Chapter 1088: Chapter 447: Small Temple, Fierce Demon Wind_3

Activating the Kaiyang Array Eye, Wu Chang and others should leave the Immortal Mansion and return to Zhenyue City.

An Rong needs to lure the previous poisoner into action again, while Wu Chang and Erin need to officially join the Demon-breaking Army in the Human Dao Alliance.

The three returned to Zhenyue City, and before they reached the city, they saw Lü Changgeng leading the high-ranking members of the Human Dao Alliance, waiting at the city gate for the three of them.

Lü Changgeng saw Wu Chang and proactively greeted him warmly, saying:

"Brother Tang and his disciples have been traveling around fighting demons, with great merit and hard work. The Human Dao Alliance and the entire Da Xuan owe a lot to the Tang Sect; they should let the Tang Sect recuperate."

"But now, with the demon realm about to be broken, Changgeng can only shamelessly ask Brother Tang to make a move. Unexpectedly, Brother Tang, with a single move, secured the most difficult Immortal Mansion, truly putting us to shame."

When An Rong sent the message earlier, he had already told Lü Changgeng that Wu Chang had acquired the Kaiyang Immortal Mansion, and that there was immortal fate within it.

Wu Chang already had a deep foundation in the Human Dao Alliance. At this moment, he not only represented the meritorious figure who captured an Immortal Mansion but also a future cultivator of the Earth Immortal Realm.

Both points were reasons enough for Lü Changgeng to personally lead the high-ranking members of the Human Dao Alliance to greet him.

Wu Chang waved his hand and said, "Alliance Leader Lü praises me too highly. Eliminating demons and safeguarding the Dao is the responsibility of us cultivators."

Lü Changgeng reached out to hold Wu Chang’s arm, guiding him into the city, and said:

"It is Brother Tang who is modest. Come with me; Changgeng has already ordered a feast to be prepared to welcome Brother Tang."

As Lü Changgeng spoke, Wu Chang noticed a female cultivator with an ethereal, serene, and dignified demeanor standing to Lü Changgeng’s left. She exuded a divine aura, and judging by her realm, she should be Peach Fairy Gu Zihan.

Gu Zihan’s gaze had been on An Rong from the start. After confirming An Rong was alright, she approached Erin and introduced Zhenyue City to her.

The fourth Earth Immortal of the Human Dao Alliance emerging was even more significant than Gu Zihan leading cultivators to withdraw safely from the demon realm. Wu Chang and Erin, under the crowd’s embrace, enjoyed a grand celebration banquet.

Unlike the memories of the Tang Sect Leader, at the banquet, every cultivator he saw had a genuine smile, without the previous indifference and perfunctory behavior.

While receiving congratulations from various cultivators, Wu Chang also observed the Human Dao Alliance cultivators present.

After looking around, he did not detect Demon Qi or any sense of incongruity from anyone.

The most likely assassin mentioned by An Rong turned out to be the least likely one.

At the end of the banquet, Lü Changgeng, as the Alliance Leader of the Human Dao Alliance, formally announced Wu Chang as the fourth Earth Immortal of the Human Dao Alliance.

In the Human Dao Alliance, the Earth Immortal’s status is above that of an elder and second only to the Alliance Leader, holding extremely high status.

Earth Immortals can enjoy the highest level of benefits in the Human Dao Alliance, such as exchanging for the highest-level mounts, applying for a large number of elixirs, and freely perusing secret intelligence sent from various places within the Human Dao Alliance.

The status and benefits of being an Earth Immortal are many, but the Human Dao Alliance wouldn’t let Wu Chang take these benefits for nothing.

At the end of the banquet, Lü Changgeng told Wu Chang to head to the demon realm within three days, before the completion of the Ziwei Exorcising Grand Array, to gather the last missing intelligence on the Wind Demon King.

Lü Changgeng knew that Wu Chang had just acquired immortal fate and had not yet fully fused and condensed divinity, so the accompanying cultivator this time was not a grandmaster or great grandmaster, but An Rong.

Perhaps feeling that this was not secure enough, Lü Changgeng added:

"After the last exploration of the demon realm, the demon race will surely increase their guard. Just Brother Tang and Tai Sui alone might not be convenient to act."

"Recently, the number of celestial beings coming to Da Xuan for support has increased. Once they complete their trials and return, Brother Tang can select a few to accompany him to the demon realm. The celestial beings’ cultivation methods differ from ours, providing stronger resistance to Demon Qi, perfectly suited for exploring the demon realm."

Wu Chang, surprised, asked, "Have celestial beings appeared?"

Lü Changgeng nodded and said, "This morning, a celestial being appeared. This celestial being is exceedingly powerful. His realm is similar to a regular great grandmaster’s, but I did not feel confident in defeating him."

"In the evening, multiple celestial beings appeared, each at the level of a great grandmaster. At this moment, they have all taken trials and are in the midst of completing them."

Lü Changgeng sighed and said:

"These celestial beings are all exceedingly youthful in appearance. I can’t feel the marks of long years of cultivation on them. To acquire such great grandmaster-level cultivation with seemingly no effort and in just a few short years is truly enviable."

"If the Overseas Immortal Mountain is like this, what sort of place must the true Immortal Realm be?"

Wu Chang nonchalantly agreed with a few words, though all he could think about were the celestial beings Lü Changgeng mentioned.

Judging by the timing, the players entering this instance should be 12 hours after him, the second batch being those with invitation numbers within the top ten.

Sword Star and Leng Shan should be among them.

They came at the right time. The Kaiyang immortal fate mission requires him to activate the Twelve Earthly Branches.

With the blessing of the Kaiyang Immortal Mansion, granting 100% immunity to the effects of Demon Qi, he was in a hurry to enter the demon realm to find the demon race’s secrets, with no time for tasks like dirty or tiring work.

Since Sword Star and others have appeared, he might as well leverage his True Self to outsource the rewards as hidden side quests to them.

If they don’t gain benefits while activating the Twelve Earthly Branches, he can, at most, cash in all the Earth Immortal benefits and distribute them as task rewards to a few of them. By then, they’ll certainly still thank him.

Wu Chang asked symbolically, "Alliance Leader Lü, are those celestial beings reliable? Could any demons infiltrate among them?"

Lü Changgeng shook his head and said, "Rest assured, Brother Tang; we’ve personally verified each celestial being, and there won’t be any issues."

Seeing Lü Changgeng so sure, he no longer hesitated and accepted the task of exploring the demon realm.

After three rounds of drinks and five courses of dishes,

Wu Chang and Lü Changgeng arranged to confirm the exploration plan in detail the following day. Then he and Erin left the banquet to head to the small courtyard prepared for them by the Human Dao Alliance.

On leaving, he saw Gu Zihan saying something to An Rong. With two Earth Immortals conversing together, it seemed that the previous poisoner wouldn’t dare to act further, so he didn’t approach to disturb the two of them.

At the same time that Wu Chang’s True Self returned to the room, he came to the final moment of the exploration of the Megrez Immortal Mansion.
