Chapter 222: Chapter 169: The Demon Manifests (Seeking Monthly Ticket) _2

"Daoist Lv, then we’ll have to trouble you to take a trip to the Huilong Mountain Range and request the aid of that senior predecessor; we’ll keep watch here. If you cannot find that predecessor, you must report the message upwards."

Daoist Chai Wei spoke.

"Alright, I’ll go immediately."

Daoist Lv nodded and immediately sped away from Qinxin Island, heading towards the Huilong Mountain Range.

Upon Daoist Lv’s arrival at the Huilong Mountain Range, he was astonished to find that the fog which had enshrouded the mountain range was, at some unknown time, already dispersed.

"Could it be that the predecessor has already broken the Great Array here?"

A jolt went through Daoist Lv’s heart.

This meant that the Martial Saint predecessor might no longer appear here.

"This is bad."

Worry was written all over Daoist Lv’s face.

This mysterious predecessor was elusive as a dragon; no one knew when they might show up.

Couldn’t possibly wait for another ten years, right?

But that would still be eight years away.

He knew that for a powerhouse at the level of a Martial Saint, secluding oneself in cultivation could easily be a year or two.

Even if it were to be three to five months later that the predecessor learned of the demon disaster, by then, who knew what bizarre turn the demon disaster might take.

"It seems I can only make contact with the outside first."

Daoist Lv took a deep breath and immediately flew swiftly towards Stepping Cloud Peak.

After arriving at Stepping Cloud Peak, he approached the gigantic Bronze Gate, took out a Jade Token, recorded a stream of information onto it, and then placed it into a slot on the Bronze Gate.

A faint light emerged and after a while, gradually receded.

Subsequently, he waited.

It wasn’t until the sky darkened that the Jade Token on the Bronze Gate suddenly lit up again.

Seeing this scene, Daoist Lv’s face lit up with joy, and after the light from the Jade Token dimmed again, he quickly took it down, probed the information inside with his spirit, and indeed, there was a message left behind.

After reading it, his expression immediately turned ugly.

"How could this be, how could there be demons in the Human World..."

He muttered to himself, his face filled with disbelief.

Even outside, demons were extremely rare, with each appearance causing a horrific disaster, a catastrophe not only for the Human Clan but also for the Demon Race.

Demons have never been one with the demons; rather, demons are natural enemies of the Demon Race, and the emergence of a demon... could even force the Human Clan and Demon Race to unite against it.

There was also a notion that demons cannot be eradicated, that their disappearance is merely temporary.

Could it be that the once-vanished demons have reappeared in the Human World?

But why at this point in time?

Moreover, the situation in Qinxin City clearly indicates a demon disaster.

"Could it be that this emergence of demons in the Human World is the work of the Demon Race behind the scenes?"

Daoist Lv felt a chill in his heart.

He couldn’t fathom why the Demon Race would be so reckless; did they not fear the boomerang effect of the demon falling on the Demon Race’s head?

...

Array Valley.

After so many years of development, Array Valley had long since changed, having cultivated a group of qualified entry-level Array Masters.

As for the original batch of Array Masters, most had aged and retired.

Now, there are dozens of Official Disciples in Array Valley, among them a dozen or so entry-level Official Array Masters, who have basically received guidance from Li Qian, studying the Taishan Formation Record.

As for the Lion Camel Ridge Array Solution, he didn’t take it out, for it belonged to the Demon Race’s Array.

At this moment, Li Qian stood in front of a massive Void Stone Pillar.

This pillar was made of Void Stone, the most standard material for Arrays, not particularly rare but because it was buried deep underground, it was troublesome to excavate.

It was said that the secular nobility and powerful families liked to use this type of stone to construct their family tombs.

The main reason was that Void Stone could gather feng shui and prosper offspring within the family.

Therefore, such a large Void Stone Pillar was still very expensive.

Moreover, transporting it was very difficult as well.

With a wave of his hand, Li Qian sent a stream of Sword Qi rapidly moving along the Void Stone Pillar. After a long time, he stopped, and with a wave of his hand, countless fragments of stone dust fell from the pillar, finally revealing an exquisitely delicate and elaborate hollow Array pattern.

Such a large pillar, if carved slowly with ordinary craftsmanship, would likely take several years to create.

With his current Cultivation Realm and micro-level control of True Qi, it was a breeze.

Creating a Solid Array Pillar was not difficult; what was difficult was designing a complete Array pattern for it.

"Take a good look at this Array Pillar."

Li Qian said to several Array Masters observing nearby.

After speaking, he left Array Valley with a movement of his body.

The Array Pillar he created was one of the core base Arrays from the Taishan Formation Record, mainly for teaching purposes, to give these Array Masters a more intuitive understanding.

As for the Array he planned to set up at the Divine Sword Sect, it was still in the conceptual stage and would take some time to complete the design.

Just returned to the Chen Bell Platform.

"Master, I’ve heard that the Sword Tomb is about to open again, should the three junior brothers participate?"

Chai Shao asked Li Qian as he returned.

Due to timing issues, he and Bai Yun had missed the opening of the Sword Tomb and thus did not acquire a Divine Sword.

This time, all three junior brothers have comprehended Sword Intent, though they had cultivated the Pure Sword Body and had not yet broken through to the Innate.

"The Sword Tomb is opening? Had you not mentioned this, your teacher would have forgotten all about it."

Li Qian showed a surprised expression.

Suddenly, his Myriad Phenomena Sword Intent stirred, connecting with the Divine Swords within the Sword Tomb, and following that, four Divine Swords tore through the sky, hovering in front of Li Qian.

Chai Shao was almost startled; he looked at the approaching swords, puzzled - where did these swords come from?
