Chapter 46 The Demon Cultivator's Plan

"Where am I?"

The second in command woke up slowly and still didn't understand what had happened.

The memory of his opposition to Fang Chen in his mind had been eliminated by the Blood God Vine. He only knew that he and his eldest brother had split up into two groups to explore the way through the Jueling Swamp.

Then he saw hundreds of mortals and spiritual energy in the Jueling Swamp. He had no memory of what happened afterwards.

"You just fainted suddenly, are you okay?"

After learning through the Blood God Vine that the other party's memory had been erased, Fang Chen put on an expression of concern for his subordinates, acting like a good leader.

"You saved me? Then my life will be yours from now on!"

Although he still didn't understand the situation, but after hearing what Fang Chen said, and knowing that he would unconsciously submit to Fang Chen after being parasitized by the blood vine clone, he naturally imagined a scenario in which he was accidentally injured and then rescued by the person in front of him.

"This blood vine clone is too perverted. It twisted a person's thoughts and he didn't even feel anything was wrong."

Seeing his performance, Fang Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

No wonder it’s called a clone.

Although Dian Chu still has self-awareness and previous memories, he has indeed become a puppet that completely obeys his orders.

"It's only a piece of cake to save you. Since you are willing to follow me, you can call me Lord from now on. But there is one thing I'm curious about. What are you doing in such a desolate place like the Absolute Spirit Swamp?"

Even though he sighed, Fang Chen still had to continue the show. After all, he still had a lot of questions in his mind that had not been answered.

"Okay, Lord..."

Dian Chu chuckled, and then told Fang Chen in detail the plan he had discussed with his eldest brother on the East China Sea.

"The people above? The holy object? In other words, you have received a commission from a big force? Is there something in the Absolute Spirit Swamp that they are eyeing?"

Fang Chen sorted out the information in the other party's words and confirmed it with him again.

"It's not a big force, but the top leaders of the Xingyue Sea Demon Cultivator Alliance. Our Sea Demon Gang is also a member of the alliance, but it belongs to the bottom."

Dian Chu quickly corrected the errors in the information that Fang Chen had deduced himself.

"The Demon Cultivator Alliance? Your coming here is related to the Demon Cultivator?"

Fang Chen was greatly surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he found it very reasonable.

"That's normal. Rumor has it that the Demon Cultivator's base camp is in the Star-Moon Sea in the east, and he also came from the east."

Seeing that Fang Chen had subdued the second in command of the Sea Demon Gang, Lin Qingshan led the descendants of the Immortal Dynasty out of the bamboo building, letting them continue to eat lunch and replenish their strength. He walked to Fang Chen and set up a soundproof ban.

As for the content involving demonic cultivation, it is better not to let the descendants of the Immortal Dynasty present at the scene hear it for now.

Fang Chen was not surprised by Lin Qingshan's appearance. He nodded to him and continued to ask Dian Chu: "Are you physical cultivators also considered magic cultivators? Can you join the Magic Cultivation Alliance? Also, what exactly are your so-called holy objects?"

"My Lord, you have misunderstood. Not all the members of the Demon Cultivator Alliance are demon cultivators. People like us, low-level physical cultivators, are willing to join the alliance to seek protection and fight against the righteous sects together."

When talking about the righteous immortal sect, Dian Chu almost gritted his teeth, which naturally made Fang Chen sense something unusual.

"Do you have a grudge against the Righteous Immortal Sect?"

Out of personal curiosity, Fang Chen asked directly.

"It's not just me. All of us in Xingyue Sea have a deep hatred for the righteous immortal sect. If they hadn't taken away our spiritual roots and made it impossible for us to practice the immortal way, how could we have embarked on the extremely dangerous path of physical cultivation?"

When saying this, Dian Chu could not suppress the anger in his words, and his expression became distorted.

"Forehead……"

After listening to his description, Fang Chen and Lin Qingshan looked at each other, both with subtle expressions. Although the righteous immortal sect was not a good thing, taking away spiritual roots did not sound like their method.

"Could it be that the people in Xingyuehai have been fooled by the demon cultivators?"

Finally, Fang Chen couldn't help it and sent a message to Lin Qingshan.

"Nine times out of ten, but I can't be sure."

Lin Qingshan also replied via telepathy.

The two of them had a secret conversation here, and Dian Chu, who was immersed in his hatred towards the righteous immortal sect, did not feel that he was being left out.

But Fang Chen finally remembered the main business and asked, "By the way, you haven't told me yet, what exactly is the holy object?"

"It's the mud from the Absolute Spirit Swamp. They didn't tell us what this mud is used for, they just said it can be used to deal with the Immortal Gate."

Fang Chen actually understood what Dian Chu said, but he didn't expect him to continue, "However, on the way, a new brother told me that this mud probably inherited the ability of the Absolute Spirit Swamp and can create an environment without spiritual energy, causing great losses to those righteous immortal sects."

"Your new brother is quite knowledgeable. Where did he go?"

Based on Fang Chen's understanding of the Jueling Swamp, this is almost true, so he is very interested in the person who put forward this conjecture.

"I followed my eldest brother to wipe out the Wang family. This was also his suggestion..."

Dian Chu also told Fang Chen about building a base in the center of the Jueling Swamp and how doing so would lead to a decrease in the number of mortals and the need to rob more manpower.

He had already said some of them before, but after listening to them again, Fang Chen had new ideas.

"Lao Lin, wait for the fleet of the Sea Demon Gang to come back, and I will turn the big brother he mentioned into a puppet like this. Then we will disguise ourselves as the Sea Demon Gang and trade with the Demon Cultivator Alliance. What do you think of this idea?"

This operation was rather risky, so he sent a message to Lin Qingshan to ask.

"I think there should be no problem, as long as you, Lord, can ensure that these puppets are completely under your control."

Lin Qingshan also thought about it for a while and gave some suggestions tactfully.

He didn't know about the blood vine clone, but as someone who lived in symbiosis with the body-forging blood vine, he could sense the parasitic blood vine in Dian Chu's body, and he guessed that this method of controlling people was related to the Blood God Vine.

So I didn't go into depth on this topic, I just touched on it briefly.

"That should be fine, but the demon cultivators actually plan to use the mud from the Absolute Soul Swamp to deal with the righteous immortal sect. Don't they also rely on spiritual energy to cultivate? Aren't they afraid of shooting themselves in the foot?"

This is also what Fang Chen is most confused about. Even if the demon cultivators know the reason why the Absolute Soul Swamp was formed, wouldn’t it be asking for trouble if they use this method to fight the enemy?
No matter how unconventional the evil cultivators are, they still rely on spiritual energy to practice, just like the cultivators.

What do you rely on?
"That's definitely not the case. The top leaders of the alliance have treasures bestowed by the Holy Realm, and they can walk easily in the Land of Absolute Spirits. It's just that digging the soil is not worth using such treasures, so they let us, the Sea Demon Gang, who are all physical cultivators, come here."

Dian Chu patted his chest and announced another bombshell piece of news.

"Holy Realm? Lao Lin, have you heard of this place?"

Fang Chen frowned. According to the settings in the novels he read in his previous life, the word "saint" cannot be used casually.

That is an existence that is higher than immortals.

"No, I've only heard of the spirit world and the fairy world. It's said that this world was once the spirit world, but the concentration of spiritual energy decreased, causing it to be downgraded to the mortal world."

Lin Qingshan shook his head and told all the information he knew.

"The demon cultivators have big plans."

Thinking of the fight between the two sects before he left Lianyunfang City, and combining it with the current actions of the demon cultivators, Fang Chen couldn't help but sigh.
