Who is this person?
The images of the eight True Demon Ancestors flashed through everyone's minds, but none of them matched.
"It couldn't be that they smuggled themselves into Lingzhou from Tiannan. It wasn't those eight people, could it? I remember that none of the eight were old men."
"Very likely, we'll know once we go and see."
...
Leng Hanmei and the others approached the "old man" and soon sensed his aura.
As the distance closed considerably, the old man's features became much clearer.
"This aura is something only those who have reached the mid-stage of the Mahayana realm possess. Why does this person look so familiar to me? It seems like..." Lingyun Daoist murmured.
"The Earth Demon Ancestor!"
The Taoist Master Tianji was the first to recognize it.
The others also realized what was happening and recognized the person in front of them as the Earth Demon Ancestor.
"He really does look like the Earth Demon Ancestor, but I clearly remember him as a middle-aged man. Why did he suddenly become an old man? What happened in between?"
“I remember that the Earth Demon Ancestor was different from us. He had half demon blood, which made him less prone to aging. Our lifespan in the Mahayana stage is infinite, but time will leave its mark, and our bodies will still show signs of aging.”
...
The crowd began to whisper among themselves, but no one dared to step forward and ask.
Because the Earth Demon Ancestor looked terrible and exuded a terrifying killing intent.
Then another crack appeared in the perilous terrain, from which seven people emerged one after another.
These seven people were the True Demon Ancestor, the Mysterious Dao Master, and others. They all looked quite old and rather disheveled.
"Earth Demon, let's leave."
The True Demon Ancestor looked very unpleasant and didn't want to stay there any longer.
Of all the Mahayana cultivators present, his behavior was the most domineering and arrogant.
Now that he and the others have suffered a setback, he naturally feels utterly humiliated.
The two quickly left the spot and headed towards the Heavenly Demon Sect.
The others also looked grim, and they all headed towards their respective sects.
These eight people had reached the mid-stage of the Mahayana realm, and apart from some old monsters within the sect, no one was stronger than them.
Who among them isn't second only to the emperor, above millions of others?
A single thought can determine the life or death of countless people.
Seeing that all eight had left, the remaining people were even more puzzled.
"What happened to these eight people? Is it so difficult for them to even utter a single word? Especially the True Demon and the Earth Demon, they were so arrogant just now, but now they can't say a word," Lingyun Daoist complained.
"Junior brother, be careful what you say. If these two hear you, you might be in big trouble," Tianji Daoren warned.
“Senior Brother Tianji, you know Han Feng so well, you should be able to guess what exactly happened to these eight people?” Qingshan Daoist asked.
"I don't know much about this. Please explain, Sect Master Leng. She was the last person to have contact with Han Feng, so she should be able to guess from this."
The words of the Taoist Master Tianji quickly made Leng Hanmei the focus of the crowd.
Leng Hanmei and Han Feng were enemies, and she had no intention of covering for him: "My clone once fought with Han Feng. Han Feng cultivates three life laws, namely the laws of destruction, time, and life."
"When many of you were being driven out, Han Feng was undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation of Slaughter. Combined with this Supreme Law, it means that he has cultivated a total of four Supreme Laws. The True Demon and the other eight did not speak, but we could detect fluctuations of the Law of Time on their bodies."
"In other words, Han Feng may have mastered the four supreme laws and used them to drive away the eight people when he was undergoing the tribulation of the Time Law. Although I don't know why, these eight people must have known the power of the Time Law, but they still made a move when they were undergoing the tribulation. Either these eight people couldn't resist their greed and made a move, or Han Feng used some underhanded tricks."
"There's no need to guess; Han Feng must have used some underhanded tactics," Jin Yeyang said.
"It's rare for someone to comprehend four supreme laws in Lingzhou, but there have been a few. However, to cultivate to the Mahayana stage is absolutely unique. Han Feng's talent is too monstrous. He is not only the number one in Lingzhou, but also the number one in the Demon Continent."
"I remember that Feng Tianxia, the strongest in Lingzhou, comprehended three supreme laws and cultivated them to perfection, making him incredibly powerful. Han Feng has successfully cultivated four supreme laws, so he will surely be terrifying in the future!"
"We absolutely cannot let Han Feng live. We've offended him this time, and it'll be very difficult to resolve this grudge now."
...
Everyone began to take Han Feng very seriously, as he was now someone who could threaten their very existence.
What was once an ant-like existence has now developed into a behemoth.
"I propose that we all work together to break through this natural barrier, and that our strongest members go to Tiannan to eliminate Han Feng," Jin Yeyang suggested.
Everyone present remained silent and began to analyze their own gains and losses.
Jin Yeyang's proposal seems to be aimed at eliminating future troubles, but it cannot be ruled out that it is for the sake of the Xuan Tian Ling Bao (a magical treasure).
"You people are still thinking about your own gains and losses. Let me tell you, once Han Feng grows up, you will all suffer the consequences," Jin Yeyang said angrily.
"The Golden Crow Clan Chief speaks with such righteous indignation, but do you think we can't understand what you mean? The strongest among us here includes you, Jin Yeyang. You want us to join forces to help you? What benefit would our Eight Extremes Sect gain? You can ask for Eight Extremes' help, but only if you voluntarily withdraw from the ranks of the strongest." The Eight Extremes Daoist said with dissatisfaction.
"How dare you say such a thing, Baji? Back then, Sect Master Leng, Daoist Tianji, and I decided to forcibly seize the Xuan Tian Zhan Ling Sword. It was because several of you opposed us that we ended up raising a tiger that now has to deal with us," Jin Yeyang retorted defiantly.
"Heh! You dare say you didn't have any selfish motives back then?"
The Eight Extremes Taoist sneered.
Before Jin Yeyang could angrily retort, his fellow clansman Huang Long spoke up: "Baji, you really don't know your place. How dare you speak to my Heavenly Demon Sect like that? You want us to withdraw? We can do it, but only if you can defeat me."
"Is your Heavenly Demon Sect bullying us? My Chaotic Sea Sect and the Eight Extremes Sect are allies, and we are not afraid of your demon clan's sects," the Chaotic Sea cultivator interrupted.
"The strongest members of both sects are only at the early stage of the Mahayana realm, barely qualifying as major sects. I wonder what gives you the audacity to speak to our Heavenly Demon Sect like this," Huang Long sneered.
...
Before the group could reach a consensus, infighting broke out.
"Everyone, please stop arguing."
Leng Hanmei understood that the plan was impossible to execute, and could only sigh heavily.
“It’s unrealistic to go now. Besides, Han Feng’s cultivation has reached the Mahayana stage. Things are different now. Sending out a few people would be too risky. Let’s wait until the natural barrier disappears before making any plans. Anyway, we only have half a month.”
