Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength

Chapter 183: The Long River Soaring Across the Sky, Nine Bends Unbeatable (Part 1)



This cultivator named Ren Yuehong, who was at the Foundation Establishment stage, was a well-known oddball. He usually lingered among flowers and had many romantic affairs. However, he didn't harm others and possessed a pair of eyes adept at catching details and seeing through deceptions, and so forth, which is why he managed quite well.

This time, he had been invited to see if the various scenarios displayed by the Moon-Watching Sect were fabricated or not.

Although the conditions proposed by the Five Directions Tower were tempting, it did not mean everyone was actually ready to make a big gamble. What if they failed, and how would they deal with a hoisted great white shark?

After observing carefully for a few days, Ren Yuehong gave his conclusion.

"And there's Bu Shixian, that woman is extremely proud. Don't be fooled by her valiant and graceful appearance, her slim waist, and long legs, making her look like a stunning beauty, and think she is easy to bully. But in reality, she is truly proud and aloof. Countless people have pursued her, yet she dismissed them all, not willing to rely on anyone, which is why she has been single for so long. But look at her now; what's her attitude towards Meng Yu?

Though it's not the look of seeing a sugar daddy, it's still like that of a dear little brother, 'I've got your back, congratulations on your good fortune with Bai Qianqian, and honestly, I'm a bit jealous.' (Bu Shixian and Meng Yu's relationship had grown very close, she was stunned by Meng Yu's extravagance, with gifts of Second Order and Third Grade never ceasing. She felt both embarrassed and deeply regretful, even the most generous friends became stingy once married, and how could she not be envious of Bai Qianqian snagging such a fine 'gold pig'?)"

This so-called flower enthusiast named Zhen Chenxing, excitedly narrated his observations.

Master Lin may have been deceived, and the Five Directions Tower could be fooled, but according to his observations, the Moon-Watching Sect was as solid as Mount Tai. They were simply not afraid of the Five Directions Tower. A prime example, just look at their relationships between men and women, everyone appeared refreshed and clear-headed, you would know...

"Shut up!"

A true person of the Five Directions Tower could no longer hold back and almost drew his sword to slay this fool.

Everyone originally thought they could delay for a few more days, but now, they had already held the wedding ceremony. Was the Five Directions Tower expected to wait until they had children before acting?

On the water screen, Bai Qianqian, filled with happiness, clung to Meng Yu's arm, her smile radiant like flowers at this moment.

...

The day following Meng Yu and Bai Qianqian's wedding, the attack from the Five Directions Tower officially began.

It was not out of politeness, but rather, it was on the second day that the surrounding spirit veins were finally severed.

As a skilled swordsman, Meng Yu should have joined the battle. Sadly, he was bound by Bai Qianqian's strict order to stay put in the safest place within the sect and not take a single step outside.

'With you here, the line holds. If something were to happen to you, all would be lost.'

Alright then, having previously always been on the front line as a main force, Meng Yu now had to stay in the command center, acting as a mascot.

"Uncle Meng, please drink some tea."

The speaker was a cat demon, who, during her break, ran to Meng Yu with a smile, diligently offering him delicacies, her long tail swaying seductively, stirring hearts.

Ji Qiaoer stood expressionlessly beside, as if nothing was happening.

Such incidences had become too frequent recently, and you couldn't say she was seducing Meng Yu.

Well, the Moon-Watching Sect was currently in an excess of females to males. More importantly, after realizing how amiable and approachable Meng Yu was, the female demons had grown bolder.

In the Demon Race, it was natural to submit to the strong. Although Meng Yu wasn't a powerhouse, he had slain the Foundation Establishment genius swordsman Huang Tianxiang during his Qi Cultivation, had a Deity-Transforming Honored One backing him, and most importantly, there was only Bai Qianqian by his side.

This was simply... too wasteful!

Within the Demon Race, a strong individual often had dozens of wives and concubines. As for someone like Meng Yu, who had been chaste and played true love with Bai Qianqian and only married now, the only thought on everyone's mind was, 'Sister Qianqian, Auntie, could we perhaps help warm your feet?'

At first, everyone was afraid Bai Qianqian would get jealous, so they came up with all sorts of nonsense excuses, such as 'wasted resources shouldn't benefit outsiders,' or 'we're just cuddling,' 'we're just pets,' and so forth. But when they realized how little Bai Qianqian controlled Meng Yu and how fearful and submissive she was, these ladies started gazing at Meng Yu with longing eyes.

Of course, they wouldn't blatantly seduce him, but such yearning glances were not uncommon.

Drinking the tea, Meng Yu paid no attention to the little imp's intentions. It wasn't that he was a paragon of virtue; he was, after all, a carnivore. In the Immortal Sect, he had spent several merry days after the league matches, and within the Great Tang Plane, apart from the Liu Qingshuang sisters, his harem had several stunning women!

But now was not the time for that.

The battle outside was fierce, and this was Meng Yu's first experience with Formation offensive and defensive tactics.

Five Directions Tower had finally cut off the Spirit Veins outside of the Moon-Watching Sect, believing the situation was set in stone, but when Bai Qianqian had chosen this location, she valued the original existence of Spirit Veins here, and she had put a lot of effort into drawing them up from underground, then set up the Long River Nine Bends Array.

This stream of water was vast and mighty, encircling the Moon-Watching Sect. However, from the outside, it seemed much weaker, as if it would break with one poke.

The six individuals from the Five Directions Tower, including the four true masters and two external Golden Core helpers, charged straight in.

All of them were Cultivators of the Human Race, fully trained in the spiritual tower's sacred text, with rich combat experience. Coupled with a team of eighty-nine Foundation Establishment Cultivators, their combined assault was overwhelming and unstoppable.

Formations, in principle, focus on blocking five with one, but in reality, outside of the Long River Nine Bends Array, numerous attacks distracted the formation. The Long River Nine Bends Array was a long-standing formation, and everyone was already well-versed in its various changes.

This time, they were filled with confidence.

But when they charged in, breaking through one formation eye after another, they found something very wrong. A long river, suspended high in the sky, transformed the surrounding dozens of miles into an endless Heavenly River.

Typically, the Long River Nine Bends Array would at most have five or six crucial changes, but Bai Qianqian's formation was completely different. Her "Nine Bends" did not mean nine in number, instead, it indicated extremity in abundance.

The Long River Nine Bends Array, an Ancient Grand Formation, had been overly complex to arrange and thus was repeatedly reduced, modified, and simplified. Many mocked this Great Formation as ordinary, unaware that it was the foundational skill of the Jade Rabbit Family for establishing and protecting themselves.

Using a damaged Fourth-Order Formation Diagram as the nucleus, combined with Bai Qianqian's Magical Treasure, accumulated talismans, drawn Spiritual Energy, and more, it inherently made for an extremely powerful defense. It wasn't because of her kindness that Bai Qianqian remained quietly in the Moon-Watching Sect and was spared by everyone; it was rather those who were unkind and came to capture her who were buried by her.

For example, the bear headskin outfit Bai Qianqian wore during the robbery at the Immortal Sect—the notorious thief Xiong Da was long buried beneath the mountain. The reason was that he had charged up the mountain, declaring he wanted to spend a lovely night with Bai Qianqian, only to be killed by the Long River Nine Bends Array instead.

Unlike those others who liked to bare their fangs and brandish their claws, when Bai Qianqian killed someone, she did not make a fuss. She would only bury the adversary sorrowfully, pray for them, and have her disciples carry items belonging to the deceased, creating the illusion that they were still alive. This included sending the belongings back to the families of the deceased, who, in turn, would keep the death of their elder a secret.

In this way, no one knew of Bai Qianqian's ruthlessness, after all, her appearance and demeanor were far from cruel.

In daily life, she would dress the Moon-Watching Sect in shambles, making it appear that the Long River Nine Bends Array was no different from any other place.

However, her few real friends knew one thing: if they ever ran into danger, they should run towards Bai Qianqian's location, for it was the safest!

This already formidable Great Formation had encountered Meng Yu and received generous support from the Immortal Sect, being reinforced numerous times. Now, could the six Golden Cores from the Five Directions Tower break the formation?

The Ten Directions Wind and Rain Banner raised a sky-filled mist of ice, with dense white fog pervading the air, blotting out the sun and obscuring Divine Sense, while also possessing a strong corrosive quality that penetrated everything.

The Taiwei Dark Moon Hook seized souls and stole lives imperceptibly, often silently killing a person without any sign.

Three Treasure Mirrors reflected in all directions, with endless tricks like illusions, splitting, and explosions emerging, but never able to find the true body.

Long rivers stood in front of the individuals from the Five Directions Tower, and after breaking through each time, there were still more to see.

Various Second Order Magical Treasures, connected to the Earth's Spirit Energy according to their attributes, turned each formation eye into a fire point, continuously pouring out attacks.

Kuishui Divine Thunder, Frost Ice Explosion Thunder, Sinking Yin Thunder, and more, rained down intermittently, along with the inherent offensive power of the Magical Treasures themselves, making them unpredictable.

Less than a quarter of an hour into the Great Formation, the six Golden Cores from the Five Directions Tower started to feel uneasy. Their original plan was never to scatter, to bravely rush forward, but what was the use of even the sharpest head of a spear if it only flailed at the earth and sky in vain?

Was this the Long River Nine Bends Array? They had never seen such a disgusting formation before, simply layer upon layer, endlessly intertwined, as their disciples fell one by one—these were the elites of the Five Directions Tower.

The turning point came after half an hour when one of the Golden Cores tried to save several disciples and suddenly Bu Shixian burst out from the formation, aided not only by Kuishui Divine Thunder and the Ten Directions Mist and Rain Banner but also by the Nine Heavens Thunder and Lightning accumulated by Bai Qianqian and Hua Miaochai's Five Elements Peach Blossom Umbrella with its reversal of Yin and Yang.

For three hundred years, Hua Miaochai and Bai Qianqian had been inseparable as sisters. Their cooperation was seamless. The thunder and lightning mingled with various Divine Thunders, amid the rotation of the Five Elements Peach Blossom Umbrella and the transformation of Yin and Yang, drew an exceedingly twisted arc, and struck solidly on the Golden Core Master.

At the same time, there was the sword of Bu Shixian.

Countless times Bu Shixian had persuaded her two great sisters to join her in burglary, asserting that the three of us together were absolutely invincible—Bai Qianqian was incredibly fast, her formations astute, Hua Miaochai's illusion techniques astonishing, with the strongest support. Together we would get rich, and even in death, we'd die together.

Regrettably, the two cowards repeatedly refused, until now, when the three of them truly joined forces, executing the tactics they had practiced countless times.

After all the attacks, it was Bu Shixian's incredibly sharp sword!

A streak of cold gleam arrived in an instant!
