55: New events in the East China Sea Cold Pond!

On the other side.

After Lin Sheng returned to Tianyun Mountain, he saw Sheng Long'er sitting cross-legged above the crown of the Enlightenment Tree, watching the golden sea phenomenon in the sky gradually dissipate.

"Long Er." He called softly.

"Master? You're back!?"

Sheng Long'er's face lit up with joy, and she quickly flashed in front of Lin Sheng, looking him up and down with a beaming smile.

Checking if he was injured.

Lin Sheng chuckled softly as he patted her head, not wasting time, and directly took out the Heaven Opening Beast Soul Pill...

Soon.

The two of them quickly completed the entire process.

"That's great, Master! Now I can always stay by your side and always be useful!"

Sheng Long'er hopped and skipped happily, like a little girl in front of him. All the anxiety and inner turmoil she had felt during this time were swept away at this moment!

Lin Sheng crossed his arms, glanced indifferently at the few extra huts next to the small wooden house, and asked, "Are those all tidied up?"

"Yes."

Sheng Long'er nodded, "But it has nothing to do with me, it was tidied up by Master's maid."

"Oh."

....

[Ding!]

[No. 3 Heavenly Mandated Protagonist Lan Ao has triggered a life event!]

"Finally, it's here."

Lin Sheng sat on a thick branch of the Enlightenment Tree, not surprised by the system message that suddenly appeared before him.

At noon, he disrupted Lan Ao's plan and caused the Li Family's secret to be exposed prematurely.

After a whole afternoon of spreading, fermenting, and preparing, he believed that the East Sea cold pool must be very lively now.

It was basically impossible not to trigger an event.

[Event Name: Lan Ao Vows to "Revive the Demon Clan" and Establish the Myriad Demons Nation]

[Location: East Sea · Million-Year Cold Pool]

[Event Summary: The Li Family's secret shocked the entire cultivation world. The Three Great Immortal Dynasties did not want to get entangled with the Demon Clan again just for a single Li Family, so after a simple small meeting, they dispatched Immortal Lord Changqing to carry out the Immortal Court's orders.]

[They decided to make concessions to the Demon Clan.]

[The Myriad Demons Alliance is considered the representative of the Demon Clan in the East Sea.]

[Thus, with the help of Immortal Lord Changqing, the Myriad Demons Alliance rescued the Demon Pool Holy Mother and were promised all of the Li Family's resources in the East Sea.]

[Lan Ao, as the leader of the Myriad Demons Alliance, was full of vigor and spirit. He led the Demon Pool Holy Mother and shouted the slogan "Swear to Revive the Demon Clan" over the cold pool, intending to establish a Demon Clan nation in the East Sea—the Myriad Demons Nation.]

[Lan Ao, having lain dormant for ten years, startled the world with his first appearance before it.]

[He is not only the "Mysterious Leader of the Myriad Demons Alliance" but also became the "Guardian of the Demon Pool Holy Mother". By using the Demon Pool Holy Mother as a banner, he became widely known within the Demon Clan.]

[At the age of his early twenties, he became someone even the Immortal Court wanted to win over, hailed as the one "most likely to become the next Demon God"!]

At first glance, this event summary seemed to have nothing to do with Lin Sheng.

But if the timeline of the summary were extended further, Lin Sheng believed that demon nation would definitely come to deal with their Ten Thousand Beasts Holy Land.

One reason was because of Ye Liufeng.

With one failed plan, Lan Ao would inevitably have a second, a third... until he achieved what he desired.

The second reason was because of the "Demon God successor".

—Only cultivators with the "Demon God Holy Body" could possibly become the new generation's Demon God.

The news that he possessed the Demon God Holy Body was no secret; one would know by inquiring within the Ten Thousand Beasts Holy Land. And Lan Ao, whose dream was to "become a Demon God", would certainly not stand by and watch this heaven-defying competitor rise.

One must know.

Heavenly Mandated Protagonists are not all of the kind and righteous type; there are also realistic types who are decisive in killing and sacrificing individuals to save the majority.

Lan Ao, as a faction leader, is a typical example of the latter type.

[Beep! Officially entering the event!]

The scene before his eyes slowly unfolded.

The blue sky was boundless, the cold pool endless.

In a world like ice and snow, countless cultivators flew in the sky, as if discussing some important matter, and the scene was quite noisy.

Only Lin Sheng could hear the voices coming from within.

"I heard the Immortal Court has sent someone, haven't they arrived yet?"

"How would you know if they've arrived or not! That's an Immortal Lord, who has lived for so many years, you wouldn't know what their personality has become. Maybe they like to be low-key and are already mingling among us."

"Those great demons are all from the Myriad Demons Alliance, right? Almost all unfamiliar faces."

"Is that blue-haired young man at the very front their mysterious leader?"

"Alas, what the Li Family did... if the Demon Clan weren't currently fragmented, it would probably trigger a new round of war between the two races."

"......"

"Silence—"

A voice as refined as a scholar's suddenly entered everyone's ears.

The voice sounded neither far nor near, as if it was speaking to them while standing beside each person.

At the same time.

An invisible and intangible yet real oppressive aura descended upon everyone present, instantly silencing the originally noisy cold pool area.

An Immortal Lord!?

Has an Immortal Lord made a move!?

As everyone looked around, purple light suddenly surged above the snow island in the center of the cold pool!

A moment later.

Above the snow island, a handsome young man in a purple robe, about a hundred meters tall with a slight smile on his face, had appeared.

"A giant!?" Someone exclaimed.

"No, it's just a spell to make oneself bigger."

Immortal Lord Changqing had one hand behind his back, while the other held a fan painted with beautiful landscapes, which he fanned slowly. His eyes were narrowed, and he showed a gentle smile to everyone.

"Does anyone here want to transform? I can transform you, you know?"

"It's just a hundred high-grade spirit stones per transformation, hehehe..."

A strong wind stirred up the cold air from the cold pool.

Everyone watched him blankly while trembling.

This Immortal Lord...

Was he teasing them?

Seeing that he had caused the scene to become a bit awkward, Immortal Lord Changqing gave an awkward smile, then turned and cast his gaze towards the direction of the Myriad Demons Alliance.

Focusing his gaze on the blue-robed figure standing at the very front of the demons, he fanned his fan with a leisurely expression: "The Demon Clan is fragmented and operating independently, yet there is a force that has integrated the Demon Clan of the East Sea and formed the Myriad Demons Alliance."

"By the order of the Immortal Court, I shall rescue the Demon Pool Holy Mother and hand her over to you."

"As for how you discuss matters within the Demon Clan, that is the Demon Clan's business."

Everyone cast their gaze towards the blue-haired young man standing at the very front.

In fact, most people present did not know him.

"Who is that?"

"It must be the mysterious leader of the Myriad Demons Alliance. Didn't expect him to be so young though."

"What clan is he?"

"Who can tell? After taking human form, aren't they all just humans?"

Listening to the crowd's whispers.

Lan Ao, being stared at by countless eyes, suddenly revealed a faint smile.

In fact, he really hoped the other party would ask for his name.

After all, today was considered his first appearance before the world; he had always hidden his identity before.

Or perhaps?

Should he announce his name himself?

[Life choice triggered!]
