An Era of Drastic Change

"The situation in the Old Earth is very serious, even more terrifying," Old Chen told Wang Xuan. He understood Wang Xuan's desire to go home, but the situation there was not necessarily more peaceful than here.

"Are my parents really alright?" Wang Xuan asked with some worry. The Demonic Creatures and Monsters were too ferocious, causing all sorts of trouble; he was genuinely afraid something terrible had happened back in the Old Earth.

"Now, they spend their days flipping through ancient books and reading history books, and they live a very fulfilling life," Old Chen reassured him.

Some time ago, Wang Xuan's parents were taken away by Qing Mu to a place near the Relevant Department, which was considered the safest place in the Old Earth.

In that city, there is the largest museum of cultural relics, and all kinds of extraordinary Heavy Artifact that can annihilate spiritual beings and suppress demons!

Chen Yongjie said, "Your parents are very calm, even Qing Mu is ashamed of himself. The two of them read all kinds of myths and legends and ancient historical books every day, and they actually seem to enjoy it very much."

Wang Xuan was helpless. His parents had always been easygoing and didn't care much about his coming to New Star. Moreover, when he left, the two of them happily planned to go on a trip.

"That 'Old Zhang' appeared in the Old Earth last time. He was formally invited by the Relevant Department. The relationship between the two sides is quite good. He has a lot of influence and keeps all sorts of evil spirits from going too far."

"I'm starting to not want to go back." Wang Xuan was unsure. Was that really Old Zhang from Dragon Tiger Mountain? He was increasingly doubting it!

"He left his Old Earth and may have returned to the New Moon." Chen Yongjie pointed to the moon in the sky.

Recently, things have been very chaotic behind the Great Curtain. All sorts of important figures are vying for the treasure and have no time to spare, as they are all trying to find a way to obtain it.

"Where did the Red-clothed Demon Immortal and the Female Daoist practitioner go? Have you found them?" Wang Xuan asked.

Chen Yongjie shook his head and said, "We haven't found any trace of them yet."

They were preparing for their retreat and needed to find out who was Quasi-King Xuan's large warship. If it was hit as soon as it took off, the consequences would be dire.

This time, some members of Old Chen's organization will also be going back, and the warships will be under their control.

Before leaving, they would also conduct one last looting spree. If they didn't take those extraordinary artifacts and scriptures with them, they would be given to the Transcendent Immortals and demons.

So on this night, the two of them took action, taking a night tour of the New Star!

Whether it's conglomerates or top Life Science Research Institute, these two have all been visited. At this stage, they can't be too polite.

If you don't take some things with you, they will definitely fall into the hands of demons!

"I never imagined that these gene research institutes would have more monsters than anywhere else!"

The two were very surprised. Various spiritual entities, carrying real bones, wanted to use technological means to make their flesh and blood grow faster and reshape their true bodies.

Wang Xuan's expression turned strange. He said, "Many of them are demons. Remember these places first, and don't alert them for now. Collect them before you leave, and take these demon bone jars with you!"

Since we're destined to be adversaries, there's no point in being soft-hearted!

In a sense, those true bones are cultivation resources. In today's world, Super Material are scarce, and Wang Xuan desperately needs these bones with decaying Inner Scenery Realm.

"Use it if you can. In less than a year, these decaying Inner Scenery Realm will collapse on their own," Chen Yongjie nodded.

Now everyone can see the big trend: any trace of the extraordinary will inevitably be completely erased.

"We are cultivating in a hopeless era, embarking on this path. Thinking about it, it's truly a helpless situation..." Wang Xuan's feelings were complicated.

In the current environment, even the most confident person or the most powerful Transcendent Immortals cannot find a viable path forward, and no one can see the future clearly.

Overnight, the two traveled all over the place and made a considerable fortune!

However, the New Star was too big, with many large organizations and figures of Transcendent Immortals and demons everywhere. The two of them had to be on guard while making their move, and one night was simply not enough time.

Because many places already have owners, they quietly snatch food from the mouths of Transcendent Immortals and demons.

"Something's happened to the Zhao Family." Wang Xuan's expression changed. He was in contact with Zhao Zejun and knew that they were setting sail at noon today to enter deep space.

He and Old Chen rushed over, ready to receive a batch of extraordinary artifacts from the Zhao Family, and also to help Old Zhao check if any demons had infiltrated.

Wang Xuan hadn't even entered the Zhao Family yet. He was in the distance, his spirit leaving his body to carefully investigate with his Heavenly Eye. He saw demonic energy and even a Blood Shadow!

"When we passed by yesterday, the Zhao Family was fine. The demons definitely arrived today, or even not long ago." Old Chen's expression also changed.

The creatures behind the Great Curtain are becoming increasingly aggressive, appearing impatient and indiscriminate in their hunger; they're practically going crazy!

At this moment, demons are desperately trying to seize territory and take over the wealth of the tycoons.

"This is indeed terrifying; they want a large number of warships." Wang Xuan's expression was also very grim.

If it were an ancient demon, it would be easier to deal with, but now that the other party has integrated into modern society and kept up with the times, it becomes difficult.

The Zhao Family is now in chaos. Even they themselves have discovered demons, with Blood Shadow roaming around, causing some high-ranking members to faint and fall to the ground.

Even more likely, a key figure has been Seize Body and directly ordered not to set sail, but to remain in place, saying that some family members are sick and need emergency treatment.

"Seven Demon Immortals arrived, their true bones shrouded in blood mist. Such people are suitable for Seize Body and taking over!"

"There were also six flesh-and-blood demons who had transformed into human form and came to visit. They were welcomed inside by the Zhao Family who had Seize Body!"

Wang Xuan stared ahead; all of this had happened in a short period of time. The demons had indeed arrived before noon, intercepting the Zhao Family and preventing them from leaving.

Currently, the biggest weakness of all organizations is their inability to defend against the invasion of spiritual entities. If they are all physical demons, they really cannot stop the warships.

Taking advantage of the chaos at the Zhao Family's residence, the two sneaked in and headed straight for the demons.

"Fortunately, we stopped them before they set off, which gives us another strong asset and more security to cope with changes."

"Who could have imagined that the Ascension Banner would appear and be seized by an unparalleled expert? All factions behind the Great Curtain are uneasy. If that person refines it completely, many people will be wiped out by him. Even the combined forces of peerless experts cannot stop him!"

The demons are talking about it.

Wang Xuan and Chen Yongjie exchanged glances, both feeling a chill run down their spines. Sure enough, something big had happened. Someone had obtained a priceless treasure, causing other top figures to become restless and ready to flee into the mortal world at any moment.

Behind the Great Curtain, blood will flow like rivers, and peerless experts will fall!

"Um?"

Wang Xuan recognized the familiar demons: the Hei Lie, the Silver Bat, and the Green Wolf. He had clashed with them back in the Ling Family, where they were incredibly powerful and arrogant.

The three of them led a group of flesh-and-blood demons, and it was they who actually came to the Zhao Family.

However, their leader Blood Peng, was not seen. He was probably still leading more flesh and blood demons in search of the Heavenly Medicine Seed.

The next moment, Wang Xuan's pupils contracted!

He saw Zhao Zejun, whose face was deathly pale and who was extremely thin, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. He looked completely different from before.

"After all, we are just mortals, lacking a strong spirituality in our blood," Silver Bat said, his white hair disheveled and a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

Is this caused by a bat spirit sucking blood?!

Wang Xuan's Killing Intent was instantly revealed. If something happened to Zhao Zejun, it would be a great regret, after all, he was Zhao Qinghan's father.

"Be content. Times have changed. Where will we find any more extraordinary Blood Food in the future? Relatively speaking, human beings have far more vitality and spirit than other species."

The Green Wolf opened its mouth, revealing its true form: a body covered in blue fur, radiating a murderous aura, with a bright red mouth and terrifying fangs.

"When should we deal with him?" Hei Lie looked down at Zhao Zejun, preparing to absorb the spiritual energy from his flesh and blood.

Silver Bat, dressed in a tailcoat as if attending a banquet, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a clean white silk handkerchief and said, "Don't rush, let's keep him alive to lure that Wang Xuan. It's said that his daughter has a close relationship with Wang Xuan, so it would be a waste not to use him to his advantage."

He only drank Zhao Zejun's blood, leaving behind his spirit, intending to continue digging pits.

"He killed so many of us, so naturally we must capture him. And there's the special Inner Scenery Realm; if Heaven grants it and we don't take it, we'll surely suffer the consequences." Hei Lie nodded. He had a humanoid body covered in black fur, even his face. When he smiled, his fangs were snow-white, making him look extremely ferocious.

Wang Xuan hid in a distant building, barely suppressing his murderous intent and controlling his boiling rage. He was waiting for an opportunity; rushing over now might not be enough to save Zhao Zejun.

Old Chen was also silently wiping the Snow White Conch, and then gripped the black longsword tightly. The demons were really going too far!

Silver Bat tossed the snow-white silk scarf in his hand onto Zhao Zejun's face, who was lying motionless on the ground, and smiled as he looked down, "Where did your daughter go? It's a real shame she's not home."

Zhao Zejun was very weak and didn't speak, turning his face away with difficulty. He, who was originally handsome, was now so thin that he looked almost unrecognizable.

"The world has changed, times have changed dramatically, you will gradually adapt." Silver Bat smiled.

Hei Lie squatted down, patted Zhao Zejun's face and said, "You should be glad your daughter isn't here, otherwise it would have been even more tragic, and you would have died with your eyes wide open in disbelief."

"Be gentle, don't break him." The Green Wolf grinned, and although he was in a physical body, he sat on a three-seater sofa in the living room like a human, crushing it under his weight.

Hei Lie nodded, patted Zhao Zejun's face again, and said, "Live well. This world is still wonderful. Think more about the beautiful things. For example, if your daughter comes back soon and sees that the house has changed and is full of Demon Immortals, wouldn't she be pleasantly surprised?"

"Get out!" Zhao Zejun shouted angrily with all his might.

Hei Lie stood up, kicked him more than three meters away, and said calmly, "You still can't find your place? The future belongs to the Transcendent Immortals Conglomerates and the Demon Immortals Conglomerates. You have already exited the stage of history."

The moment the demons moved slightly away from Zhao Zejun, Wang Xuan moved, drifting forward silently like a wisp of smoke, and then quickly made his move.

With a whoosh, he summoned a crystalline thread from the moon, which, driven by Super Material, spread like a dragon and instantly wrapped around Zhao Zejun.

Wang Xuan pulled hard, sending him flying off the ground!

"Heh, you've really come. You're quick on your feet." Silver Bat chuckled coldly, taking off his tuxedo to reveal a close-fitting white shirt, and unbuttoning two buttons.
