Chapter 322 - 177: Chen Family Couple, Evil Ghost Coexistence Technique
Collecting his thoughts, Feng Jue did not dwell on it but clasped his fists in a gesture of thanks, "Thank you very much for this time, Fellow Daoist Han."
Wen Jiu didn’t hesitate, getting straight to the point, "Fellow Daoist Feng, I already know the function of the Left Sect Order, and I’ve asked about the rules for entering the Little Demon Realm. To be honest, based on my judgment, it seems better for one person to use the Left Sect Order rather than two."
Using the Left Sect Order individually to challenge the Heterodox Cultivators on the Left Sect Hundred Cultivators’ Record requires only facing one opponent.
But if two people use it simultaneously, they must face two opponents.
Sometimes, one plus one might not be greater than two, or it might even be less than two. After all, this is about combat and not drawing symbols. Moreover, there are many secrets he holds, and being with others in one place for cultivation isn’t necessarily good.
Feng Jue seemed to have anticipated Wen Jiu’s words, and after sitting down, he hurriedly said, "It’s good, but Fellow Daoist alone may not be able to defend a cultivation land."
Wen Jiu remained silent, quietly waiting for Feng Jue to continue explaining.
Feng Jue continued, "The Lord of Wind and Cloud Immortal City gives Loose Cultivators only one hundred and eight cultivation lands in the Little Demon Realm. Moreover, upon entering, they can receive protection from the Lord of Wind and Cloud Immortal City, and also be shielded by a Yin Array to block most True Demonic Qi.
Therefore, it’s not only Heterodox Evil Cultivators who desire to take over these cultivation lands; many Tribulation Cultivators do as well. However, these people are inherently suspicious—this is innate and unchangeable. Hence, they trust no one but themselves and would never entrust their backs to another.
But with wolves plentiful and meat scarce, the Heterodox Evil Cultivators occupying the cultivation lands are their prime targets for challenges. Yet I, Feng Jue, can swear a Heavenly Dao Oath, ensuring that I will never stab a fellow Daoist in the back.
You and I together can surely defend a cultivation land. The main point is, Fellow Daoist, you won’t need to fully utilize zombies in the future to avoid revealing any clues which might be sold as information to the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks."
Listening to these words, Wen Jiu couldn’t help but smile slightly, "Then are you not afraid that I might stab you in the back?"
"Fellow Daoist, if you wish, you could have done it many times already. With the power of your two corpses, I am no match for you."
Feng Jue laughed and lifted his hand to drink a cup of wine that had been poured in front of him, without any hesitation.
This act by Feng Jue is undoubtedly the best gesture. After all, when out and about, who dares to recklessly drink things from others?
Brother Feng.
To trust me so much.
It’s almost embarrassing.
But I, Wen Mouren, will live up to your trust. I just used your name for something good.
"Since Fellow Daoist Feng has said so, then what reason do I have to refuse?" Wen Jiu also smiled as he drank the wine in his cup.
Both exchanged smiles, and Feng Jue immediately sworn a Heavenly Dao Oath, yet didn’t require Wen Jiu to make one. As for whether Feng Jue completely trusts him, Wen Jiu could only say, if it were twenty-two years ago, he would believe.
After all, back then, when he was only one year old, even if someone pointed at poop saying it’s food, he would probably believe it.
But now, he doesn’t believe.
Feng Jue dared to do this, there must be a reason.
Or to say.
There must be a reason not to fear his Escape Technique or Soul Capturing Technique.
"Another person with great fortune," Wen Jiu couldn’t help but mutter in his heart with emotion.
After this thought, Wen Jiu took out the Left Sect Hundred Cultivators’ Record, "Fellow Daoist Feng, have you already looked into the cultivators listed here?"
"I have."
Feng Jue responded.
In his hand appeared a version of the Left Sect Hundred Cultivators’ Record that was even more detailed than Wen Jiu’s, which included everyone’s battle records, identity annotations, and speculations.
"Fellow Daoist Wen, given our strength, we can’t challenge the weakest individuals, nor can we go beyond our stage to challenge. So challenging the two strongest Early Stage individuals is advisable.
I’ve already studied this along the way; there are a total of three choices. The first choice is the couple from the Chen Family, ranked eighty-eighth. They are renowned Heterodox Dao Companions in the Divine Fall Mountain Range, holding the lives of three Foundation Establishment Cultivators before entering the Little Demon Realm. After entering, in thirty years, they’ve been challenged three times. All three times were victories, and each duel lasted less than three hours.
Secondly, there’s the Fu Family brothers ranked seventy-six, Demon Cultivators at the Early Stage, who fled from overseas to here. Though they’ve only been in the Little Demon Realm for ten years, four Foundation Establishment Cultivators have already died at their hands, including one from the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks. In the Early Stage, they are among the best.
The third option is sisters Shi Xing and Shi Yue ranked eighty-third, who’ve cultivated for over one hundred and fifty years, and twenty years ago held fierce reputations within the Divine Fall Mountain Range. They excel in the Absorbing Yang to Supplement Yin technique, having innumerable male cultivator deaths to their name. Their latest duel was a year ago, where they battled a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator for half a day without faltering, eventually forcing the cultivator to retreat."
Wen Jiu took Feng Jue’s Hundred Cultivators’ Record to meticulously check, and indeed found only these six people most suitable. Because others either have unmet battle records or are too strong.
Though he doesn’t fear them, exposing too many trump cards would be detrimental to quietly nourishing corpses in the Little Demon Realm.
"Demon Cultivator Spirit Bodies are very strong, let’s eliminate them first." Wen Jiu directly ruled out the Fu Family brothers, then said, "Let’s not choose Shi Xing, Shi Yue, either. They seem to deeply resent male cultivators, and once a duel starts, it’s to the death."
Wen Jiu felt the Zhao Family couple was the most suitable, as even after challenging in the Little Demon Realm, they don’t kill the opposition if they win, obviously being wise people who leave room to meet again someday.
Challenging such people is best, no need for a death duel; just show strength, and they will naturally back down.
They are not lacking in strength, and not as extreme in temperament as Evil Cultivators, maybe even facilitating interactions in the future. After all, being new to the Little Demon Realm, one always needs a seasoned guide.
