256: Chapter 256: A Tremendous Change in the World, Discussions Held on the City Walls!

In the current Wilderness World, of the original fourteen Throne-level Great Demons, Yang Zhi and Yuan Shou have already fallen, and the Mistress of Lotus Nunnery was struck by Xiao Mo's sword, causing her realm to drop.

On the side of Tuoyue Mountain, currently only the Great Ancestor of Tuoyue Mountain, Zhou Mi of the Sea of Literature, and the Sword Immortal Liu Cha are visible on the surface.

However, Yang Simu knew very well that there must be other Ascension Realm Great Demons hidden within Tuoyue Mountain.

For example, Zhou Mi's first Disciple, the Thirteenth Realm Great Sword Immortal Shou Chen!

He was someone who could be ranked alongside Chen Pingan, with the title 'Shou Chen of the South, Hidden Official of the North'.

There were also two other Ascension Realm Great Demons, Guan Xiang and Chong Guang, both at the Peak of the Thirteenth Realm.

Although the three of them had not ascended to the fourteen thrones in the Heroic Spirits Hall of the Wilderness World,

being able to become Ascension Realm Great Demons was enough to prove their strength.

As for why the three had not appeared until now, Yang Simu guessed they must have received secret instructions from the Great Ancestor of Tuoyue Mountain to maintain the operation of the mountain-protecting formation within Tuoyue Mountain.

After all, every Ascension Realm Great Demon who had not yet shown their face was a trump card of Tuoyue Mountain, much like The Executioner and The Dreamer who were originally hidden beneath the ground of the Wilderness World.

Unless absolutely necessary, the Great Ancestor of Tuoyue Mountain naturally did not want to expose them.

At this moment, that grey-robed old man had to guard against the actions of the Old Blind Man, Xiao Mo, or the ancient gods, so he naturally didn't have much energy to maintain the mountain-protecting formation himself.

But even if they all appeared, the current situation of Tuoyue Mountain was still quite unfavorable.

On Yang Simu's side, there was not only the Old Blind Man but also the Ascension Realm Sword Cultivator Xiao Mo and the True Dragon Wang Zhu!

As well as The Executioner, The Resonator, The Dreamer, The Disruptor, and the Department of Thunder - Investigative Division—these five ancient gods of the Old Heavenly Court!

Now, if Li Liu and Ruan Xiu joined forces, they could also temporarily go toe-to-toe with an Ascension Realm expert.

The fourteen Throne-level Great Demons of the Wilderness World actually excluded the Great Ancestor of Tuoyue Mountain.

This was because the grey-robed old man had been the co-lord of the Wilderness for ten thousand years and was the controller of the Heroic Spirits Hall!

The other nine Throne-level Great Demons were Bai Ying, Fei Fei, Yao Jia, Huang Luan, Niu Dao, Qie Yun, Dragon Lord, Wu Yue, and an unnamed burly giant with three heads and six arms.

This burly giant had once been the first to step onto the top of the Great Wall of Sword Qi and survived a strike from the Grand Sword Immortal.

Because of this, he deliberately did not hide the sword scar on his chest, which was as deep as a ravine.

It was as if the giant was saying: 'I will smooth it over whenever I reclaim my dignity.'

But now, none of these nine Throne-level Great Demons could easily reach Tuoyue Mountain.

Because the Old Blind Man had already taken control of the fourteen Golden Body Puppets in the Hundred Thousand Mountains and had also called upon the Tender Daoist to intercept eight of the Throne-level Great Demons.

These fourteen Golden Body Puppets might not truly be able to defeat the eight Throne-level Great Demons.

After all, although these Golden Body Puppets possessed the might of the Ascension Realm, they could not compare to true Ascension Realm experts, let alone sustain a long-term battle.

However, temporarily slowing down the Throne-level Great Demons was quite easy.

For high-ranking demons like the Bone Demon Bai Ying, Fei Fei, and Yao Jia, or an Ascension Realm Sword Immortal like Dragon Lord, one Golden Body Puppet certainly wouldn't last long—so they would send two at once!

Even so, their numbers were still insufficient.

However, on the night before Yang Simu left the Great Wall of Sword Qi, he had discussed something with the Grand Sword Immortal in the old thatched hut atop the wall.

That was, in the future, once he initiated a Sword Inquiry against Tuoyue Mountain, the Grand Sword Immortal should remember to promptly send several Great Sword Immortals from the Great Wall of Sword Qi to assist him.

Furthermore, this matter had to be spoken in front of all the Great Sword Immortals.

Also, Great Sword Immortal Zuo You and the Hidden Official Xiao Ying must both be sent over.

When Grand Sword Immortal Chen Qingdu heard Yang Simu's words at the time, he almost thought that Yang Simu, who had just become his Disciple, had gone mad from sword practice!

One must know that the Great Wall of Sword Qi had stood guard for ten thousand years, and thousands upon thousands of Sword Cultivators had fallen at the hands of the Wilderness Demon Clan; the fields outside the city were filled with bones!

The Great Wall of Sword Qi never had burial mounds; the battlefield outside the wall was the largest cemetery.

Often, when an elderly Sword Cultivator with no hope of breaking through was about to die, they would resolutely charge into the demon army, strike with the strongest sword of their life, and then be killed by an even more powerful demon.

In the entire Great Wall of Sword Qi, how many people did not want to completely destroy Tuoyue Mountain?

But Chen Qingdu could not leave the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

As for the other Great Sword Immortals, whether it was Dong Sangeng or A Liang, who had already ascended to the Qingming World, none could strike down Tuoyue Mountain with their swords.

Moreover, at that time, Yang Simu had only recently achieved a Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage.

Chen Qingdu originally wanted to scold his Disciple, but seeing Yang Simu's incredibly serious gaze, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

However, the Grand Sword Immortal thought that since Yang Simu hadn't specified a time, perhaps he was just setting a goal for himself.

It might take decades or even centuries before he would perform a Sword Inquiry against Tuoyue Mountain.

Therefore, Chen Qingdu didn't think much of it at the time and only told him to practice his sword diligently.

But on the very day Yang Simu left the Great Wall of Sword Qi, the Lord of the Yeluo River in the Wilderness World, the Great Demon Yang Zhi, was slain in the Yeluo River!

Yang Zhi's lover, the Mountain-Moving Ape Ancestor Yuan Shou, whose true name was 'Zhu Yan', was also slain!

Two Throne-level Great Demons of the Wilderness World falling on the same day was an event enough to shock the entire world!

But that was not all.

One of the three moons of the Wilderness World, the Bright Moon Hao Cai, was struck down, and an ancient Sword Cultivator sleeping within the moon struck the Mistress of Lotus Nunnery with a sword, causing her to drop in realm!

Such an important matter was naturally rushed to the Great Wall of Sword Qi by the Private Swords of the Great Wall hidden within the Wilderness World.

In fact, even if those Private Swords hadn't sent word, the Ascension Realm Great Sword Immortals of the Great Wall of Sword Qi would have sensed it.

However, the news brought by those Private Swords was naturally more accurate.

One of them, an old Jade Purity Realm Sword Cultivator, was near the Yeluo River at the time.

The old man said he saw with his own eyes that man carrying two swords on his back, holding a lightning spear, piercing through the head of the Great Demon Yang Zhi!

This old Sword Cultivator had been hidden in the Wilderness World for decades, so he had never seen Yang Simu and naturally couldn't recognize his identity at the time.

When the old man heard that Yang Simu was the Disciple of the Grand Sword Immortal and had only broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage a few months ago, he absolutely refused to believe it.

The old Sword Cultivator vowed that Yang Simu's strike at that time definitely had the power of the Ascension Realm!

The other Sword Cultivators in the Great Wall of Sword Qi were also in disbelief.

Business in the city's taverns these days was several times better than before, as Sword Cultivators were all discussing this matter.

But most Sword Cultivators did not yet know that an even more shocking change was taking place at Tuoyue Mountain in the Wilderness World!

At this moment, Chen Qingdu once again gathered all the Great Sword Immortals for a discussion atop the wall.

The old man had thought that one day, Yang Simu would take his place to perform a Sword Inquiry against Tuoyue Mountain.

But the Grand Sword Immortal never imagined that this day would come so quickly!

"There's a big plot explosion coming soon, so the writing is a bit slow. There are many things to explain and set up in advance. I'll try my best to post two updates every day."
