The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1833 - 1829: Mutation

"According to the character of the Demon Race, which respects the strong, the leader of the alliance that can command the Demonic Beasts of Taiyi Realm must have a cultivation level no less than Taiyi," Shen Luo frowned and said.

"I think so too... They initially only operated in the Eastern Sea Region, but recently they suddenly began to invade the land on a large scale. Some medium and small forces near Daughter Village have already been wiped out, and then they gathered to attack Daughter Village," Granny Sun pondered for a moment and said.

"This is no small matter, I’m afraid there’s a Demon Clan involved behind the scenes," Shen Luo contemplated.

"Currently, we haven’t found any signs of the Demon Clan, so it’s too soon to jump to conclusions," Granny Sun said.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo did not argue, but he vaguely felt in his heart that the various disturbances currently appearing in the Three Realms might all be inextricably linked to the Chiyou Demon Clan.

"Friend Shen, what brings you to the East Sea this time?" Granny Sun suddenly asked.

"To be honest, I came to this side of the East Sea to search for the East Sea Abyss, but who knew that after entering with my companions, we discovered that the power of space in there was extremely chaotic, and then we were attacked by a large number of Yin Soul Ghosts and Water Demons. As a result, I accidentally fell into a spatial passageway and was transmitted out," Shen Luo explained.

Upon hearing this, Granny Sun’s expression slightly tensed, then she revealed a thoughtful look.

"Granny Sun, could it be that you know something about the East Sea Abyss?" Seeing this, Shen Luo asked.

"I do know a bit," Granny Sun hesitated slightly, but still nodded and said.

"Please, Granny, enlighten me," Shen Luo said, clasping his fists.

Granny Sun pressed down on his clasped hands and said, "This is not the place to talk, let’s go back and discuss this."

With that, she led the way in front, bringing Shen Luo to a great hall behind the square, and Liu Feixu and the others quickly followed.

...

Deep in the Eastern Sea, amidst a sea area covered with dense dark clouds, there floated a solitary black island.

The island was covered with black reefs, with little green vegetation, looking extremely desolate.

However, throughout the island were various sizes of stone hall architecture, with a large number of Demon Race soldiers stationed around them.

At the highest point of the island, near a place with a vertical sea cliff, stood a grand circular stone hall, also guarded by many demon soldiers outside.

At this moment, a path of escape light slowly descended from the high altitude, revealing the figure of a burly man with a short beard—You Xiong Kun.

"Greetings, Deputy Alliance Leader," the group of demons outside the hall saluted upon seeing him.

However, You Xiong Kun had no interest in acknowledging them at this moment; he walked straight into the great hall with a sullen head.

In the dimly lit stone hall, a circular altar built of black stone was burning with roaring bonfire in the middle of the ground. The flickering flames cast dancing shadows on the surrounding walls.

Opposite the flame altar, a tall black silhouette reclined on a throne carved from black stone, wearing a black fox fur cloak, a high crown on their head, gently swaying a white jade porcelain cup in their hand but not drinking the wine within, seemingly pondering something.

"Greetings, Alliance Leader," You Xiong Kun bowed with clasped fists in front of the fire pond of the altar.

"So, has Daughter Village been captured?" the black silhouette asked.

Their tone was very calm, yet it made You Xiong Kun involuntarily shiver a little, having an inexplicable awe towards this alliance leader who never showed emotions on their face.

"I have failed in my duty and couldn’t capture Daughter Village this time," You Xiong Kun dared not lift his head, awkwardly forced to speak.

"Oh?" The black silhouette’s tone rose slightly, evidently surprised.

"Reporting to the Alliance Leader, I was originally very confident in capturing Daughter Village, but who knew they somehow invited a Taiyi Realm expert, whose strength surpasses mine and can easily fend off my attacks," You Xiong Kun hurriedly explained.

The black silhouette listened but remained silent, and the hall fell into silence.

You Xiong Kun stood where he was, feeling the surrounding silence becoming terrifying, with only the occasional "bbip-bob" sound from the fire pond reaching his ears. He even felt like he could hear his heartbeat within his chest.

"Alliance Leader, it wasn’t that I fled from battle in fear, but as you previously mentioned, we have many things to do next; we should preserve strength at all times, so we are not helpless when needed. I dared not risk injury in battle, so..." You Xiong Kun spoke more and more anxiously, eventually almost unable to continue.

However, after a moment of silence, the black silhouette said:

"You didn’t do anything wrong. What’s to come is very important. Had you been injured this time, preventing you from participating in the subsequent actions, then I really would have held you accountable."

Upon hearing this, You Xiong Kun felt relieved.

"Rest assured, Alliance Leader, as long as Jin Jian cooperates with me, we can surely eliminate that person and completely obliterate Daughter Village without any mishap," You Xiong Kun pondered and said.

"No need for that..." the black silhouette replied casually.

"Please punish me, Alliance Leader..." You Xiong Kun thought the other was going to hold him accountable and hurriedly bowed down.

"There are now more and more Demon Races joining our Demon Alliance. Sweeping the East Sea is just around the corner. Although we didn’t wipe out Daughter Village this time, it doesn’t matter—it won’t affect our overall plan," the Demon Alliance Leader said.

"The Alliance Leader’s leadership is unparalleled; sweeping the East Sea Dragon Palace is not a difficult task either," You Xiong Kun said happily upon hearing this.

"Enough flattery. Next, we are going to undertake a major task with the strength of the entire alliance. If successful, our Demon Alliance will be able to truly establish a foothold in the Three Realms, and then even the Heavenly Court can’t do anything to us," the Demon Alliance Leader said.

Upon hearing this, You Xiong Kun also felt a surge of ambition, filled with longing for the future described by the Alliance Leader.

"Go back and rest, prepare yourself. We will set off shortly," the Demon Alliance Leader said.

"Alliance Leader, where are we heading?" You Xiong Kun asked.

"East Sea Abyss," the Demon Alliance Leader said, swallowing the wine in one gulp.

...

Inside a great hall in Daughter Village.

Granny Sun and the others sat down with Shen Luo, and Su Su’er dutifully served tea to everyone.

"Granny Sun, what do you know about the East Sea Abyss?" Shen Luo impatiently asked.

"Don’t rush. First, tell me, why do you want to go to the East Sea Abyss?" Granny Sun asked.

"To be honest, it’s not that I want to go to the East Sea Abyss, but I have received reliable information that the Demon Clan might be plotting something there. Nowadays, every corner of the Three Realms is uneasy, secretly influenced by the Chiyou faction of the Demon Clan. I worry that they have a substantial plot this time, hence I came to investigate," Shen Luo thought and said.

"I see..." Granny Sun nodded, pondering silently.

A moment later, she raised her head and said, "Earlier you mentioned the East Sea Abyss and said it was filled with chaotic spatial power. This might have been caused by an event decades ago."

"An event decades ago?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.
