“What?!”
Jose Shen and his two companions shuddered simultaneously, their hearts pounding.
Mark Gu squinted his eyes. As expected, they chose to attack at this moment. But why only the Monster Realm? Where’s the Demon Realm?
“Ancestor, what do we do? We’re in the Western Region; there’s no way we can make it back in time!”
The Grand Elder asked in a panic.
Jose Shen quickly looked at Karl Jiang, Laura Qin, and Sean Liu. Only these three Tribulation Crossing experts could possibly reach the Eastern Region in a short time!
The next moment, Jose Shen flashed in front of the three, bowing deeply and shouting in a low voice under their puzzled gazes,
“Three Seniors, I am Jose Shen from the Cyan Cloud Sect in the Eastern Region. We just received an urgent message from the sect that the Monster Realm has launched a massive invasion. I implore you three to lend us your aid!!”
Jose Shen intended for everyone to hear him, so his shout was loud and instantly spread throughout the area.
Immediately, the square outside the Carefree Courtyard fell silent, and all the cultivators stared at Jose Shen in astonishment!
A massive invasion by the Monster Realm?!
Meanwhile, Mark Gu had already quietly approached Old Turtle. He first cautiously glanced at Ambrose Lu, who was sitting with his eyes closed, and then looked at Old Turtle with a pleading expression.
“Senior Turtle… did you enjoy yourself last time? And about Little Black taking you to the brothel, that was on my suggestion…”
Hearing Mark Gu’s voice transmission, Old Turtle’s eyelid twitched, and he smacked his lips, saying, “You really know how to play, kid.”
“Master, I need to take care of something.”
After speaking to Ambrose Lu, Old Turtle grabbed Mark Gu, and the two disappeared from the square without a trace.
Ambrose Lu remained seated with his eyes closed.
…
Everyone stared intently at Jose Shen, not doubting the truth of his words.
A Divine Transformation True Lord wouldn’t dare lie in front of three Tribulation Crossing experts.
Moreover, many cultivators vaguely recalled hearing rumors from the Cyan Cloud Sect years ago about the intentions of the demon realms…
It seems those rumors were true!
They must be taking advantage of Nathan Zhang’s Ascension Tribulation, with countless cultivators gathered in the Western Region. Such a golden opportunity… the demon realms wouldn’t miss it.
“What? The Monster Realm is invading?”
Laura Qin and the other two were shocked, exchanging glances.
“Only the Monster Realm, not the Demon Realm?” Sean Liu asked.
Jose Shen quickly shook his head, “Senior Sean, the message from the sect only mentioned the Monster Realm, not the Demon Realm.”
Sean Liu nodded and looked at Laura Qin and Karl Jiang, saying, “Daoist Friend Jiang, Fairy Qin and I will go with you to the Eastern Region.”
Laura Qin nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Jose Shen breathed a slight sigh of relief.
But just as Laura Qin and Sean Liu were about to set off, a voice rang out,
“Hold on, you two.”
Sean Liu and Laura Qin turned around in surprise, looking at Karl Jiang in confusion.
Not only them, but all the cultivators were also puzzled by this scene.
Karl Jiang pondered, “Since only the Monster Realm is invading the Eastern Region, you two should quickly return to your respective regions. Aren’t you worried that as soon as you arrive in the Eastern Region, the Demon Realm will invade the South, West, and North Regions? By then, no one will be able to handle the Demon Sovereign…”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked!
Indeed, that’s very likely. This diversion tactic is too obvious!
Laura Qin and Sean Liu also frowned at this moment.
Seeing this, Jose Shen felt a chill in his heart and said urgently, “Three Seniors, time is of the essence!”
Laura Qin asked, “Then what do you suggest, Daoist Friend Jiang?”
Karl Jiang replied, “You two should return to your regions. As for the Eastern Region, leave it to me. As the leader of Purple Extreme Thunder Peak in the Eastern Region, it’s my duty.”
“Alright!”
Laura Qin and Sean Liu praised Karl Jiang and then looked at the sea of cultivators, starting to give orders.
They selected some cultivators to aid the Eastern Region and instructed the others to return to their regions to prepare defenses and be wary of the Demon Realm’s invasion.
Soon, the area outside the Carefree Courtyard became empty.
Only Laura Qin, Sean Liu, Karl Jiang, and Ambrose Lu, who was sitting there, remained.
“Hmm? Daoist Friend Jiang, the situation is urgent. Why haven’t you left yet?”
Laura Qin glanced at Karl Jiang in surprise and asked.
“Oh, I was lost in thought just now, hehe. I’m leaving now. See you two later.”
Karl Jiang glanced subtly at Ambrose Lu, then smiled, cupped his hands, and disappeared.
“Fairy Qin, don’t you think Daoist Friend Jiang is acting a bit strange?”
Sean Liu said suspiciously.
Laura Qin nodded and sighed, “Yes, his own region is facing such a major crisis, but he doesn’t seem very anxious. He even considered the other three regions. He wasn’t this warm-hearted before.”
Sean Liu didn’t think further and said, “This matter is serious. We should return to guard against the Demon Realm. Sophia Ji is not an easy opponent.”
“Yes, huh?”
Laura Qin responded and then noticed the figure in cyan cloth sitting on the bench. Her eyes flickered for a moment, and she called out, “Daoist Friend… uh.”
But before she could finish her sentence,
The mysterious man in cyan cloth, along with the bench, dissipated like mist…
Laura Qin and Sean Liu stood there, stunned.
After regaining their composure, they exchanged a glance, nodded to each other, and hurriedly left.
After they left,
Karl Jiang, who had originally left, suddenly reappeared. He looked at the spot where Ambrose Lu had been sitting, his eyes flickering,
“Hmm? Where did he go?”
…
Outside the ascension passage.
Nathan Zhang looked at the open passage, his expression a mix of joy and melancholy.
After over four thousand years of arduous cultivation, he was finally about to enter the legendary Immortal Realm.
Just as he was about to step in,
A figure in cyan cloth appeared at the entrance like a ghost, silently watching him.
Uh, it’s him?
Nathan Zhang was momentarily stunned, then quickly recalled the scene on the stone platform earlier. He had noticed this young man back then but was too focused on his tribulation to pay further attention.
“Daoist Friend, what are you doing?”
Nathan Zhang asked uncertainly.
He thought Ambrose Lu wanted to enter the ascension passage with him, but the passage was protected by a restriction set by the Heavenly Dao. Only those who had passed the Ascension Tribulation could enter. Anyone else attempting to do so would be mercilessly destroyed by the restriction!
Otherwise, Karl Jiang and Laura Qin would have followed him long ago!
“Daoist Friend Lu!”
At this moment, Chu Xiruo arrived late.
Nathan Zhang was dumbfounded and looked at Chu Xiruo, “You… you also want to enter the ascension passage?”
“Let’s go.”
Ambrose Lu said, turning to step in.
Nathan Zhang’s face turned pale, and he shouted urgently, “Daoist Friend, don’t! The ascension passage has a restriction set by the Heavenly Dao. Only those who have passed the Ascension Tribulation can enter. You’ll die… huh?”
By the end of his sentence, Nathan Zhang was bewildered. He saw Ambrose Lu enter safely…
That’s not right. Why didn’t the restriction activate?
“I remember your name is Nathan Zhang, right? Consider yourself lucky to have met me and Daoist Friend Lu. Otherwise, once you reached the other side of the passage, only death would await you! What are you standing there for? Let’s go.”
Chu Xiruo said indifferently and stepped into the ascension passage.
“Oh.” Nathan Zhang followed in a daze.
Bang!
The ascension passage closed!
