Chapter 506 - 227: The Enemy of My Enemy Is a Friend, the Villain’s Villain Is...

He caught a whiff of something amiss from Celestial Star City’s actions.

Thinking about how he had survived so far by transforming into a semblance neither human nor ghost, and with only a few decades left to live before reaching the end, Yellow Springs Ascendant felt a strong sense of urgency.

No more chances to hesitate, at worst, I’ll just charge in and go Unrivaled!

I’ve already set up more than fifty percent in advance. Coupled with my late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, can I not handle an early-stage Nascent Soul on the brink of old age?

Just do it!

When tens of thousands of souls are absorbed and I advance to Divinity Transformation, I will become the new benchmark for Demon Cultivators!

He’s even thought of a title in advance, calling himself the Ten Thousand Souls Demon Venerable!

Listen, how domineering!

Having made up his mind, Yellow Springs Ascendant hurriedly made his way to the outskirts of Celestial Star City.

With a slight display of skill, he easily misled the Golden Core Zhenren responsible for inspection and swaggered into the city.

Tonight at midnight, on the night of the full moon, the concentration of Yin Qi will explode!

This will be Yellow Springs Ascendant’s best chance to slaughter and advance to Divinity Transformation!

Celestial Star City, still under lockdown, is completely unaware that their situation has already reached a very precarious point.

An outer circle with the Demon Race lurking, Yellow Springs Ascendant quietly infiltrating from within, and their city defenses riddled by both parties like a sieve.

The Immortal Dao Alliance Headquarters responded quickly, but selecting and dispatching personnel to Celestial Star City would take a long time even using the Teleportation Array.

Relying solely on an old City Lord who doesn’t have many years left, plus a support team from the Celestial Star Sect who just arrived, with only two Nascent Soul cultivators.

One early-stage, one late-stage.

Not counting the Golden Core Stage battlefield, these two must face a late-stage Nascent Soul Demon King, a late-stage Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator approaching Divinity Transformation, two mid-stage Nascent Soul Demon Kings, and one early-stage Nascent Soul Puppet...

It’s utterly inadequate, making one feel a bit sympathetic.

The actions of the three sides remain for the time being; in Celestial Star City, everyone has their tasks, and everyone is busy.

Take Lu Wenwu for example.

Lu Wenwu, after scouting out shops all day, left excited and returned disappointed.

The cooking methods in the Cultivation Realm are nothing noteworthy, mostly just forcing the ingredients together, at least that’s how this city is.

Now, Lu Wenwu rented a small courtyard, tinkering with a large pile of unique ingredients from the Cultivation Realm he just bought.

Do it yourself, and you’ll never go hungry.

With nothing to learn from, he decided to experiment on his own.

Mao Mao couldn’t easily exhibit any peculiar traits in front of outsiders for now.

Thus, it was Xiaowu and some chefs Lu Wenwu hired with high pay for day jobs who became his helpers.

Normally, rental assistants aren’t responsible for helping in the kitchen, which is far beyond their job scope and working hours.

The city’s reputable restaurant chefs wouldn’t strike to do day jobs either, abandoning their old employers and abruptly taking off is somewhat dishonorable, not to mention day jobs aren’t long-term, and the restaurants themselves wouldn’t agree.

But there’s no choice; Lu Wenwu offered far too much.

When Lu Wenwu, with an expression of "I really can’t handle you," threw one Low-grade Spirit Stone after another, even taking out a few Middle-grade Spirit Stones to play with, and released his "Nascent Soul Stage" aura pressure...

Xiaowu and the group of chefs immediately disgracefully surrendered, succumbing to the tyranny of monetary power.

Foster Father above, please accept my bow!
