No hope for eternal life

Chapter 497 The Worst Possibility

"Then think about what the worst possible scenario is?" Xiao Niansheng reminded. She actually already had some guesses in her mind.

"The worst possible outcome?" Mu Changsheng frowned slightly and pondered.

After a long time, Mu Changsheng suddenly thought of the attitude of Demon Emperor Bai Xun and Ape Demon King towards the Nine Infants Demon King. His eyes suddenly widened, and he thought of an extremely terrifying possibility: "The worst possibility is that the Nine Infants Demon King is going to reach the Ninth Realm!"

Xiao Niansheng nodded slightly. This was exactly the kind of situation she was most worried about: "Whether it is true or not, we have to deal with this matter according to the worst possible scenario. You have to find out as quickly as possible whether the Nine Infants Demon King is going to transcend the tribulation and reach the ninth realm. If so, you have to find out where he is transcending the tribulation, in the Heavenly Demon Realm or in the void outside the realm. Only then can we try to stop him from transcending the tribulation."

"Disciple understands." Mu Changsheng said solemnly, he had witnessed with his own eyes the extraordinary talents of the Nine Infants clan, if the Nine Infants Demon King really were to become a ninth realm, the demon clan would gain a great helper and the human race would gain a great enemy, he would not sit idly by and watch.

"You can start with Ying Qing. Anyway, you need to capture a Nine Infants cultivator to study the inscriptions. If you can capture Ying Qing, you can kill two birds with one stone." Xiao Niansheng suggested to Mu Changsheng.

"Yeah." Mu Changsheng nodded slightly after hearing this. Judging from the current situation, Ying Qing is undoubtedly the best breakthrough point.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng's white-clothed clone in the Heavenly Demon Realm began to act. He first went to the cave where the Nine-Infant Demon King was, and asked to see him under the pretext of thanking the Nine-Infant Demon King for his favor. However, the formation spirit in the cave told him: "The Demon King is in seclusion and will not see anyone."

Upon hearing this news, Mu Changsheng couldn't help but feel nervous. The worst possible scenario at the moment was that the Nine Infants Demon King was already quietly undergoing the tribulation in some unknown place.

The only good news is that the wind and thunder tribulation that the Ninth Realm cultivators have to endure will last at least three months. As long as Mu Changsheng can find out the location where the Nine Infants Demon King is undergoing the tribulation in time, he will still be able to stop it.

"It has only been seven days since I last saw the Nine Infants Demon King. Even if he has already transcended the tribulation, it is very likely that he has just started it. But it is not certain. Maybe what I saw last time was just the Nine Infants Demon King's clone, and his original body had already begun to transcend the tribulation." Mu Changsheng kept calculating, and the sense of urgency in his heart became even stronger. He now had to calculate everything according to the worst possible scenario.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng turned to look for Ying Qing. He had originally planned to wait for Ying Qing to pass the tribulation and reach the Divine Sea Realm before taking action against him, but now time waits for no one, so he had to change his plan and take a risk.

In fact, it had been less than two hours since Mu Changsheng last met Ying Qing, so Ying Qing was interrupted by Mu Changsheng before he could even begin to cross the Divine Sea Thunder Tribulation.

"Is there something that brings you to me so soon?" Ying Qing asked with some confusion.

Mu Changsheng pretended to be in a dilemma and said hesitantly: "The young master has done me a favor. I hesitated for a long time and decided to report a secret to the young master."

"Oh, what secret?" Ying Qing asked with a little interest.

"I discovered a sky crystal vein in the Ape Demon Territory!" Mu Changsheng whispered, and at the same time showed Ying Qing a small piece of sky crystal ore.

Of course, Mu Changsheng did not find any Tianjing mine. The Tianjing ore in his hand was just obtained by using the treasure hunting secret technique before. These were just excuses he used to deceive Ying Qing.

"Tian Jing Mine!" Ying Qing's breath immediately became heavy when he heard this. He couldn't help but be tempted, because Tian Jing Ore is a ninth-grade ore, priceless. A small piece can be worth tens of thousands of top-grade spirit stones, not to mention an entire Tian Jing vein.

"The location of the Tianjing Mine is extremely hidden, and I have also taken some cover-up measures. No other cultivators should find it for the time being. However, I am still worried that things will get more complicated. It is better to empty the entire Tianjing Mine as soon as possible. I know that I can't take up the entire Tianjing Mine, so I specially invite the young master to share it with me." Mu Changsheng said sincerely.

"Okay, okay, you will be credited for this. When I really get the Tianjing Mine back, I will definitely recommend you for credit." Ying Qing said with a hearty laugh.

"Then let's set off now." Mu Changsheng suggested.

"We?" Ying Qing shook his head and smiled: "No, I am enough. You defected from the Ape Demon Territory. If you go to the Ape Demon Territory again, it will be too conspicuous. So, you point out the location to me. When I take back the Sky Crystal Mine, you will definitely benefit from it."

Ying Qing said this, obviously wanting to take over the entire Tianjing Mine.

"This..." Mu Changsheng's face changed slightly, and he pretended to be very embarrassed. In fact, he was already very happy in his heart. This was what he wanted most. If Ying Qing really generously took him to divide the Tianjing Mine, he would be in a difficult situation. Because once Ying Qing left the Jiuying ancestral land with him and was killed, he would definitely be the first to be suspected. In this way, his undercover career would be over. Only Ying Qing went out alone, and even if he was killed, it would not have much to do with him.

Moreover, the value of the Tianjing Mine is enough that Ying Qing would not tell anyone in advance, so that others would not know that Ying Qing was killed because of the Tianjing Mine, and Mu Changsheng could clear himself completely.

Of course, this is an ideal situation. If Ying Qing agrees to take him with him, and if Ying Qing will bring a Divine Sea Realm guard with him, then Mu Changsheng will decisively choose to abandon his current identity, go all out, and capture Ying Qing by force!

On the other side, Ying Qing saw that Mu Changsheng had an ugly face and was reluctant to answer, so he stared at him and asked, "Why, you don't want to?"

"I dare not." Mu Changsheng pretended to surrender, took out a map of the Ape Demon Territory, pointed out, "The Sky Crystal Mine is a thousand miles underground here."

Seeing this, Ying Qing's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to verify it. At the same time, he reminded Mu Changsheng: "Don't let a third party know about this."

Watching Ying Qing leave in a hurry, Mu Changsheng showed a smile. So far, everything was going well.

On the other side, the incarnations of divine power that Mu Changsheng left outside had already taken action. In order to ensure that there would be no mistakes in dealing with Ying Qing this time, he dispatched all the incarnations of divine power that could still be used, a total of three incarnations of divine power.

Half an hour later, just as Mu Changsheng expected, Ying Qing arrived at the target location alone, and there was no Divine Sea Realm guard following him.

Thus, before Ying Qing could notice or react, Mu Changsheng's three incarnations of divine power had already taken action.

Mu Changsheng used the chain formations he had set up in advance to trap Ying Qing a thousand miles underground. At this depth, few cultivators would notice him, which was just right for Mu Changsheng to slowly deal with Ying Qing.

When Ying Qing saw this, he immediately realized that he had been tricked, and shouted angrily: "Yuan Tong, how dare you plot against me."

Mu Changsheng did not answer, but mobilized the power of the formation to suppress Ying Qing. What he feared most now was that Ying Qing would commit suicide. If Ying Qing committed suicide, all his efforts would be in vain, so he had to capture Ying Qing before he made up his mind to commit suicide.
