Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 536 - 376: Imperial Authority, Emperor Yun! (Double-Length)_2

Now, the enterprises under his name are thriving under the management of Song Ping’an.

The production of the wine has already spread throughout the Cui Bai Dao area, with this restaurant in Tai Nan City being one of them.

Su Yaoguang, hearing this, couldn’t help but say: "I somewhat understand why you chose the path of imperial authority now. The scenery on the mountain is ultimately monotonous, not as free as you..."

Although mountain gate disciples have ample cultivation materials, for people like her and Nan Wuji, who make rapid progress in their cultivation, no amount of spirit crystals is sufficient for their daily needs.

Therefore, she had actually considered, like Song Changming, seeking opportunities outside the mountain gate to gather wealth and earn more cultivation resources.

She even considered relocating the Wangyue Pavilion from Da Lai to the Ancient Abyss Country.

But unfortunately, due to the restrictions of the mountain gate, these plans have yet to be implemented and have been temporarily shelved.

This is also why she feels less free than Song Changming.

After all, the Military Department where Song Changming is won’t interfere so broadly.

"The mountain has its own goodness; without a master or the reliance of a mountain gate, when out in the world, if you don’t strive, everyone will look down on you," Song Changming said while sipping wine.

He appeared freer than Su Yaoguang and Nan Wuji, but even this was relative. Different paths have their benefits and naturally their drawbacks.

Su Yaoguang’s face remained indifferent, but what she thought in her heart, only she knew.

Nan Wuji, on the other hand, had his own considerations.

"Senior, you mentioned going to Shangli Dao; could it be to Yunzhou Imperial City?" Song Changming suddenly asked.

Su Yaoguang nodded, replying, "Both my master and Nan Wuji’s master are now in Yunzhou Imperial City. We are heading there to meet them, but were delayed here when we saw this city was besieged by the demon race."

Song Changming understood and had some interest in the imperial city of Shangli Dao.

In that city sits the unparalleled figure, Emperor Yun, who rules over the entirety of Yun Province from the imperial palace.

He was genuinely curious about what kind of person could have the authority to command the entire Yun Province, making the Thirty Six Kings bow in submission!

Song Changming now has the backing of imperial authority, which is the power of Prince Cui in the Cui Bai Dao territories.

And behind that power is this imperial authority, none other than the world-renowned Emperor Yun!

Such a colossal figure, even he wanted to go and see for himself.

According to Su Yaoguang, their master was heading to the imperial city as the representative of Spirit Sword Mountain to meet Emperor Yun!

To have such qualifications, it seems Su Yaoguang and Nan Wuji must be apprenticed to extraordinary masters.

They both did extremely well on Spirit Sword Mountain.

The three reunited, had much to talk about.

Until they renewed the wine twice, and only at sunset did the three part ways.

Before leaving, they hoped Song Changming would have the time to check on Da Lai’s Wangyue Pavilion and the situation at Sword Cliff and inform them afterward.

Due to the sect’s restrictions, they couldn’t return at all and could only rely on Song Changming.

The three also exchanged Sound Transmission Jade Scrolls.

This Sound Transmission Jade Scroll is a talisman, with a level Four Spirit Rune engraved as its core.

It is not expensive to produce, but quite difficult to make.

Not many Talisman Masters can handle Spirit Runes.

Therefore, the Sound Transmission Jade Scroll has always been scarce and rarely available on the market.

Without connections to Talisman Masters, it’s basically impossible to purchase.

Song Changming’s mastery of Talisman Tao hadn’t reached the level of refining level Four Talismans.

And he hadn’t had the chance to learn and master Spirit Runes.

But over the years, relying on his influence in the Military Department, coupled with Song Ping’an’s connections outside, he had met some Talisman Master connections.

It wasn’t difficult for him to buy one or two Sound Transmission Jade Scrolls.

Those who have a Sound Transmission Jade Scroll can deposit a trace of Spiritual Power and a strand of Gang Qi within, enabling long-distance communication.

The operation is not complicated and quite convenient.

The following day, several people from Spirit Sword Mountain left the city, heading to Yunzhou Imperial City.

Regarding this, several Grand Marshals in the army only felt regretful; originally, having these Spirit Sword Mountain disciples meant they could have more top-tier battle teams available.

Even the City Lord of Tai Nan City made several attempts to retain them, but to no avail, and could only send them off repeatedly.

Then two more days passed.

The three city gates of Tai Nan City opened wide, and the transport troops divided into three groups, quickly heading towards predetermined targets.

The geographic location of Tai Nan City makes it a supply relay for the southern defensive line.

The supplies from the rear must pass through Tai Nan City for secondary scheduling before being transported to the frontline.

In a wilderness, the Changling Mountain Dao stretches over a hundred miles.

This path is located between Tai Nan City and Feng City, mostly rugged terrain with strange rocks, often gathering crows and vultures, earning it the name Crow Ridge.

Today, there were few crows and vultures at this place; amid one of the ridges stood a dozen or so figures, either burly or slender.

The three at the forefront, if Song Changming were present, would certainly be very familiar.

They were the head demons that once followed the Netherworld Dog to ambush him.

Azure Scaled Leopard Demon, Shadow Spider Demon, and that Azure Elephant Demon!

The Azure Elephant Demon still appeared excessively burly, face straight, scanning the empty path below, still feeling a bit uneasy, asked.

"Are you sure those Human Race supplies will come?"

"This matter was arranged by the Thunder Wheel Tiger, we just have to follow through, no need to ask more," said the Azure Scaled Leopard Demon, with a hint of frustration and restraint in his voice.

"Or do you have a way to get rid of that fierce tiger?"

The Azure Elephant Demon was at a loss for words, saying nothing more.

If he had a way, he would have left without looking back, and how could he still be staying in this place for so long.

"Enough talk, no matter what, only if we accomplish this can we leave," Shadow Spider Demon glanced at the two demons, saying in a sinister tone.

He no longer bore a relaxed smile on his face.

This time, coming to Human Race territory, they hardly tasted human blood, only faced setbacks.

Whether against Song Changming or later facing Thunder Wheel Tiger Demon, they never gained an advantage but instead repeatedly suffered losses.

Their strength among demons was considered strong, yet they couldn’t understand why teaming up couldn’t get things done.

"What if after accomplishing it, the Thunder Wheel Tiger goes back on his word?" Azure Elephant Demon, too, was growing irritated.

"We are at his mercy, no choice now..." Azure Scaled Leopard Demon stopped midway, his gaze drifting into the distance.

Approaching the mountain path, a Human Race team was swiftly passing through.

"It’s coming!" Shadow Spider Demon said, his eyes starting to turn dangerous.

The information was correct; indeed, a Human Race transport unit was arriving today.

Next, it was time for them to make their move.

The Azure Elephant Demon still hesitated, feeling an ominous premonition that once they made a move, danger would abound!

The eyes of the Azure Scaled Leopard Demon began to change, turning into vertical beast pupils, scanning over the approaching Human Race team.

"No powerful characters, the strongest isn’t in the Innate Perfection Realm of a Martial Artist, should be at the level of having opened eight Martial Veins."

Shadow Spider Demon nodded upon hearing this.

"Then there’s nothing to worry about, just kill them all."

The Azure Elephant Demon also felt slightly relieved, perhaps he was overthinking it.

As strong as they were, they couldn’t keep bumping into challenging situations.

"Kill!" The Azure Elephant Demon began to morph, his eyes glowing with increasing ferocity.

He was going to wreak havoc and unleash all his pent-up frustration and anger.

Though he was the most hesitant and reluctant before, he was now the most eager to kill.

He couldn’t even wait for the Human Race team to get closer before he moved to attack.

An elephant’s roar echoed across the sky, of immense power, also alerting the distant approaching Human Race transport team.

"This guy!" The Azure Scaled Leopard Demon snorted, displeased with Azure Elephant Demon’s impulsive action, but had no choice but to follow.

Now they had to ensure the completion of the task to hope for release.

This was not just a matter for one demon but their survival as well.

If something went wrong, none of them would fare well!
