Chapter 167: Wei Wuya's Dilemma!

"Alright, now that we've finished discussing that matter, it's time to talk about the original main business."

As he spoke these words, a playful smile appeared on Zhao Changsheng's face.

Seeing Zhao Changsheng smile like this gave Wei Wuya a chilling feeling, and he couldn't help but ask.

"What is this 'main business' you speak of? Is there something else we haven't done?"

"It's about Demon Fall Valley. This matter must be handled properly. If it isn't thoroughly dealt with, I simply cannot rest easy. This matter must be handled; if it isn't, I truly won't be at peace. So, we need to get this done, and do it well."

Listening to Zhao Changsheng's rambling speech, Wei Wuya grew increasingly uneasy, but he couldn't help asking again.

"Then what do you plan to do? After all, the Cultivators who originally wanted to join forces to besiege you, Fellow Daoist, have now either been subdued by you or directly persuaded. Now, basically the entire Tiannan Cultivation World follows your orders. If you go and exterminate them now, wouldn't that be a bit... lacking in grace? It wouldn't do your reputation any good either, would it?"

"Especially for the Cultivation Empire that is about to be established, it wouldn't bring the slightest benefit. So, this old man hopes you can let go of past grievances a little and not dwell on this matter further, to avoid creating more trouble later."

After saying this, Wei Wuya also felt a bit dizzy and thought he was being somewhat long-winded. But he felt he had to say it; he had already been somewhat corrupted by Zhao Changsheng's influence.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, what do you mean by that? Am I the kind of person who goes back on my word? The 'main business' I'm talking about is to completely and utterly eradicate the Devil Head sealed within Demon Fall Valley, or rather, that Ancient Demon from the Ancient Demon Realm. Only then can I set my mind at ease. If it's not completely eradicated, how can I possibly rest easy? Otherwise, all my previous efforts would have been in vain. So, you need to get the Teleportation Array ready for me, make it safe. Don't mess it up so it only allows entry but not exit."

"And you certainly can't teleport me into a spatial rift to be instantly annihilated. If that happens, I can guarantee that not only will I not be annihilated by the spatial rift, but upon my return, I will also wipe you all out completely. On this point, I can assure you. Remember this: absolutely no mistakes are allowed."

"This matter is of great importance. I must enter Demon Fall Valley safely, without any problems or accidents. It concerns the safety of the entire Mortal Realm."

As Zhao Changsheng spoke to this point, his expression became exceptionally grave. His words also made Wei Wuya's face turn serious, but then a sudden thought occurred to him.

"You're not planning to hide in Demon Fall Valley to Cultivate and never come out, are you? To hide until those few Deity Transformation Cultivators from the Great Jin Cultivation World perish?"

"After all, in terms of lifespan, they can't compare to you. In that case, it really might be possible to outlast them until they die. Their target is only you anyway. Even if they wanted to take action against the Tiannan Cultivation World, they probably don't have that much time or energy. Not to mention the subsequent need to manage the entire Tiannan Cultivation World."

"That's an even greater waste of effort. And if you hide in Demon Fall Valley... leaving aside how troublesome it is to enter... even if they could enter successfully, finding you within Demon Fall Valley probably wouldn't be easy either. You could easily find a place to hide."

The reason Wei Wuya dared to say this was mainly because Zhao Changsheng had just emboldened him.

"You can rest assured about that. I wouldn't do such a thing. I have my own purpose for entering Demon Fall Valley. Wasn't it just explained clearly? It's definitely not to hide from the Deity Transformation Cultivators from the Great Jin Cultivation World who might arrive at any time. If they really bring people to cause trouble for me, just invite them into Demon Fall Valley. I'll deal with them properly inside, saving the Tiannan Cultivation World from being utterly destroyed."

"After all, once we clash, no matter where it happens, that place will be completely obliterated, reduced to nothingness. In that case, naturally, we need to find a relatively safe place that can withstand the commotion of our battle."

"Demon Fall Valley is the best choice. So, just let them enter Demon Fall Valley to find trouble with me. Don't worry about anything else."

"On top of that, I might even be able to use their hands to deal with that sealed Devil Head. Killing two birds with one stone, solving the problem permanently without much effort on my part, saving me some energy. Don't you think that makes sense?"

"It's a completely win-win situation. Although, I suppose they aren't that foolish. If they really are that stupid, then forget I said anything."

"Anyway, when the time comes, it will depend on their own abilities. If they are capable enough, they might accomplish what I mentioned. If they aren't capable enough, then they can wait to remain in Demon Fall Valley forever."

"I'm just leaving a path for them. Whether they take it or not is their own choice; it has nothing to do with me."

"If they can manage to eliminate both me and that Ancient Demon from the Demon Realm within Demon Fall Valley, then I suppose they have some skill. In that case, what I plan to do would have to be abandoned."

As he reached this point, Zhao Changsheng couldn't help but sigh.

"It might not necessarily come to that. After all, this situation won't arise overnight. Moreover, solving the safety issues with Demon Fall Valley's Teleportation Array will take some time. This time could be as short as three to five years, or as long as eight to ten years, which is quite normal. It could even take longer. So, we must wait."

Wei Wuya's words caused Zhao Changsheng's expression to darken.

"If it requires that much time, then there's no need for you to remain alive either. I'm only giving you half a year. Within six months, you must resolve the Teleportation Array outside Demon Fall Valley exactly as I instructed."

"If safe teleportation cannot be guaranteed, you know the consequences. I've made the consequences very clear to you. Go and complete the task properly. Don't think about anything unfavorable."

Zhao Changsheng's threatening words made Wei Wuya's face turn ashen, but he could only agree. After all, with just a single thought from Zhao Changsheng now, they would lose their lives.

After Wei Wuya left, Zhao Changsheng finally let out a sigh of relief. Although using such threatening methods was somewhat underhanded.

Given the current circumstances, he could no longer afford to worry about being underhanded. He had to hurry and resolve all troubles. Not resolving them would not be a good thing.

"Is it really good for you to act like this? And I always feel the consequences of doing so are far too dangerous. What if an accident really happens? That would be terrible."

Regarding the matters discussed between Zhao Changsheng and Wei Wuya, Zhao Changsheng truthfully informed Master Le, who had come into his embrace.

She could now be considered his Little Beloved Wife.

Even though the two hadn't held a ceremony, she was still his Little Beloved Wife.

"Accidents? Accidents happen every day. What difference does one more make? What does it matter? I don't care anyway. If they have the ability, they'll naturally survive. If they don't, then they can die. Don't bother me here, doing things I dislike. I can't be bothered to dwell on these matters with them. I just need to accomplish what I set out to do. If they can help me, or if they prove useful, then fine. If they are useless, then there's no need for them to live."

"I've already made it very clear before. What I'm doing isn't just for myself, but for the entire Cultivation World of the Mortal Realm. If they don't understand that, they should have gotten lost long ago and stopped bothering me. Since they chose to follow me, they must see it through to the end. If they give up halfway, then I can only send them to their graves. I absolutely will not tolerate anyone betraying me during this process. Whoever betrays me, I will eliminate them. Because I gave them a chance, and they didn't take it. So, their chance is gone."

"What my husband says is not wrong. I can understand everything you're saying. But this method is far too tyrannical. It's very easy to push them back to the other side."

Lying in Zhao Changsheng's embrace, the Little Beloved Wife gently tried to persuade him, hoping he could be a bit softer.

"I also know this approach is somewhat too overbearing, but there's no other way. If I don't use such methods and instead try to play mind games with them, I can't outsmart them. Each of them has eight hundred, even eight thousand, schemes in their hearts. How could I possibly outplay them? Since I can't outplay their schemes, I can only use my strength to block their schemes, or simply take their lives."

"Once their lives are gone, they naturally won't dare to play any more tricks with me. If, even under such circumstances, they still try to play games, then I can only say they've truly grown tired of living."

"Aren't you afraid of being used by them? Once you are used, you could become the sharpest sword in their hands. Then, whoever they want you to kill, they might simply use you to eliminate, letting them reap the benefits while you become their weapon."

"Over time, the consequences should be clear to you. You'll bear the infamy, while the benefits end up in their hands, all falling to them."

The Little Beloved Wife couldn't help but try to persuade him again. In response to her pleas, Zhao Changsheng laughed.

"I'm naturally aware of all that. But some things require someone to pay the price. Everything I'm doing isn't for them, nor is it just for myself. It's more for the sake of the entire Mortal Realm. Whether you believe it or not, that's what I say. As for whether they believe it, that's their business. What does it have to do with me? I won't bother whether they believe or not. As long as they don't cross my bottom line, they can do as they please. But if they cross my bottom line, I'll have no choice but to eliminate them. That's not a difficult thing for me to do."

"Before, I kindly tried to persuade them, using my strength to tell them not to play tricks, not to try any schemes, but to obediently listen to me. If they had chosen to oppose me back then, I would have sent them to their graves right then and there. That was giving them a chance."

"And since they chose to follow me, they must follow through loyally. If they don't follow me in what I need to do, then I can only eliminate them. As the saying goes, 'once, twice, but not a third time.' I've given them two chances. Since they chose to follow me both times,"

"they must follow this path to the very end. If they choose to betray me, there is only death. Besides, my path isn't necessarily a path of darkness, but a bright and broad road. Not just for oneself, but even for one's descendants and Family, one should strive to improve the cultivation environment of the Mortal Realm."

"Don't you want to restore the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the Mortal Realm to the level of ancient times? Once we achieve that, the benefits we could obtain would absolutely exceed your imagination. You should understand this even better than I do, right?"

"This humble concubine does understand that. But achieving it probably won't be easy. No matter how meticulously my husband plans, accidents are absolutely bound to occur along the way."

"No matter what accidents occur, as long as one's strength is sufficient, there's no need to worry about such things. Don't worry, it's fine. I'll handle everything, I'll take care of it all. Absolutely no problems will arise. You just need to obediently think of ways to bear me a few children. Then, our children can inherit my current position and become the true Dominator of the Cultivation Empire I establish."

"By that time, even if they wish to become Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, it would merely be a matter of time. You can rest assured on that point."

"Alright, what needed to be said has been said, and even what shouldn't have been said has been told to you. Remember, as long as we can produce offspring, it will be a good thing for both of us, and it will easily resolve the grievances between us."

Zhao Changsheng's words seemed to give the Little Beloved Wife the answer she wanted. The smile on her cheeks grew even more radiant and dazzling, tinged with a desire not present before.

Afterwards, the two began their own peaceful exchange. And this peaceful exchange involved an army of hundreds of millions.

Not just one or two, but this peaceful exchange of hundreds of millions was no small matter. Moreover, it held great benefits for each other's cultivation. Naturally, they couldn't easily let go of or miss out on such a good thing.

Meanwhile, outside, Wei Wuya was also carrying out the tasks Zhao Changsheng had ordered according to his instructions.

Upon receiving the orders regarding what Zhao Changsheng demanded, the expressions of the many Cultivators in the Tiannan Cultivation World turned somewhat ugly, because this task was a bit difficult.

After all, this wasn't something that could be accomplished in a short while.
