Torn space crack

Inside the main hall, Old Ancestor Fang Quan rose, transformed into a streak of light, and vanished from his original spot.

As one of the three Human Race Saints, Ancestor Gu Yan's attitude, to some extent, concerned the future of the entire Human Race.

He had to figure out what was going on with this situation.

On the other side!

Ancestor Gu Yan was leading the high-ranking members of his sect to the Domain Lord's Inauguration Ceremony.

Along the way, his thoughts churned, and a deep look of surprise was evident in his eyes.

"What kind of existence do you think the Domain Lord is?"

On the long street, he looked at his grandson, Gu Changqing, and asked.

"This, grandson has not had any contact with the Domain Lord, only observed him from afar, so it is difficult to comment!"

Gu Changqing pondered for a moment before replying.

At this moment, after a little thought, he also understood why his ancestor had undergone such a significant change in attitude towards the Domain Lord.

Apparently, his ancestor suspected that the one who subjugated the demon race was the Domain Lord.

However, was the one who subjugated the demon race truly the Domain Lord?

Regarding this, he held a skeptical attitude.

He had seen Zhong Qing carrying two maidservants enjoying the scenery outside the city, and he had also seen him sitting in a small tavern in the north of the city for an entire day.

This Domain Lord seemed to prefer a life of drinking and merrymaking.

He felt somewhat like a young master.

Therefore, he found it difficult to connect this figure with the existence that subjugated the entire demon race.

Just as the grandfather and grandson were conversing.

Not far away in the void, a ripple suddenly appeared.

The figure of Ten Thousand Saints Gate's ancestor, Old Ancestor Fang Quan, stepped directly out of the void.

He blocked the group's path.

"Brother Gu, aren't you going to give me an explanation?"

Old Ancestor Fang Quan frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on Ancestor Gu Yan, who was at the head of the dozens of people in front of him.

"Brother Fang, you've come at just the right time!"

"I was just about to send you a message, asking you to join me in paying respects to the Domain Lord."

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Gu Yan's slightly furrowed brow deepened even further.

This guy!

Their previous strategy was to ignore, not respond to, and keep a distance from this Domain Lord.

This was an agreement between the two of them.

Now, he not only took the lead in violating their previous agreement but also wanted to invite him to pay respects to the Domain Lord together.

What was he thinking?

Ancestor Gu Yan clearly saw Old Ancestor Fang Quan's confusion.

"Brother Fang, this matter is of great importance and cannot be explained in a few words. How about we talk as we go?"

As he spoke, he extended an invitation for him to join them.

Old Ancestor Fang Quan pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I hope to hear a reasonable explanation!"

The group immediately rushed towards the Domain Lord's Inauguration Ceremony, which was being held in Tianxuan Square.

Along the way, Ancestor Gu Yan explained, "I know, Brother Fang, you must be blaming me now for violating our previous agreement."

"You and I have been friends for many years; you should know my character."

"It's not that I am fickle, but the situation has forced me to change!"

"Brother Gu, why do you say that?"

Old Ancestor Fang Quan and Ancestor Gu Yan walked side by side, turning their heads to look at each other upon hearing his words.

Ancestor Gu Yan took a deep breath.

That matter was simply too astonishing.

Even thinking about it now, he still found it incredibly unbelievable.

After calming his inner turmoil, he slowly said, "The demon race has been unified!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this!

Old Ancestor Fang Quan's pupils constricted, his body trembled, and even his white beard shook violently.

His face changed drastically, and he said urgently, "When did this happen?"

"More than three months ago, I just found out as well."

"Brother Fang should know what this unification of the demon race means for our Human Race."

Ten Thousand Saints Gate's ancestor, Old Ancestor Fang Quan, who had dealt with the demon race for so many years, naturally understood the implications.

Although the demon race had been in conflict with the Human Race before, the demon race itself had constant internal conflicts and had never jointly attacked the Human Race, which allowed the Human Race to maintain its current situation.

But the unification of the three continents' demon race!

If they were to launch a combined attack, the Human Race, with its current strength, would simply be unable to resist.

Thinking of the demon race's combined army attacking, his heart truly became extremely heavy.

At this moment, Ancestor Gu Yan continued, "According to the information I received, the one who subjugated the demon race is a Human Race member."

"Tell me, could this person be the Domain Lord?"

Upon hearing this, Ten Thousand Saints Gate's ancestor, Old Ancestor Fang Quan's despairing heart instantly felt as if a ray of light had been injected into it.

But soon, this light quickly dimmed again.

He smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "How could there be such a coincidence in the world?"

This one sentence made Ancestor Gu Yan fall silent instantly.

It seemed he had been too presumptuous!

For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat heavy.

A moment later, Ten Thousand Saints Gate's ancestor, Old Ancestor Fang Quan, said in a deep voice, "Regardless, with such an earth-shattering change happening to the demon race, our Human Race indeed needs to make changes as well!"

"Uniting all possible forces is the only way for our Human Race to seek a new path."

"So, whether it's him or not, we must make contact with that Domain Lord!"

At this moment, these two Human Race Saints once again formed a united front.

And just then.

The two Human Race Saints seemed to sense something.

They both looked up at the sky.

"This is..."

Ancestor Gu Yan's heart stirred.

He felt that space within the Profound Domain had been torn.

This tear was very subtle, almost imperceptible, and it closed again in an instant.

But how keen was the perception of a Saint-level expert?

He still clearly captured it.

Moreover, from that instant, he sensed a faint demonic aura.

"Tianxuan City is protected by a grand formation, which has the ability to lock space and automatically distinguish between Human Race and demon race members. If a demon race member intrudes, the formation will automatically activate, suppressing or even issuing an alarm."

"How could a demon possibly tear through Tianxuan City's space without a sound?"

He thought to himself.

"Could it be that my mind is too tense, and I misperceived?"

But the next moment, he saw Old Ancestor Fang Quan's slightly changed expression.

"You sensed it too!"

"Indeed!"

The exchange, however, caused the two Saints' hearts to sink.

If one person could have misperceived, then two Saints discovering the anomaly together confirmed that the trace of demonic aura just now was not an illusion.

There truly was a demon tearing through Tianxuan City's space just now.

It could even be that a demon had already infiltrated Tianxuan City.

Thinking of this, their hearts sank.

Without another word, their divine senses instantly extended outwards.

They enveloped the entire Tianxuan City.

However, the result of the divine sense search was that nothing was found.

This result only allowed for two possibilities.

One possibility was that no demons had entered Tianxuan City.

The other was that the intruder was more powerful than both of them and could completely evade their divine sense detection.

The former might be acceptable, but if it were the latter...

The severity of the situation would be unimaginable, as Tianxuan City was considered their last fortress for the Human Race in the Profound Domain.

Ancestor Gu Yan and Old Ancestor Fang Quan exchanged glances, both seeing boundless solemnity in each other's eyes.

At this moment, both of them had the same thought.

"We dare not gamble; we must treat this with the utmost seriousness. And regardless of whether a demon has entered Tianxuan City, the spatial rift just now is a fact!"
