Chapter 1603: Chapter 544: 4th-Tier Deep Sea Demon Whale King! Pay-to-Win Child Rearing! (Part 2)

Even Lu Changsheng did not know where the two got their confidence and assurance from.

“Of course, Daoists, take your time to consider. If you agree, we shall discuss the details.”

Meng Wuheng did not push.

“Hoo!”

After the two left, Lu Changsheng exhaled a long breath.

Raising his hand, he set up a barrier and turned to the side where Hong Lian, who had an ordinary appearance but an aristocratic aura, was standing. He asked, “Hong Lian, what do you think of this matter?”

“Master, if they dare speak of hunting a Fourth Rank Demon King, their strength is probably higher than I imagined, possibly reaching Core Formation Peak.”

Hong Lian pondered slightly and said with a sweet smile, “If what they say is true and they are proficient in divination and observation, then they might misunderstand us significantly.”

“Oh?”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, not understanding what she meant.

“The art of divination is difficult to use without a clue or medium; one can only obtain some vague information.”

Hong Lian maintained her poised demeanor and said with a smile, “Master possesses the Tianyuan Lotus which obscures Heaven’s Secrets, and I have a Spirit Embryo Physique, with abundant destiny and deep secrets. Plus, we have the Ancient Beast Taming Charm suppressing destiny. Therefore, trying to deduce our information is as difficult as ascending to the heavens for them.”

“The more profound their divination, the deeper and more unfathomable they will perceive us.”

“Moreover, we have the cultivation level of Core Formation Initial Stage and Core Formation Middle Stage, yet we possess a Third Rank Late Stage spiritual pet such as the Golden Peng, daring to hunt demons in the Great Dream Marsh’s deep sea, confirming all of this.”

“It’s even possible they think we are like them, essentially at Core Formation Late Stage or even Core Formation Peak.”

Hong Lian slightly pursed her vermilion lips, her voice gentle and refreshing like the sound of a clear spring, revealing her speculation.

“Makes sense. If that’s the case, it explains a lot.”

“Even though a Fourth Rank Demon King is hard to contend with, if well-prepared, and with a formation set up and methods to counteract using Magical Treasures, there’s still some hope.”

Lu Changsheng nodded thoughtfully.

Although the Fourth Rank Demon King can already transform and possesses spiritual intelligence comparable to humans,

there are still many demon kings who, after breaking through to Fourth Rank, have not yet transformed and rely on their wild nature to grow, resulting in slightly lesser intelligence.

He naturally speculated on what Meng Wuheng and his wife said about hunting a demon king from this angle.

“If Master is interested, you can discuss specifics with them and ask about the specific situation of this demon king and what trump cards they have.”

“I have several secret techniques that can temporarily boost battle power, and the Ancient Beast Taming Charm has a suppressive effect on demon beasts. If forcibly activated, it can have miraculous effects.”

Hong Lian, seeing Lu Changsheng’s ambitions for the Great Dream Immortal City, chose to support and assist.

“Alright.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and decided to ask about the detailed situation before making a decision.

If there’s indeed a significant chance, it’s worth a gamble.

After all, obtaining the Great Dream Immortal City would solve many of the family’s future development issues.

It might even turn the Great Dream Marsh and the Great Dream Immortal City into the family’s main base of operations!

“Master, during the discussion later, mention that we encountered a space storm…”

Hong Lian continued to remind him.

Since the other side speculates about their strength and believes they come from the Northern Desolate Cultivation Realm, she is willing to confirm this speculation to enhance the negotiation terms.

…

That night.

Lu Changsheng sent a message to the Meng Wuheng couple, inquiring about the specifics of hunting the Fourth Rank Demon King.

“We were right about you.”

The Meng Wuheng couple were delighted.

Lu Changsheng’s willingness to make contact indicated interest and confidence in his power.

Otherwise, upon hearing about hunting a Fourth Rank Demon King, there would likely be no further contact.

“Today’s discussion, whether it succeeds or fails afterward, none of the information can be disclosed, so please, both Daoists, swear a Heart Demon Great Oath.”

Meng Wuheng slightly cupped his hands and spoke solemnly.

They sought out Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian to ensure the matter remained undisclosed.

“Naturally.”

Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.

At their level, a Heart Demon Oath still holds significant weight.

This is also a prerequisite for many cultivators to conduct transactions and establish cooperation.

“Do you two Daoists know about the situation beyond the Great Dream Marsh?”

After the two swore the Heart Demon Oath, Meng Wuheng asked.

“Daoist Wuheng should know; we, as a couple, are coming to the Great Dream Marsh for the first time, so we are not aware of its deeper intricacies.”

Lu Changsheng stated directly.

“The Great Dream Marsh is actually a tributary of Starry Sky Sea; crossing through the Great Dream Marsh allows passage to Starry Sky Sea.”

“And at the Sea Eye where the Great Dream Marsh converges into Starry Sky Sea, there lies a Fourth Rank Demon King — the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!”

“Our invitation to Friends Wang and Li to hunt is aimed at this Deep Sea Demon Whale King!”

Meng Wuheng spoke earnestly.

“Starry Sky Sea, Deep Sea Demon Whale King!”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, not expecting the hunted Fourth Rank Demon King to be in the depths of the Great Dream Marsh.

And indeed, as Hong Lian speculated, the Great Dream Marsh is a tributary of a certain sea region.

“Daoist Wuheng, knowing all this, must have quite the understanding of this Deep Sea Demon Whale King?”

Lu Changsheng continued to ask.

“This Deep Sea Demon Whale King has been at Fourth Rank for less than a hundred years. Earlier, we, as a couple, attempted to take action but were unable to deal with him.”

“Now, with proper preparation and the assistance of you two Daoists, we hope to suppress this demon!”

Meng Wuheng’s words were calm and composed but carried shocking information.

They had once attempted to take action against this Fourth Rank Demon King!

After speaking, he looked directly at Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian, saying, “Having said this much, we as a couple will not conceal; we will be upfront and honest.”

“We are not at Core Formation Initial Stage; we have already broken through to Core Formation Peak. With our combined strength, we possess the power to contend against a Fourth Rank Demon King.”

Meng Wuheng clasped his wife’s hand, emanating spiritual pressure and mana indicative of Core Formation Peak.
