146: Chapter 146 Schemes

"With Fellow Daoist Zhao joining our effort to slay demons this time, our chances have increased significantly. Since Fellow Daoist Zhao is new, you might not be familiar with the information regarding the demons of White Deer Mountain, so let me introduce it to you." Another thin, yellow-faced middle-aged Daoist nodded at Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng made an obeisance and said, "I ask that you instruct me, Fellow Daoist."

The yellow-faced middle-aged Daoist identified himself as Daoist Wang. He appeared to be a meticulous person with a sharp look on his face. "This wedding at White Deer Mountain is actually a major event concerning the common people of the world. Everyone knows that the demons of White Deer Mountain are revered as leaders by the thousands of Pure Demons, and these Pure Demons maintain neutrality toward our Human Race. However, this marriage alliance with the Blood Demon is undoubtedly adding insult to injury for the situation of our Human Race."

He paused, then continued, "The one from the Blood Demon side getting married is the Third Prince of Sky Dragon Valley. This Third Prince not only has astonishing potential himself but is also doted on by the Sky Dragon Old Ancestor, so he is protected by experts at all times. Our plan is to kill this Third Prince and try our best to frame the Pure Demons for it. Even if we cannot sow discord between the two sides, we must ensure his alliance cannot be formed." Speaking of this, Daoist Wang's face was filled with Killing Intent.

"Brother Wang speaks the truth. These Prodigies should be wiped out completely!" the Daoist nun, Seven-Kill Loose Cultivator, said sternly.

"Right!" "Exactly!" "That's right!" the others shouted as well.

"Everyone, please calm down and listen to your second brother speak slowly." The crane-haired old Daoist called himself Daoist Qianyuan. He was the leader of these six people. Although he looked amiable, when he spoke, the other five had no objections, appearing quite convinced by him.

Daoist Wang continued, "Because our goal this time is to kill the Third Prince of Sky Dragon Valley and thereby sow discord, the main enemies we need to kill include two at the Nascent Soul Stage, one at the Exit Soul Stage, and one at the Divided Soul Stage. Considering they are of the Yao Race and we do not have very powerful Magic Treasures, we must have targeted combat strategies."

"The three at the Nascent Soul Stage are the Third Prince and the Black and White Attendants. The Third Prince's original form is a Green Python; he has not yet transformed into a dragon, but his Bloodline Divine Ability, 'Sky Dragon Transformation,' allows him to turn into a Green Dragon, which is extremely formidable. The Green Dragon excels at close-quarters combat and requires a close-combat expert to face. The Black and White Attendants' original forms are a black snake and a white snake. These two demons are a rare case of twins from a single egg, and they excel in the Yin and Yang strangulation technique, so we must not let them join forces."

Listening from the side, Zhao Feng was secretly impressed. The Demon-Slaying Alliance could actually clearly know the detailed intelligence of the enemy; they were truly a top-tier organization.

As he thought this, he listened to Daoist Wang continue.

"That demon at the Exit Soul Stage has at least Middle Stage cultivation. His original form is said to be a Shield-Armored Turtle. His Divine Ability is called 'Earth Divine Radiance,' which can attack and defend; it is very formidable."

He paused to catch his breath, then continued, "As for that great demon at the Body Integration Stage, he is a true Yao Dragon. He already possesses two front claws, and his strength is terrifyingly immense. His 'Sky Dragon Transformation' can at least manifest one-tenth of the power of a true Dragon. Aside from Brother Qianyuan here, I suspect no one else can handle him."

Zhao Feng was shocked. He had not expected this amiable old Daoist to be a powerful Cultivator at the Body Integration Stage!

As the Realm closest to Undergoing Tribulation, the Body Integration Stage's strength reached an inconceivable level, having nearly reached the absolute Peak of the Mortal Realm. In an era where one cannot ascend to immortality, Body Integration Stage Cultivators are already the strongest ones walking the world.

"How about it? Fellow Daoist Zhao, I have clearly stated the enemies we must face. Their strength is indeed exceptionally powerful. If you wish to withdraw now, as long as you swear an oath, you may naturally leave, and we will absolutely not stop you." Daoist Wang looked at Zhao Feng with a sincere expression, but only Heaven knows what he was actually thinking.

Zhao Feng said without hesitation, "Disrupting the alliance between the Pure Demons and the Blood Demon is truly a major event concerning the common people of the world. Zhao is also willing to contribute his meager strength to slay demons and defend the Dao, to win a bright and clear world for our Human Race!"

Naturally, Zhao Feng could not tell the truth. Although Luo Ying was a Pure Demon, these people from the Demon-Slaying Alliance hated the Yao Race intensely. If they knew his situation, it was possible they would turn against him.

"Well said!" Seven-Kill Loose Cultivator clapped and said, "Truly a hero of our Human Race!"

"In that case, I will assign the tasks." Daoist Wang and Old Daoist Qianyuan exchanged a glance inadvertently, then said, "Who will deal with the Third Prince?"

Zhao Feng did not shirk the responsibility; this guy actually wanted to marry Luo Ying, he was truly courting his own death. "Leave him to me!"

"Good!" Daoist Wang nodded. "What about the Black and White Attendants?"

"Second Brother, leave these two demons to me and the Sixth Brother. The Sixth Brother and I also Cultivate the Yin and Yang Profound Method, so let us compare with them to see who is stronger!" The yellow-robed Daoist and another fair-skinned Daoist stood out.

"As for that turtle demon at the Exit Soul Stage, the possibility of killing him quickly is too small. Third Sister, you must hold him off."

"Understood, Second Brother!" Seven-Kill Loose Cultivator said firmly.

"Big Brother will deal with that great demon at the Body Integration Stage, while I and the Fourth Brother will look for opportunities to help Fellow Daoist Zhao or the Fifth and Sixth Brothers to kill the opponents in one fell swoop!" Daoist Wang said at the end.

"We will follow Second Brother's arrangements in everything," the younger ones said in unison.

Old Daoist Qianyuan stroked his beard and smiled, "We have already discovered the cloud path of the demons from Sky Dragon Valley, so we can set up a Cloud-Thunder Formation on the cloud path to strike them first, which will also avoid alerting the demons of White Deer Mountain."

Seeing that the members of the Demon-Slaying Alliance had arranged everything airtight, Zhao Feng felt relieved. He believed that if he killed this Third Prince of Sky Dragon Valley, Luo Ying would definitely not blame him.

"Alright, during this time, everyone should not go out to avoid misunderstandings. Also, the old rules: first, take the alliance oath," Daoist Wang laughed heartily.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao is participating in our Demon-Slaying Alliance's demon hunting for the first time, so you might not know. To avoid spies, before every demon hunt, we must swear an alliance oath, with the Heavenly Dao as our witness; naturally, one will not break it." Old Daoist Qianyuan saw Zhao Feng's confusion and explained it to him.

"I see." Zhao Feng nodded. Given his relationship with the Heavenly Dao, even if he broke it, it wouldn't say anything. Thinking this, he didn't mind; swearing an oath was fine.

After taking the demon-slaying oath, the members of the Demon-Slaying Alliance became even more affectionate toward him, and their conversations became much warmer. Old Daoist Qianyuan spoke to him about many principles of conduct in the cultivation world, which enriched his experience significantly.

Although everyone except the Swordsman of the Flowers were accomplished Cultivators, they still rested for a while to restore their spirits to the fullest state to cope with the upcoming great battle.
