Chapter 37: Transmitting to the Sect
In a secretive location within Wind Whisper Pavilion in Yunzhong City, Consort Mingyue was cultivating in a cross-legged position when her expression suddenly shifted, and a mirror the size of a palm appeared in her hand.
She pinched an incantation formula and pointed it towards the mirror, and an excited voice came out from the mirror.
"Reporting to the Palace Master, Lord Heijiao has located the exact position of the Demon Realm and is preparing to activate the Heavenly Dipper Realm-Breaking Grand Formation immediately to open the passage and welcome the descent of the Demon Gods."
Hearing the voice coming from the mirror, a gorgeous smile appeared on Consort Mingyue's face.
She muttered to herself.
"After preparing for more than a hundred years, the passage can finally be opened. Hopefully, no accidents will happen this time. As long as the Demon Clan Army descends, it will inevitably trigger turmoil in Yu Fantian, which is enough to keep Dao Saint Sect busy for a good while."
Consort Mingyue pointed with her finger and then spoke through a message transmission via the mirror.
"Pay attention to guard against the movements around Jingkong City, I will be right over."
"Understood."
After the call ended, Consort Mingyue shouted loudly outside.
"Come in."
Scarface quickly came before her and respectfully shouted.
"What are the Palace Master's instructions?"
"The passage is about to open, notify the people of the Li family, we are heading to Jingkong City immediately."
"Understood."
Scarface replied excitedly.
Soon, Consort Mingyue led four people and quickly sped towards outside the city.
After leaving the city, a group of people from the Li family had already been waiting outside, but the person in the lead was not the family head Li Jiuming, but a ruddy-faced old man.
The aura emanating from the old man was shockingly that of a Soul Transformation Cultivator.
This person was none other than the Li family Old Ancestor, Li Jiangxiong.
More than two hundred years ago, news of Li Jiangxiong's death had spread from the Li family.
However, no one knew that Li Jiangxiong was not only alive, but had also broken through to the Soul Transformation realm.
Seeing Consort Mingyue arrive, Li Jiangxiong quickly stepped forward and respectfully shouted.
"Greetings, Palace Master."
Consort Mingyue nodded in acknowledgment, then waved her right hand, and an exquisite flying boat appeared in mid-air.
"Let's go."
The group quickly boarded the flying boat and flew rapidly in the direction of Jingkong City.
About a thousand miles outside Jingkong City, Zhang Yuhe had been quietly following behind a cyan-robed Cultivator.
The talisman soldier transformed from a talisman paper was hidden within the shadow of a cyan-robed Cultivator.
This group of cyan-robed Cultivators slowly flew along the way, stopping from time to time to check the operational status of the warning Formation.
Zhang Yuhe was not in a hurry, he just followed at a moderate pace.
After a little less than half a day, this group of cyan-robed Cultivators finally finished checking the last warning Formation.
The leading cyan-robed Cultivator let out a gentle sigh of relief and then smiled as he said to the others.
"The inspection is finally complete, let's go, we're heading back."
Seeing the cyan-robed Cultivator fly towards Jingkong City, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
"Finally going back? We'll finally be able to see the situation in Jingkong City now."
He controlled the talisman soldier, closely following within the shadow.
Zhang Yuhe concealed his figure and split off a wisp of Divine Sense to observe the surroundings of the cyan-robed Cultivator through the talisman soldier.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the cyan-robed Cultivator appeared outside a city.
Zhang Yuhe looked forward through the talisman soldier, only to see three large characters, Jingkong City, vaguely visible above the city gate.
However, outside the city, he didn't see a single shadow of a person.
The bustling scene of people coming and going in other cities did not appear in this Jingkong City.
Not only could no figures be seen outside the city, but even the city gates of Jingkong City were tightly shut.
The entire Jingkong City invisibly exuded a trace of a bizarre aura.
When the leading cyan-robed Cultivator took out his identity token and transmitted a message, the tightly closed city gate slowly opened a crack.
The cyan-robed Cultivator passed through the city gate and quickly flew into the city, while Zhang Yuhe controlled the talisman soldier to closely follow in the shadow.
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a cold expression suddenly appeared.
Seeing this suddenly appearing middle-aged man, the cyan-robed Cultivator immediately shouted respectfully.
"Greetings, Sixth Uncle."
The middle-aged man nodded and then asked.
"Nothing went wrong, right?"
The leading cyan-robed Cultivator hurriedly replied.
"Reporting to Sixth Uncle, everything is normal outside, none of the warning Formations have been triggered."
"Good."
The middle-aged man took out a Formation Plate, inspected the group of cyan-robed Cultivators with it, and then said.
"Nothing more for you, all of you go back and rest."
"Understood."
Seeing that the cyan-robed Cultivator was about to leave, Zhang Yuhe's heart suddenly stirred.
He quietly controlled the talisman soldier to transfer beneath the shadow of the middle-aged man known as Sixth Uncle.
Although separated by a distance of over a thousand miles, Zhang Yuhe could not view this person's aura through the talisman soldier.
But obviously, this Sixth Uncle's status in the He family was much higher than those cyan-robed Cultivators earlier.
Zhang Yuhe thought that having the talisman soldier follow this person might reveal more information.
After the cyan-robed Cultivators left, the middle-aged man rose to his full height and flew towards a certain place in the city.
The talisman soldier closely followed behind the middle-aged man's shadow.
Zhang Yuhe looked into the city through the talisman soldier and saw that the streets of Jingkong City were completely devoid of human figures.
The entire Jingkong City was like a dead city.
Countless He family Cultivators seemed to be staying in their Cave Dwellings to cultivation, and wouldn't come out to walk around when nothing was going on.
"Huh? What is that?"
Suddenly, Zhang Yuhe discovered that the central area of the city was shrouded in a large expanse of black mist.
He carefully observed through the talisman soldier and saw a huge high platform looming faintly in the middle of the black mist.
One hundred and eight black pillars soaring into the sky were arranged sequentially around the high platform.
On top of the high platform, there was also a monster with horns sitting cross-legged in the middle.
Seeing this, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help feeling a jolt in his heart.
"It really is the Demon Race."
The Book Pavilion of Dao Saint Sect had a rich collection of books, including quite a few introductions about the Demon Race.
Although the talisman soldier only saw a rough projection, Zhang Yuhe could recognize at a glance that this projection sitting cross-legged on the high platform was a Demon Race.
According to the introduction in the books, the overall appearance of the Demon Race was not much different from the Human Race, except that they would have some special appendages.
For example, this monster projection with horns should be one of the Horned Demon Clan.
Zhang Yuhe quickly took out his identity jade token.
Since the Demon Race was truly discovered, he naturally had to transmit a message to the Sect.
Although only one Demon Race member was seen at present, the imagined scenario of the Demon Clan Army descending had not occurred.
But he certainly didn't have the idea of rushing over alone to eliminate demons.
The talisman soldier was too far away, and he couldn't sense the aura of the Demon Race.
Who knows what kind of strength this Demon Race member has?
What if it's a big BOSS? What should he do then?
It is still more reliable to transmit a message to the Sect and call for reinforcements.
Let everyone charge together if something happens; there's no need to show off alone.
Zhang Yuhe pinched the incantation formula and pointed into the jade token. Before long, Lu Mingfang's familiar voice came from the jade token.
"What is it?"
"Reporting to Elder, this disciple discovered a Demon Race member in Yunzhong Prefecture."
Hearing this, Lu Mingfang stood up sternly.
"Where did you discover the Demon Race? Are they alive or dead? Are you sure you didn't misidentify?"
It was Zhang Yuhe's first time stepping out of the mountain gate, so Lu Mingfang was somewhat worried that he lacked experience and might misidentify the Demon Race.
It was better to confirm it, otherwise, if a blunder happened, it would be a joke.
Moreover, Demon Race members are not necessarily all alive. After all, ten thousand years have passed, and the lifespan of the Demon Race is not infinite.
Even if the originally invaded Demon Race was not wiped out, most of them had already passed away.
There really weren't many Demon Race members left alive in the entire Yu Fantian.
Therefore, he needed to confirm with Zhang Yuhe. If it was a dead Demon Race member, he could just bring the corpse back directly.
Hearing Lu Mingfang's continuous questions, Zhang Yuhe answered clearly.
"Alive, I won't make a mistake. It is a Horned Demon Clan member, right in Jingkong City of Yunzhong Prefecture."
"Right, besides the Demon Race, a strange altar was set up by someone in Jingkong City at some point, with one hundred and eight black pillars erected around the altar. That Demon Race member is sitting cross-legged on the altar for an unknown purpose."
"Heavenly Dipper Realm-Breaking Grand Formation?"
After listening to Zhang Yuhe's description, Lu Mingfang's surprised voice came from the jade token.
Immediately after, Lu Mingfang said solemnly.
"Stay where you are and do not act rashly. I will send people over to support you immediately."
