Chapter 4133: Carefree Demon Lord Visits

If a small number of chaos beasts appeared within the fifty-thousand-mile radius of the cities controlled by the Wang family, the Immortal Armored Army would be dispatched to eliminate them, which also served as a form of training. "How many Immortal-Slaying Arrows and Immortal-Slaying Cannons do we have? And what about our stock of immortal puppets?"

Wang Changsheng continued to ask.

"We have five hundred thirty-two lower-grade Immortal-Slaying Arrows and eighteen middle-grade ones. As for Immortal-Slaying Cannons, there are one hundred fifty-two lower-grade ones and thirty-six middle-grade ones. We also have one hundred fifty-five immortal puppets, including twelve Golden Immortal-stage puppet beasts; the rest are True Immortal-stage puppet beasts," Wang Qingcheng reported truthfully.

The materials alone constituted an astronomical sum, but fortunately, the Wang family now had a stable source of income.

The Azure Lotus Refining Art had significantly improved the Wang family's artificers' crafting skills, greatly increasing their ability to acquire cultivation resources.

"By the way, Father, should we transfer the Thunder Roc Guard, the Black Tortoise Guard, the Azure Dragon Guard, the Vermillion Bird Guard, the Ape Guard, the Heaven-Devouring Guard, the Dragon Spider Guard, and the Golden Crow Guard?" Sun Yuejiao asked for instructions.

The Wang family created the Thunder Roc Guard using Purple-Gold Thunder Roc Beasts, the Black Tortoise Guard with Wang Lin and Xuanyue, the Azure Dragon Guard with cultivated true dragons, the Vermillion Bird Guard with Wang Que, the Ape Guard with Wang Yuan, the Heaven-Devouring Guard with Wang Tun'tian's descendants, the Dragon Spider Guard centered around Wang Xiuluo, and the Golden Crow Guard with Wang Yangwei as its core. The leaders of these eight guards were all true spirits, and their strength would be even greater if they donned chaos armor.

"Our trump cards shouldn't all be revealed at once. There's no need to transfer them for now; let them focus on training and cultivation. Oh, and has Wang Hui advanced to the Golden Immortal stage?"

Wang Changsheng asked.

Wang Hui's true form was a Nine-Colored Worm, and he had ascended to the immortal realm with them.

"He advanced to the Golden Immortal stage tens of thousands of years ago and is currently in Azure Lotus City. Should I call him over?" Wang Qingcheng said.

After Wang Hui reached the Golden Immortal stage, mining second-tier immortal ores became relatively easy.

"No, let him continue his cultivation! There will be a time when he's needed," Wang Changsheng instructed.

He hadn't forgotten the miniature Hunyuan Stone vein in the Hulu Mountain Range. If it weren't for the Grand Unity Golden Immortal-stage chaos beast there, he would have taken Wang Hui to mine the Hunyuan Stones.

Wang Qingcheng nodded in agreement.

He took out a yellow-glowing communication disk, entered a magic incantation, and furrowed his brows.

"Father, there's a fellow cultivator outside the city who specifically asked to see you. He's at the late Golden Immortal stage and mentioned having had dealings with you before," Wang Qingcheng said.

"Late Golden Immortal stage? Had dealings with me?" Wang Changsheng showed a look of recollection. Could it be Tai Shi Qi? "I'll go meet him."

Wang Changsheng lightly tapped his right foot on the ground, transforming into a green long rainbow that soared through the air, appearing on the city wall in a flash. The city wall had dozens of Immortal-Slaying Cannons and two ballistae, with a middle-grade Immortal-Slaying Arrow mounted on each ballista. This was only a portion; more Immortal-Slaying Cannons and Immortal-Slaying Arrows were concealed by formations, known only to a few high-ranking members, to evade detection by chaos beasts and the scrutiny of other forces.

A black-robed young man stood high in the sky, emitting a vast and boundless aura. "So it's you, Fellow Daoist Sun." Wang Changsheng's face showed an expression of sudden realization upon seeing the black-robed young man.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, I have something to discuss with you. Can we find a place to talk in detail?" the black-robed young man asked.

Wang Changsheng pondered for a moment, nodded, and personally led the black-robed young man into Azure Lotus City and up to Azure Lotus Peak. Wang Tun'tian had already eaten his fill and returned to cultivation.

Wang Changsheng and the black-robed young man sat down in the stone pavilion. The black-robed young man wasted no time and got straight to the point: "Fellow Daoist Wang, I heard that Fairy Tianqin is a second-tier immortal talisman master. Would it be possible to invite her out? I have something to discuss with her."

"Looking for my wife? May I ask what it's about?" Wang Changsheng asked, puzzled.

"I wish to ask for her assistance in crafting a few second-tier immortal talismans. The remuneration will certainly not disappoint her," the black-robed young man said.

"I heard that the Five Immortals Sect is seeking the Carefree Demonic Lord. Has Fellow Daoist Sun heard anything about this?" Wang Changsheng asked, changing the subject instead of answering directly.

"Would you believe me if I told you I am the Carefree Demonic Lord?" the black-robed young man said with a chuckle.

"I would. And would you believe me if I said I don't care about the grievances between Fellow Daoist Sun and the Five Immortals Sect?" Wang Changsheng replied seriously.

"I treat others as they treat me: a smile for a smile, a blade for a blade," the black-robed young man said calmly. He was indeed the Carefree Demonic Lord, but not in his true form, fearing recognition by members of the Five Immortals Sect. He was asking Wang Ruyan to help him craft second-tier immortal talismans to aid him in opening his seventh aperture.

"May I ask what kind of immortal talismans Fellow Daoist Sun wishes me to craft, and have the materials been prepared?" Wang Ruyan's voice rang out. As soon as her voice faded, she walked over.

"To be frank, I'm still missing the core materials, which I haven't been able to procure. With the capabilities of your Wang family, you should be able to acquire them. These Hunyuan Stones are a deposit," the Carefree Demonic Lord said, taking out a black storage bracelet and handing it to Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng swept it with his divine sense, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. The Hunyuan Stones inside were enough to craft three sets of middle-grade chaos armor. Had the Carefree Demonic Lord robbed the Five Immortals Sect again? If so, he was quite bold!

"Don't worry, these are accumulated over many years, unrelated to the Five Immortals Sect. I'm not foolish enough to rob the Five Immortals Sect's possessions right now," the Carefree Demonic Lord explained, seemingly discerning Wang Changsheng's concern.

From his words, it seemed he wasn't afraid to rob the Five Immortals Sect; rather, he was limited by his cultivation level, which prevented him from acting. He took out a black jade slip, handed it to Wang Ruyan, and said, "I need two. How does that sound?"

Wang Ruyan took the jade slip, swept it with her divine sense, and her brows furrowed in surprise. "The core material requires the hide of a Golden Immortal-stage seven-colored mutated chaos beast?" she exclaimed. "If it were that easy to collect, I wouldn't have offered so many Hunyuan Stones as a deposit. After it's done, I'll have a generous thank-you gift."

Wang Ruyan pondered briefly and said, "The other materials are manageable, but the beast hide is difficult. How about delivery within a hundred thousand years?" They actually possessed the hide of a mutated seven-colored chaos beast, but delivering it too quickly would arouse the Carefree Demonic Lord's suspicion.

"No problem," the Carefree Demonic Lord readily agreed. Let alone a hundred thousand years, he could wait a million years.

"Oh, and by the way, a friend of mine once revealed to me that someone paid a high price to inquire about the defensive status and city defenses of your Wang family's four Xuan Cities. As for the mastermind, my friend wasn't sure, but speculated it was a middleman," the Carefree Demonic Lord said, recalling something.

Wang Changsheng frowned, then nodded. "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Sun. Please help us keep an eye out for any information regarding the mastermind."

"Of course. If you help me, I will certainly help you, and vice versa," the Carefree Demonic Lord readily agreed.

After chatting for less than half an hour, the Carefree Demonic Lord bid farewell and departed.

"He's quite bold. He isn't even afraid that we might capture him and hand him over to the Five Immortals Sect for a reward," Wang Ruyan remarked.

"Strength provides confidence. His grievances with the Five Immortals Sect are none of our business. Since he didn't use his true appearance, we'll just treat him as an unfamiliar Golden Immortal cultivator," Wang Changsheng said. The Five Immortals Sect and the Cao family were in a competitive relationship, so for the Cao family, a Golden Immortal cultivator wanted by the Five Immortals Sect was a protected target.
