Half a month later.
Vast Central State.
The bodies of Jiang Shi and Daoist Master Xuan finally arrived here. Looking back, endless grasslands spread out in the distance, with the northernmost part being the location of the continuous glaciers.
"At last, we’re back."
Jiang Shi exhaled a long breath.
Traveling all the way from the Arctic Glacier was truly ti-consuming and labor-intensive.
"Let’s go to the nearby stronghold first, then use the Teleportation Array."
Jiang Shi stepped forward.
However, as soon as they arrived at the nearby city, Jiang Shi and Daoist Master Xuan quickly furrowed their brows.
The reason was none other than the presence of many unfamiliar races on the streets, vastly different from humans.
So were covered in scales, with large bodies. Others had golden skin, golden hair, and stood over three ters tall. Still others had pale faces and ghostly white bodies.
So even exuded a sinister aura, extrely peculiar.
"The Alien Races have erged..."
Jiang Shi’s heart tightened slightly.
Daoist Master Xuan’s gaze also darkened as he looked at these strange races, and he whispered, "From now on, I’m afraid this world is destined for unrest."
He didn’t know what kind of agreent had been reached between humans and these Alien Races previously, only that the nature of these Alien Races would never be content with peace.
Slaughter and bloodshed are already destined to be unavoidable!
The two n pondered for a mont and soon stepped away, heading toward the nearby stronghold of the Celestial Demon Sect.
In no ti.
Jiang Shi had already reached the stronghold, and after indicating his Token to the other party, they imdiately showed a respectful deanor and quickly led Jiang Shi and the others into a spacious room in the backyard.
"Saint Son, please get on, and let activate it!"
The person responded respectfully.
"Hmm."
Jiang Shi nodded and suddenly asked, "By the way, when did these Alien Races appear?"
"About half a month ago."
The person imdiately responded.
"Half a month ago?"
Jiang Shi frowned.
It was just as he left the Arctic Glacier.
"How many races have appeared in total?"
Jiang Shi inquired.
"I don’t know, there should be dozens. Initially, there were only four, but later it gradually increased."
The person responded.
"Didn’t they cause any trouble?"
Jiang Shi asked.
"To say they didn’t cause trouble is impossible, it’s just that it’s still within most people’s tolerance range."
The person smiled wryly.
"Okay then."
Jiang Shi nodded slightly and then stepped onto the Teleportation Array in front of him.
Daoist Master Xuan imdiately followed.
The person beside them imdiately placed his palm on, activating the Array with a roar. Blazing light burst out, a column of light soared into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, the bodies of Jiang Shi and the others had disappeared without a trace.
...
...
Within the Celestial Demon Sect.
A flash of light.
The bodies of Jiang Shi and his companion landed steadily, and after taking a look at the familiar surroundings, Jiang Shi took a step, heading outside.
Upon stepping out, they encountered many congregants who had rushed over after hearing the news.
When they saw Jiang Shi appear, they all cupped their fists in salute.
"Black Lotus Saint Child!"
"Where is the Sect Leader?"
Jiang Shi inquired.
"Black Lotus Saint Child, the Sect Leader was injured by an unknown expert more than ten days ago, and has been in closed-door recovery since then. Now, all matters within the Sect are handled by the Second Young Master."
The Hall Master at the forefront hurriedly clasped his hands and said.
Their hearts were filled with imnse reverence for Jiang Shi, as his status was by no ans inferior to their Sect Leader’s.
"The Sect Leader was injured? Who did it?"
Jiang Shi frowned.
"I don’t know, not even the Sect Leader elaborated."
The Hall Master’s expression changed as he said, "And after the Sect Leader was injured, our Celestial Demon Sect’s influence has contracted greatly, relinquishing most of the territory."
"I see. Take to see the Second Young Master!"
Jiang Shi stated.
"Yes, Black Lotus Saint Child!"
The Hall Master was very respectful and imdiately stood up to lead the way, heading into the distance.
Jiang Shi, without a word, and Daoist Master Xuan imdiately headed toward the distance.
In no ti.
Inside the Celestial Demon Hall.
Jiang Shi had already t with the Second Young Master, Ying Long.
The Second Young Master, Ying Long, upon seeing Jiang Shi, also had a slight change in expression. He quickly stood up and cupped his fists, saying, "Black Lotus Saint Child..."
"Where is the Sect Leader in seclusion? Take to see him."
Jiang Shi stated.
For so reason, as soon as he entered the Celestial Demon Hall, he keenly sensed an ominous presence, almost as if there was a faint breath of death in the air.
He knew this feeling was not baseless; it must be a forewarning detected by his newly acquired Talent of Foreknowledge. In other words, the Celestial Demon Sect was in danger.
Or perhaps the Celestial Demon Sect Leader was in danger.
"Black Lotus Saint Child, my father was previously attacked, severely injured, and is now in seclusion recovering from his injuries, seeing no one during this ti."
The Second Young Master, Ying Long, said.
"I know he’s injured. Where is he in seclusion? Take to see him; I can heal his wounds."
Jiang Shi spoke lowly.
"Black Lotus Saint Child, my father has his own secret healing technique and has repeatedly warned before, forbidding from disclosing his whereabouts to anyone..."
The Second Young Master, Ying Long, continued.
"Not even to ?"
Jiang Shi’s eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the Second Young Master, Ying Long.
The Second Young Master, Ying Long, imdiately had a slight change in expression.
Venerable Bai i, standing to the side, felt a chill in his heart. He imdiately took a step forward, blocked in front of Ying Long, stared directly at Jiang Shi, and said, "Black Lotus Saint Child, this is the Sect Leader’s command. Please follow the orders!"
"Is that so?"
Jiang Shi’s gaze remained unwavering, silently watching Venerable Bai i, as a mysterious ripple surged from deep within his eyes.
Buzz!
Venerable Bai i’s mind buzzed instantly. A loud roar filled his head. The world turned upside down, large patches of blankness appeared before him, and he felt as if his soul drifted outside, losing consciousness. His face beca blank and unmoving.
