Chapter 18: A Bandit's Den in the Primordial Wilderness, Specializing in Scamming People of the
The Taoist Master Taiqing is beating up the Mu family patriarch online. The venerable Taoist priest, who looks like a shrew, is riding on the Mu family patriarch and throwing left and right hooks, making the Mu family patriarch curse and yell.
Even Meng Chen couldn't stand it anymore.
It's not that I think the Master of Taiqing is going too far, but I feel that this damages his image as a highly accomplished Taoist.
"Queen Mother, does Daoist Qingchen have a grudge against the Mu family of Changsheng?"
Meng Chen asked the Queen Mother of the West in a low voice, and the Queen Mother of the West nodded and began to recount a story from the primordial era.
Tens of thousands of years ago, before the Taiqing Dao and the Taiqing Holy Land were separated, Master Qingchen was just a gatekeeper disciple of the Taiqing Dao, not even a personal disciple.
In order to destroy the prehistoric world, the ancestral court infiltrated many sects in the prehistoric world. Many sects were not aware of this in time and were either severely damaged or split up.
The target of Taiqing Dao is the Changsheng Mu family.
Master Qingchen's most respected ancestor was killed by the Mu family, which is why he harbors such deep resentment towards them.
Meng Chen lowered his eyes and looked at the Mu family patriarch, whose soul was almost completely destroyed by the attack. A hint of killing intent rose deep in his eyes.
The methods used by the cultivators of the Ancestral Court are so despicable that they are simply outrageous!
Ordinary cultivators thought that the war between the two realms was simply a battle between high-level cultivators, similar to a martial arts competition in an arena.
However, the method used by the ancestral court was to have high-level cultivators surround and kill the high-level cultivators of the prehistoric world, leaving the prehistoric lineage leaderless, and then send people to infiltrate the prehistoric world.
A change of dynasty, a usurpation of power.
They destroyed the existing culture of the prehistoric world, then fabricated the ancestral culture they desired, deeply engraving the so-called supreme ancestral culture into the hearts of every living being in the prehistoric world.
Decapitation, infiltration, assimilation, enslavement.
This is the consistent method used by the ancestral court.
The countless life-bearing planets in the universe have all been tamed by the Ancestral Court using this process.
If this process doesn't work, then the ancestral court will unleash their ultimate weapon.
Darkness and turmoil.
The emperors of the ancestral court, who needed to replenish their food supplies, took action, repeatedly clearing out and slaughtering those life-source planets that refused to submit, until flowers bloomed on the wasteland to the satisfaction of the ancestral court, and only then would the ancestral court stop!
If Meng Chen hadn't become an Emperor, the Ancestral Court's process targeting the ancient star in the primordial world would probably have succeeded.
After all, they have already reached the infiltration stage and are not far from assimilation.
Even if the Queen Mother of the West, the Lord of Leize, and the Ancestral Court were to explode, the final result would only be the cleansing and annihilation of the Primordial World by the Emperor Ancestor of the Ancestral Court, until the Primordial World became what they wanted it to be.
After giving the Mu family patriarch a good beating, the Taiqing Dao Master felt refreshed and his Dao heart was clear. As he got up, he didn't forget to give the Mu family patriarch a couple more kicks.
"With the Heavenly Venerable above, this is fucking awesome!"
The Master of Taiqing took the whisk back into his hand, flicked it, and laughed heartily, expelling all the pent-up frustration he had accumulated over the years.
Palace Master Lei Ze and the others were also eager to try their luck, which made the Ao family patriarch tremble and hate the Mu family patriarch to death.
"Your Majesty, this Mu Tianqiong has offended you and deserves to be punished. I didn't say anything. After you've finished beating him, you can't beat me too!"
The Ao family patriarch was on the verge of tears. It wasn't that he was afraid of pain, but being beaten to the ground by a group of primitive bastards wasn't very physically damaging, but it was extremely humiliating.
Seeing this, King Lei Ze coldly snorted, "You have shown disrespect to His Majesty; even if I were to suppress you here today, it wouldn't be enough!"
Upon hearing this, the Ao family patriarch repeatedly begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, I am willing to compensate on behalf of Mu Tianqiong. I only beg Your Majesty to be magnanimous and forgive his disrespect."
This whole mess was caused by the Mu family patriarch. No matter what kind of compensation Emperor Chen Tian wants, he will agree to it. He himself will not pay any compensation; if anyone is to pay, it will be the Mu family patriarch.
Upon hearing this, Meng Chen was not about to let go of the opportunity to make an exorbitant demand.
"In that case, I happen to be short of some immortal gold and divine materials for refining artifacts. So prepare for me 100,000 catties of each of the nine kinds of immortal gold, plus a piece of chaotic immortal treasure and a root of primordial qi."
Upon hearing this, the Ao family patriarch was stunned, and the Mu family patriarch, who had just gathered his soul, collapsed once again.
Good heavens, he just opened his mouth and asked for 100,000 catties of each of the nine great immortal golds, as well as the Chaos Immortal Treasure and the Xuanhuang Mother Qi Root.
Putting aside the Nine Great Immortal Golds, they had only heard of the latter two in myths and legends, and had never even seen them!
The Ao family patriarch fell silent, looking at the Mu family patriarch who had struggled to reunite his soul.
The Mu family patriarch was suffering, in pain, and feeling utterly aggrieved!
He was the ancestor of the Changsheng Mu family, revered and worshipped by countless cultivators in the ancestral temple.
As a result, after arriving in this primordial world, his physical body was crushed by the Emperor's might, he was rubbed into the ground, and now he is being targeted by a humanoid gluttonous beast.
There was a moment when the Mu family patriarch really wanted to give up!
A moment later, the soul of the Mu family patriarch finally reassembled.
Looking up at the magnificent imperial figure on the throne, the Mu family patriarch asked in a stiff voice with difficulty:
"Your Majesty, the Chaos Immortal Treasures and the Primordial Qi Root have never appeared in the world before, nor does the Ancestral Court possess them. The Nine Great Immortal Golds are also extremely rare, and my Mu family has very few of them. Could we exchange them for something else?"
The Mu family patriarch did not want to pay compensation, but if he did not pay today, he would definitely not be able to leave this prehistoric world, and even the Mu family behind him would be purged.
Those guys from the Ancestral Court won't help the Mu family. They're all cold-blooded. If one of their longevity families is eliminated, they can get a bigger share of longevity materials and cultivation resources.
"We beg the Heavenly Emperor for mercy!"
The Mu family patriarch lowered his stance to the extreme, pleading with Meng Chen to reduce the compensation, saying that the nine immortal gold items were still negotiable.
But the Mu family simply couldn't afford the other two items!
Meng Chen lightly tapped the imperial throne with his fingertips. Even without the aura of an emperor, it still exerted unbearable pressure on the two old men of the ancestral court.
"I am not such an unreasonable person. How about this, I will forgive your offense by giving you 150,000 catties of each of the nine immortal golds, one million catties of divine source, and three immortality elixir fruits."
When the Ao family patriarch heard the amount, he was very pleased. Not bad, not bad, it's more than what he lost.
The Mu family patriarch was also heartbroken. The divine source was still acceptable, but the immortal gold and the immortality elixir fruit were like cutting flesh and bleeding the Mu family dry!
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor. I will immediately send a message to the younger generation of my clan to have them send over the apology gifts."
The Mu family patriarch gritted his teeth and finally nodded in agreement, fearing that any attempt to bargain would only make his situation more difficult.
Meng Chen nodded in satisfaction, lifted the seal on Taihao Palace, and allowed the Mu family patriarch to send a message.
On the other side, the ancestral temple.
The Mu family was shocked and furious when they received the message from their ancestor. They clamored to awaken the Emperor Ancestor in the Immortal Land of Longevity, but the Mu family's Emperor Ancestor only sent them a single word.
"Give."
The Mu family members had no choice but to endure the humiliation and send the immortal gold, the elixir of immortality, and the divine source that their ancestor had promised to them to the ancient star of the primordial wilderness.
A few days later, the Mu family's deliveryman arrived.
One hand delivers the goods, the other hand delivers the person.
Each of the nine immortal golds weighed 150,000 jin, along with three immortality elixir fruits and one million jin of divine essence.
After the inventory was completed, the Mu family patriarch finally breathed a sigh of relief and left with the younger generation of the Mu family.
Seeing that the Mu family patriarch had left and abandoned him, the Ao family patriarch anxiously cried out, "Me? I'm still here!"
But the Mu family patriarch didn't care about him at all.
This old swindler, you cheated me and now you want me to take you away? You're dreaming!
In the end, it was only after the Ao family patriarch himself paid out one million catties of divine essence that he was able to redeem himself from the "bandit's den".
The patriarch of the Ao family swore that he would never come to this bandit's den again!
