Changes in Demonic Qi
As he plummeted down the mountain, he roared and soared into the sky, unleashing his Divine Soul power, ready to strike again.
Gongsun Sui said softly, "Alright, Qiyang, come back now."
Qiyang clenched his fists, snorted angrily, and withdrew his hand, his face turning ashen.
As the saying goes, one shouldn't hit someone in the face, even Cultivator. At this moment, his cheeks were swollen and red, clearly the result of Gu's deliberate actions during this battle.
But Gongsun Sui had already spoken, and he couldn't disobey. He raised his hand to recall the Soul Summoning Banner and reluctantly retreated.
Gongsun Sui's eyes flickered. "Since you say you need to consider it, then I will give you time to think it over. I only hope that you will prioritize the safety of the Human Race."
Separated by Cloudmist, Gu Yuanqing coldly observed the two people outside.
Gongsun Sui turned around and said, "Let's go!"
As he fled into the light, Qiyang felt resentful. As Attendant of the Heavenly Human Sacred Hall, even Cultivator at the Void Heaven Realm would treat him with respect. He had never suffered such humiliation before.
"Sir, are we just going to let this go like this?"
Gongsun Sui said calmly, "His cultivation level is somewhat unexpected. He is Great Cultivator of the Void Heaven Realm. If that were all, there would be no need to worry. However, with such strength combined with the Array Formation in the Mountain, even I am not confident."
Moreover, this place is, after all, the territory of the Iron Eater Beast clan. Although it's not against the rules for the Void Heaven Realm to enter, if the Motion and Stillness is too great, they might very well intervene.
Within the shimmering light, Qiyang touched his cheek and said, "But if this news gets out, it might damage the prestige of our Heavenly Human Sacred Hall. If everyone were like him..."
Gongsun Sui, "Alright, let's leave it at that for now. We still have a lot to do. I will report this to the Heavenly King and then make a decision."
One should not push a Void Heaven Realm Array Formation Master too hard, lest he end up siding with the Demon Race, which would be a greater loss than gain.
Moreover, if someone is not truly dedicated to serving the Human Race, how could one trust them to be placed in a crucial position during a major war? If they were to be sabotaged, the harm would be far greater than simply losing one person.
Qiyang's expression darkened. So, he was the one who went up there and got slapped twice? However, in an instant, he buried his feelings of the past years in his heart, put on a smile, and transmitted his voice. "You are very considerate, sir. So, where do we go?"
Gongsun Sui, "This is the territory of the Iron-Eating Tribe. It is said that there is a Lanting City, which is a city of our Human Race. Since we are here, we might as well take a look."
Watching the two disappear into the distance, Gu Yuanqing frowned slightly. He had activated the Heavenly Fishing Empowerment and deliberately used the Way of Space, which seemed to have indeed intimidated the two. However, this matter was unlikely to be resolved so easily.
"What exactly is the Heavenly Human Sacred Hall trying to do?"
Gu Yuanqing was somewhat puzzled. Although it was just a few words, Gu Yuanqing could tell that this war Human Race and Demon Race was not a conflict between them.
But if the goal is to fight the Demon Cave or the Demon Abyss, why the need for such secrecy?
Judging from the fact that Divine General like Gongsun Sui is still out there, this battle is still in the preparation stage.
In the heart of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.
Demonic Dragon Mountain Range.
On the five mountain peaks, five hundred-foot- Heavenly Human Divine Soul manifested.
A long black dragon coiled among the clouds, its body appearing and disappearing, its scales shimmering with a mysterious luster, its neck covered in mane, and its blood-red eyes cold and indifferent, as if the whole world lay beneath it.
A beautiful woman sat reclining on a White Jade couch, six Fox Tail swaying behind her, her allure unparalleled.
A giant ape sat lazily atop the mountain peak, its expression arrogant and wild.
On the other side, atop a massive throne, stood a burly man with a tiger's head and a human body, exuding unparalleled majesty and Divine Eye.
On the last side, atop the mountain, raging demonic Demonic Flame erupted, Flame into a throne. A young girl, chin in hand, seemed quite curious as she surveyed her surroundings.
"Now that everyone has arrived, the gathering of the Demon Race shall officially begin."
"Ao Guang, just say what you have to say. We Demon Race shouldn't spout those empty platitudes like Human Race."
"Tiger Lord, please do not be hasty. I have summoned everyone here on the orders of the Ancestor, and there are some things that need to be made clear."
"Your Demon King?"
Upon hearing this, the other four Great Demon present immediately tensed up. If it were Ao Guang's summons, they wouldn't take it seriously at all, but if it concerned the Dragon Demon Ancestor, they had to be cautious.
The enormous dragon head nodded slightly. "Yesterday, the Ancestor awoke briefly from his slumber and sent me a message, saying that a great upheaval is about to occur in this world, and that we should prepare ourselves."
"What has happened?" The giant ape sat up straight.
"It wasn't explicitly stated, but it's likely that the Human Race rang the Heavenly King Bell because of this matter."
The beautiful Fox Demon spirit woman chuckled, "I thought the Human Race was still Deathlessness and wanted to wage war against my Demon Race race again."
"Hmph, how dare they! If it weren't for the existence of the Demon Cave, we would have destroyed it long ago!"
"Since the Tiger Lord is so confident, then the Tiger Race will lead the charge in this Human-Demon War."
"Hmph, if you dare to swear Divine Soul Oath that you will never fight against the Tiger Race, what's wrong with that?"
The giant ape said coldly, "Three thousand years ago, I fought against the Human Race. If you hadn't broken the Alliance Pact without authorization, the Human Race would have been wiped out long ago."
Tiger Lord sneered, "You wiped out the Human Race, and now you Demon Ape Demon Cave?"
"Alright, let's get down to business." Ao Guang had a headache. With the ancestor asleep, none of these Great Demon would submit to the Human Race. If the human race could be united, the Dragon Demon Continent would not be in the current state of Four Great Powers standing in a tripartite balance.
"This matter is of great importance, and may even concern the very foundation of our Demon Race. We must not be careless. Everyone should act with caution and investigate the Human Race's schemes as soon as possible."
The Heavenly Human Sacred Hall is located in the central part of the eastern side of the Dragon Demon Continent.
It was surrounded by Four Great Dynasties.
The Sacred Mountain soars into the clouds, with the Sacred Hall located at its very top.
Ji Xian entered the main hall, clasped his hands in greeting, and bowed slightly. "Hall Master."
An old man in Purple Robe looked up at the center of the Sacred Hall, where a Transparent Orb about ten feet in diameter floated, its light and shadow shifting, as if revealing Heavenly Secrets within.
The old man turned around and smiled, "King Ji is back. Did you gain anything from this trip?"
Ji Xian said with a wry smile, "None of the Six Neutral Demon Races are willing to form an alliance with our Human Race, especially the Iron-Eating Tribe, who almost attacked us."
The Purple Robe elder smiled and said, "That's normal, as long as they don't become our enemies."
"Hall Master, when will our Heavenly Human Hall announce the start of this great war? This time, the Heavenly King Bell was rung, but the reason was not explained. Even the Four Great Dynasties have made excuses, and the war preparations have not been fully prepared for a long time. If this continues, the preparations for war will be delayed again and again, and I'm afraid we will miss the opportunity to fight. Even the Divine General in the Palace have quite a few complaints."
The Purple Robe elder fell silent for a moment before sighing, "It's not the right time yet. Revealing everything now will only invite criticism. The increase in Demonic Qi in this region is not yet obvious. If people hear about it, they will either think that our Heavenly Human Sacred Hall Worrying Needlessly, or they will think that we have other plans. Moreover, if the Demon Race knows about this, they may not allow us to act as we please."
"But if we remain silent, suspicion will spread. Over the past thousand years, the prestige of the Heavenly Human Sacred Hall has declined again and again. There are even rumors that the Heavenly Human Hall is using this as a means to consolidate power. The Four Great Dynasties are very wary of our Heavenly Human Hall, and the various sects are only superficially friendly. Recently, the various races have been on guard, and the friction with our Human Race has intensified. I'm afraid that before we can even complete our preparations, war with the various races will have already broken out."
