Chapter 221: Chapter 169: The Demon Manifests (Seeking Monthly Ticket)
Zhenwu Temple.
Within a great hall of Zhenwu Temple, Daoist Lv, a Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial of the Zhenwu Temple, sat cross-legged in meditation, cultivating.
Although cultivating in the Human World was much slower in effect compared to the outside world, there would still be some progress.
This Daoist Lv had a legendary reputation because he possessed a Treasure Bone Level Innate Talent and, after being discovered, could not bear to part with the little donkey his father had bought for him. In the end, he embarked on the path of Martial Arts Cultivation with the donkey, never leaving his side.
To allow the donkey to live a bit longer, he even assisted the donkey in completing a mutation.
However, a mutated donkey could only live for around a hundred years, and the donkey he was riding now was a descendant of that original little donkey.
It was exactly because of his deep feelings for donkeys that he even named himself Daoist Lv. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Suddenly, Daoist Lv opened his eyes.
"What’s the matter?"
He spoke.
"Patriarch, something terrible has happened. Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestials from Mountain and Sea Palace, Dharma Temple, and Yangwu Daoist Mansion... after breaking the demonic calamity of Qinxin Island, upon returning to their respective daoist mansions and sects, suddenly went mad and massacred their own disciples and descendants..."
A voice tinged with tremors came from outside.
The doors of the hall burst open, and immediately after, the figure of Daoist Lv appeared outside the great hall. He looked at the head of Zhenwu Temple and asked in a deep voice, "Is the news reliable?"
"Patriarch, these powers sent help messages at the same time. We still need more detailed information from our people."
The head of Zhenwu Temple quickly replied.
"I’ll go there myself."
With that, Daoist Lv disappeared.
More than an hour later.
Daoist Lv had already arrived at Xuanwu Daoist Mansion, the closest to Zhenwu Road. The Xuanwu Dao Master had moved his entire clan into the Human World.
Among the many Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestials in Chang Country, only Daoist Lv had no family, not even disciples, because his disciples had died long ago outside in wars against the Demon Race.
What remained of Zhenwu Temple in the Human World was just his own lineage.
Upon his arrival at Xuanwu Daoist Mansion, it had almost become a land of the dead, with corpses everywhere.
Even the city where Xuanwu Daoist Mansion was located suffered many casualties.
However, he couldn’t sense the trail of the Xuanwu Dao Master.
Swoosh!
He landed inside Xuanwu Daoist Mansion, carefully examining the corpses on the ground.
There were no signs of life force being plundered.
Meaning it wasn’t caused by demons.
Daoist Lv was puzzled. If the slaughter here was caused by Xuanwu Dao Master, then what on earth happened to him that he would so ruthlessly massacre his own family and descendants?
He sensed something unusual.
Suddenly, he looked up in one direction and saw a black-bearded elder descend from the sky, landing in front of him.
"Daoist Lv, what’s going on here?"
The black-bearded elder asked in a grave tone.
He was Chai Wei, a Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial from Jingwu Road, born into the Imperial Family, although not from the main line.
"I’ve just arrived."
Daoist Lv shook his head, "Let’s hurry to Mountain and Sea Palace."
"Alright."
The black-bearded elder, Daoist Chai Wei, nodded.
Thus, the two hurriedly went to see Mountain and Sea Palace.
When the two arrived at Mountain and Sea Palace, the situation was nearly the same as Xuanwu Daoist Mansion; many of the disciples of Mountain and Sea Palace were dead, with only a few lucky ones who escaped or happened not to be there.
Similarly, the Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial of Mountain and Sea Palace was nowhere to be found.
According to a few surviving disciples of Mountain and Sea Palace, the ancestor returned looking strange, as if his entire being was hollow and lifeless, and then he went mad and started killing.
Subsequently, the other four Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestials of Chang Country received the news and rushed to join Daoist Lv and Daoist Chai Wei. They had already visited Dharma Temple and Yangwu Daoist Mansion.
The scenarios were all similar.
Unable to find the whereabouts of the troubled Celestials, they decided to seek answers at the source, Qinxin City.
So, the six Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestials hurried to Qinxin Island.
When they arrived, the entire city was still shrouded in mist.
With the previous examples of the four Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestials, they dared not enter.
"It seems this demonic calamity is no small matter."
Daoist Lv said with concern.
"Even the most powerful Demon Saint... at most possesses the strength of a top-tier Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial. The Myriad Phenomena Demon Thought released by him should be resistant with the Heart Protecting Secret Talisman."
Daoist Chai Wei of the Imperial Family frowned as he spoke.
"If it was some accident that caused the Heart Protecting Secret Talisman to not function, but for the Myriad Phenomena Demon Thought to control a Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial to massacre... it’s almost impossible, let alone control four at once..."
A Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial from Hongwu Daoist Mansion shook his head.
The others agreed. They knew that when the Demon Saint’s Myriad Phenomena Demon Thought descended, it would face many restrictions from the barriers of the Human World, and ultimately only the most minimal Myriad Phenomena Demon Thought would manifest onto the demon body.
And precisely because of this, armed with the Heart Protecting Secret Talisman, they had the confidence to confront these Demon Saints’ demon bodies without being instantly overwhelmed by the Myriad Phenomena Demon Thought breaking through their mental defenses, leaving them powerless to retaliate.
"This time, only that Martial Saint senior can act."
Daoist Lv of Zhenwu Temple sighed.
"This Martial Saint senior, whose origin and identity is unknown to anyone, how do we find him?"
Daoist Liao Nian from Hengwu Road asked.
"In Huilong Mountain Range, we might be able to find the senior."
Daoist Lv said.
Two years ago, he had delivered resources of a Dao Sect elder to the senior’s hands.
Although he had never seen the senior, the senior truly existed in the Huilong Mountain Range, and had indeed accepted the items.
