enough, if anyone asks me to do it again, I will turn against him."
I!
Well, this Corpse Ancestor really cannot be offended again. He had already offended him badly last time, causing him to be in conflict with him now. If he offends this guy again, he might really turn against him and attack him.
Patriarch Tuntian thought about it and simply called out his name, "Qiangliang, you have robbed the most ghost cultivators in the outer area of the ghost domain. You have robbed at least half of them. Moreover, your territory is just to the north of the territory of those three guys. It is estimated that they have all been robbed by others. This time you come back with me to take back your territory. Is that okay?"
What's wrong with me stealing a lot of ghost cultivators?
Ancestor Qiang Liang said unconvincedly, "You have robbed as many ghost cultivators as I have, right?"
Patriarch Tuntian actually nodded and said, "I didn't say I didn't rob it, right? I already said that I will go back and help you take back your territory.
Do you still want to not go back this time? Do you not want your own territory anymore? Besides, you have robbed many ghost cultivators under the command of the Beiming Patriarch and the Xuanyin Patriarch. If you don't go back, they will not let you go."
Uh, this.
Ancestor Qiang Liang said helplessly: "It will be difficult for the two of us to deal with the three of them."
You still want to recruit people, right?
Patriarch Tuntian thought for a moment, and then called out, "Skull, you can't escape this time. They said that if you don't return the puppet, they will come to trouble you. Do you want to wait for them to trouble you, or go back with us to trouble them?"
Do you want to push me back to fight those three guys?
The Skeleton Ancestor said unhappily: "What does this have to do with me? If they want to cause trouble for me, then let them. I'm not afraid."
This guy is indeed very strong. Apart from him and Shebi Shizu, he is the strongest. The skeletons under his command are also the most resistant to beatings. This guy must be pushed back!
Patriarch Tuntian thought for a moment, then tempted him, “Didn’t you say that when we attacked Northern Juluzhou last time, we didn’t catch the demon ancestor, nor did we catch Tianzun and Zhenjun, and the corpses of those demon gods and demon fairies were all taken away by Corpse Ancestor. Isn’t that unfair?
If we catch those three little bastards this time, we'll leave their bodies for you to skin and extract their tendons and refine their bones, okay?"
Three ancestors!
The Skeleton Ancestor was tempted.
He is now too lazy to refine skeletons of demon gods and demon fairies, because refining skeletons is much more troublesome than refining zombies for Shebi Corpse Ancestor. Therefore, before they attacked Uttarakuru last time, they had agreed that the corpses of True Lords, Heavenly Lords and ancestors would belong to him, and the corpses of other demon fairies and demon gods would belong to Shebi Corpse Ancestor.
As a result, they didn't catch any True Lord, Heavenly Lord or Ancestor, so he had worked in vain.
This time, it’s the corpses of three ancestors. If he can refine them into skeletons, his strength will at least double!
By then, he will be the strongest among all the ghost realm ancestors, and neither the Sky-Swallowing Ancestor nor the Shebi Corpse Ancestor will be his match.
The temptation was so great that he found it hard to resist.
He couldn't help but ask, "Really? Don't lie to me. If you lie to me, I will turn hostile."
The Heaven-Swallowing Ancestor said seriously, "Why would I lie to you? It's useless for us to take the corpse, Qiangliang, don't you agree?"
We must bring along the Skeleton Ancestor as a helper. It’s really useless to take his body, but I want his soul.
Ancestor Qiangliang nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, the bodies are useless to us, they all belong to you. Skeleton, I want the souls. Tuntian, give me two of the three ancestors' souls, isn't that too much?"
Humph, you are greedy, right?
Okay, I'll let you take the lead then!
Patriarch Tuntian pretended to hesitate for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll give you two of the three ancestors' spirits, but let me make a deal, if you only catch two, we'll each get one, and we'll split it equally."
You have tricked the Skeleton Ancestor back, so it should be no problem to catch those three little bastards, right?
Patriarch Qiangliang nodded decisively and said, "Okay, if we only catch two, we'll each take one and split it equally."
You haven't even set off yet , and you've already divided up the other person's body and soul. Don't let others divide up your body and soul later!
When Shebi Shizu saw this, he couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
The other three ancestors were a little worried that this fellow, Ancestor Tuntian, would drag them into the water.
They exchanged their spiritual consciousnesses quickly, and an old ancestor immediately said, "Tian Tun, the three of you should be enough to deal with those three little bastards. We can't send too many people back. After all, there are still hundreds of thousands of Chen Jiu's troops here. If most of them go back, I'm afraid we won't be able to defend Beijuluzhou."
The other two ancestors nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, Chen Jiu is much stronger than those three little bastards. We can't go back. If we go back, we may not be able to defend Beijuluzhou."
Okay, just help us guard it. We are not going to stay here forever after we go back.
Patriarch Tuntian said coldly: "You can guard Northern Juluzhou, but don't think of taking our three territories. We are risking our lives for everyone. If you want to do something behind our backs and grab our territory in Northern Juluzhou, don't blame us for being rude."
Elder Qiangliang also quickly agreed, "Yes, don't do anything behind our backs. If you try to seize our territory in Northern Juluzhou while we're away, we'll really turn against you."
The Skeleton Ancestor simply threatened: "It just so happens that I am still short of corpses of the Ancestor level."
Who are you three trying to scare? Who do you think those three little bastards will beat you into a pulp when you go back this time? If your strength is not as strong as ours by then, don’t blame us for being rude!
The other three ancestors couldn't help but look at Shebi Shizu.
At this moment, Shebi Shizu has the smallest territory, because he failed to take over the southernmost piece. So Shebi Shizu's territory is less than one tenth of Uttarakuru.
Shebi Shizu also knew that these three guys wanted her to take the lead. She thought about it and said coldly: "Okay, stop talking nonsense. Those three little bastards have already attacked our family. The ghost cultivators we left behind have almost been slaughtered by them. Why are you still talking nonsense here?"
This guy's temper has been getting worse and worse since he was cheated that time.
There was no way I could do this. You were the strongest person at that time, and you were above me. If I didn't cheat you, who else could I cheat?
Patriarch Tuntian endured it for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "Alright, Skull, Qiangliang, let's quickly gather our men and horses and prepare to set off."
After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.
The Skeleton Ancestor and the Qiangliang Ancestor looked at each other and disappeared.
Shebi Shizu used her spiritual sense to scan the area, and seeing that the three guys had disappeared within her spiritual sense range, she asked solemnly, "Are you interested in their territory?"
The three ancestors nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes."
They are not of one mind. They have been scheming against each other since they were in the ghost realm. They have fought countless battles over the past 100,000 or 200,000 years.
Originally, there were more than seven ancestors in the ghost realm, and the others were all killed by them. They wanted to do it whenever they had the chance, because if they didn't do it to others, others would do it to them.
Seeing this, Shebi Corpse Ancestor said grimly: "We'll see. If they fight those three little bastards and both are injured, we will kill Tuntian together and force Skull and Qiangliang to return to the ghost realm."
She wanted to kill Tuntian and become the boss, while the other three ancestors wanted to seize the territory of Beijuluzhou. The two sides hit it off immediately.
The other three ancestors nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, okay."
