"It's been many years since we've had a war, and I've been eating vegetarian food for a long time. This is the first time in recent years that I've tasted meat." Marshal Lang sighed. His original body was an omnivorous insect, just like an ant. Eating vegetarian food was fine, but since there was meat to eat, who the hell would want to be vegetarian?
"Where has your heroism gone? It was one thing to be a vegetarian in the past, but not long ago your Zhang Huang clan fought several battles with my clan. Putting aside everything else, didn't you eat any of the severed limbs of my children? If you ate them, just say so. What's the big deal? I won't hold it against you for such things."
Lady Lian became dissatisfied with General Lang's answer.
"I am ashamed to say that it is not that Commander Lang intended to deceive his wife. It is simply that during the great battle, the situation was urgent and I did not have time to eat. Later, there was also turmoil within the tribe. To be honest, I have not eaten a single grain of rice or a drop of water for half a month," Commander Lang replied with a sigh.
"In that case, you have indeed suffered a lot. Now that you are with our Yi clan, just take good care of yourself and wait until..." As Lady Lian was speaking, she suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to look at Wang Yao, who was listening to Pudu's sermon.
"Lord Yue Lao, hurry up and study that ape-elephant talisman!" Lady Lian urged.
"Okay, okay..." Wang Yao, Hui Shuo, and Li Kui were listening to Pu Du's explanation in a daze when Lady Lian reminded them. Wang Yao hurriedly took out the Ape and Elephant Talisman and the Ghost Drawing Talisman, made a "Fire Control" talisman, and then began to study it.
"This is... Lord Yue Lao, have you already obtained the Ape and Elephant Divine Talisman?" Tong Xuan asked hurriedly upon seeing this.
“That’s right, it’s just that this thing is a bit difficult to untangle.” Wang Yao nodded.
“Well… I did contact a master of unraveling talismans, who is also an immortal. I even arranged to meet him in the City of Motherly Blessings. But now that chaos has broken out, I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to see him again,” Tongxuan sighed.
"A master of dispelling talismans?" Wang Yao asked in astonishment.
“Indeed, this is Tang Jin’s friend. He has visited my Zhanghuang clan several times before, and I have become quite familiar with him. He introduced himself as someone who specializes in the art of Sacred Domain talismans and is extremely skilled at deciphering ancient and incomplete talismans. That’s why I thought of asking him to decipher this Ape-Elephant Divine Talisman,” Tongxuan said.
"An immortal has visited my Zhanghuang clan several times? Or is he a friend of Tang Jin? The Second Elder? How come I don't know him?" Upon hearing this, Lang Shuai frowned deeply.
"You didn't know? I thought Tang Jin had already introduced that immortal to you." Tong Xuan was also greatly surprised after hearing Lang Shuai's words. You should know that although immortals are quite common in the demon realm, no matter which clan an immortal goes to, the clan's guide will definitely recommend him to the clan leader.
This is a major event that could elevate his status within the clan, so why would Second Elder Tang Jin hide it from Commander Lang? It seems this immortal's identity is quite intriguing!
"Now that you mention it, I do understand a little. Those fire crows were probably brought into Heavenly Nest City by that immortal." Lang Shuai nodded slowly.
The appearance of the Fire Crow in Sky Nest City was extremely strange, because the Zhanghuang Clan had very strict entry and exit checks. Only guests brought into the clan by the clan chief or the ten elders could escape the clan's checks.
Since the fire crow wasn't brought in by Wang Yao and his group, only the mysterious talisman-unraveling immortal who was acquainted with the Second Elder had a chance.
“I see…” Tongxuan’s brows furrowed. “I understand now. That immortal played mahjong with me several times, and he kept asking me about the Yi Clan… He heard me worrying about the difficulty of unraveling the Ape-Elephant Divine Talisman. Could it be… that he deliberately claimed to be a talisman-unraveling master…?”
"...So, he infiltrated the Zhanghuang tribe several times...could the alien spy who instigated the war between the Zhanghuang and Yi tribes be that immortal?"
"It seems to be quite good." Lady Lian nodded as well. "My Yi clan is the most united clan in this Dongchuan Continent. It is absolutely impossible to get information about the clan from my children. Only you, old man, have come to my clan time and time again and know my Yi clan best."
"Great Immortal, do you still remember what that immortal looked like?" Wang Yao suddenly asked from the side.
"Appearance? He looks to be in his thirties, and he even has a beard..." Although Tongxuan didn't know what Wang Yao meant by asking this, he still described the immortal's appearance to him.
“You…You Junda!” Wang Yao’s eyes widened in surprise upon hearing what Tongxuan said.
"You know that immortal?" Tongxuan asked in astonishment.
"No..." Wang Yao shook his head. Damn it, this Tongxuan is lucky. The spirit that resides in You Junda probably has an important mission. Otherwise, your old body would probably be the place where that spirit resides by now.
“But I’ve seen that thing before…” Wang Yao then recounted You Junda’s identity, his encounter with the underworld’s corpse qi disease and his entrapment in the Three Passages Center, and the scene when he and the fairy later bumped into him.
The old immortal Tongxuan knew exactly what a spirit body was. The thought that he had actually played mahjong with a spirit body for several all-nighters made his old face turn deathly pale with fright.
"If... then... then what I... encountered in Building No. 1 of Mother City should also be a... a spirit body?" Tongxuan stammered, blinking his eyes.
"What do you mean?" Upon hearing the words "Mother City," Lady Lian immediately became alert.
"On that day, I went to Building No. 1 in Mother City to check on the death of the sleeping guards of the nobles. As soon as I entered the basement of the sleeping guards' lair, I felt a gust of cold wind rushing towards me. It was as if I had encountered my natural enemy. I was so frightened that I dared not stay in the nobles' place any longer."
Tongxuan recalled with a pale face.
"My spiritual senses are exceptional. This is the first time I've felt this way since I became an immortal. I was so frightened that I fled Mother City and hid for several days until the feeling completely disappeared. Only then did I dare to return to Mother City, only to find that the Yi Clan army had already set off. That's why I chased after them all the way."
