Longevity Chronicles
Chapter 469 - 328: 9 Child Ghosts in the Ghost Mother's Belly, Ancestor Dragon's Spine Joins the Great Plan

Outside Yulan City, in the wilderness on a moonlit night.

Lin Bujue's mind was in turmoil after the Invisibility Demon had left with satisfaction, having received rewards from its master, returning to the Outer Realm.

Lin Bujue, who had just learned the horrifying truth, was unable to snap back to reality for a long time.

Although his time in Ancestor Dragon Society was short compared to old members like Zhong Ziyang, he was still a veteran member and held great admiration for Ying Qingdi, the founder of the society.

In times like these, he was almost the only person who preached "equality between Immortals and Mortals."

He had joined because of a shared vision, never expecting it to be a scam.

Lin Bujue recalled the surge of excitement and reverence he felt when reading the "Longevity Strategy" and other books, which detailed Ying Qingdi's many rebellions and relentless battles. In an instant, he felt cold shivers and his Divine Soul trembled uncontrollably, as a sense of nausea welled up inside him, impossible to suppress.

If it weren't for the fact that he was now a Divine Soul Body, he would probably be vomiting dryly.

"The scoundrel is shameless!"

"A monstrous lie, a wolf's ambition, no, I must expose this beast..."

Enraged, Lin Bujue subconsciously planned to let his Divine Soul return to Hidden Dragon Mountain to expose Ying Qingdi's true face.

Tao Qian did not immediately stop him, but waited.

Sure enough, Lin Bujue was not a rash man.

After taking just one step, the blind rage that clouded his mind was quickly suppressed. His brow furrowed, he began to contemplate.

His face was full of anger and worry as he muttered to himself:

"The Ancestor Dragon Society has been established for a long time and has many members. Who knows how many have been contaminated by this Evil Curse? Is there a way to lift it?"

"If I rashly expose it, the Ancestor Dragon Society will fall apart at once, that much is certain, but I fear those Daoists who have been contaminated will be the first to suffer... yet I cannot simply not expose it, as those books have spread far and wide. Not to mention other places, many fellows on Hidden Dragon Mountain are at risk of contamination at any moment..."

"If I test each one individually, there's the risk of alerting them. What should I do?"

Unsurprisingly, Lin Bujue also found himself in a dilemma.

Indeed, the situation was difficult to resolve.

Fortunately, Tao Qian thought for a moment and then directly addressed the first problem.

"Mr. Lin Daoist, who on Hidden Dragon Mountain has been contaminated, who has not, and to what extent?"

"These things, I all know."

"Hm?"

Lin Bujue was deep in thought, trying to find a solution, when he suddenly heard this and immediately showed a look of surprise.

Then, as if realizing something, he abruptly turned to the Invisibility Demon, asking incredulously, "Was that demonic disaster earlier caused by you?"

Tao Qian smiled and nodded, saying half-truthfully:

"I saw Ying Qingdi harming people with the Evil Curse, and I have some skills, enough to glimpse the origins and roots of this curse. Wanting to save people, I took advantage of Kuang Fusheng's hands to brew a demonic disaster, using it to sift out those who have not yet been contaminated, who can still be saved, faithful Daoists."

"Mr. Lin Daoist, you are the first."

"That is why I insisted on coming out with you. Right now, Hidden Dragon Mountain is full of Forbidden Magic Gates and Ying Qingdi's spies; it is really inconvenient to act."

"By the way, you need not feel sorry for Kuang Fusheng. I have already investigated him; though also a pitiable person, he is deeply demonized. His method to atone involves refining the 'Five Organs of the Good' into an Elixir for consumption, and he has harmed no less than hundreds of people. He deserved to die."

After saying this, Lin Bujue couldn't help but show surprise on his face, along with a rising admiration in his heart.

This Brother Lin not only had extraordinary Divine Powers, but his thoughts were also much more meticulous than his own.

As the thought emerged, Lin Bujue was about to bow in gratitude for the life-saving grace, but he saw Tao Qian's face show a troubled expression, as he continued to say:

"Knowing Ying Qingdi's plot, we naturally cannot let him continue to contaminate our fellow Daoists."

"However, after the demonic disaster on Hidden Dragon Mountain, the Outer Realm Heaven Demons cannot easily act. Moreover, inside the Ancestor Dragon Society, it is a mix of fish and dragons, including the Devil God Army Princess, Taiping Army Remnants, and others. Although I know who has not been contaminated, I do not know among these people whom I can trust and whom I cannot."

"Moreover, the uprising of the Ancestor Dragon Society is imminent, and although this unexpected event has occurred, it still has great value, especially for the tens of millions of the New Moon People."

"Perhaps we could enact the 'Cuckoo Occupies the Sparrow's Nest' plan, borrowing Ying Qingdi's strength to save the New Moon People, and after that, kill Ying Qingdi, eliminate the extensive rottenness, which would be another kind of reform."

As soon as Tao Qian finished speaking, Lin Bujue's expression brightened, and his eyes gleamed.

The despondency and rage following the betrayal by Ying Qingdi faded away, replaced by a soaring fighting spirit, and he quickly said:

"Brother Lin, do not worry, I can handle this matter."

"I have been a member longer than you, Brother Lin. Give me the list, and I will do the sorting."

"Also, among the Secret Techniques I cultivate, there exists one called 'Demon Capturing Talisman', which can summon Outer Realm Heavenly Ghosts to heed my command. Among them is one called 'Nine Sons Ghost Mother', who after entering this world can give birth to nine ghosts each day, each with its own mystery, bridging the real and the unreal, beyond the Five Elements, and beyond Yin and Yang. No matter how sophisticated Ying Qingdi's monitoring methods are, he couldn't possibly detect them."

"Not only can I deploy these spirit ghosts to expose the truth, but I can also use the Ghost Mother's connection to the Void, which can hide a small world within its belly, for us to discuss important matters."

"Exquisite, just do that. Now that you and I know the truth, we must not let Ying Qingdi ruin the great cause of reform."

After speaking, Lin Bujue excitedly dragged Tao Qian back into the Spirit Coffin Lamp Flame.

The grey-white lamp flame flickered for a moment, and they were instantly back on Hidden Dragon Mountain.

In the process, Tao Qian and Lin Bujue decided on the members they would save and persuade to their cause.

Many people atop the mountain had not been tainted by the "Evil Slave Summoning Spell," like Yin Susu and others, who, like Master Tao, were newcomers with high cultivation levels and naturally would not be so quickly ensnared.
