He handed a fragmented Immortal Sword to the dark side’s clone; if encountered by a Third Rank Ancient Demon, the dark side’s clone could slay it.
After pleting these tasks, Li Hao enveloped the Primordial Spirit over the entire Holy Land, then planned to proceed to the mortal world to gather the people from the Dayu Divine Dynasty into the Holy Land.
"Haotian Venerate, something has happened."
Just as Li Hao was about to take action, the Medical Saint suddenly found Li Hao, his expression somewhat grave, saying: "I just received word that several small worlds have suffered attacks from Ancient Demons. I used the Thousand-faced Puppet, gifted to me by Saint Mo, to investigate the Ancient Hall, and encountered the retreating Source Ancestor and All Saints along the way."
"Saint Mo informed me that the Ancient Hall has been taken over by Ancient Demons, and the breach cannot be sealed; they have done their best."
Li Hao furrowed his brows, his mind racing, and asked: "Are there any larger ones among the Ancient Demons?"
The Medical Saint nodded, saying: "The Source Ancestor reported encountering Second-order Ancient Demons invading, which they couldn’t fend off, having lost the initiative, resulting in the fall of seven or eight Saints. Now they’re fleeing towards here, hoping we will put grievances aside and accept them."
"If the positions were exchanged, they might not necessarily accept us."
Li Hao sneered, profoundly dissatisfied with All Saints, saying: "Even if they are Second-order Ancient Demons, if they fully mit to sealing the breach, they can still block it. Those Second-order Ancient Demons can only enter one by one—kill them one by one as they e! Previously, I’ve already informed them of the terrifying nature of Second-order Ancient Demons, yet they left only a portion to guard the breach, while the rest ran around heedlessly. In the end, they only realize pain when they feel the loss!"
Upon hearing this, the Medical Saint sighed inwardly; a few days ago, the Source Ancestor and All Saints were here with Li Hao seeking refuge, without any intention to resolve this issue.
However, understanding that this matter couldn’t be settled, she acknowledged that mistakes inevitably e with consequences.
Yet, it’s the people across all heavens who suffer.
Li Hao, seeing the Medical Saint’s hesitant expression, guessed she softened her stance and said nothing but:
"If they e, there should be Ancient Demons trailing them, right?"
The Medical Saint instinctively grasped Li Hao’s implication, and the trace of passion in her heart faded instantly, nodding: "Indeed, I’ve used the Thousand-faced Puppet to scout, and there are Ancient Demons pursuing them."
"Claiming to seek aid, yet drawing calamity here."
Li Hao shook his head slightly, having long lost hope in them; at this moment, he felt no disturbance at all.
He withdrew the Primordial Spirit enveloping the Saint Mountain, then stood atop the high sky at the mountain’s peak, having the Medical Saint indicate the direction, and quietly waited.
The Medical Saint was somewhat surprised upon seeing Li Hao’s actions, having expected him to turn away upon hearing this, only to find he stayed instead.
"Do you intend to assist them?"
The Medical Saint couldn’t help but ask.
Even as she perceived the intentions of All Saints and the Source Ancestor, part of her wished to turn away, yet Li Hao stopped.
"Keeping them alive, they might be of some use."
Li Hao stated simply.
Soon, a group of figures tore through the cracks in the heavens, continuously shifting towards them.
At this time, the Sword Master sensed the presence of All Saints, his figure flickering over to stand beside Li Hao atop the mountain.
"They..."
The Sword Master had barely begun speaking when he saw behind All Saints the gloomy void filled with rolling dark clouds sweeping towards them, his face changing dramatically.
Li Hao said nothing; instead, he slowly walked out of the Saint Mountain.
Meanwhile, leading the Source Ancestor and the Divine King ahead, noticing Li Hao’s figure, immediately increased their movement technique.
"Haotian Venerate, those behind us are Second-order Ancient Demons. We can’t hold them off alone; let’s join forces!"
Upon spotting Li Hao, the Source Ancestor urgently said.
His expression was anxious, yet within he felt clear as a mirror, recognizing that Li Hao would see through his ruse of leading the Ancient Demons here, fearing Li Hao’s wrath, thus pretending merely to seek part of Li Hao’s power to join in slaying demons.
The Divine King, unlike the Source Ancestor’s fondness for acting, bothered not to feign; he focused intently on Li Hao, waiting for his response.
Li Hao’s gaze swept past them, observing the Holy Master of Law and Name Saint among the Supreme Saints behind, appearing somewhat disheveled.
The remaining Saints had fluctuating presences, some looking spiritually exhausted, severely injured.
Roar!
At this moment, the roar of the Ancient Demons resonated through the void.
The entire space trembled slightly, as if converging an endless thunderstorm.
The people resting on Saint Mountain were all alerted, looking fearfully toward the source of the rumbling, spotting Li Hao, All Saints, and the Ancient Demons relentlessly closing in behind.
The number of Ancient Demons was vast, tallying to over a dozen, with four leading Second-order Ancient Demons.
This formation darkened the entire sky, the intense evil intent and soul-crushing aura gripped everyone on Saint Mountain, causing their skin to tighten and a chilling dread to descend from their feet to the crown of their heads.
"What, what kind of monsters are those?"
"Those are Ancient Demons, I’ve seen them before."
"Are those Ancient Demons hunting All Saints? Why did they drag these demons here?"
The people atop Saint Mountain were in terrified panic.
They realized their purpose of ing here was to evade the impending invasion of Ancient Demons, not expecting All Saints’ arrival to bring the demons along.
Now, the dozen or so Ancient Demons approached increasingly closer, the brutality and violence in the eyes of the four leading Second-order Ancient Demons suddenly held traces of gravity.
They faintly sensed, within that crowd ahead, a figure whose soul power was incredibly intense, distinct from everyone beside him.
"Join forces?"
Li Hao heard the Source Ancestor’s words, his lips curling into a sneer.
The hearts of the Source Ancestor and All Saints sank, thinking Li Hao refused to agree.
"Haotian Venerate..."
