Chapter 1547 - Chapter 1547 Chapter 34 Escalation of the Situation

Chapter 1547: Chapter 34: Escalation of the Situation Chapter 1547: Chapter 34: Escalation of the Situation Yancang Castle lay beyond the cool heavens,

The earth crumbled, houses collapsed, and even the strong walls were shaved off significantly, with the air thick with remnants of Evil Qi mingling and the aftermath of Spirit Art clashes.

An Jingtian, Heavenly Patrol Leader of the main branch, appeared calm, but the elite members of the four divisions standing before him didn’t dare to breathe heavily.

For the Dutian Heavenly King Patrol whose intelligence network spanned across Xiehe, their focus was always on events of significant hidden danger.

And with the current situation in Xiehe, nothing was more important than finding the Han Family.

Yet, beneath this highest goal lay other secondary information of importance, such as a twenty-six-year-old Void Grandmaster of unknown origin demanding a betrothal to the Demon King Mansion, and the eight Heavenly Demons wreaking havoc across Lin Chuan.

Among these three intelligence reports, the priority of the eight Heavenly Demons in Lin Chuan was the lowest, even though they had caused colossal damage across a region, they were still less important than the first two.

Because the first implied the possibility of a new saint emerging from the Human Race.

The second concerned an ancient secret.

Not any demon could claim the title of King, especially during that dark era of rampant Heavenly Demons and ancient monsters.

Following the fall of Han Wu, the Martial Saint, the ascendant Three Realms Holy Land over the past millennium did only two things, one was to strengthen itself and the second was to erase the traces left by the Han Family in Xiehe.

Such stories became legends that disappeared into the wind, a secret known only through ancient books preserved by the major holy lands, without another word mentioned.

After all, they were but yellowed tales from over a millennium ago, whose disappearance was not unusual, yet the An Clan vividly remembered everything related to Han Wu,

Including the Demon King that even the combined might of dual saints and a dozen masters struggled to slay with the Hidden Dragon Array.

The bygone era was unlike today. Back then, to assemble such a formation capable of killing a king nearly drained half of Zhongzhou’s resources, yet that dazzling Nine-tailed Fox King still holds a place within the An Clan’s sacred relics.

But the Human Race was too simple back then. The An Family gained millions of years of accumulation from the Fox Demon race, while the Han Family obtained the Demon King’s soul and his cave dwelling.

Viewed through today’s eyes, this exchange was at a loss, but in that particular era, it was precisely through this gain that the An Clan’s power leaped qualitatively.

However, human greed is never satisfied. The An Clan did not know the extent of the Han Family’s resources at its peak, but what was certain was the inclusion of the Minor Spiritual Realm of the Demon King Mansion!

Hence, as soon as the woman demanding the Demon King Mansion’s Minor Spiritual Realm as a betrothal appeared, the Dutian Heavenly King Patrol took notice of her.

The subsequent mobilization of troops and planning of the ambush were overseen by An Jingtian, the master Patrol Leader; they thought the capture would be infallible, yet to their astonishment, this woman was fiercely resolute and her cultivation… so superb.

Led by eight king patrollers and garrison commanders and their dozens of elite squads, such a display of force not only failed to intimidate the woman, but also sparked an intense battle between them.

The woman commanded resentful spirits, reanimating the dead and toying with Blood Fiend skills, astonishing even the well-informed Garrison Commanders.

Even the Dark Art practices of several demonic grandmasters seemed benign compared to this woman’s abilities.

But what can be done, after all? How powerful can one be, especially a woman?

No one took the encirclement seriously, not even after Po Ya exhibited formidable combat prowess, because they were the elite patrollers of the Dutian Heavenly King.

They cultivated the next heavenly orthodoxy, donned extraordinarily mysterious equipment, and more importantly, their numbers far exceeded expectations.

Yet, even with such man overwhelming advantage, they still botched the operation. Po Ya was killed in the siege, meaning the link to the Demon King Mansion was completely severed.

The eight king patrollers and garrison commanders stood before An Jingtian, silent as cicadas in winter, awaiting judgment from their king leader, surprised that the master did not speak out.

An Jingtian’s insight, as the master of the Zhongzhou Divine Court, surpassed everyone present by an immeasurable measure. Others saw only Po Ya’s remarkable combat strength, failing to notice something deeper.

The capabilities exhibited by the opponent were the same essence and origin as the eight Heavenly Demons on Lin Chuan Plain.

A cultivator of An Jingtian’s stature naturally did not believe in coincidences, leaving only one conclusion.

The havoc across Longzhou was not the work of merely eight Heavenly Demons; there was another to account for.

Considering the recorded information of the king patrollers, the most troublesome attribute of Heavenly Demons was their resurrection after death!

So, when Po Ya returns from the netherworld, would she be in Yancang or in Lin Chuan?

“The Fire Department Town Governor stays behind, set up camp here, closely monitor the movements of Spiritual Power in this area, and report promptly until I issue an order, you are not to leave without permission!”

The called Fire Department Town Governor could only bow and comply despite his downcast demeanor, while those not called breathed sighs of relief.

Since Po Ya was not captured, the remaining elite had to follow An Jingtian back to the Divine Court, but the master left in an unusually hurry, as there were important matters to report back at the Qionghua Star Palace.

Ever since the Diancang Mountain incident, where Qionghua Star Lord’s Dharma Body was destroyed by the thirteen Primordial Sword Commands, the Star Lord has not interfered with king patrol affairs, dedicating solely to reconstructing his Dharma Body.

After all, for the Human King, a personal Dharma Body is a crucial matter concerning the path to sanctity, and having entrusted all king patrol affairs to An Jingtian, a trusted member of the same sect, he was reassured.

Moreover, An Jingtian would periodically return to the Divine Court to update the Dutian Heavenly King Patrol on the latest developments, keeping the Qionghua Star Lord well-informed of the patrol progress, despite his absence from the king patrol office.
