Volume 13, Chapter 817 – I Am Your Ancestor (Part 1)

This place could be utilized too. It had both people and an environment. With just a bit of work, it could be transformed into a ready-made vegetable garden which was far easier than converting a barren, uninhabited planet.

Qi Huang immediately shared her thoughts with Cheng Hongling.

“You do as you see fit.”

Cheng Hongling voiced no objections. She had absolute trust in Qi Huang.

Qi Huang fell into deep thought. Evil entities had no human rights; she could imitate Lishui Planet and send these creatures to the Yin Planet No. 2 to work.

“No, that won’t work.”

She quickly dismissed that idea. The reason the evil spirits on Lishui Planet were willing to farm was because Huang Shu was there acting as an overseer. They weren’t volunteering to be laborers out of goodwill. She only had a few doppelgängers. If every vegetable patch needed a supervisor, she’d soon run out of people.

“I need to find a way to make them willingly farm for me.”

Qi Huang quickly adjusted her thinking. It was the same with cultivators, using brute force alone wouldn’t solve the fundamental problem.

The thoughts in her mind gradually grew clearer. She needed to come up with a foolproof strategy. Something that would not only persuade the evil entities of Kaiyuan Planet to willingly labor on the Yin Planet No. 2, but also convince the local cultivators to gladly farm for her.

She sunk deeper into contemplation, all while observing Kaiyuan Planet closely, hoping to discover a win-win solution.

“We should enter Kaiyuan Planet first. Only by thoroughly understanding the situation here can we come up with an effective strategy.”

Cheng Hongling suggested from the side.

Qi Huang found that very reasonable. The couple entered Kaiyuan Planet and temporarily settled in the imperial capital of one of its nations.

Qi Huang began her detailed investigation into Kaiyuan Planet, only to discover that its cultivation world was nearly identical to Lishui Planet’s. Not only was there an Immortal Alliance, but there were also numerous Immortal Clans and Immortal Steles.

Just as Qi Huang was struggling to decide where to begin, an unexpected event occurred. A teleportation gate suddenly opened in the neighboring Jinshan Nation’s capital. From it, hordes of foreign evil spirits surged forth. Many of them had already reached the level of flying corpses, and the leader among them, a general, was a “Demonic Zombie” equivalent in strength to a Human Immortal.

The cultivators and military forces of the capital responded swiftly, but they shattered upon contact. The entire city’s population was devoured in short order by the evil army.

Jinshan Nation’s capital fell. The evil forces began spreading in all directions, infecting nearby cities. Whether in the cultivation world or the mundane one, everyone was in a state of panic.

Seeing things go awry, the major sects of the Jinshan Empire immediately dispatched experts to intercept the threat.

A group of experts quickly confronted the Demonic Zombie general. They had been full of confidence, only to be slaughtered before they could even make a splash.

“All cultivators of Kaiyuan Planet, listen up! You have half a month. Hand over every woman in this world with red tear moles on her face. If you don’t, prepare for my ghost army to raze the entire continent!”

After slaughtering the experts, the evil general declared arrogantly, then turned to a few sub-commanders behind him: “Keep your underlings in check. Tell them to stay where they are.”

“General, why don’t we act now? I can barely contain myself!”

One flying corpse sub-commander asked in confusion, drooling at the mouth.

“Idiot. All you know is eat!”

The Demonic Zombie general snapped, then explained, “First, our manpower is limited. How long would it take to search for them ourselves? Can you bear the responsibility if we ruin our master’s grand plans? Second, this is at least a mid-grade world with many powerful cultivators. If you attack recklessly and run into an expert, what then? I’m stationed here to lure those experts out. Once they’re eliminated, you’ll be free to do whatever you want on this continent.”

“Brilliant strategy, General!”

The sub-commanders quickly flattered him.

The sects of the Jinshan Empire breathed a sigh of relief and immediately sent messengers to the Immortal Alliance seeking assistance.

“Teleportation gate… could it be one of Yang Jie’s subordinates?”

Qi Huang had been patiently observing for some time but soon realized that these evil spirits belonged to a different demon lord, one with only master-level strength.

“So aside from Yang Jie, there’s another demon lord searching for girls with blood tears on their faces?”

Qi Huang and Cheng Hongling were both stunned, and their expressions grew heavy. If there was one, there could be two. If there were two, there could be three. Just how many demon lords across the worlds were hunting for these girls?

“What are you planning to do? Are you going to save the people of this world?”

Cheng Hongling knew Qi Huang well, so she asked tentatively.

“I can’t ignore this.”

Qi Huang’s gaze turned resolute. “If their target really is me, then it means the people of this world are suffering because of me. That makes it my responsibility to save them, and not just halfway, but completely.”

“Completely? That would mean destroying the demon lord behind these evil spirits.”

Cheng Hongling confirmed.

“Exactly. Since I already know this one’s only at master-level, why not strike directly at their base and eliminate them? That way, I’ll also know for certain if I’m the one they’re looking for.”

Qi Huang’s eyes turned sharp.

After reaching an agreement, the couple formulated their plan. Qi Huang placed Cheng Hongling into her spatial ring and then set off.

She soon arrived within the borders of the Jinshan Empire and released Cheng Hongling.

“I’ll get rid of that Demonic Zombie general first. Once their morale collapses, they’ll retreat on their own. After that, I’ll follow them to the Immortal Realm and wipe out that demon lord.”

Qi Huang explained her plan.

“Alright. Let’s move.”

Cheng Hongling voiced her support.

“No rush. You know how I am. I never go into battle without just cause.”

Qi Huang winked mischievously.

“What are you plotting now?”

Cheng Hongling looked at her suspiciously.

“Don’t forget our original reason for coming to this planet. I can kill the Demonic Zombie general, but I have to make sure the entire planet knows about it. That way, getting them to farm for us later will be a piece of cake.”

Qi Huang’s lips curled into a grin.

“You’re wasting your talents not going into business.”

Cheng Hongling shook her head helplessly.

“It’s alright. Once I’ve taken down the Heavenly Dao, I’ll study business under my father-in-law.”

Qi Huang replied seriously, then released her Divine Sense to begin monitoring the Immortal Alliance of this world. She wanted to see how they would respond.

At that moment, in the Immortal Alliance’s main hall, an elder was reporting the invasion of Jinshan Empire by foreign evil spirits to the Alliance Leader.

“Alliance Leader, it’s said the leader of those evil spirits is exceptionally powerful. Even the Grand Elder of Lingxi Sect was slain.”

The elder’s tone was grim. Lingxi Sect was the largest sect in the Jinshan Empire.

“The Grand Elder of Lingxi Sect? But he had peak Divine Realm strength. That evil spirit is comparable to someone at the Heavenly Tribulation Realm?”

“What are you all so panicked about? Even if it’s Heavenly Tribulation Realm, so what? Isn’t our Alliance Leader still here?”

“And don’t forget, we’ve also got the elders of the Immortal Clans and the support of the Immortal Steles. What’s there to fear?”

A group of higher-ups dismissed the danger arrogantly.

“Everyone, since we don’t yet know the full strength of that zombie leader, let’s observe for now.”

The Alliance Leader, surnamed Wu, calmly gestured for silence.

“But that zombie general only gave us half a month.”

The previous elder reminded him.

“It’s fine. Let them scare the people of the Jinshan Empire a little. Over the years, we’ve eliminated countless evil spirits in the name of protecting the world. The mortals have lived in peace for so long they no longer respect the Immortal Alliance. This incident is the perfect opportunity to reassert our authority.”

Alliance Leader Wu revealed his plan.

“Yes, brilliant strategy, Alliance Leader!”

The senior officials quickly flattered him.

Qi Huang withdrew her Divine Sense, her face full of disgust. This Immortal Alliance was just like the one on Lishui Planet, composed of selfish, short-sighted fools.

Days passed. The deadline was drawing near, but no support came from the Immortal Alliance. This left the sects within Jinshan Empire increasingly desperate.

Inside Lingxi Sect’s main hall, the beautiful but exhausted sect leader was seeking advice from the upper echelons.

“If those evil spirits want girls with red tear moles on their faces, then let’s just find one and hand her over.”

An elderly white-haired elder offered a stupid idea, clearly leaning toward surrender.

“Elder He, are you insane? Since when can we trust the word of evil spirits? I guarantee even if we hand over the girl, they’ll still raze Jinshan Empire and the cultivation world.”

A younger elder immediately refuted him.

“He’s right. We’re weaker now. Why would they let such easy prey go?”

Another male elder chimed in.

“Then what do you propose? Fight them head-on? Even the Grand Elder was killed, what hope do we have?”

Elder He demanded.

The senior members exchanged helpless glances. No one had a solution.

“Those bastards in the Immortal Alliance! Just going to let us die? And they call themselves guardians of the world?”

The sect leader slammed the armrest of her throne into dust, then stood up with resolve.

“Everyone, if the Immortal Alliance won’t help, we’ll find another way. Surely none of you have forgotten, we once had a female sect leader who ascended. If we pray sincerely to her, she will protect us.”

“You mean Ancestor Zhong Zhen? But didn’t the Immortal Stele she left us disappear centuries ago? Will she really hear our prayers?”

Someone asked worriedly.

“She will!”

The sect leader bit her red lip and replied with unwavering certainty.

“Yes, she will!”

Qi Huang withdrew her Divine Sense again, this time with a smile curling on her lips.
