Chapter 2374 Fighting the Enemy Together
A person, a scorpion demon.
A scorpion demon? Seeing its glossy, smooth shell, everyone's hearts skipped a beat. Could it be...?
The withered leaf butterfly that Immortal Mingke placed in the Panlong Ruins had previously seen two people and a scorpion demon enter the Panlong Secret Realm.
Is this scorpion the same as that scorpion?
"We come from Cangyan." The first thing the person in front said was, "May I ask if Venerable Mingyao is here?"
Not to mention the disciples, even the immortals were slightly surprised.
The fact that these two guests from Cangyan were so direct indicates that they not only knew that the immortals of Lingshan were gathering here, but also that Mingyao was the most respected person here.
How did they know? Were they perhaps spying on us all along?
Ling Jinbao retorted, "I knew Cang Yan wouldn't be absent."
Before his disciple could answer, Venerable Mingyao waved his hand, and the door opened by itself without any wind.
"Please come in."
The newcomers were none other than He Lingchuan and Aunt Zhu. They carefully passed under the eaves to avoid being spotted by the spies from Yujing City in the sky.
Ling Jinbao spoke first: "What are your names, gentlemen?"
“Cang Yan, Tiger Wing General Lu Chenxin.” He Lingchuan pointed to himself, then to Aunt Zhu, “This is the Master of the Spider Cave.”
He gave the pseudonym he used when doing quests in the Panlong World.
He hadn't used that name for at least thirteen years.
Spider Cave...? Immortal Mingke's eyes flickered slightly: "Isn't the Spider Cave on the Yangshan Islands? I've heard it's the cave of the Spider Queen."
He Lingchuan laughed and said, "Immortal Mingke is indeed very knowledgeable."
As soon as he finished speaking, the scorpion in front of everyone flashed with light and immediately changed from being oily and smooth to being hairy, and its body also swelled up.
The burrowing spider queen's body is covered in bristles, making it appear much larger than a scorpion.
It spoke in a deep, muffled voice: "Immortal Mingke, how have you been?"
Immortal Mingke was taken aback, then clasped his hands in a respectful greeting: "Greetings, Spider Queen. It has been a long time, almost three thousand years, hasn't it?"
"Isn't that right?" Aunt Zhu's face remained expressionless, but her voice was filled with joy. "You survived too, that's wonderful!"
The war between immortals and demons resulted in the deaths of a large number of immortals, not to mention the subsequent ebb and flow of spiritual energy tides.
What an incredibly long three thousand years! For every immortal, surviving is the greatest challenge in the face of time.
Immortal Mingke was unaware that there were two Spider Queens in the Cave, and that Aunt Zhu's true form had already perished in the war between immortals and demons. In any case, since they looked exactly alike, as long as they remained silent and still, even He Lingchuan couldn't tell the two sisters apart.
Time was of the essence, so Venerable Mingyao coughed lightly, interrupting their pleasantries: "What brings you two here?"
Lu Chenxin? Never heard of him. But how could he possibly know how many generals Cang Yan has?
After the Nine Nether Emperor unified the Gold Plains, he rewarded those who had rendered meritorious service, and there were many generals with military achievements.
"Something has happened in the Panlong Desert. The Nine Nether Emperor ordered us to come to its aid, but it turns out it's the Earth Mother attacking." He Lingchuan also got straight to the point. "This prehistoric giant is really difficult to deal with. Why don't we join forces to subdue it? What does Your Majesty think?"
Venerable Mingyao glanced at Immortal Mingke, as if to ask a question, and the latter nodded.
They were like brothers, exchanging information with a single glance. Mingyao asked, "Are these two really from Cangyan?"
Immortal Mingke nodded, because he knew that the Cave Spider Queen had long since pledged allegiance to Cang Yan, and that she was straightforward and disliked lying.
Mingyao Shangzunwei pondered for a moment.
Through the dead leaf butterfly, he indeed saw the person in front of him enter the Panlong Secret Realm.
"Where did you come from?" he asked knowingly. "How come you didn't alert our outer barrier?"
“Panlong Secret Realm.” Straightforwardness is Aunt Zhu’s style. “Didn’t you see us enter the Panlong Secret Realm a long time ago? Since you know the relationship between Panlong Ancient City and Jiuyou, you should also understand that we can travel freely in this desert.”
The fact that they didn't pop their heads out from under the house was already considered polite.
He Lingchuan let it be. In this special period, sincerity is the best weapon.
Mingyao and Mingke exchanged a glance, both of them startled.
The enemy discovered our surveillance cameras set up in the Panlong Ruins?
Panlong Secret Realm's control over the desert is truly remarkable.
Aunt Zhu's words were also a way of showing off her side's strength.
At this moment, another immortal, True Man Chonghui, spoke up: "Why should we cooperate with Cang Yan?"
By stopping the Earth Mother, Cang Yan benefits. What good does this do for Mount Ling?
"Why?" Aunt Zhu glared at him with all her eyes, "So that the 'Yangguan Road' and the Great Square Pot won't fall into the hands of the Heavenly Demon! So that the Holy Venerable Lingxu and the Heavenly Demon won't descend upon the world prematurely! Do we need to say more?"
Master Chonghui immediately shut up.
His question stemmed not only from the arrogance of an immortal, but also from his concern for Venerable Mingyao. Aunt Zhu's reply indicated that Cang Yan also understood the urgency of Lingshan's inability to intervene.
The premise of cooperation is that everyone is anxious.
Venerable Mingyao immediately said, "Very well, we have long wanted to see Cang Yan's abilities. Before you arrived, we were discussing how to enter Yujing City."
Since both sides have to deal with the Earth Mother and the Heavenly Demon, let's fight together.
Aunt Zhu then asked Immortal Mingke, "Do you wish to use the Cardamom Garden?"
The Cardamom Garden is a large-scale storage space for mustard seeds, which is one of the reasons why He Lingchuan chose to cooperate with Lingshan.
Master Mingke nodded: "I brought them with me, and they're more than enough to hold everyone here. The problem now is that we can hide in the Mustard Seed Space, but who can lead us into Jade Capital City?"
The person who managed to slip through must be extremely reliable.
With a wave of his hand, Venerable Mingyao conjured up the city gate of Jade Capital City on the sand table, with the ferocious and conspicuous Qing Tu demon standing in front of the gate.
“This is the Azure Tu Demon. Thirteen hundred years ago, the Earth Mother devoured the Tayang Ruins and also took this Azure Tu Demon under her command. We have tried it several times. This thing is a reliable gatekeeper. It can remember every monster in the city and can not only identify them by sight but also verify their aura.”
Aunt Zhu: "Evil aura?"
“Yes, demonic aura. Every demon's aura is unique, and the Qing Tu Ghost is especially sensitive to living things. Therefore, ordinary disguise spells simply won't work.” Immortal Ming Ke shook his head. “This is a conclusion we reached at the cost of five lives.”
Aunt Zhu glanced at He Lingchuan without showing any emotion.
Excellent, this is the detailed intelligence they wanted. We only have three people on our side, and we can't afford to waste lives on trial and error.
Aunt Zhu thought for a moment: "You've captured quite a few monsters from Jade Capital City, haven't you? What if we use the Bewitching Heart Worm to control the captives and let it bring the Cardamom Garden into the city?"
“No, we’ve tried similar methods. The Azure Tea Ghost Eye has the ability to see through things, and the Bewitching Heart Worm is also a living creature, so it can’t hide anything from its eyes.”
He Lingchuan heard a sneer in his ear; it was Dong Rui's voice transmission: "Oh dear, can't even grow a parasite?"
