751: Chao Muxi
Months later.
The events that transpired in the Three Great Domains spread, and all who heard the news, whether Cultivators or Great Demons, were inexplicably shaken.
An unknown emotion spread among the people and demons.
It turned out that even the Kunpeng Clan, one of the supreme overlords of the Demon Domain, could bleed and suffer setbacks.
It was as if the blazing sun that enveloped the Demon Domain had dimmed.
A small number of Cultivators vaguely developed certain thoughts.
But the vast majority of Cultivators quickly suppressed such emotions.
Only those equally lofty Immortal Sects or great clans could make an overlord like the Kunpeng suffer a setback.
This had nothing to do with them.
The Kunpeng were furious. It was said that several Old Ancestors, who had been in seclusion for countless years, had emerged and disappeared without a trace.
Days later, earth-shattering tremors resounded in the Western Region and the Eastern Barrens, causing celestial phenomena to change and the power of the Dao to become chaotic.
The commotion was too astonishing, but ordinary Cultivators and forces did not know exactly what had happened.
They did not know who the opposing party in the battle was.
They only guessed that it must be related to the ambush the Kunpeng Clan had previously suffered.
As time passed.
In the Demon Domain, a great clan with a Heavenly Demon overseeing it suddenly vanished.
Rumor has it that this clan belonged to the Golden Crow Clan, one of the five supreme races of the Demon Domain... In a void, an illusory palace flickered in and out of existence.
Above the palace, an ancient plaque hung, bearing the three ancient characters for Hall of Eternal Life.
Inside the Hall of Eternal Life.
There were still nine tall stone pillars.
There was still no figure on the Number One stone pillar.
Besides Number One, at this moment, there was still one figure missing from the other eight pillars.
“Everyone, it seems Number Six has already met with misfortune.”
“Hehe, the early bird catches the worm. I wonder which Fellow Daoist is so ruthless as to not even spare those of us who are fellow travelers?”
Inside the Hall of Eternal Life, on the Number Three pillar, a figure shrouded in mist chuckled softly, with unclear meaning, but his words were subtly pointed.
The members of the Hall of Eternal Life did not know each other's identities, but suspicions about each other's identities had always existed.
Number Three spoke, looking as if he was enjoying a good show, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
Upon hearing this, several figures on the stone pillars subtly glanced towards the Number Four stone pillar.
They had long suspected that both Number Four and Number Six were probably Heavenly Venerables of a certain Spirit Race in the Southern Domain.
Now that Number Six had met with an accident, Number Four was highly suspicious.
After all, they had all received gifts from the Immortal.
By harvesting other members, they could claim the gifts the other party had received as their own.
This was also why they dared not reveal their identities.
As for Number Three, who had spoken, although a few people were suspicious, it was not much. Number Three knew more about the secrets of the Eastern Barrens, and should be one of the Human Race Immortal Sects in the Eastern Barrens.
“What, are you all suspecting me?”
Number Four's voice sank, already angered.
Although he had an idea and acted on it, Number Six had already fled.
He hadn't even seen a glimpse of Number Six.
And now, he had to take the blame for this, which was simply trying to steal a chicken and losing the rice, how could he not be angry?
The mysterious figures on the stone pillars remained silent.
“Alright, with Number Six gone, the Hall of Eternal Life will naturally choose the next Number Six.”
“This accidental turn of events has stirred up the situation in the Lower Realm.”
“With such an effect, the Immortal will surely bestow rewards.”
Number Two spoke slowly, breaking the somewhat delicate atmosphere.
Hearing of the rewards, the mysterious figures were shaken, and joy appeared on their faces.
One of the Immortal's rewards was the power to avoid calamity.
Several of them were attracted by this; the power to avoid calamity meant life, meant Lifespan.
“However, now that the Kunpeng have suffered heavy losses, and although Number Six died, he did not die at the hands of the Kunpeng. Afterwards, the Kunpeng Clan will likely spare no effort to track down our whereabouts.”
“Everyone, conceal yourselves for now and await the next opportunity.”
Number Two was concise.
The figures in the palace had various thoughts in their hearts, but they did not refute anything.
Number Two was most deeply connected to this Hall of Eternal Life, and did not seem to be an existence from any of the four great domains of the Ancient Realm.
Regarding Number Two's words, several figures nodded in agreement.
A few breaths later.
The Hall of Eternal Life was once again empty and fell into silence... Western Region, Demon Domain, the territory of the Black Wing Ancient Demon Clan.
At the peak of the tall spirit peak revered as the Sacred Mountain by the Black Wing Ancient Demon Clan.
“Old Ancestor, was the Barren Horn Black Rhinoceros Clan really annihilated?”
Behind an old woman, Demon Lord Yifeng asked with a solemn expression.
The Barren Horn Black Rhinoceros Clan was quite strong, but their rise was not ancient, so they had always coveted the Black Wing Ancient Demon Clan.
If not for the Old Ancestor still being alive, the Barren Horn Black Rhinoceros Clan would probably have attacked long ago.
Now that they were suddenly annihilated, Demon Lord Yifeng felt a little emotional.
“Hmph, it's good that they were annihilated, saves this old fellow the trouble of making a trip myself.”
The old woman snorted coldly.
When she could no longer hold on, she would definitely choose an old friend to accompany her to the Yellow Springs.
“This matter is somewhat related to the Qingyang Zhou Clan where your daughter is...”
The old woman said softly, her expression slightly complex.
She was somewhat fortunate for her choice back then, and also somewhat regretful. If that little Infant had inherited her Legacy, perhaps things would have turned out even better.
“Xiao Yi...”
Demon Lord Yifeng's expression froze.
“Achoo!”
In the northern part of the Chaotic Sea, on Gui Zhou Island, a Black Small Beast with a pair of wings sneezed.
“Hmm~ Lao Chao, could it be that Little Chao is already impatient to see me?”
Chao Xiaoyi squatted on the shoulder of a handsome, immortal-like middle-aged man with a pale, beardless face and a distinguished demeanor, but a somewhat nervous expression.
Her round eyes constantly looked towards the secret chamber in front of them.
However, the secret chamber was closed, so nothing could be seen.
Chao Xiaoyi's question went unheard by Elder Beihai below her, who was clearly distracted.
Elder Beihai looked at the secret chamber with a nervous expression.
He and Fairy Qing Ruo had toiled for many years, finally achieving results ten months ago.
Today was the day for the fruit of their labor to be born.
Although Fairy Qing Ruo had already advanced to the Nascent Soul True Lord realm, there would be no danger.
But Elder Beihai's face still held an undisguised look of nervousness.
Chao Xiaoyi, who hadn't heard a reply for a while, tilted her head and looked at the handsome Cultivator beside her.
She pouted speechlessly.
Chao Xiaoyi sighed, turned her head, and looked at the secret chamber, longing to see inside.
Who knows how long passed.
Buzz~
A vibration startled Chao Xiaoyi.
In front, the secret chamber door slowly opened.
Several young women emerged from inside the secret chamber, one of them in the middle holding an Infant wrapped in spiritual light.
Elder Beihai's expression shook, and he quickly went to meet them.
“Congratulations, Elder, mother and daughter are safe.”
The young women who came out of the secret chamber bowed to the handsome man who had quickly walked forward.
“Good, good, good!”
Elder Beihai was overjoyed, and his heart suddenly relaxed.
Even Chao Xiaoyi on his shoulder subconsciously let out a sigh of relief.
Chao Xiaoyi's gaze dropped, landing on the Infant within the spiritual light, whose large, dark eyes stared out.
A girl... Chao Xiaoyi's heart stirred. Lao Chao and his wife had already chosen a name.
If it was a girl, she would be called Chao Muxi.
