Chapter 646: Chapter 573: Gentle Knife
The storm gradually abated, and the flowing fire within the earth veins slowly dried the dampness on the ground.
The sound of rain gradually ceased, and a clear light faintly penetrated the sky, pushing back the cool clouds.
The last drops on the eaves’ branches, reflecting the moonlight, seed like a thousand points of luminous light.
After a bleak rain in You City, one would not have expected to witness such a serene and beautiful scene in the Demon World.
Outside the Ti Platform, all mbers of the Demon Clan were fixated on the young man seated at the head of the Mo River.
The violent rain had washed over the old city of Mo City, but was the unchanging sky above this city finally about to change?
The Demon Lord had already left the scene. Not only had Mi Lu failed to obtain the power of the Six Rivers he craved, but he had also transford, pulling Shu Ci down from the Divine Altar to replace him.
Not to ntion, it was now difficult to find another opportunity to avenge the severed bones and wings by the Bronze Gate.
Now, as the first River Lord of the Demon World, even the Young Lords of the Demon Clan would have to pay their respects when they saw him.
Even the forsaken Qi Ren had damaged their foundation due to today’s battle.
Mi Lu’s mood grew even more irritable; how could he sit quietly at this banquet? With a stern face, he took Qi Ren and left the scene.
As key figures left one after another, such a grand ceremony inevitably turned cold and quiet.
Zangxin’s gaze was inscrutable, his eyes deep with Baili An’s silhouette reflected within them, suddenly he raised his glass and said solemnly, “Congratulations to River Lord Si Chen for erging as the leader today, for challenging the undying Mo River with a body yet to transcend tribulation and returning victorious. Are you not rightfully the foremost person to ever do so?”
Baili An looked up at him and said, “River Lord Erhe exaggerates. It was rely good luck, all thanks to Lord Shu Ci showing rcy, which allowed to sit here safely.”
Zangxin scrutinized him for a long while, then suddenly narrowed his eyes and smiled, “River Lord Si Chen resembles an old friend of mine.”
Hearing this, Baili An lifted his eyelids and stared at the mask on Zangxin’s face, his pale lips curving into a smile.
However, that smile contained not a hint of warmth.
“Whether it’s fortunate or not to beco an old friend of River Lord Zangxin, the story of Chang Huijun and Feng Qing has been entangled in the Mortal World for three thousand years, only recently coming to an end.”
Zangxin’s gaze darkened, and his laugh from beneath the mask grew eerier and deeper, “River Lord Si Chen speaks truly.”
At that mont, a Demon Guard rushed up to River Lord Erhe Zangxin and whispered sothing in his ear.
Zangxin’s voice was filled with surprise, “Such audacity? They’re really too bold.”
Baili An had no interest in matters of the Demon World, but Ning Feiyan spoke up, asking, “What happened?”
Zangxin caressed his mask, his tone playful yet tinted with a hint of icy murderous intent.
“It’s no secret, really. Just now, a covert informant in the city reported that in Mo City, the traces of Ye Lian and Jiachen from the Taixuan Nine Classics were discovered.
Suddenly, Hanwei from the Taixuan Nine Classics appeared in the demon temple, severely injured Suzerain Su Xi of the Five Rivers and wounded four Demon Generals. Amid a forceful encirclent, she escaped to Tian Gan Mountain with the injured Ye Lian and Jiachen.”
Speaking, he seed to sneer, “This Su Xi really seems increasingly incompetent, failing to kill Ye Lian in today’s battle, and even being wounded by Hanwei of the Taixuan Nine Classics, who ranks the lowest and has the least power.”
“Tian Gan Mountain?” Ning Feiyan looked puzzled and subconsciously looked towards Baili An, “I recall Tian Gan Mountain falls under the jurisdiction of the Six Rivers…”
Zangxin said, “Exactly, hence the Six Rivers have long been roaming the Mortal World, leaving no master to guard the mountain. Most barriers within the mountain are old and unusable. However, with River Lord Si Chen’s return today, perhaps it’s ti to take care of this matter.”
Ning Feiyan smiled, “River Lord Erhe seems to have a poor mory. Currently, River Lord Si Chen is no longer one of the Six Rivers, surely any matters concerning Tian Gan Mountain should be addressed by Lord Shu Ci.”
Zangxin glanced at her and said, “After this battle, Lord Shu Ci is still nursing his injuries…”
Baili An coughed softly twice, interrupting Zangxin, “River Lord Erhe, regarding the matter of Tian Gan Mountain, I am powerless to intervene. Now that the weather is clear, unless there’s sothing else, please excuse .”
What kind of day is today, that even Sister Han even ca to the Demon World?
Baili An was still unclear about the situation in the Demon City of Ming Continent, but just considering the seventy-two Demon Generals of the Prison Law below, half of them had cultivation high enough to transcend tribulation.
Not to ntion the several mbers of Mo River and that Demon Lord who could slaughter without using a blade.
How could the people from the Immortal Sect who had exposed their tracks in the Demon World escape from this heavily surrounded crisis?
Ye Lian was reckless, but how could Sister Han, who had been in secluded cultivation for years, also start acting wildly and even wound Su Xi of the Five Rivers?
Baili An noticed Su Xi’s concern and value for Ye Lian; even if she hadn’t shown up, Su Xi had the ability to silently get Ye Lian and Jiachen out of the Demon World.
Although Baili An didn’t know where she had gotten the power to severely wound Su Xi, wasn’t this just well-aning but ultimately harmful?
One thing after another.
Baili An felt a particular headache.
Sister Han and the others trapped on Tian Gan Mountain certainly needed rescue, but if he openly took on the task of eliminating the invaders at Tian Gan Mountain, who knew how many eyes within the Demon World would watch his every move.
Zangxin was very shrewd; his sudden appearance at the Monarch’s Return Banquet without reason could not help but arouse his suspicion. The latter’s request for Baili An to take care of Tian Gan Mountain might also have been a test.
At this mont, it was best to avoid suspicion and act secretly and discreetly instead.
The Monarch’s Return Banquet continued for three days, and each River Lord had their own private chambers for rest.
