"Fellow daoists..."
When the aged voice echoed in his heart, Shen Mo was initially horrified, but then imdiately felt relieved.
This must be a thod of the great Smoke Demon. This race is inherently proficient in Spells and Skills related to "Divinity," capable of absorbing the emotions and desires of other creatures as Cultivation Resources, quickly mastering the language, culture, and customs of a race, and even forcefully communicating with others’ minds!
However, judging from the reactions of Evil Demons throughout Golden Light Ridge, this great demon must have instantly transmitted its thoughts to everyone present.
Such an ability is quite impressive.
If it harbored malicious intent and transmitted demonic sounds and evil incantations, I’m afraid hundreds of thousands of Evil Demons on Golden Light Ridge would be mostly eradicated in an instant!
Fortunately, Shen Mo discovered that this "thought transmission" ability was one-way and couldn’t forcibly read his thoughts. Otherwise, this ability would be quite terrifying; no creature would have any secrets before it.
Naturally, this wasn’t sothing a re Class IV Smoke Demon could achieve.
Perhaps great Smoke Demons of a higher Realm and life level could simultaneously "listen" to the thoughts of hundreds of thousands of Evil Demons!
Shen Mo activated his Soul Magic, blocking the voice echoing in his mind. He then relaxed his guard slightly and continued to listen to the pronouncents of the Class IV Smoke Demon on the ridge.
At first, it said things like, "The world is changing, and our cultivation is not easy," which made Shen Mo sneer inwardly.
No matter how difficult, could it compare to the plight of the weak mortals in the Red Fla Zone?
First, they encountered the demonic calamity, devoured by Heavenly Demons as blood food. Then ca the world-upending changes, suffering calamities undeservedly. Once various demons and monsters had mostly descended, mortals beca their Cultivation Resources...
Then, this great Smoke Demon ntioned the current grand gathering, expressing contentnt and admiration for the "harmonious coexistence" between human evil cultivators and Outer Zone races.
However, it only touched upon this briefly before quickly moving on.
The more Shen Mo listened, the more he felt sothing was amiss.
This fiend was spinning its words, and between its pronouncents, there was an intent to gather all the Evil Demons in the world to establish a Demon Kingdom.
It had to be said, the Smoke Demon race indeed possessed unparalleled talent in manipulating people’s hearts.
It targeted different Outer Zone races, appealing to their distinct needs and desires, inciting them to the utmost, and elaborating on the various benefits for the Evil Demons present to dominate the Red Fla Zone.
If Shen Mo hadn’t been a disciple of the Immortal Path, and not the genuine "Blood Demon Patriarch," he too might have been passionately stirred by now, ready to follow these great demons and accomplish sothing world-changing!
"Just as expected, the mutual trading and discussions are rely the most superficial aspects of this demonic feast."
"Beyond this surface layer, the deeper aning is to gather the power of human evil cultivators and Outer Zone Demons, create a kingdom exclusively for Evil Demons, starting with Zhong State, gradually encroaching upon the entire Red Fla Country and its surrounding territories, eventually seizing the Red Fla Zone for themselves, treating all creatures within it as livestock and grain—to be taken, plundered, and consud at will..."
"However, with rely a few Class IV Demons and several hundred thousand Evil Demons, I’m afraid they can’t even swallow Zhong State!"
Two or three years ago, such a force, with this number of great demons, could naturally dominate a state and stand on equal footing with the Five Great Sects.
But tis have changed. Amidst the drastic upheaval, far too many forbidden lands, powerful creatures, and unknown entities have descended upon the Red Fla Zone.
Not to ntion terrifying existences like the Soaring Serpent, the Bizarre Dragon, and the Four-eyed Giant, the number of forbidden lands alone reaches into the hundreds, even thousands, and each forbidden land is inhabited by a type of Outer Zone race!
After becoming familiar with Flower Fairy Ami, according to her, every forbidden land must contain one or more beings of Class V or higher.
Only Class V creatures can Protect their kin during a "relocation."
In other words, if human immortals and mortals were to fall to such a state, they would require the protection of a Heavenly Monarch level expert to successfully descend to other realms and ensure the continuation of their race!
If an Outer Zone race lacked even a single Class V being, no matter how glorious or powerful it once was, it would be eliminated by various factors, leading to its extinction.
By this rough calculation, although the Class V creatures in the entire Red Fla Zone seldom appear, their numbers are not small.
With only the Evil Demons on Golden Light Ridge, they can’t even topple a single forbidden land, let alone occupy Zhong State and dominate the entire Red Fla Zone?
This much could be glimpsed from the fact that even though the creatures in Zhong State were devastated, many were still Protected by various forbidden lands.
Shen Mo’s thoughts began to diverge from this point.
Since his Basic Wisdom Destiny was upgraded to Purple quality, his thoughts beca as swift as lightning. Moreover, he could discern the significant from the minute, deducing the truth of matters from slight anomalies. To so extent, he had indeed achieved the state of being [Foresighted]!
Of course, he had not yet cultivated to immortality and was still rely a Spirit Sea Realm peak cultivator.
He couldn’t achieve the legendary state of "wisdom encompassing all things"; he could only predict general outcos based on known information.
Since... the overt Evil Demon forces and Class IV Demons on Golden Light Ridge alone couldn’t achieve their proclaid goal, then this matter warranted further contemplation.
These few great demons that had shown themselves were perhaps just pawns pushed to the forefront. There had to be even more powerful entities behind the scenes, driving the situation!
And those attending the demonic gathering included almost all the Outer Zone races that had descended upon the Red Fla Zone and been classified as demons and monsters by Immortal Path cultivators...
Shen Mo had reason to believe this wasn’t rely the sche of a few Outer Zone Demons like Thousand-eyed, Smoke Demon, Heavenly Demon, Human-faced Willow, Dark Shadow, and Parasitic Dwarf.
Rather, it was the collective will of the Protectors of the clans within those twenty percent of evil-aligned forbidden lands!
If this were truly the case, then the second layer of aning to the demonic feast—establishing a kingdom belonging to Evil Demons—was very likely still a facade to mislead outsiders.
The true intentions of the top existences in the forbidden lands, the Protectors of the Outer Zone Demons, might be hidden in a third layer, using the establishnt of a Demon Kingdom as a pretext to achieve so deeper sche!
The hundreds of thousands of Evil Demons on Golden Light Ridge were all rely pawns they manipulated.
As for the human evil cultivators, they didn’t even have a single Golden Core Realm expert, let alone a Divine Bridge Realm Heavenly Monarch capable of contending with the Protectors of the forbidden lands.
Their status was even lower than pawns; they were rely the most nurous group of cannon fodder, to be manipulated and controlled by others at will!
As the great Smoke Demon continued its incitent, Shen Mo’s premonition grew stronger. Simultaneously, the vast majority of evil cultivators and Outer Zone Demons beca agitated and clamorous; the Class IV Smoke Demon’s words were too inflammatory.
The Evil Demons attending the banquet on Golden Light Ridge either desired to indulge in extre pleasure or to strengthen themselves...
Regardless of their aim, once the Demon Kingdom was established and the billions of creatures in the Red Fla Zone were used as resources, their desires would be satisfied to the fullest extent!
This great Smoke Demon was clearly very pleased with its results. Its twisted, smoke-like body transford into a ferocious, awe-inspiring general radiating imnse killing intent. It then roared into the minds of hundreds of thousands of Evil Demons, "To establish the immortal kingdom, first destroy Yan Tianjing!"
Yan Tianjing was the Capital City of the Red Fla Country.
