Cultivation: Being Immortal-Chapter 435:

Zhong State, Tianxian City

Two Tao Achieving members from the Shenmu Sect arrived here. Wu Zilin from the Danxia Sect personally welcomed them and they entered the City Lord’s mansion in Tianxian City.

"Senior Brother Wu, I won’t say much about why I came here. Can you introduce the situation to me?"

"Senior Brother He, I have to admit, I haven’t figured out what’s going on. Do you believe me?"

"Let’s hear it first."

"Alright, three days ago, Xia Qingshan returned. He went back to his shop and many people recognized him. Later, my Danxia Sect disciples brought him back to the City Lord’s mansion here. Our people talked to him. Xia Qingshan has lost a part of his memory, specifically memories of being killed by one of your sect’s disciples. His memories stopped at the point of leaving the city, and afterwards he can’t recall anything. Based on our observations, Xia Qingshan isn’t lying."

"Many people saw him die six months ago, right?"

"More than a hundred people saw it, we asked around twenty or thirty people to confirm, everyone said he really died, body was shattered, Nascent Soul was gone."

"Was the body found?"

"Back then it was just a pile of flesh, long gone."

"The current Xia Qingshan is alive."

"Can’t guarantee, but similar to a living person, we suggested a body check, got rejected, we couldn’t force it."

Wu Zilin said, in such a strange situation, anyone would be scared, moreover, the killer of Xia Qingshan is not from his Danxia Sect, he naturally dares not act recklessly.

"Thank you Senior Brother Wu, can you arrange for us to meet Xia Qingshan?"

"It’s possible, but whether you can meet him or not, it’s not up to us, we have to respect Xia Qingshan’s wishes."

"It should be like this."

Ancestor He nodded. Respect should be given to enemies with equal power, and this Xia Qingshan’s situation is strange, also worthy of their respect.

With Wu Zilin’s introduction, Ancestor He and the two met Xia Qingshan. Just as Wu Zilin said, Xia Qingshan completely forgot about being killed by a disciple of the Shenmu Sect.

"Why did Yu Hailong kill me?"

Xia Qingshan looked suspicious. He did offend Yu Hailong, but he offended many others as well. Some people he couldn’t agree with their fortune telling, so he was bound to make enemies.

This questioning made Ancestor Yu feel a bit uneasy. He does indeed love Yu Hailong very much, causing him to be a bit arrogant. He is very obedient in front of Ancestor Yu, but outside, he is very aggressive.

Ancestor He and the two didn’t know how to explain. The situation was quite awkward, and for a moment they didn’t know what to say. They couldn’t just apologize, they couldn’t lose face in front of the Tao Achieving big shots. They could only be vague and then leave.

"Strange, those two Tao Achieving look like they’re in their prime, but they give off a lifeless feeling, as if their time is almost up."

Xia Qingshan murmured quietly as he watched the two of them walk away, and Wu Zilin’s face changed after hearing this.

······

"Xia Qingshan came back to life."

In Bing State Wangxian Sect, Lin Jiang was shocked to the core when he saw this news.

How is this possible? Xia Qingshan was killed by Void Achieving from Shenmu Sect right in front of his eyes. His body was shattered into pieces. How could he still be alive?

"Master, there’s something chilling about this Xia Qingshan. Three of his curses have already come true, and now he suddenly came back to life. The fact that Danxia Sect has not made any reaction indicates that there’s certainly something unusual about Xia Qingshan."

Li Qing interjected. Xia Qingshan’s curses, Xia Qingshan’s resurrection, these are the biggest news in the cultivation world right now, spreading all over.

"There’s something eerie about him. Who exactly is this Xia Qingshan?"

"Disciple doesn’t know."

"I know you don’t know. I don’t know either. Go create a portrait of Xia Qingshan and gather some information."

Lin Jiang said. As the saying goes, ‘The geese leave a trace, and people leave a mark.’ Xia Qingshan didn’t just appear out of nowhere, there must be clues. It depends on whether Li Qing is competent enough to find them.

"Yes, master."

"You can go busy yourself."

Lin Jiang waved his hand, signaling for Li Qing to leave.

A few days later, Small Shadiao appeared at the Wangxian Sect and told Lin Jiang, "Brother, my father-in-law asked me to pass on a message to you. He wants you to hand over Xia Qingshan’s information to the Demon God Temple."

"Does the Demon God Temple have other sources of information?"

"Of course! Do you know how many humans are captured by the demon tribe in the Wilderness every year? More than half of these captives are cowardly and easily manipulated. The powerful leaders only need to use some enslavement methods to control them. While confidential information may be harder to obtain, common knowledge like this is readily available."

Small Shadiao remarked. The demon tribe isn’t stupid either. How could they rely solely on one source of information? They can acquire public information among humans as well.

"Could they replace my position?"

"That won’t happen, I’m here to protect you. Plus, those prisoners were forced, they didn’t cooperate willingly."

"Be careful, if anyone dares to replace me, they’ll be in trouble."

Lin Jiang said that his expenses were too high, without the Small Shadiao route, he would be poor, so he had to ensure he could benefit from the Wilderness.

"Got it, what should we do about Xia Qingshan?"

"Xia Qingshan is a bit sinister, to be honest, I’m afraid of him."

Lin Jiang honestly said that if it were an ordinary powerful enemy, he wouldn’t be too afraid, he could just run if he couldn’t win. But Xia Qingshan, this guy, can curse.

"I also think he’s very mysterious. I thought the news was fake until I personally went to Bing State to investigate and found out it was true. Is this Xia Qingshan really a ghost?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

"You have to investigate, you have to explain to the Demon God Temple. This time the Demon God Temple is very serious."

"Okay, I’ll try to figure something out, but you need to help too. We might not get news this time."

"Alright, when you see Xia Qingshan next time, can you ask him something for me?"

"What do you want me to ask?"

"Ask who between my family members, Lin Wanli and Lin Fanghua, can become the Demon Emperor. Having two Demon Emperors in the family wouldn’t be bad. Also, find out how many wives I can have, when I’ll meet my true love, and…"

"·····"

Lin Jiang was completely speechless, grabbing Small Shadiao and feeling frustrated. "Are you treating Xia Qingshan like your son? Just ask whatever you want to ask."

"Take this seriously."

"Bro, I am serious. Help me get close to Xia Qingshan, so when my family competes for the title of Demon Emperor, he can use his magic to eliminate some competitors. Once my child becomes the Demon Emperor, what difference would it make to you, Uncle?"

Small Shadiao said solemnly, questioning if he was joking. This was a serious matter as it would help his children secure the position of the Demon Emperor.

"You’re overthinking."

"This is also a way, bro, don’t be so old-fashioned, try it without spending any money."

"What if it costs me my life?"

"It’s not that serious, surviving the battles in the Qing State shows you have good luck, you’ll be fine for sure."

"Get lost, those are your own sons and daughters, why don’t you take the risk yourself?"

"Bro, you have to think this way, if my sons and daughters become Demon Emperors and treat you well, it’s because I’m your younger brother and you’re my older brother. If I die, that bond weakens, right? So I can’t die, I have to stay alive to ensure your benefits."

"That makes sense."

Lin Jiang nodded, then kicked Small Shadiao away with one foot.

This jerk, he’s deceived people to the point where he forgets where he learned this deceiving skill from.

Small Shadiao saw his plan exposed, but he didn’t get angry. After all, it wasn’t the first time he got hit by Lin Jiang. He put on a playful smile again.

Changing the subject, Small Shadiao started talking about the Wilderness demon clan. Recently, the Demon God Temple organized a training session targeting these talented demon clans, making them fight fiercely with the human race entering the Wilderness. Many casualties occurred, which made Small Shadiao very worried about his children.

"Only through wind and rain can the Demon Emperor emerge. Brother, I truly believe the Demon Emperor is about to appear."

Finally, Small Shadiao mentioned that he didn’t quite understand the reason for the change in the mindset of the upper levels of the demon clan. However, the upper levels of the demon clan now value these young demons greatly and are determined to cultivate a Demon Emperor.

"Take care of yourself and practice when you have the time."

Lin Jiang didn’t have much to say about this. Being a human and only at the Soul Changing stage, he couldn’t influence the overall situation of the demon clan. All he could do was strengthen himself and focus on his cultivation.

Small Shadiao agreed verbally, but Lin Jiang knew he was already used to being lazy. It was likely that his advice would go in one ear and out the other. Lin Jiang couldn’t control that, so he let it be.
