Bai Xiaozhao had recently returned to ’Lishan’ and surprisingly managed to secure a spot for entry.
However, upon further thought, Chu Xisheng was not surprised.
With Bai Xiaozhao possessing the True Blood of Chenghuang and having accumulated a thousand-year-old demonic power in just a few years, it was only natural for Lishan to value him highly.
As Bai Xiaozhao and others arrived, the surrounding crowd began to murmur among themselves.
"People from Lishan have arrived as well. I recognize that woman; she is Lishan’s ’Han Guang Immortal’, also known as Mrs. Han Guang. It’s said her true form is a ’Chongming Bird’. Despite only having a Second Grade cultivation, her combat prowess can rank her on our Human Clan’s Heavenly List."
"It seems this Divine Turtle Wanderer still favors the demon clan, granting additional spots to Lishan, Ten Thousand Demon Valley, Xuanyuan Tomb, and Seven Saints Mountain, the Four Great Demon Clan Sanctuaries."
"After all, Divine Turtle Wanderer has half-demon origins. No matter how much he leans towards the Human Clan, he would still leave some opportunities for the demon clan."
"Ha! A bunch of beasts, yet they dress so splendidly, pretending to be humans."
This statement came from a middle-aged man ten zhang away from Chu Xisheng. He deliberately infused True Yuan into his voice so that everyone present could hear clearly.
The atmosphere on the stone platform instantly went quiet. Not only did Mrs. Han Guang’s gaze turn cold as she looked at him, but others from Ten Thousand Demon Valley, Xuanyuan Tomb, and Seven Saints Mountain also glared angrily at the middle-aged man, their killing intent palpable.
Chu Xisheng was also quite surprised.
He was curious about who this middle-aged man was, daring to provoke the Four Great Demon Clan Sanctuaries. Fang Bu Yuan chuckled softly, saying, "That’s Zhang Longtu, the War Hall Grand Elder of the God-controlling Sect. The Black Biao Beast lying outside is his. These factions are mortal enemies."
As he spoke, he pointed outside the stone platform.
In the distant sky, a massive beast about twenty zhang long lay there.
Its shape resembled a tiger but had a pair of wings, its whole body enveloped in black qi mist, resembling a Qiong Qi.
This was a Black Biao.
The White Tiger has five forms: Zheng, Ning, Chang, Jiao, and Jue, but there’s also a rogue called ’Biao’, inheriting all the White Tiger’s bloodline divine powers and being extremely fierce and savage.
Hearing this, Chu Xisheng felt relieved.
The God-controlling Sect was formerly known as the ’Beast Taming Sect’ and, alongside the Formless Divine Sect, Star Constellation Immortal Sect, Supreme Profound Sect, Guiyuan Sword Sect, and Dutian Divine Palace, comprised the Six Great Divine Sects of the time.
The cultivation of this sect was quite peculiar, capable of enslaving various demon beasts and divine beasts, not only using them for combat but also utilizing their bloodline power to strengthen their own cultivation.
Though it sounded similar to Coexistence Spirit Pets, it was fundamentally different.
If Coexistence Spirit Pets were about sharing and growing together, then the God-controlling Sect’s cultivation was a one-sided ’plunder’.
Coexistence Spirit Pets allow only one, whereas the God-controlling Sect can control countless demon beasts, as long as one’s strength is sufficient to suppress the slave beasts from backfiring.
Therefore, the God-controlling Sect has always coveted the Four Great Demon Clan Sanctuaries, while the Four Great Demon Clan Sanctuaries see the God-controlling Sect as a thorn in their side.
Chu Xisheng gave Bai Xiaozhao a cold glance, then shifted his attention back to Little Xuanwu: "Guigui, why are you glaring at that masked person? Is there something peculiar about them?"
Little Xuanwu gave him a sideways glance, then retracted its head into its shell.
Once Chu Xisheng returned its mother’s eye to its possession, Little Xuanwu held no more grudges.
Yet it would never betray its closest kin.
As Chu Xisheng was bewildered, he suddenly sensed an immense cold qi sweeping from the east.
The cold power was magnificently majestic, dominating in every regard.
From east to west, the entire world visible to Chu Xisheng’s eyes became frozen.
Whether it was the sea below or the moisture in the sky, all turned into Dark Ice.
Even this stone platform, covered in ’golden rules’, became coated with a layer of frost and snow.
At this moment, a woman clad in silver war armor appeared above the stone platform.
She wielded a sword with a wheel-like hilt and suddenly slashed towards the illusionary Immortal Palace surrounded by white clouds ahead.
Raising his head, Chu Xisheng saw this woman, and his pupils unconsciously contracted slightly.
It was ’One Sword Overturning City’ Ween Zhiyi!
