Chapter 121 Encountering the Blue Demon
Jin Liu also signed up for A Chen and his group's expedition. Beforehand, he had communicated with the Palace Master, Venerable Yu Sheng.
Venerable Yusheng did not leave the Misty Heaven Realm with those powerful figures, because he, as the Lord of the Cloud Palace, did not leave, and all the members of the Cloud Palace remained in the Cloud Palace.
After obtaining firsthand information about the Gray Mist and the Fine Demon Clan from Jin Liu, Venerable Yusheng immediately decided to lead all members of the Cloud Palace to Five Elements City.
The Misty Heaven Realm is too vast for him to manage, but since Yu Shan has decided to stay, he will protect her until the very last moment.
Most importantly, the savior who could make the Heavenly Dao of this world pardon the Holy Maiden's defying Heaven's will was right beside Yu Shan.
He wanted to witness firsthand just how extraordinary this baby, hailed as a savior, could be.
The arrival of the top-grade spirit boat in Five Elements City caused quite a stir. When the city lord, Venerable Yong'an, sensed the arrival of a powerful expert at the Tongtian Realm, he personally went out of the city to greet him.
Upon seeing that it was Venerable Yusheng, they quickly bowed and greeted him, saying, "Welcome to Five Elements City, Venerable One!"
“Fellow Daoist Yong’an, you’re too kind. We are both at the Tongtian Realm, so there’s no need for such honorifics,” said Venerable Yusheng.
“You have reached the eighth level of the Heavenly Realm, while I am only at the third level. The difference is like heaven and earth. How dare I be arrogant in front of you?” Venerable Yong’an said.
Although those in the Tongtian Realm are collectively referred to as Venerables, the prestige of his title is far lower than that of Venerable Yusheng.
"I came to Five Elements City for two reasons: first, to deal with the Gray Mist and the Fine Demon Clan; and second, to take care of some personal matters."
"Please arrange accommodations for my followers, fellow Daoist. When the enemy forces are at the city gates, they will naturally lend a helping hand to Five Elements City," said Venerable Yusheng.
"On behalf of all the people of Five Elements City, I thank the Cloud Palace! Please follow me, distinguished guests!" said the City Lord of Five Elements City, his eyes filled with gratitude.
As the lord of the city, he was determined to live and die with the Five Elements City.
The advantage is that the Ten Directions Academy is still in Five Elements City. If a major battle really breaks out, the people of the academy will certainly not stand idly by.
As a result, more and more people have recently flocked to Five Elements City. Many people from surrounding cities who have relatives or friends in Five Elements City have come here to seek refuge.
Although the gray fog cannot be stopped, with Shifang Academy around, safety is always an extra layer of protection.
Venerable Yusheng sent his subordinates to Five Elements City with the city lord, while he himself led ten golden-armored guards out of the city.
Jin Liu sent back a message saying that he would be going to hunt down the Fine Demon Clan in the Gray Mist with A Chen, the eldest son of the Feather Fan Saintess. Venerable Yu Sheng wanted to go and see the child first.
The Holy Maiden with Feather Fan had two children, the younger of whom, Xi'er, was the savior in the divination.
The child is only one year old, while her eldest son, Achen, is already nine. He wants to see if Yu Shan's eldest son is outstanding.
After more than a year, he has gradually accepted the fact that he and the Feather Fan Saintess are not destined to be together.
But he hadn't repaid the debt of gratitude he owed her, and if this world was destined to be destroyed, he didn't want to leave with regrets.
Venerable Yusheng had no Daoist partner in his life, and naturally had no children. He also did not have much affection for children.
He only wanted to determine if the eldest son of the Feather Fan was a promising talent, and if he was good enough, he was willing to put in the effort to nurture him.
As the older brother of the savior, if he is strong enough, he should also be able to do his part to protect his sister.

The participants were divided into three groups: one team each from the advanced class, intermediate class, and beginner class.
The advanced class's exploration target was the deepest part of the Qiyan Mountains, followed by the intermediate class, while the beginner class continued to explore the same area as before.
The beginner class consisted of eight people: Achen, Meng Hanhai, Ge Hui, Nie Xiaoxiao, Lele, Jin Liu, Leng Qiuchan, and Ni Zhiyong.
Ge Hui came with Meng Hanhai, and he always took Meng Hanhai as his goal. As the second strongest in the combat system's junior class, he firmly followed Meng Hanhai.
Lele and Jin Liu were naturally there to protect Achen. As for Leng Qiuchan and Ni Zhiyong, since they had reached the sixth level of the Spirit Realm together before, they decided to team up this time.
Nie Xiaoxiao is now openly clinging to Achen, following him everywhere he goes.
Jin Liu has pollen from the Xuan Ye Lan on his body, and the Jin Jia Wei has a Tracking Butterfly in his hand. As long as the Tracking Butterfly is released, even the gray fog cannot stop it from following the scent of the pollen.
Yusheng and his group quickly discovered Achen and his companions' whereabouts, but he planned to first remain invisible and follow behind them to observe.
The concealment barrier set up by the Tongtian Realm expert was naturally undetectable to Achen and his companions.
In the gray fog, Ah Chen and the others were on high alert.
As Ge Hui entered the gray fog for the first time, he walked through A Chen's nested doll-shaped talisman array and exclaimed, "Junior Brother Zuo, I didn't expect your talisman-making skills to be so superb. You can draw talisman arrays so easily at such a young age."
"Senior Brother Ge, you flatter me! Actually, I admire your swordsmanship more. With a sword in hand, you have the world at your fingertips!"
Ah Chen made an exaggerated gesture, holding a small wooden stick and gesturing a few times, which made everyone laugh, and the originally tense atmosphere immediately relaxed a lot.
Suddenly, Ah Chen felt a pang of fear. He quickly made a shushing gesture: "Shh! There's an enemy in sight, it's very dangerous!"
Having gone through life and death together, everyone trusted Ah Chen's keen perception completely, and no one doubted him.
Following behind them, Venerable Yusheng also sensed an unusual aura.
As a powerful expert at the eighth level of the Tongtian Realm, it's not surprising that he could sense this hidden aura.
The lowest level of the golden-armored guards around him was already at the seventh level of the Spirit Realm, yet none of them noticed anything amiss.
However, it was very strange that Ah Chen, a mere child at the tenth level of the Spirit Fusion Realm, sensed something amiss.
However, thinking back to the Feather Fan Saintess in his previous life, whose cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Heavenly Realm, he felt that it was quite normal for her eldest son to have such talent.
The fog was getting thicker and thicker, and visibility had shrunk to within three feet.
Ah Chen and the other eight held their breath, waiting for the unusual event that was about to appear in the thick fog.
As the mist surged before them, a blue figure drifted through it.
As soon as he appeared, the surrounding fog automatically dispersed, but after he passed by, the thick fog automatically surged back, erasing all traces he left behind.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would never have imagined that someone had passed through this thick fog.
The blue figure was different from the green and yellow demons they had seen before.
Although he was slender, he was taller, about 175 cm, and at first glance he would be mistaken for an average-looking, thin man.
In the thick fog, he suddenly turned his head and grinned at the place where Ah Chen and the others were hiding.
