Chapter 951: Chapter 44: A Pleasant Conversation? It’s All About Interests
On the other side.
Demon Charm Saint Sect, main peak.
Everywhere here are Ink Plum Trees, with black plum blossoms blooming all over the mountains, giving a magical ink painting vibe, extremely breathtaking and beautiful.
And these Ink Plum Trees are one of the Sect’s core monopolized beasts, Mo Mei.
This wood series beast is incredibly beautiful, mostly adored by women.
And due to year-long contracts with the Mo Mei clan, spending day and night together, genders were influenced, so this place is predominantly female, with a female-to-male ratio of a staggering nine to one.
They even gradually turned wooden, displaying traits similar to Wood Elves.
Initially called the Momei Holy Sect, it was full of beauties, often attracting male disciples, but actually inviting them as marriage partners.
So over time, some women’s beloved ones joined the Ink Plum Sect, displeasing a group of women, leading them to spread rumors, saying the Momei Holy Sect was full of vixens... specialized in seducing men, and nothing good.
As time passed, it gradually degraded in people’s mouths to the Demon Charm Saint Sect, full of shameless seductresses, just knowing how to attract men.
One could only say, some enemies can’t beat you, so they nauseate you.
Spread slander, malign you, so others wouldn’t dare enter your sect.
In this regard, the friend civilization also had things to say, expressing great anger!
Being distorted by enemies into a Beast Taming civilization... making it so that, despite being one of the Thirteen Domains, they couldn’t make friends everywhere anymore.
After all, those "friends" cared about reputation.
Being friends with you, others thought I was your beast, and the entire Immortal Realm pointed fingers and mocked... How would that work?
"That’s all about the background history of our Ink Plum Sect, we are innocent."
True Immortal Momei led the Night Emperor and others up the main peak, constantly introducing kindly and amiably.
"Public opinion warfare is a tactic often used by some schemers in the Immortal Realm."
"Our Ink Plum Sect is of good people, truly."
"Our system is innocent too, it’s a friendship system, yet outsiders insist on labeling us as a Beast Taming system, a slavers’ system... how utterly vile, you shouldn’t believe these at all."
"Of course, I don’t believe in such rumors." said Night Emperor, "I only trust what I see for myself, your friendship system really does treat friends well."
That was indeed the truth.
If the Beast Taming system was the exploiting and oppressing type, it wouldn’t have reached such heights.
Should any beast decide to slack off, fish in troubled waters, or disobey orders during combat... that would lead to major issues.
So, the goal of a Beast Tamer is to be of one mind with the beast.
They are truly willing to spend money raising their beasts, investing heavily...
Because once you cultivate crazily, they can give feedback on cultivation, rising passively.
"But essentially, it’s employees working overtime frantically, while the boss reaps rewards and buys a luxury car the next month..." But inside, Night Emperor mocked, this system is indeed powerful.
Speaking of which.
The Immortal Realm, though it appears glamorous, is apparently all about who has the darker mind.
This public opinion warfare, hiring a group of Water Army to smear you... could even surpass our Beast Taming Manor’s Nine–State Water Army in professionalism.
At this moment, the "avatar" of the Night Emperor went to Nine-State, while his true self was indeed captured in the Demon Charm Saint Sect.
True Immortal Momei was very decisive in action.
Having picked up the Treasure Lotus Lamp, she immediately went to the Celestial Destiny World.
Upon learning about the Night Emperor’s mining activities, she immediately had the Grand Elder Mo Meifeng guard the Celestial Destiny World, then went to the mining area herself.
After all, the more delayed it is, the more variables could arise!
However, even with such swift action, True Immortal Momei only managed to take away the Night Emperor, who was mining obediently and looked puzzled, and Emperor Zangwu.
Jian Xin, however, with bizarre Divine Techniques, directly escaped.
Leading the Night Emperor up the mountain, reflecting on Jian Xin’s vanishing back, True Immortal Momei said:
"That guy actually had no physical form, claiming to be the Emperor of the Heart, directly abandoning his mortal body, jumping from one miner’s heart to the next, and left."
"Clearly a single attribute, pure Yin attribute, yet with such supreme power... only cultivating one path, not dabbling in side-tracks, seems like a road worth taking."
She had seen many strange systems ascend in the Immortal Realm, but rarely such peculiar ones.
"Fine, if you can’t catch them, you can’t."
True Immortal Momei took two people into the main peak.
The Night Emperor was evidently well-prepared, not his clumsy self, with "Shadow Emperor" possession: "Sir, after introducing us to the Mountain Gate background and inviting us to enter the Sect, we are very grateful!"
"But as a leading True Immortal, one of the few powerhouses in the Immortal Realm, why capture us few recently ascended little miners? We haven’t offended you, have we?"
True Immortal Momei, treating them with utmost respect, poured them tea and said: "Do you know the true origins of your system?"
"What do you mean?"
The Night Emperor frowned, "You’ve been to our Celestial Destiny World? The Taoist system there has only recently erupted, and only the three of us have ascended..."
"The Immortal Realm shouldn’t possibly know about the Celestial Destiny World."
True Immortal Momei chuckled, with a meaningful expression, took out a Treasure Lotus Lamp: "Look, what is this?"
"This!?" The Night Emperor showed a look of shock, unexpectedly feeling a familiar aura of origin.
And Emperor Zangwu, who had been abiding, exhibited an incredulous expression, "What is this? How does it carry the aura of the Golden God? Could it be some kind of treasure in the Immortal Realm?"
"This is a very distant history. Your origins are mysterious with many enemies; I am actually helping to protect you, otherwise, continuing to mine... may lead to great trouble."
True Immortal Momei had plans to manipulate them similarly to the Night God Banquet.
But confronting smart people, her approach must change.
For instance, now.
"This is the crude embryo of an Immortal Artificer left by some Immortal Venerate."
True Immortal Momei spoke with underlying implications: "You, the juniors, are merely the descendants of that person; I am here to assist you."
...
Instantly, Emperor Zangwu’s mind entered a mode of frantic contemplation.
Taoist system, mysterious origins, rapid powerful development, which all feels unlike a system without roots...
It developed too quickly.
Apparently, there’s a root cause.
Instantly, a grand drama played out in Emperor Zangwu’s mind.
Perhaps some bigwig Immortal Venerate encountered misfortune, and the system was left in their world, then developed into the Taoist system...
Then this True Immortal, related to that Immortal Venerate, had been seeking these system heirs, finally finding them...
Suddenly, a fascinating soap opera full of twists and turns unfolded in his mind.
Indeed, True Immortal Momei’s expression, demeanor, all hinted at leading them to think in this direction.
The Night Emperor stated solemnly: "Are you saying, we are the descendants left by that person? When I got that Golden Divine Power, it did come from an opportunity by picking up something fallen from the sky."
"Your system, the Immortal Realm had it from the beginning! Its origin is very ancient and mysterious." True Immortal Momei followed his talking.
"Truly?" The Night Emperor inquired.
"Yes, so don’t expose yourselves lightly, or it would bring serious trouble." True Immortal Momei deceitfully spoke: "Hide with me, I will protect you."
Deceiving the son, and then the father.
True Immortal Momei, always a proud Demon Cultivator, suddenly felt a bit remorseful.
Questioning if she was too despicable...
"May I ask, what is the name of that Immortal Venerate..." The Night Emperor suddenly asked.
"When the time is right, you’ll know; knowing now would only cause unnecessary trouble." True Immortal Momei felt herself becoming increasingly despicable.
Yet the Night Emperor held the Treasure Lotus Lamp, pondered for a moment, then nodded: "This is solid evidence, it cannot be fake... This Divine Lamp is almost our clan’s symbol."
Obviously, True Immortal Momei could be called the Shadow Emperor, while the Night Emperor’s acting skills were also top-notch.
This was the concluding link of overlapping schemes.
Still, the same old saying.
When proactively turning oneself in as an adopted son, the dubious opponent might suspect you’re a person like Lu Bu, recognizing anyone as a parent, and wouldn’t cherish it.
But an insightful foster mother, using schemes to deceive the naive adopted son, with smug delight, would then care for them.
When one has an intellectual edge, and the other party feels delighted, they would spend lavishly... guilt may also arise.
Regardless, afterward, the Night Emperor cooperated very well, and both parties happily collaborated, shaking hands, rejoicing in agreement.
Both parties were motivated by their own secrets and desires, both eager to forge this alliance.
Naturally, it soon entered a period of deep affection.
Seeing this situation settled, relationship confirmed, the Night Emperor suddenly recalled a joke from his previous life.
A poor father arranged a match for his son.
Asked the world’s richest individual, whether he wanted a vice president of the World Bank as a son-in-law? The other party agreed.
Then asked the president of the World Bank, whether he wanted the son-in-law of the world’s richest person as vice president? The other party agreed.
Thus, the match was made; the son married the richest daughter and became the bank’s vice president.
Isn’t the current situation just the same? Both sides striving to deceive each other, forge this marriage?
How could this possibly not succeed?
It’s all for interests after all.
