Chapter 356: 207, the unpredictable Demon Cultivator is being unpredictable again_2

“Some insight at last, you who are oblivious to death, retreat now or our owner, who also hails from the Loose Cultivators, will not be here for what you seek! If you linger, don’t blame me for being rude! The Sudden Shake Talisman Art—I can still summon three more of them!” the Cultivator who had activated the Talisman coldly shouted out.

“This...”

Upon hearing this, the complexions of many Cultivators on the spot drastically changed. Three Sudden Shake Talismans were enough to leave all of them behind here.@@@@

However, their only relief was that since the Sudden Shake Talisman does not differentiate between friend and foe, the other party would not activate a second one unless absolutely necessary.

Although the techniques of these Cultivators were quite crude, they were still in the Land of the Four Pillars, so they knew quite a bit about some of the common and formidable techniques.

The strengths and drawbacks of the Sudden Shake Talisman Art were well known by many Cultivators here.

The advantage was its formidable killing power; aside from the Immortals, there were few Cultivators who could withstand it with their mortal bodies alone.

The drawback was that by using this Talisman Art, one could easily become an internal enemy.

Because there was a certain chance it would kill allies as well.

“We’re leaving!”

Someone spoke up, and quickly, Cultivators responded, and in a short while, at least a third of the Cultivators had left the place.

And this also made the Cultivators who remained breathe a sigh of relief.

“Big Brother Zhang, it’s good that you used the Sudden Shake Talisman!” A Cultivator couldn’t help but blurt out right away.

As this Cultivator spoke, his face was filled with a hue of relief.

He was relieved not only that the disciples under the “Ning” and “Jun” Immortals had retreated and they had survived this siege, but also that the Sudden Shake Talisman had not eradicated them as well.

“Unless it was absolutely necessary, I wouldn’t have wanted to use this Talisman!” The Cultivator called “Big Brother Zhang” replied with a bitter smile.

Then, he called out to those around him, “Everyone, let’s quickly pack up and hit the road, aiming to enter the city as soon as possible so our owner can come to meet us!”

The rest of the Cultivators had no objections to this decision.

And Tan Shuchang, who had witnessed this peculiar battle, mused with speculation in his eyes because his senses told him there were several other skirmishes like this within a million miles.

Hence, feeling that something was amiss, Tan Shuchang no longer concealed his form. He manifested directly and took out the Token that represented the Mang Mountain Heavenly Ghost Ridge Patrol Envoy.

“Mang Mountain Patrol Envoy, greetings to all fellow Daoists! Fellow Daoists, when I visited another domain some days ago, why do I find the situation in this spiritual domain a bit peculiar today upon my return?” Tan Shuchang briefly clarified his identity.

“So it’s Tan Brother; may I ask why Tan Brother has come to my Mysterious Black Mountain?” Xuan Li had sensed that it was Tan Shuchang approaching long before his arrival.

Because Tan Shuchang did not disguise himself and simply walked up the mountain step by step.

And with such great etiquette, it was only proper for Xuan Li to wait by the door to welcome him.

After all, it was clearly a visit and not a search for trouble.

“Tan Someone is bothering Xuan Li, the Daoist friend because after some days of seclusion, Tan found this Lingyu mystery somewhat inscrutable,” Tan Shuchang expressed his heart’s doubts, “Is it just because Ning Shuqi and Junzi Mo made a move once, that the Lingyu area’s cultivators responded so readily? And those cultivating families are also retreating in succession?”

Before coming to Mysterious Black Mountain, he first visited a city under the Nangong Family’s rule and discovered chaos within the city, with no trace of the Nangong Family to be seen.

The cultivator he knew by the name Red Lotus was also not in the city.

Her cave abode was firmly closed, with a sign hanging that read “In seclusion for a hundred years.”

After that, Tan Shuchang went to the state of Qieguo, a small country of mortals. The ruling class of this mortal country was still there, but they were completely unaware of the strange situation in the Lingyu region.

Thus, this led to Tan Shuchang’s trip to Mysterious Black Mountain.

“Tan Brother might not know this, but Ning Shuqi and Junzi Mo are no ordinary Immortals. According to a Daoist brother who observes qi, the destinies of these two are embodied in purple-gold, vast like pillars, soaring straight into the sky. Such destinies could very well be that of True Immortals descending to go through tribulation,” Xuan Li said.

“True Immortals descending to go through tribulation?” Tan Shuchang naturally did not agree with such a conclusion; after all, if they were really True Immortals, how could they have been so thoroughly crushed by him in Shenxu Heaven?

The Secluded Spring Blood Demon, although ultimately dying at his hand, had displayed commendable strength.

Because that was the most difficult one Tan Shuchang had ever killed.

However, disagreeing as he was, Tan Shuchang would not express it aloud, and he purposefully showed a look of surprise.

Thinking that Tan Shuchang was hearing about the concept of True Immortals descending to go through tribulation for the first time, Xuan Li, wanting to impress, explained: “Tan Brother, though the True Immortals reside above the Four Pillars, they cannot dwell in the Primordial Heavenly Realm permanently by merely entering it. Every so often, some True Immortals need to descend and face tribulation. After passing the tribulation, such True Immortals can ascend back to their places and return to the Primordial Heavenly Realm to enjoy endless celestial blessings.”

“Every time True Immortals descend to face tribulation, it leads to the destruction of some cultivating families, so as time goes on, those cultivating families choose to avoid encountering such events. It’s not just them; even we close our cave abodes’ doors tightly and quietly wait for the end of the True Immortals’ tribulation.”
