"Heh."
Craig Chu didn't bother to explain. With a flash, he appeared at the King Kong Monster King's temple and threw a fierce punch!
This stance was more like a body cultivator than a demon!
The King Kong Monster King wasn't to be underestimated either. Despite his large size, his movements were quick.
With a slight tilt of his head, he narrowly dodged the blow, but his heart chilled for a moment.
This Craig Chu was playing for keeps.
"Demon King of the Abyss, Demon King Craig Chu!"
At this moment, the other three Demon Kings appeared, their faces stern as they looked ahead.
Lithe Snake quickly distanced himself from Zhao Deep Abyss, casting a wary glance at the three Demon Kings before turning to Zhao Deep Abyss with a cold smile.
"Heh heh heh, Zhao Deep Abyss, surely you wouldn't stoop to bullying with numbers?"
Zhao Deep Abyss's face turned grim, his expression unchanging as he said,
"All Demon Kings, attack together! Today, we sever the snake's tail! Dare to act recklessly in our Demon Realm, and you'll pay the price!"
The three Demon Kings nodded, showing no surprise.
In their hearts, they all agreed; this was typical Zhao Deep Abyss behavior.
"You!"
Lithe Snake's face changed, disbelief in his eyes. "Despicable and shameless, aren't you afraid the demons of the Demon Realm will laugh at you? Don't you feel ashamed?"
"Hahaha, enough nonsense, the victor is king, the loser is a bandit!"
Zhao Deep Abyss laughed heartily, finding this method of bullying with numbers far more satisfying than a one-on-one fight.
Lithe Snake looked at the four Demon Kings opposite him, his face turning green.
At the same time, his heart trembled slightly.
Today, it seemed he was destined for disgrace.
……….
Spirit Dust Realm.
The news that the Cyan Cloud Sect had spread about the demon realms plotting against the Immortal Tomb and their inevitable invasion of the Spirit Dust Realm finally reached the entire Eastern Region.
As for the Southern, Western, and Northern Regions, due to the distance and unfamiliarity, it would take more time.
Once the news spread, naturally, few sects believed it, and even fewer took action. However, there were some exceptions.
Eastern Region, Flying Star Valley Grand Hall.
"What do the elders think about the news spread by the Cyan Cloud Sect in the eastern part of the Eastern Region?"
Valley Master Jacob Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, asking calmly.
"Valley Master, regardless of the truth, we want to know what use the demon realms have for plotting against the Immortal Tomb? Everyone knows that after countless ages, the so-called secret of immortality remains unsolved."
An elder stepped forward and bowed.
"Indeed." The other elders nodded in agreement.
Based on this alone, they didn't believe the demon realms would plot against the Immortal Tomb.
What's there to plot? If the Monster Sovereign and Demon Sovereign wanted to uncover its secrets, they could just go to the Immortal Tomb themselves. Why make such a big fuss?
After all, the Immortal Tomb belongs to no one; anyone can go and comprehend it.
Jacob Yuan pursed his lips and said, "But what if the news from the Cyan Cloud Sect is true?"
The elders were momentarily stunned. The same elder smiled and said, "Valley Master, in our previous opinion, the likelihood of this being true is very small… However, the Cyan Cloud Sect is not a small sect in the Eastern Region, and they have a master alchemist like Mark Gu. We can't understand why they would… sigh."
Jacob Yuan calmly said again, "No need to say more. What if it is true?"
The hall fell silent for a moment, many elders' eyes flickering.
An elder stepped forward and bowed, saying solemnly,
"Valley Master, even if it's true, we don't know when the demon realms will attack. Should we send people to the eastern part and wait indefinitely? Even if it takes ten years or a hundred years, should we keep waiting?"
The elders nodded, this was exactly what they thought.
Moreover, even if the demon realms attacked, they were still quite far from the direction of the Immortal Tomb, and it wouldn't affect them immediately.
By then, the cultivation sects of the four regions—East, South, West, and North—could join forces, and the demon realms would be no threat.
Better to take care of themselves first.
Jacob Yuan's eyes flickered as he looked at an elder and said, "Fifth Elder, select some elite disciples and lead them to the Cyan Cloud Sect. If in three years, there is no unusual movement from the demon realms, return."
The elders were momentarily stunned, wanting to say something.
Jacob Yuan's eyes turned cold, "Silence."
The elders immediately fell silent.
The Fifth Elder received the order, stepped forward, and bowed, "I will follow the Valley Master's command."
Jacob Yuan nodded, his gaze seeming to cross mountains and rivers, looking towards the direction of the Cyan Cloud Sect, murmuring in his heart,
"Sect Master Megan, I know your character. This time, I will trust you despite the opposition."
At the same time,
Eastern Region, Purple Extreme Thunder Peak.
If the Cyan Cloud Sect and Flying Star Valley were considered significant sects in the Eastern Region's cultivation world,
Then Purple Extreme Thunder Peak was the leader of the Eastern Region's cultivation world!
Purple Extreme Thunder Peak rose from the ground, piercing through the clouds, standing between heaven and earth. The mountain peak was perpetually shrouded in lightning and thunder, never ceasing.
Compared to it, the mountain where the Cyan Cloud Sect was located seemed like a youth, serene and quiet, while Purple Extreme Thunder Peak was more like a robust man, sharp and domineering.
"Boom——"
At this moment, near the peak of Purple Extreme Thunder Peak, thunder roared above, and below were two figures.
One sat cross-legged with eyes closed, the other bowed.
"Any news of Daoist Zhang's ascension recently?" The middle-aged man in a plain robe asked indifferently.
"Ancestor, there is no news of the Carefree Courtyard Ancestor's ascension yet, but it's said to be soon…"
The slightly less imposing middle-aged man quickly replied.
"Hmm, the Carefree Courtyard is in the Western Region, a bit far from our Purple Extreme Thunder Peak. Remember to report immediately if there's any news. During this time, I won't be in seclusion." The middle-aged man in a plain robe said calmly.
The Tribulation Crossing stage's ascension tribulation was a rare event, and each one was precious to cultivators in the Divine Transformation stage and above.
"Yes, Ancestor, rest assured." The middle-aged man replied but did not leave immediately, hesitating.
"Hmm? What else?" The middle-aged man in a plain robe opened his eyes, a flash of lightning in his pupils, intimidating.
Upon closer look, he was one of the Tribulation Crossing stage grand cultivators who appeared in the ascension passage after Ambrose Lu and Old Turtle left.
He was Karl Jiang, the ancestor of Purple Extreme Thunder Peak.
The middle-aged man trembled, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Ancestor, recently, a piece of news has been widely spread in the Eastern Region's cultivation world, from the Cyan Cloud Sect…"
Moments later, after the middle-aged man finished speaking, he bowed his head, trembling with regret.
He should have known better than to bother the Ancestor with such trivial matters…
"Demon realms plotting against the Immortal Tomb?" Karl Jiang's eyes showed doubt.
As a grand cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing stage, he didn't immediately doubt the authenticity of the news but thought of something else.
For countless ages, hasn't the secret of the Immortal Tomb remained unsolved?
If the news about the demon realms plotting against the Immortal Tomb was true… does it mean the demon realms have a way to obtain the secret of immortality from the Immortal Tomb?
But if they had a way, why make such a big fuss? Why not do it secretly?
It seemed contradictory…
"The source of this news?" Karl Jiang looked at the middle-aged man and asked.
The middle-aged man was stunned and respectfully said, "Ancestor, it's from the Cyan Cloud Sect."
The next moment, in the middle-aged man's incredulous gaze, Karl Jiang slowly stood up, his figure becoming ethereal…
Only his voice remained,
"I'll go to the Cyan Cloud Sect. Keep an eye out, and inform me immediately if Daoist Zhang undergoes the ascension tribulation."
