Chapter 2583: Black Mud Mountain

g Wilderness, Qin Yan was also uncertain whether Qin Meng and the others were among them.At this time, Lu XiaTian naturally had no need to pay attention to Qin Yan. He went straight back to his territ...Lu Xia Tian's most bountiful gain came from killing Ye Qian Xin's lotus avatar after it had merged with its later stage. The accumulated spirit crystals alone amounted to over 40 million. It's hard to calculate how many years it took Ye Qian Xin's lotus avatar to accumulate such a fortune. Moreover, each year's harvest of spirit crystals had to satisfy its own consumption, and the remaining surplus would be accumulated.

"What conditions" asked the Darkmoon Bat, Kou Jing.

"If one day Daoist Kou is unhappy with how things are going and wants to withdraw, they can leave at any time." Lu Xiaotien said. When it involved a faction, for powerful individuals like him and Kou Jing, it was merely a few simple words. However, down below, it could easily spark bloody turmoil as factions shifted power.

Lingjing was something Lu Xia Tian naturally wanted, but if Kou Jing acted too bloodily, it wouldn't align with his style. Lu Xia Tian didn't want to get involved in this mess.

Buddhists emphasize cause and effect, while Taoists emphasize the cyclical nature of heaven's principles. They both point to the same truth: accumulating unnecessary karma by causing harm will inevitably lead to suffering. This is not what Lu Xia Tian desires.

“That works too, but if Lord Lu Dan wants to leave, I hope he'll let me know in advance. Or, if there’s anything I’ve done that displeases Lord Lu Dan, please let me know so I can correct it. It’s not my wish to be at odds with Lord Lu Dan.”

Kou Jing frowned upon hearing this. Once the stall was set up, Lu Xia Tian's words meant he would leave immediately. This would be extremely disadvantageous for Kou Jing. If his strength didn't match his supposed status, even as a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, he wouldn't be able to hold onto these territories.

"Certainly, this cooperation is limited to territories that directly concern your interests. As for the territory previously controlled by Kou Daoist, it's irrelevant to me," Lu Xia Tian said.

"This is only natural. From now on, Lu Danwang will be one of us. Right now, the most important thing is to take over Jia Xiaolin's territory."

Kou Jing then discussed some details of the cooperation with Lu Xiaoteng, including two medium-sized spirit crystal veins under Jia Xiaolin's command.

“This time, it's truly thanks to Daoist Nan Chen's help. Otherwise, with Lu Dan Wang's arrogance, I'm afraid it would be very difficult to speak to him. After the matter is accomplished, Daoist Nan Chen's share will definitely not be less.” Watching Lu Xiao Tian’s main body leave the Crimson Moon Desert alone, Dark Moon Bat Kou Jing let out a sigh of relief.

"It's because Senior Lu values our past friendship, otherwise with my current strength, I wouldn't be able to reach your doorstep."

Nán Chén Dù shook his head and claimed humility with his words, but inwardly he was not without pride. Back when Lù Xiǎo Tiān was in Yúan Táng, they had a good relationship. Now that Lù Xiǎo Tiān has returned, even those powerful beings at the late stage of the Body Tempering realm who wanted to meet him couldn't get a chance, but he could easily enter and exit the Chī Yuè Wilderness. Directly finding Lù Xiǎo Tiān to commission alchemy, the gap between them was self-evident.

Heilao Mountain, flowing with vast swathes of stagnant water. Stagnant water is a kind of poisonous water that corrodes living beings.

This poison water vaporizes during the day, forming a black haze over Black Mud Mountain. At night, it condenses back into liquid and falls to the ground again.

Ordinary beings who linger in this waterlogged place for too long will have their bones and muscles soften and become as pliable as water. The flow of spiritual energy within them will be hindered. If they do not leave promptly to expel the stagnant water, they will surely die here.

And once floodwater enters the human body in excess, even if it doesn't cause serious harm, it will form an incurable ailment. However, there are no absolutes in life. In this Black Flood Mountain, there are some groups that naturally have resistance to floodwater, including the flood sand ants of this place.

The Loosha Sand Ant can lurk in the stagnant water and mist, its whereabouts hard to find, making it the overlord of this swamp. These Loosha Sand Ants possess an extremely high level of vigilance. There are even powerful cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage within their ranks. Even ordinary cultivators at the late stage of the Nascent Soul would find it extremely difficult to deal with these Nascent Soul Stage Loosha Sand Ants in this complex and treacherous Black Swamp mountain.

An Mo Yaofatu Kou Jing chose to team up with Lu Xia Tian because Jia Xiao Lin previously possessed a treasure that could track the combined-stage Lao Sha Yao Yi, posing a significant threat to these local snakes. This forced the leader of the Lao Sha Yao Yi to submit to Jia Xiao Lin. If it were another late combined-stage monster, these local snakes might not have shown him such deference.

Previously, Lu Xiaoteng had counted Jia Xiaolin's wealth, focusing mainly on the spirit crystals and spirit plants. As for some magic treasures that he didn't need himself, he didn't pay much attention. After being reminded by the Dark Moon Demon Bat Kou Jing, Lu Xiaoteng stirred up a bit and did indeed find a Flooding Shadow Jade Plate. After injecting mana into it, it displayed a dense array of black dots, all of which were low-rank Flooded Sand Demon Ants from this place.

According to this shadow jade disc, Lu Xia Tian spent several days' effort before finding a few large shadows on it.

"Jia Xiaolin is dead. Heklaoshan's tribute, as always, can be paid in the usual fixed amount of spirit crystals." Lu Xiaotian declared loudly, his voice penetrating the mountain's depths.

Since you yourselves refuse to come out, I shall have to invite you out.

Lu Xia Tian did not enter the mountain, but merely stretched out his hand and slashed through the void. In an instant, a huge palm shadow fell, causing the swirling black miasma to scatter to both sides. The ground trembled violently, towering mountains were split in half by this palm force, revealing several canyons hundreds of miles long, with sounds of collapse echoing within. Under Lu Xia Tian's palm, even the towering peak crumbled into dust.

Two dark shadows flashed inside. Leading the pack was a gigantic, azure-purple demon ant, its mandibles twitching restlessly. Its massive eyes stared at Lu Xiaitian, their gaze shifting erratically. A pool of black miasma swirled around it, and behind it stood another slightly smaller demon ant. It seemed that if the situation felt even slightly off, it would immediately flee.

"Are you the Land Dan King" The leading loasha ant, slightly larger than the others, said in a gloomy voice.

"That's right, as I just said, do you agree" Lu Xia Tian looked down at the two leaders of the Luo Sha Ant Demons. These slightly larger figures with strong auras had already reached the middle stage of fusion. Their auras were one with Heisha Mountain, and if not for the Shadow Disc, it would have been difficult for Lu Xia Tian to force these local snakes out.

It's a lot of work and there's no guarantee of a good outcome. Under normal circumstances, Lu Xia Tian wouldn't want to get involved in this mess.

In the chaotic Demon Domain, every Nascent Soul cultivator who controlled a territory had their own unique strengths. Like Lu Xia Tian, who used to take refuge in the Yuandong Sect and later allied with Zhu Xia Shan.

As for now, his power has reached a terrifying level, so no one dares to provoke him easily. Otherwise, Lu XiaTian wouldn't have lived as comfortably in the Red Moon Desert as he does now.

“At first, Jia Xiaolin asked our couple to help him, and it did cost us a certain price. If Lu Danwang is willing to give us some benefits, we can naturally provide Lu Danwang with a fixed share of Spirit Crystals. Don't think that with the Loathing Shadow Jade Disk you can really do anything to our couple. Over these days, our couple has also made quite a lot of preparations. If things really go sour, if we pay some price, we may not be unable to get rid of the constraints of the Loathing Shadow Demon Disk.”

The larger swamp sand ant said.at day, he didn't hold back at all. He fled all the way from the edge of Muye to this place. In the middle, Lu Xia Tian had also recovered quite a bit, otherwise, considering his previous state after...
