Chapter 2370: Heart-to-Heart Conversation

Tang Ming hadn’t expected the Nine-headed Goose Deer to say such things, but he began to anticipate the Qiankun Nine Palace Realm.

The Nine-headed Goose Deer’s laughter echoed in Tang Ming’s mind: “At the end of the Qiankun Nine Palace Realm, it will naturally become a plane, and a unique one at that.”

Tang Ming’s pupils constricted; he finally understood the Nine-headed Goose Deer’s idea—as long as he took the Qiankun Nine Palace Tripod and entered the Qiankun Nine Palace Realm.

Then the Qiankun Nine Palace Realm would be invincible, unable to be invaded.

And bringing the Qiankun Nine Palace Tripod into other planes could invade those planes.

Thinking this, Tang Ming’s lips curled into a faint smile: “You’re right, senior. Mei’er will be fine; instead, it’s our enemies who’ll be in trouble.”

“Hahaha. You’re right, our enemies are in trouble, and the first ones we have to deal with are the people from the Demon Abyss. Those guys who killed me back then all deserve to die.”

A roaring voice echoed in the Qiankun Nine Palace Realm.

Even if Tang Ming wasn’t within the Qiankun Nine Palace Realm, he could feel the brutal demeanor of the Nine-headed Goose Deer.

“That’s enough, old nine.”

A hoarse voice sounded, and the Qiankun Nine Palace Realm instantly quieted down.

Tang Ming’s figure appeared within the Qiankun Nine Palace Realm, and Hu Mei’er was brought in with him.

“Tang Ming, what is this place?”

Hu Mei’er looked at the floating mist around and raised her eyebrow, but she trusted that Tang Ming wouldn’t harm her, so she asked directly.

“The Qiankun Nine Palace Realm, I have a Qiankun Nine Palace Tripod, you know that.”

Tang Ming smiled at Hu Mei’er, then began to explain the function of the Qiankun Nine Palace Realm and what it would become in the future.

The Nine-headed Goose Deer appeared in the lake, seeming unrelated to the previous ferocity and mist it had stirred up; its expression was somewhat serious, though Tang Ming and Hu Mei’er couldn’t tell.

“Hu Mei’er, as Tang Ming’s companion, knowing about this is only natural. However, I suggest that until the Qiankun Nine Palace Realm is fully matured, you shouldn’t inform anyone around you. After all, people’s hearts are unpredictable; those around you might not be trustworthy.”

The Nine-headed Goose Deer sighed deeply and then spoke.

Hu Mei’er and Tang Ming exchanged a glance: “Faced with catastrophe, if the Demon Abyss truly attacks the Taoyuan World, the people of Taoyuan World would be doomed. At that time, wouldn’t they be untrustworthy?”

“Some will want to fight desperately, others will want to flee. Everyone’s thoughts are different. Previously, old eight and old five spoke rightly and also wrongly. From what I know, the Demon Slayer Clan will not abandon Taoyuan World. Until there’s no other option, the Demon Slayer Clan won’t forsake Taoyuan World.”

The Nine-headed Goose Deer sighed deeply and then spoke.

Tang Ming raised his eyebrow: “Is it because the Demon Slayer Clan aims to protect Taoyuan World—they are native to this place, right?”

“It’s not just that; look at me and you’ll understand why the demons from Demon Abyss can’t survive. If Taoyuan World were colonized, what would happen to its Realm Spirit? If it were forged into a Magic Treasure like me?”

The Nine-headed Goose Deer’s words were a bit cold.

But Tang Ming’s lips twitched. As the owner of the Qiankun Nine Palace Tripod, Tang Ming was most attuned to the emotional shifts of the Nine-headed Goose Deer.

Nine heads, nine temperaments; although they heed the central head, each head’s opinion can differ.

For instance, the previously raging old nine is a war advocate whose greatest dream is to destroy those who invaded the Abyss before. His emotions are still locked in the time he was the Sovereign of the Abyss.

And what about Taoyuan World’s Sovereign? It exists like a Law, its Sovereign Power controlled by the Prophet.

Will the Prophet agree to leave Taoyuan World and move to the Qiankun Nine Palace Realm? If he forsakes Taoyuan World, then the Realm Spirit’s Sovereign Power probably wouldn’t spare him?

Look at how the Immortal Mountain elites transformed into demons upon entering the Abyss—how terrifying is the curse of the Sovereign Power?

“What are you guys talking about? Why do I not understand? Isn’t this place wonderful? It has beams, mines, and so many Immortal Elixirs. With all these, wouldn’t West Continent City and Taoyuan World be impregnable?”

Hu Mei’er was puzzled, seeing Tang Ming and the Nine-headed Goose Deer looking distressed.

Tang Ming nodded with a smile: “You make a good point; perhaps we’re over worrying. Anyway, let’s leave this place. I just wanted to tell you that even if Immortal Mountain is annihilated, Taoyuan World won’t be. Even if West Continent City is breached and Taoyuan World is occupied, we have a retreat.”

“Mm, I believe you. I’ve always believed you; even if others don’t, I still trust you.”

Hu Mei’er held onto Tang Ming’s hand, resting her head against Tang Ming’s chest.

Ying Chou has been having a great time recently. With Mountain Ghost Granny’s disciple aiding him, he thrived in the Underground Maze.

For some reasons, Mountain Ghost Granny’s disciples seldom ventured deep into the Underground Maze, thus the task of mapping its depths fell to Ying Chou.

Looking at the latest intelligence from West Continent City, a smile appeared on Ying Chou’s face.

The demon plan was personally discussed with him by the old Prophet, though the plan wasn’t initially revealed, but instead predicted numerous possibilities.

After all, those soldiers who were demonized were West Continent City’s enemies long ago, constantly repelled by Taoyuan World’s Sovereign Power.

Could such people really blend in with the Demon Clan? Would they actually collude with those demons?

“Immortal Mountain has fallen?”

Ying Chou’s pupils constricted; he turned to face Mountain Ghost Granny and the girls with bows beside her.

Mountain Ghost Granny hailed from a major sect of Immortal Mountain; Tang Ming’s father, Tang Mosheng, had good relations with Mountain Ghost Granny’s sect.

Because both were enemies of Demon Abyss. Thus, Tang Mosheng invited Mountain Ghost Granny to stay at Demon Origin Mountain. Immortal Mountain was occupied by the demons of Demon Abyss—not to mention Mountain Ghost Granny’s sect.

Mountain Ghost Granny, of such intelligence, instantly understood Ying Chou’s thoughts by observing his expression: “Members of my sect are all here. When I chose to come to Taoyuan World, I had nothing to do with those staying at Immortal Mountain.”

Mountain Ghost Granny mentioned the people at Immortal Mountain, her eyes holding a trace of melancholy. Although her relationship with her sect sisters wasn’t particularly close, she still had many friends at Immortal Mountain.
