Chapter 540: Sun Star Lord's Successor
"You mean, the celestial being has returned?"
Yan Xi suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Bai Shasheng opposite him in disbelief and asked.
"It's very likely, and I've found some evidence."
Gently flipping through the book in his hand, Bai Shasheng's face looked calm and composed.
"According to the intelligence we have collected so far, the muddy water that can assimilate living things is very similar to the Blood Demon, a sect leader who ascended to heaven three thousand years ago."
"Blood-light escaping, blood-swallowing and soul-eating..."
"At its peak, the Blood Demon could devour countless mortals with just one mouth, transforming into thousands of blood shadows, possessing a nearly immortal body."
After a slight pause, Bai Shasheng looked up at Yan Xi opposite him and spoke slowly.
"This is the only record of the Blood Demon in the Lotus Sect."
"Except for the fact that the colors don't match, the evil demon that appeared in Shuangliu Village this time is very similar to the blood demon in every way."
"No, from my personal point of view, I even think that the evil demon may be more terrifying than the blood demon."
Opening his mouth in shock, Yan Xi asked instinctively.
"Why?"
Yan Xi's shock was from the heart.
Because she simply couldn't imagine what kind of existence the evil demon that was more terrifying than the blood demon was.
"Because the essence of the Blood Demon is actually the decline of its vitality, it has to extract vitality and spirituality from mortals to make up for the lack of 'Qi'."
"Earlier, before the Blood Demon sect became a side sect, they didn't actually need to take this path of 'refining blood to become a demon'."
"Absorbing weak water, true water, pure water, and 'innate water' from the deep spring is the most authentic way of cultivation for this sect."
The coming of the Dharma Ending Age and the loss of the vital energy of heaven and earth directly led to the disappearance of those natural treasures.
In this situation, all sects are looking for new ways out.
The way out that the Blood Demon's sect is looking for is to replace the innate water with mortal blood, and to use mortal spirituality to make up for the lack of "Qi".
As a result, the originally upright and famous sect turned into an evil sect that was fought over by everyone.
"So, you think that evil demon is a returning celestial being?"
After pondering for a moment, Yan Xi had to admit that Bai Shasheng's speculation made sense.
What he cultivated was the Blood Demon Sect's method, and what he refined was the "Innate Water" that had long been impossible to exist in the Heavenly Realm...
Only the possibility of "return of the immortal" can explain the situation in Shuangliu Village.
So, now the question is! Why would those celestial beings who have already ascended to other worlds choose to return to the celestial realm?
Is the evil demon that appeared in Shuangliu Village an isolated case, or is it a common phenomenon that is happening? And most importantly, do the celestial beings who have returned to the celestial world still retain some of their strength? "Since you know that the evil demon came from outside the domain, why do you still force the major sects?"
"Do you really want to reenact the 'Battle of the Heavens' again?"
Taking a deep breath, Yan Xi spoke again to dissuade Bai Shasheng, while also expressing his inner confusion.
"No, the situation is not that serious yet."
Shaking his head with a half-smile, Bai Shasheng certainly understood Yan Xi's position.
He didn't want to embarrass his friend any further, so he told him some half-truths.
"I'm just forcing them to take action."
"The evil spirits are not a crisis that mortals like us should deal with. Why should we solve it?"
"If that evil demon is really a returning celestial being as I expected, then the ones who should really contribute are the practitioners!"
Seeing Yan Xi's eyes gradually becoming clear, Bai Shasheng's expression returned to its initial indifference.
"Whether it's to explore the truth behind the return of the celestial being, or to find an opportunity to ascend..."
"There's no reason for those practitioners to just sit there and watch, leaving that evil demon to us to deal with."
Finally, Bai Shasheng did not forget to add a sentence silently in his heart.
[Besides, the evil demon appeared in Shuangliu Village, seemingly intending to cause a fight between us and the practitioners.]
[In that case, why not take advantage of the evil demon to weaken the practitioners of the Xianshan Islands? ]

On the edge of the shattered continent, in a small village that has escaped the control of the Taiping Dao soldiers.
"Killing someone in vain...this is an attempt to kill someone with a borrowed knife."
The acting leader of the Jinwu Sect, who had just finished a phone call, turned around and said this to his fellow disciples.
Among the disciples of Jinwu, Haoguang was stroking his chin thoughtfully, trying to piece together the whole story.
Just like Bai Shasheng’s judgment, Hao Guang also believed that the evil demon was most likely a returning celestial being.
Hao Guang also agreed with the saying of "killing with a borrowed knife" by his own disciple, the Jinwu Sect's acting leader.
"We have no choice. Bai Shasheng always keeps his word."
"Since he said he wanted to start a war, he must have already made preparations for it in advance."
After all, they have been lurking in the lower world for so many years, and the people in the Jinwu Sect have a much better understanding of Bai Shasheng than other practitioners.
In particular, Haoguang also traded with the Mountain and Sea Realm, in exchange for a lot of knowledge and technology that mortals could use.
Although those knowledge and technologies are mostly used to help mortals survive better, they will inevitably be obtained by Bai Shasheng and used on the Taiping Dao soldiers.
Hao Guang sometimes even wondered whether Bai Shasheng had already noticed the existence of him and others.
It's just that because the Jinwu Sect always stands on the side of mortals and can continuously provide various knowledge and technologies, they turn a blind eye and pretend that they are unaware of their existence.
"In order to prevent the two sides from fighting again, I will go to the central area of the Taiping Dao Army."
When Hao Guang raised his head and said this, all the disciples of the Jinwu Sect present fell silent at the same time.
Although from a personal perspective, everyone in the Jinwu Sect doesn't actually want Haoguang to get involved in this matter.
It was as clear to them as it was to them that the Hao Guang after his rebirth was no longer the same Hao Guang as before.
Compared to the previous idle and careless look, he no longer cares about anything.
Today, Haoguang seems to have shouldered an inexplicable responsibility, trying his best to maintain a balance between practitioners and mortals and create a world where both sides can live in peace.
This could not help but remind everyone in the Jinwu Sect of the previous leader of the Jinwu Sect—Zhenren Bai Xiao, who was known as the "Sun Star Lord."
"Master, let me go with you this time!"
