#1719 - The resurrection plan of the first generation Taotie puppet!
Within the space occupied by the Tainted Walkers, all members had returned to their positions.
“You should all be aware that the battlefield is about to shift to Honglin,” the Dragon-Phoenix man said in a low voice, which, despite its quietness, managed to suppress all other sounds.
“Indeed, we are all aware. However… I understand that the Taint Lord intends to use this opportunity to completely destroy the Hong Lord’s forces, but isn’t this too risky? In terms of control over Honglin, the Hong Lord holds an absolute advantage. If we were to remain in the original battlefield, the Hong Lord could only put up a desperate resistance, barely surviving for a few centuries at most. But now, shifting to Honglin… the Hong Lord must have prepared countless schemes within Honglin.” One of the Walkers said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, the Dragon-Phoenix man chuckled and said, “How could we possibly fathom the Taint Lord’s intentions? Besides, even if the Hong Lord has schemes, does the Taint Lord not have any? I, for one, believe this is more advantageous for us Walkers!”
“That’s right. On the main battlefield, we Walkers couldn’t exert much influence. But now that the battlefield is shifting to Honglin, there’s much more we Walkers can do. By then, those Tainted Barbarian Kings won’t be able to treat us with such cold disdain,” Lingming said.
Upon hearing the words ‘Tainted Barbarian Kings,’ the expressions of the Walkers subtly changed, with many revealing fierce glares.
“Humph! If the Taint Lord hadn’t sent us to this Honglin in the first place! What business would those Barbarian Kings have on the main battlefield? We could have joined forces and utterly crushed those good-for-nothings under the Hong Lord!”
“Those Tainted Barbarian Kings control nearly eighty percent of the Tainted creatures, while we can only lead twenty percent. It has to be said, the disparity is a bit too large. Once the battlefield descends upon Honglin, we must find a way to ask the Taint Lord to bestow more power upon us, so we can properly compare and see who contributes more to the Taint Lord.”
“Speaking of which… will the Taint Lord’s main body descend here?”
“I don’t know. Let’s not speculate about such things. Before the battlefield descends, we still need to make some preparations,” Lingming said.
Hearing this, the Dragon-Phoenix man said, “That’s right, we can’t afford to be idle either. The Taint Lord specifically instructed us to cease attacks on the Nine Great Hong Trees. After the battlefield descends, the Taint Lord will need to use these Nine Great Hong Trees for certain purposes. So, during this period, do not actively attack; simply limit the growth of the Hong Trees.”
“Accumulate power and strive for a decisive victory with one strike.”
“Yes.”
As the words fell, the Walkers dispersed, leaving only Lingming and the Dragon-Phoenix man behind in the blink of an eye.
“Speak, what is it?” the Dragon-Phoenix man said.
“Do you remember Mingyue, whom I mentioned before?” Lingming smiled, a cold glint flickering in his eyes.
“I remember, the Tainted creature separated from the Taotie’s body, possessing several souls. But if I remember correctly, many of its souls were destroyed,” the Dragon-Phoenix man said.
“That’s right, they were indeed destroyed. Now only three souls remain: one in the Triple Heaven, one in the Quintuple Heaven, and one in Honglin. Although many of its souls were destroyed by Ji Dongfeng, it still managed to obtain what it needed,” Lingming smiled.
Hearing this, the Dragon-Phoenix man’s eyes lit up, and he said, “Oh? Are you saying that the initial Taotie puppet resurrection plan is about to succeed?”
“That’s right, only the final step remains. Mingyue’s soul is currently searching for the last ingredient within Honglin. Once successful, we will be able to forcibly summon the initial Taotie and transform it into a puppet. Not only will it charge into battle for the Taint Lord, but more importantly…” Lingming sneered.
“Ji Dongfeng,” the Dragon-Phoenix man and Lingming said in unison.
“That’s right, Ji Dongfeng. Or rather, the Tenth Generation Taotie within Ji Dongfeng’s body. This will be a crucial step in completely destroying Ji Dongfeng’s luck!” Lingming said.
Hearing this, the Dragon-Phoenix man pondered for a moment and said, “It’s not that simple. Ji Dongfeng has extremely deep ties with the Heavenly Dao. If we want to completely destroy him… we need to first find a way to withstand the one above.”
“We cannot fathom that one, not even the Taint Lord can understand its intentions. But as far as I know, most of the time, it will not interfere… We’ll take it one step at a time… The reason I’m telling you all this is that I hope you can help me find the last ingredient within Honglin,” Lingming said.
“Speak, what is it?”
“A Supreme-grade Longevity Pill.”
Hearing this, the Dragon-Phoenix man was first stunned, then frowned slightly and said, “This thing sounds like something from the Underworld Hong Tree.”
“That’s right, but the Underworld Hong Tree no longer has the materials to refine the Longevity Pill… As far as I know, some Hong Trees in Honglin also possess this kind of pill,” Lingming said.
“The Longevity Pill contains extremely powerful life force. Only by using this item can we forcibly drag the initial puppet out of the Taotie Prison.”
Hearing this, the Dragon-Phoenix man pondered for a moment and said, “Alright, I’ll help you look for it. Remind that Shen Mingyue to behave herself recently and not provoke Ji Dongfeng.”
At the same time, above the volcano of the Forging Sect in the Triple Heaven.
Han Qiushi and the others looked at the lava with solemn expressions. Ji Dongfeng’s words and actions defied all logic, leaving them feeling somewhat mentally exhausted.
“Boom!”
“To be honest, just now in the lava, I vaguely heard a voice calling in my ear. It said three things in total. One was praising me for being handsome, one was saying that I was destined to be with the Forging Sect’s treasure vault, and the last was saying that Shangguan Yao died unjustly and that Du Hengjiang is an ugly old geezer,” Ji Dongfeng said.
Hearing this, Du Hengjiang’s body trembled. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and forcibly suppressed what he wanted to say.
Han Qiushi sighed and said, “Although I don’t know how little friend came to know this name, Shangguan Yao… was indeed the youngest elder in the history of my Forging Sect. He possessed extremely powerful talent in both cultivation and forging. It’s just a pity that his heart was not right. While we were away, he stole the sect’s treasure from the vault and nearly killed Elder Du. If Elder Du hadn’t resisted desperately, I’m afraid the Forging Sect’s treasure vault would have been emptied by him. It’s just a pity… Elder Du accidentally killed him, otherwise, I would have personally interrogated him.”
Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng raised an eyebrow, pointed at Du Hengjiang, and said, “I’m not judging by appearance, but with his shifty-eyed look, you believe him?”
