Seeking Immortality

When Mantian came out of the "Kunling Sect", in addition to the three evil immortals and more than ten flying generals, there were three more people including Kunning Zhenren behind him, and more than a hundred disciples of the original "Kunling Sect". Of course, they are now disciples of the "Bahuang Palace", and those who were unwilling have already turned into corpses, and other people in the "Kunling Sect" did not even dare to bury these corpses.

On the other hand, Kunning Zhenren was much calmer than the disciples of the former "Kunling Sect" because Mantian promised him a position as an evil immortal in the "Eight Desolations Palace" and the other two elders also had positions as flying generals. At this time, they were following Mantian closely. Just now, Mantian promised that he could increase their strength immediately, and even Kunning Zhenren's cultivation might be above the current twelve evil immortals. In the near future, they would have a more glorious and prominent position than now. Looking at the expressions of these three people at this time, it seems that they have regarded themselves as cultivators of the "Eight Desolations Palace". They look like they are planning for the "Eight Desolations Palace" wholeheartedly. Not only did they offer all the accumulated treasures of the "Kunling Sect" for thousands of years, they also kept asking Mantian carefully on the way about how the "Eight Desolations Palace" would develop in the future. Previously, a disciple of the former "Kunling Sect" said something contemptuous of the "Eight Desolations Palace", but he was seriously injured by Kunning Zhenren himself.

Mantian smiled faintly from beginning to end. To be honest, he was not sure whether Kunning had really surrendered to his "Eight Desolations Palace" wholeheartedly. At least Mantian knew that the reason why Kunning taught the arrogant disciple a lesson was just to prevent the other three evil immortals from taking action. If the three evil immortals took action, the disciple would not be seriously injured.

However, Mantian did not care about this. He would arrange for Kunning to accept the transformation of the "Ashura Statue". Just like him and every disciple of the "Eight Desolations Palace", but the "Ashura Statue" is not just a function of transforming immortals and improving their cultivation and supernatural powers. Mantian, who controls the "Ashura Statue". He has his own means to control those cultivators who have been transformed by the "Ashura Statue". So in Mantian's view, whether Kunning is loyal at this time is not very important. What is important is that after being transformed by the "Ashura Statue", he will definitely be loyal to the "Eight Desolations Palace".

When Mantian led his men to the outside of the "Kunling Sect", the smile on his face became even stronger, because outside the gate of the "Kunling Sect", Mandi, the second hall master of the "Eight Desolations Palace", was quietly waiting with some people. Among those people, some were familiar evil immortal flying generals to Mantian, and some were unknown to him, but they still stood respectfully behind Mandi.

Mantian knew that the "Jiue Gate" near the "Kunling Sect" was also officially incorporated into the "Eight Desolations Palace" under Mandi's means.

When most of the powerful sects in the world were concentrated near Ronghua Mountain where the "Qingxu" were located and were unable to control other places, they invaded the prosperous Middle Earth on a large scale. Try your best to absorb all the sects or monks who are still staying in place and are not strong into the "Eight Desolations Palace". Then use the "Shura Statue" to transform these monks, strengthen their strength and make them loyal to the "Eight Desolations Palace" to cope with the upcoming suppression of the Righteous Alliance, or even a showdown.

This method is very simple, but also very effective.

Mandi's image is very different from Mantian's. He is dressed in Confucian clothes and has an elegant demeanor. But the tattoos on his face make him look a little weird.

Mantian and Mandi are very polite to those who have come to him, such as Kunning Zhenren. Their goal is to dominate the world of immortal cultivation, not to run rampant in it. So when they introduced each other, they were very polite, which made Kunning Zhenren and others feel relieved.

Then, Mantian and Mandi walked together alone and chatted with each other, while the others also knew what to do and fell far behind.

"Just now, Manye sent a message that the Jiugong Sect he was in charge of was also incorporated into my Bahuang Palace. The other five people have not received any news because the sects they went to are a little far away, but I think they are just some small sects, so there won't be any accidents."

Mandi introduced softly.

Mantian nodded, as if the news did not make him very excited, and there was even a trace of worry in his eyes.

However, Mandi did not notice the abnormality in Mantian's eyes, and still said: "When the tasks of the other five junior brothers are all completed, my Bahuang Palace will be able to occupy the entire western part of the prosperous Middle-earth. It's ridiculous that those so-called major sects actually gave up the century-old foundation passed down by their ancestors because they were afraid of catastrophes, and instead sought the protection of the Righteous Alliance. I really don't know what they think."

Mantian still listened quietly without responding.

After such a long time, Mandi was loyal to Mantian and his attitude was different. He couldn't help asking: "Brother Mantian, what's wrong with you? Do you have any concerns?"

Mantian shook his head slightly and said softly: "Mandi, you are too optimistic. As you said, the western part of the prosperous Middle-earth is already under our control. My Bahuang Palace has finally gained a foothold in the prosperous Middle-earth and got what we have always wanted. It seems to be a good situation, but it is not."

After a pause, Mantian continued: "Although the west side of the prosperous Middle Earth is already within our sphere of influence, that is because the most powerful sects in the world of immortality are not in the west, and the slightly stronger sects , all fled to the Righteous Alliance, and all we surrendered were a few small shrimps. But because of this, the Righteous Alliance became stronger, and after we took control of the prosperous Central Land, we We have also fallen into a bottleneck, with the Five Elements Sect in the north, the Kuxiu Valley in the south, and Jiuhua Mountain in the east, not to mention the Righteous Alliance, the * Gate, and Ciyun Temple in the middle. If we continue to expand, we will seriously want to compete with those of the Righteous Path. Shisheng had a head-on conflict."

After hearing Mantian's worries, Mandi smiled indifferently and said lightly: "What's the matter? Conflict with those so-called righteous ways and cause this catastrophe in the world of immortality in the first place is not our purpose. ? Besides, with the statue of Shura, if those little shrimps are transformed, their strength will not necessarily be much weaker than those of the famous and decent monks. Even if there is a head-on conflict, we are not afraid. Besides, aren't the Ming and Zhong families coming soon? Will you be born? When the time comes, there will be chaos in the world of immortality. We will just cause this catastrophe first."

Mantian shook his head with a wry smile. Although Mandi was good at cultivation and liked to show off his elegant appearance, he was from the Barbarian tribe after all, so he saw things too simply.

Just listen to Mantian slowly say: "Mandi, don't forget, the reason why we cooperate with Ming is just to seek a living space. Now that our strength has greatly increased, although we have the determination to dominate the world of immortality, but that It is also based on the fact that our strength is still there. But Ming now wants us to fight with the Righteous Alliance. If we cause catastrophe, we will be targeted by the Righteous Alliance at any time. If it is just the Righteous Alliance, I will not be afraid. What we are worried about are the old guys who control the Righteous Alliance. They are the masters of the Mahayana period. Even if we are transformed by the statue of Shura, we may not be the opponents of those old guys. "

When Mantian said this, Mandi seemed to have figured out something, but seemed to have figured out nothing at all. He asked doubtfully: "You mean..."

Mantian said slowly: "Whether we, Bahuang Palace, want to seek a living space or dominate the world of immortality, we have initially achieved our goal. Even if we are used by the underworld, we are still willing to do so. Because this is based on our On the basis of consistent interests with Ming, but going forward, our goals are different from Ming's, and from now on, we can no longer be so willing to be used by Ming. "

As he spoke, a gleam flashed in Mantian's eyes, and he said slowly: "Even if we just want to seek a living space in the future, our enemies will not only be the Righteous Alliance, the Zhong Family, Zhang Xusheng, or even Ming is the goal that we will defeat in the future. Now that we have taken refuge under Ming, it does not mean that our Bahuang Palace will always be controlled by Ming. If Ming makes us fight desperately, will we wait? Really do it? Fighting for survival is putting the cart before the horse.”

A look of surprise and admiration flashed in Man Di's eyes. He was indeed not as far-sighted as Man Tian, ​​and he couldn't help but ask: "What do you mean, we will gather our forces from now on, preserve our strength, and not compete with the Righteous Alliance?" , wait for the Zhong family and Ming to come out one after another, and take advantage of the chaos? "

Mantian shook his head again and said slowly: "No, although we have annexed more than a dozen small sects, and transforming them with the statue of Shura can be said to have greatly increased their strength, but it's like we are not part of the Righteous Alliance yet. Like our opponents, we are not Ming's opponents. It is unreasonable to defy Ming now, so we must not only fight against the Righteous Alliance as Ming demands, but also preserve our strength."

With that said, Mantian glanced at Master Kunning behind him again. Seeing Mantian like this, Mandi, who was still a little confused at first, suddenly realized that people like Master Kunning who had come to take refuge in him would take the lead and serve as cannon fodder after being transformed. , while Mantian, the direct lineage elders of the "Eight Desolate Palaces", conserved their strength. This not only left "Ming" speechless, but also preserved the true strength of the "Eight Desolate Palaces" to prepare for continued chaos in the future.

After Mandi praised him, he hesitated and said hesitantly: "Senior Brother Mantian, there is one more thing about Huangxie."
