The content in the Imprint Stone was a recording of Cultivators attempting to ambush two True Demon Clan mbers who appeared to hold the highest status.
The Yin Yang Immortal Pill was effective against them, but the two True Demon Clan mbers were too strong. They forcibly suppressed the pill’s effects and killed dozens of Heavenly Immortals in succession.
With such strength, they’re not much worse than I am. Are True Demon Clan mbers this terrifying? Chen Jiuge’s heart sank; he had underestimated the True Demon Clan’s strength.
"Master, those two were afraid of another ambush and have now hidden outside."
"Don’t worry about them. Since the few of you have returned, go and rest for a bit," Chen Jiuge said with a wave of his hand.
For the next seven days, the entire mountain forest seed very quiet, but everyone knew this was the calm before the storm. Given the strength and status of those two True Demon Clan mbers, they would not let this matter rest.
Standing on the valley cliff, Chen Jiuge said indifferently, "Now we just wait to see whose reinforcents arrive first."
「Seven days later」
"City Lord, soone from the Crystal Clan is asking to see you outside the valley."
The Crystal Clan? It seems the support Jing Wenshu ntioned has arrived, Chen Jiuge thought.
His complexion was like ruddy dates, and his limbs seed to glow. He walked in with six Short Spears slung diagonally across his back, resembling a domineering male lion. This Crystal Clan mber was powerful, certainly not soone Jing Wenshu could compare to.
"May I ask if you are the Asura Divine Son? I am Jing Gao of the Crystal Clan," the burly man greeted with a cupped-fist salute.
"You’re too kind, Fellow Daoist," Chen Jiuge replied, not putting on airs. This burly man might be no weaker than I am.
"Third Uncle, why have you co?" Jing Wenshu, who had arrived almost imdiately after, looked at the burly man with excitent, interrupting their conversation.
Looking at his nephew, whose injuries had not yet healed, Jing Gao frowned. "Tell what happened!"
Jing Wenshu, looking dejected, recounted their previous ordeal, emphasizing that Chen Jiuge had saved them. He was a man who clearly distinguished between gratitude and grudges.
"Thank you for your assistance, Divine Son. However, I will need to consider further the matter of jointly guarding the valley," Jing Gao said, his brow furrowed.
"Third Uncle, what do you an? You know the outside is teeming with True Demon Clan mbers!" Jing Wenshu exclaid, displeased.
"Silence!" Jing Gao snapped. After chiding Jing Wenshu, he turned to Chen Jiuge. "Divine Son, it’s not that I’m unwilling. The clan sent here for Law Crystals. I can’t just stay cooped up here indefinitely."
"Heh, I understand," Chen Jiuge said calmly. "However, Brother Jing Gao, if you’re not in a hurry, perhaps you could stay for a few days to observe the situation. Perhaps you’ll find that a good number of Law Crystals can be obtained here."
"How so?" Jing Gao asked, not understanding.
A tiny shadow slipped from the ground onto Chen Jiuge’s shoulder. It was a small figure with indiscernible facial features. It then opened its mouth and spat out a light screen.
Displayed on the light screen was a True Demon Clan army of several thousand, continuously advancing towards the valley. Judging by their current location, they would likely arrive within a few days.
"This is a special Spiritual Beast I’ve cultivated, specifically for scouting. This True Demon Clan army’s target is this very place. I wonder if Brother Jing Gao has any thoughts on the matter?" Chen Jiuge said with a smile.
Jing Gao fell silent for a mont before replying, "Then I’ll have to trouble you, Divine Son, to help settle my clansn."
"It’s no trouble at all, Brother Jing Gao. Just call Jiuge; ’Divine Son’ is too formal."
Following an Attendant to his own quarters, Jing Gao sat imposing on the main seat and looked at the three people before him. "How strong is the True Demon Clan?"
"We don’t know," Jing Wenshu replied honestly.
Jing Gao let out a dissatisfied "Hm?"
"Third Uncle, we really aren’t sure. The True Demon Clan mbers we encountered were likely just ordinary soldiers. At most, one of them could handle two of us. We didn’t encounter any of the stronger ones at all," Jing Wen said dejectedly, her head lowered.
"I told you all to cultivate diligently! And now? You can’t even scout out their strength properly," Jing Gao said, his disappointnt keen, like hating iron for not becoming steel.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.
A knock on the door interrupted them. Jing Qiang opened it to find a Female Cultivator of fine appearance standing outside. "Chief Steward Mo Yu, what brings you here?" he asked, sowhat surprised.
"Nothing much. This is so intelligence on the True Demon Clan my Master has for you. It’s not comprehensive, but it should provide so understanding," Mo Yu said nonchalantly.
After watching Jing Qiang accept the pure white Jade Scroll, Mo Yu departed without another word.
"Information on the True Demon Clan? Let see," Jing Gao said, sowhat surprised. This Asura Divine Son really is different.
Light screens played one after another, all depicting True Demon Clan mbers engaging in Fighting Techniques against other races.
After a full hour, a hint of gravity appeared on Jing Gao’s face. "It seems this True Demon Clan is indeed quite formidable."
"It looks like cooperation with the Asura is unavoidable," Jing Gao sighed.
"Third Uncle, this is also a good thing. At least we didn’t charge in blindly; otherwise, imagine the losses our clan would have suffered," Jing Wenshu said, trying to console him.
"That’s true."
Karen watched the approaching army, a faint smile touching his lips. However, before it could fully form, it was wiped away by the arrival of an oncoming figure.
"Hahaha, Karen! So even you have such days, getting thrashed and humiliated by so re prey!" The newcor was also an eight-eyed True Demon Clan mber, but with an even larger mouth, a more robust physique, and a more imposing aura.
"Luo Te, why are you here?" Karen asked, displeased.
"And why shouldn’t I be? I heard you were defeated, so I pulled so connections specifically to beco the Commander of this army. And now, you are my Deputy General," Luo Te said, producing a dark purple Token with a jeering look.
Karen’s hands clenched into tight fists. However, rembering military law, he could only helplessly relax his grip and kneel on one knee. "Greetings, General."
"Hahaha, rise. Tell what you know," Luo Te said, his expression one of pure satisfaction.
