109: The Great Demon King has descended! The Crimson King?

"A Great Devil has descended. This Illusionary Realm is destined to become a living hell in the future!"

Wait, is it appropriate for you guys to be saying that?

Jiang Hao glanced speechlessly at the several Demon Sect Elders who looked like they were mourning the deceased.

That guy up front holding the Human Emperor Banner—doesn't it contain at least a million Souls?

"A Sunset Realm expert from the Penglai Immortal Sect fell? Didn't your two Sects already kill all the Peak Saint Rank experts from the other factions?"

Anyway, he was just an Honorary Elder. What did the death of someone from the Penglai Immortal Sect have to do with him?

Joining didn't mean he was a Penglai Person!

Jiang Hao looked at the dozen or so Demon Sect Elders in confusion.

The Bald, Burly Man finished another set of procedures and spoke:

"We Immortals of the Holy Sect do not care whether someone in the Illusionary Realm can Breakthrough to the Sunset Realm."

"After all, everything Cultivated by the beings in the Illusionary Realm is nothing but illusion. Even if they rise suddenly, they will be drowned in history!"

"However, the Fellow Immortals of the Penglai Immortal Sect are too narrow-minded and cannot stand to see any being rise up.

They often drag us along to carry out actions like wiping out entire Sects."

Hmm, normal. Jiang Hao often encountered this kind of trope when reading novels before.

But he still couldn't help but complain:

"Then the Disciples of the Wuxiang Sect are no different from the other demonic factions, are they?

They are all doing things that normal members of the Demonic Cult do!"

The Charming Woman smiled:

"Fellow Immortal, you jest. They have not yet broken the mystery of Reincarnation or Awakened their Past Wisdom.

Furthermore, when we undergo training in this Mortal World, shouldn't we act as we please and follow our true nature?"

So, the main point is hypocrisy, right?

"Where is that Immortal? I'll go take a look at what happened."

"We don't know!"

"Haven't seen him!"

Jiang Hao immediately clenched his fists, and veins popped up on his forehead.

He raised his fist with a smile, looking at them as if they were already dead.

The Chaos Law surged.

Black unknown matter permeated everything.

Even the Blood Rain in the sky seemed afraid to fall in this direction.

Seeing this, the Young Sect Master quickly added:

"Although the Small Immortal in the Illusionary Realm is generally weak, he is very good at hiding. If the Fellow Immortals of Penglai hadn't stopped us...

We would have destroyed the Illusionary Realm long ago, dug up the Small Immortal's body, and used it to return to the Immortal Realm!"

Fearing he might cause a major plot deviation, he speechlessly lowered his fist.

Jiang Hao suspected that the so-called Great Devil's Descent was related to his abnormal progression through the plot!

After all, the normal process should be that, while being Seal-ed...

...he would finally manage to join the Penglai Immortal Sect, complete missions, accumulate contributions, and get promoted to Inner Disciple.

Then The Great Devil Descends, and the entire Sect is wiped out!

This could also explain why the dozens of previous Blue Star Martial Artists, and many more, mostly died at the middle and low ranks.

"That makes sense! Everyone follows the same plot, slowly developing until the Middle Stage, and finally dying in the Great Devil's Plot-Kill."

"Because I started with Six Divine Items, became an Elder, and even went to wipe out a Demon Sect.

Did the early transition plot develop an irreparable huge loophole, forcing the Main Storyline to advance early?"

He looked at the dozen or so Demon Sect Elders who had started arguing about who had the strongest true body in the Immortal Realm.

"I'm returning to the Penglai Immortal Sect. Maybe I can find out something!"

A space gate appeared, and Jiang Hao pushed the door open and vanished.

The entire world turned grey and white.

The arguing Demon Sect Elders instantly fell silent.

Their faces were expressionless, and their eyes were hollow.

They all looked in unison at the spot where the space gate had disappeared.

A questioning voice came from their mouths:

"Chaos?"

---

Jiang Hao, who had specifically wandered around outside, discovered that this world truly had no Loose Cultivators or ordinary people!

"Too many people, so the Instance Dungeon couldn't be bothered to load them?"

Returning to his Elder's Residence, Jiang Hao called over the female Disciple who hadn't managed to buy clothes.

He threw out a few Rank Seven yuan crystals and asked:

"What happened earlier? Which Grand Elder fell?"

The female Disciple, smelling the scent of the High-Grade Spirit Stone with an intoxicated look, spoke in a trembling, floating tone:

"The Disciple only knows that an unknown Sunset Realm Great Expert appeared.

He ambushed the outgoing Grand Elder Old Ancestor Liu, and the two ultimately perished together!"

"Now the Sect Master has ordered the extermination of the entire clan of that Sunset Realm Great Expert."

Exterminate the entire clan? What about the Black Meteor that appeared earlier?

Jiang Hao's Space Law surged.

He looked directly at the Southern Desolate Land, billions of kilometers away.

The Primal Energy was completely silent, and Spatial Cracks were everywhere.

The intense pollution caused all living beings in the surrounding regions to perish completely!

"A false Destiny Star shouldn't have such strong combat power. Is this a Cutscene?"

And this was only because they fought in the high-altitude Stellar Wind Layer; otherwise, the entire Southern Desolate Land would have been ruined!

"The Black Meteor appeared in the East, which is the territory of the Penglai Immortal Sect!"

"The Great Devil Descends—does that mean it was just born?"

He took a step and arrived at the Sect Master's Great Hall.

"Elder Jiang, why have you come?"

The Sect Master seemed slightly surprised and quickly walked over, taking out a set of tea utensils.

"This is my treasured Spirit Tea. It has the effect of dissolving Heart Demons and increasing Comprehension Ability!

If it were anyone else, I wouldn't take out such excellent Tea Leaves!"

The Sect Master, his face full of flattery, began pouring the tea.

"Were all those people who ambushed Elder Liu truly dealt with?"

Jiang Hao, who took a small sip only to realize he wasn't cultured enough to describe the taste, put down the Teacup and struck first.

"I didn't expect Elder Jiang to care about this too? Rest assured, all close relatives of the Murderer have been properly handled!"

"However, the Black Meteor that appeared in the sky earlier, symbolizing the Great Devil's Descent, truly has nothing to do with our Sect!"

"The Grand Elders have already calculated and investigated all the newborns in the surrounding regions, and found no anomalies.

It's probably the Wuxiang Demon Sect up to some mischief again."

The Sect Master calmly drank his tea, acting as if even a catastrophe causing mass death was nothing to him.

You're just going to ignore it? Are you truly not afraid of retaliation?

Just as Jiang Hao was about to speak, he experienced a momentary trance, and it was as if time had been erased from the entire world.

The scenery before his eyes shifted.

The Chaos Law wrapped around him.

Checking himself, he found he was not Seal-ed.

Except that he had inexplicably appeared inside his own Palace.

"Hmm? It increased again?"

[Chaos Law 4% -> 5%] +

Jiang Hao narrowed his eyes and released his senses.

Standing nearby, hugging a Long Sword, was...

...the female Disciple who was once afraid of the heat, who had already Breakthrough to Rank Seven Peak and was ranked as a True Successor!

"King Crimson??"

Jiang Hao stood up in shock. Although he was happy to gain Mastery for free...

...this power to arbitrarily change time was a bit terrifying!

"Illusionary Realm, Dream Realm, or did the timeline really change?

Can a King Rank expert do that?"

The female Disciple, wearing neat True Successor Robes and impeccably dressed...

...didn't understand why Elder Jiang, who had been fine a second ago, suddenly stood up with a terrified expression.

Suddenly, Jiang Hao thought of something bad.

He hurriedly looked at the female Disciple nearby:

"How many years have passed since Elder Liu fell?"

"Huh?"

The female Disciple replied strangely, "Reporting to Elder Jiang, exactly thirty years have passed!"

Thirty years... If that Great Devil really was the Protagonist, they would probably be in the Sunset Realm by now and starting to plot some Shocking Conspiracy, right?

Jiang Hao took the roster of Disciples who had joined in the past thirty years, which the female Disciple handed him.

He casually asked:

"Have there been any famous Devil Heads recently?"

"There is one!"

The female Disciple said with a face full of fear:

"The youngest Grand Elder of the Wuxiang Demon Sect, who reached the Sunset Realm after only fifteen years of Cultivation!"

"I think he's called... Cai Aiwan?"
