Chapter 594: Zhongling Mountains
Chapter 594: Zhongling Mountains
Yue Shanque felt the gaze and tensed up. He knew the final verdict had arrived. Although he understood from the other person's words that his survival was a foregone conclusion, the feeling of having walked through the gates of hell was still terrible.
But without verbal confirmation, even if he knew it in his heart, accidents could still happen. So, he was still a little nervous.
Fortunately, the ending is good.
The old goat said, "You're lucky. You're still useful. So, congratulations on surviving."
Before the titmouse could be happy.
All I heard was a "but." "But, just in case you let something slip again, we need to sign a vow to protect you."
"I swear to heaven." Yue Shanque breathed a sigh of relief. What did he think? Nothing mattered when it came to his life. A true man could bend and stretch. Besides, he still had his own little thoughts. If some kind of catastrophe really happened in the future, he would be safer with the people in front of him than with the Demon Alliance.
He wasn't stupid. Their strength and calm demeanor made them far more reliable than a newly formed organization like the Demon Alliance. So, Yue Shanque, who sincerely wanted to seek refuge, didn't have much resistance to the oath. As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand.
It turned out to be true. Otherwise, how could I have met such a golden thigh if I hadn’t taken this trip?
The old goat had no idea what Leaping Sparrow was thinking. Even if he did, he wouldn't say much. These things were harmless to him. But swearing an oath before heaven and earth was too uncontrollable. Furthermore, if he were questioned, the power of heaven would be brought down upon him without warning. Heaven and earth wouldn't negotiate with you; they would strike you down if they said so. And even though swearing before heaven and earth wouldn't leave any marks on your body,
But it can still be seen in front of those powerful beings.
Faint marks will be left on the body. These marks are the marks of heaven and earth. They are so conspicuous, almost like lighting a lamp at night.
So the old goat plans to use a more flexible and traceless contract.
The witness was done by Su Mu.
Why is an oath sworn to heaven and earth a symbol of integrity? Because if you break your oath, heaven and earth will crush you to ashes, no matter where you hide. As long as you are within the world, whether it is a cave heaven or a blessed land, the world will find a way to punish you. Unless you have the strength to fight against the entire world.
Even Su Mu could only survive such punishment, not fight against the world. Su Mu couldn't do it, and neither could those pinnacle innate gods.
That is why the oath sworn to heaven and earth is the most sincere.
There are countless promises in the world, but many are just empty words, without much binding force. But swearing to Su Mu has a similar effect. Su Mu took a trace of the essence of the Leaping Sparrow.
This aura shared the same origin as the Leaping Sparrow. Appearance and bloodline could change, but this fundamental aura remained unchanged. As long as he was there, Su Mu could strike at will. It was similar in effect to the Oath to Heaven and Earth, but more flexible. Whether to pursue this matter was up to Su Mu.
Moreover, the loss of a trace of origin is not noticeable to the Leaping Sparrow, and others cannot notice it either.
Yue Shanque felt that the result made little difference, and was actually more heartwarming. He knew he had completely survived. After all, no one would bother to do something when they could easily crush him to death.
The solemn atmosphere completely disappeared at this moment.
"Where is the demon alliance?" the old goat asked Leaping Tit.
Yue Shanque was no longer as reserved as he had been at first. Since they had already sworn an oath, they were now considered one of the same. So, he spoke in a relaxed tone, "The Demon Alliance's headquarters is in the Zhongling Mountains, a vast expanse of mountains that also serves as the Demon Alliance's headquarters."
"There are thousands of miles of mountains and forests, and countless monsters. It was originally a wonder of nature that could breed monsters. This mountain spirit is a natural gathering array, with abundant spiritual energy. There are countless spirits and monsters in the mountains and forests. The headquarters of the Monster Alliance was chosen there. Because of the large number of monsters, human cultivators dare not approach it."
"And it's said, it's said, that the leader of the Demon Alliance was born there. This isn't accurate, it's just gossip. After the Demon Alliance moved in, the several great demons that existed in the Zhongling Mountains joined the Demon Alliance smoothly without much effort. There were no obstacles at all. You have to know that in a place as blessed as the Zhongling Mountains, the strength of the great demons is bound to be far superior to those outside."
"Because the Zhongling Mountains are so blessed by nature. But precisely because of this, before the Demon Alliance arrived, the competition here was extremely fierce. It is the true testing ground for the demon race. Anyone who has gained a foothold in the Zhongling Mountains has fought their way out through mountains of corpses and seas of blood."
"I know a few of them. They are very arrogant and their strength is also among the top among the twenty-seven people."
"So it's hard to imagine that these arrogant guys would join the Demon Alliance without much resistance. Although the Demon Alliance is loose, no matter how loose it is, there are still levels of division. Not as good as the leader, such as the twenty-seven great demons."
"You know, even though the Demon Alliance was established not long ago, 23 of the 27 Great Demons were already confirmed at the beginning. The remaining four joined later. This shows how difficult it is to enter the core."
"So, it's said that the leader of the Demon Alliance might also come from the Zhongling Mountains." Yue Shanque's mouth seemed to have a racial bonus, and he spoke out everything he knew, didn't know, was useful, useless, and might be useful.
Thanks to the jumping titmouse.
They are already getting to know the Demon Alliance better and better.
Yue Shanque was actually a later addition. He managed to maintain a good relationship, and his personality and his mouth probably played a large part in that. After all, while being too familiar might annoy some people, it's undeniably a quicker way to build familiarity.
All I can say is that it's a racial talent. If I let an old goat go, I'm afraid he wouldn't even know the names of the members in eight hundred years.
With the jumping tit by his side, it should be easier for the old goat to get inside.
"Is the Zhongling Mountains far away?" Su Mu had never heard of this mountain forest. That was understandable, given the vastness of the world. The farthest place Su Mu had ever been was the source of Tianbei. The rest of the time, he'd been around Yanchao.
"It's a bit far. It took me about half a year to get here." said Yue Shanque.
This was already a long way for a demon's speed. You have to know that shrinking the earth to an inch is a basic skill for a demon, and riding on clouds is even easier.
It would take a big monster half a year to travel that far, and it's really quite far.
"Speaking of which, from such a long distance, how did the leader of the Demon Alliance know what happened in Lin Country? And how did he know about the existence of powerful demons like Su Qingtu?"
