The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 641 - 221: Old Ape, This Emperor Wants to Make a Deal with You (6k)
At this moment, Zhou Qing also slowly opened his eyes, full of excitement, and immediately got up to salute: "Thank you, Second Grandpa, the curse seal is removed!"
Second Grandpa smiled slightly and said: "Good that it’s removed, but don’t be complacent. Check it thoroughly once more to prevent any hidden tricks."
Zhou Qing nodded, his giant primordial spirit slowly opened its eyes and began to carefully scan repeatedly...
Xuanyuan Shuo didn’t expect the two would return so quickly, it should have taken less than three hours.
Was the mark planted by that lowly creature removed just like that?
How did you accomplish it?
After returning, Second Grandpa took Zhou Qing to test on a flying demon beast from Great Demon Mountain, and seeing no recurring mark, he finally felt relieved.
"There’s no time to lose, what are we waiting for, let’s go!" Second Grandpa said excitedly.
Xuanyuan Shuo nodded, equally full of expectation.
Zhou Qing quickly gave a reassuring glance to the worried Lu Yaoyao and Yan Xiaohu below.
The three then rushed straight towards Great Demon Mountain.
...
Currently, Great Demon Mountain can truly be described as besieged internally and externally.
Internally, the various Demon Kings once suppressed by the Peng Emperor have long divided into factions, each eager to act.
Externally, millions of soldiers from the human race border are in formation, and Blood Prison Mountain and Thousand Illusions Cave, the neighboring regions, are eyeing covetously nearby.
Yet everyone knows, this tempting piece of meat will not be eaten by anyone.
Because regardless of whether it’s the Flood Dragon Emperor, the Spider Emperor, or the human race, none wish to see any one power grow dominant, as maintaining this delicate balance suits everyone.
Each envies the prize but also wears each other down.
However, as the most loyal subordinate of the Peng Emperor—Old Ape is not willing to sit and wait to die.
At first, he even led the old followers of the Peng Emperor, vowing that whoever could kill Xuanyuan Shuo and avenge the Peng Emperor would be given Great Demon Mountain.
Together with the Peng Emperor’s many secrets and treasures.
It’s worth mentioning, Flood Dragon Emperor from Blood Prison Mountain was the first to send people, willing to collaborate, even following Old Ape to harass and attack the border for a time.
During that time, Xuanyuan Shuo was too occupied. Upon learning that Lin Daochen had advanced to Third-level Array Master, he dispatched Jiang Pojun, who had been investigating the Peng Emperor’s fall in the Eastern Domain, to invite him over.
Not long after, someone communicated with the Flood Dragon Emperor, helping him realize the situation, prompting him to choose to watch the battle from a distance.
Since Great Demon Mountain was leaderless, it was better to let them fight internally first, while secretly supporting some potential Demon Kings to influence the situation.
After all, no matter who acts, the other two sides won’t agree, so there’s no need to be the first to act.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
At this moment, three figures had already infiltrated deep into Great Demon Mountain.
Xuanyuan Shuo opened his Communication Jade Scroll to inquire about the news.
Soon, hundreds of secret messages flew rapidly, all from his spies stationed in various places on Great Demon Mountain.
Any movement on Great Demon Mountain, or detection of abnormal activities in Blood Prison Mountain and Thousand Illusions Cave, would be reported immediately.
Given the chaos, even the border forces are eager to get involved.
Seeing that everything was normal, the three continued to advance.
"Such a strong scent of blood!" Zhou Qing sniffed slightly, speaking softly.
The other two said nothing, just pointed ahead.
Soon, they saw in a stone forest, tens of thousands of demon race individuals fighting fiercely.
Leading them was a giant wolf beast humanoid and a man with bear claws and a human face clashing, both emanating the aura of mid-stage Divinity Transformation cultivation.
Clearly, without the Peng Emperor’s suppression, these Demon Kings, long holding grudges over territory and resources, had unleashed their conflicts.
The three did not intervene, quietly bypassing them and moving forward.
Shortly after, another fierce battle between two forces came into view—a human-faced snake-bodied Demon King fighting a Tiger King.
The entire river was dyed green with toxic mist, covered with giant snake and tiger corpses.
As the three advanced, they saw strewn bodies and the pungent smell of blood everywhere.
Severed limbs, remains, and broken weapons were common sights.
Clearly, Great Demon Mountain was now in chaos.
"A leader’s importance is evident!" Second Grandpa couldn’t help but sigh.
Xuanyuan Shuo sighed slightly, gazing deeply: "This is a miniature version of the Holy Martial Dynasty."
Hearing Xuanyuan Shuo’s hint, Second Grandpa said with deep meaning: "Eating too much can be a fatal mistake."
Xuanyuan Shuo said nothing, Zhou Qing couldn’t help but frown.
So, are those fighting below each sect?
"We’ve arrived!" After another half hour, the three stopped.
Before them was a towering mountain peak.
The entire peak was pitch-black, as if forged from solid black iron, exuding a cold and hard aura.
The steep mountain walls had no vegetation, appearing particularly stark under the gloomy sky.
Unlike the chaotic areas they passed before, it was eerily silent, almost without a sound.
But Zhou Qing’s perception revealed hidden presences scattered across the mountain.
"This is the Peng Emperor’s residence, and it seems all former loyalists are gathered here now!" Second Grandpa said.
Xuanyuan Shuo said: "You’re suggesting, Peng Emperor said before his death, his residence has Five-Color Restriction, and only the Great Demon Order can open it?"
