179: Long Night Ancient Demon
The Seal in the Silent Ancient Domain had loosened, and the Ancient Demons from the ancient battlefield were gradually awakening and recovering, plundering the Xuanhe Star Territory and slaughtering many living beings.
Then, like a plague of locusts, they rushed towards the neighboring Weiyang Star Region.
However, the Ancient Demons were not foolish; after encountering the boundless Great Wall at the border of the Weiyang Star Region and losing many Ancient Demons, their army temporarily slowed its pace.
Although the Ancient Demons suffered heavy casualties, the Seven Great Sects also had many Cultivator losses.
Instead, they fully focused on plundering the remaining living beings in the Xuanhe Star Territory, both expanding their forces and strengthening their power.
Not only that, these Ancient Demons were also trying to open other Seals to release more Ancient Demons.
The vast majority of these Ancient Demons were Refining Void Stage Cultivators, with a considerable number of Body Integration Stage and Mahayana Stage ones, and even some Undergoing Tribulation Stage ones, but fewer compared to the Human Race's Seven Great Sects.
Tens of thousands of kilometers beyond the Endless Great Wall, on a lush green planet, Devilish Qi suddenly ran rampant.
In an instant, this planet transformed into a barren planet, with desolate deserts everywhere it reached.
Just then, an extremely hideous and terrifying Ancient Demon crawled out from underground on that barren planet.
But this Ancient Demon was different from other extremely bloodthirsty Ancient Demons; as soon as he crawled out, he stood calmly in place, seemingly sensing the air he hadn't felt for hundreds of thousands of years.
"Ah~~~!!"
"How wonderful, I, Changye, am finally out!"
"Thunder Palace, just you wait!"
"Once I recover my strength, I'll come and annihilate you!"
While he was muttering to himself, a black-robed figure landed beside him.
"Changye Celestial Demon, congratulations on breaking the Seal and returning to the human world!"
The Changye Celestial Demon immediately turned around, grinning, "Human Race? Hehe!"
"Did you help me?"
"Then how do you think I should repay you?"
The black-robed figure responded indifferently, "Repay? Heh heh, if Changye Celestial Demon truly wants to repay, he can go in that direction!"
The direction the black-robed figure pointed was precisely the border between the Weiyang Star Region and the Xuanhe Star Territory.
The Changye Celestial Demon looked in that direction, as if seeing through the Void Realm, and pouted, "There's a lot of flesh and blood there, but they're all hiding behind the wall. I just broke the Seal, so I can't do it for now, Human Race!"
"How about, Human Race, you let me taste your flesh and blood essence first? Maybe once I recover, I can repay you!"
The Changye Celestial Demon licked his dry lips and chuckled.
The black-robed figure in front of him did not get angry, only chuckled softly.
"Don't worry, I've already prepared it for you!"
As soon as the words fell, a small mountain of Cultivators was piled directly in front of the Changye Celestial Demon.
There were various races among them, including many beast races and Human Race!
And many of those Human Race were even wearing the attire of Ascension Palace Cultivators!
"Oh, not bad, one thousand Soul Transformation Stage, two thousand Void Refining, three hundred Body Integration, twenty Mahayana, and five Undergoing Tribulation."
"Devouring this flesh and blood, I should be able to recover to fifty percent of my Peak strength!"
"However, you also feel very tempting, don't you?" The Changye Celestial Demon licked his lips maliciously, and even a hint of madness appeared in his eyes.
The black-robed figure chuckled softly, "You're not qualified enough yet, but once you recover to forty percent strength, you should be able to easily break through that Great Wall and slaughter those Cultivators!"
"If you devour those Cultivators, you should barely be able to fight me for ten rounds."
It was the first time the Changye Celestial Demon had seen such an arrogant Human Race Cultivator.
This made him laugh inwardly, "Good, good!"
"Human Race, I remember your Qi. At that time, you won't be able to hide, will you?"
"Don't worry, after I eat those Human Race, I will come to see you!"
Hearing this, the black-robed figure nodded in satisfaction, then disappeared like a phantom.
The Changye Celestial Demon smacked his lips.
"What an interesting human. Not only did he break the Seal for me, but he also sent so much blood food."
"Good, good, then after I devour this blood food, I'll go play at that Great Wall!"
......
The Seven Great Sects dispersed their meeting. Although there were some unpleasantries regarding how to unite against the Ascension Palace, they were surprisingly consistent in dealing with the Ancient Demons.
In a pavilion, Yang Jiu sipped his tea, seemingly waiting for someone.
After a short while, a woman in a moon-white dress indeed arrived at the pavilion.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Yang."
The newcomer was Jiang Sangning.
The discord between the Yin Sect and the Yang Sect was merely a facade for others to see.
Yang Jiu smiled slightly, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, please sit. The Yin and Yang Sects have been friends since ancient times, so there's no need to be polite."
"Moreover, I heard the other day that your Sect's Saintess was brought by my Saint."
"Even I didn't know about this."
Jiang Sangning chuckled, "Actually, I was also very surprised at the time, until Old Ancestor told me a few months ago, and only then did I know."
Yang Jiu nodded affirmatively, then spoke with a solemn expression about the main topic: "The Seal of the Silent Ancient Domain was probably opened by the Ascension Palace, and even one of our Seven Great Sects has long become a Puppet of the Ascension Palace!"
"So, Fellow Daoist Yang's extreme behavior in the main hall just now was an act?" Jiang Sangning suddenly understood.
Yang Jiu nodded, "I have to thank Fellow Daoist Yuan for this."
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, according to the intelligence our Yang Sect has, the Yuan Sect and the Five Elements Sect are on the same side as me."
"The remaining Puppets are among these last three Sects. Unfortunately, after several days of observation, no Cultivator has revealed their true colors."
"However, I feel that the Meng Sect is highly suspicious!"
"Although I don't have evidence yet, my intuition tells me so!"
Jiang Sangning nodded secretly after hearing this.
"Since Fellow Daoist Yang has an intuition, it's probably not wrong. Our Cultivators' intuitions are often very significant!"
"Moreover, the Meng Sect has always been extraordinarily mysterious and has very little contact with our other Great Sects."
Hearing Jiang Sangning's affirmative words, Yang Jiu also nodded.
"It seems we really need to observe the Meng Sect carefully then!"
Just as Yang Jiu was pondering.
Suddenly, a huge alarm sounded in the Seven Sects' camp.
"A Cultivator with Ancient Demon Qi is rapidly approaching from a million miles away!"
The next second.
"Already ninety thousand miles from us!"
"No, already fifty thousand miles from us!"
Yang Jiu and Jiang Sangning's expressions changed drastically upon hearing this.
This situation was very bad.
They quickly flew towards the main building of the Great Wall.
At this moment, the Sect Masters of the Five Elements Sect and other Sects stood nervously in place.
Just as Yang Jiu was about to say something, he suddenly felt the Great Wall, which had always been unmoving and majestic, shaking violently.
They hadn't even clearly seen what had collided with the Great Wall.
Immediately after, they heard a mocking voice.
"Oh, so it's a primordial chaos spiritual treasure containing the Law of Earth, but is it that great?"
"Heh heh, back in my Peak period, I, Changye Celestial Demon, even devoured a primordial chaos spiritual treasure ranked tenth!"
Upon hearing these words, everyone's expressions couldn't help but reveal an extremely chilling coldness.
"It's a Celestial Demon!"
