Chapter 827: Chapter 581: Return to the Treasure Flower Sect

"Demons! So many demons!"

As the "outpost" of the Seven Sons of Southern Hong, the Treasure Flower Sect had seen all sorts of calamities over the years.

But at this moment, facing the inquiries of their own Sect Master and another three elders of the Union Realm Stage, the Great Elder of the Treasure Flower Sect was still trembling with fear, his eyes unfocused, looking as if scared out of his wits.

It must be noted that the current state of the Treasure Flower Sect was unscathed, with Formations intact, meaning they hadn’t directly faced that horde of Great Demons.

Merely watching from the sidelines, and even then, spying from their sanctuary, just what kind of terrifying scene had unfolded to reduce a Baiyu Capital Cultivator to such disarray?

The Sect Masters exchanged glances, their expressions turning slightly grim; it seemed that the situation was much worse than they had imagined.

"Please forgive me, esteemed elders, I really can’t tell just how many... The Demon Clouds blotted out the sky, and their mere passage caused our Sect’s Great Formation to tremble violently, indicating that this is not the force of any single power, not even the Western Dragon Palace could mobilize such strength!"

It took a great effort for the Elder of the Treasure Flower Sect to steady his mind, his face filled with horror as he said, "With so many demons emerging, Southern Hong is about to descend into chaos."

He had never seen so many Great Demons of such terrifying power in his lifetime.

Moreover, this group of demons had mysteriously gathered together.

"..."

Deng Xiangjun retracted his gaze and said nothing, a complex look in his eyes.

While escorting the Sect Master of the Treasure Flower Sect back, their journey had been calm, and they hadn’t seen the demons mentioned by the Elder of the Treasure Flower Sect.

Of course, he wasn’t suggesting the other was spouting nonsense.

Deng Xiangjun was just thinking deeper.

The sudden southward migration of Western Hong’s demons, such a massive movement, was definitely orchestrated by the Western Dragon Palace, but he did not believe those demons, used to freedom, would willingly obey the Dragon Palace’s orders and march to their deaths as Vanguard Generals for the conquest of the Seven Sons of Southern Hong.

It was more likely they were coerced.

But at this moment, clearly someone was passing them messages; otherwise, Southern Hong would have already been in chaos, not as tranquil as they had observed on their way.

None of the Sect Masters were fools.

In an instant, they came to a terrifying conclusion.

The damned Southern Dragon Palace had treated Southern Hong like a rare delicacy, a piece of fat meat on the chopping board, carelessly offered to these south-migrating demons, and only in this way could they temporarily suppress their nature.

If those Great Demons were really roused to kill, it would not just be the cultivators they slaughtered; the Aquatic Race would not escape either.

"That old madman, he’s really gambling with our lives!"

Deng Xiangjun sighed heavily, almost able to imagine that, even after the Seven Sons of Southern Hong and the Southern Dragon Palace had settled their scores, this vast land and water would still not find peace for a long time, with widespread mourning and devastation.

As for how to respond,

they didn’t even know the number of demons, let alone have any strategy to cope; this was simply not a disaster that any single power could resolve alone.

If it were a normal situation, with Western Hong’s demons invading Southern Hong, to stand a chance of defending would likely require a joint effort from the Seven Sons and the Dragon Palace.

What’s more, the Southern Dragon Palace was the very one that had sold out Southern Hong, sitting right across from them.

That is to say, the Seven Sons of Southern Hong must resist not only the Southern Dragon Palace but also the entire Demon Race of Western Hong, while remaining vigilant against the stealth attacks of the Western Dragon Palace.

Let alone the present Seven Sons, even when Brother Qin was here, he might not have succeeded!

Protect the vassal forces and Alliance Sects? If these demons truly obeyed the Dragon Palace’s orders, then the Seven Sons had better worry about themselves first.

"I’m afraid... we need to involve Xuan Qing again, and seek the intentions of the East Dragon Palace." The Sect Master of the Unparalleled Sect gave a bitter smile. In such a crisis, the most useful person was actually the former Sect Master of Nanyang Sect, the son-in-law of the East Dragon Palace.

"Honored elders."

Hearing the name of Xuan Qing, the Sect Master of the Treasure Flower Sect took a deep breath, concealing the bitterness at the corner of his mouth, "Please return quickly."

Apart from their own Sect, under the command of the Seven Sons of Southern Hong, there were still thousands of vassal forces and millions of cultivators, completely devoid of the sanctuary’s protection, and beneath these millions of cultivators, the number of laypeople dependent on them for survival was innumerable.

"From today onwards, let’s temporarily close down the Grand Formation of the Bao Hua Sect. Sect Master, please take the effort to welcome all nearby creatures into the sanctuary." Deng Xiangjun nodded gently.

"I understand, please rest assured, elder"

The Sect Master of the Treasure Flower Sect no longer said much, personally seeing the three guests out of the sanctuary, and watched as they departed.

"Master..." Fairy Zhi Lan supported the old woman, trying hard to stay calm, but her greenish-white fingertips still couldn’t help trembling slightly.

"Go make the arrangements."

The Sect Master of the Treasure Flower Sect looked sympathetically at her disciple, although the latter was the heir to the sanctuary, she was no different in age from an infant compared to those Daozi, neither in experience nor in cultivation, and now she faced such a crisis that even her master found daunting.

"The disciple understands."

Zhi Lan nodded solemnly and then took out her Dao Plate, speaking in a calm and familiar yet methodical voice, she began to mobilize the Sect’s Elders and many Stewards in the most efficient way to start receiving the innocent creatures from nearby.

Whether it was the method of reception or the arrangements after entering the sanctuary, the Sect Master of the Treasure Flower Sect could find no fault.

It was quite ironic.

She had only tried to take over the affairs of the Treasure Flower Sect to find someone, but that person had yet to say a word to her. And yet, she was gradually becoming a qualified Daozi.

As time passed, the sun and moon rotated.

Under the guidance of many cultivators of the Treasure Flower Sect, wave after wave of vassal forces began pouring into the sanctuary.
