462: Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!

A dark red demonic light abruptly halted in mid-air, revealing a Spirit Demon enveloped in demonic flames.

He was the leader of the Spirit Demon army, Demon Venerable Fen Huo.

"Ming Gang!

These humans are the prey of our Spirit Demons!

I advise you!

Don't try to snatch them from us!"

Seeing that the Li Demons had nearly slaughtered all the humans in Linmo City, Demon Venerable Fen Huo

immediately looked at Demon Venerable Ming Gang with displeasure.

Upon hearing this, Demon Venerable Ming Gang's Face turned fierce, his tone gloomy:

"What? Do you have a problem with that?"

"Of course I do!

Don't force me to take action!"

Demon Venerable Fen Huo extended his hand, coalescing a terrifying demonic flame, and spoke angrily.

"Both of you, stop arguing.

Our three great Demon Races have joined forces this time to attack the human territory; we must work together.

We cannot be defeated one by one like tens of thousands of years ago."

The leader of the Illusion Demon army, Demon Venerable Huan Hun, who had just arrived, quickly stepped between the two demons to prevent further conflict.

"For Huan Hun's sake, I'll let it slide!"

"Hmph, same here."

Soon, Demon Venerable Ming Gang and Demon Venerable Fen Huo ceased their dispute and flew directly to the city wall with Demon Venerable Huan Hun.

"Now that we've taken Linmo City, what should we do next?"

"For now, we should first gather information.

We can't be so reckless anymore.

Moreover, it's important to note that we cannot attack the Eastern Region for the time being.

We need to ally with the demonic Cultivators of the Eastern Region!

This is the Immortal Envoy's command."

Demon Venerable Huan Hun paused, then continued:

"However, even though the Immortal Envoy has given the order,

how could we Demons truly ally with human demonic Cultivators?

Once we crush the forces of the human Righteous Path,

it will be time to eliminate the Eastern Region's demonic Cultivators!

Then the human territory will be ours.

After dealing with the humans, the Yao Race, with their smaller numbers, will be nothing to fear!"

"I agree!

Especially you, Ming Gang, you should be more careful!

Don't just think with your fists.

If you ruin our Demon Race's grand plan to conquer the humans, can you bear the responsibility?"

A flicker of mockery crossed Demon Venerable Fen Huo's Face as he looked at Demon Venerable Ming Gang.

"Hmph, you're the ones full of schemes and plots.

I have no objections."

After speaking, Demon Venerable Ming Gang fell silent and said no more.

Moments later, Linmo City was completely occupied by the demon army.

The three Demon Venerables entered the city lord's mansion to discuss their next plans.

The remaining demons stationed themselves in the city, awaiting orders.

Thus, Linmo City, which had existed for tens of thousands of years, vanished in less than the time it takes an incense stick to burn.

And after tens of thousands of years, the passage from the Demon Domain to human territory reopened.

Endless Devilish Qi surged into the Southern Region, and the entire Southern Region began to tremble... A few days later.

Central Domain.

Second Layer of Taixuan Realm.

Discussion Peak.

Su Yun sat on the Holy Master's seat, eyes closed in cultivation.

Continuously refining the Power of Law within his body.

His cultivation had already reached the Peak of the third layer of the Enlightenment Realm and was still slowly rising.

Now, every half month, he had to come to the Council Hall once to listen to the Elders' reports on various affairs within the Holy Land.

And make some decisions.

Of course, usually the Elders only came to report every few months.

So he also came here to cultivate.

At that moment, a spatial fluctuation suddenly manifested nearby.

Immediately after, several Cultivators dressed in white abruptly appeared before Su Yun.

Su Yun, sensing something, opened his eyes.

"How did the investigation go?"

"Report, Holy Master. Regarding what you asked us to investigate—Cultivators who were abandoned in engagements, had their cultivation crippled, then suddenly rose to prominence,

and those ordinary Cultivators who suddenly rose to prominence,

as well as various other types of Cultivators.

We've investigated many times.

We haven't found many, only a handful.

Their information is all compiled in this Jade Slip!"

The leader of the Taixuan Guards, Commander Li, handed a Jade Slip to Su Yun.

Su Yun put away the Jade Slip and looked at Commander Li, who seemed somewhat anxious, feeling puzzled.

He had previously told the Taixuan Guards to take their time and report once a month was enough.

Why had they returned after only half a month?

"By the way, do you have something to report?

Why have you returned so early?"

"Holy Master, something terrible has happened!"

Hearing this, Commander Li quickly clasped his hands, his tone urgent.

"What happened?"

Seeing this, Su Yun's expression also turned grave.

The Taixuan Guards, as the covert guards trained by the Taixuan Holy Land,

were skilled in intelligence gathering, assassination, and other tasks.

So generally, they were experienced and well-informed.

They shouldn't be so panicked.

It could only mean something truly major had occurred.

"The Demon Race has broken the Seal.

Now half of the Southern Region has already been taken by the demons!

They've occupied..."

"What?

The Demon Race? Wasn't it said that the Immortals sealed the Demon Domain?

How could the Seal have been broken so suddenly?"

"We don't know. According to a message from a city lord before his death,

the Seal of the Demon Domain was suddenly shattered.

And the demon army emerged directly from the Demon Domain."

"The Seal was suddenly shattered?

It seems someone is behind this!"

A glint of sharp light flashed in Su Yun's eyes.

Connecting it to the movements of the Eastern Region's demonic Cultivators a few months ago,

and the Immortal Envoy from Jiyuan Palace that his Revered Master killed.

Right, the Immortal Envoy!

The Demon Race breaking the Seal must be due to the tricks that Jiyuan Palace Immortal Envoy was playing in the Haomiao Realm earlier.

"I understand the situation. You may leave now!

Rest up; you've worked hard during this time!"

"Yes, we obey the Holy Master's command."

The Taixuan Guards said respectfully, then transformed into streaks of white light and vanished on the spot.

Looking at the empty Council Hall,

Su Yun fell into deep thought, inwardly musing:

"Judging from all the circumstances, Jiyuan Palace's current objective is quite clear.

They want to throw the Haomiao Realm into chaos to achieve some goal of theirs.

Moreover, this is an open scheme; it simply cannot be stopped.

The demonic Cultivators, having lain low for thousands of years, definitely won't miss this chance to eliminate the Righteous Path forces.

As for the demons, needless to say.

But for now, investigating the situation in the Southern Region is the most urgent matter."

Thinking this, Su Yun focused his mind and sent a voice transmission to summon Elder Liu.

Soon, a streak of light flew from the distance, directly entering the Council Hall.

"Holy Master, what do you need from me?"

Liu Chengfeng bowed slightly, his tone respectful.

This month, he had watched Su Yun perfectly handle all the duties of the Holy Master.

So he genuinely recognized Su Yun as the new Holy Master.

"Elder Liu, the situation is urgent. The Demon Race..."

Su Yun briefly recounted what the Taixuan Guards had reported.

"What? The Demon Race has actually broken the Seal?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Chengfeng's expression also turned grave.

"What are your orders, Holy Master?"

"Immediately contact the Affiliated Sects in the Southern Region.

Also inquire with the other Holy Lands about the situation regarding the Demon Race breaking the Seal.

Notify Elder Piao Miao and Elder Zhong Yan to lead a group of Enlightenment Realm Elders and Holy Land Deaconss.

Prepare to go support the Affiliated Sects in the Southern Region.

For now, Elder Zhong Yan will lead the team.

During this time, I will be away for a while, first going to investigate the Southern Region!"

Su Yun's tone was firm.

His Parents-in-law were still in the Southern Region!

He definitely had to rush over immediately to rescue them.

"Holy Master, this absolutely cannot be done!

It's too dangerous!

The demon Cultivators are all incredibly powerful, especially the three ancient Demon Races: the Spirit Demons, Illusion Demons, and Li Demons.

These three Demon Races killed countless human powerhouses in ancient times.

If you go alone, it's too dangerous!

Why not take a few Elders with you to protect your safety.

Only then can we rest easy!"

Liu Chengfeng hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

The importance of all the Affiliated Sects combined couldn't compare to Su Yun alone.

They couldn't let Su Yun take such a risk directly!
