Chapter 160 119. Tan Shuchang, favored by snakes
The ancestor of Sword Mountain, Tan Shuchang, knew a little but not much. So when Duan Wuya informed him about the investigation of Heavenly Sword Mansion, Tan Shuchang couldn't help but be somewhat astonished.
Because Nan Jian Su Huan'an, famous in the Jiawu Realm for decades, had unexpectedly been driven out.
He couldn't help but think of what the withered elder had said before leaving. It seemed that it must be this Nan Jian's scheming that was discovered, hence the ancestors of Sword Mountain had forcefully suppressed it.
Or perhaps... he was already dead.
"The Demon Lord needs Inch Jade Efficacy Pills, and our Heavenly Sword Mansion still has a stock of thirty to fifty thousand, all of which can be gifted to the Demon Lord.
Besides that, if the Demon Lord needs anything else that our Heavenly Sword Mansion can do on his behalf, we are also willing to run errands for the Demon Lord." Duan Wuya continued, the first part was already discussed, and the latter, he added on the spot.
Because Tan Shuchang's entrance was too stunning! It was simply like an exiled immortal.
"No work, no pay; I wonder what Family Head Duan wants, or more precisely, what does Heavenly Sword Mansion want?" Tan Shuchang asked with a light laugh, knowing that cooperation could only last if there were mutual benefits, which would make their relationship reliable.
"Has the Demon Lord already confirmed his immortality?" Hearing this, Duan Wuya directly asked, understanding Tan Shuchang's implication, and that was exactly his intent.
"Not yet." Tan Shuchang shook his head and then spoke about the current dangers of achieving immortality.
"So it's that the heavens and earth do not permit?" This wasn't said by Duan Wuya, but by the former Family Head of the Dong family. From beginning to end, he had only greeted Tan Shuchang once, and then it was always Duan Wuya who spoke. It was only after hearing what Tan Shuchang narrated that he couldn't help but speak up.
After all, for a cultivator of his level, this was nothing less than devastating news.
"It's not that the heavens and earth do not permit. I unexpectedly learned that three hundred years of cultivation could exempt most of the cost of confirming immortality." Tan Shuchang said.
However, his current 568 years of cultivation were still insufficient, so Tan Shuchang bought himself three months.
In three months, he was confident he could accomplish eight hundred years of cultivation!
By then, the Demon Realm Giant Handprint would transform into the Transcendent Giant Handprint, annihilating all cultivators in the world.
Upon hearing Tan Shuchang announce the holding of the Sword Mountain Sword Appreciation Ceremony, the people of Heavenly Sword Mansion fell into a moment of silence. A demon cultivator holding this kind of sword appreciation ceremony, and all with top-quality spirit communication magic swords, the intention was entirely obvious!
However, a certain young girl seemed unusually excited about this, her expressionless little face hiding a schadenfreude, fearing the world would not be chaotic.
Therefore, this young girl quietly gave Sword Gentleman a kick.
Caught off-guard by the kick, Sword Gentleman understood and then laughed heartily before saying, "Since Brother Tan Dao has already said so, I will certainly do my utmost to facilitate this!"
This matter wasn't appropriate to be done in the name of Heavenly Sword Mansion, but personally, there was no problem at all.
Moreover, it also fulfilled the promise previously given by Duan Wuya.
"Thank you, Sword Gentleman and Family Head Duan, and Sister Dongdong, as well as all fellow Daoists!" Tan Shuchang stood up, clasped his fists in gratitude, and then amid ascending clouds and mist, vanished like the wind without a trace.
This was naturally him leaving using the Soaring Clouds and Mist Divine Power.
"The Demon Lord approaches an Immortal indeed!" The old Family Head Dong couldn't help but express his admiration. Although he was much older than Tan Shuchang, at this moment, his address of "Demon Lord" was uttered with heartfelt respect, and then he looked at a certain young girl with a smile in his eyes.
Following, he also looked approvingly at his son, unmistakably pleased with Sword Gentleman's earlier performance.
