In the Cloud City, in a secluded spot near the Wind Whisper Tower.
Consort Mingyue was meditating cross-legged when suddenly her expression changed, and a palm-sized mirror appeared in her hand.
She made a hand gesture and pointed at the mirror, and an excited voice came from the mirror.
"Reporting to the Lord, Lord Blackhorn has pinpointed the exact location of the Demon Realm and is preparing to immediately activate the Heavenly Gang Realm-Breaking Array to open a passage and guide the Demon God to descend."
Upon hearing the voice from the mirror, Mingyuefei's face revealed a beautiful smile.
She murmured to herself.
"After more than a hundred years of preparation, the passage can finally be opened. I hope there won't be any more accidents this time. As long as the demon army arrives, it will surely cause turmoil in Yu Fan Tian, which will keep the Dao Sheng Sect busy for quite a while."
Consort Mingyue pointed her finger and then transmitted the message through the mirror.
"Keep an eye on the movements around the empty city. I'll be there soon."
"yes."
After the call ended, Mingyuefei shouted loudly to the outside.
"Someone come here."
A scarred man quickly approached her and called out respectfully.
"What are your instructions, Master?"
"The passage is about to open. Notify the Li family that we must go to Mirror City immediately."
"yes."
Scarface responded excitedly.
Soon, Consort Mingyue led the four of them and quickly fled out of the city.
After leaving the city, the Li family members were already waiting outside the city. However, the person in the lead was not the family head, Li Jiuming, but an old man with a ruddy complexion.
The aura emanating from the old man clearly indicated that he was a Nascent Soul cultivator.
This person was none other than Li Jiangxiong, the patriarch of the Li family.
More than two hundred years ago, news of Li Jiangxiong's passing was spread in the Li family.
However, no one knew that Li Jiangxiong was not only alive, but had also broken through to the Nascent Soul realm.
Upon seeing Consort Mingyue arrive, Li Jiangxiong hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully greeted her.
"Greetings, OP."
Consort Mingyue nodded in acknowledgment, then waved her right hand, and an exquisite flying boat appeared in mid-air.
"Let's go."
A group of people quickly boarded the flying boat and sped off towards Mirror Sky City.
...
About a thousand miles outside Mirror City, Zhang Yuhe quietly followed behind the blue-robed cultivator.
The talisman soldiers, transformed from talisman paper, were hidden in the shadow of a cultivator in blue robes.
The group of cultivators in blue robes flew slowly, stopping from time to time to check the operation of the warning formation.
Zhang Yuhe wasn't in a hurry; he simply followed at a leisurely pace.
After about half a day, the group of blue-robed cultivators finally finished inspecting the last warning array.
The leading cultivator in blue robes breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled as he addressed the others.
"Finally, all the checks are done. Let's go back."
Seeing the blue-robed cultivator fly towards Mirror Sky City, Zhang Yuhe narrowed his eyes.
"Are we finally going back? Now we can finally see what's going on in Mirror City."
He controlled the talisman soldiers, closely following the shadows.
Zhang Yuhe concealed his presence and sent out a wisp of his divine sense to observe the situation around the blue-robed cultivator through the talisman soldiers.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, the monk in blue appeared outside a city.
Zhang Yuhe looked ahead through the talisman soldiers and could vaguely see the three large characters "Mirror City" above the city wall.
However, he did not see a single person outside the city.
The bustling activity found in other cities was absent in Mirror City.
Not only was there no one to be seen outside the city, but even the city gates of Mirror City were tightly closed.
The entire Mirror City exudes an eerie aura.
After the leading cultivator in blue robes took out his identity token and sent out a message, the tightly closed city gate slowly opened a crack.
The cultivator in blue robes passed through the city gate and flew quickly into the city. Zhang Yuhe controlled the talisman soldiers and followed closely in the shadows.
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a cold expression suddenly appeared.
Upon seeing the middle-aged man who had suddenly appeared, the monk in blue immediately greeted him respectfully.
"Greetings, Sixth Uncle."
The middle-aged man nodded, then asked.
"Is everything alright?"
The leading cultivator in blue robes quickly replied.
"Reporting to Sixth Uncle, everything outside is normal; none of the warning formations have been activated."
"good."
The middle-aged man took out an array plate, examined it against the group of blue-robed cultivators, and then spoke.
"That's all for you. Go back and rest."
"yes."
Seeing the monk in blue robes preparing to leave, Zhang Yuhe suddenly had an idea.
He secretly controlled the talisman soldiers and transferred them to the shadow of the middle-aged man named Sixth Uncle.
Although they were thousands of miles apart, Zhang Yuhe could not sense the person's aura through the talisman.
However, it is clear that this sixth uncle's status in the He family is much higher than that of the previous blue-robed cultivators.
Zhang Yuhe thought that having Fu Bing follow this man might allow them to see more information.
After the monk in blue left, the middle-aged man stood up and flew towards a certain place in the city.
Fu Bing followed closely behind the middle-aged man, quietly trailing behind.
Looking through the talisman soldiers into the city, Zhang Yuhe saw that there wasn't a single person to be seen on the streets of Jingkong City.
The entire Mirror City is like a dead city.
It seems that countless He family cultivators are all staying in their caves to cultivate, and they don't come out to move around at all when they have nothing to do.
"Huh? What's that?"
Suddenly, Zhang Yuhe discovered that the central area of the city was shrouded in a large black fog.
He carefully examined the talisman and saw a huge platform faintly visible in the middle of the black mist.
One hundred and eight towering black pillars were arranged in a row around the high platform.
On the high platform, there sat a horned monster.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Yuhe felt a chill run down his spine.
"They really are demons."
The Dao Sheng Zong Library has a rich collection of books, including many about the Demon Race.
Although Fu Bing only saw a vague phantom, Zhang Yuhe could recognize at a glance that the phantom sitting cross-legged on the high platform was a demon.
According to the book, the overall appearance of demons is not much different from that of humans, except that they have some special parts.
For example, this horned monster phantom should be one of the horned demons.
Zhang Yuhe quickly took out his identity jade token.
Now that the demon race has indeed been discovered, it is natural to send a message to the sect.
Although only one demon has been seen so far, the imagined scenario of a massive demon army descending has not materialized.
However, he had no intention of rushing in alone to subdue the demons.
The talisman soldiers were too far away and couldn't sense the demons' presence.
Who knows what kind of strength this demon has?
What if it's a big boss?
Sending messages to the sect to call for reinforcements is more reliable.
When something happens, we should all work together; there's no need for one person to stand out.
Zhang Yuhe made a hand seal and pointed at the jade tablet. After a short while, Lu Mingfang's familiar voice came from the jade tablet.
"What's up?"
"Reporting to the elder, this disciple has discovered a demon in the Cloud Palace."
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfang stood up solemnly.
"Where were the demons found? Alive or dead? Are you sure you didn't see wrong?"
When Zhang Yuhe stepped out of the mountain gate for the first time, Lu Mingfang was a little worried that he lacked experience and might mistake the demons for demons.
It's best to double-check, otherwise, it would be hilarious if a misunderstanding occurred.
Moreover, not all demons are alive; after all, 100,000 years have passed, and the lifespan of demons is not infinite.
Even if the invading demons were not wiped out, most of them have already passed away.
There are very few demons left alive in the entire Yu Fan Tian.
Therefore, he needs to confirm with Zhang Yuhe that if it is a dead demon, he can simply bring the body back.
Upon hearing Lu Mingfang's series of questions, Zhang Yuhe gave a clear answer.
“Alive, I can’t be mistaken, he’s a Horned Demon, from Mirror City in Cloud Palace.”
"By the way, besides the demons, a strange altar has been set up in Mirror Sky City at some point. One hundred and eight black pillars stand around the altar, and the demon is sitting cross-legged on the altar. I wonder what his purpose is."
"The Heavenly Gang Realm-Breaking Formation?"
After listening to Zhang Yuhe's description, Lu Mingfang's surprised voice came from the jade tablet.
Then, Lu Mingfang said seriously.
"Stay where you are and don't make any rash moves. I'll send people over to help you right away."
