Inside the Five Immortals Valley, the Five Immortals nodded in satisfaction upon seeing so many mountain spirits and monsters arrive.
In the Liaodong region of northern China, the Five Immortals lineage still enjoys considerable prestige.
Regardless of whether they had a grudge before or not, as long as the five immortal lineages sent out a message, anyone with a modicum of intelligence would definitely give them face and come over.
Chang Tianlong walked to the center, coughed twice and said, "It is an honor for our Five Immortals lineage that you all can come to Five Immortal Valley to participate in this Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Immortals."
Although we all had our grudges and minor conflicts in the past, we were all immortal demons who were born with intelligence by bathing in the moonlight and heaven and earth, and we all belonged to the same lineage.
Therefore, when faced with major issues of principle, we should work together, not continue to fight amongst ourselves.
Black Bear Spirit Black Whirlwind picked at his ear and pulled out a big louse. He said impatiently, "Chang Tianlong, get to the point. When did you become so long-winded?"
"Long worm, long worm, why do you always talk so long and stinky?"
A flash of anger crossed Chang Tianlong's eyes, but the many monsters below all agreed with the Black Bear Spirit's words.
Yang Cheng observed from below that although these five immortal lineages and other mountain spirits from Liaodong in the north had the same origin, they were practically two different species.
The lineage of the Five Immortals had already taken human form long ago and had been worshipped by the Jurchens for many years. The lineage of the shamans that evolved from them was also the one that had the longest interaction with humans.
Therefore, the thinking of the Five Immortals lineage is actually the same as that of humans; at most, they can only be considered as humans with different cultivation methods.
However, the other mountain spirits are just normal mountain spirits, eating raw meat and drinking blood, living a life of survival of the fittest, and thinking in a simple and direct way.
They couldn't listen to Chang Tianlong's explanations; they just felt he was spouting useless nonsense.
After coughing twice, Chang Tianlong had no choice but to say directly: "The reason why my Five Immortal Lineage is holding the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly today is for one thing only: to unite all the demon immortals in the Liaodong region and annihilate the more than 200,000 troops of the Great Zhou who are attacking Liaodong, and to kill Yang Cheng, the Grand Commander of the Zhenwu Hall."
"After this is accomplished, my Five Immortal Lineage will enter the Central Plains, the dragon veins of Liaodong in the north will all belong to you, and the offerings of the Jurchens will also be given to you."
As soon as these words were spoken, a noisy discussion broke out throughout the Five Immortals Valley.
The proposal from the Five Immortals lineage is indeed very tempting. Many mountain spirits have been fighting with the Five Immortals for so many years, just to compete with them for incense offerings and the dragon vein.
The other party is now willing to give it up themselves, which is fantastic news!
Kui Shan-jun went even further and asked directly, "Are you serious?"
Chang Tianlong said calmly, "Of course it's true. The reputation of my Five Immortal Lineage speaks for itself, so why would I lie to you?"
At this moment, Yang Cheng suddenly chuckled, a sound that sounded very jarring among the mountain spirits.
"I say, Master Chang, you're only saying good things and not mentioning the bad ones."
Do you think you can just kill all 200,000 elite troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty? Even 200,000 pigs aren't so easy to kill, are they?
You are demon immortals, but you are not yet invulnerable to swords and spears. If you really go to the battlefield, who will live and who will die is still unknown.
Besides, is Yang Cheng, the Grand Commander of Zhenwu Hall, so easy to deal with? Why don't you tell everyone about Yang Cheng's battle record?
The White Lotus Sect, the Thirty-Six Great Bandits, and the Golden Horde—all the top powers of the time—were destroyed by Yang Cheng.
Even last time, when your five immortals descended in the physical form of a shamanic disciple, weren't you still beaten so badly that you fled back to Five Immortals Valley in a sorry state?
Why don't you tell everyone about these things? What are you really thinking?
Moreover, even if you could really defeat the 200,000-strong army of the Great Zhou and destroy Yang Cheng, your five immortal families would go to the Great Zhou and enjoy the Great Zhou's dragon vein, while only giving the other demon immortals such a tiny place in Liaodong. Is that fair?
How many times larger is the Great Zhou dragon vein than Liaodong? More than dozens of times larger!
We risked our lives to help you, but all we got was a tiny piece of land in Liaodong, while you went off to live a carefree life in the fertile Central Plains. Is that fair?
"You five immortal lineages are certainly shrewd in your calculations, but you're treating everyone else like fools!"
Upon hearing this, Chang Tianlong immediately glared angrily at Yang Cheng.
Because of the demonic energy blocking his view, Chang Tianlong couldn't recognize Yang Cheng for a moment, but he felt that the guy looked somewhat familiar.
The other demons and immortals present all turned extremely angry.
Although most demon immortals are simple-minded, they are not fools.
Black Whirlwind roared, "Damn you, you big snakes, do you think I, your grandpa Black, am an idiot?"
Kui Shanjun also sneered, "Chang Tianlong, you've done a good job of planning. You send us to our deaths while you reap the benefits. Where in the world is there such a free lunch?"
Jin Meiniang also chuckled, "Yes, you five immortals make it sound so nice, but I'm afraid we won't live to enjoy these promises in the end."
The old locust tree spirit, Thousand-Handed Grandfather, coughed twice, shook his branches and leaves, and said in a hoarse, aged voice, "This old man is too old to do things like fighting and killing anymore."
"You five immortal lineages yearn for the prosperity and power of the Central Plains, then go ahead and seize it yourselves. This old man only wants to guard this small piece of land and eke out a living."
Seeing that this guy had exposed all his weaknesses, a murderous glint appeared in Chang Tianlong's eyes.
Many of the spirits and monsters in the mountains and fields are impulsive and reckless, not very good at thinking or considering the pros and cons.
There was only one old man named Thousand Hands who was shrewd and experienced, and he never fought or grabbed anything, so he never offended anyone.
