The Demon Lord's Terrifying Scheme

Azure Cloud Master looked at Zhang Yang with a serious expression and asked, "Has something serious happened?"

If something serious hadn't happened, this guy wouldn't have asked something like "I'm afraid of dying."

Zhang Yang sat down cross-legged in front of Azure Cloud Master: "Good news and bad news, Master, which would you like to hear first?"

"Just tell me some good news first, you scared me just now!" Azure Cloud Master glanced at Zhang Yang sideways.

Zhang Yang took out the Immortal-Refining Cauldron and said, "Good news! The Immortal-Refining Cauldron has the potential to become the 'King of Immortals,' that is, King-Grade Immortal Artifact, and it may even become Emperor-Grade Immortal Artifact!"

I dare not even think about what could be higher.

"Huh?" Azure Cloud Master was dumbfounded. "What kind of Immortal Artifact?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "To put it simply, the other Immortal Artifact of our Azure Cloud Sect are just ministers, but this Immortal-Refining Cauldron has the potential to become a prince, or even an emperor!"

"What is all this?" Azure Cloud Master was even more confused.

He had absolutely no idea about the realms beyond the Immortal Dao, so he was naturally completely bewildered.

Then, Zhang Yang began to explain the realms beyond the path of Immortal Dao.

Naturally, the realms of the Demon Dao, the Ghost Dao, and the Monster Dao were all explained.

Azure Cloud Master instantly looked at his own Dao Domain, remained silent for a long time, and then murmured to himself, "So, I still have such a long way to go!"

He has only simulated Demon Lord at the Tribulation Realm. In the future, there will be Demon King, Demon Sovereign, Demon Emperor... If this continues to be suppressed, his path will have only just begun!

Then, Azure Cloud Master looked at the Immortal-Refining Cauldron, and was also shocked.

This thing has such a high starting price!

It was all worth it for them to refine an entire Great Dao, and with hundreds of Black-Robed Man inside, they actually have a chance to become kings and emperors!

"What's the bad news?" Azure Cloud Master asked, frowning.

What bad news could possibly make someone not happy about obtaining a King-Grade Immortal Artifact?

"Those Demon Lord were sent down by the Demon Venerable. The Demon Venerable is the Demon Emperor!" Zhang Yang said with a wry smile.

Azure Cloud Master was instantly stunned.

After a long pause, he gave a helpless, bitter smile, "This is really bad news!"

Even if he didn't know the Demon Emperor's strength, he could guess how terrifying the Demon Emperor was.

At this moment, he truly felt that it was incredibly fortunate that the Azure Cloud Sect hadn't been destroyed a thousand years ago!

Upon realizing that the Demon Venerable would send over Demon Lord, Azure Cloud Master finally understood why Zhang Yang had that expression.

There's no doubt that something personally orchestrated by such a terrifying Demon Lord will cause utter chaos, even if it ultimately fails.

Considering the vision Yi Lin foretold not long ago, the world is truly about to be turned upside down...

"The Immortal Cultivation Realm is the Immortal Cultivation Realm of Immortal Dao!" Zhang Yang suddenly said. "The Demon Emperor is stirring up trouble in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, so the Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Dao should also take action, right?"

Azure Cloud Master nodded slightly. He also felt that the powerful figures of the Immortal Dao would not simply stand by and watch the Demon Venerable reach out without taking any action.

At this moment, they could understand why the Demon Venerable had only sent over some Demon Lord.

It seems there must be other constraints behind this.

"There are still Demon Race in the Ten Thousand Mountains. Does their Monster Emperor care?" Zhang Yang's mind started working. "If the Monster Emperor gets involved, then the problem won't be so serious."

Because if it were only the Demon Emperor plotting, it would be a complete crushing defeat, with no chance of resistance whatsoever.

At that time, all Zhang Yang needs to do is drop his disguise and side with the Demon Venerable.

However, now that even the Immortal Emperor and the Monster Emperor might get involved... he can't let go of this disguise!

Moreover, he wore four layers of vests.

Celestial, Demon, Monster and Ghost!

When the time comes, he'll wear whoever's strongest person's disguise!

Under his protection, the Azure Cloud Sect be safe.

Thinking about it this way, the Demon Venerable isn't so scary after all.

Zhang Yang frowned. At this moment, he wondered what Gudoer had meant by those words... Was he just trying to scare him?

Last time, Gudoer made him open the Nine Nether Demon Domain!

This time, they're using the Demon Emperor to scare him again... What exactly is Gudoer plotting?

He was now almost certain that this Demon Lord was secretly plotting something.

Although this Demon Lord might not actually harm him, the sense of "planning" behind it all is too strong!

Don't fall for it!

He was speechless. This Demon Lord had silently carved a knife into his heart. How ruthless!

"Master, we must be cautious about the Creation Spirit Pool!" Zhang Yang's expression turned serious. "This matter is probably not as simple as we think!"

"A Demon Emperor personally getting involved in this scheme—this matter could really cause a huge mess."

"We won't participate!" Azure Cloud Master said decisively. "Once the twenty-year agreement is up, we'll let those Demon Lord leave, and none of us will go to the Prodigy Battlefield!"

That place will definitely become the eye of the storm.

In that case, staying away from the eye of the storm is the safest option for them.

Zhang Yang pondered for a moment before saying, "Whether or not to participate depends on how the situation changes; we can't make a decision now."

If it's our turn to participate, then we will.

If the situation prevents us from participating, then we won't go!

Be realistic!

Azure Cloud Master nodded, but his heart was heavy.

In reality, no one can face this situation without feeling heavy-hearted.

Of course, life must go on as usual, and the path we must cultivate must be cultivated!

This even gave Azure Cloud Master a grander goal in mind: if he could also suppress the Demon Emperor, just how powerful would his Demon-Suppressing Great Dao become...?

Zhang Yang also temporarily put the matter of the Demon Emperor aside.

While the existence of the Demon Emperor is something to consider, it shouldn't be a constant concern, otherwise it's just self-inflicted fear.

He turned back to Hualingzi and asked, "Fifth Uncle, have you figured out what I asked you to research?"

"It's been figured out, it's actually not difficult!" Hualingzi raised his hand, and a rune flashed across the sky, emitting boundless light.

Hualingzi continued, "As long as you refine this rune into a unique Law Treasure, you can achieve the effect you desire."

Zhang Yang was very excited and immediately took the talisman to Qingxu, asking Qingxu to combine the talisman with the magic Law Treasure.

He wants to create a high-powered light bulb for Immortal Cultivation, thereby achieving Azure Cloud City's goal of becoming a "City That Never Sleeps".

Qingxu took the talisman and immediately went to implement it.

Having already Primordial Spirit Realm, Qingxu could refine Law Treasure much faster than before.

As Zhang Yang requested, a special light bulb appeared.

Zhang Yang immediately stuffed a Spirit Stone into the light bulb, and after activating the "Law Treasure," the entire room instantly became as bright as day.

"I need your help to refine a few hundred of these for me." Zhang Yang patted Qingxu on the shoulder. "I'll go and inform Junior Brother Jiang to set up lampposts in Azure Cloud City. In a few days, Azure Cloud City That Never Sleeps will open!"

Qingxu reluctantly accepted the task and began refining the "light bulb".

Fortunately, Zhang Yang has now given him several Azure Cloud Sect disciples who are skilled in weapon crafting. With a few subordinates helping him, the progress is much faster than if he were crafting alone.

After receiving Zhang Yang's orders, Jiang Zhiqiu began installing lampposts on the main roads of the six districts of Azure Cloud City, as well as on some busy streets.

While Zhang Yang was busy, Yi Lin arrived in Azure Cloud City again, bringing with her a public statement announcing an alliance between Heavenly Heart Island and the Azure Cloud Sect.

When the announcement from Heavenly Heart Island was issued in the name of Lady Heavenly Heart, all the spies from the other sects in Azure Cloud City were shocked.

Another traitor?

But what shocked them even more was yet to come.

Sea-Heaven Pavilion subsequently issued an announcement of an alliance with the Azure Cloud Sect, Langya Sacred Land, and Heavenly Heart Island!

Now there are two more traitors!

What's even more frightening is that the Azure Cloud Sect has actually Sect Alliance!

The current situation in the world is four against six!

Countless spies from major sects relayed the information back with trepidation.

They felt that the world was about to change!
