The Myriad Demon King Blood Bat chuckled and said, “Sect Leader Xiao, please honor our agreement. From now on, Myriad Demon Mountain will cease to exist, and it will become an important mountain gate within your Wind and Cloud Realm, named Wind and Cloud Mountain.
Do not forget what you promised, and the disciples of the Wind and Cloud Sect must not come to Myriad Demon Mountain for trials.”
Xiao Mowan nodded and said, “Myriad Demon King, please rest assured, I have long had this intention. Myriad Demon Mountain possesses great strength, and if it can be incorporated into my Wind and Cloud Realm, it will surely enhance our power. Moreover, forces such as Frozen Ice Mountain are eyeing us covetously, so this move is also a preemptive measure.
Even without the Ding Chunqiu incident, I would still intend to bring Myriad Demon Mountain into the Wind and Cloud Sect.”
Upon hearing this, the Myriad Demon King Blood Bat nodded in gratitude, “Thank you, Sect Leader. With the addition of Myriad Demon Mountain, the strength of the Wind and Cloud Sect will surely reach new heights.
My five great demon kings, plus myself, make a total of six, enough to make the Wind and Cloud Sect awe-inspiring in all directions.”
However, Xiao Mowan shook his head and sighed, “I always feel that the world of cultivation is turbulent. If the Nine Domains Continent cannot unite, I fear it will be swallowed by other continents.
I have heard that the demonic forces of the Profound Light Continent are growing stronger day by day. When that time comes, our Nine Domains Continent may face utter annihilation.”
The Myriad Demon King Blood Bat nodded in agreement, saying, “That is indeed the case. Take the Profound Light Continent as an example. Demonic forces run rampant, causing untold suffering, and they have repeatedly sought help from the outside world, but because of the long distance,
and the fact that other continents are each acting on their own and unwilling to take risks, the demonic path has become increasingly rampant in the Profound Light Continent. If this trend continues, it will inevitably affect our Nine Domains Continent.
Although the strength of the sects in our Nine Domains Continent is not weak, they are fighting on their own, which undoubtedly gives the demonic path an opportunity to exploit.”
Ding Wuyan coughed lightly, interrupting everyone's thoughts, and said, “The matter at hand still needs to be resolved, and increasing the strength of the sect should be the priority.
Once this crisis subsides, we will naturally be able to protect ourselves. I must return to seclusion to recuperate. I used the Mad Demon Battle Technique to deal with the traitor this time, and my injuries are quite severe.
As the sect leader, junior sister, you must properly reward this senior brother of yours.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mowan smiled slightly and said, “Senior brother, your use of the Mad Demon Battle Technique this time, although for breaking through the bottleneck of the Transformation God stage, was also for the greater good of the sect.
I naturally understand your good intentions. You have made no small contribution this time, so I have decided to appoint you as the sole Supreme Elder, ranking first in the Wind and Cloud Sect. Even if someone advances to the late Nascent Soul stage in the future, they will still be below you. What do you think?”
Ding Wuyan's face darkened slightly upon hearing this, and he joked, “Junior sister, I find that you are becoming more and more cunning. Where has my kind and gentle junior sister gone?”
The Myriad Demon King Blood Bat chuckled and said, “Actually, we all know that if we can discuss and explore each other, touching the threshold of the Transformation God stage is not impossible.
However, the path to Transformation God is like a chasm, and many heroes have fallen here. We still need to proceed with caution.”
Su Qiushui, who was standing aside, finally spoke, her tone tinged with dissatisfaction, “Master, so all of this was your plan.
You didn't even tell your disciple, almost scaring my soul out of my body.
If I had really fallen into the hands of that old demon, what would I have done? As the key link in this plan, I have made the greatest contribution, so Master, you must reward me well.”
Xiao Mowan spoke coldly, her voice revealing an unquestionable majesty, “You dead girl, all you know is to covet benefits. Where are my two disciples now? Tell me quickly!”
Su Qiushui's face changed, knowing that her master was angry, and she quickly replied, “Master, both of them are within your calculations, so nothing will definitely happen to them.”
“This was arranged by me, but the specific details of their involvement are not within my control. After all, we have been planning against the Joyous Bodhisattva, such a malignant tumor, for more than a decade.
And we only took in the two of them in the last few months. They are not the main part of my plan.” Xiao Mowan frowned, her voice even more stern.
Su Qiushui was immediately speechless and said, “Then where are they now? The Heavenly Demon Hall has also sent assassins to kill them, which I overlooked. Wind Spirit Rat, go find them immediately!”
The Wind Spirit Rat nodded and quickly flew in one direction, with the other three cultivators following closely behind.
The Myriad Demon King Blood Bat was curious as to what kind of genius disciples could make Xiao Mowan mobilize so many people.
He thought to himself that in order to eliminate a malignant tumor like the Joyous Bodhisattva, it was inevitable that some people would die.
At this time, Li Chengfeng was hiding in a pile of rocks hundreds of miles away. This place was far from the battlefield, but there was a nest of demon beasts in the distance.
That demon beast was a first-order demon beast, extremely ferocious. He and his junior sister Mu Xi were hiding in a simple shack built of stones, covered with weeds, which seemed simple but was very practical.
Li Chengfeng held his breath, constantly paying attention to the movements outside.
He sensed the aura of Nascent Soul stage cultivators colliding in the distance, but he did not release the Substitute Puppet, because he knew that in this kind of battle, releasing the puppet would undoubtedly be suicide.
He could only wait silently, believing that Xiao Mowan and the Wind and Cloud Sect would definitely have countermeasures.
His junior sister was lying in Li Chengfeng's arms, curled up like a kitten, sleeping soundly.
Li Chengfeng looked at her sleeping face, feeling a little helpless. He wanted to wake her up, but seeing her sleeping so soundly, he held back.
He waited silently, feeling curious about the battle situation in the distance, but also knowing that with his current strength, participating would only be suicide.
He considered his own safety, as well as his future. He believed that as long as he cultivated step by step, he would soon be able to reach that level, so why rush for the moment?
Li Chengfeng was also silently planning his own cultivation path in his heart.
He knew that if he continued to play it safe for another seven months, he would be able to reach the peak of the tenth level of Qi Refining. At that time, he would be able to use the resources of the Wind and Cloud Sect to enter the Foundation Establishment stage smoothly and flawlessly.
Furthermore, he planned to find an opportunity to condense the strongest Heavenly Astral Power of the Wind and Cloud Sect after Foundation Establishment. All of this was within his carefully laid out plan.
However, just as he was immersed in deducing his cultivation plan, a familiar aura suddenly struck.
The Wind Spirit Rat had already brought Xiao Mowan, Su Qiushui, the Myriad Demon King Blood Bat, and Ding Wuyan to his hiding place.
Their speed was extremely fast. By the time Li Chengfeng sensed their aura, they were already close at hand.
Li Chengfeng had long cast the Secret Technique of Tracking Subterfuge on them, trying to avoid their detection and also buy himself some time to prepare.
However, even if he used the secret technique, with his current strength, he still couldn't lay out preparations in advance. He could only pretend to be apprehensive, holding the talisman tightly in his hand, ready to activate it when the assassin arrived.
Although the traps he laid were clumsy, the several great cultivators couldn't help but laugh when they saw them.
They didn't expect that a small cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining could show such a state of mind and courage when facing the pursuit of the Heavenly Demon Hall. It was already very commendable.
Recalling themselves when they were at the third level of Qi Refining, they didn't have such wisdom and courage.
When Su Qiushui saw Mu Xi lying in Li Chengfeng's arms, her little face resting on his neck, sleeping sweetly and even drooling, she immediately said angrily, “Junior brother, you really know how to enjoy yourself!”
Seeing Li Chengfeng's nervous appearance, like a frightened bird, constantly scanning back and forth with the talisman in his hand, sometimes releasing it and then grasping it tightly,
she stepped forward, put her hands on her hips, and said to Li Chengfeng, “Li Xu, get out here! What have you done to your junior sister?”
