"But what actions have the demons taken?"
"No, no, no..."
Zhan Hongxiu recounted the scene she had witnessed earlier, as if it were a trivial tale to pass the time.
"Is that so... Although it’s not common, we’ve encountered it a few times before on the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield."
"Oh?"
Xu Chaoguang saw their curiosity and said with a smile, "You’ve only been on Taizhou Mountain for a few years, so it’s normal not to have seen it."
"Some of the great powers on Taizhou Mountain sometimes manifest their divine will, but it’s rare to see an existence as powerful as you described."
"Why wasn’t it mentioned before?" Lv Cheng asked in confusion.
"That’s because saying more is useless," Xu Chaoguang’s smile faded as he sighed:
"A hundred years ago, the Second Master of Kyoto Academy once crossed the demon blockade to investigate the situation at Taizhou Mountain and even tried to seek assistance from the humans there, hoping they would take action against the Demon Court."
"But the outcome... In short, until we have sufficient cultivation, we can’t even stand in their presence."
"I’ve heard about this. Some of the ancestors have given up on such plans since then." Zhan Hongxiu nodded.
"One must be strong to forge iron; as long as those existences do not act against us, we have no need to probe them further."
"Fortunately, the spiritual energy in our location is scarce, and those existences do not care for it, so we need not worry."
"That’s right..."
One Demon Court is already troublesome enough; if we provoke the people from Taizhou Mountain, our days will be even harder.
Just as Zhan Hongxiu and the others intended to rest, a middle-aged man surnamed Zhong hurried over, his expression serious, and said:
"Everyone, the ancestor just sent a message—suspend all missions and await the next order!"
"Eh? Uncle Zhong, why is this?"
Zhan Hongxiu and Ning Xue exchanged a glance and couldn’t help but ask, "Is it because of the presence just now?"
"Don’t guess blindly; there’s been a change in the Tianyuan Continent."
"What change? Is it related to Chen Yi?" Ning Xue felt a pang of anxiety and quickly asked.
Since that golden phantom mentioned the name "Chen Yi," she had been concerned, and now hearing of a "change in the Tianyuan Continent," her first thought was of Chen Yi.
Hopefully not...
"Perhaps," Uncle Zhong said seriously, "Chen Yi should be infiltrating the Ten Thousand Mountains within the Demon Court at this moment; the anomaly just now is also related to him!"
"What?"
...
Two days passed, and the Ten Thousand Mountains returned to their usual state.
The Imps fought over Blood Cores and resources to cultivate, while those above Demon General patrolled in all directions, guarding against the chaos that had previously occurred.
Especially the Wolf Demon Clan, whose four territories’ demise stirred all the wolf demons, leading several Wolf Clan Demon Kings to gather and scatter some wolf demons to various demon gathering places within the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Simultaneously, they rebuilt the remaining two territories, using a vast amount of Blood Cores to exchange for Arrays capable of resisting those in the Divine Power Realm.
The Demon Kings of other demon clan territories didn’t mock the wolf demons but instead emulated their actions.
The massacre by Chen Yi made these Demon Kings suddenly realize that even the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains weren’t safe.
In case a human Great Power strikes their juniors next time, without any means of counteraction, would their end not be like the wolf demons’?
"His Majesty the Demon Emperor has ordered!"
"All Demon Kings must immediately proceed to the Demon Imperial Palace!"
A commanding voice echoed from within the Demon Imperial Palace, reaching every Demon King within a radius of ten thousand miles.
As for those Demon Kings and Demon Generals beyond ten thousand miles, they maintained the status quo and continued their respective tasks.
"His Majesty the Demon Emperor is indeed going to take action; hopefully, during this southern campaign, all those ancestors will take part!"
"Heh heh... It’s been a while since I’ve tasted the human race’s delicacies; hopefully, they can break through Beixiong Pass so I can feast!"
"There have been talks of moving south before... This time, they must capture that member of the human race!"
Amidst the anticipation of the demons, hundreds of Demon Kings set out, heading to the Demon Imperial Palace.
But the Great Demon Kings did not move, remaining stationed outside the Demon Imperial Palace, attending to their respective affairs.
Inside the Demon Imperial Palace.
"Are you sure this will lure him out?"
Fengyue Demon Emperor sat on a bone throne, her pure white tail wrapped around her waist and draped over her shoulder like a scarf, complemented by her red dress, making her look particularly alluring.
"It’s worth a try."
Zhou Guanwu leaned against an outer pillar, his body hidden in shadows, observing Fengyue Demon Emperor.
"Chen Yi is Wei Dynasty’s number one prodigy; in terms of cultivation, talent, and temperament, he’s unparalleled today. If we don’t kill him while he’s in the Ten Thousand Mountains, once he returns to the Wei Dynasty, his power will surely soar."
"By then, trying to kill him might cost more than an Emperor Heaven would suffice."
"Don’t mention Emperor Heaven!" Fengyue Demon Emperor glared coldly at him, "You escaped earlier, why didn’t you run?"
"..."
Zhou Guanwu showed a helpless expression, "Fengyue... Your Majesty, Gu Ying was present back then, he insisted on seeing what Chen Yi was up to in the Demon Imperial Palace."
"What? He directly jumped on Emperor Heaven Ancestor’s head to make trouble!" Fengyue Demon Emperor snorted coldly:
"But without you, he wouldn’t have had such an opportunity!"
"...I won’t deny it," Zhou Guanwu’s expression calmed as he spoke:
"I thought our ’Extreme Pure Heaven’ plan was deeply buried; be it the Wei Dynasty, Demon Court, or West Continent Buddha Country, no one noticed it, yet Chen Yi uncovered it all!"
"Say it’s my fault; he used some tricks to change his appearance and deliberately approached me."
Back when Chen Yi befriended him under the guise of "Lu Xiaofeng", not only did he fail to notice, but he also had the "Old Oracle" divinate, almost absorbing Chen Yi into the "Pure Land of Bliss"...
If not for that day when Chen Yi inexplicably appeared in Dakong Temple, destroying the White Jade Stairs and evading Earth Monk’s strike, alerting him, perhaps by now Chen Yi would sit beside them just like Chen Yuan.
Every time he thought of this matter, Zhou Guanwu wished he could peel off Chen Yi’s skin!
"In short, we are united in our target against Chen Yi!"
"Then what about ’Extreme Pure Heaven’?" Fengyue Demon Emperor asked coldly, "There’s friction between Emperor Heaven Ancestor and your group this time, and with Taizhou Mountain..."
"Absolutely not!" Zhou Guanwu understood her implied concern about "General" and others taking action against the demons of Taizhou Mountain and explained:
"Lord ’General’ is indeed overbearing, but if he mentioned ’Chen Yi,’ he will not blame the Demon Court for our failure. Even if he does seek retribution, he will attribute this to Chen Yi."
"After all, dealing with the ’main’ and then turning to the ’secondary target’ isn’t an insurmountable feat!" Fengyue Demon Emperor’s expression darkened a bit:
"Zhou Guanwu, do you really think I would trust you again?"
The inheritance of the Ancient Demon Court is a secret of successive Demon Emperors, yet it was casually revealed by Gu Ying, which truly shocked Fengyue Demon Emperor. frёeωebɳovel.com
"...If you don’t trust me, then why are you pretending to gather those Demon Kings according to my suggestion?"
Zhou Guanwu looked at the silent Fengyue Demon Emperor, smiling, "Even if the ’General’ takes action, he cannot personally come to the Tianyuan Continent."
"As long as the humans of the Wei Dynasty are dealt with, you can temporarily be free of concern from them!"
Fengyue Demon Emperor pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, "Once Chen Yi reveals himself, I will personally act."
"That would indeed be best, Your Majesty. With your cultivation, he will have no chance to escape this time."
Zhou Guanwu paused, frowning before he asked, "Does Your Majesty mean you don’t need me?"
"This isn’t ’Extreme Pure Heaven,’ if you’re discovered here by Xiao Lan, you won’t be able to get away!"
"..."
Zhou Guanwu hesitated and then suddenly laughed.
"Your Majesty is worried that if I stay here, Xiao Lan will find out?"
"Get out!"
Fengyue Demon Emperor’s expression turned cold, and the demon energy around her burst forth, with the pure white tail wrapping around her waist like a scarf.
Zhou Guanwu chuckled and slipped away into the shadows.
"Don’t get angry... I won’t act for now, but I want to see Chen Yi dead with my own eyes!"
