The Immortal Edict had arrived, and the resources had arrived. Even if in the eyes of Lu Sou and the others, this was an absolutely suicidal journey, Fang Xing and the others had no choice but to prepare for the journey. However, these resources could not be distributed to all his subordinates, even though Fang Xing had already decided to only bring the three hundred Immortal Bandits from Futu Heaven. He did not bring any of the Loose Immortals from the Nine Mountains and Ten Abysses that he had subdued after invading the Wilderness, so it was not enough to be distributed to everyone. After all, the number of Immortal Soldiers and Immortal Generals in the Great Immortal Realm had long been fixed, and the allocation was fixed. Armors, mounts, weapons, bows and arrows were the basic allocation!
It was fine to bring three hundred immortal bandits for fun in the Wildlands, but it would be unacceptable if they did not have the basic equipment when they went to the extraterritorial realm. Unfortunately, the Azure Xuan Domain Master and the others had brought up the Immortal Law, so Fang Xing had no choice but to think of a way himself!
"The oracle bone is easy to deal with. I'll put on the middle-grade black iron armor first. Although the quality is ordinary, it looks majestic!"
Fang Xing could only think about it first. "As for weapons, which one of those bastards doesn't have their own Dharma treasures? There's no need to worry about it, just let them use their own. The Precious Pills and Immortal Pills are enough for a few days. I'll think of something when I get to the extraterritorial realm. As for the bows and arrows, I'll use these one hundred for now. I'll only need one hundred people.
But it's really embarrassing to not have mounts … "Lu Sou pursed his lips and thought about it. After all, the three hundred immortal bandits were the elite troops of the Emperor's Son. They had to fight for their reputation in the extraterritorial battlefield. But they did not even have mounts and could only run around on foot. It was really embarrassing!
But the key was that it was not easy to get mounts. If they were defenseless, they could just catch one from somewhere. But it was troublesome to equip them with immortal soldiers. First, they had to be unified. They could not ride on a dragon and ride on a tiger. That would be a mess. Secondly, it was useless if the mounts were too weak. They would wet their pants when they were shocked by the immortal aura on the battlefield. It would be a mess!
"Sect Master … Steward Lu …"
Just as they were having a headache, they heard someone shouting from outside the Skeleton Shrine. They went out to take a look and saw the Joy Toad wearing a loose monk robe, revealing his fat belly and two thin bowed legs. He said proudly, "You two are having a headache about the mounts. Hehe, I have made a great contribution this time. I have been in the Wildlands for two days and finally convinced a cave of great demons. They know that the world has changed and they can no longer hide. They are willing to serve the Hierarch and fight for the Immortal Lives!"
"A Great Demon of some cave?"
Fang Xing and Lu Sou were surprised. They looked at each other and were a little tempted.
This Joy Toad was also a strange one. Back in the Celestial Realm, he was bewitched by the Great Void Baby. One of the other two Daoist Masters was killed and the other was injured and escaped. He was the only one who followed Fang Xing wholeheartedly. Unfortunately, his cultivation was not high and his strength was average. He was not trusted. Even when Fang Xing obtained a large number of Immortal Lives, it was kept in the hands of Lu Sou. He was not allowed to give it to him before he made a contribution. He understood this and kept thinking about how to make a great contribution and get the Immortal Lives …
For the past few days, Fang Xing and Lu Sou had been busy attacking the East and the West, but he had been wandering around. No one knew what he was doing, and no one had the mind to care about him. Unexpectedly, when they were having a headache, he suddenly appeared and said that he had found a mount …
"That's right. It is time to serve the Hierarch. Who would dare to slack off? I have been wandering around these few days, thinking hard …"
The Joy Toad was pleased. He let out a long sigh and began to complain.
"Cut the crap. Where is the mount?"
Fang Xing shouted and interrupted him. He asked excitedly.
"It's here!"
The Blissful Toad laughed and clapped its hands.
"Croak …"
Suddenly, an earth-shattering roar came from the distant sky. In the distance, the clouds broke apart, and black spots fell from the sky. Their power was extremely terrifying, like small mountains, and they landed on the plain in front of the Skeleton Divine Palace. Even the Immortal soldiers under Fang Xing's command were startled by their power. One by one, they jumped up with their weapons in their hands, and some even jumped into the sky. They were about to kill the black shadows that were rushing over with a murderous aura …
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
A series of smoke billowed, the earth shook, the mountains shook, and the earth cracked. Those small mountains finally fell to the ground.
Behind the hazy smoke, a pair of cold, bright eyes could be seen, causing one's heart to turn cold!
"This …"
All the immortal bandits were stunned as they gazed at this scene, and all of them seemed to be at a loss.
"These … these are the mounts you found?"
Lu Sou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at the Joy Toad speechlessly.
"Haha, that's right. Come, Steward Lu, let me introduce you. This is the Demon King, Heaven Shaking Sanren, who has lived in seclusion in the Wilderness of Qing Xuan Heaven. He has lived for tens of thousands of years and his cultivation is profound. Back then, the Taixu Immortal King invited him to the Immortal City, but he didn't agree. After the great changes, he also brought his people to live in seclusion in the Wilderness. I heard that the Domain Lord of Qing Xuan didn't dare to invade the Wilderness because of him. It took me a lot of effort to …"
The Joy Toad introduced it excitedly with a solemn look on its face.
"What Demon King? He's your relative, right?"
Fang Xing interrupted him and stared blankly at Heaven Shaking Sanren.
It was no wonder that he guessed so. The mounts that the Joy Toad found were indeed very similar to his relatives …
That was because they were a group of toads!
There were at least a few hundred of them, and each of their cultivations was not shallow. They were not any weaker than the Moonstriding Demon Horse. In fact, their auras were even stronger. Each of them squatted there without a smile, and their gazes were cold. Anyone who saw them would feel a chill in their heart …
But … they were toads after all!
"They … can indeed be considered distant relatives …"
The Joy Toad was also speechless, laughing awkwardly as he spoke.
"You want our Immortal Soldiers to ride on a toad each?"
Lu Sou's heart was already burning with rage. He stared coldly at the Joy Toad, causing the latter to feel guilty.
"Haha, my children all have the bloodline of the Demon King and have a strong foundation. They dare to fight and kill. In terms of courage, they never lose to anyone. In terms of ability, they are not afraid of anyone. In terms of speed, they can leap thousands of miles in one go. Even Taixu wanted my children to be Immortal Soldiers and Immortal Generals, but I didn't agree to it. Now, I'm only asking them to be your mounts, and you're looking down on it? Haha, Little Xi said that the Third Highness is ambitious and has great foresight, but I don't think so! "
Before the Joy Toad could speak, the old toad who was leading the group disagreed and sneered.
When Lu Sou saw this, he kept quiet and only looked at Fang Xing.
The old toad was not weak. He was actually in the Taiyi State and could be considered a big demon.
"Who said I disagreed?"
Fang Xing laughed and turned to look at Heaven Shaking Sanren. He said, "This is indeed a group of good people. It's a waste of their talents to be my mounts. Old toad, why are you willing to give me such great benefits for free? If you have any conditions, just state them … "
"Haha, good …"
The old toad was not angry. He clapped his front paws and cheered. Then, he suddenly lowered his voice and sent a divine thought into Fang Xing's sea of consciousness. "It's not a disgrace for these children to serve under the Emperor, but … I found out a secret from Little Xi's sea of consciousness. I heard that the Emperor has a lot of Immortal Lives and is rewarding them generously. Is this true?"
"So it's for the Immortal Lives …"
Fang Xing understood and stared at the old toad while transmitting his voice: "Haha, I do have an Immortal Fate, and quite a few of them. However, I don't think that guy would dare to tell you this. Tell me first, how did you pry open his mouth?"
"Haha, I have a secret technique that can reveal a lot of secrets between people of the same bloodline …"
The old toad laughed and said, "Don't worry, Emperor, I will forget about this once I say it. I definitely won't remember it!"
"That better be the case. After all, the lives of your entire clan are in my hands …"
"Since the Emperor has an Immortal Life, then these children of mine …"
"Haha, if they are willing to serve you well, what's so hard about rewarding a few?"
"No need, no need. Just pick a capable one and reward him with an Immortal Life. Sigh, it's not good to have too many. These children are the best of our Heaven Shaking Clan. However, because of their bloodline, unless they have an Immortal Life, they won't be able to open their apertures of wisdom. I will give them to the Emperor; it's a good home. I don't ask for much. If the Emperor is satisfied, just pick a few that you like …"
The two talked for a while and reached a consensus. Heaven Shaking Sanren clapped his hands and ordered the big, powerful hills behind him. "Kids, recognize him as your master now. From now on, he is your Celestial Master!"
"Croak croak …"
The group of toads roared in unison. Their momentum was not weak at all, and they swept away the clouds and tore the void apart.
"Haha, you're too polite. If you serve me well, I won't mistreat you …"
Fang Xing smiled and asked Lu Sou, who was beside him, to remember them. The Heaven Shaking Clan would belong to his Severing Dao lineage now!
"These are our mounts?"
On the other hand, the immortal bandits under him were all dumbfounded after hearing about Fang Xing's arrangement.
They felt very uncomfortable when they thought about how the immortal soldiers of other clans rode dragons and tigers, but they had to ride a group of toads to charge forward!
"When I first followed this Emperor, I thought I could show off my might and fight for a better future …"
"But now that I think about it, I made the wrong choice, right?"
"At the very least, I won't be able to show off in the future!"
