105: Chapter 105 Demon Burial Domain

Ten thousand miles north of Lifeng Plain and Thousand Thorn Plain!

Deep within the endless sea of sand lay a forbidden land known to the world as the "Burial Demon Domain."

This place was shrouded in gray mist year-round, and its Spiritual Qi was sparse!

Rumor had it that during the ancient war between Righteous and Demonic paths, this was the site of the Heavenly Demon Palace, a demonic sect.

A great battle had reduced it to the ruins seen today!

However, the world did not know that deep within the gray mist, a thousand zhang underground, was hidden a magnificent palace built entirely of massive obsidian blocks.

Inside and outside the palace, countless figures dressed in black robes could be seen wandering about!

Judging by their attire, they were identical to the Blood Fiend, though his robes were slightly more exquisite.

At this moment, in a secret room in the deepest part of the palace.

"Buzz—!"

Two points of eerie green light suddenly flared up—cold, tyrannical, and filled with rage!

"Black Wind Valley... the Corpse-raising Ground... has been destroyed?"

"Could it be that 'they' noticed something?"

A raspy whisper stirred ripples of echoes within the secret room.

To him, the Corpse-raising Ground in Black Wind Valley was merely an insignificant link in his vast plan.

He had already prepared dozens of such arrangements, scattered in all directions. The loss of one was trivial,

But whether this meant the plan had been exposed was what was truly crucial!

"Demon Child!"

As the voice fell, a figure surfaced silently at the entrance of the secret room.

He appeared to be a young boy of only seven or eight, with a tender face, yet his skin was as pale as if it were drained of blood.

His entire body was covered in intricate black patterns that writhed like living things.

He knelt on one knee, his head bowed low.

"Master, Demon Child is here."

"The Black Wind Valley Corpse-raising Ground has been destroyed!"

"Go! Find out who did it. But remember, conceal your tracks. You are only to investigate, do not act blindly,

Lest you alert the enemy and draw the attention of those old fellows!"

"I obey your command."

The Demon Child was like a Puppet without any presence; upon receiving the order, he vanished completely.

Dead silence returned to the secret room!

"No matter who you are... to dare ruin my great undertaking..."

"When the day of my success comes, I will surely... extract your soul and refine your spirit, leaving you unable to live and unable to die!"

...

Although the operation in Black Wind Valley was completely ruined because of Chen Qingyuan, and even a Corpse-raising Ground was lost!

In other directions, progress was extremely smooth.

In the direction of Thousand Thorn Plain!

A group of Bandit Cultivators had also appeared mysteriously!

Under the leadership of a Foundation Establishment leader, several Spiritual Veins had been plundered within just a few days!

Batch after batch of Cultivator corpses and flesh, under the cover of night and sandstorms, were being secretly transported to the Burial Demon Domain.

And to the north!

The allied forces led by the Liu Family were the main force!

Four Foundation Establishment Cultivators hung high in the sky. Below them was a massive army of nearly three hundred Qi Refining Cultivators pieced together from families of all sizes and vassal forces.

The allied forces marched south with irresistible force, breaking through several of the Red Sand Gang's outer checkpoints and subordinate hills, their blades pointing directly at the Red Sand Gang's core heartland—Red Sand Valley.

At this moment, on a spiritual mountain that had just been conquered, only a thousand miles away from Red Sand Valley.

The person in charge of the Liu Family's operation, Senior Blood Fiend Liu Tian eagle, stood at the peak with his hands behind his back, looking down at the churning sea of clouds.

The mountain wind brushed past, his long robes fluttering lightly; his expression was entirely calm!

He was like a different person compared to his arrogant and unrestrained posture in the Family's main hall that day.

"Tap, tap..."

A series of steady footsteps sounded from behind him.

The newcomer was none other than Liu Tianxi, ranked eighth in the Liu Family's 'Tian' generation, and also a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!

He stopped three steps behind Liu Tian eagle.

"Third Brother, the battlefield has been cleared. All... all the corpses have been handed over to 'those people' to be transported away as agreed."

"Mhm, and the items?"

Liu Tian eagle did not turn around, only giving a faint response.

Liu Tianxi immediately handed over a wooden box, but his face carried a hint of hesitation, his lips twitching slightly.

He casually took the box!

"Speak. It's just us two brothers here. What else is there?"

Liu Tianxi took a deep breath and said in a low voice,

"Third Brother... also... it's that Granduncle secretly instructed Fifth Uncle,"

"To secretly select a batch of promising younger talents from the clan and quietly send them away. Their specific destination is likely known only to Granduncle and Fifth Uncle."

This time, Liu Tian eagle finally shook his head with a bitter smile,

"Granduncle's concerns are not without reason. Forget it, let him be."

Seeing that Liu Tian eagle seemed much easier to talk to today, Liu Tianxi finally couldn't help but ask the doubt that had been weighing on his heart for a long time,

"Third Brother, will we... will the Liu Family really be alright this time? Dealing with a tiger is like playing with fire, I always feel..."

His concerns were, in fact, no different from the old patriarch of the Liu Family!

This time!

Liu Tian eagle slowly turned around. Instead of answering directly, he asked,

"Eighth Brother, do you know how many years it has been since our Lifeng Plain, along with the surrounding Thousand Thorn Plain, has produced a Purple Mansion Cultivator?"

His voice was very soft, yet it sounded like a clap of thunder in Liu Tianxi's heart.

"I've never heard of one!" Liu Tianxi shook his head blankly. "At least for these past few hundred years, it has been unheard of!"

"Yes... unheard of."

Liu Tian eagle looked up at the sky, his tone carrying a sense of desolation,

"Foundation Establishment gives over two hundred years of life, while Purple Mansion gives five hundred. If we don't have a Purple Mansion Cultivator overseeing us, when facing the person behind the Red Sand Gang,"

On what basis can my Liu Family stand? On what basis can we continue? On what basis can we win a glimmer of hope in this vast sea of sand?"

The three 'on what basis' left Liu Tianxi speechless for a moment!

At this moment, Liu Tian eagle's eyes were as sharp as a falcon's, piercing straight at Liu Tianxi,

"I don't know if this path is right or wrong, and I certainly don't know where the future of my Liu Family lies."

"But I know very well that if we don't do something now, if we don't take a gamble,"

The only thing waiting for the Liu Family, besides perishing in silence and being completely swallowed by this sea of sand, is that there will absolutely be no second path to take!"

Liu Tianxi was intimidated by the desperate determination in his words, and his throat felt a bit dry,

"But Third Brother... what if, what if we really fail this time?"

"Then we cut our losses to survive!"

Liu Tian eagle said decisively, every word carrying a ruthless edge, as he looked at the allied Cultivators all over the mountain—including the Liu Family disciples—who were scavenging the spiritual mountain,

"When necessary, we will abandon them. We will discard all people and things that might become a burden! As long as I am still alive,"

As long as you are still alive—the Liu Family will never perish!"
