Lu Jin’an got what he wanted... not just another Corpse Peng named ’Lan Cangjun’, but also a name.
The pitch-black Yin Corpse Qi enveloped Lan Cangjun’s body, and Lu Jin’an spoke lightly: "How could the Human Clan’s Upper Envoy so easily reveal their masterpiece to you... you are the Demon Clan after all."
Behind him, Mu Qingyue and Zhu Nanzhi clearly felt the tense atmosphere gradually relax.
Lu Jin’an sheathed his sword, and after a command, Lan Cangjun stood up.
Having become more proficient in this move, he no longer needed the initial command of "stand up" he gave to Fu Lin.
Releasing Fu Lin and Chu Jinghai into the Yinming Space to devour, Lu Jin’an turned his head to gaze at the falling curtain of battle at Hidden City, and he smiled slightly: "A great victory."
Above Mist River, humans and demons faced off.
Qingyun Jun failed to stop the Yao Guang Starlight cascading into Mist River Cave Heaven.
With Zheng Dongliu present and not relying on the Upper Realm’s support, only if the Dragon Court sent a dragon could they restrain Zheng Dongliu.
Qingyun Jun, with a bleeding arm, looked with a complex expression at the entrance of Mist River Cave Heaven. As the nine stars of Dao Palace disappeared, he hesitated several times, wanting to destroy the Cave Heaven, but ultimately restrained himself.
Because he was unsure of the situation inside.
Should he ruin the Upper Realm’s plan, there’s no way he could keep his position as King Court Master.
Having laboriously led the declining Golden Winged Roc Clan back to a certain peak, losing the throne now would make it impossible to reclaim past glory.
Qingyun Jun lightly sighed in his heart, but so many years’ plan by the Upper Realm shouldn’t go wrong, right?
Thinking this, he glanced at a calm Zheng Dongliu and silently cursed why this old guy didn’t just die?
"Still want to fight?"
Zheng Dongliu’s voice was flat. In this place, with Shangguan Qizheng and Qi Huizu present, he was fully confident that, even at some cost, he could directly take Qingyun Jun’s bird head.
But he wouldn’t do so.
Qingyun Jun, though an undeserving King Court Master of the Demon Clan, still represented the face of the Demon Clan. Killing him would mean full-scale war.
The Human Clan now is indeed stronger than 20,000 years ago, but still not enough to shake the Demon Clan’s status.
Just the number of strong ones in the Divine Concealment Realm reveals a thousand-year gap between the Human Clan and the Demon Clan Royal Court.
This is under normal calculation, after all, not every Divine Presence can break through to Divine Concealment...
The term ’Enlightenment’ is profoundly mysterious.
Especially once full-scale war begins, the Sun Suspended, Cloud Sky, and Hidden Life mountains have ample reasons to intervene.
Having painstakingly restricted their activities to the Upper Realm, how can we easily allow them to descend from the mountain again?
And under such circumstances, they’ve found methods of ’Possession’. Once they descend, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Zheng Dongliu knew them too well.
Qingyun Jun did not speak, just watched the entrance of the Cave Heaven.
Zheng Dongliu stroked his beard: "Your courage has diminished quite a bit compared to before."
Qingyun Jun shook his head: "You’ve nurtured an excellent junior, allowing you to do what you want with more freedom, but I haven’t."
"Jin’an wasn’t nurtured by this old man."
Zheng Dongliu retorted, lowering his head to look at the Cave Heaven’s entrance.
In the golden whirlpool-like entrance, the first one to come out wasn’t Lu Jin’an.
Everyone’s gaze remained calm, as Lu Jin’an was accustomed to being the last to emerge from the Cave Heaven.
Jiang Wuya swiftly approached Zheng Dongliu, Shangguan Qizheng, and Qi Huizu, made a bow, and quickly relayed the remaining issues.
Even though the crisis of Hidden City was resolved, the cultivators in Tongsheng Realm were still unable to leave Hidden City.
While breakthrough was a good method, cultivators couldn’t sense nature’s spiritual energy within the Cave Heaven, and their spiritual power would deplete, making it impossible to support a breakthrough.
Zheng Dongliu gently nodded, glanced at Shangguan Qizheng: "Old fellow, I’ll leave this problem to you."
Upon these words, he slowly headed towards the west bank of Mist River.
And as more people emerged, the interrupted Mist River returned to its rushing flow.
Zheng Dongliu raised his right hand and waved, creating a boundary with spiritual power: "From now on, this line will be the border."
Qingyun Jun merely looked at the entrance of the Cave Heaven, slightly lost in thought.
No Demon Monarchs emerged.
Moreover, judging from the expressions of the Human Clan cultivators, it was not difficult to tell that the so-called plan of the Upper Realm seemed to have failed?
He saw Lu Jin’an walk out.
The spiritual energy in the world surged, being absorbed into Lu Jin’an’s body like a whale swallowing.
Late-stage Harmonization Realm.
Lu Jin’an looked at Qingyun Jun and smiled slightly: "Lan Cangjun hated you bitterly before he died."
Qingyun Jun looked at Lu Jin’an: "Did you kill him?"
"Yes," Lu Jin’an nodded, "Before he died, he asked me to avenge him against you... and I agreed."
Qingyun Jun turned around and left silently.
His back seemed much older.
"Then I’ll leave him to you." Zheng Dongliu looked at Lu Jin’an with satisfaction.
Lu Jin’an bowed to the elder: "This time, a total of sixty-four people died."
"We’ll talk back home." Zheng Dongliu glanced at the entrance of Mist River Cave Heaven, then looked at Shangguan Qizheng and Qi Huizu: "Both of you, please bear with it a bit longer, establish a city on the west bank and build a bridge over Mist River."
Shangguan Qizheng and Qi Huizu nodded, and Zheng Dongliu turned to Jiang Wuya: "In recent days, you take care of those who can’t get out of the Cave Heaven."
Jiang Wuya bowed and received the orders.
Lu Jin’an retracted his gaze from the rolling demon energy leaving skyward, his thoughts stirring... It’s been nearly a month since he last saw his Master.
"Senior Sister Qingyue." Zhu Nanzhi approached Mu Qingyue’s ear and whispered: "Do you feel that husband’s body temperature is higher than before?"
"It’s probably because he opened the Po Jun Dao Palace."
"Hehe~" Zhu Nanzhi smiled: "So, does this mean husband now is unsatisfied~?"
Mu Qingyue spoke lightly: "How about a true triple cultivation?"
