314: Demonic troubles are everywhere

“You little brat, you’ve caused me a huge problem! Bringing them here has exposed my location…”

“You’re at the same level as him anyway, what are you panicking about? He can’t kill you, can he?”

“Xuan Ling indeed can’t kill me, but last time on the Void Realm Ancient Path, Xuan Ling and I had a falling out, and he acquired all of the Immortal and Demon Origin…”

At this point, Wan Hai suddenly realized something and stopped speaking immediately.

Chu Mo looked at Wan Hai: “Go on! Why did you stop?!”

Wan Hai did not speak again.

However, Chu Mo and the others suddenly saw a blur, and the surrounding scenery changed.

The place they were in was no longer Xuan Magnetic Mountain; it was the 99th floor of Tower of the Heavens. They were inexplicably sent to the 99th floor of Tower of the Heavens.

And, only Chu Mo heard Wan Hai’s voice in his ear.

“The Ten Thousand Tribulations Undying Celestial Art cannot be practiced. Even if it merely appears in your mind, you must find a way to eliminate it, otherwise, it will cause endless harm.”

It’s not in my mind anyway, so I’m not scared.

“Additionally, you must remember that Shen Qingqiu is extremely special. Even if it means sacrificing your life, you must protect him.”

I’m a Transmigrator too, you know? I’m special too!

“While you are also quite special, during the days I fought alongside the Devil Emperor, I saw many like you, and of course, I killed many as well.”

??? No, buddy.

“Next, I will fully restrain Xuan Ling. After the Void Realm Ancient Path opens, you must send Shen Qingqiu out of this world. Remember, it’s a must!!”

The Void Realm Ancient Path is the Path to Immortality; Chu Mo understood this, but what he couldn’t figure out was why Shen Qingqiu absolutely had to be sent away.

Furthermore, from Wan Hai’s words, it seemed he could currently only restrain Xuan Ling.

“Is it because Xuan Ling acquired all of the Immortal and Demon Origin last time?”

At this moment, Chu Mo thought of many things.

The people of this world were evolved from the remnant souls and Origin of two Emperor Weapon spirits after the Immortals and Demons died.

As for why.

It was probably for that Immortal and Demon Origin.

As for what the Immortal and Demon Origin was, Chu Mo hadn’t figured it out yet, but one thing was certain: the Immortal and Demon Origin greatly benefited the two Emperor Weapon spirits.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible for Wan Hai to be unable to defeat Xuan Ling due to just one instance of missing the Immortal and Demon Origin.

“Xuan Ling is no good, and Wan Hai is no good either…”

Chu Mo’s heart sank slightly; the more he thought, the more terrifying it became.

Wan Hai and Xuan Ling had a falling out on the Void Realm Ancient Path last time, but before that? Were they on the same side before their falling out?!

The Reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor and Devil Emperor was very likely something they made up to collect the Immortal and Demon Origin. But how exactly did these Puppets collect the Immortal and Demon Origin?

This, Chu Mo truly couldn’t figure out.

Rumble!

The ground suddenly shook violently.

It wasn’t just the ground beneath Chu Mo’s feet; the entire Xuanling Continent was shaking violently.

The earth cracked, and seawater poured in.

Smoke and dust billowed, obscuring the sky.

Throughout the entire Xuanling Continent, both ordinary people and Cultivators were in a state of unease, because the ground beneath their feet was shaking violently, and the sky was fluctuating up and down, as if the heavens were falling and the earth was rending, as if this world was about to experience an apocalypse-level catastrophe.

At this moment, Wan Hai’s vanished voice once again sounded in Chu Mo’s mind, and this time, his voice was incredibly joyful.

“Hahahaha! I guessed correctly! That Xuan Ling fellow doesn’t dare to fight me to the death. This Xuanling Continent isn’t his personal domain. If I’m truly pushed, I’ll overturn this continent that he evolved, turning his millions of years of planning into a fleeting dream.

Now, neither his main body nor mine can move carelessly, otherwise, it will cause the entire Xuanling Continent to collapse. This is all I can do. Before the Void Realm Ancient Path opens, I won’t let him free up his hands. You do your best to deal with the hidden pieces he left behind.”

Wan Hai’s voice completely disappeared.

Chu Mo’s expression was as dark as water.

Wan Hai was not to be trusted.

Although everything before had made Wan Hai seem extremely normal, it couldn’t change the fact that he had once allied with Xuan Ling.

Moreover, was what Wan Hai was saying now necessarily true? It might just be a trap, a huge trap.

Chu Mo’s eyes narrowed, then he looked at Shen Qingqiu, “Brother Shen, what do you think we should do now?!”

“Huh? How would I know?”

“Alright, I’ll listen to Brother Shen and remain still!”

“???”

........

Tower of the Heavens, 81st floor.

Chu Mo was reviewing documents.

A month ago, Wan Hai had selflessly gone to intercept Xuan Ling, and instructed Chu Mo to deal with the hidden pieces Xuan Ling had left behind.

Chu Mo did nothing.

For the past month, he had stayed in Luoshui City, handling city affairs, and hadn’t even left Tower of the Heavens.

“Yesterday, why did another thousand people mysteriously disappear? What exactly is going on?!”

Chu Mo slammed the document onto the desk.

Over the past month, more than a hundred thousand people had gone missing in Luoshui City.

The Demonic Cultivators in the city had all been dragged out, whipped, tortured, and had their souls searched; no one was refining the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Yes, it was the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

With so many people missing, what else could it be besides someone wanting to refine the Ten Thousand Souls Banner?!

But he had instructed countless people to investigate, and even his own Clone had gone down to look, yet they still hadn’t found any clues.

The door was pushed open.

It was Shen Qingqiu who entered.

He came this time to deliver a message from Xuanxiao Sect.

“Xiao Han, things are getting more and more unstable outside recently, with demonic troubles arising everywhere. The Sect’s intention is for us to return and discuss the matter of eradicating demons with other Sects.”

The demonic troubles here were not caused by rogue Demonic Cultivators. These were Lesser Demons that had suddenly appeared on the Xuanling Continent.

Lesser Demons were transformed from humans.

But as for the exact cause, they hadn’t figured it out.

They didn’t know, but Chu Mo did.

Once upon a time, he had overheard a foolish demon who had taken Possession of his Clone say something.

The Lustful Demoness had spent a great price to modify this world, causing most of the living beings on the Xuanling Continent to have deep-seated demonic roots.

The information also included finding the Reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor and making him fall into eternal depravity, with no chance of ever rising again.

This…

Chu Mo couldn’t help but laugh when he thought that there were over a dozen Reincarnations of the Heavenly Emperor in his Luoshui City.

“Xuan Ling and Wan Hai were partners before, but they later had a falling out. As for these Demon Race members, whose faction do they belong to? Xuan Ling’s or Wan Hai’s? But one thing is certain, no matter which side, these appearing Demon Race members are being played for fools!”

They didn’t even know that the Reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor was so common, yet they aimed to eliminate the other party; what else could they be but fools?

But the current demonic troubles.

Cannot be ignored.

“Xiao Han, Xiao Han. What are you thinking about? You’re so lost in thought?!”

Seeing Chu Mo lost in thought, Shen Qingqiu couldn’t help but call out to him twice.

“It’s nothing, I was just thinking if the Demon Attraction Incense I researched would work.”

Chu Mo handed a pitch-black stick of incense to Shen Qingqiu.

“This is…” Shen Qingqiu held it in his palm and sniffed it lightly. It had the exact same scent as the Lesser Demons.

Before Shen Qingqiu could ask, Chu Mo spoke first: “This is refined from the corpses of Lesser Demons. It can attract those Lesser Demons that haven’t yet transformed, causing them to transform into Lesser Demons ahead of time.”

This Demon Attraction Incense was refined by Chu Mo in Fishing Village before, and now it came in handy.
