TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 1206: Chapter 482: The Stone Man Eliminates the Monster Chapter 1206: Chapter 482: The Stone Man Eliminates the Monster After coming to an agreement with Changqing Branch, and seeing that both sides had initially reached a consensus for a peaceful transition, Lu Yuan began the preliminary preparations for taking over Youxin Country.

Recruiting disciples and strengthening the Immortal Sect was only the first step.

After selecting a group of disciples, he had his avatar, Che Shidao, personally take action and head to Stone Man Mountain to prepare for the cleansing of demons there.

Since Taiping Dao had taken City of Yunlan, all the demons and ghosts in Youxin Country saw the tides turning against them and retreated to Stone Man Mountain, watching the situation unfold from this border.

By that time, Lu Yuan already regarded Youxin Country as his own territory to claim and had preliminarily opened up relations with Qing Immortal Sect.

He certainly had no more reservations by this point and would not tolerate these demons wreaking havoc on his own land.

Therefore, as soon as both sides finished negotiations and had initially stabilized City of Yunlan, he took action.

However, despite his swift movements, the noses of those demons were even sharper.

Before Changqing Branch sent messengers to City of Yunlan, a group of demons had already sensed that something was amiss.

Therefore, even without confirmation of whether there were immortals in City of Yunlan, two of the five great Demon Kings and Ghost Kings of Youxin Country—the Spiritual Water King and the Three Yin Ghost King—fled beforehand.

Taking a handful of trusted followers, they directly abandoned the hordes of lesser demons and little ghosts and escaped into neighboring Youqing Country, their whereabouts unknown.

By the time Changqing Branch sent messengers to City of Yunlan, the Sorrowful Ghost King also felt danger, fearing that Changqing Branch might ally with an outside Immortal Sect.

Even if the newcomers weren’t immortals, the combined force of the two major Daoist sects was enough to eradicate these demons and ghosts.

Realizing that Youxin Country’s situation was beyond saving, he too fled.

He ran to another neighboring country, Youshan Country, again without a trace.

By the time Lu Yuan was free to deal with the demons on Stone Man Mountain,

there were only two demons left there, the Black Wind King and the Golden Feather King.

But the other lesser demons and little ghosts, after their own kings had left, did not follow but instead gathered around the two remaining kings.

This was because these ghostly beings, still craving blood, were reluctant to leave the tantalizing world of Youxin Country and the inexhaustible supply of humans and livestock.

Therefore, in addition to the two Demon Kings, there were still approximately five thousand demons and ghosts on Stone Man Mountain, still an impressive force.

Without eliminating them promptly, letting them entrench themselves, they would sooner or later become a scourge to Youxin Country.

Or rather, they were already a scourge at this point.

And as for scourges, Lu Yuan naturally intended to root them out completely.

…

Stone Man Mountain.

Since all the demons of Youxin Country had gathered here,

this place had turned into a realm of demons and ghosts.

The sky was filled with Yin Wind, the mountains shrouded in dark clouds, and the demonic energy nearly overwhelmed the entire mountain ridge.

Others didn’t need to enter the mountain; even from a distance, one could tell this place was a land of great evil, and it shook them to their core.

And it was indeed the case.

Those thousands of demons didn’t come alone.

Along with them were hundreds of thousands of captured human beings they had abducted along the way.

Although the eastern part of Youxin Country had been ravaged by these demons for hundreds of years,

by this point, there were still many humans remaining.

A thorough search could still yield over a million people quite easily.

And the remaining humans who had hidden for over a century were now under the tyranny of these demons, captured one after another.

Therefore, on Stone Man Mountain, those thousands of demons were not short of blood food.

They were even uncertain whether they would be able to remain in Youxin Country,

hence casting aside the idea of a steady, moderate consumption.

After all, why nurture human livestock if you’re going to be driven out and leave them to benefit someone else?

This bad deal was something even demons could calculate.

Therefore, in their indulgence of blood food, they did as they pleased, enjoying whatever was most delightful.

All previous hesitations were now absent.

In just over two months after taking refuge in Stone Man Mountain, of the more than five hundred thousand people and livestock originally captured, only about two hundred thousand remained.

Nearly a hundred thousand were consumed each month, a frightfully astonishing rate!

For human beings, how could such a place not be a land of great evil?

Atop the mountain, a customary banquet was currently in progress.

“Fellow beings, drink to your heart’s content, eat with abandon.

I’ve ordered the butchering of over a thousand humans and livestock for our feast,” said Black Wind King from his throne, looking down at the fiendish demons and ghosts below, speaking boisterously.

Since the other three Ghost Kings and Demon Kings had fled, the thousands of their followers left on Stone Man Mountain had become leaderless demons, without a king to follow.

This piece of rich territory was naturally eyed by Black Wind King and Golden Feather King, who remained on the mountain and wanted to bring the followers under their own command.

As mentioned before,

These Demon Kings were nominally kings, but in essence, they were merely at the level of Five Qi Towards Primordial.

They were far from the actual level of the Great Demons with Dao Fruit.

Their claim to kingship was based on the gathering of followers.

With demonic followers, they were kings.

Without them, they were just ordinary evil demons.

So in addition to their own strength, the number of demons under their command was also an important factor in determining a Demon King’s power.

This factor even outweighed their personal strength.

Because no matter how strong a Demon King was, he was still only at the level of Five Qi Towards Primordial.

But a few thousand lesser demons put together could take on several beings at this level.

For every thousand demons under his command, it was as if he had gained one or two subordinates of the same realm, and with an additional three or five thousand, it was as if he had ten subordinates of the same realm by his side.
