“Actually, it’s not the case,” said the Heavenly Heart Seventieth Generation. “The Penglai Immortal seemed to have suffered an irreversible injury during the contest for the rightful heir of that place, becoming extraordinarily weak, which gave the Penglai Treasury’s owner a chance to exploit. In fact, the owner of the Penglai Treasury himself was not in a good state either, surely also gravely injured, otherwise my Clothed Daoist group would not have been able to guard the entrance and exit of the treasury peacefully all these years…”

“Xiao Shengmo,” Long Xiruo suddenly said, “Is Xiao Shengmo helping you… does he know all about this?”

The Heavenly Heart Seventieth Generation said, “I only told him that the Penglai Treasury sealed an ancient era’s Fiend inside, which absolutely cannot be allowed to awaken, or else China will face a catastrophe of overturning. Lord Xiao was warmhearted and immediately agreed to help me obtain another part of the Heavenly Heart from the treasury. However, the Penglai Treasury is fraught with danger, depending on Lord Xiao alone, it might be difficult to accomplish… Lord Long, this is the cause and effect of why I had Lord Xiao send you to the Tower of Myriad Ghosts.”

Long Xiruo suddenly let out a cold laugh, “So Xiao Shengmo rescued your lone soul, healing you in the Tower of Myriad Ghosts. You indeed are bold, using the claim of an ancient Fiend to destroy the world to fool him. You Clothed Daoists are really capable, casually spouting nonsense and having people believe it’s true!”

The Heavenly Heart Seventieth Generation had no choice but to say, “Lord Xiao is also one of Penglai’s pursuers… if this were to be confessed, it would undoubtedly involve shady dealings the Clothed Daoists have done over the years. Now, because of the reckless behavior of the Seventy-first Generation, the Clothed Daoist is already in a precarious situation. If this truth were to be exposed again… Lord Long, although I am left with only a trace of soul, I once assumed the position of Heavenly Heart Seventieth Generation, and do not wish for the sect’s legacy to be severed like this. Moreover, the owner of the Penglai Treasury seeks to become unique, indeed needing to sacrifice the whole world, this is fact, calling it a Fiend, aiming to destroy the world isn’t actually a lie…”

Long Xiruo continued to coldly laugh, “But if you tell me, can it resolve?”

The Heavenly Heart Seventieth Generation said earnestly, “Lord Long cares for China’s balance… If we take a step back, does Lord Long truly wish to see Penglai existing in reality, with the Dao and Demon Realms reaching Penglai? Nowadays is the era of humanitarianism, as the embodiment of China’s ley line, you should understand more than anyone else… Once the Dao Monster resurrects, it equates to reversing China’s fate, and what benefit would it have for you? Why not let Penglai remain a legend, giving the Dao Monster an unattainable yet persistent dream, allowing them to hold fantasies, avoiding a complete descent into madness? The path of balance, I believe Lord Long understands even better than I do.”

“Well said, rogue magician, well said, rogue fraudster! What a grand hoax!” Long Xiruo scoffed, stood up, and left with a sweep of his sleeves.

“Lord Long!” The Heavenly Heart Seventieth Generation hurriedly stood up.

“Still not letting Xiao Shengmo release me?” Long Xiruo turned back and angrily said, “Should I personally blast this faulty tower myself? I’m not compensating!”

The Heavenly Heart Seventieth Generation breathed a sigh of relief… it appeared the agreement was made.

Passing through the clouds, amidst the misty clouds and smoke, everything seemed hazy… Zhuifeng had actually grown weary of this aimless mountain climbing action.

‘Mo Xiaofei’ had always been ahead, not speaking, but as the climbing height increased, the closer to the summit of this Giant Mountain, ‘Mo Xiaofei’ emitted an aura that made Zhuifeng uncomfortable.

It was like a surging ocean, with fierce waves… yet his expression became more and more calm.

Rage… Zhuifeng felt the tangible rage on ‘Mo Xiaofei’!

On the twisting mountain path, huge rocks instantly turned to dust as ‘Mo Xiaofei’ passed by… and the clouds surrounding them were crazily stirred, as if a demon dragon was stirring trouble in the sea of clouds.

Zhuifeng unconsciously swallowed, at that moment, he even had to use the Greedy Wolf Divine Power to barely keep up with ‘Mo Xiaofei’s pace.
