Lu Ya Descends Upon Myriad Demon Mountain, Kunpeng and Bai Ze Are Deeply Moved!

Myriad Demon Mountain, Demon Emperor Hall.

Bai Ze, Fei Lian, Ji Meng, Ying Zhao, and Shang Yang—the five Demon Sages—were stunned beyond measure!

After a moment, Bai Ze analyzed, "Lord Demon Master, Nine Infants was at the mid-stage Quasi-Sage Realm."

"Even if he encountered an expert at the late Quasi-Sage Realm, Nine Infants could have fled if he was outmatched. It would have been impossible to kill him."

"Only an expert at the peak Quasi-Sage Realm or above could pose a fatal threat to Nine Infants!"

Fei Lian, Ji Meng, Shang Yang, and Ying Zhao, the four Demon Sages, said, "That's right. Only an expert at the peak Quasi-Sage Realm or above could kill Nine Infants in a single strike!"

Bai Ze said, "Lord Demon Master, in the Primordial World, aside from the sects of the Heavenly Dao Saints, there are experts whose cultivation is at the peak Quasi-Sage Realm or above."

"What Rogue Cultivators or hidden experts could possess the strength to kill Nine Infants?"

Kunpeng pondered for a moment before saying, "Among the experts in the Primordial World at the peak Quasi-Sage Realm or above, aside from the sects of the Heavenly Dao Saints—"

"There are only Patriarch Styx, Zhenyuanzi of Five Villages Temple on Longevity Mountain, and Patriarch Bodhi of Spirit Platform Square-Inch Mountain in Eastern Victory Divine Continent!"

"Then there is Kong Xuan, son of the Primordial Phoenix, as well as the Wuyi Mountain Rogue Cultivators Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao!"

"As for whether any of the three thousand Great Dao Demon Gods escaped the Heaven-Opening Tribulation and remained in the Primordial World, that is unknown!"

After hearing this, the five Demon Sages all began speculating inwardly about the experts at the peak Quasi-Sage Realm and above whom Demon Master Kunpeng had mentioned.

Just then, a voice rang in the ears of everyone within the Demon Sage Hall.

"What did you say? Nine Infants has fallen?"

"Who was it? Who killed Demon Sage Nine Infants?"

Inside the hall, Demon Master Kunpeng and Demon Sages Bai Ze, Fei Lian, Ying Zhao, Shang Yang, Ji Meng, and the others heard the familiar voice.

At once, Kunpeng and the others exclaimed in shock, "This is... the voice of His Highness the Tenth Prince?"

In an instant, all six of them hurriedly fled out of the hall.

When Kunpeng and the other five arrived outside, they saw a figure speeding toward the Demon Sage Hall.

"This is the Demon Emperor's peerless escape divine ability, the Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Art!"

"It's His Highness the Tenth Prince!" Kunpeng, Bai Ze, Fei Lian, Ying Zhao, Ji Meng, Shang Yang, and the others cried out in astonishment.

Just as the six of them finished speaking, a figure descended before the gathered experts.

Kunpeng and the others saw that the newcomer was none other than Lu Ya, the Demon Race's Tenth Prince.

At once, Kunpeng, Bai Ze, Fei Lian, Ying Zhao, Ji Meng, and Shang Yang respectfully said:

"We pay respects to His Highness the Tenth Prince!"

With a casual wave of his hand, Lu Ya said, "Demon Master, Bai Ze, Fei Lian, Ji Meng, Ying Zhao, Shang Yang, rise."

After Kunpeng and the others stood up, Lu Ya's face darkened as he asked, "Demon Master, how exactly did Nine Infants fall?"

Kunpeng said, "Your Highness the Tenth Prince, the cause of this matter must be traced back to what happened in the North Sea."

Lu Ya said, "Demon Master, tell me everything about the North Sea matter in detail."

Kunpeng nodded.

Then Kunpeng recounted Nuwa Sage's arrangements in the North Sea.

Killing intent filled Lu Ya's face. "Demon Master, who was that man in the white mask?"

Kunpeng shook his head. "Your Highness the Tenth Prince, I do not know who he was."

Lu Ya said in surprise, "How is that possible? A white mask can conceal one's face—"

"But it cannot block the probing of one's Primordial Spirit, nor can it conceal a person's origin aura!"

Kunpeng said, "Your Highness the Tenth Prince, that is precisely what I cannot understand."

"That man in the white mask wore a white mask. When probed with the Primordial Spirit, there was only emptiness; his appearance could not be seen at all."

"Even his origin aura was concealed by that white mask."

"What? Such a terrifying yet miraculous mask exists?" Bai Ze and the other Demon Sages exclaimed in shock!

Lu Ya said, "Demon Master, you fought the man in the white mask. Could you tell whether this expert resembled any expert from the Primordial World?"

Kunpeng said gravely, "Your Highness the Tenth Prince, based on my battle with him—"

"The white-masked man's physical body was extraordinarily terrifying, and the divine abilities he used were ones I had never seen before."

"The strength of his physical body was simply more terrifying than that of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the Witch Race—the Demon Race's former mortal enemies."

Lu Ya and the six Demon Sages drew sharp breaths in shock. "What???"

"In the Primordial World, is there actually a physical body more terrifying than those of the Twelve Ancestral Witches?"

"What race could such an expert possibly belong to?"

For a time, Lu Ya, Bai Ze, Fei Lian, Ji Meng, Ying Zhao, and Shang Yang were shaken to the core!

After a moment, Lu Ya looked at Demon Master Kunpeng and said, "Demon Master, weren't you in the North Sea?"

"How did you end up at Myriad Demon Mountain on the North Kuru Continent???"

Demon Master Kunpeng said, "Tenth Prince, Nuwa Sage sent me to Myriad Demon Mountain on the North Kuru Continent."

"Tenth Prince, you must know about the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation as well, right?"

Lu Ya said, "I know!"

"Yuanshi Tianzun came to my cave abode and told me that the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation had already begun."

"Yuanshi Tianzun asked me to leave the mountain and aid the Great Zhou Dynasty in its grand campaign against Shang!"

"I agreed to Yuanshi Tianzun's request!"

Demon Master Kunpeng said, "Tenth Prince, regarding Nine Infants' death, Nuwa Sage fears that powerful experts may make a move against the Demon Race's other experts."

"Thus, Nuwa Sage specifically instructed me to come to the North Kuru Continent and tell Bai Ze and the other five Demon Sages that they must be careful."

"With the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation underway, anything is possible!"

Lu Ya nodded. "That's right!"

Demon Master Kunpeng said, "Tenth Prince, have you come to the North Kuru Continent intending to have the Demon Race participate in the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation?"

The five Demon Sages—Bai Ze, Fei Lian, Ying Zhao, Ji Meng, and Shang Yang—all looked at Lu Ya.

Lu Ya shook his head. "No!"

"The Demon Race cannot participate in the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation. Nor can the Demon Race withstand any more losses."

Demon Master Kunpeng said, "Tenth Prince, then why are you participating in the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation?"

"I suspect that the terror of this Investiture of the Gods Tribulation will be no weaker than the Witch-Demon Tribulation."

Lu Ya asked in puzzlement, "What makes you say that?"

Demon Master Kunpeng said, "Tenth Prince, isn't Nine Infants' death enough to explain it?"

Lu Ya shook his head. "It's different."

"This time, Hongjun is the one who initiated the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation."

"The Supreme Purity Sage, Yuanshi Tianzun, Lady Nuwa, Daoist Jieyin, and Daoist Zhunti—the five Heavenly Dao sages—stand on Hongjun's side."

"As for the Great Shang Dynasty's side, it only has the experts of the Interception Sect!"

"Tell me, how could Hongjun's side possibly lose the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation?"

Lu Ya continued, "Moreover, after enduring the Witch-Demon Tribulation, the Demon Race's experts have accumulated boundless resentment and Sha Qi."

"The Demon Race's experts bear boundless karmic sin."

"If the karmic sin upon the Demon Race is not eradicated in the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, it will be difficult for the Demon Race's experts to advance their cultivation realms any further!"

"Therefore, for the sake of the Demon Race, I must take part in the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation and eliminate the karmic sin we bear!"

At once, Demon Master Kunpeng and the others looked at Lu Ya, deeply moved.
