Chapter 235: Chapter 47: Demon Path Crowd and Primordial Energy Fluctuations (Monthly Ticket Additional Release)

"Crack—"

The sound of wood being split by fire arose as Xiang Haorang held a branch in one hand, stirring the firewood in the fire while supporting his chin with his other hand resting on his leg, and commented dispiritedly, "We are truly in a sorry state. Those from the Righteous Path stay in the town, sleeping in beds, while we have to camp in the wilderness under the open sky. Even the lowliest underlings are living better than us now."

No one responded to Xiang Haorang’s words. His companions were either meditating with closed eyes or sitting on a tree watching the moonlight, uninterested in engaging with him.

Although no one responded, Xiang Haorang continued to talk to himself, relieving the boredom.

As he shifted his story from a minor anecdote about the Emperor of Northern Zhou to the unavoidable tales involving Master Bin of the Great Zen Temple and a certain Miss Bai, a dark shadow appeared by the fire without warning. Even the flames of the fire didn’t flicker with the arrival of this shadow.

"Demon Young Master," Xiang Haorang stopped his fabricated storytelling and stood up to greet.

"Demon Young Master," others also stood up or descended from their perches to greet the Demon Young Master.

"Four people, where’s the fifth?" came a grim voice from beneath a wide-brimmed hat. The tone of the Demon Young Master was far from polite, yet the four present showed no displeasure, evidencing his status within the Demon Path.

"That little vixen from the Yin Demon Sect might have run off to find a pond to bathe in," guessed a large, rough-looking man carelessly.

However, his voice grew quieter, eventually fading out as he sensed a chilling killing intent, like a blade lightly caressing his neck, causing his hair to stand on end.

Xiang Haorang silently smiled; this rough man was outspoken, and it was expected he would be taught a lesson. Sure enough, he had quickly offended the high-ranking mistress of the Yin Demon Sect.

The Yin Demon Sect was not what it used to be.

Even in this world where Martial Arts flourished, women were still often looked down upon because they were naturally gentler compared to men, and even if they were skilled in Martial Arts, they seldom received due recognition—except for those stunningly beautiful women surrounded by countless sycophants.

This was particularly evident within the Demon Path.

In the past, the Yin Demon Sect, despite being one of the Six Demon Sects, was not particularly powerful and was thus disregarded.

However, everything changed when Yin Tianxia came into power.

Yin Tianxia truly had means. She had entirely ensnared Zhu Xiping, capturing his body and soul completely. She did not drain Zhu Xiping of his power through vigor-sapping methods, as Ascending to God was not that easily achievable for those of the Divinity Realm.

She made Zhu Xiping willingly surrender all his power. Hence, Yin Tianxia was able to integrate his power, allowing her Ascend to God.

Zhu Xiping was brave enough to challenge Meng Shanhe, the Eighth Great Confucian Grandmaster on the Heavenly List, and his skills were extraordinary. With this acquired strength and decades of dedicated cultivation, Yin Tianxia became the top adversary among the Six Demon Sects, and thus she was the one negotiating with the Righteous Path this time.

As a disciple of Yin Tianxia, the little vixen mentioned by the rough man was certainly not a pushover. The four of them, all top disciples from the Six Demon Sects, were submissive before the Demon Young Master. Yet, that senior lady dared to be absent, showing no respect to the Demon Young Master.

The difference in their caliber was evident.

"Gongshan Zhen, if you wish to die, I can facilitate that!"

Just as Gongshan Zhen was on the verge of retaliating under the threat of imminent death, a cold voice intervened. Although it was a threat, the encircling killing intent at the neck dissipated, allowing Gongshan Zhen to breathe a sigh of relief.

He had wanted to act, not to fight back but to try to save his life temporarily, hoping the Demon Young Master would lend assistance. Given that the mere intangible killing intent evoked a premonition of death, he knew the little vixen from the Yin Demon Sect could kill him in an instant.

’Spit, what little vixen—it’s senior lady! Serves you right for having a loose tongue,’ Gongshan Zhen berated himself inwardly. One careless comment had almost cost him his life. If he were to die that way, his folly would probably become a cautionary tale etched in stone.

In the dark forest, a figure in white emerged. Dressed in a white palace outfit, with hair black as ebony and skin creamy as jade, she walked gracefully under the moonlight, casting the brilliant moon itself into dullness by comparison.

’Gongshan Zhen is certainly not a man,’ Xiang Haorang threw a glance at the sweat-drenched Gongshan Zhen. To speak against such a beautiful woman, he must not be a man, at least not one with the normal inclinations of one.

Now that the last person had arrived, the Demon Young Master looked around at everyone and nodded lightly, "Now that you are all here, it means that all arrangements are in place, good."

"Tomorrow, we shall strike."

··················

Inside Cuige Town.

Qing Yu sat on the bed cross-legged, his hands positioned opposite each other with the ’Xuanji Jade Crystal’ placed at the Dantian, his eyes closed and cultivating his Inner Strength.

Having witnessed the prowess of Yuan Jianyi and the Demon Young Master among other young elites during the day, he knew their strength was on par with his own, and they were possibly going to advance to Divine Origin sometime soon.

Meanwhile, ’Little Buddha’ Shi Jue from the Great Zen Temple had already started his retreat, presumably beginning his advancement to Divine Origin.

At this moment, Qing Yu was still a step away from the Innate Nine Layers, let alone facing the challenge from the Keeper at the Innate Realm, putting him significantly behind.

Hence, he was engaged in relentless cultivation day and night. Otherwise, he would fall behind these exceptional young talents once again.

"Hmm?"

In the midst of his cultivation, Qing Yu suddenly furrowed his brows and slowly opened his eyes, "What’s going on? The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi seems a bit abnormal."

Qing Yu’s ’Heavenly Person Rebirth Technique’ aimed to merge with the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, making him particularly sensitive to any anomalies. Just then, he sensed a slight increase in the surrounding Primordial Energy.

This slight increase, though seemingly minor, was significant. If Qing Yu’s senses were correct, this increase wasn’t confined to his immediate vicinity or just the room; the small courtyard outside was experiencing the same phenomenon.

Qing Yu put away the ’Xuanji Jade Crystal’ and swung open the window, jumping down into the courtyard. Outside, the sensation was even more palpable, with a slight increase in Primordial Qi across a large surrounding area.

Such a vast area experiencing an increase, if added up, was far beyond a mere ’slight’ increase.

"This is abnormal!"

Estimating the amount of Primordial Energy just dispersing into the air, Qing Yu felt it almost matched a small piece of ’Xuanji Jade Crystal.’ If regions beyond his sensing were experiencing the same, then this sudden surge of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was indeed terrifying.
