Longevity Chronicles
Chapter 460 - 320 Equality of Immortal and Mortal, Huang Nu Devours Souls

Hidden Dragon Mountain, Ancestor Dragon Hall.

Tao Qian dispatched a demon, which concealed its form and shuttled between the side chambers and the quiet rooms.

Hidden Dragon Mountain was under Great Prohibition, which directly tested one's true heart, thus there was no need to worry about spies mixing in. Therefore, members of the Ancestor Dragon Society who came from all directions seldom established any concealing forbidden techniques, at most, they only arranged some minor warning prohibitions. Such an environment facilitated the actions of the invisibility demon that Tao Qian had sent.

His actions were not particularly remarkable because he was not the only one doing so.

The members of the Ancestor Dragon Society, although united in their goals and some of their ideals, had complex origins and identities.

Many people, like Tao Qian, employed elves and dispatched Ghost Generals to spy, merely to collect some general intelligence. This was not considered particularly secretive. Furthermore, the mountain arose from an Earth Orifice, and various fire spirits and Fire Sparrows often sprang from the crevices, shuttling through the palaces and making the scene lively and extraordinary, adding to the strangeness.

Tao Qian sat cross-legged in the quiet room, ostensibly practicing the Nine Toad Technique.

Not long after he had looked over the Spring Palace, another demon returned in high spirits.

"Master, master, I've found your enemy here."

"I risked my life to uncover their plots. Master, you must reward me handsomely."

While speaking, the demon turned into invisible demon light and crashed into Tao Qian's skull.

A new scene, like a painting, unfolded:

Indeed! The first thing that caught his eye was Yin Susu; in this territory, she was the one who could be called Tao Qian's nemesis.

This Devil God Princess was still dressed as the Red Robed Demoness.

Her fair chest was exposed, her figure captivatingly seductive, incredibly stunning. It was just a pity that no one in her room would be tempted by her, for the other few had appearances and statuses no less formidable than hers, each possessing an extraordinary aura that was neither immortal nor mundane—they were all daughters of the Devil God.

One of the women was even more bewitching and mature than her.

But behold, this woman unfastened her buttons and untied her sash, revealing her voluptuous and luscious body. Naked, she lay on the silken warm bed, exposing her fragrant shoulders and back, while another girl in a green dress, with hands radiating light, kneaded a kind of medicinal ointment on her back, eliciting from her some indistinct moans.

If a pure-hearted scholar heard this, he would undoubtedly blush to his ears and become visibly aroused.

This woman was much older than the other four in the room, appearing to be in her forties, yet her allure also reached its peak, like a fully ripe fruit, rich and inviting.

She cocked her head and looked toward Yin Susu by the window.

Yin Susu was at that moment holding a palm-sized human bone statue, whose facial features strikingly resembled "Tao Qian."

Was she pining for him?

Not at all. She was cursing someone to death.

Yin Susu gripped the statue in one hand while continuously forming devil seals with the other, mumbling curses nonstop.

At this moment, the mature woman's teasing voice was heard:

"Ninety-seventh sister, we've come this far; why do you still not forget to secretly meet your lover from afar, ignoring us sisters?"

The oldest woman finished speaking, and the green-dressed girl who was applying the ointment spoke up.

Her appearance was charming and lovely, her voice as crisp as a kingfisher's.

"Don't tease sister Susu, Seventeenth Sister. She is avenging her husband after all. What's strange is why the 'Heavenly Demon Summoning Blood Burning Divine Spell' doesn't work."

"Susu is always cursing whenever she's free. Even without essence blood or personal belongings as a medium, with such diligent cursing, she should have successfully assassinated him by now. But I hear that not only is he unharmed, his reputation is becoming even more dreadful."

"Pitiful sister Susu's husband, what's his name, Tang Xianzong, right? Although he was a detestable lecher, he died a wrongful death and almost achieved great things."

The green-dressed girl's words were not comforting, but instead, they hit Yin Susu where it hurt.

Hearing this, Yin Susu's face changed, and her curse-casting was interrupted.

Without waiting for her to speak, another pair of girls playing at a pretense in the room joined in.

Both were extremely beautiful, one in a white dress, hair trailing to her waist, her expression icy; the other in a black dress, hairless, resembling a nun yet passionate as fire.

These two women sang in harmony, each uttering a phrase.

"Our father's Divine Spell can destroy most cultivators in the world, but this doesn't include True Disciples of the Taishang Dao or Spirit Treasure Sect. If not for the lack of essence blood as a medium, Susu's frequent casting would have surely backfired."

"Susu doesn't want to avenge her husband. She never esteemed Tang Xianzong. She's merely indignant that the Spirit Treasure True Inheritor fooled her with the Joyful Zen Technique and swindled the 'Heavenly Demon Blood Slaughter Divine Needle' from her father, ruining Tang Xianzong's Great Plan... That man indeed deserves hatred. Deception is one thing, but for him to be so stingy as to not even sacrifice his own body resulted in Susu getting nothing but empty hands."

After the demonesses of black and white had spoken, Yin Susu's face turned even uglier.

All four in the room were daughters of the Devil God.

Yin Susu ranked ninety-seventh, except for the green-dressed girl who was younger than her, the rest were her older sisters. Previously, Yin Susu was highly favored, but unfortunately, due to the "Southern Yue Incident," she suffered heavy losses and fell greatly in stature within the Devil God Army.

Now, the unfavored Devil God Princesses dared to openly tease this younger sister.

Everyone was currently working under the "Hong Fu Demon," the Devil God's third daughter, who was most likely to inherit the command of the entire Devil God Army. Who would be afraid of whom?

"Shut up, all of you!"

Yin Susu suddenly shouted angrily, her fingers as white as scallions suddenly exerted force, instantly crushing the bone statue.

This demoness abruptly stood up, her eyes seemingly about to spew out green ghostly fires, a pale venomous flame, as she gritted her teeth and said word by word:

"That brat destroyed the major plans of our Devil God Army; why do my sisters laugh at me?"

"Just you wait. Third Sister has already promised me that once the 'New Moon Rebellion' succeeds and the Hong Fu Army formally allies with the Ancestor Dragon Society, she will ask Father to cast a spell from afar to curse kill that little bastard. Even if he is protected by Duobao True Monarch, he will survive, but he will suffer a severe blow and his Dao Path will be hindered."

...

In Tao Qian's mind, the last image that remained fixed was Yin Susu's angry and somewhat twisted beautiful face.

Having seen his old nemesis through the void, Tao Qian said rather helplessly:

"Daughter of Devil God, truly an unreasonable bunch."

"Back in Southern Yue, I was the one captured and nearly lost my innocence; I'm the victim here."

"However, this indeed is important news. The old monster, Devil God, must be at the Daoist Transformation Realm, or even possibly a Tribulation Immortal under special conditions? If he curses me, I am afraid real trouble is imminent..."

Tao Qian had this thought and immediately went to inquire with Yuan Gong.

The answer came swiftly.

"What are you worried about, lad? Not to mention your favored status in the Spirit Treasure Sect, which you are well aware of, but even your Spirit Treasure Sublime Body can exempt you from remote curse killings and similar divine arts, even if an old monster from the Daoist Transformation Realm makes a move."

"Unless, lad, you and that Devil God's daughter have already conceived in secret. If she takes out the fetus and curses you through the blood ties, then you would be in danger."

"I clearly see that you, lad, have not lost your Primordial Yang, so why trouble yourself unnecessarily?"

Hearing these words, Tao Qian immediately felt much more at ease and did not take to heart Yuan Gong's strange tone.

Just at this time, another Demon returned.

This Demon was even more excited than the previous one, rushing towards him while simultaneously transmitting its voice, shouting:

"Master, Master, I've seen a big secret."

"Those Yellow Robe Demons are too terrifying, consuming people's Heart Souls, bewitching their minds, even more ruthless than us Outer Realm Demons by a notch."

Hearing those eight words, Tao Qian's brows immediately furrowed.

Simultaneously, invisible Demon Light exploded in his mind, revealing scene after scene that left Tao Qian agape:

Initially, in a remote hall, there were dozens of young heroes and cultivators, some discussing mystical paths, while others spoke with fervor.

The most eye-catching among them was actually an acquaintance of Tao Qian.

Long ago, he was born in the vegetable market of Seeking Immortal County and later obtained two methods, "Bai Qin Scripture" and "Immortal Fish Technique," relying on the latter to acquire an Alien Species Dragon Ball and thus step onto the path of cultivation.

To settle his mind, he once helped two Heroic Couple heroes collect the corpses of dozens of heroes who died after the Seeking Immortal uprising failed.

Unexpectedly, he saw those two again today.

Yin Juejun!

Duan Qiu!

Just as Tao Qian thought of their names, he heard the former stomping on a jade platform, shouting loudly in all directions:

"Fellows, having joined the Ancestor Dragon Society, you should understand the many truths proposed by Mr. Ying Daoist."

"How can we think about dividing and ruling before the uprising succeeds, using the words of the ancient saints from the Human Clan to silence us, such tactics are useless."

"Our Ancestor Dragon Society has three main objectives: the first is to launch the New Moon uprising to overthrow the reign of flesh by the Seven Evil Sects; the second is to unite New Moon Province and declare war against the decrepit Alchemist Organization; the third is to establish the principle of equality between Immortal and Mortal. Within the province, no matter what Immortal Sect or Daoist Sect, all must be under our control. Even Beichan Temple and Xuan Dao Palace must send True Disciples down the mountain to assist us in aiding the millions of people..."

One must admit, if you were a common mortal, hearing Yin Juejun's proclamation would undoubtedly stir immense excitement, seeing him as a savior.

Unfortunately, although there were many people in that side hall, not one was a common mortal.

Each one was a disciple or an Elder from different forces.

Even if some agreed with Yin Juejun, at this moment they had reservations and would not choose to vocally support.

The higher the tune, the fewer the supporters, leaving Yin Juejun and Duan Qiu feeling dejected.

For a moment, they had no choice but to resort to drinking, both of them now cultivators, evidently having encountered some kind of Immortal Fate.

However, the drink served there was the Jadescent Nectar that could intoxicate cultivators.

Soon enough, both of them fell drunk.

A Yellow Robed Eunuch came up to each, helping the Heroic Couple, moving towards the quiet room.

Inside the room, the eunuchs did not lie them down on the couch.

Instead, they supported them as they sat cross-legged in the quiet room, facing each other.

Immediately, the two Yellow Robed Slaves began to shed their clothes; their tattered Yellow Robes were removed, unexpectedly transforming directly into two sticky, icy cold yellow eel-like creatures that wormed their way into the mouths of Yin Juejun and Duan Qiu, bit by bit.

A dense yellow halo suddenly erupted, engulfing the two.

At the same time, the eunuchs, now without their robes, revealed their true forms.

They were emaciated monsters with internal organs and intestines crammed together, along with bones covered with yellow spots, all wrapped in a membrane as thin as a cicada's wing; a piece of yellow tattered cloth hung at their loins, which was in fact, a strange piece of flesh grown from their bellies.

Their heads were large, mouths full of tusks, and drool dripped slowly; a few strands of yellow hair floated about, while a pair of yellow pupils that emitted a strong Evil Light stared at the Heroic Couple.

The next moment, they collapsed bonelessly like some soft-bodied creatures, entwining and clinging to the two, the heads under the Yellow Robes approaching the ears of the two, and began whispering indescribable, chillingly low murmurs.

It didn't take long for the two already drunk Heroic Couple to suddenly awaken.

Jolting their heads up, their eyes, once full of zeal and energy, were now blood-red, filled with some kind of fervor.

In turn, they started to chant in a low roar:

"The great New Moon uprising will surely succeed."

"New Moon People will be protected by our Ancestor Dragon Society."

"Slay the Seven Evils, battle the Alchemists."

"Immortal and Mortal are equal!"

"Long live Ancestor Dragon!"

"May the soul of the Ancestor Dragon bless all People!"

...

One after another, the two Heroic Couple heroes pronounced these stirring declarations.

Both failed to notice that the two monsters entwined on their bodies were slowly merging into them.

Their flesh, blood, organs, Spirit, Soul... everything was getting branded with a dense yellow halo imprint that flashed intensely.
