Daoist Ru Yi snorted, “My brother has his own plans.”
After that, he contemplated, “Which Great Sage sent the three of you here? Daoist Fuluo, I remember that your father was the general of the war against the Western Buddhist Lands. He shouldn’t have any spare attention to be used here. Could it be, he’s already returned?”
“The war has yet to come to an end. Naturally, my father hasn’t returned.” Fuluo Zi smiled slightly, “However, the Nine-headed Great Sage would take action this time.”
Daoist Ru Yi frowned slightly, “The Nine-headed Great Sage came out of seclusion?”
Fuluo Zi nodded, “That’s right.”
The White Deer Demon and the Dragon King Huanchen both looked at each other with a complex gaze. There were hints of happiness and worries within.
“If the Nine-headed Great Sage came out of seclusion, then we would have a higher chance of succeeding,” said Daoist Ru Yi in a plain manner as his frowned brows relaxed very quickly.
Fuluo Zi said, “Naturally. With how the situation currently is, the few Daoist Heavenly Lord would become more carefree. Who knows if someone might attack us. The more Great Sages we have on our side, the higher our chances of success.”
“Although I don’t intend on acting recklessly, it would be bad the longer the Pill Hall is in someone else’s possession for too long. Without mentioning the refinement over the Pill Hall’s control being deeper and deeper, even the treasured spiritual medicines and spiritual pills originally stored within the Pill Hall would be consumed. We will be forced into a tight situation.”
Fu Luozi sighed, “According to the calculation of time for the Dao universe, more than twenty years had passed, right? It’s already been a long time. The longer we drag, the lesser our spoils of war.”
The Profound Rime Fairy said, “That’s right. The longer we delay, the more changes would occur. It’s better to act earlier than later.”
“Although the war between the heretics had involved our Demon Race and the Western Pure Lands within, the two heretics factions would be unable to pay much attention for this reason alone. As such, we would have fewer opponents, and the situation wouldn’t be such a mess.”
She said solemnly, “In contrast, don’t forget about the Western Buddhist Lands. Just like us, they have some remaining forces as well.”
“What the fairy said is true. We aren’t planning to create another battlefield, fighting against the Western Buddhist Lands,” said Fuluo Zi. “This was precisely why we came here.”
Daoist Ru Yi asked, “What plans do you have, Daoist Fuluo?”
The White Deer Demon beside said, “Previously, Daoist Fuluo had mentioned the Jade Clear successor who had control over the Pill Hall – Yan Zhaoge. He is related to the Prime Clear lineage’s successors, who are currently within the Dao universe’s Roving Jade Heavens.”
Daoist Ru Yi and the Dragon King Huanchen instantly understood, “You plan to invade the Roving Jade Heavens to lure out Yan Zhaoge and the Pill Hall?”
“Exactly.” Fu Luozi explained. “Don’t target the entire Roving Jade Heavens. You have to target a few people related to the Jade Clear lineage’s successor.”
“If our actions caught the attention of the Incongruence Divine Mother, we have the Nine-headed Great Sage and the Great Sage who Pacifies Heavens to deal with her.”
Daoist Ru Yi started plotting in his mind.
The Dragon King Huanchen said slowly, “If we want to lure the Pill Hall out of the void’s outskirts, we will have to give them enough time to arrive here. The longer we drag on, the higher the chances of the Western Buddhist Lands reacting to the situation, which would result in them deploying troops over here.”
Fuluo Zi chuckled and looked at Daoist Hundred Eyes, “So, we shouldn’t expose ourselves first, especially Daoist White Deer and Daoist Ru Yi. We’ll let Daoist Hundred Eyes take the lead, while Daoist Huanchen will use the reasoning to assist him.”
Dragon King Huanchen looked at Daoist Hundred Eyes in surprise.
Although Daoist Hundred Eyes’ strength was outstanding, he was a wild brute demon in the past. Initially, he was subdued to become someone’s pet. Then, after transcending, he took over territory and proclaimed himself king.
The Dragon Race rarely came in contact.
Dragon King Huanchen was much more familiar with Fuluo Zi, the White Deer Demon, and the Profound Rime Fairy. He wasn’t even familiar with Daoist Ru Yi or the group’s remaining members, not to mention Daoist Hundred Eyes.
Daoist Hundred Eyes also ignored his gaze.
“Before the Great Calamity, when Daoist Hundred Eyes had yet to join the Astro Mountains Starry Sea, one of the disciples he took pride in had died by the hands of a Prime Clear successor,” said Fuluo Zi with a smile. “That person belonged to the Incongruence Divine Mother’s lineage.”
“Currently, within the Dao universe’s Roving Jade Heavens, the person with the highest seniority seems to be called Practitioner Ziteng? It seems like she’s the Daoist Hundred Eyes’ mortal enemy’s disciple.”
Fuluo Zi said, “Daoist Hundred Eyes would reclaim justice for his disciple. Of course, the Western Buddhist Lands would also think of this event’s possibilities luring out the Pill Hall. If they were to dispatch their troops over, I’ll think of ways to slow them down.”
After a short pause, he added, “I have some plans. Maybe we can try it later.”
The demons looked at each other and nodded, “If that’s the case, let us move.”
As he was speaking, a few rays of radiance flickered from afar. After the flicker got closer, the figure of numerous mighty and majestic men clad in armor appeared. The man in lead was just like the Dragon King Huanchen. He was of the True Dragon heritage, and dragon pulse was leaking out of his body.
After he arrived, without greeting the White Deer Demon and the others, he first reported to the Dragon King Huanchen, “Father, there was a commotion, and we located the whereabouts of the Prime Clear successor – Chen Xuanzong.”
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1342 - Hundred Eyed Demon Lord
“Stand up, and answer me.”Dragon King Huanchen spoke, “Chen Xuanzong?”
Fuluo Zi said, “Indeed, Jade Clear Chen Xuanzong is of the Jade Clear lineage. Although he isn’t as outstanding as the Suo Mingzhang, who had ascended to the Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm, he is still one of the few stronger people among the Three Clear Lineage after the Great Calamity.”
“Previously, when Yan Zhaoge and the others concealed themselves within the void’s outskirts along with the Pill Hall, this person had also left the Dao universe along with them.” After contemplating for a while, he continued, “The origins of his lineage date back to history, and he should be from the Master Amidst Cloud’s lineage.”
The White Deer Demon said, “There shouldn’t be any mistake. This person is related to Pill Hall. Previously, I found a trace of him contacting the successors of the Prime Clear lineage. Only, I wasn’t able to stop him.”
Dragon King Huanchen looked at his son and asked, “Where is this person currently at?”
The man in armor bowed and answered, “In the universe where the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace’s Pill Hall reappeared within the world.”
“
Oh?
” The Great Demons both looked at each other and muttered in their hearts, “This is getting interesting.”
Since they had already acquired the Pill Hall, why is he going back there?
“Could it be there are still some special mechanics for the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace’s Pill Hall? These Daoists must be facing some form of difficulties to refine and take control of it thoroughly. As such, they returned, in search of clues and solutions for it?” said the Dragon King Huanchen with hesitation.
Great Immortal Ru Yi looked at the White Deer Demon, “There should be such a possibility, right? After all, the Pill Hall’s original hall spirit harbored its intelligence. Such is an unprecedent
ed matter.”
“After the hall spirit had perished, only did it fall into the possession of the Three Clear successors. Some changes might have happened.”
The White Deer Demon pondered for a moment, and said, “I’m not sure. However, Daoist Ru Yi’s words make sense.
Great Immortal Ru Yi said, “If that’s the case, that means the entire Pill Hall might be hiding within that universe, while people are being dispatched all over to search for clues?”
All the demons said together, “It’s possible, but it’s hard to believe it as well.”
“How about this? Let’s send one of us to have a look. As for the others, we would continue to stick to the plan. How’s that?” said Fuluo Zi. “Of course, we would have to notify the Nine-headed Great Sage and the others first.”
“This is a great method. If the traces of the Pill Hall are located, quickly contact us. We shall abandon this place and go along with you.” The demons looked at each other, “But, who will go?”
Fuluo Zi said, “I won’t be going there, nor remain here. I shall be on guard against the Western Pure Lands’ monks. If they decided to come over, I have some small tricks that might hinder their path for a while. It would be more convenient for all of you to complete your tasks.”
“Daoist Fuluo, you’re truly admirable. We salute you.” All the demons present nodded.
“Daoist Hundred Eyes and Daoist Huanchen would be staying here to invade the Roving Jade Heavens,” explained Fuluo Zi. “Only when the two of you take action will our enemies relate it to the personal grudges of the past, and not the Pill Hall.”
It goes without saying that the White Deer Demon had fought for the Pill Hall.
Some Bull Demons accompanied him into the Pill Hall. As such, it wasn’t appropriate for Great Immortal Ru Yi to make an appearance. Otherwise, others would instantly think of the Pill Hall.
If Great Immortal Ru Yi appears too early, it would be effortless to relate him to the Great Sage who Pacifies Heavens, which would increase their enemies’ wariness.
As for the Profound Rime Fairy, she originated from the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace before the Great Calamity. If her foundations were exposed, relating her to the Pill Hall would be inevitable.
Without including Fuluo Zi within, it was only appropriate for the Hundred Eyed Demon Lord and Dragon King Huanchen to make an appearance and cause havoc within the Roving Jade Heavens.
“It’s better for you to remain here as well, Daoist Ru Yi.” As Fuluo Zi was talking, he looked towards the White Deer Demon and the Profound Rime Fairy, “The two of you, who would be willing to take the burden?”
Both the White Deer Demon and the Profound Rime Fairy were aware that Great Immortal Ru Yi was required to remain by the Dao universe.
Otherwise, if their clash against the Daoism worsened, it might cause the appearance of the Incongruence Divine Mother, or even various other Daoism Heavenly Lords. Other than the Nine-headed Great Sage, at the very least, the Great Sage who Pacifies Heavens would have to take action.
Even though they weren’t sure if the Great Sage who Pacifies Heavens would appear.
“I have been running around in that area for a long amount of time. Allow me to do so,” said the White Deer Demon automatically. “I’d have to leave the burden here to you guys.”
If he found a clue, he would notify the others. If he didn’t find anything, he would return to the Astro Mountains Starry Sea.
Here, the actual war was going to happen. If the Incongruence Divine Mother or the god of killing – Suo Mingzhang, were to appear, a fierce battle would happen, and their life would thus be filled with uncertainties.
None of the Demon Race experts present might know of how strong the Incongruence Divine Mother was.
However, the White Deer Demon was the one with the most in-depth understanding of Suo Mingzhang’s strength.
As such, although he was reluctant to leave this place after taking guard of this area for so long, the White Deer Demon still decided to back out from this place with the duty as an excuse.
He didn’t intend to cower away from the battle. Instead, it was merely distributing troops into two different paths. After everything ends, he would have his portion of spoils of war as well.
“Then we’ll have to burden you with that task,” said the Profound Rime Fairy with a faint smile.
The others also said, “We’ll have to burden you with it.”
The White Deer Demon instantly turned around and left, disappearing by the boundless void.
“Let us take action as well,” said Fuluo Zi. “Even if the news source from the White Deer Demon indicates that a huge problem would befall upon us, we still have many people secretly holding the line. It won’t be hard for us to leave quickly.”
The Hundred Eyed Demon Lord said, “What Daoist Fuluo said is right. I shall take my leave now.”
He turned his head to look at the Dragon King Huanchen. Although their personalities weren’t compatible with each other, he still said, “Please do assist me.”
“You’re too courteous. Please,” said the Dragon King Huanchen as he nodded.
The Hundred Eyed Demon Lord immediately walked towards the Dao universe.
Dragon King Huanchen brought along a billow of colorful clouds beside him. His dragon disciples and troops followed along. They hid within the colorful clouds and entered the Dao universe.
As the crowd of Great Demons rampaged within the universe, their demonic aura surged towards the skies. They traversed through fabrics of space and arrived near where the Roving Jade Heavens was located.
Under the intrusion of the mighty aura, the entire Roving Jade Heavens seemed to be vibrating.
The sharp qi leaked by the Green Duckweed Mountain became even sharper.
The entire Roving Jade Heaven’s spatial boundary seemed to have transformed into the edge of a sword and continuously expanded towards the outer cosmos.
“Daoist Chuan He’s disciples, come out!” The Hundred Eyed Demon Lord ignored it, and his gaze was filled with disdain, “Daoist Chuan He, in the past, you killed my disciple. Today, I shall take revenge on your disciples as well.”
His voice transformed into a visible yellow halo and came crashing towards the Roving Jade Heavens. It crushed the boundary of the Roving Jade Heavens, causing dense sword qis to appear.
Within the Roving Jade Heaven’s Green Duckweed Mountain, the Vine Sovereign had come out of her cave manor.
Beneath her feet, a vast formation expanded. With the Green Duckweed Mountain as its center, it spanned across hundreds of millions of miles, enveloping the entire Nine Regions of the Roving Jade Heavens.
An air column arose from the Green Duckweed Mountain’s prominent peak. It was like a pillar that supported the skies and was also as sharp as a blade. The air column shot towards the sky.
An even mightier sword qi arose from the Roving Jade Heaven’s spatial boundaries to fend off outsiders’ invasion.
The Vine Sovereign’s expression turned serious. Her opponent had merely spoken and used the sonorous voice of the great dao. He had yet to take any action.
Yan Zhaoge’s North Ocean Clone had already returned to the Green Duckweed Mountain. He frowned and looked towards the sky, “Demon Race?”
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1343 - Arrived At an Opportune Moment
Although the Great Demons were all outside of the Roving Jade Heavens, when one’s cultivation was strong enough, they would sense the raging demonic qi.
The Vine Sovereign formed a sword seal with one of her hands, while the other hand swiped the void, causing a picture of radiance to appear.
Only the people atop the Green Duckweed Mountain could see the picture, and the sound released from the scene could only be heard from the top of the mountain.
“Daoist Chuan He’s successors’ disciples, come out!”
Yan Zhaoge looked towards the demon and saw an old man wearing a brilliant red golden crown. He was w
earing a jet-black robe, a pair of green Tang cloud shoes, and a yellow belt.
His face was shaped like an iron melon, and his eyes were dazzling like the stars. He seemed like someone that had attained the great dao. However, the demonic qi surging from his body was soul-stirring.
“This appearance…” Yan Zhaoge felt that he looked a little familiar. However, just by looking at his appearance alone, Yan Zhaoge couldn’t remember who he was.
Yan Zhaoge turned his head to look at Gao Xuebo and the others, “Based on what he said…”
Gao Xuebo was currently looking at the sky with a serious expression.
Feeling Yan Zhaoge’s gaze, he did not turn his head. However, he still explained, “Grand Master Chuan He is an old Grand Master of my lineage before the Great Calamity, and had already perished long ago. From the looks of it, the old Grand Master’s old enemy had come here seeking revenge.”
The Vine Sovereign – Li Ying contemplated for a while, and her expression became even more serious. She asked the Daoist within the picture of radiance, “Could he be the Hundred Eyed Demon Lord?”
Upon mentioning his name, Yan Zhaoge came to a revelation.
After that, the frown on his brows became deeper, “It’s this old demon.”
Naturally, Yan Zhaoge had heard of the Hundred Eyed Demon Lord’s name before. Only, too many years had passed, and he had never come into contact with the Hundred Eyed Demon Lord before. As such, he couldn’t remember the demon lord’s name.
This demon had already attained the great dao during the mid Journey to the West era. Among the stray Great Demon cultivators, he was one of the few experts of his cultivation realm, equipped with extraordinary strength.
Later, he was subdued by someone and became the pet of said person. However, after accidentally transcending, he managed to reclaim his freedom and proclaimed himself king.
Compared to that old white deer, this Hundred Eyed Demon Lord was much scarier and robust. With the outstanding demonic art he cultivated, even those whose cultivation surpassed him wouldn’t be able to deal with him.
