Chapter 391 - 157: The Church of All Beings is courting death, and Liang Sheng manipulates the world like a chess game (Request for monthly tickets in 8k combined s)_3

Upon hearing this, the cultivator below couldn’t help but tense up. The Left Envoy’s tone was calm at the moment, but any matter involving the City Lord was a top priority.

City Lord Zhen Yuan was like the sky over Longevity Immortal City, and no one could go against his will, not even the Left and Right Envoys.

Lower City.

Chen Family Manor

Liang Sheng was oblivious to City Lord Zhenyuan’s possible exit from seclusion in the Upper City. Instead, within a few thousand miles radius in the Lower City, the Church of All Beings’ strongholds were now fully exposed to him.

With his current cultivation level, there were no secrets that could be hidden from him in the Lower City. As long as he wanted to know something, he would know.

For example, the Golden Core Ancestor living in the neighboring manor had less than thirty years left in his lifespan. But his most beloved youngest son was not his own flesh and blood.

This young son was actually his grandson, born from his most beloved daoist partner’s bloodline and his eldest son’s.

Because they were still closely related, the Golden Core Ancestor never suspected that his young son was not his own.

Moreover, he was frequently gratified with how well his elder son treated the younger one. After all, good relations between the brothers meant that nothing unpleasant would happen.

The elder son, however, took a Heavenly Dao oath that he would take good care of his younger brother even after his own death, ensuring that no problems would arise between the brothers in the family afterward.

Still, Liang Sheng had no intention of getting involved in this; he just found it amusing that even the Cultivation World had such dramatic stories.

So, why bother with a Daoist partner when one can be carefree alone? When desire arose, one could just seek the Giving Bodhisattva.

Moreover, he could control whether to engage in dual cultivation and enjoyed the ultimate pleasure. Not to mention the needy expressions of the women.

They were utterly compliant.

If one were to truly become a Daoist partner, they would likely overstep their bounds and constantly try to take advantage. They might even take his kindness for granted and expect him to put up with their tantrums. Wasn’t that asking for trouble?

What he sought was eternal freedom, not tiresome troubles. He would be foolish to take on a so-called Daoist partner.

Although he had been in Immortal City for over five years, it was the past two years living in the Lower City that he had enjoyed the most carefree days.

However, today, Liang Sheng had just left home intending to have breakfast at Yang’s Wontons when a cultivator suddenly knelt before him.

“Please, True Monarch, accept me as your adopted son. I will serve you as a father, and the Heaven and Earth can bear witness to my sincerity.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding people’s eyes flickered, and some were even eager to try. However, they wanted to see the outcome before making any plans.

Upon seeing this, Liang Sheng felt helpless. It seemed that the Church of All Beings had taken a foolish approach, as this person was obviously a fool sent by them.

In that case-

Bang…

With a soft sound, the cultivator who had just knelt on the ground vaporized and vanished from the world, leaving no trace.

This scared the onlookers, but Liang Sheng remained unconcerned, continuing to walk forward. Despite his strong scent of wine, no one dared to look up at him.

There had been a rumor in the Lower City that “Chen Quan” had chosen to seclude himself in the Lower City due to his inability to produce offspring, and yearned for the bloodline of the Chen Family in Chen’s Village.

That person had wanted to gamble on this, but he didn’t expect that even the rumored despondent “Chen Quan” was still a Nascent Soul Master they couldn’t trifle with, striking without any hesitation.

At this time, the cultivators who had been tempted earlier breathed a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate they hadn’t acted rashly, or they too would have been killed.

The people looked at the leisurely walking Liang Sheng and the spot where the cultivator had knelt, lost for words.

“The usual, Old Yang, ten bowls of wontons.”

As soon as Liang Sheng spoke, Old Yang immediately started cooking the wontons. The other customers in the shop wouldn’t dare say a word about him cutting in line.

After all, he was a Nascent Soul Master and naturally had such privileges. Strength was everything!

After finishing his meal, Liang Sheng tossed a mid-grade spirit stone to pay the bill and left without going home. His mood had been ruined by the fool.

Since that was the case, Liang Sheng decided to go straight to the Yaoxiang Pavilion in the Red Light District to relax after dinner…

With wine and beautiful women, what more could one ask for?

Would the Yaoxiang Pavilion be open during the day?

Was that even a question?

The moment a Nascent Soul Master appeared, they would open their doors!

Lower City.

As Liang Sheng was enjoying himself at the Yaoxiang Pavilion, a Protector of the Church of All Beings was reviewing today’s mistakes in a secluded corner of the Lower City.

“Elder, this was my oversight. I didn’t expect Chen Quan to be so calm. It seems almost impossible to play the emotional card with him now.

It’s clear that he was disheartened due to his severed bloodline, but even faced with a Heaven and Earth-sworn adopted son, he still acted so decisively. It seems his heart is as firm as a rock. There’s no point in trying to have someone beside him now. Luckily, our scheming isn’t exposed, which is some small consolation.”

“Hmm, I have mentioned before that we should be cautious. Chen Quan was once the Deputy Colonel of the Cleaning Department. He should not be underestimated. Also, have the preparations for the Nameless Senior’s Cave Residence been completed?..”
