Taicang True Person, A Perilous Situation

A beautiful woman standing next to the Taicang True Person glanced at the two of them, then looked at Chen Nianzhi and said...

"This must be the renowned sword immortal of the Chu Kingdom, Fellow Daoist Chen?"

"Exactly."

Jiang Linglong smiled and said, then turned to Chen Nianzhi, "This is Taiqing True Person from the Azuregreen Immortal Sect."

"I've met the True Person."

Although cultivators usually keep to themselves, Chen Nianzhi's potential and strength are extraordinary, and with his relationship with Jiang Linglong, even these Golden Core realm cultivators are willing to treat him as an equal.

After exchanging greetings, Jiang Linglong looked towards the Demon Cave and said with a solemn expression.

"How's the situation?"

"Brother Taicang brought the Azuregreen Ancient Disc and the Heavenly Fire Demon-Refining Array, and I have already brought the Firmament Immortal Sword."

"Now, not even a fly can get out of this Demon Cave."

Sect Leader Zhang stroked his beard, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

Chen Nianzhi nodded. The Firmament Immortal Sword, Demon-Refining Supreme Treasure, naturally needed no further explanation.

The Azuregreen Ancient Disc is a Tier 5 array plate. This plate was once a demon-refining array plate, but it was severely damaged in the Abyssal Demon Calamity more than three hundred years ago, and its grade has now fallen to the level of Quasi-Tier 5.

However, the combined power of this Azuregreen Formation Plate and the Heavenly Fire Demon-Refining Array is still enough to suppress and kill Devil Cultivator in the late Golden Core stage stage.

At this moment, the Taicang True Person also came over. He was a thin old man with an air of otherworldly wisdom.

He glanced at Jiang Linglong and couldn't help but ask, "Not only that Senior Vast-Heaven Mirror, but have you also been invited?"

"Hmm." Jiang Linglong nodded and said calmly, "I invited a senior to come, but the power of the Vast-Heaven Mirror has not been fully restored, so it will not be used unless it is absolutely necessary."

That's enough.

Taicang True Person nodded. Among the five Golden Core realm Ancestors present, Sect Leader Zhang was at the late Golden Core stage, and Taicang True Person also had a cultivation level of the sixth Golden Core tier.

With two people working together, plus the Firmament Sword, they should be able to handle most situations. Asking for the Vast-Heaven Mirror is just to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

After all, that Demon Cave is Demonic Cultivator Forbidden Ground. Even three or five ordinary Golden Core realm cultivators might not come out alive after entering, let alone quell the Devil Cultivator.

"We still need to be cautious."

Zhang True Person said with a solemn expression, "That Demon Cave has extremely deep resources and possesses methods capable of countering Demon-Refining Supreme Treasure; otherwise, it would have been wiped out by us long ago."

"Five hundred years ago, even my master, wielding the Firmament Immortal Sword, stormed into it, but could only escape in a sorry state."

Everyone nodded in agreement, a sense of gravity crossing their hearts.

The group said no more and continued to wait for the arrival of the Purple Abyss Sect.

After waiting for ten days, and seeing that Yan Ziji still hadn't arrived, Elder Lin of the Firmament Sword Sect couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with the two fellow Daoists from the Purple Abyss Sect today? Why haven't they come yet?"

As the two were talking, several streaks of light flew over from the horizon.

The newcomer was Lingji Fairy. She flew over with more than twenty Purple Mansion cultivators and then came to their side.

Jiang Linglong's eyes flickered slightly, and she couldn't help but ask, "Sister Ling Ji, why didn't Fellow Zi Ji come today?"

"That's what I was just about to say."

Lingji Fairy took a breath, then said with a solemn expression, "That demonic ape on Demon Ape Mountain has become possessed."

"What?"

Everyone's expression changed in shock, and they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Demon Ape Mountain is now the territory of the Demon Race, but a thousand years ago, Demon Ape Mountain, like Demon Cave, was Demonic Cultivator Forbidden Ground.

Back then, the Chu Kingdom Cultivation World mobilized the entire nation's resources to annihilate Demon Ape Mountain in a single battle. However, a master who cultivated the Pure Yang Dao Arts used his Divine Ability to refine Demon Ape Mountain, turning it into a Calamity Ruins.

The Purple Abyss Sect has a history of over 800 years. Eight hundred years ago, the territory of the Purple Abyss Sect was dominated by the Purple Sun Sect. The Purple Sun Sect cultivated Pure Yang Dao Arts, and its territory even included the territory of the Demon Ape Mountain.

The master there resides in the Spirit Vein of Demon Ape Mountain, using Pure Yang Dao Arts to continuously refine the Demon Spring, aiming to transform it into a Spirit Mountain.

However, later, the Azure Flood Dragon Demon Emperor broke through to the late Nascent Soul, destroyed the Purple Sun Sect in one battle, and occupied this Spirit Mountain of the Human Race, causing the Demon Spring to fail halfway through its refinement.

The Spirit Vein of Demon Ape Mountain were later handed over to the Azure Flood Dragon Demon Emperor Demon Ape Clan.

The Purple Abyss Sect inherited part of the Daoist tradition of the Purple Sun Sect and has been fighting against the Demon Ape Mountain ever since.

At this moment, Lingji Fairy's expression turned solemn, and she said with a grave look, "That Demon Ape Demon King has become possessed by the power of the Demon Spring. After becoming possessed, his strength has greatly increased, and he has broken through to the late Golden Core stage."

"To guard against the Demon Ape Demon King, Sister Zi Ji took the Purple Abyss Furnace to the borderlands."

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances, their expressions turning quite grim.

The Demon Yuan Demon King has broken through to the late Golden Core stage, and what's even more terrifying is that he will restore Demon Ape Mountain to its former status as a Demonic Cultivator Forbidden Ground, which is a huge problem for the Chu Kingdom.

Taiqing True Person, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but say, "The Demon King under his command has become demonized. Doesn't the Azure Flood Dragon Demon Emperor care?"

"Demons and monsters are all in cahoots and are the ancestral enemies of my Human Race. In the eyes of the Azure Dragon Demon King, as long as they do not threaten him and continue to obey his orders, there is no difference between them."

"Moreover, after the Demon Ape Demon King becomes demonized, he is no longer a pure Demon Race. Instead, he can avoid the contract between the Azure Flood Dragon Demon Emperor and the Ji Clan and attack our Chu Kingdom without having to wait for the hundred-year agreement."

Zhang True Person has lived for over eight hundred years and understands the inside story deeply.

He sighed, glanced at everyone, and said, "Without the Purple Abyss Furnace, should we still fight this battle?"

Everyone fell silent for a moment. The Purple Abyss Divine Flame of the Purple Abyss Furnace was the nemesis of demons and monsters, and also the main force in attacking the Demon Cave.

The war hasn't even started yet, and the most crucial treasure is already unusable, which is a bad start and extremely bad news.

Seeing that the others hesitated, the Taicang True Person stood up and said, "Everyone, if we do not take action against the Demon Cave now, it will surely become a great disaster in the future."

"The Beast Turmoil will erupt in a decade or so. If we cannot slay one or two of these demons, we may be in big trouble."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly.

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, the Taicang True Person continued in one go, "Now that the Demon Cave has gained another Golden Core realm, its strength has increased significantly."

"Our Azuregreen Immortal Sect is already facing a pincer attack from the Black Eagle Demon King and the Demon Cave, and I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out."

The group nodded in agreement. Black Eagle Ridge had two more Demon King, and the Demon Cave even had a late Golden Core stage Old Devil.

However, the Taicang True Person is only at the sixth Golden Core tier, and the other two Golden Core realm from the Azuregreen Immortal Sect are only at the early Golden Core stage. Their strength is probably not enough to stop them.

When the two forbidden lands of demons run rampant, even the Firmament Sword Sect will likely find it difficult to deal with them.

Now, the Purple Abyss Sect will face a new Demonic Cultivator Forbidden Ground, and the Heavenly Ruins Alliance will also have to face the combined attack of Heavenly Python Lake and Earth Lion Ridge.

This situation is probably very bad; if we are not careful, the Chu Kingdom Cultivation World will suffer an unprecedented blow.

Thinking of this, everyone exchanged glances, Zhang True Person made up his mind.

"Even if it comes at a price, we will completely wipe out the Demon Cave."

"Even if we can't do that, we must still kill one or two Golden Core realm Old Devil."
