Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

Chapter 176 126, as if all the yellow hair in the world

"What a well-mannered young man,"

"Indeed, very polite,"

Under the shroud of starry night and moonlight, these two people looked down upon Tan Shuchang. Originally, their approach had seemed somewhat aggressive, but as soon as they began to speak, both their words and their tone were entirely different.

There wasn't the slightest hint of sharpness.

Even after they had finished speaking, these two figures voluntarily lowered their stance to stand on the ground of Black Heart Mountain, level with Tan Shuchang.

Originally, the two had been in mid-air.

"You aren't here looking for trouble, are you?" Tan Shuchang asked, surprised.

After all, the contrast between their previous and current demeanour was quite significant.

"We won't hide it from you, we did indeed come with that intention. After all, you, young man, have caused one of our juniors to suffer a great loss in his cultivation. For at least the next thousand years, he will not be able to advance an inch," the two said candidly. However, when speaking of this conflict, there wasn't the slightest fluctuation in their tone; it remained very calm.

Upon hearing this, Tan Shuchang couldn't help but ask, "Are you seniors of Dugu Senior?"

If anyone was qualified to speak of a thousand years, in Tan Shuchang's opinion, among the people he had offended, it was only this one. As for the others, aside from those "Ancestor" beings, there were no more opponents for him under the heavens.

"The young one is astute,"

The two admitted to their identity and introduced themselves one after the other.

"We won't conceal it from you. Our scheming around the Son of the Heavenly Mandate is indeed for the chance of Immortality.

Sword Disciple Mountain knew about it earliest; we don't know where they got their information from..." Gu Zhengyi did not hide his confusion because, despite being direct descendants of the Ancestor of the Dao, Sword Disciple Mountain had no chance against Sword Temple, which masters the Five Greater Sword Daos!

However, after the people from Sword Disciple Mountain Ascended, their strength surged, and they had already started making plans within the Jiawu Realm early on.

If they hadn't also come from Jiawu Realm, by the time Sword Disciple Mountain succeeded, they would probably still be in the dark!

"That means the seniors from Sword Temple are still a step ahead," Tan Shuchang said. Of course, he only said this out of politeness, for he suddenly felt that Long Zhangyuan was likely just a smokescreen released on purpose by the ancestors of Sword Disciple Mountain.

To have these Triple-Certification Ascenders go to such lengths for a chance at Immortality suggested that relying only on Long Zhangyuan was somewhat of a joke.

When the mountain falls, you can only rely on yourself in this world. It was incredibly foolish to pin one's hopes on another since the slightest change in their intention could shatter those hopes.

But this was of no concern to Tan Shuchang; he hadn't even achieved the first level of immortality, so such chances for Immortality were too far from him.

Tan Shuchang had always known his place.

After crossing over, he hid his special qualities and lived with his birth mother for five years without showing any signs.

Entering the Tan family, where cultivation was not permitted, Tan Shuchang refrained from touching any Cultivation Techniques, taking the opportunity to learn about the cultivation world or somesuch common thing like Ghost Suppressing Technique.

After leaving Jingzhou and being abducted by his mentor, the Heartless Old Man, to Black Heart Mountain, Tan Shuchang neither fled nor formed cliques like his eldest sister and second brother did. He simply focused on cultivating and constantly sought ways to get rid of his mentor.

Having finally killed his mentor, the Heartless Old Man, Tan Shuchang's mentality did not change in the slightest. He remained consistent: unarrogant, unperturbed, not bloodthirsty, not indifferent, courteous to others, and always abiding by etiquette.
