Chapter 491: I Won’t Oppress Him, If He Takes Three Moves, This Matter Ends Here

“My son was harmed by this old dog, his foundation has been half-ruined by the Blood Sha. If your sect can solve this, we can continue the discussion.”

“If you can’t solve it, then there’s no need to discuss any further.”

Lu Changsheng coldly said, the Yin-Yang Mixed Hole Great Millstone above his head rumbled, its supreme power reversing life and death, Yin and Yang, as if it would bury this whole world.

His main purpose here was to resolve Lu Quanzhen’s physical condition.

To see if the Yin Ghost Sect had any way to handle it.

“Blood Sha invasion? May this humble one take a look at your son’s condition?”

Yin Ghost King squinted at Lu Quanzhen and said in a deep voice.

Since Lu Changsheng had come with a purpose, just as he suspected, then the matter could be resolved.

The greatest fear was if the other side sought revenge, leading to a life-and-death struggle.

Especially since such a formidable opponent, with an unknown background and origin, was involved.

“Very well.”

Lu Changsheng’s Wuxiang Treasure Wheel spun behind his head, opening a small gap in the Mysterious Yin-Yang Divine Light enveloping Lu Quanzhen.

“Buzz—”

In an instant, Lu Quanzhen felt a powerful, abyssal aura.

This wasn’t someone targeting him, but the oppressive aura of the Yin Ghost Sect’s Fourth-Tier grand formation.

Even a wisp of that aura’s power was terrifying beyond measure for any Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Soon, a Divine Sense probed towards him.

Lu Quanzhen didn’t resist, knowing it was Yin Ghost King’s Divine Sense checking his condition.

“It really is the Netherworld Blood Sha. Not only has it corroded his body and Spiritual Energy, but it’s also infiltrated his soul and Dao Foundation!”

“However, his situation feels like someone transmitted power to him using the Ten Thousand Ghosts of the Netherworld Technique, leading to a Qi deviation and damaging his foundation.”

Yin Ghost King’s brows furrowed, finding Lu Quanzhen’s situation very odd.

Typically, no one would be eroded by the Netherworld Blood Sha to this extent.

Or rather, being corroded to this extent should have killed him, it was impossible for him to still be alive.

As he tried to probe further, a vast and majestic Divine Sense appeared, blocking and repelling his own.

“This Divine Sense!”

Yin Ghost King’s heart suddenly shook as he looked at Lu Changsheng in shock.

His own ghostly Dao technique gave him a Divine Sense comparable to a Golden Core peak cultivator.

But before Lu Changsheng’s Divine Sense just now, his own felt insignificant. He couldn’t help but suspect Lu Changsheng’s Divine Sense had reached the Nascent Soul level!

This was astonishing!

The difference between Golden Core peak and Nascent Soul, though separated by a fine line, was like heaven and earth!

If someone at the Golden Core level had Nascent Soul-level Divine Sense, it would be truly shocking!

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Yin Ghost King said with a wary expression, “Your son’s foundation is infested with the Blood Sha, which severely damaged it. I deeply apologize for this. To solve it, though, we do have two options.”

While saying this, Yin Ghost King also sent a voice transmission to Ghost Demon Realman, asking about Lu Quanzhen’s situation.

“Sect Master, I’m not sure either.”

Ghost Demon Realman looked sullen.

Not only was his son killed by Lu Quanzhen, but even the disciples sent to kill Lu Quanzhen were dead.

Then, when he, a dignified Golden Core Realman, went to deal with a mere Foundation Establishment junior, he was intercepted and heavily injured by his old rival, Old Demon Zhentian.

Now, Lu Changsheng had come looking for him, making him feel utterly frustrated and aggrieved.

“Old Demon Zhentian, the Five Poison Sect’s Heavenly Spider handler?”

Yin Ghost King frowned upon hearing this.

He knew some details about Old Demon Zhentian and Ghost Demon Realman’s feud.

But how did Nangong Mili get involved?

“What are the options?”

Lu Changsheng asked.

“First, if your son is willing to switch to cultivating the Ten Thousand Ghosts of the Netherworld Technique, our sect can use the Ten Thousand Ghosts’ Blood Pool to help him cultivate. The Blood Sha will naturally be resolved.”

Yin Ghost King explained.

Though such sect techniques are never shared externally,

as long as Lu Quanzhen started cultivating the Ten Thousand Ghosts of the Netherworld Technique, they would be associated with the Yin Ghost Sect.

Future techniques, Divine Abilities, and the refining of Magical Treasures would all depend on the Yin Ghost Sect.

By then, they could use these factors to make this ‘Yangming Zhenren’ owe them.

However, he knew that the chances of the other party agreeing to this were very slim.

“Aside from that, our Yin Ghost Sect also has a technique that can resolve your son’s Netherworld Blood Sha.”

“However, this method is difficult to cultivate, carries some risk, and given your son’s current condition, it would be troublesome for him to cultivate.”

Yin Ghost King continued.

Since the Netherworld Blood Sha originated from their Yin Ghost Sect, there was naturally a way to handle it.

The simplest method would be to place Lu Quanzhen in the Ten Thousand Ghosts’ Blood Pool, using vast amounts of Natural Treasures to solve all issues.

However, such a treasure and method are impossible to use on outsiders.

“What is the technique?”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes sharpened, his gaze intense.

“Swoosh—”

Yin Ghost King produced a black Jade Slip, which shot towards Lu Changsheng at lightning speed.

Lu Changsheng raised his hand and grasped the Jade Slip with ease, scanning it with his Divine Sense, instantly seeing a technique named ‘King of the Underworld’.

This technique did not eliminate the Netherworld Blood Sha, but refined it for one’s own use.

However, to refine the Blood Sha, one must cultivate the technique to the second level.

Given Lu Quanzhen’s current condition, even cultivating this technique would be incredibly difficult, let alone reaching the second level.

“If Friend Yangming chooses this method, our sect can also provide a Vajra Relic as compensation.”

“The relic can suppress the Netherworld Blood Sha, balance your son’s body, and assist in his cultivation of the technique.”

Yin Ghost King offered, his sincerity evident.

He really didn’t want to continue entangling with this formidable opponent, Lu Changsheng, preferring to resolve the matter as soon as possible.

“A Vajra Relic?”

Lu Changsheng’s brow rose.

Back when he obtained the True Saint Method of Brahma Demon, requiring celestial demon blood, demonic origin, and a Buddhist relic to cultivate, he had researched Buddhist relics.

He knew that within the Jiang Kingdom, Yue Kingdom, and Jin Kingdom regions, no Buddhist sects existed.

He never expected the Yin Ghost Sect to possess a Buddhist Vajra Relic.

This only demonstrated that such sects, with thousands of years of heritage, truly had unparalleled reserves.

Their treasury contained many Natural Treasures and rare items that were hard to find in the outside world.

“What grade?”

Seeing the King of the Underworld technique, Lu Changsheng felt a bit more confident in solving Lu Quanzhen’s problem.

Right now, Lu Quanzhen’s body was too weak.

But with the help of his Healing Divine Light and Lu Miaoge’s Taiji True Water,,they could gradually restore his body.

Once Lu Quanzhen’s condition improved, enough to withstand the Netherworld Blood Sha, he could attempt to cultivate the King of the Underworld technique.

However, upon hearing about the Vajra Relic, Lu Changsheng wanted to take a look.

“A Third-Tier Vajra Relic, used several times with some energy depletion, but still capable of suppressing the Blood Sha inside your son’s body.”

Yin Ghost King explained, then sent a message requesting someone to bring the Vajra Relic over.

Lu Changsheng remained silent, then handed the King of the Underworld technique to Lu Quanzhen for him to inspect.

“King of the Underworld.”

Lu Quanzhen recognized it as a body refining method that turned the Blood Sha into personal power.

The only issue was that his current state made cultivation difficult.

Or that cultivating it might cause other changes in his body.

“Father.”

Lu Quanzhen quickly shared his concerns.

“Hmm.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, thinking his son was rather insightful in this matter.

“Friend, please take a look.”

Moments later, Yin Ghost King produced a Brocade Box.

Opening it, a thumb-sized, milky white bead with a faint golden glow sat inside.

“Is this the Vajra Relic?”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes emitted golden light as he examined the relic.

He could see that the Vajra Relic was somewhat similar to a practitioner’s Golden Core or a demon beast’s inner core.

But as Yin Ghost King mentioned, its energy had been depleted due to repeated use.

“Very well, as long as this person agrees to one more of my conditions, we can conclude this matter.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, then looked at Yin Ghost King and Ghost Demon Realman beside him, his eyes cold.

Ghost Demon Realman, when met with Lu Changsheng’s gaze, instantly felt his hair stand on end, like he was facing a life-threatening danger, and subconsciously took a step back.

Danger!

With a single glance, he felt a menacing threat, as if his life was about to end.

“Damn it! Why didn’t that kid mention he had such a father earlier!”

Ghost Demon Realman cursed inwardly.

“What condition?”

Yin Ghost King, dressed in a black brocade robe, exuded a mighty presence. His Late-Stage Golden Core power surged as he asked.

“It’s simple. Since he likes to bully the weak, I won’t oppress him. He only needs to take three moves from me.”

Lu Changsheng’s expression remained calm as he spoke.

He knew that making the Yin Ghost Sect hand over Ghost Demon Realman was impossible.

Unless his power completely overwhelmed the Yin Ghost Sect.

Otherwise, no force would do such a thing.

As soon as he said this, the scene erupted in an uproar.

All the cultivators glanced at the Golden-Winged Roc beneath Lu Changsheng, then at the black vortex funnel crackling with energy above his head, and finally at Ghost Demon Realman, their faces twitching.

Even though Ghost Demon Realman was a Golden Core cultivator with blood Dao techniques that made his vitality extremely tenacious, no one believed he could withstand three moves from Lu Changsheng.

“This is impossible!”

Ghost Demon Realman immediately shouted.

He wasn’t just injured.

Even in peak condition, he wouldn’t dare take three blows from Lu Changsheng.

Their Grand Elder, who was in the Late-Stage Golden Core, was already in a miserable state.

If he were to take three moves, it would be akin to seeking death!

“I have already made concessions and offered compensation for this matter. Friend, don’t push too far!”

Yin Ghost King said coldly.

Though he found Ghost Demon Realman’s performance disappointing, he still couldn’t let him take three moves.

After all, anyone could see that under three moves, even if Ghost Demon Realman didn’t die, he would be crippled.

If this were to spread, wouldn’t it suggest that the Yin Ghost Sect couldn’t protect its own people?!

“Too much!? My son’s foundation is half-ruined, his lifespan significantly shortened! Even if the Blood Sha is resolved, his Dao Foundation is damaged. His Golden Core formation in the future will be incredibly difficult! You call that excessive?”

“If that’s the case, then there’s no need to continue this discussion!”

A fierce purple-red flame blazed around Lu Changsheng’s body, as he stood like a massive dragon coiled in the sky.

The Yin-Yang Mixed Hole Great Millstone roared above, emitting endless black and white holy light, turning heaven and earth upside down, twisting everything into oblivion.

Chu Qingyi and Lu Quanzhen were both shocked, feeling as if the grindstone above was destroying everything between heaven and earth.

“Roar! Roar! Roar!—”

The protective formation of the Yin Ghost Sect surged as gigantic ghost kings roared, brandishing their Hell Robes, summoning countless Netherworld vortices.

The two invisible forces clashed, sweeping across the heavens, pressing down on the sky and causing it to wail in agony.

“Friend Yangming, I said that Ghost Demon Realman would be punished. If you have any other compensation demands, feel free to propose them.”

Yin Ghost King’s fists clenched beneath his sleeves, his anger barely contained as he tried to maintain his stern expression.

“Father, regarding Ghost Demon Realman, your son will handle it personally in the future. Please spare his life for now.”

At this point, Lu Quanzhen respectfully interjected.

He could see that there was no way to negotiate with his father to kill Ghost Demon Realman today.

Excessive pressure, even if not a threat to his father, could lead to unnecessary trouble.

“Alright.”

After a long silence, Lu Changsheng said, “A Third-Tier Longevity Pill, longevity elixirs, and Condensing Crystal Pills!”

“This is impossible!”

Ghost Demon Realman screamed upon hearing this.

Even though the sect would cover the compensation,

he would still have to repay the sect with contributions and missions afterward.

Items like Third-Tier Longevity Pills and Condensing Crystal Pills were strategic resources of immeasurable value.

He already lacked resources to break through the mid-stage Golden Core.

If he owed such resources, he could forget about breaking through for the rest of his life.

Yin Ghost King remained silent, looking towards Grand Elder Ghost Bat.

For strategic resources like Condensing Crystal Pills, even as Sect Master, he couldn’t make such decisions alone.

“Give it to him!”

Ghost Bat’s voice was hoarse.

He had initially intended to delay and wear down.

Hoping to strike when Lu Changsheng was weak.

But after observing for so long without seeing Lu Changsheng’s Spiritual Energy wane, he realized the opponent was problematic.

Under these circumstances, if the other party managed to escape, no one in the sect would be able to deal with both Lu Changsheng and the Golden-Winged Roc.

Even if their Supreme Elder emerged, it would be useless.

Unless they had the ‘Ten Thousand Ghosts’ Blood Pool’ with them at all times, they could not defeat Lu Changsheng and his golden bird.

So he strongly preferred not to provoke Lu Changsheng further.

Better to spend money to avert disaster.

“Very well, I will accept responsibility for Ghost Demon Realman. We will give one Condensing Crystal Pill, one Third-Tier Longevity Pill, and one High-Tier Golden Core item as compensation.”

With a grim expression, Yin Ghost King agreed, casting a cold glance at Ghost Demon Realman.

Today, being humiliated at their own sect’s gate while making such a generous compensation was a disgrace beyond measure!

He knew it wouldn’t be long before other forces caught wind of this and their sect’s reputation would plummet.

“For now, stability is priority. Once the Supreme Elder breaks through to Nascent Soul, all these whispers will dissipate, and we will settle the score!”

Ghost Bat seemed to understand what Yin Ghost King was thinking and whispered.

If anyone felt the most frustrated today, it was this Grand Elder of the Yin Ghost Sect.

But considering Lu Changsheng’s power and their sect’s situation, he chose to swallow his anger.

Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised.

He hadn’t expected the Yin Ghost Sect to agree so readily.

Originally, he thought having just a Third-Tier Longevity Pill or a single Condensing Crystal Pill would be enough.

“Very well, as you said, once the compensation is provided, this matter is settled.”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng didn’t press further.

Such matters should be pushed just right.

Otherwise, if they were pressured any further, the Yin Ghost Sect might lead a pursuit with the ‘Ten Thousand Ghosts’ Blood Pool’ or even pay a hefty price to have the Five Poison Sect or Heaven Corpse Sect’s Nascent Soul True Lords take action.

“With this matter now resolved, isn’t it time, Friend Yangming, for you to release the two elders of our sect you have been holding?”

Yin Ghost King gazed at Lu Changsheng, speaking in a deep voice.

He was willing to pay such a high price not only to avoid further entanglement with Lu Changsheng but also because two Golden Core elders were still in his hands.

“Hmm?”

Lu Changsheng’s expression turned stern as he coldly said, “Let’s not mix up different matters. This issue arose from Ghost Demon Realman assaulting my son. These two, however, assaulted my wife. How can I let that go so easily?!”

“Friend Yangming, it’s best not to push things too far!”

Yin Ghost King finally couldn’t suppress the anger in his heart. His ghostly aura shot to the sky.

One-on-one, they were no match for Lu Changsheng and his Golden-Winged Roc.

But this was the Yin Ghost Sect!

If they all attacked together, they might just suppress Lu Changsheng.

Besides, their sect had been around for thousands of years. In addition to the Ten Thousand Ghosts’ Blood Pool, they had several secret treasures and deadly weapons!

If deployed, they had some confidence in killing Lu Changsheng!

“Lu… Friend Lu.”

Chu Qingyi, seeing that Lu Changsheng wanted to avenge her, was deeply moved and sent a message suggesting it was unnecessary.

After all, truly angering the Yin Ghost Sect was bad for both sides.

Lu Changsheng squeezed her hand and said to Yin Ghost King with a calm demeanor, “Two people, two Condensing Crystal Pills. Redeem them.”

He knew that in the case of Ghost Demon Realman, the Yin Ghost Sect had already made concessions.

If he tried to extort two more people for a high price, the Yin Ghost Sect wouldn’t agree.

After all, in a case like this, the compensation wasn’t just about resources; it was a matter of the sect’s pride!

“This is impossible!”

Yin Ghost King flatly refused.

Not only did he not want to concede further, but Condensing Crystal Pills were strategic resources. The Yin Ghost Sect didn’t stock many.

If they gave two more to Lu Changsheng, then if the Supreme Elder failed in a breakthrough or the sect faced a crisis, they wouldn’t be able to quickly cultivate new Golden Core cultivators!

“Friend, resources like Condensing Crystal Pills are strategic and even the Yin Ghost Sect only has a limited supply,”

Chu Qingyi whispered to Lu Changsheng.

The materials to refine Condensing Crystal Pills were extremely rare, making them strategic resources for any great faction, impossible to supply infinitely.

“Stopping here is out of the question. Friend, suggest a different price to redeem them.”

Lu Changsheng remained silent for a moment before speaking.

The Wuxiang Treasure Wheel behind his head spun, opening its domain and suppressing the Enchanting Madam and Ghost Shadow Realman nearby.

“This!?”

The Enchanting Madam and Ghost Shadow Realman were stunned by the scene, left bewildered.

What the hell!? Weren’t the Grand Elders supposed to save them?

How had this person reached their sect’s doorstep, even triggering the sect’s grand formation!?

“It’s Lady Ghost Concubine!”

“Ghost Shadow Realman was also captured by this man!”

The Yin Ghost Sect disciples were horrified, their faces full of shock.

The Enchanting Madam was one thing, merely a Golden Core beginner.

But Ghost Shadow Realman had long reached mid-stage Golden Core, having cultivated the Ten Thousand Ghosts of the Netherworld Technique. Even Late-Stage Golden Core cultivators rarely could suppress him.

Yet now both were simultaneously captured by Lu Changsheng.

This was absolutely astounding!

At this moment, all the False Core and Golden Core cultivators present looked displeased at Ghost Demon Realman.

Of all people, why provoke such a disaster?

If this person was truly without morals and ambushed them from the shadows,

none of them would be able to escape alive from this ‘Yangming Zhenren.’

“Huff, huff, huff—”

Yin Ghost King surged with Spiritual Energy, ghostly energy spreading all around as he prepared to activate the grand formation to strike at Lu Changsheng.

But Ghost Bat, sensing his intent, stopped him, signaling him to stay calm.

After a brief discussion, the two agreed to give one more Condensing Crystal Pill and three ordinary Golden Core items.

Compared to Condensing Crystal Pills, Golden Core items weren’t as scarce to Top-Tier forces and had many production sources.

“Alright.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t haggle.

Then both sides made their oaths.

With a grim expression, Yin Ghost King handed over the complete King of the Underworld technique, the Vajra Relic, one Condensing Crystal Pill, the Third-Tier Longevity Pill, and one High-Tier Golden Core item to Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng threw the imprisoned Enchanting Madam and Ghost Shadow Realman to Yin Ghost King.

Yin Ghost King tossed another Condensing Crystal Pill and three ordinary Golden Core items to Lu Changsheng.

“Since that’s settled, let’s call it quits here!”

Lu Changsheng said solemnly, then signaled the Golden-Winged Roc to depart.

“Screech!”

The Golden-Winged Roc screeched, blooming with golden radiance, spreading its wings and tearing through the sky, disappearing in a flash.
