An atmosphere of impending storm permeated the entire Demon-Suppressing City.
Within the Demon-Suppressing City, the teleportation arrays in all directions lit up one after another.
Many cultivators who lacked sufficient strength chose to leave at this cusp of a storm.
"Senior brother, are we really leaving?"
In front of a teleportation array, Nangong Yaoyue watched the hurried cultivators of Demon-Suppressing City, then turned to look at the teleportation array in front of them, her eyes filled with a hint of resentment.
These four teleportation arrays are rarely used.
Because each use is extremely costly, it is not as cheap as the Realm Flying Boat.
The cost of activating a teleportation array once is enough for ten rides on the interdimensional flying boat!
but...
"In times of emergency, we must act expediently," Mo Hui said. "This is our teacher's order. The Seven-Mark Demon has fallen, but Demon-Suppressing City will not be safer; on the contrary, it will become even more dangerous."
"This place, rife with turmoil, is no longer suitable for training. Given your strength, it would be best if you didn't linger here."
As Mo Hui spoke, he handed the Spirit Stone from his Storage Bag to the administrator of the teleportation array.
His eyes were dark.
Fortunately, I brought enough Spirit Stone to activate the teleportation array this time; otherwise, I would have been in serious trouble.
Although the Realm Spaceships are cheap, there are precedents of them being sunk.
He was leading all the new disciples recruited by True Martial Holy Heaven in the past two years; he absolutely could not afford to lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of small gains.
As for him, he also needed to rush back to report to his teacher about everything that had happened here.
After hearing Mo Hui's explanation, Nangong Yaoyue and the other person fell silent.
Although they had only been here for a few days, and had not left the Demon-Suppressing City, nor gone to the Demon Battlefield.
However, it has also broadened my horizons considerably.
This is Demon-Suppressing City.
It gathered the most Thearch Realm experts and powerful figures in the Holy Heaven, as well as various Rogue Cultivator and sect experts.
Normally, even within the Holy Heaven, those at the Thearch Realm are a rare sight.
However, here, everyone is at the Thearch Realm, and even Heavenly Venerable are just juniors.
Such prosperity, such flourishing...
Going back like this would truly leave one feeling resentful.
However, Nangong Yaoyue and Su Ditian were well aware that they alone could not sway Mo Hui's decision.
Moreover, they dared not disobey the Holy Heaven's arrangements.
Therefore, no matter how much they missed the scenery of Demon-Suppressing City, they still had no choice but to follow Mo Hui and the other True Martial Holy Heaven students into the teleportation array to leave.
When some people leave, others naturally arrive.
This Demon-Suppressing City, located near the Demon Battlefield, is a transit point for Human Race cultivators, so naturally, it's always a place where people come and go.
After the news of the Soul-Devouring Demon-Refining Flower being killed spread, many powerful figures, besides those from the Primordial Holy Heaven, became very interested in it. While the weaker students left, they quietly arrived at this place.
Moreover, along with them came the top-ranked prodigies among the nine Holy Heaven.
Meanwhile, within the residence of the Great Void Holy Heaven.
"Interesting. This Demon-Suppressing City has been quite interesting lately."
Two men and one woman sat around a table, drinking and making merry, with faint smiles on their faces.
They sat on the second floor of the Great Void Holy Heaven's residence. From their position, they could easily see the passersby below, which added another layer of interest to their eyes.
The woman was beautiful, with a charming smile and captivating eyes.
She smiled sweetly and said, "Putting aside everything else, just consider this: the Ten Great Saint Heavens extending olive branches to the same person—this hasn't happened in many years. The last time, I remember, was it that monstrous talent from the Immortal-Burying Holy Heaven? Tsk tsk."
Do you think another Jiang Chengzun might emerge from this Demon-Suppressing City?
The other man had striking features, with a pair of fox-like eyes that hinted at something unfathomable. His ambiguous smile made it even more difficult to discern his true intentions.
He took a sip of tea, but didn't touch the spirit wine on the table. He simply sighed softly.
"Whether it is or not, a test will tell."
The man who spoke first nodded in agreement, chuckling as he said, "Becoming the second Jiang Chengzun won't be that easy."
"I've heard that her Sword Dao talent and skill are quite good, but although she has some talent, her temper is really too arrogant."
"That's true. If you want to learn from Jiang Chengzun, you'd better see if you have his skills."
After all, in the past few hundred years, apart from Qu Youmeng, only one other person has ever refused the Ten Great Saint Heavens.
That person was Jiang Chengzun.
He is also widely recognized as the most terrifying prodigy in the entire Holy Heaven Domain over the past few hundred years.
Back then, when Jiang Chengzun suddenly appeared, Ten Great Saint Heavens were impressed by his Sword Dao talent. However, after the Holy Heaven extended olive branches, they were met with Jiang Chengzun's rejection.
In the end, it was the old dean of the Immortal-Burying Holy Heaven who personally stepped forward and recruited him into the Immortal-Burying Holy Heaven.
No one knows what the Immortal-Burying Holy Heaven promised.
However, everyone can see that after Jiang Chengzun joined the Immortal-Burying Holy Heaven, its status has risen steadily. With just him, no one in the entire Holy Heaven Domain dares to underestimate the Immortal-Burying Holy Heaven.
Meanwhile, those cultivators of his generation, or even those who were considered juniors compared to him, fared much worse.
Especially their generation.
It can be said that he was completely overwhelmed by Jiang Chengzun.
After he was born, they never raised their heads again!
Forget about first or second place; wherever Jiang Chengzun is, almost everyone tacitly agrees to compete for second place!
Nobody dares to compete for first place!
so...
The man in the yellow robe murmured, "I don't want to see yet another Jiang Chengzun appear in the Holy Heaven Domain..."
The other two exchanged a glance, remaining silent, but their eyes revealed their agreement with what was said.
The spiritual fruits on the table were replaced, and another pot of spiritual tea was poured.
There were fewer people outside, and the sun was slowly rising.
Only now was the long silence broken.
The fox-eyed man said softly, "Who will make a move?"
The man in yellow who spoke first reached up and brushed the hair from his forehead.
A smile, tinged with disdain yet brimming with arrogance, played on his lips.
"Since she cultivates the Sword Dao, then I shall take her place."
"However, my cultivation has already reached the Thearch Realm. If I were to fight with this level of cultivation, even if I won, it would be an unfair victory, and I would only invite ridicule."
The woman beside her spoke up, "I heard that her cultivation level is only at the Emperor Realm."
The man chuckled.
"So what? She's only at the Emperor Realm, so I'll just suppress my cultivation to the Emperor Realm too. That way, if we only compete in Sword Dao cultivation, it won't be me bullying her!"
"Hmph... What Sword Dao prodigy? Jiang Chengzun second to none! Let me, Meng Tianya, take her on!"
