Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs-Chapter 324 - 290: Blood Temple Ming King, Hidden Forbidden Land

Chapter 324: Chapter 290: Blood Temple Ming King, Hidden Forbidden Land

The bright moon shone pale, the Celestial River mighty and grand.

The desolate Gobi linked with snow-capped mountain ranges, the cold spring trickled, gathering into streams rushing forth.

The Celestial River Water Mansion, a Forbidden Land in the Northern Border State, originally already situated in a remote area. After the establishment of the Human Race Divine Path and the relocation of border residents to the foot of Chenling Mountain, it closed its doors for cultivation, ignoring worldly affairs.

If it weren’t for the mysterious echoes from time to time from the mystical divine and demon statues of various sizes on the snowy mountaintop across both banks of the Celestial River, no one would believe that such a desolate place would house a large number of demons cultivating.

The night wind lifted the snowflakes, and a graceful figure suddenly appeared standing on a mountaintop, a rhomboid crystal stone on her forehead, quietly watching the sky turning slightly white.

If Zhang Kui were here, he would recognize this girl as the half-demon girl Fu Yu, whom he met during the chaotic demon event in the southwest of Qingzhou.

Whoosh~

The wind howled, and beside her suddenly appeared a Little Demon dressed in monk’s robes, with a head full of white hair and blood-red eyes, actually a snow ermine turned demon, swinging a large tail behind.

"Junior Sister Fu..."

The Little Demon in monk’s robes was filled with curiosity, "I heard you’re an old acquaintance of that Divine Dynasty’s Sect Leader Zhang. Didn’t he eat you back then?"

Fu Yu laughed despite herself, "He’s not a demon, why would he eat me?"

In the cyclical reincarnation of Heavenly Dao, as Zhang Kui’s fame rose, he became known among low-level demon folk as a Demon King who’d eat three demons a day.

Of course, with the establishment of the Divine Dynasty, this superstition was dispelled, but in this remote Celestial River Water Mansion, it still prevailed.

The Little Demon in monk’s robes scratched its head, looking bewildered and puzzled, "I heard there’s a message that he’s going to visit. All the Altar Masters discussed it through the night, and the Water Mansion is filled with anxiety. Could it be he’s going to take action against us?"

"Junior Sister, since you’re familiar with him, could you ask for leniency when the time comes, let me off?"

The half-demon girl Fu Yu shook her head slightly, "That person is ruthless, and back then, we were neither enemies nor friends, so there’s no saying who was an acquaintance. Don’t worry, Altar Master Bonaluo and he have a pretty good relationship, it’s probably for another reason."

"I just have a feeling that the calm of the Celestial River Water Mansion won’t last..."

Saying this, she turned her head to look behind at the Celestial River. The quiet waters were still, and beneath the ancient divine and demon statues by the mountains, were countless temples, with the largest temple lit brightly throughout the whole night.

Inside the grand hall, a hundred-meter-tall Demon Buddha statue, covered in golden scales, with three eyes and tusks, grim-faced, its eyes drooping serenely, seemingly gazing at the beings at its feet.

On the meditation mats of various sizes sat demons dressed in monk’s robes, each different in appearance, their auras floating yet dense, but all with eyes filled with restless anxiety.

"Dragon Flower Altar Master..."

A Wolf Demon, eyebrows and beard all white, spoke with a tone that wasn’t too pleasant, "You said we just needed to make good relations, and we could avoid disturbance. Why is that person coming again?"

The Celestial River Water Mansion had no Mansion Master. Each temple set up a Buddha Altar, and Altar Masters were served by those in the Mahayana Realm. The Four-Eyed Monk Bonaluo from the previous Immortal Path covenant was exactly the Dragon Flower Altar Master.

Bonaluo shook his head slightly, "I also don’t know the purpose of the visit, but rest assured everyone, the Celestial River Water Mansion has already reached an agreement with the Divine Dynasty. Sect Leader Zhang might have other business for his visit."

"That may not be certain."

A Two-headed Snake Demon hissed, sticking out its tongue, sneering, "I heard demons from the Celestial Pavilion are gathering, clearly preparing for a major move. Moreover, everyone knows about the Underworld matter, only we haven’t submitted yet, how could that person be at ease?"

Such words immediately caused an uproar.

"That’s right, the Black River Water Mansion signed a non-aggression pact just slightly later than us, yet that person still took action."

"What he said makes sense."

"In my opinion, why not surrender?"

"What nonsense are you saying..."

Watching the chaos in the hall, the Four-Eyed Monk Bonaluo sighed with his eyes closed, staying silent.

In his heart, he also felt uneasy. In the Immortal Path covenant, Yuan Huang and Bao Wuxin obeyed Zhang Kui, but he, due to his status, moved further and further away. Moreover, with the emergence of the Underworld matter, the Immortal Path covenant was as good as void.

Whether Zhang Kui would take action, he truly wasn’t confident.

Just then, a Buddhist chant suddenly rang out. A figure appeared in the hall, entirely blood-colored, sitting cross-legged in the air.

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly bowed their heads, "Greetings, Ming King..."

...

The long wind surged, the morning sun rose.

Zhang Kui rode atop Fatty Tiger, soaring through clouds and mist, letting the sea of clouds swiftly pass beneath his feet as he leisurely took two sips from a wine pot, pondering while staring ahead.

This world has never been stable; the Heavenly Dao is chaotic, and everyone is striving for self-preservation.

Generations of human dynasties have manipulated Divine Corpses, and even the Forbidden Lands each have their trump cards, vigilantly guarding against each other.

Previously, there was no alternative, but now, if the Divine Dynasty wants to focus on clearing the Underworld, it must first eliminate hidden dangers from the rear.

The Divine Corpse has become a Dharma Guardian General.

In the Four Caves, General’s Tomb and Stone Man Tomb had suppressed the All Heaven Demon Banner, which has been destroyed.

The Desolate Beast eggs from Chai Kingdom became dead objects, and are being manipulated and nurtured into Yin Beasts by the Three-Eyed Giant.

The Spiritual Sect is isolated overseas; according to Bao Wuxin, it’s possible it got lost in the Demon Monarch Hall of the Underworld.

Among the Five Water Mansions, Jingjiang Water Mansion had the stolen Dragon Pearl, which is now in his possession.

The Buddha Mother of Lanjiang Water Mansion was refined.

The Illusory Dream Bronze Mirror in the Black River Water Mansion is untouchable recklessly.

The Water God of Yunmeng Water Mansion was destroyed.

Only this Celestial River Water Mansion remains unknown in its situation.

The purpose of this trip is to clarify this matter. Since the other party gave face back then, he also comes alone, putting diplomacy before force.

Before long, he reached the endless snow mountains of the Northern Border State. Looking down from above, the Celestial River appeared like a giant bright mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds.

A figure suddenly rose accompanied by black smoke, it was the Four-Eyed Monk Bonaluo, who politely cupped his hands and said indifferently, "Sect Leader Zhang, come honored, please follow me."

In his words, there was already a sense of estrangement.

Zhang Kui nodded slightly, not caring. They were originally temporary allies, and now, with crucial matters at hand, there’s no time for petty calculations.
