Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 362 - 259: Decrees Capturing the Heart, Lady Mei in Danger

In the quiet room of Zhang Mansion, Tao Qian held Yunrong, a man and a cat, as they stared into the eyes of an ancient and bizarre Outer Realm Heavenly Demon.

Even Yunrong was full of curiosity, her eyes revealing an expression similar to saying "seeing is believing." freewebnøvel.com

The air was swirling with incense, with trails of sandalwood drifting about, originating from an old monk.

This monk, holding an iron bowl in one hand and a tin staff in the other, had kind eyes and benevolent brows, with two long white eyebrows hanging down to his shoulders. Such a figure was not uncommon in temples, with hundreds, if not thousands, resembling him.

However, above the monk's forehead appeared something that resembled a burning "incense," with red light flashing from the accumulated black ash.

The tranquil aroma of sandalwood filled the quiet room.

Human-shaped Buddha Incense?

Tao Qian and Yunrong looked on curiously as the old monk, with a worried expression, bowed and chanted a Buddhist phrase, seeking mercy.

"Amitabha!"

"One's greed can bring endless harm; the Buddha truly does not deceive."

"This poor monk has consumed the Master's Demon Pill and fallen into the Master's trap. I am willing to serve the Master without much resentment."

"But, the Master is merely at the Foundation Establishment Realm. Why send me to convey a message to a Demon Buddha Arhat in the Ultimate Happiness Realm? The Kongchan Arhat is not someone to mess with. If I go, I fear I might not be able to return. Could the Master spare this poor monk's life?"

This constantly burning bald-headed old monk was naturally the Buddha Incense Demon that Tao Qian had captured.

This demon was indeed rare. Previously, when Tao Qian summoned demons using the "Ten Thousand Demon List," he could easily call forth Outer Realm Demons without much effort.

However, summoning this old monk had taken a long time.

And only under Yuan Gong's guidance was he subdued.

If demons could not control their greed, even with the good fortune of a "Corpse Demonic Sky Demon Elixir," it would be extremely difficult to succeed.

The Buddha Incense Demon originated from all Buddhist practitioners in this world.

Monks and nuns adored this demon the most; having this old monk by their side, constantly smelling the Buddha Incense, enabled them to practice any form of Buddhist Law, from the orthodox Great Freedom Temple to the questionable Demon Buddha Temple, doubling their efforts.

However, the fragrance emitted by this demon was poisonous.

Over time, it became impossible to break free, and instead, it turned to embrace him at his disposal.

Most Buddhist practitioners who could own a "Buddha Incense Demon" would neither suck nor refine it, indeed reluctant to send it to its death.

Unfortunately, Tao Qian was not a true Buddhist practitioner.

Upon hearing this, he immediately smiled and said:

"Go ahead, Daoist, and I assure you, as long as you convey the message, not only will that Kongchan Arhat not trouble you, he might even offer you great benefits, and it's not impossible for him to rid you of the Corpse Poison."

"However, thinking over, this matter is indeed dangerous; well, let me give you your reward first."

"Just so you know, among all the demons I have summoned, none but you, Daoist, has managed to receive benefits in advance from me."

After these words, Tao Qian suddenly waved his sleeve.

Three unadulterated Heavenly Demon Pills emerged and fell directly into the incense cloud drifting from the top of the Buddha Incense Demon.

With everything said, obviously, the Buddha Incense Demon knew it couldn't refuse.

He swallowed the Demon Pills wrapped in the fragrant air and then, with a worried expression and hands clasped, said: "Master is generous; I will go."

Afterward, the old monk transformed into a wisp of fragrance and swiftly entered the Void, disappearing from sight.

As the Buddha Incense Demon left, Tao Qian did not rest.

He had already arranged with the "National Salvation Congress," and once the hour came, someone would come to take away both the "All Heavens Secret Demon Scripture Formless Chapter" and the trained Rashamon Girl.

This Cultivation Technique! Tao Qian had brought back the Buddha Incense Demon from the Outer Realm incidentally.

With guidance from an old demon of the Secret Demon Sect, Tao Qian was spared the woes of drawing lots.

Refining the demon once yielded results.

However, one step was still lacking; as part of the agreement, Rashamon Girl An Ya needed to be handed over to Yin Qiye.

Yet, this girl was also a risk.

She had a significant influence on Yin Qiye, and no one knew if she would abide by the agreement once freed.

Neither Tao Qian nor the National Salvation Congress were naive.

To prevent any surprises, employing extraordinary measures was indeed necessary.

Just then, Tao Qian took Rashamon Girl out from the Holy Embryo Bag again.

While she was dazed and weak, Tao Qian fetched the Demon Gourd, gave it a shake, and out tumbled a "Decree Demon" that looked very much like a young commanding general.

Before the little devil could stand firm, Tao Qian's voice came through:

"Alter this girl's will to favor the general populace of the Longevity Heavenly Dynasty, subtly influencing Yin Qiye."

"Be subtle, not too obvious."

"Yes, Master."

Excited with the order, the Decree Demon fully embraced his role, seeing himself as a loyal commander under the Master's command.

Previously, a good opportunity had been snatched by a Body Demon, and just now, he had seen the Buddha Incense Demon receiving a tasty reward. The demons in the Demon Gourd were quite resentful, and finally, it was his turn.

Instantly, the Decree Demon transformed into a streak of Demon Light and rapidly entered inside Rashamon Girl's Divine Soul.

Soon, he returned like a triumphant general, vigorous and spirited, announcing:

"Master, it is done."

"Effortlessly, this Minority Clan girl indeed harbored sinister intentions, planning to elope with Yin Qiye and take his Heavenly Demon Army away from the Longevity Heavenly Dynasty to her own clan's nation, helping her clear many obstacles, including her father, to ascend as the queen. She had grand ambitions."

"Now, I've changed all that, yes, just like how that human girl named Shi Ying Qiong was changed."

As the Decree Demon spoke, he looked at Tao Qian with eyes full of expectation.
