Chapter 1974- Ao Xiao Appears
”The real reason for the Demon Race’s invasion of us this time seems to be known only to those Saint Ancestors, and the general Demon Race Venerables are just following orders. Otherwise, when the soul searches were conducted on the Demon Race Venerables who took the risk of capturing them alive in the first place, it wouldn’t be the case that they didn’t get the slightest bit of relevant information.” The white leather-robed old woman slowly said, seemingly greatly helpless.
”Hmph, no matter what reason the Demon Race has for this ambition. But our several clans must not let them have their wish. The several backhanders we prepared are now being carried out at the same time. Even two of them have already been completed for the most part, which should be enough to deal a heavy blow to the demonic armies that have already descended, and even the descent of some demonic Saint Ancestors themselves to the Spirit Realm won’t change anything. The only troublesome thing is that we have received intelligence confirming that this time, it seems that the three Great Patriarchs of the Demon Race will descend down together. In that case, even if the Mahayana of several clans such as ours were to attack together, I’m afraid that we would most likely not be able to defeat them. I heard that each of the three Great Patriarchs of the Devil Clan are old monsters that have survived for hundreds of thousands of years, and are only one step away from ascending to become a True Devil-like existence.” The man with the plume feather frowned down and said something that made the other people’s hearts jump.
”The three Great Patriarchs of the Devil Clan can all be upper level ancient devils at the Transitional Stage, not to mention our clans, I’m afraid that there are not many people in the entire Spirit Realm who dare to say that they can win over them. If there are, only those True Spirit existences enshrined by the great clans can fight them. Our clans are considered to be weak in the Spirit World, so where can we find True Spirit existences to come and help us? And if there is no way to deal with the Three Great Patriarchs, even if we use the previous means to repel the demonic army, the defeat of our clans still cannot be changed.” The old woman murmured.
The others looked at each other, and their faces all turned a little ugly.
”You all don’t need to fret like this, when Lord Mo Jianli left the Sacred Island, he said that he was going to go and find the Mahayanas of the other several races to come up with a way to deal with this matter. After such a long time has passed, there might already be a way.” A white-clean man, who had never said anything, suddenly spoke faintly.
”Fellow Daoist Lent, how come we have never heard of this matter.” When the plume-feathered man heard this, his complexion was startled and he hurriedly asked.
The others also had both shocked and delighted expressions on their faces.
”This matter is only known to Brother Luo and I. In the beginning, Senior Mo specifically instructed not to easily spread the word, so it was never mentioned to his fellow Daoists. Now? It seems to have reached the point where it’s impossible not to say anything.” The white clean man sighed in explanation.
”Brother Luo, are these words true.” Without waiting for the plume man to pursue the question, the old woman turned her head to the white-haired old man first and asked eagerly.
”Hehe, Fellow Daoist Xun’s words are true. Senior Mo did explain this matter to the two of us when he left.” The white-haired old man smiled faintly and nodded his head in acknowledgement.
”Great! Elder Mo should have had a countermeasure in mind long ago when he said so.”
”From the looks of it, we should still have a great hope of winning in the end of this Devil’s Tribulation.”
……
For a while, the people in the hall were relieved and whispered.
”Alright, before discussing the specific arrangements below, there’s one more thing I’d like to announce. Fellow Daoist Black Rain, who left the Sacred Island some time ago and went to capture the Huang Liang Stone Spirit, has fallen away. According to the Heavenly Cicada that the Holy Imperial City sent to assist, they had already fetched the Yellow Sorghum Stone Spirit at that time before breaking up and leaving. But as soon as Black Rain left in this regard, the Origin Card was destroyed.” The man with the plume feather turned the topic and said in a grave manner.
Everyone else’s complexion also sank.
”Black Rain Shangren is a mid-cultivator of the Harmonization stage, and his aptitude is really not weak, so how could something happen to him without a sound. Could it be that there is something else hidden inside?” The white man’s gaze condensed, and he asked with some skepticism.
”The hidden agenda shouldn’t be. Although the Yellow Sorghum Stone Spirit is rare, it’s not too useful to the average person. Moreover, Fellow Daoist Celestial Cicada also mentioned a witness. At that time, the one who assisted them in obtaining the Stone Spirit was another Harmonization Stage daoist who met them by chance. It is said that if it wasn’t for this person’s help at that time, the two of them wouldn’t have been able to capture the stone spirit that easily.” The man with the plume feather shook his head as he said.
”Human witness! Which daoist friend is it, it can’t be someone from Sacred Imperial City as well, right?” The old woman frowned and slowly asked.
”That’s not true. Speaking of this person, most of the Daoists have probably heard of him. It’s Fellow Daoist Han Li, who newly advanced to Harmonization a few hundred years ago.” The plume-feathered man returned seriously.
”Han Li! This name is something I’ve indeed heard of. I’ve heard that it’s a cultivation genius that can only appear once in 100,000 years in your Human Race, and that he actually cultivated from the Transformation God Stage to the Early Harmonization Realm in a few hundred years.” The old woman was startled and said back with some surprise.
”Hehe, Daoist friend this news is outdated. Right now, this fellow Daoist Han is already a mid-Harmonization cultivator.” The white-haired old man suddenly interjected with a smile.
”What, advanced to the middle stage realm. This speed is too fast. It seems that the saying that it is seen once in 100,000 years is still understated.” The old woman was somewhat appalled.
Not only him, but several other old monsters of the Conformity Stage who were also unaware of this matter also stirred for a while, all revealing expressions of surprise.
”Perhaps. If it wasn’t for the fact that we happened to run into the outbreak of the Demonic Tribulation, Fellow Daoist Han Li would most likely have already become a member of our Sacred Island. But the matter of this Fellow Daoist Han will be discussed later. Brother Ying, you may have already sought out Fellow Daoist Han to confirm this matter.” The white-haired old man smiled faintly and pressed on at the man with the plume feather.
”I originally wanted to do so, but after I managed to get in touch with Heavenly Abyss City, I realized that this Fellow Daoist Han had already disappeared. The time of his disappearance seems to coincide with the day of the Black Rain Sky Cicada’s actions.” The man with the plume gave a bitter smile and said with some helplessness.
”Missing. How could such a thing happen!” The white-haired old man’s face changed, and his expression became somewhat ugly.
”From the news coming from the side of Heavenly Abyss City, Fellow Daoist Han was rescuing Yitian City when he happened to encounter the incarnation of the Demon Sacred Ancestor that descended from the Demon Realm, and that’s why his whereabouts are unknown. However, I have carefully verified the news from Fellow Daoist Skycicada and Heavenly Abyss City, and Fellow Daoist Han should have escaped from the Devil Race before he encountered Fellow Daoist Skycicada and Black Rain. However, after the three captured the Stone Spirit and parted ways, apart from Skycicada who returned to Sacred Emperor City without incident, the remaining two seemed to have had accidents.” The plume-feathered man’s spoke.
”With this Fellow Daoist Han’s natural talent, he might also have hopes of advancing to the Mahayana level in the future, so it would really be a great pity if he really fell off. However, existences such as ours are originally traveling against the heavens, and it’s not surprising that they would fall early, not to mention that this is also the period when the Demonic Tribulation erupted.” The old woman sighed, seeming to truly find it a great pity.
”If Fellow Daoist Han really had an accident, we can only say that he was not blessed enough. However, this is different from the destruction of Black Rain’s original life card, Fellow Daoist Han did not leave his original life object in Tian Yuan City, so it’s not good to really judge his life and death. But regardless of how the black rain fell, more critical is that the original has reached the Huang Liang stone spirit, disappeared together. Without this thing, we painstakingly prepare an important step, can not be completed. This can be related to our two tribes life and death of the big event, must immediately think of a solution.” The Plume Feather man said with a flash of his gaze.
”This is truly something that cannot be delayed!”
”Is it possible to find another Yellow Sorghum Stone Spirit elsewhere?”
”In addition to the Huangliang Stone Spirit, is it possible to replace it with something else, is it possible to not prepare another backhand in the first place?”
……
The people in the hall were aghast, and after a moment’s thought, they opened their mouths one after another.
”Huang Liang Stone Spirit and other heaven and earth spirits, which is this good to find. Right now this one is also early relevant news, only to let the Black Rain Shangren personally leave the island to do this matter. As for the alternative items, we did prepare a few pieces. But in that case, the might of that means will inevitably be weakened by three points, and in the end, whether or not it will still be able to achieve the effect that we want, this is something that is not easy to say.” The man with the plume feather first shook his head and then nodded his head down as he spoke.
Upon hearing the man say this, the other people’s expressions varied, and for a while no one opened their mouths to speak again.
The entire hall became silent for a moment.
”The Yellow Sorghum Stone Spirit is just a trivial matter, just leave it to old me to resolve. I still have more important things that I need all of you Daoists to contribute to.”
A faint man’s voice suddenly echoed and resounded in the great hall, causing one’s heart and mind to involuntarily be captured at the sound of it.
”Elder Ao Xiao, it’s your old man who has arrived!” Originally calm plume feather man, once heard this voice stood up from the chair and exclaimed with an ecstatic expression.
Almost at the same time, the original closed door of the hall, suddenly from the outside to the inside of a push open, and from the outside of a front and back into the two people came.
In front of a person in a silver robe, long black hair hanging straight to the waist, is a face like a virgin man in his thirties, face with a faint smile.
And behind a person with a graceful figure, skin as white as jade, behind the same pulled a head of straight long hair, but the silver light is brilliant, as if pure silver to create a general, is actually a face amazingly beautiful silver-haired woman.
”Greetings to senior Ao Xiao, welcome to senior’s descent to the Holy Island!”
The original white-haired old man sitting in the hall, the moment he saw the man in front of him, his face was first shocked, and then the same color of excitement appeared as he jumped up, respectfully rushed in front of the man to give a deep salute and said.
The other a cadre of originally doubtful old monsters, this is no longer any doubt, the same surprise also went forward to pay their respects.
This man is actually the Demon Clan’s only Mahayana Stage existence, the famous Demon Clan for many years, “Ao Xiao Old Ancestor”.
”Get up. Some of you have seen me several times before. Some of you have met me for the first time, but there is no need to be polite.” The long-haired man waved his hand at the crowd and said with a slight smile.
”Elder is joking. Your elder, please take your seat first.” After the white-haired old man smiled sarcastically, he hurriedly made way for the center-most seat.
”Well, then the old man will not be polite.” Old Ancestor Ao Xiao nodded his head and lifted his leg to take a step.
The people in the hall only felt a blur before their eyes, and the long-haired man somehow appeared at the seat, and sat down without any panic.
