Mu Changqing nodded slightly. He naturally understood that this ancient land of reincarnation was a scheme concocted by the one above.
Including the Son of Destiny and other miscellaneous things.
Suddenly, Mu Changqing leaned closer to the old Taoist, a smile curling up the corners of his lips.
"Old man, is there anyone you dislike? Introduce their spokesperson, and I'll deal with them for you. As for the favor... forget it, I'm generous."
The old Taoist: ...
After hesitating for a moment, the old Taoist looked around with a lecherous expression and whispered sneakily.
"There is indeed one, and coincidentally, it's the destination of this starship, the Demon Realm."
Mu Changqing raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, saying meaningfully.
"Old man, weren't you planning to personally go and eliminate that person's spokesperson?"
"Heh, what are you talking about? How could I be such a sinister person? I just happened to board this starship. Don't slander me."
The old Taoist sat up straight and said with a serious expression, refusing to admit anything.
"Who is your spokesperson? Won't you introduce them? Don't worry, we hit it off immediately. If there's a chance, I'll definitely look out for them."
Mu Changqing couldn't be bothered to argue with him. After all, these old monsters were all deeply hidden.
They knew far more secrets than he did. He would try to glean as much as possible.
The old Taoist, upon hearing this, hurriedly shook his head with a look of vigilance.
"No, I have no spokesperson. Don't even think about it. Not a chance."
"Heh heh."
Mu Changqing gave a sarcastic smile. He was just asking casually and didn't expect to get any real information.
He continued.
"I can promise you that I will eliminate your sworn enemy's spokesperson for you. But you have to tell me who your sworn enemy is."
Seeing the old Taoist's conflicted expression, Mu Changqing, sensing an opportunity, enticed him further.
"Since you two don't get along, offending them won't hurt. Tell me, and we can scheme together. Perhaps we can even trick your sworn enemy. What do you say?"
The old Taoist cautiously sensed the myriad realms, then leaned closer to Mu Changqing and whispered.
"Ancestor of Demons."
"Ancestor of Demons!"
Mu Changqing repeated the title in a low voice. He had never heard of it before.
The old Taoist spoke again.
"The first innate god and demon born from Chaos and Primordial beginning before the heavens and earth were opened."
"That guy has a volatile temper, is moody, doesn't get along with anyone, acts lawlessly. Even the one above, he dares to confront. Tsk tsk tsk, he truly lives up to his name as the Ancestor of Demons."
"But he does have the capital to be arrogant. Among the innate beings, his combat power can rank in the top three. Extremely terrifying."
Mu Changqing was somewhat surprised. Such a terrifying existence was indeed formidable.
"Has his avatar descended to the myriad realms?"
Mu Changqing asked.
"Probably not. I'm not sure. That guy is arrogant and looks down on all beings, including innate beings. So no one wants to provoke him. Who would dare to scheme against his spokesperson?"
The old Taoist explained again, his words conveying his deep apprehension towards the Ancestor of Demons.
Mu Changqing pondered for a moment, then looked at the old Taoist with a smile.
"Since you say so, he's indeed difficult to deal with. How about we forget it and find someone else? For example... who is that Green Lotus woman? And who is her spokesperson?"
Mu Changqing's tone shifted, and the old Taoist was stunned, showing an expression of astonishment.
Then, realizing what he meant, he smiled bitterly.
"Emperor Burial, is there anyone in this world that you fear? Don't mess with me. If I reveal her identity and spokesperson, she'll beat me to death. I refuse."
The old Taoist shook his head frantically, steadfastly refusing.
Mu Changqing understood the principle of not being able to stand alone, even though he was confident in his invincibility.
But these innate beings were no simple characters. They were all beings who transcended the Dao.
Both in strength and means, they were incomparably powerful, capable of easily annihilating the myriad realms.
Moreover, these mysterious and unknown beings were deeply hidden. He was in the open, while they were in the dark.
Mu Changqing naturally needed to involve others, even if they were unreliable.
"If you don't tell me, I'll spread this matter throughout the myriad realms. Do you think the Ancestor of Demons will sense it and come looking for trouble?"
Seeing Mu Changqing's smiling expression, the old Taoist fell silent.
Adhering to the principle of "the death of a fellow Taoist is not a poor Taoist's concern," the old Taoist unhesitatingly sold out the Green Lotus woman.
"Before the heavens and earth were opened, the first Green Lotus in Chaos was her true form."
Seeing that Mu Changqing was about to speak again, the old Taoist frantically shook his head.
"No, I can't say any more. I'll be beaten to death."
Seeing the old Taoist's resolute refusal, Mu Changqing decided not to push his luck.
It was like cutting flesh with a dull knife; he couldn't scare him away all at once.
"Alright, I won't ask anymore. Let's plan to deal with the Ancestor of Demons' spokesperson."
"Do you know who his spokesperson is?"
The old Taoist shook his head and said.
"I only know that the Ancestor of Demons' spokesperson is in the Demon Realm. How about we travel together to the Demon Realm?"
"Very good."
The two reached an agreement to first trick the Ancestor of Demons.
...
Soon, the starship passed through many great worlds. After stopping, many cultivators disembarked and left.
Three months later, the starship was about to reach its destination.
Just then, the ship was shaken and attacked.
"Not good, it's a quasi-Immortal King level Starry Sky Beast!"
Someone exclaimed, and the entire starship fell into chaos.
In the starry sky, a round, gray giant beast floated on its four legs, its body spanning a million miles.
It looked down upon the starship, making the entire vessel appear as small as a toy.
Roar!
A deafening roar struck, causing the entire starship to sway unstably.
Just then, a cold shout was heard.
Following that, a quasi-Immortal King within the starship flashed out, exuding boundless immortal energy, blocking the starry sky beast's attack.
"Go, I'll hold him back."
The starship was traveling at extreme speed. The elder only needed to block for a moment to escape the starry sky beast's hunting range.
A fierce battle unfolded in the starry sky, with terrifying power erupting and brilliant lights streaking across tens of thousands of miles.
The starship also used this opportunity to rapidly distance itself from the battlefield.
Mu Changqing and the old Taoist stood side-by-side at the edge of the ship, watching the battle with great interest.
"Heh heh, interesting."
Mu Changqing glanced at the old man and said nothing.
He looked towards the distant starry sky with a different gaze.
The ship had not traveled far when a similarly sized vessel emerged from the void and rapidly collided with this starship.
"Not good, it's starship pirates!"
"Damn it, Elder Lin is entangled by the starry sky beast and can't escape at all."
"It's a trap! The starship pirates deliberately did this to lure the tiger away from its den."
Everyone panicked and was in disarray, as the starship pirates were infamous.
Any cultivator who fell into their hands would be completely plundered, killed, and thrown into the endless starry sky.
Bang!
A loud collision sounded as the starship was rammed and stopped by the pirate vessel.
Thousands of starship pirates appeared from above, wielding terrifying immortal artifacts and staring excitedly at the cultivators on the starship.
