Chapter 479 Biyun Sect Meeting Returns to the Demon Realm (Transitional Chapter)

The head of the Qingyun lineage, nominally in charge of general affairs.

His cultivation level was only at the peak of Core Formation, but his master was the only Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivator in the Qingyun lineage, and also one of the Supreme Elders of the Biyun Sect.

The extension of his power allowed him to secure his position.

However, being in the council hall at this moment, they dared not speak recklessly, as the overall strength of their Biyun Sect was far inferior to that of the five demonic sects.

There were only about thirty Nascent Soul cultivators, close to forty in total. Fifteen went to Ice River Pass, and in order to deal with the demonic invasion from Fengzhou and Shuiyunzhou, twelve Nascent Soul cultivators were dispatched in one go to lead tens of thousands of elites from various sects.

Excluding the garrison and surveillance of some core cities, there were less than ten Nascent Soul cultivators remaining at the Biyun Sect's mountain gate, and Wang Yu's victory in this battle almost wiped out a third of their strength.

The Blue Cloud lineage suffered even greater losses, with only one Nascent Soul cultivator escaping back. The Orange Cloud lineage fared even worse, with almost the entire army wiped out.

Its original top-ranking status has plummeted to the bottom.

Their nascent souls have been completely depleted; who can withstand that?

It would be impossible to recover without a thousand years of accumulation, which explains the somber atmosphere in the council hall.

In the silence, a white-haired elder couldn't help but say, "Before you set off, I repeatedly warned you to be careful of the demonic villains' attacks, but you ignored my words. Otherwise, how could you have fallen into the trap and been divided and defeated?"

The four who had managed to escape spoke up, their necks stiff with sarcasm.

“Ancestor, this matter should not be confused.”

"That Extreme Law Demon Lord once wiped out the Yuan family in Shuiyun Immortal Capital and killed Fellow Daoist Tang Yang in Kuangmei Mountain. I thought he would become an obstacle in the war at Binghe Pass."

"Who could have predicted his sneak attack? Besides... besides, in that situation, there was no way to detect it in advance. Our response speed and reaction were already at their peak."

"If I had to say... it's because the enemy was too strong, strong enough to crush ordinary great cultivators! Fellow Daoist Lan Xin was killed in a single exchange, how could that not be terrifying?"

The elders in the hall seemed to have never expected that the losers and younger generation in their eyes would shamelessly attribute the failure to the strength of the enemy.

"Is this what all four of you mean?"

They knew they would face questioning, but since someone had stepped in, they could only express their support and agree that the situation was indeed as described.

That kind of environment where the winds of spatial destruction rage.

It was no ordinary person who could have survived; the fact that they managed to save the elite members of their sects from two warships was already a tremendous achievement.

And so they all nodded in unison.

At that moment, the atmosphere in the council hall grew even colder.

The elders all had ashen faces. Some wanted to reprimand them, but were stopped by those around them. These older generation cultivators had a tacit understanding that the Biyun Sect was currently facing too much pressure.

One misstep could lead to annihilation.

The sect still needs their strength, so we can't hurt their pride too much.

Although they are both at the Nascent Soul stage, they are from different generations.

The disparity in strength is a real issue, and how to discuss the punishment will have to wait until after the war, which is commonly known as settling scores after the fact.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators do not have unlimited power.

Ultimately, the sect is still controlled by these old fogies.

"Since the matter has already occurred, there is no point in saying more. Let's talk about the Extreme Law Demon Lord first."

The Supreme Elder of Huang Yun's lineage stepped forward.

According to the order of the seven-colored cloud veins of the Biyun Sect, the Orange Cloud vein also suffered heavy losses this time. Although the Red Cloud vein is showing signs of recovery and prosperity, it has not yet recovered to its peak scale.

Huang Yun, the patriarch, was the one with the most influence at that time.

He said calmly.

"This person has committed such atrocities. The most urgent task is to contact the Sword Sect, place him in the top five of the Demon Extermination List, and call on all righteous experts in Taihu to hunt down this demon."

"Secondly, how he quickly traveled from Kuangmeishan to southern Fengzhou is also a point of doubt."

If one were to travel south through the territory of the Biyun Sect, it would not be entirely unobstructed. There would be detours due to some important cities along the way, which would take much longer.

Their journey began when the main force of the Red Iris army chose to head north.

It took only a few days to prepare and half a month to reach the southern part of Fengzhou from Bingyuanzhou. Such a rapid march, coupled with such a powerful force.

He couldn't understand how he could be robbed and killed.

Especially since there was only one person, he didn't believe that Wang Yu was really as terrifying as these people said; it was just nonsense!

so.

He suspected that some other force had become Wang Yu's ally.

"Two possibilities."

"This is what the Supreme Elder of the Green Cloud lineage said."

"First, there is an inside agent of the Extreme Law Demon Lord among the high-ranking members of the Biyun Sect, who can accurately control our team's route and set traps. We can send someone to check those ancient teleportation arrays that can reach the southern part of Fengzhou."

"Secondly, he used the route through the Northern Demon Clan to travel unimpeded south from their territory, which allowed him to set up an ambush in advance, since the Northern Demon Clan has an alliance with us."

"Perhaps we could send someone to inquire about it. After the assassination, the Extreme Law Demon Lord disappeared without a trace. His ability to hide should not be underestimated. Perhaps we should ask the Soul Spirit Lord of the Purple Cloud lineage to take action."

"Of course, I am more inclined to believe that those demons are behind it. These wicked creatures and wolves have long wanted to break through the shackles of the Broken Boundary Mountains and expand their territory in the outside world."

He poured out all his thoughts in one breath, and the council hall fell into deep thought. Soon after, discussions arose.

“What Ancestor Huang Yun said is true. I heard that before the year 60, the demon race in the north elected a new generation of Holy Lord. With a unified voice, it is inevitable that they will have ambitions to expand.”

"Absolutely, absolutely. Then let's do as Ancestor Huangyun wishes."

"Let's send someone to the northern demon tribes to ask them first."

Just then.

"It was said by a Nascent Soul cultivator who had managed to escape."

"I suddenly remembered that Wang Yu once transformed into another physical form, with black horns and dragon eyes, and exuded a peculiar dragon aura. Although it did not resemble demonic power, it was very similar to the form of Tangyang Demon Lord."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall was stunned.

"Could it be... that he is also a half-demon?"

The elders scolded him, clearly disappointed in his son.

"Why wasn't this important information revealed sooner?! If it's true as we suspect, then the Demon Lord of Extreme Law has probably hidden in the heart of the Northern Demon Clan."

As the saying goes, nothing is more coincidental than a story. The reasoning process of the Biyun Sect's higher-ups was ridiculously wrong, but the result was a lucky guess. There are quite a few techniques and secret arts in the Ice Prison Realm that can change the physical form.

However, abilities brought about by spiritual entities like the Heavenly Demon Transformation are indeed very rare, since it is a change that begins with bloodline.

In his extreme Yin Dragon Body state, Wang Yu was indeed no longer human.

It is the pure Yin Dragon King!

It is a living weapon developed by an ancient immortal dynasty, and it is also a cultivation resource for Nascent Soul cultivators. It has many uses, and its enhancement effect on Wang Yu should last until after he reaches the Nascent Soul stage before gradually losing its effect.

The discussion about the Azure Cloud Sect gradually came to an end.

In the end, they decided to send someone to the Northern Demon Clan to find out what was going on. If Wang Yu was there, they would privately ask the Five-Colored Holy Lord for the man.

Whether they agree or not, it will indirectly prove their speculations, and then there will be a plan for how to deal with it, instead of just talking about it.

…………

…………

The heartland of the northern demon tribes.

Near the Ancient Beast Ancestral Mountain, beneath the Heart Beast Tower, Wang Yu, along with Dou Zhao and Xue Yu, was leisurely playing chess with an old friend.

Lei Yao called this person Third Master. His fourth brother was the guardian spirit beast of Lei Huo Temple, so they were connected by a relationship, and Wang Yu also called him Third Master.

Even though he was now strong enough to kill this ancient bird demon of unknown species, he still maintained his respect.

"You terrible chess player!"

"Not enough at all."

Sweeping the black pieces into the chess box, Wang Yu was slightly embarrassed. His chess skills were indeed mediocre, but not to the point of being called a terrible chess player.

He then offered his explanation.

"Third Master, the rules of chess here are just like the village rules. How can you give someone a point if the pieces aren't even placed on the board? Isn't that cheating?"

"Mind your own business."

After Wang Yu said that, the old bird demon stopped being so arrogant and instead became smug.

"Hmph, the Supreme Law Profound Pill Demon Lord, who is so powerful in the outside world, is still outmatched by me in chess. Doesn't that prove that I am very strong!"

Wang Yu was speechless, while Xue Yu and Dou Zhao were secretly laughing.

He played chess with Third Master not out of boredom or to kill time.

The main reason is that he had just taken the Blood Infant Pill refined by Tang Yang Demon Lord not long ago, and he could not take another one in the short term, so he came directly to the Heart Beast Tower.

The intention was to have Dou Zhao and Xue Yu venture into the Ancient Beast Ancestor Mountain.

The latter, in particular, should be able to reap considerable rewards, while Dou Zhao is merely an afterthought. Even if he cannot reach the top, he can still gain a lot from those tiered platforms.

He only played chess with Third Master because he wasn't that bored.

However, "getting what you want" put Wang Yu ahead of everyone else.

Third Master waved his hand magnanimously and said, "Go ahead and explore the mountains, you two little girls. I will have someone look after you, and there will be absolutely no problems."

"Thank you, senior."

"Thank you, Third Master."

After the two women expressed their gratitude, they flew towards the Ancient Beast Ancestral Mountain. Seeing this, the old bird demon secretly winked at Wang Yu.

"You little rascal, you're a carbon copy of my fourth brother, enjoying the good fortune of having two women at once!"

Wang Yu also raised an eyebrow.

"The demons of the North are quite skilled in cultivating the arts of human desire. When we arrived, we noticed that both male and female demons had taken in quite a few human pets. Are they for eating?"

This is not the same as that kind of eating; only those who know the intricacies can understand it.

The old, lewd bird demon immediately changed the subject.

"There's no Demon King's Banquet for you this time. You've come to seek refuge?"

"Why are you saying such harsh things? I've come to the demon race to save them from their suffering. Don't you welcome a top-tier fourth-order alchemist?"

The old bird demon was taken aback and exclaimed in surprise.

"You've made another breakthrough in alchemy. Your talent is truly heaven-defying. Not only has your cultivation progressed rapidly, but you've also achieved such mastery in alchemy."

"It seems that we older generation have been eliminated, and the future belongs to you young people."

Wang Yu shook his head, saying meaningfully.

"That's not necessarily true. In recent years, the Five-Colored Saint Lord has formed an alliance with the Azure Cloud Sect and has also secretly contacted the Underworld Mountain Sect. Many demon cultivators have left the Broken Realm Mountains."

"Your Nascent Soul Demon Lord has emerged from seclusion?"

Long ago, when Wang Yu first came to the Northern Demon Clan, he suspected that there was a Demon Lord behind them, not only in the Northern Broken Realm Mountains but also in the Southern Broken Realm Mountains.

Furthermore, they should be among the strongest in the Nascent Soul realm; otherwise, neither Taihu nor Chiyuan would have stood idly by while the demon race occupied such a resource-rich area as the North-South Boundary Mountain Range.

Anyone with a brain knows this; it's impossible for anyone to be wrong.

At this point, he made a tentative remark.

They wanted to see if the demons of the North had any intention of coming out of the mountains. The Heart Beast Tower was raising a large number of old demons, most of whom were fourth-order transformed demons with unfathomable depths.

If the righteous sects are weaker than the demonic sects, then the demon race's foundation is stronger than that of the demonic sects. So, the order of strength from low to high is roughly like this.

The Six Righteous Sects (30-40 Nascent Soul cultivators)

Less than the four major sects of the demonic path (fifty to sixty Nascent Soul cultivators).

Less than the number of demons from the South/North (over 100/Venerable level combat power)

Less than the Sword Sect/Heavenly Demon Sect (more than 100/multiple Venerables).

The suppression of the demon race is due to both racial factors and the fact that they possess the combat power of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Just look at that Nascent Soul poisonous dragon in the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest; it was suppressed and dared not come out.

He was terrified that the human race's venerable ones would skin him alive and refine him into a fifth-tier spiritual treasure.

Faced with Wang Yu's probing words.

The old bird demon skillfully deflected the question, pushing it back to the original topic.

"What do you mean by whether or not to come out of the mountains? Since both of us have requests, I will step in to help make the connection. The Northern Demon has plenty of rare and precious treasures."

"You help with alchemy, and the Northern Demon will provide protection, guaranteeing that the people from the Azure Cloud Sect will be driven away every time they come. How about it?"

Wang Yu shook his head with a smile.

"Third Master is far too greedy. You think you can bring me down with just the rotten oranges of the Azure Cloud Sect? Even the Crimson Heaven can't do anything to me, so why would I need the Northern Demon's protection?"

"The alchemy commission is normal. I will only take the reward I am entitled to. Besides, I still owe the Heavenly Peng King a favor. I will go to the Heavenly Peng Clan to talk to him. There is no need to trouble Third Master."

Seeing that his little scheme had been exposed, and that Biyun Sect couldn't intimidate this demon, he didn't care much.

He chuckled and patted the sparsely haired pointed head.

"It's alright, it's alright. Do as you please. I was just saying it offhand."

"It's alright."

Wang Yu had a fairly good impression of the demon race from the north.

And he has the air of someone who owes money and is treated like royalty. The reason he can come to the Northern Demon Clan with peace of mind is that he believes his own value exceeds what the Biyun Sect can promise.

This time, they even used a fourth-tier top-grade alchemy technique as bait.

Having been in contact with the Blood-Eyed Demon Flood Dragon for many years, he knew very well that what the demon race lacked was the means to utilize rare and precious materials, especially alchemists, who were so scarce that it was almost pathological.

We're not worried about them not taking the bait.

The alchemy process not only helps him improve his control over demonic energy, further shortening the time needed to consume the next Blood Infant Pill, but also allows him to amass a large amount of fourth-tier spiritual materials.

Whether it's used for alchemy, trying to refine some elixirs to strengthen the foundation and cultivate vitality, or to enhance the body's foundation and control—these are all ways to improve the basics.

Refining these elixirs that help resolve the side effects of the Blood Infant Pill would also greatly improve his abilities.

Secondly, the Glazed Pagoda and the Twelve Symbols of the Moon Palace.

Both of these are innate magical treasures and innate supernatural abilities, and both require absorbing a large amount of rare and precious materials with yin and cold attributes to enhance their foundation and potential.

Cultivating the extreme cold power within the Frozen Demon Essence also requires consuming a large amount of rare and precious materials.

Therefore.

Coming to the Northern Demon Clan for seclusion was a win-win-win situation for him.

I was busy with things today, so I stayed up all night to write this chapter.

I'll try to write earlier tomorrow, I apologize...

I'm so sorry, dear readers!
