Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 745 - 327: Delaying the Flight into the Sky?

"Heavenly Tribulation..."

To the west of the Southern Great Realm, Zheng Dongliu, amidst a grand formation, glanced at the intelligence Jade Scroll sent from outside, frowning slightly.

He paid no mind to the intelligence of Lu Jin'an slaughtering the Upper Realm humans and demons, but rather, he was concerned with Lu Jin'an crossing the Physical Body Tribulation in the Southern Great Realm.

Leaving aside why he chose to cross the tribulation in the Southern Great Realm, Zheng Dongliu had not detected any signs of a heavenly tribulation here.

Given the distance from this place to the location of the Parasol Tree, it should have been impossible not to detect anything.

Zheng Dongliu put away the Jade Scroll, looking up at the four Demon Saints of the Upper Realm and the three Immortal Venerables thousands of miles away.

The number of these Demon Saints and hidden Immortal Venerables always remained the same. Whenever he and others joined forces to kill or severely wound one, another would replace them.

It seems the method of the Upper Realm could only allow seven Divine Concealment level experts to enter the Southern Great Realm unscathed.

However, besides initially slaughtering two Divine Concealments and one Demon Saint, and later another Demon Saint and a Divine Concealment, it was mostly severely wounding them thereafter.

The opponents' strategy was obviously a war of attrition, and they had learned their lesson well.

The Southern Great Realm, unlike other places, was indeed the best location for a battle of attrition, and moreover, the Upper Realm humans and demons knew Zheng Dongliu wouldn't allow them to go after the Phoenix Ancestor's inheritance, so they provoked him greatly.

And Zheng Dongliu had no choice but to respond to their provocation.

However...

Zheng Dongliu glanced toward the four Demon Saints opposite him, mostly from the Phoenix Clan, who were the most eager to gain the Ancestor's inheritance.

Regarding the bloodline inheritance of demon beasts, they should have received intelligence on the death of a blood relative earlier, yet they showed no signs of retreating...

In pondering, Zheng Dongliu figured out what was going on.

The other side likely knew of Mu Qingyue's identity, which is why they hadn't retreated.

Because they didn't want a half-demon to obtain the Phoenix Ancestor's inheritance.

To any member of the Demon Clan, half-demons are considered a disgrace, especially for the Phoenix Clan, which is second only to the Dragon Clan.

If Mu Qingyue were to obtain the 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix' talent ability, derived from the Phoenix, how would the Phoenix Clan's face remain intact?

This intelligence was likely obtained by Upper Realm humans from a fleeing individual, suspected to be from an Outer Heaven Alien Race, and then passed on to the Demon Clan.

One must remain vigilant.

Zheng Dongliu silently contemplated, yet knowing the limit for the opposing side entering the Southern Great Realm was only seven, the problem wasn't significant.

'The Physical Body Tribulation is the most time-consuming among the Nine Tribulations, taking as short as a month or as long as several months, but as long as Mu Qingyue finishes her inheritance and leaves early, the Demon Clan will retreat...'

As long as there are no unexpected events with the Phoenix Ancestor's inheritance.

And now that Jin'an is undergoing the Physical Body Tribulation, presumably, Mu Qingyue's inheritance has not encountered any unexpected events, so the biggest uncertainty can only come from the outside world.

He was aware of the Upper Realm's determination, including the Phoenix Clan, not wanting Mu Qingyue to obtain the Ancestor's inheritance.

And in the Southern Great Realm, even if the Demon Saints aren't affected, their entry is still limited, and fortunately, the Wandao Sect can still produce a Divine Hidden Great Power to counterbalance them.

If outside, Zheng Dongliu could ensure no deaths.

But in a place like the Southern Great Realm, Zheng Dongliu couldn't guarantee no casualties.

Zheng Dongliu hadn't planned to let the younger generation come to the Southern Great Realm and take risks, but given the current situation, risks were inevitable.

With this thought, Zheng Dongliu took out the Sect Leader Token from his Storage Ring, issued the order with blood, and the Space Crossing Gate unfolded behind him.

"Old Cao, return to oversee the sect," Zheng Dongliu transmitted: "Ximen, you go to the Two Realms Pass to hold the line."

With these words, Zheng Dongliu swallowed two Ninth-grade Elixirs and calmly gazed at the distant Demon Saints.

The leading Golden Phoenix glared at Zheng Dongliu's actions, its scarlet eyes growing more shadowy.

They had naturally received intelligence on the total annihilation of all the Demon Emperors and knew that Mu Qingyue was indeed that offspring from before.

Allow that offspring, which tainted the Phoenix Clan's bloodline, to inherit the Phoenix Ancestor's inheritance?

Impossible!?

A Snow Phoenix, sensing the tense atmosphere around, cautiously spoke: "Zheng Dongliu is prepared for a tough battle, shouldn't we retreat first?

Although the Parasol Tree only has that half-demon left, the Phoenix Ancestor surely wouldn't favor that half-demon's bloodline to pass the inheritance, so..."

Before the sentence was finished, the Hidden Divine Cultivator, concealed somewhere, interrupted, saying softly: "No one knows how long the Phoenix Ancestor's inheritance can remain in the Southern Great Realm, what if the time isn't enough and it has no choice?"

As he spoke, he discreetly glanced at this group of Demon Clan.

Though Mu Qingyue obtaining the Phoenix Ancestor's inheritance isn't good for the entire Upper Realm, the Ancient Court of the Demon Clan would undoubtedly be more anxious.

The Phoenix Clan would not stand for being subordinate to a half-demon, and the Dragon Clan couldn't allow a clan second only to them to lean towards the Lower Realm Human Clan, so they would all fight hard on this matter.

Then the opportunity for the Upper Realm Human Clan would arrive.

It could deplete the strength of both the Upper Realm Demon Clan and the Lower Realm Human Clan while also providing an opportunity for the Upper Realm Ancient Court to pay a greater price for a safe entry into the Southern Great Realm...

A win-win situation, why not?

Moreover, under the pressure of this matter, if Zheng Dongliu couldn't bear it and made some compromises with the Upper Realm to seek assistance,

If such a situation were to occur, the only beneficiaries would be the Upper Realm Human Clan.

With this thought, he directly emerged from hiding, smiling at the dragons and phoenixes present: "Everyone, even if the Phoenix Ancestor's inheritance doesn't choose Mu Qingyue, let's not forget, the Deputy Sect Master of the Wandao Sect, Pei Wanyu, is highly likely to be the Black Phoenix that once defected from the Ancient Court.
