551: Demon

Hua Ruofeng had not yet detected the intrusion. He stood focused before the Pill Furnace, fully absorbed, with a look of joy on his face at the imminent formation of the Pills.

With this bottle of Pills, he could at least increase his lifespan by more than a dozen years. By then, he could slowly find new talented children.

Just then, the door quietly opened, and the Black-Robed Man slowly walked into the room.

Yet, Hua Ruofeng, being in the Foundation Establishment Realm, still hadn't noticed.

It wasn't until he caught a glimpse of the other's presence out of the corner of his eye that Hua Ruofeng was suddenly startled.

"Who are you!"

His voice rose, his heart trembled, almost causing the power of the melting medicinal materials before him to go out of control.

He quickly steadied his mind, activated his magic art, suppressed the power in the Pill Furnace, and at the same time, channeled a wisp of his consciousness to activate the Magical Artifact in his storage ring.

It was a small bell-shaped Magical Artifact. As it appeared, it cast a magnificent golden light.

The golden light enveloped the area around Hua Ruofeng, appearing indestructible.

However, the Black-Robed Man did nothing, simply walking calmly towards the light shield.

Buzz—

The next second, the light shield rippled, completely unable to resist the other's steps.

He thus arrived before Hua Ruofeng without obstruction.

Hua Ruofeng's face changed drastically, a look of horror appeared, and he was so frightened that he didn't even have time to suppress the energy in the Pill Furnace, directly withdrawing to try and escape from here.

The other party was too terrifying.

Based on his years of intuition, escape was the only option.

Boom—

However, the next second, a pressure like a tidal wave crashed down, as if a mountain had smashed onto him.

Hua Ruofeng stumbled violently, his whole body collapsing to the ground.

He widened his eyes, as if struck by lightning.

"Golden Core..."

He seemed to have seen something terrifying, his voice trembling.

At this moment, beneath the black robe, a pair of dark green eyes gleamed. He shed his disguise, revealing the Demonic race who had appeared after Long Yu's death.

He had a Human Clan form, but his entire face was pale without a trace of blood, his skin shriveled, his eye sockets sunken, only a pair of dark green eyes gleamed with spirit, and the most peculiar feature was the pair of scarlet horns on his head.

It was as if all the blood in his body had been drained by those horns.

Seeing the other party for the first time, a feeling of despair immediately emerged in Hua Ruofeng's heart.

Demon Clan!

He didn't expect that there would be Demon Clan appearing in Jiang City!

He opened his mouth, wanting to make a sound, but was unable to.

He saw the man slightly raise his right hand, and a dark green light spot condensed at his fingertip.

"Don't."

Hua Ruofeng finally made a sound, but it was too late.

The dark green light spot instantly magnified, carrying a sharp aura, and shot out.

The next second, the light spot pierced through his head and landed in his Sea of Consciousness.

The originally calm Sea of Consciousness immediately became turbulent, with endless black qi emerging.

Hua Ruofeng's expression also changed from surprise to fear, until it became completely numb, losing his self-awareness.

A moment later, Hua Ruofeng came back to his senses, a bitter smile on his lips.

He had been converted into a Demon Cultivator.

At this moment, he would completely draw a line with the Human Clan and become a Demon Cultivator that everyone would hunt down.

Actually, this invasion carried self-awareness. He could have resisted by dying.

But if he were truly someone who wasn't afraid of death, he wouldn't have lived until now.

"Master!"

He quickly got up and knelt down to salute.

After being invaded by the Demon Clan, a trace of memory about the other party also appeared in his mind.

In the Demon Clan, they address their Master as Master.

So he respectfully addressed the other party.

"I want you to infiltrate the Zhou Family and slowly take control of this city." The Demonic race's hoarse voice slowly sounded, like the cries of evil souls from the Nine Nether Hell, shaking one's mind.

"Understood." Hua Ruofeng dared not disobey.

As for how to do it, he believed the other party would help him.

After doing this, the Demonic race turned and disappeared from the spot.

He walked out of this courtyard and quietly arrived at another residence.

There, there was also another Demonic race.

Compared to the other, he was more like a "person".

Wearing a white robe, his figure was tall and straight, his complexion ruddy, and even the horns on his head were hidden by his tied-up black hair.

"Aren't you worried about exposing the General's plan?" The other party sat leisurely on the large chair, casually raising the teacup and draining the bright red liquid inside.

"Hmph, that Zhou Luo has ruined my plans several times. If I don't teach him a lesson, I won't feel comfortable."

The man's voice was low, carrying a hidden anger.

Whether it was the Ice Snow Sect Disciple he had converted earlier, or Long Yu who was about to be converted later, the plans were exposed because of Zhou Luo.

Originally, these two chess pieces could have played important roles at certain critical moments.

Especially that Ice Snow Sect Disciple.

He was an important figure in the Ice Snow Sect's war against the Golden Cloud Domain Immortal Sect.

As a result, in order not to expose the plan, he had to eliminate this chess piece, greatly delaying the plan set by the General.

Last time, after seeing Long Yu killed, he originally wanted to chase after the other party and kill him to vent his hatred.

However, later, the other party's whereabouts were completely hidden, and he had no way of finding the other party's location.

Now, he and his companion came to Jiang City precisely to retaliate against the other party.

Hearing this, the other party smiled and shook his head: "You'd better not alarm the Azure Origin Sect higher-ups, otherwise if you ruin the General's important matter, neither of us will have an easy time."

Coming to Jiang City this time was part of the Demon Clan General's plan.

The purpose was to lure Azure Origin Sect Disciples to Jiang City and then convert them into Demon Cultivators.

This way, after they entered the Ancient Ruins, they could become a force for the Demon Clan, helping to seize that ancient magical treasure.

Of course, the Disciples who came must be the Sect's elites, at least those who have a chance to enter the Ancient Ruins.

So this time, the Demon Clan chose to create a disturbance in Jiang City.

They knew that many of the Zhou Family's children were in the Azure Origin Sect, and some of them were popular candidates to enter the Ancient Ruins this time.

"Don't worry." The man didn't care at all.

His plan was very covert, and it was gradual and steady, and would not alarm the Azure Origin Sect at all.

Moreover, his plan would only succeed at least after this Ancient Ruins event, which would not affect their plan at all.

"That's best. Get ready, they should be arriving soon." The man's eyes flickered with strange light as he placed the teacup down and chuckled softly.

Azure Origin Sect was not too far from Jiang City. A few days later, Zhou Changle received a letter from his Mother, Lin Xi.

"Demon Cultivators?"

Looking at the content above, Zhou Changle frowned slightly.

The appearance of Demon Cultivators meant that the Demon Clan was also in Jiang City.

This was not a small matter.

After much thought, he finally decided to personally go with Zhou Changqing.

Currently, they were the two strongest members of the Zhou Family in the Sect, and they should go and see, preferably to pull out the Demon Clan's nail in Jiang City.

Before leaving, he also reported this matter to the Sect and requested some treasures.

After all, this was considered eliminating demons and defending the Dao, which was the Sect's responsibility. It was reasonable to ask for some treasures.

In this regard, he had perfectly inherited Zhou Luo's strengths.
