Boundless Venerable One, yet no one comes to your rescue.
Central Region, Mangxing City, the "Demon Quelling Alliance" temporary command center.
Inside the huge circular hall, the atmosphere was heated.
All the Elders' gazes were currently fixed on the map of the Demon Domain projected by the "spiritual mechanism mirror" in the center.
That huge light spot located in the Demon Domain Battlefield, startlingly large and like a brilliant star, was truly too dazzling!
"Can you check who established this base?"
"To expand a base to such a scale in such a short time? This is simply incredible!"
An old man in white robes with an immortal air couldn't help but ask curiously.
He was an influential Elder of the Moon God Palace, knowledgeable and long-lived, and felt he had seen many Prodigy figures.
But he had never seen such a fierce existence!
This "pioneering" speed was just too fast!
"Check? Yes, we can! Check it!"
"Quick, check it!"
"Yes, hurry!"
"Hehe, perhaps it was done by a Prodigy of my Netherworld Sect!"
Everyone spoke up one after another.
Hearing this, the deacon in charge of controlling the spiritual mechanism mirror immediately formed hand seals and cast several spiritual incantations.
"Buzz—!"
The spiritual mechanism mirror vibrated slightly, and light flowed across its surface.
A moment later.
Lines of clear golden text appeared next to the huge light spot:
[Base Name: Flowing Cloud City]
[Current Status: Extremely Safe (Devilish Qi completely purged, Formation operating perfectly, Spiritual Qi abundant)]
[Administrator: Ye Qing]
[Affiliated Power: Jixia Sacred Academy]
[Current Record: Slain two Demon Race prodigies (Mo Luo, Demon Executioner), wiped out two demon squads, cleared tens of thousands of surrounding Demon Puppets, rescued over fifty thousand Human Race Cultivators...]
..."What?!"
"It's Ye Qing?!"
Seeing this information, all the Elders from the six major powers present gasped, their faces showing shock.
"It's actually him?"
"The Ye Qing who single-handedly wiped out three top-tier noble families? It seems the rumors are true!"
"No wonder! No wonder!"
"Killed two Demon Race prodigies in a row? Not bad! The new generation surpasses the old!"
After their exclamations, there was a momentary silence.
And after the brief quiet.
"Hahaha!"
A burst of hearty laughter broke the silence.
The Elder sent by Jixia Sacred Academy was currently stroking his beard and laughing heartily, his face beaming.
The wrinkles on his face almost formed the shape of a chrysanthemum from smiling.
"Oh my, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it."
"This child Ye Qing usually seems quite unremarkable and low-profile, but I didn't expect him to be so... so unexpected on the battlefield!"
"Not bad! Not bad at all!"
Although he said "not bad," as if it were only average.
The smugness and pride on his face were practically overflowing.
Seeing this, the Elders of the other powers felt a bit sour in their hearts.
But they still stepped forward to offer their congratulations:
"Oh, congratulations to your academy!"
"True Disciple Ye is truly a dragon among men; such a record is truly a blessing for our Human Race!"
"It seems the top contribution for this demon vanquishing mission belongs to none other than Ye Qing!"
Everyone was very envious; Ye Qing's name had been very prominent in the Central Region recently.
And if it continued like this.
If no accidents occurred, the Sacred Academy would likely have a top-tier powerhouse capable of suppressing an entire era in the future!
Meanwhile, facing everyone's compliments.
Although the Sacred Academy Elder was delighted, he still pretended to be humble, waving his hands repeatedly:
"Not at all, not at all."
"Everyone overpraises him."
"Although this child has some talent, he is still young after all; he needs to keep working hard, keep working hard!"
"Hahahaha!"
...Just as everyone was in a harmonious mood, praising one another.
In the crowd.
An old man with a sinister face, wearing a dark gold robe.
His eyes flickered slightly.
He was the representative Elder sent by the Western Heaven Prefecture and one of the most trusted confidants of the Western Heaven Prefecture Lord, Boundless Supreme Venerable!
At this moment.
He also followed the other Elders, showing a smile on his face and raising his hands to congratulate the Sacred Academy Elder.
But while offering his thanks.
His Divine Sense moved slightly, quietly activating an extremely secret transmission technique in his heart.
This technique could directly connect deep into the Demon Domain Battlefield.
It allowed for one-way contact with Boundless Supreme Venerable, who was currently at the "front line" vanquishing demons!
"Prefecture Lord."
He murmured in his heart.
"This subordinate... has found news of Ye Qing!"
"His base is in Flowing Cloud City!"
"And..."
The confidant Elder transmitted the information displayed on the spiritual mechanism mirror word for word.
Having done all this.
An indescribable joy and relief welled up in his heart.
Because.
"I originally thought it would take a lot of effort to find Ye Qing's tracks in this vast Demon Domain."
"After all, I had to do it secretly and couldn't attract attention, lest I be noticed by the Sacred Academy."
"But I didn't expect..."
"News of this kid Ye Qing would come so quickly! So easily!"
"I didn't even have to look for him; he jumped out himself and became the most conspicuous target!"
"Hehe."
"Heaven is truly helping me!"
"Now, the mission is easily accomplished!"
...Meanwhile.
Deep in the Demon Domain Battlefield.
On a desolate and deathly silent plain.
"Boom!"
Boundless Supreme Venerable shattered a blind Soul Transformation Stage Demonic Beast that had crossed over from another realm with a single palm strike, his expression indifferent.
Just then.
His heart stirred slightly as he received the message from his confidant.
"Flowing Cloud City?"
"Ye Qing?"
After reading the message, a cold sneer curled on Boundless Supreme Venerable's lips.
"Good!"
"Very good!"
"I already know the location."
He was also very satisfied.
After cutting off the communication technique with his confidant.
Boundless Supreme Venerable looked around, identifying the direction.
He soon roughly locked onto the location of Flowing Cloud City.
"Ye Qing..."
"I've let you live for so long; it's about time to send you on your way!"
"My son has been waiting for you down there for a long time!"
Boom!
His figure moved, turning into an inconspicuous streak of light, speeding towards Flowing Cloud City.
For the sake of revenge.
Boundless Supreme Venerable was currently acting with caution and keeping a low profile.
He didn't release his aura with great fanfare; instead, he restrained all his pressure, looking like an ordinary lone Cultivator.
After all.
He was going to do "dirty work," didn't want to attract attention, and couldn't be too flashy... and along the way.
The Demon Domain was full of hidden dangers.
Some powerful Demon Puppets at the Soul Transformation Stage or even the Early Stage of Void Returning were wandering about.
Relying on instinct, they still sensed the tempting aura of flesh and blood on Boundless Supreme Venerable as he passed by.
So they roared and rushed forward, wanting to tear him apart and devour him.
But.
"Noisy."
Boundless Supreme Venerable didn't even lift an eyelid.
He just casually raised his hand and struck.
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
Just like swatting a few flies.
Those terrifying Demon Puppets couldn't even get close to him before they exploded into clouds of blood mist in mid-air!
Along the way.
Boundless Supreme Venerable conveniently killed many Demon Puppets.
He also passed by some small cities or Sect forces that were still struggling to hold on.
When he didn't take action, he passed by quietly without being seen by anyone.
But if he was noticed by Demon Puppets and had to take action.
The Cultivators in these cities or forces naturally noticed him.
"Look!"
"There's someone there!"
"Heavens! So strong!"
"Who is that? He wiped out a group of Late Stage Soul Transformation Demon Puppets with just a casual gesture?!"
Those surviving Cultivators, hiding behind broken Formations and on the verge of despair, were overjoyed when they saw this!
"We're saved!"
"It's a Human Race mighty expert! He's here to save us!"
They cheered and jumped for joy, thinking they had finally found hope.
However.
Hearing the cries for help, Boundless Supreme Venerable only gave the city below a faint glance.
His eyes were indifferent, without a trace of warmth.
It was as if he were looking at a group of ants.
"Did you see me?"
"Since you saw me..."
"Then you cannot be left alive."
He did not step in to save them.
Instead, with a thought.
His massive Divine Sense instantly covered a range of ten thousand miles!
Then.
"Come here!"
With a thought, his Divine Sense grabbed a group of Demon Puppets in the distance through the void.
"Roar—!"
Several Late Stage Soul Transformation Demon Puppets, along with hundreds or thousands of Soul Transformation Demon Puppets.
It was as if they were forcibly seized by an invisible giant hand!
If there were any at the Void Returning level, it would be even better!
Then.
"Go!"
Boundless Supreme Venerable waved his hand.
He directly teleported these terrifying demonic creatures across the void into those cities and forces that had just kindled hope!
"Roar!"
The Demon Puppets landed and instantly went mad, launching a frenzied slaughter against the surrounding humans!
"Ah—!"
Screams instantly pierced the sky.
"Why?!"
"Why is this happening?!"
The survivors wailed in despair.
They didn't understand why this Human Race mighty expert not only didn't save them but even brought more terrifying monsters!
Boundless Supreme Venerable didn't even bother to give them another look.
Why? Because he wanted to silence them.
What he was going to do was assassinate a Saint Academy True Disciple, so he couldn't leave any traces.
These people who had seen his path of action... must die!
Only dead people don't talk, and no one would be able to deduce his whereabouts from their memories... Elsewhere.
Within the grounds of a Sect called the "Iron Sword Sect."
Hundreds of Cultivators, relying on the Sect's great Formation, had persisted until now under the siege of Demon Puppets.
Although it was difficult and they were at the end of their ropes, they never gave up hope.
Just then.
Boundless Supreme Venerable passed by this place.
"That is..."
Inside the Sect, a sharp-eyed Elder suddenly trembled with excitement, pointing at the figure in the sky and shouting:
"I recognize him!"
"That... that is the Prefecture Lord of the Western Heaven Prefecture! Lord Boundless Supreme Venerable!"
"Heavens! He's a top-tier powerhouse of the Central Region! We're saved!"
As soon as these words were spoken.
The entire Sect instantly boiled over!
"The Western Heaven Prefecture Lord?!"
"Great! Everyone hold on a little longer! Lord Prefecture Lord is here to save us!"
Everyone looked at that grand figure in the sky.
Their eyes were full of admiration and hope.
After struggling to hold on until now, they finally saw hope!
"Look! Lord Prefecture Lord is so mighty!"
"He wiped out a swath of Demon Puppets with just a wave of his hand!"
"We're saved!"
However.
Just as they were cheering and jumping for joy.
"Roar—!!!"
A hair-raising roar suddenly came from overhead.
Everyone looked up in horror.
They saw large numbers of Soul Transformation Demon Puppets, and even a few terrifying Void Returning Demon Puppets, rising into the air from all directions.
It was as if they were being grabbed by an invisible giant hand, flying towards them like falling dumplings!
Even more terrifying.
"Crack!"
Their defensive Formation, which they had relied on to survive and hold out until now and was still functioning.
At this moment.
Unexpectedly... shattered!
It was as if someone had forcibly smashed it from the outside!
"No!!!"
"How did the Formation break?!"
"It's over!"
Before everyone could react.
Those Demon Puppets falling from the sky had already landed among the crowd!
Like tigers among sheep!
"Ah!!!"
Piercing screams instantly erupted.
Without the protection of the Formation, these already exhausted Cultivators were no match for the Demon Puppets.
They were torn to pieces in an instant!
"Lord Prefecture Lord! Help!"
"Save us!"
Many people fought to the death while frantically calling for help from Boundless Supreme Venerable in the sky.
They didn't understand.
Why, when a mighty expert was right there, would he not lend a hand?
However.
The cries were useless.
From beginning to end, that figure did not stop for a moment, nor did he look back once.
No one to save them!
...Soon.
The Iron Sword Sect was wiped out, and corpses littered the ground.
Amidst the ruins.
Only one person, relying on a special concealment treasure.
Although seriously injured, he barely managed to hide his aura, hiding under a pile of corpses and temporarily avoiding the Demon Puppets' attacks.
He was the Elder who had recognized Boundless Supreme Venerable.
At this moment.
Through the gaps between the corpses, his blood-stained pupils happened to meet the indifferent gaze of Boundless Supreme Venerable, who was about to leave in the distance.
"Save... save..."
His lips moved, letting out a faint murmur.
However.
Before he could finish speaking.
He discovered in horror.
The concealment treasure on his person, which had never failed before... suddenly failed!
The spiritual light dissipated!
"Roar!"
Several Demon Puppets that should have been unable to find him instantly turned their heads.
Their crimson eyes stared fixedly at him!
"No..."
The Elder's eyes were full of despair and resentment.
At this moment, he seemed to understand something.
The next moment.
The Demon Puppets pounced.
The world fell into darkness... Meanwhile, in Flowing Cloud City.
After several days of rest and construction, the current Flowing Cloud City was as solid as a rock.
Mu Mu's purification range also covered a larger surrounding area.
Inside the City Lord's Mansion.
After some thought, Ye Qing gathered everyone.
"The timing is about right."
Ye Qing looked at Lin Xueer, Su Chan, and the Sacred Academy elites, saying in a deep voice:
"We can't keep shrinking in our base."
"Now, Flowing Cloud City's construction is almost complete and can be considered safe enough."
"Pass down my order!"
Ye Qing waved his hand and gave the command:
"From now on, except for leaving some manpower to guard the city."
"The rest of the Cultivators, under the leadership of Xueer and Su Chan, will form a rescue army!"
"Advance towards the deeper parts of the Demon Domain Battlefield to the east!"
"Target—clear all Demon Puppets along the way!"
"Save all the cities, Sect forces, and surviving Cultivators encountered along the way!"
"Bring them all back safely to Flowing Cloud City!"
"Do you understand?"
