Chapter 437: Chapter 182: The True Birth of Techniques at the End of the Mortal World... Longevity Secret Pill Manual, Instant Longevity Sword!! (Part 2)

They are all from strong sects, at least holding positions like stewards or tributors.

Even more so... they hold the esteemed title of Elder!

Among them.

Lan Jingyu also saw two individuals who were once designated as true successors to ’Danxia Mountain’ and ’Sword Immortal Temple’.

With the decline of both sects, the two naturally inherited the positions of respect, one being the Danxia Mountain Lord ’Li Chengzhen’, a rather shy young white-clothed pharmacist in his early twenties.

The other carries a sword box, with eyes like starry skies and a pair of sword brows, ambitious and enterprising, was once the chief of Sword Immortal Temple, now the Temple Master, Meng Ke.

These two... are remarkably also in this hall!

Danxia Mountain and Sword Immortal Temple, were once part of the sixteen strong sects, unrelated to Tongye Duke’s Mansion, they obey orders but not commands, calling themselves the Mountain People.

Yet now, appeared under Li Treading Immortal...

It’s obvious.

Naturally, they are also his personnel!

"The Demon Hunting Department... truly cannot be underestimated, its reputation well deserved."

"But if only like this, how can it resist Marquis Hu Wei?"

"Even if this Great Demon Hunter Master has some tactics, he is merely like an ant trying to stop a cart before a True Master." Lan Jingyu sighed, yet held some disdain in his heart for demons and Half-Demons.

Thus, Lan Jingyu clenched his fist and looked toward the upper seat, his gaze straightforward:

"I, being far at the border, don’t know the details of the Tongye Duke’s Mansion mutiny."

"Moreover, as a defeated general, with not much military force left, Lan Jingyu can’t possibly threaten, nor gather Demon Hunter Prince of Ta Xian."

"Since Young Master Li Xuanzong has obeyed and departed far, I have nothing more to say."

"But..."

"Marquis Hu Wei has already breached the gates of Tongye Mansion, slaughtered his way inside, his forces will soon be at the city gates."

"At this time, killing Li Qiankun, despite him abandoning his lord and defecting to his maternal uncle, surely is a slap to Marquis Hu’s face, what will your next move be?"

"Will you flee the city, or join his cause to preserve your fame and fortune?"

"Rumor has it that Marquis Hu Wei greatly admires the Great Demon Hunter Master, perhaps by joining his ranks, you may also fulfill your ambitions." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Lan Jingyu is a pure-blooded human, a horse groom by origin, with a tough backbone, once he served as a servant to a noble of Half-Demon Blood in Tongye State, enduring much suffering.

Therefore, he joined Duke Tongye’s army, because Duke Tongye was of human origin, his army, was the fairest.

If there were no longer a place for humans in Tongye State.

Then, he’d rather hide his name, flee thousands of miles, go to the mountainous Changbai State, join the ’Red Eyebrow Army’, pledge allegiance to Yellow Dragon Dao, than serve as a dog to those of Divine Blood and demons!

After ten years of struggle, if he ended up going back... it wouldn’t be different from dying.

He spoke this way, also to test, to see whether the newly appointed Duke would choose to bury his bones here or serve another.

If the first.

To die alongside him, why not?

"Commander Tongyedong, Lan Jingyu..."

While Lan Jingyu contemplated, sizing up Jixia.

He was also scrutinizing this ’Tongye’s First General’, who lost a battle and retreated all the way to Tongye Prefecture City.

He saw that his armor forged from Fine Gold Meteor Steel was full of dents, knife marks all over, his hair disheveled, some blood stains dried and couldn’t be washed away.

But despite the messy appearance, Lan Jingyu’s eyes still shone brightly.

Even if alone, he dared to break into the midst of Tongye Mansion’s ’power rebellion’, fearless and without hesitation. freeweɓnøvel.com

Jixia saw this and couldn’t help but nod in acknowledgment.

Plus, there was a faint sense of familiarity, invading his heart.

Making Jixia determine from vague memories, that this person was also related to a hundred years later.

Thus he glanced at the summoned Demon Hunting Department people who had achieved significant anti-demon merits in the northwest three months after its establishment, previously part of many strong sect Martial Artists, now compiled into the Demon Hunter Patrols and Demon Hunters, saying:

"General, please wait a moment."

"As for whether to flee or surrender..."

"Heh."

"Why not a third option?"

Third option?

Lan Jingyu slightly furrowed his brow.

Soon enough, he saw those gathered Demon Hunter Generals offer mysterious smiles, then step out, closing the hall’s doors.

Only leaving behind several extraordinary individuals who had achieved great deeds in demon slaying, led by ’Li Chengzhen’ and ’Meng Ke’, human pillars of the world, still standing in place.

Unlike Lan Jingyu’s baffled state.

These people seemed to know what ’event’ they were to face next.

Thus, Meng Ke of Sword Immortal Temple, tightened his grip on the sword in hand and was the first to inquire:

"Demon Hunter Master, are those things you mentioned... all true?"

Lan Jingyu’s brow furrowed.

What things are all true?

He vaguely sensed that the Demon Hunting Department held great secrets, only... if they didn’t say, he couldn’t guess.

And hearing Meng Ke’s question, with many gazes turned toward him, Jixia mysteriously smiled, stating:

"I mentioned before, if we are like-minded, stand on the same path, follow me..."

"I, will give you unexpected benefits."

"Mountain and River Returning Yuan Qi, Vital Energy of Life and Death, Scripture of Inner Illumination of the Divine Soul..."

"You originally thought those were secret teachings of Life and Death Mountain and River Sect, but a day ago, inheriting Duke Tongye’s mantle, I gathered you... told you, they are not."

Jixia gestured, first evolving ’Mountain and River Returning Yuan Qi’, clenching his fist to unleash ’Vital Energy of Life and Death’, then using Divine Soul Inner Illumination, spreading techniques comparable to ’Celestial Human Domain’ throughout the entire hall.

Each cultivation technique, illustrating profound mystique at its essence, was meticulously deduced by him, even outsiders could see he was already a Dao Grandmaster, indistinguishable from the founding creator.
