Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Chapter 890 - 817: Battle of Wits and Courage (Part 3)

"Then please explain to me exactly how many treasures you obtained from the Ziwei Divine Sect."Zhan Changsheng said.

"The cultivation techniques of the Ziwei Divine Sect require Purple Energy for assistance. Their techniques have a very fatal flaw: although they can quickly enhance one's cultivation, they cause the lifespan to deplete very swiftly. Once any mishaps occur, the experts from the Ziwei Divine Sect can easily perish, leaving the talent pool drastically altered. I believe the sect master should be aware of this characteristic. If the sect master claims ignorance, then I have no way to tell you what treasure I obtained in the final stage."

Duan Gujin said indifferently.

Zhan Changsheng's eyes flickered for a moment; he believed Duan Gujin's description of the Ziwei Divine Sect's cultivation techniques.

In some classics of the Taihuang Immortal Sect, there is repeated advice to future generations not to practice the techniques of the Ziwei Divine Sect lightly.

Because once practicing the cultivation techniques of the Ziwei Divine Sect, although the disciples can quickly advance within a short time, it will also significantly reduce their lifespan.

And once the lifespan of the disciples is significantly reduced, in the absence of cultivation resources, extremely tragic internal conflicts will arise.

"From what he says, the treasures he obtained in the final stage might not be many. The Ziwei Divine Sect couldn't possibly leave a lot of cultivation resources for future generations without using them themselves. Considering the consumption rate of the Ziwei Divine Sect's resources, the treasures in the Ziwei Divine Palace might not really be abundant!"

Zhan Changsheng thought for a moment and realized this connection.

"So what did you actually obtain?"

Zhan Changsheng asked directly.

"I just obtained a pile of ores; I didn't even acquire any Dark Weapons of the Ziwei Divine Sect. The treasures in the Ziwei Divine Palace will hereafter open once every ten years so that martial artists from Yuanzhen Continent can take any treasure inside!"

Duan Gujin replied.

"Do you think I would believe you?"

Zhan Changsheng sneered coldly, feeling that Duan Gujin was merely trying to deceive him.

"I know that anyone who hears my words won't believe me, but in the end, I really just got a pile of ores! I was tricked by the Sect Hierarch of the Ziwei Divine Sect!"

Duan Gujin sighed and said.

"Haha, I don't believe what you said!"

Zhan Changsheng answered.

"I also know that the Sect Leader cannot believe it, I have no choice, if I had really obtained so many cultivation resources, I would have already taken those resources and found a place to cultivate properly!"

"What about your other two companions?"

Zhan Changsheng continued to ask.

"You mean that big fellow and that woman; that woman is my wife, and that big fellow is my friend! They also come from Jiuzhou Continent!"

In order to buy time, Duan Gujin had used all his wits.

"If you truly wish to resolve the grievances with our Taihuang Immortal Sect, you must come with me to the Taihuang Immortal Sect!"

Zhan Changsheng stated.

"Sect Leader, don't you think we should first deal with those Sea Demon Corpse Army before discussing whether I should go to your Taihuang Immortal Sect?"

Duan Gujin replied.

"You don't trust our Taihuang Immortal Sect?"

Zhan Changsheng feigned anger.

"No, I just think we should first deal with those Sea Demon Corpse Army!"

Duan Gujin chuckled but was thinking: "Only a fool would trust you!"

Zhan Changsheng's eyes flickered, unable to determine whether what Duan Gujin had said was true or false.

"If you truly want to know the truth, you'll have to use the Soul Searching Technique!"

A cold light flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and his expression returned to normal.

If there was an ordinary person before him, unaware of the Taihuang Immortal Sect's details, Zhan Changsheng might well have confused the person, leading them unknowingly into his trap.

But now standing before Zhan Changsheng was Duan Gujin, someone who had dealt with the Taihuang Immortal Sect extensively in his previous life, and he clearly understood the nature of the sect, refusing to believe it outright.

While speaking to Zhan Changsheng just now, Duan Gujin had recovered some Primordial Power.

Even though it wasn't enough to defeat his opponent, it would be challenging for the opponent to capture him; he could deploy the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps for a quick escape.

Meanwhile, Zhan Changsheng had also regained some strength, his eyes flickering as he weighed whether to decisively apprehend Duan Gujin.

"But if Duan Gujin would rather destroy his Divine Soul than allow me to forcibly read his memories?"

After contemplating for a while, he felt that capturing Duan Gujin might lead to many unforeseen variables.

"Duan Gujin, alright, let's first go back and eliminate those Sea Demon Corpse Army, then we'll talk!"

After some thought, Zhan Changsheng felt he should agree with the other's opinion.

"First stabilize him, then I will seek the chance to decisively act later!"

This is what Zhan Changsheng thought to himself.

"Alright!"

Seeing the other party agree to his demand, Duan Gujin immediately realized that the opponent was intending to secretly find an opportunity to act against him.

"Zhan Changsheng is indeed a genuine Shattering Void Realm expert; his strength surpasses mine significantly, I should wait until my Primordial Power and Spiritual Power have fully recovered, then use the Starry Sky Escape Technique to flee!"

The Starry Sky Escape Technique was one of the advanced escape methods taught to him by Zhao Wuji as a part of the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul Profound Meaning; it was similar to the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps in principle, only differing in the distances they could help one escape.
