Five days later.
Christopher Tong and his companions, traveling at full speed, finally returned to the Cyan Cloud Sect.
“Senior Brother Tong.”
At the mountain gate of the Cyan Cloud Sect, two gatekeeping disciples hurriedly saluted.
Christopher nodded from his flying carpet and then looked at the ten outer disciples on the ground, who wore guilty expressions. He feigned a relaxed smile and said, “Junior brothers and sisters, don’t think too much about it. Just go back and cultivate well.”
With that, he prepared to steer the flying carpet towards the mountain peak where Mark Gu resided.
“Senior Brother Tong!!”
Suddenly, the outer disciples called out to Christopher.
Christopher was slightly taken aback and turned his head to look at them in confusion.
The two gatekeeping disciples were also somewhat puzzled.
The ten outer disciples respectfully bowed and sincerely said, “Senior Brother Tong, we are just insignificant outer disciples, while you are a distinguished personal disciple. Yet, you… we are grateful for your life-saving grace.”
They understood how precious the means Christopher used to save them that day were. Since then, Christopher had often seemed distracted and lost in thought.
On the flying carpet, Christopher was stunned for a moment. His heart suddenly calmed down, and he smiled, “As long as we are alive, anything is possible. Junior brothers and sisters, work hard in your cultivation.”
“We will put in a hundred times the effort! We will not disappoint Senior Brother Tong!”
The disciples clasped their fists and spoke with determination.
Christopher nodded with satisfaction, said no more, and steered the flying carpet towards the mountain peak!
…
A majestic mountain peak of the Cyan Cloud Sect.
“Master, your disciple seeks an audience!”
Outside the cave, Christopher knelt and called out respectfully.
Rumble…
The cave opened, and Mark Gu stroked his beard as he walked out, yawning and smiling with satisfaction, “Christopher, you were quite fast in dealing with the demon. It seems you didn’t slack off. Well done.”
“Master…”
Suddenly, Christopher called out in a low voice.
Hmm? Mark Gu’s hand paused mid-stroke, looking at Christopher with some confusion.
“Master, the talisman you bestowed upon me… the one left by Master’s Master… I used it,” Christopher said, his voice trembling.
Mark Gu was momentarily stunned and plucked a tuft of his white beard in shock!
Instead of immediately blaming him, Mark Gu narrowed his eyes and looked towards the direction of the Li Shui Empire in the mortal world, asking in a deep voice, “What happened?”
Christopher straightened up, organized his thoughts, and began to recount, “Master, it was like this…”
Christopher then reported everything that had happened in the Li Shui Empire to Mark Gu.
The more he listened, the more Mark Gu’s brows furrowed!
Just one city, yet three Black Tongue Demons appeared!
According to Christopher, it wasn’t just Jiayuan City that was troubled by demons…
Mark Gu’s old eyes gleamed. In the past, demons appearing in the mortal world were usually comparable to Qi Refining stage demons. Why was it different this time?
Had the demon and monster realms forgotten their agreement with the Spirit Dust Cultivation Realm?
After pondering for a moment, Mark Gu said, “Christopher, you will accompany me to the mortal world!”
“Huh?” Christopher looked up in disbelief, “Master, are you going personally??”
These were just some second-level demons. It wasn’t necessary for Master to go; other elders could take disciples to handle it.
Mark Gu knew what Christopher was thinking and said helplessly, “Christopher, you know me well. If the Sect Leader and others weren’t still away, do you think I would want to go?”
The Sect Leader and others hadn’t returned yet? Christopher nodded in astonishment.
“There’s no time to lose, let’s go! Otherwise, the people of Li Shui will suffer heavy casualties!”
Mark Gu grabbed Christopher and turned into a stream of light, disappearing into the sky!
This scene was witnessed by many disciples of the Cyan Cloud Sect!
“That’s from Immortal Crane Peak! Where is Elder Gu going?”
“Probably to the mortal world. There were rumors among the outer disciples that second-level demons appeared in the mortal world, and quite a few of them.”
“Second-level demons comparable to Foundation Establishment cultivators?! My god! How could such high-level demons appear in the mortal world!”
“Isn’t it a bit much for an esteemed elder like Elder Gu to go personally?”
“Are you stupid? Besides the gatekeeping elders, are there any other elders in the sect right now?”
“……”
…
…
Demon Realm.
Before them was a dark world, with withered vines and old trees stretching for thousands of miles, covered with countless crows that occasionally flapped their wings, making eerie and chilling “caw caw” sounds.
On the cliff, five figures stood.
Below the cliff, a vast black fog rolled, so eerie it sent chills down one’s spine.
If a cultivator were present, their soul would tremble in fear, for the vast black fog was entirely composed of demons!
It was foreseeable that if one were to be among them, they would be torn apart and devoured in an instant!
“Where is the Clan Leader of the Black Tongue Demons?”
On the cliff, the leading figure spoke indifferently.
The black fog below stirred, and soon a wisp of black fog floated out, manifesting into a hideous Black Tongue Demon with a long tongue hanging from its mouth. It bowed respectfully, “Lord Demon King, I am here.”
“How is the task I assigned to your clan progressing?”
The shadow on the cliff asked coldly.
The Black Tongue Demon Clan Leader trembled and reported, “Lord Demon King, a few days ago, six of the clan members I sent to the Eastern Region of the Spirit Dust Realm, Li Shui Empire, died… This matter will likely soon alert the Spirit Dust Cultivation Realm.”
“Let them be alerted then. Sooner or later, there will be a great war,” the shadow said nonchalantly and continued, “What I want to tell you this time is to speed up the progress. Tell your Black Tongue Demon clan members not to play around. This matter is of great importance. If necessary, you should go personally!”
“I understand!” The Black Tongue Demon Clan Leader quickly responded.
“Go and handle it,” the shadow waved dismissively, sending the Black Tongue Demon Clan Leader away. Then, he looked at the many high-ranking demons present and said, “You all should also be prepared. War could break out at any moment. The future will surely see a battle with the Spirit Dust Realm! Everything depends on the Demon Sovereign and the Monster Sovereign.”
“Yes!!!”
Countless black fogs rolled and shouted fiercely.
Seeing the high morale, the shadow was satisfied, “Dismissed.”
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
Immediately, the black fog dispersed like a flood, leaving the place empty in an instant.
“Deep Abyss, why does the Demon Sovereign suddenly want to act against the Spirit Dust Realm?”
On the cliff, a muscular man asked the leading shadow in a deep voice.
Hearing this, the other three figures also looked at the leading Deep Abyss Demon King in confusion.
It was well known that among the five great Demon Kings of the Demon Realm, the Deep Abyss Demon King had the closest relationship with the Demon Sovereign.
The shadow turned around, revealing the appearance of a young man, extremely handsome, but with skin as pale as a corpse and pitch-black eyes like an abyss!
Zhao Deep Abyss glanced at the four Demon Kings and smiled faintly, “The Demon Sovereign has long reached a bottleneck in her cultivation…”
The four Demon Kings’ pupils contracted; this statement carried significant implications!
Considering the Black Tongue Demons sent to the mortal empire of the Spirit Dust Realm, it seemed close to a certain legendary place…
Seeing the expressions of the four Demon Kings, Zhao Deep Abyss smiled deeply, “That’s right. The alliance between the demon and monster realms this time has a clear goal. I’m sure you have already guessed it. I won’t elaborate further, hehe.”
