Chapter 777: Chapter 564 Battle with the Great Demon of Heaven Realm

Outside the towering pillars,

the Sect Master of Ban Shan Sect, accompanied by Yan Chongzhang and a group of elders, personally saw them off.

"To tell the truth, I used to think they were quite similar, but now I don’t think so anymore,"

Luo Changchun said softly to Lin You aboard the exquisite Treasure Ship, staring at the slightly fluttering dark gown at the forefront.

Although the current Sect Master Shen bore many resemblances to the mysterious young cultivator who had caused a stir at the Dragon Consort’s birthday banquet, their characters were worlds apart.

The man at the banquet seemed naturally cruel, not nearly as restrained and gentle as this young Sect Master, who had an air of a graciously modest gentleman.

No wonder all these Daozi are so fond of him.

"If there is anything Ban Shan Sect can assist with, a single message will suffice,"

Sect Master Huang said, cupping his fists, his gleeful face hiding a complexity unnoticed by others.

Probably not even the founding ancestor of the sect had imagined that one day their Sect would face off against the Infinite Dao Emperor Sect. How impressive.

Now there was no other choice but to pin their hopes on Sect Master Shen.

"Farewell."

Shen Yi nodded and, with a wave of his hand, steered the Qingyue Treasure Ship toward the agreed-upon direction.

On the journey back, many of the Daozi remained silent, contemplating their experience. This visit to Western Hong had truly broadened their horizons whether it was the various powers with their unique characteristics or the so-called Daoist Soldier Record, these were things the cultivators of Southern Hong never came in contact with.

However, with such short time, they could only observe instead of getting directly involved, which was somewhat regrettable.

The cultivators of Yunhe Sect were quite curious as they looked ahead.

To them, Southern Hong seemed like a place that existed only in rumors - everyone talked about it, but few had ever actually been there.

It was hard for them to imagine that an Immortal Sect could stand toe-to-toe with a Dragon Palace, relying solely on its own power, to the point that the Southern Dragon Palace had to ask the Western Dragon Palace for help in order to suppress the Seven Sons of Hong.

As everyone’s thoughts varied, the Qingyue Treasure Ship hovered in the sky, steadily heading toward the border between the two Hongs.

Ke-eh—

Suddenly, the area was filled with two long cries of a phoenix, which quickly dissipated.

A few of the South Hong Daozi looked around in confusion, while Luo Changchun and the others changed color, "Glazed Green Phoenix? What are they doing here?"

As it goes, although the Green Phoenix Clan is mighty, they are disliked by the Western Dragon Palace and thus dwell atop secluded peaks far from the waters, seldom getting involved in the affairs of Western Hong.

"Could it be that the Southern Dragon Palace also sought their help?"

A few Yunhe Sect elders looked at each other - this was what they feared the most. It was originally a rivalry between the two major powers of the south, with each side showing their strength for comparison, and that should have been enough.

But as more forces got involved, some with deep-seated grievances, the situation could only become more chaotic. It might have been possible that those who initially wouldn’t have fought could be forced into a life-and-death struggle, potentially leading to a slaughter affecting both Southern and Western Hong’s territories.

That’s why the Sect Master of Yunhe wanted to ask the Purple-Bearded White Dragon clan to intervene for peace.

"It seems like they are just passing by,"

As the cries of the phoenix faded, Luo Changchun slowly exhaled and then smiled at Lin You, "It shouldn’t be. The Dragon Palaces naturally dislike the Green Phoenixes; they’d be lucky if they don’t get into trouble with them, let alone seek their help."

Lin You managed a smile, yet her expression grew increasingly solemn.

It wasn’t that she sensed any particular aura.

She had been gazing absentmindedly at Sect Master Shen’s back, comparing him in her mind with the man she had seen at the previous birthday banquet.

And just as the phoenix cries vanished, she noticed the pale hand that emerged from the sleeve of the dark gown slowly clenched.

The next moment, the entire treasure ship came to a standstill in the sky, as if caught in an invisible quagmire, unable to move an inch.

A faint smell of blood spread through the air, tinging the surrounding clouds a dark red.

Though it was high noon, the piercing sunlight was obscured by the accumulating red clouds, leaving slivers of moonlight to fall through the gaps, scattering like shimmering silver fragments on the surging dark waters below.

"..."

Shen Yi lowered his eyes to a floating island below, all the changes triggered by the sudden appearance of a huge, lazy figure on the island, its snow-white fur sleek and glistening, with pitch-black stripes twisting with the movement of its muscles.

A prime aged, powerful Fierce Tiger slowly opened its eyes, its vertical pupils scanning the sky.

Instantly, many cultivators on the ship felt a pervasive suffocation.

"An, An Tingfeng!"

Compared to the Glazed Green Phoenix Clan, these tigers struck greater fear into the hearts of Yunhe Sect members.

Not because the Frost Tigers were stronger, but because they were more aggressive and had a better relationship with the Dragon Palaces.

Of course, most importantly, they had provoked this Great Demon Race during the last banquet!

Could it really be? Was a little verbal conflict worth the renowned clan leader’s personal intervention?

"Elder An..."

The elders from Yunhe Sect sensed the scent of blood at the tip of their noses; clearly, this Fierce Tiger had some malicious intentions.

Upon hearing the name An Tingfeng, the numerous Daozi of South Hong also reacted immediately, and even though their stay had been brief, they inevitably learned about the Frost Tiger Clan.

This was a Great Demon comparable to the Perfection Earth Realm!

But why would it suddenly appear to intercept them on their way, as if it was all premeditated?
