Chapter 1137 - Chapter 1137 Chapter 1136 The Fall of the Demons Mutation

Chapter 1137: Chapter 1136: The Fall of the Demons’ Mutation Chapter 1137: Chapter 1136: The Fall of the Demons’ Mutation “Successive messages have come through, could something have happened?” Fang Lin opened his eyes, a slight furrow appearing between his brows as he ceased his cultivation.

His mind entered the Pill Refiner badge; it turned out to be a message from the high levels of the Pill Alliance, instructing Fang Lin to attend a senior meeting at the Ancient Pill Court ten days later.

The Hall Masters of the thirty-two halls were actually also considered high-ranking members of the Pill Alliance, merely stationed separately to guard different areas, and it was rare for them to meet on ordinary days.

If an important high-level conference were to be held, the Hall Masters of the thirty-two halls would have to participate, just like they had gathered before the Talent Battle of the Nine Countries to discuss matters of the conference.

Now a Hall Master, Fang Lin naturally could not avoid attending such meetings, though he was reluctant, yet there was no helping it. If he chose not to go, those with ulterior motives might capture this weakness and exploit it.

Fang Lin wasn’t afraid of being targeted, but firstly, it would be troublesome, and secondly, it would likely cast Elder Tiankui in an unfavorable light.

Fang Lin was familiar with the Ancient Pill Court; it was indeed an important stronghold of the Pill Alliance, and any meetings would typically be held there.

Fang Lin then took out a Message Transmitting Jade Slip, which contained a message from Elder Tiankui, urging him to attend the meeting at the Ancient Pill Court and informing him that there might be some targeting against him at this event.

“Targeting me? I just won against seventeen Hall Masters, who would come after me at this time? And with what excuses or reasons?” Fang Lin set down the Jade Slip, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered inwardly.

Elder Tiankui had not mentioned who wanted to target him, perhaps even Elder Tiankui himself was not quite clear, just having heard some rumors, and therefore took special care to warn Fang Lin.

Fang Lin responded to Elder Tiankui to express that he would be careful.

Fall Demon Cliff, a night dark and windy, billowing demonic Qi making the area rather restless.

Figures arrived from all directions, converging at the top of Fall Demon Cliff.

“Have the members of the Long Family been taken care of?” a chilling voice issued from one of the people in black.

“Not a single one remains alive; all were thrown into the depths of Fall Demon Cliff,” someone answered.

“Good, since the Nine Countries plan to target the Hidden Kill Hall, let us create disturbances to keep them too busy to interfere with the Hidden Kill Hall’s affairs,” the leader of the people in black stood at the edge of Fall Demon Cliff, gazing into the profound abyss below.

The person in black produced an object in his hand, a pitch-black Longsword, around which demonic Qi twisted and writhed eerily.

With the appearance of this sword, a strange transformation occurred below Fall Demon Cliff; countless black tendrils surged frantically, all flying towards the person in black.

The person in black, expressionless, flicked the black Longsword in his hand, and all the tendrils gathered around the sword as if it was of supreme importance to whatever dwelled beneath Fall Demon Cliff.

“Let’s go!” the person in black commanded, and the figures dissipated rapidly, not lingering in the slightest.

Roar!!!!

From beneath Fall Demon Cliff, a thunderous roar erupted, shaking the ground. Terrifying demonic Qi burst forth, enveloping the land for hundreds of miles around.

The closest Yun Country was disturbed by this anomaly, prompting the emperor to urgently dispatch powerful figures to investigate.

Yet the powerful individuals sent by Yun Country never returned, all perishing at Fall Demon Cliff.

Though the demon had not emerged, its menacing presence was unmistakably apparent; anyone who dared approach Fall Demon Cliff inevitably met their death.

Realizing that the situation was beyond ordinary, the royal family of Yun Country, gripped by fear, sought help from the Middle Three Kingdoms.

Yun Country had a good relationship with Xuan Country. Upon learning of the situation, the current emperor of Xuan Country, the Demon Suppressing King, knew the seriousness of the matters at Fall Demon Cliff and, without hesitation, dispatched people to investigate.

As a result, out of ten royal powerhouses who went, only two returned alive. It was later discovered these two had survived merely because they hadn’t approached Fall Demon Cliff; instead, they had been preparing to support the others from behind. When the other eight perished under Fall Demon Cliff, these two discerned the grim situation and immediately fled back.

The moment Demon Suppressing King heard this, he knew the situation was dire. He was well aware of what had transpired at Fall Demon Cliff a millennium ago, and the resurgence of anomaly now suggested that the demon from the Dragon Family had not perished.

Immediately, the Demon Suppressing King informed Qing Nation of the events at Fall Demon Cliff and left the matter to them to handle.

On learning of the anomaly at Fall Demon Cliff, Qing Nation also took the situation seriously. First, they communicated with the Long Family and then sent people to Fall Demon Cliff.

However, this time, Fall Demon Cliff was quietly uneventful; nothing happened despite the swirling demonic qi, without any trace of the rumored anomaly.

The experts from Qing Nation were puzzled. Wasn’t it said that Fall Demon Cliff was on the verge of dangerous upheaval? They had mentally prepared themselves before arriving, but all they found was an area thick with demonic qi, with no anomalies whatsoever.

Still skeptical, the Qing Nation experts stayed at Fall Demon Cliff for several days, but still, nothing happened.

Frustrated, the experts from Qing Nation left Fall Demon Cliff and reported everything they observed to the Qin Emperor.

But just after the experts from Qing Nation had left Fall Demon Cliff, an unexpected event occurred.

A black sword qi burst forth from below Fall Demon Cliff, crossed the sky, and furiously slashed through the heavens.

The nearest city to Fall Demon Cliff in Yun Country, a border city, was caught completely off guard and struck by a catastrophic disaster.

In an instant, the sword qi thundered down, obliterating the entire city; numerous people of Yun Country met a bloody death, with bloodshed reaching the heavens.

The tragic destruction of the city shocked Yun Country, as well as the Nine Countries.

The Upper Three Countries realized simultaneously that a serious incident had indeed occurred at Fall Demon Cliff, and it could no longer be ignored.

Hence, many powerhouses headed to Fall Demon Cliff to investigate, especially to guard against any further drastic changes there.

The Long Family and many families practicing Alchemy Tao also sent many people. Mr. Long Jiu even personally descended upon Fall Demon Cliff, reportedly bringing with him an ancestral heavy artifact of the Long Family.

In a short time, the wind and clouds gathered at Fall Demon Cliff. Many from the Nine Countries knew that a demon troubling the Nine Countries millennium ago was suppressed beneath it. Should it break free, the Nine Countries would not rest in peace.

Moreover, with the imminent conflict with the Seven Seas approaching, should the demon beneath Fall Demon Cliff emerge at this time, the Nine Countries would once again be plunged into a situation of both internal and external troubles, a scenario no one in the Nine Countries wished to see.

Thus, the crisis at Fall Demon Cliff must be eliminated, whether the ancient demon still existed or not; it had to be suppressed or completely eradicated.

Amidst the changing winds and clouds at Fall Demon Cliff, Fang Lin left North Town Hall and had already made his way to Ancient Pill Court, where he was about to attend his first high-level meeting of the Pill Alliance.
