Inside the main hall.
Yuan Mo looked at Yu Yao and Wu Daozi and asked, "Has the demon clan made any moves in recent years?"
Wu Daozi shook his head, "No."
"It's strange to us all. When the millennium was about to arrive, everyone was ready to fight with all their might. But as time passed, the demons didn't make a single move, as if they had completely forgotten about it."
Yuan Mo frowned, his expression somewhat serious, "No movement? Could it be that he is preparing a big move?"
Yuan Mo spoke this sentence so softly that no one present could hear it clearly.
Yuan Mo looked deeply at Yu Yao and Wu Daozi, then said to them seriously, "In three months, the demons will break the seal and come out."
"What?" The two men exclaimed and stood up suddenly from their seats.
Wu Daozi looked at Yuan Mo solemnly, "Old Yuan, where did you get this information?"
Yuan Mo shook his head and said in an enigmatic tone, "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed!"
He changed the subject and continued, "But this news is indeed true. We should make plans early."
"Back then, the Canglan Realm relied on the combined efforts of several old sect masters to re-seal the demons. Now we can only rely on ourselves."
Yu Yao, standing aside, had a rather grim expression on his face. "Old Yuan, this is a serious matter. Should we notify the leaders of all the sects to come and discuss this?"
Yuan Mo nodded, "Of course. In a couple of days, I plan to gather the leaders of several major sects together, and then we can discuss this matter."
"By the way, Old Yu." Yuan Mo looked at Yu Yao and gave him a sly smile, "The task of notifying the various sects is now left to you."
Yu Yao cursed the old fox inwardly, but still agreed to the task.
…
abyss.
This is a place forgotten by the world. Everywhere you look is endless darkness. There is no sun and no four seasons. It is like the back of light, a world abandoned by the universe, and the demons are the only creatures exiled to this world.
They are indifferent, selfish, cruel, greedy, and bloodthirsty. They are synonymous with all negative emotions and are the existence that everyone hates.
--cluster!
A light sound was heard, and the darkness was dispelled a little. A young girl lit the extinguished torch in her hand and walked slowly in this dark world. Behind her was a long string of footprints. It was unknown how long she had been walking.
“Rustle…”
The girl's feet lightly skimmed across the sand, and an eerie sound echoed throughout the world. A cold wind whistled past, lifting the girl's bright red skirt. She smoothed her wind-torn hair and looked towards the city not far ahead, the only city with glimmering lights in the dark world. She murmured softly, "Is this the place?"
She paused for a moment, then continued forward, torch in hand, leaving only a winding trail of footprints on the gray-black earth...
As the distance got closer, the girl gradually heard other sounds in her ears.
--call!
A sound of breaking air was heard. The girl looked up, her eyes slightly narrowed, and saw a demon flapping his huge wings across the sky and disappearing into the city ahead.
The girl came back to her senses and looked at the plaque on the city gate.
"[Nightmare City]?" the girl whispered, "It seems to be here."
She raised her feet and walked forward.
When she arrived at the city gate, two demon soldiers guarding the gate raised their hands to stop her, but the girl just glanced at them lightly. The two men were stunned for a moment. The girl walked into the city calmly and her figure slowly disappeared.
After a long while, the two demon soldiers came back to their senses. They scratched their heads in confusion and silently retreated to their positions. They felt as if they had forgotten something.
…
The main hall of Xiaoyao Sect.
Cheng Xiaoxiao was bored as she listened to the meaningless conversation between Yuan Mo and the other two, and couldn't help yawning.
She quietly nudged Lan Wangyou's arm. Seeing Lan Wangyou looking over, Cheng Xiaoxiao winked at him, "Brother, did Master do this before?"
Lan Wangyou glanced at Yuan Mo and the other two who were still praising each other, and nodded helplessly.
Cheng Xiaoxiao pursed her lips.
Well! She had indeed never seen Yuan Mo like this.
"Old Wu! How many disciples has your Baiyun Sect accepted this year?" Yuan Mo took a sip of tea and spoke lightly.
Wu Daozi stroked his beard and smiled brightly. "Not many, not many, only about twenty or thirty, but all of them are good seedlings."
Yuan Mo nodded in agreement, "Not much indeed."
Wu Daozi's face darkened. He asked, "Old Yuan, how many people have you accepted into the Xiaoyao Sect?"
Yuan Mo grinned, "Not many, just over ten thousand!"
Wu Daozi: "..." I have a 'greeting' but I don't know whether I should say it or not.
Yu Yao recalled the Xiaoyao Sect disciples he had just met. It seemed that there weren't that many people. He asked in confusion, "Then where are the rest of your Xiaoyao Sect?"
Yuan Mo chuckled, "Of course I have to hide it, to prevent you from poaching me!"
Yuyao: “…” Am I that kind of person?
He and Wu Daozi exchanged a glance, and they finally understood that Yuan Mo had asked them to come today just to show off.
But I can't even beat him. Isn't that infuriating?
Just then.
The five people seemed to have noticed something and looked outside the hall at the same time.
A figure slowly appeared in front of everyone. Wang Long bowed to Yuan Mo and said, "Master, the food for the guests is ready."
Yuan Mo nodded and waved to Wang Long, "Master, I understand. Go down!"
Wang Long saluted, turned around and left silently.
Yuan Mo looked at Yu Yao, and Wu Daozi said, "Old Yu, Old Wu, come to my courtyard, let's eat and talk."
Wu Daozi nodded, "Alright."
Yuyao echoed, "Let's walk."
Yuan Mo smiled, his eyes fixed on Cheng Xiaoxiao and Lan Wangyou, "You don't have to go."
Cheng Xiaoxiao, Lan Wangyou stood up and answered respectfully, "Yes."
After Yuan Mo took Yu Yao and Wu Daozi disappeared completely, Cheng Xiaoxiao collapsed on the chair in a completely ungraceful manner.
Lan Wangyou looked at her and couldn't help but smile, "What? Are you feeling tired?"
Cheng Xiaoxiao lay on her back in the chair and waved at Lan Wangyou, "No, I just feel a little bored."
"Boring?" Lan Wangyou raised an eyebrow, pondered for a moment, and suggested, "Then Senior Brother will take you down the mountain for a walk?"
Cheng Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up and she stood up instantly. "Let's go, Brother, let's go now."
As she spoke, she walked out. After a few steps, she realized that she didn't know the way at all. She stopped abruptly and turned to Lan Wangyou behind her and said, "Brother, please go ahead."
Lan Wangyou glanced at her and slowly passed Cheng Xiaoxiao. His slightly smiling words rang in Cheng Xiaoxiao's ears, "Junior sister, let's go!"
