"Regarding the situation at Skyreach Cliff, what are your suggestions on how to deal with it?"
Leng Qingcheng scanned the entire hall, finally fixing her gaze on Jiang Haitian.
Jiang Haitian clearly ignored Leng Qingcheng's meaning and simply slouched down on the stone chair, playing with walnuts by himself.
Fu Yanchao suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the forces of all sects within the Demon Breath Realm should be combined."
By using the Heavenly Demon Six Desolations Formation to deplete the Demon Abyss Army's strength, and holding the Sky-Piercing Cliff, the Demon Abyss Army will inevitably retreat when the Demon Sun arrives after two months of holding out.
"At that time, we can also take the opportunity to recapture Sky Cliff, and if possible, we might even be able to take back Sky-Piercing Gorge in one fell swoop."
"Demon Sun?"
Upon hearing this word, Jiang Haitian muttered to himself.
Leng Qingcheng overheard this muttering and looked at Jiang Haitian: "Vice-Senior Jiang, do you have any questions? If so, you can ask them."
Jiang Haitian: "As you know, I am not from the Demon Realm, and I am not very familiar with the environment of the Demon Realm. What is this Demon Sun you just mentioned?"
The entire hall fell silent instantly, each person's eyes filled with varying degrees of fear, seemingly deeply wary of this Demon Sun.
Leng Qingcheng: "It's not something that can be explained in a few words. I'll let you see it for yourself. Someone, bring the people from the T-shaped dungeon here."
A short while later, several fully armed demon guards, their hands and feet completely covered, dragged a disheveled cultivator into the main hall.
Upon seeing the demonic cultivator, everyone in the hall shifted back in unison, seemingly wary of him.
Yu Xiyan frowned, somewhat puzzled by the scene before her.
Why would a prisoner cause these rude people from the Demon Realm to avoid him?
At this moment, the cultivator knelt on the ground, his eyes filled with fear and confusion.
He seemed to be muttering something to himself.
"What's the meaning?"
Jiang Haitian was puzzled.
"You can go closer and listen to what he's saying."
Leng Qingcheng's expression turned extremely solemn.
Jiang Haitian said nothing and simply got up and walked to the cultivator's side.
"A person's eyes, one, two, three."
"Mouth, one, two, no, no, three..."
"No nose, one hand, one leg, and its head is on its stomach..."
"Hahaha..."
Suddenly, he abruptly raised his eyes, his scarlet pupils containing a strange and sinister light that pierced straight into Jiang Haitian's eyes.
This sudden turn of events even made Jiang Haitian's heart tighten.
"Close your eyes, don't look directly at it!"
Leng Qingcheng exclaimed in surprise.
But it was all too late.
Two sinister glints shot out from the cultivator's eyes and swept towards Jiang Haitian.
Just as a bead of cold sweat appeared on Jiang Haitian's forehead, the two evil beams that rushed towards his sunglasses were actually reflected back into the cultivator's eyes.
Ah~
With a scream, the cultivator fainted.
Immediately afterwards, his body began to split open inch by inch, and eight spider-like insect tentacles extended from his abdomen.
Its head was also split in two, revealing sharp teeth that bared at Jiang Haitian.
Its back began to twist irregularly, and with the support of its eight tentacles, it slowly arched its back.
Boom~
"hiss--"
Leng Qingcheng directly killed the mutated cultivator with a single palm strike.
With a hiss, the monster's eight wriggling tentacles stopped moving, exposing a viscous, disgusting gray liquid on the ground.
As its body collapsed, the eerie and oppressive atmosphere of the Demon Breath Palace dissipated.
"What the hell is going on?"
The scene just now left Jiang Haitian with lingering fear.
If I hadn't been wearing sunglasses and escaped unscathed thanks to the reflection in the mirror, who knows what kind of changes that evil light would have caused once it entered my body.
Leng Qingcheng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said to Jiang Haitian, "Starting twenty years ago, a second sun has appeared in the sky in our Demon Realm every year between March and June."
Anyone who has seen a second sun will experience changes, both physically and mentally, and the person you just met is the best example.
He began to lose sight of his true human form, and that was the milder of the problems; even more terrifying was that some people's bodies underwent extremely distorted changes.
"Of course, I've already dealt with those mutated people; otherwise, the entire Demon Breath would have become a hell."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Haitian fell into a brief moment of contemplation.
If he guessed correctly, then this so-called Demon Sun, like the evil influences of the Buddhist Kingdom and the Xiongnu grasslands, comes from the same source.
But why didn't this happen in the previous life of the Demon Realm?
What exactly went wrong?
Leng Qingcheng continued, "The Demonic Sun appears once a year, lasting about seven days each time. Wherever the Demonic Sun shines, all cultivators and commoners must stay indoors and cannot go out."
Otherwise, those who have seen the Demon Sun will gradually degenerate into these inhuman, ghostly monsters.
The Demon Sun also possesses extremely strong contagiousness, capable of assimilating and mutating the entire population of an entire city in an instant, much like a plague.
Only cultivators with a cultivation level of Supreme Realm or higher can resist it, otherwise…
As if recalling something terrifying, Leng Qingcheng's delicate body trembled slightly.
Jiang Haitian took a deep breath and looked at Leng Qingcheng, saying, "Then what did President Fu mean when he said that we should use the Demon Sun to recapture Tianqing Gorge and repel the Demon Abyss Army?"
Fu Yanchao said directly, "Brother Jiang, you don't understand. The place where the Demon Sun rises is at the junction of Motian Cliff and Tianqing Gorge, in a place called the Water and Fire Cave."
