Chapter 126 The Demons Are Coming

The ceremony of asking the immortals continued.

If you cannot draw a lucky lot, continue with the process.

This is not the first time that the Questioning the Immortal Ceremony has been held, and this is the only time such a situation has occurred.

The first time it happens, some people might find it strange, but after it happens more often, everyone gets used to it.

Those who have participated in the Asking the Immortal Ceremony more than once did not think there was anything wrong, and those who participated for the first time looked at the reactions of others and did not think there was anything wrong either.

Perhaps the immortal's silence is also a kind of answer.

There was only one person at the scene who could not accept such an outcome no matter what.

"On what basis..."

Nan Wang stared at the indifferent fortune-telling box, and a strong anger burned in his heart.

This anger came inexplicably and penetrated deep into my bones, as if it had existed for many, many years.

Nan Wang himself couldn't figure out what he was angry about. This was his first time participating in the Immortal Questioning Ceremony, but he seemed to know the process and results of the ceremony very well...

Before Nan Wang could figure out what was going on, a Qingyun Sect gatekeeper disciple stumbled into the crowd. His loud shouting interrupted the ceremony and attracted everyone's attention.

"Oh no! Oh no! Something happened!"

"The Demon Cult, the Demon Cult is coming!!!"

The gatekeeper shouted heartbreakingly.

The whole house was shocked.

Not only people from Qingyun Sect were present, but also many cultivators from other immortal sects.

We were not familiar with each other to begin with, and when we suddenly heard the news, we were totally confused and didn't know whether to leave or stay.

"Be patient, Tianque, you go down first."

Amidst the noise, the second elder stood on the prayer platform to preside over the situation.

He waved his hand, and a water mirror appeared before everyone's eyes.

The mirror showed the scene at the foot of Qingyun Mountain. Led by Tong Yan, countless demon monks were seen walking towards Qingyun Mountain with strange fire in their hands, shouting "Kill Ye Chuan and seize the secrets of heaven".

This scene alone is scary enough, but what is even scarier is that these demon monks are followed by many ghost-like creatures.

Although those creatures looked like humans, their eyes were lifeless and they were silent. Their movements were uniform and they were filled with spooky ghostly aura. They surrounded Qingyun Sect from all directions, just like an army of ghost corpses controlled by Wu Ge.

Everyone in the Immortal Gate was stunned:

"What are these..."

"Are the demons going to go to war with us?!"

"Why now? Why?"

"Come on, who's afraid of who? I've been displeased with the demons for a long time!"

"Please ask Qingyun Immortal Venerable to take action and teach these ungrateful demons a lesson!"

"It's over, it's over. If I had known I wouldn't have come today."

In the chaos, Nan Wang saw An Nuo at the front of the team at a glance.

His fat white rabbit also followed behind Zhong Wangsheng, shouting with a serious face, "Kill Ye Qian and seize the secret of heaven."

The outrageous scene made Nanwang's teeth itch with hatred.

As soon as he returned to Qingyun Sect, he sent a letter to Annuo to report his safety. The other party immediately wrote back to him, telling him that everything was fine in the Demon Sect and he could rest assured.

What’s the result? It’s been less than five days and they’ve already sent troops to attack us?

This is also called everything is fine?

This bad lying bunny...just wait for him!

Facing the provocation of the demons, the monks present had different ideas, some conservative and some radical.

The most radical among them was the Grand Elder of the Sword Sect.

The moment he saw the army of ghosts, his temper flared up and he drew his Yangyan Sword.

Under the cover of night, the Yangyan Sword shone as brightly as the sun, blinding even monks with low cultivation levels.

"Just be patient, just be patient."

While comforting his fellow apprentice, the second elder looked at Du Xueling solemnly: "Xueling, what do you think?"

Du Xueling immediately stepped forward and replied, "Second Master, the demons are coming with great force, and I'm afraid a war is inevitable. In this case, the Qingyun formation must be unbreakable!"

The second elder nodded in satisfaction: "That makes sense. I will call Lao Qi back immediately. No... I'll call Zhan Chenming back."

The Central Plains Seal is certainly important, but in the current situation, the sect protection formation is more important.

No one can tell what the real difference in strength is between the immortals and the demons. Although all the major immortal sects have sent people to today's Immortal Questioning Ceremony, those who came are basically not the most powerful ones. Moreover, even if they were the most powerful, it would be useless because the most powerful forces in the entire immortal world are originally concentrated in the Qingyun Sect.

The Qingyun Sect is now missing two true disciples and two elders, and Chu Songping's condition makes it impossible for him to be deployed to the battlefield immediately. The situation is not optimistic.

The demon world has the help of Wu Ge's army of ghosts and zombies. If a fight really breaks out, it is hard to tell who will win and who will lose.

The biggest advantage of Qingyun Sect now is that it is fighting at home and has a large formation to protect the sect. Once a large-scale war between immortals and demons occurs, the formation will definitely determine the victory or defeat.

As long as they can hold the battle line, they will surely be the victorious party.

After receiving the order, Du Xueling immediately left Qingyun Mountain and headed for Jianfeng.

Just like Nan Wang returned to the Sword Sect Snow Mountain from the secret realm, Zhan Chenming could also come back in the same way.

Soon, Du Xueling appeared with Zhan Chenming.

Behind Zhan Chenming and Du Xueling, he complained speechlessly:

"Senior Sister, you are too unreliable. The teleportation array can only be used twice. I came back this time, but how can I get through next time? The seal is about to fail. Can't you think of a solution for the sect protection array yourself..."

However, when Zhan Chenming stepped into the square and saw the scene in the mirror, he suddenly fell silent.

Well, it is indeed an emergency.

Zhan Chenming silently picked up the wine bottle and took a sip of wine, feeling extremely confused.

Why did the demons come to attack? He remembered that when he left two years ago, the demons' diplomatic attitude was still very friendly. Even his fourth junior brother was doing well in the demon sect...

Just as I was thinking about it, a familiar voice suddenly came to my ears.

"Third Brother, long time no see."

Nanwang spoke word by word.

Zhan Chenming felt frightened by the resentful look.

"...Oh, long time no see. I left in a hurry and didn't remember to say goodbye to you. Three glasses of wine as punishment."

Nan Wang snorted coldly and did not respond.

Zhan Chenming looked like he obviously didn't know that he already knew the truth.

Although it was a bit inappropriate to say this, he was actually a little grateful that the Demon Cult came knocking on his door at this time.

If not for this, he would probably never be able to see his third brother for the "last time" no matter what.

Nan Wang was filled with resentment, and spoke in a strange tone: "What do you mean by long time no see? I just met you, and I haven't thanked you for sending me back, Third Master."

"Ah, haha." Zhan Chenming laughed heartily: "What transmission?"

Nan Wang was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Just a few days ago, I accidentally fell into the Central Plains Secret Realm. Didn't you send me back?"

Zhan Chenming was surprised and said, "No, it's not me... No, how did you fall into the Central Plains Secret Realm? I was there to prevent anyone from falling in. When did you come?"

Nan Wang turned around and looked at Du Xueling.

Du Xueling immediately turned to look at the Second Elder and said sternly, "Second Master, Third Junior Brother has returned. What should we do now?"

Nanwang: “…”

Okay, they are all liars.

He had suffered so many losses, yet he was still deceived.

When has Du Xueling's words ever been trustworthy? The bigger the matter, the more she lies.

He already knew Du Xueling's character, yet he was fooled again and again. He almost laughed at himself for being so angry.

But... Nan Wang suddenly felt something strange.

He really never dreamed that Du Xueling would lie about this matter.

Du Xueling's lie actually revealed Zhan Chenming's situation completely.

Now he not only knew that his third senior brother was still alive, but he also knew that he was preparing to die.

Du Xueling was also clear about his character. Now that things had come to this, he would definitely not let it go.

So, what is it that Du Xueling would rather sell out Zhan Chenming than keep it secret?

At this moment, the prayer platform has become a conference platform. Several elders from Qingyun Sect and representatives sent by other immortal sects are discussing the next plan.

The most important thing right now is to find out what these people from the Demon Cult are trying to do, and if possible, avoid a major war.

But if we really have to fight, we have to stabilize the formation and prevent it from being breached, and reduce casualties...

When everyone was trembling with fear, Nan Wang quietly walked behind Du Xueling and said quietly, "Big Sister, I've asked Third Brother... Tell me the truth, how did I get back to Qingyun Sect?"

Du Xueling said with a firm look: "Fourth Junior Brother, now is not the time to talk about this. As a Qingyun disciple, you must put the overall situation first!"

Nan Wang was not fooled, and his eyes were more determined than Du Xueling's: "Tell me how you came back first, so that I can focus on the overall situation."

"Alas, everything is fate." Du Xueling sighed helplessly: "In fact, it was the Immortal Lord who sent you back... He specifically told me to keep it a secret from you, and I just followed his orders. You can't blame me."

Nan Wang took a deep breath and said, "Who? The Immortal Lord? How did he know my whereabouts?"

Du Xueling said: "The Immortal Venerable has great magical powers, so it's not surprising that he knows everything. Moreover, you have the true token on you. With this, the Immortal Venerable will be able to know your movements..."

Nanwang Zhanzhijietie said: "That's impossible! I have nothing on me!"

He was originally considered a half-undercover agent when he went to the Demon Cult this time. He must be mentally ill to carry the Qingyun Sect's token with him.

As for the token of the fourth true disciple and those things related to Qingyun Sect, he either did not carry them with him at all, or he left them in the pawn shop of Tiangong along the way.

He had nothing on him. He had specially placed the Guantian Sword in a special storage bag that was isolated from spiritual energy. The other storage bags were filled with talismans that were only drawn when he arrived at the Demon Cult... and so on.

Nan Wang's resentful gaze fell on the red rope around his wrist, and his teeth immediately itched with hatred.

Immortal Lord, Immortal Lord, great, so this is the Immortal Lord.

Each and every one of these people...are they telling the truth?
