Chapter 467: The Thirty-Year Layout, Killing Qian Ya
The communication device has been in existence for over thirty years.
Under the oppression of the Divine and Demon Clans, many teachers at Mountain River Academy left.
At the same time, without the support of the Demon Court, the lives of the Human Clan became increasingly difficult.
Because they had once opposed the Demon Clan, no powerful faction dared to shelter the numerous teachers from Mountain River Academy.
To earn resources for daily cultivation, these teachers could only share some techniques on the Qilin Communication Device.
…
Thirty years since the communication device appeared.
The foundational techniques had spread completely throughout the Nine Domains, and the chasm between the talented and the mediocre became harder to cross.
The lower-ranking cultivators in the Nine Domains gradually stabilized, but the situation among the upper ranks was fraught with hostility.
The Divine Clan and the Demon Clan launched manhunts for those who had once followed the Peacock Young King.
Even Sui Feng was hunted down, and it was only thanks to the Qilin Communication Alliance’s intervention that he was saved.
None of these matters affected Chen Changsheng, who was busy doing business peacefully.
…
Thirty years since the communication device appeared.
The conflict between the “New Era” and the Divine and Demon Clans had reached its peak.
One day, while out, Qian Ya, a core member of the “New Era,” was stopped in her tracks.
“What do you want?”
Seeing the three coffins blocking her path, Qian Ya furrowed her brow.
At the same time, two experts in the Rebirth Realm stood protectively behind her.
Hearing this, a voice emerged from one of the coffins.
“This world does not need the ‘New Era,’ nor does it need the ‘Qilin Communication Device.'”
“I must say, your methods of making money are impressive, but without real strength, you are ultimately nothing but ants.”
Upon hearing this, Qian Ya laughed.
“Do you think you can k*ll me? Have you weighed your chances?”
“Without absolute certainty, we will not act,” came the reply.
As the words fell, the coffin lid slowly opened, and a dry corpse rose.
“Whoosh~”
The “dry corpse” opened its mouth, sucking in vast amounts of spiritual energy from the heavens and earth.
Its body visibly swelled, eventually transforming into a dark-skinned middle-aged man.
“Ha~”
The middle-aged man let out a comfortable groan and smiled at Qian Ya.
“I know you are waiting for someone; you’re waiting for Chen Changsheng to rescue you.”
“But unfortunately, he has no intention of saving you right now.”
“As an undertaker, he is proud; having lost in this era, he absolutely will not act.”
“In his eyes, you are merely a group of expendable tools.”
Upon hearing this, Qian Ya expressed her surprise: “Is that young master the undertaker?”
Seeing her reaction, the middle-aged man paused for a moment, then laughed.
“It seems you don’t know his identity yet; however, that makes sense, as he always enjoys being mysterious.”
“When I was in charge of the Mighty Donkey Clan, I had dealings with him.”
“To be honest, he really enjoys the air of mystery.”
Hearing this, Qian Ya’s lips twitched, then she looked down at the communication device in her hand and said, “Um, I’m just someone who settles accounts. I’m not really good at this.”
“You should talk to him.”
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man turned to see Sui Feng and others slowly approaching.
Noticing the core members of the “New Era” arriving, the middle-aged man remained unfazed, instead smiling and saying, “Your talents are indeed admirable, but in my eyes, they are nothing special.”
“Do you know why I have become this half-human, half-ghost appearance?”
“Because I am avoiding Thunder Tribulation, which means I am a Heavenly Prodigy.”
“The gap in strength between us cannot be bridged by mere emperor artifacts.”
“Now that the fortune of the Demon Court has been grasped by me, Thunder Tribulation will no longer be a constraint; you should just obediently accept your fate.”
Upon hearing this, Sui Feng looked at the middle-aged man and said, “Ma Riri, the ancestor of the Mighty Donkey Clan.”
“Before the Battle of Extinction, you were at the peak of the Immortal Sovereign Realm.”
“After all these years, you must have reached the Immortal King Realm by now.”
“Yes, if it weren’t for being hindered by Thunder Tribulation, this Crimson Realm wouldn’t be a place for you to go wild.”
“I was originally planning to wait for Chen Changsheng to find a way for us to overcome Thunder Tribulation before dealing with you.”
“But you have been too mischievous, so I had to come personally to deal with you.”
As he spoke, Ma Riri looked towards an empty space and said, “Come out, you can’t possibly not be present when your own kind is killed.”
With that, Xu Mao, Moon Shadow, and others stepped out.
Everyone’s appearance was expected by Ma Riri, but when the last person emerged from the void, Ma Riri was taken aback.
“Tsk tsk!”
“It’s not our first meeting; why are you so flustered?”
“Remember how Hu Qiuyue used to curse you? The most frequent line was, ‘I’ll skin you and use your hide to make donkey hide gelatin!’”
“In my eyes, the best you can be is donkey hide gelatin.”
“A donkey is still a donkey, without an ounce of brain.”
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng clapped his hands, and countless powerful formation patterns emerged, forcing all those hiding in the void to reveal themselves.
Seeing Chen Changsheng’s actions, Ma Riri frowned and said, “Chen Changsheng, you’ve already lost; are you really determined to tear the facade?”
Upon hearing this, the previously serious Chen Changsheng suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard he nearly doubled over.
“Hahaha!”
“A donkey is still a donkey; even now you can’t tell who has lost and who has won. This cracks me up.”
Then Chen Changsheng waved in Ma Riri’s direction.
Next, three young individuals emerged from Ma Riri’s camp.
“Let me introduce you formally; this is Ma Hu, Ma Guang’s younger cousin, a promising member of the Mighty Donkey Clan.”
“This is Yang Jian, a top prodigy of the Three-Eyed Divine Clan.”
“This is Kong Xuan, the traitor you planted beside the Little Ming Wang.”
Seeing this scene, Ma Riri became somewhat anxious.
“You heretics, are you going to betray your own race?”
Hearing these words, Ma Hu shook his head and said, “Ancestor, we have never betrayed our race; we are just powerless.”
“In today’s battle, even if we lose our lives, we won’t have any effect.”
“The only thing we can do is watch from the sidelines.”
After speaking, the three young men quietly moved to the back of Chen Changsheng’s group.
Looking at Ma Riri’s grim expression, Chen Changsheng smiled and said, “You probably still don’t understand how you lost.”
“Out of respect for our past acquaintance, let me clarify a bit for you.”
“Since I decided to change this Crimson Realm, I have been afraid of you.”
“I fear that you would drag the future of this realm down with you; this fragile realm cannot withstand any major upheaval.”
“So I spent thirty years making you all true loners.”
