758: Wake up, plan begins

Outside the palace where Lin Yun was located.

The Black Mist Lord and Blood Butterfly were silently walking towards the distance.

"Demon Lord, Lin Yun's situation... seems... a bit off," Blood Butterfly hesitated, stating her observation.

In response, the Black Mist Lord remained silent.

A look of incomprehensible contemplation appeared in the thick black mist where his face was hidden.

"Lord, there won't be any unexpected developments in this, right?!" Blood Butterfly asked with vigilance in her heart.

After all, the war that would decide the fate of the Demon Domain for the next ten thousand years was scheduled for the day after tomorrow!

The most crucial part of this plan was Lin Yun, and there couldn't be any mistakes!

"It's fine," the Black Mist Lord sneered, waving his hand dismissively. "If there's truly something about this Lin Yun that we can't control, can't we still use his parents as leverage?"

"Besides, his Demon Mark is already formed, and he's already under our control. Thinking any more is just overthinking!"

Finally, the Black Mist Lord spoke with apparent confidence.

Hearing this, Blood Butterfly paused slightly, then covered her mouth with a light laugh, also feeling that she was being overly suspicious.

What they relied on now wasn't just the lie that Lin Yun's parents were imprisoned by Kongtong Frost Snow.

If things truly became uncontrollable, bringing up his parents would be the best way to restrain him!

Parents versus a strange woman – this choice shouldn't be difficult for many people!

...

Wind and clouds turned into rain, grass and trees sprouted.

One day and two nights passed in a flash.

Deep within a mountain on the Five Spirits Continent where deer calls echoed.

In an open space where a small Array Formation was set up, the Sword Sect Sect Leader Wuxin Sword struggled to open his eyes.

He had slept, but he didn't feel the slightest bit rested. His only feeling was that this sleep had been extremely tiring!

It was as if an invisible pressure was pressing down on him, and he struggled desperately in his dream.

When he thought he had finally broken free from the dream, he suddenly realized that he was in another one of his dreams!

In such a desperate cycle of nightmares, Wuxin Sword endured until now, finally barely breaking free!

His fingers moved slightly, and he found that his body, because he hadn't used spiritual energy to promptly eliminate or suppress the Pill Poison within, was now fully affected by the poison's toxicity!

Every movement was accompanied by tearing muscle pain!

"Damn it, how long have I slept?" Wuxin Sword cursed inwardly, his heart sinking.

He moved his body with difficulty, the Middle-aged man struggling to correct his inverted head with the support of a large rock behind him.

Breathing with tremors, his gaze swept over the surrounding Disciples.

With this glance, his heart turned cold.

He saw that among these Disciples, those who had taken the poisonous pills and hadn't had time to detoxify, who had previously only suppressed it with spiritual energy, had all died from their bodies ulcerating!

During their deep sleep, the medicinal toxins had invaded the bodies of these Disciples, whose cultivation wasn't very profound, as if entering an uninhabited land, completely consuming them!

He glanced at Sect Leader Dao Fang Xiu beside him.

His condition was relatively much better.

The Dao Body Sect primarily cultivated body techniques, and he could resist the toxicity of the poisonous pills for quite some time simply by relying on his physical strength.

As Wuxin Sword watched, Sect Leader Dao Fang Xiu also moved his fingers slightly, reaching the point of waking up!

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Wuxin Sword and Sect Leader Dao Fang Xiu were both extremely gloomy, mobilizing the surrounding spiritual energy to repair the injuries within their bodies as much as possible.

"What exactly is going on? All of us, we slept for two days?!"

Wuxin Sword had rested for a while and had now barely stabilized the terrible situation in his body.

"It might be one of the effects of the Demon Pills, but not everyone took the Demon Pills, so this explanation doesn't quite hold up."

"A greater probability is that we encountered some terrifyingly powerful existence!"

"The other party didn't intend to take our lives, and we were unintentionally knocked out by them..."

Sect Leader Dao Fang Xiu could only guess this.

This was the most likely scenario he had thought of during his recovery time.

Looking at the Disciples who had died.

They had basically all died from the toxicity of the poisonous pills taking effect.

As for the Disciples who hadn't taken the poisonous pills, they were still alive and well at the moment.

However, having not eaten for two days and not yet reaching the Bigu Realm, coupled with the fact that many cultivation spiritual techniques on their bodies required a large amount of energy, their faces were all thin like awls.

If the other party had intended to take their lives, he definitely wouldn't be alive now!

"This is truly bad," Wuxin Sword gritted his teeth inwardly.

After this situation occurred, whether they could survive in this deep mountain teeming with spiritual beasts was something that was hard to say was fortunate or unfortunate.

Sect Leader Dao Fang Xiu didn't speak, closing his eyes to Cultivate.

Another half an hour passed.

The remaining soldiers led by the two Sect Leaders also woke up one by one.

"It's been two days. I wonder what the situation outside is like. I don't know if the Demon Path side has received the news of our previous defeat and departure."

"And these Demon Pills!"

After waking up.

Discovering that five or six more Disciples in the sect had died in their sleep due to the poisonous pills, his hatred for the things provided by the Demon Domain intensified!

"Let's go. We don't have time to slowly recuperate. The priority is to meet those Demon Path powerhouses from the Demon Domain and figure out what's going on with us!"

Wuxin Sword said this, and as soon as he finished speaking, Sect Leader Dao Fang Xiu also sighed and stood up: "Alas, let's go."

Being inexplicably knocked out in this deep mountain for a full day and two nights.

This mystery should logically be the first thing to solve.

But for them right now, what was even more important was still, where exactly was the problem with the garbage provided by the Demon Domain?!

Phoenix Feather Dynasty.

Today, everything was still as usual.

But two days ago, the Demon Domain Lord Yuan had already announced in the Demon Domain that he would completely overthrow the rule of the Phoenix Feather Dynasty today!

In the shadows.

Who knows how many hidden forces had already set up arrangements throughout the Imperial City!

For the ordinary people in the Imperial City, they would notice that in the past two days, there were quite a few unfamiliar faces in the city.

An atmosphere of Kill, an aura of killing, silently permeated the air!

A certain inn in the Imperial City.

More than a dozen presences with concealed auras were scattered among the surrounding dining tables.

These people seemed to have no connection whatsoever.

But looking at their concealed Demon Path aura, it was clear that they were all people of the Demon Path!

"Demon Child Prince, I believe you have already seen it, that is the Yunxue Tower."

Blood Butterfly, uncharacteristically, had wrapped her unrestrained body tightly, to minimize the attention of those around her.

However, the alluring, cat-like fragrance that occasionally emanated from her body still drew the sideways glances of passersby.

Sitting beside Blood Butterfly, Lin Yun was also arranged by the people of the Demon Path to wear a mask.

As the woman's words fell, Lin Yun's gaze looked towards the tall building in the distance.

The brand new building was adorned with crystal-clear glazed tiles, and precious ten-thousand-year-old sandalwood was used for its structure. Combined with the Array Formation of flying flowers and chirping birds, it drew in the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth, like a rainbow, standing tall as if it were the dwelling of a Celestial God!

In his daze, a memory he wished not to recall seemed to surface in Lin Yun's mind.
