In a chaotic place, inside an inn in a city, the guests were drinking and talking to each other.
"Have you heard that the Demon Cult has recently started recruiting disciples?"
"What's going on? Why are you summoning disciples? Are you going to..."
"That's right. I guess there will be another war in this chaotic land. I don't know if it will affect this city. I think we should go to Yangcheng. After all, that city is the farthest from the Demon Cult."
The Demon Cult's sudden call for disciples caused the entire chaotic land to become agitated. Some cities close to the Demon Cult were extremely frightened. Some planned to surrender to the Demon Cult directly, while others planned to resist to the end.
In the past, although the entire chaotic land was independent of each other, large-scale wars rarely occurred. The overthrow of a city was already a major event. However, since the arrival of the Demon Cult, the entire chaotic land has rioted again.
——
At the headquarters of the Tianwu tribe in the sealed city, a group of leaders were discussing strategies in the main hall.
"Brother, what should we do? Why did this demon sect want to start a war at this time? We can wait for a while and seal off the city to send him away, but now..."
"Yes, big brother. We can't let the people of the Demon Cult occupy the city now. Otherwise, the secret..."
"Yes, yes!" Impatient voices continued to ring out in the lobby.
The leader of the Sky Witch tribe, who was sitting at the head of the group, waved his hand gloomily, "Silence! Send someone to keep an eye on the progress of the Demon Cult. If our plan is completed before they arrive, we will give the city to them. Once we have that thing, the Demon Cult will no longer have the final say in this chaotic land."
"yes!"
Yuwang City is the closest city to Fengcheng. At this moment, a group of people are sitting in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion. A man in a red robe is sitting at the first seat. This man is obviously only at the Qiangu Realm, but he is accompanied by a group of masters, and there are even masters at the Zhenwu Realm among them.
The man sitting on the throne was none other than Lian Sheng, the chief eunuch of the Demon Cult. A year ago, the Demon Cult officially began its fight for supremacy in the chaotic land and had captured more than twenty cities. If the Demon Cult had not been short of manpower and slowed down its pace, it would have probably occupied even more cities.
The method the Demon Cult is currently adopting is to attack cities and occupy territories while training the cultivation and combat effectiveness of its disciples.
After all, the combat effectiveness of the high-level members of the Demon Cult is still somewhat insufficient. Except for Zhou Qiong, Mu Lao and some surrendered people, there is not even one person left in the True Martial Realm. The strongest, Lian Sheng, is only at the eighth level of the Eternal Realm.
"General Manager, my Yuwang City will officially submit to the Demon Cult. I hope you can say a few good words to the leader of the Cult!" Yuwang, who was dressed in a white python robe, said flatteringly to the red-robed man who was sitting on the upper seat.
"Well, I have already passed the news of Yuwang City to the leader. Yuwang, you will get the position of outer sect guardian!"
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, General Manager!" King Yu felt a little relieved after hearing this.
The outer guardian of the Demon Cult is a newly emerged position. Any Zhenwu Realm leader who surrenders to the Demon Cult can get such a position, and those in the Qiangu Realm can get a manager position.
Although he already had some guesses about his position, he felt relieved after hearing Liansheng's confirmation.
Liansheng looked at the happy King Yu and admired Zhou Qiong even more in his heart over the past year.
The main reason why he was able to capture so many cities was that Zhou Qiong's reputation was too strong. When many cities heard that the Demon Cult was coming, they did not dare to resist and simply opened the city to surrender. The remaining few cities that resisted were also easily conquered by the cooperation between inside and outside.
So even though they had occupied more than twenty cities in the past six months, the number of lives slaughtered was still not as many as that massacre.
"King Yu, how much do you know about the Tianwu Clan that sealed the city!"
Liansheng looked at King Yu and said softly that the real purpose of his trip was the Tianwu tribe. This was the task assigned by the leader.
This ethnic group is very mysterious, with many legends. The tribesmen seldom go out, and they did not even participate in the last big commotion in the Semi-Saint Secret Realm.
King Yu pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "General Manager, this sealed city is really mysterious. More than three thousand years ago, they suddenly appeared in the chaotic land and directly occupied the sealed city at that time. Then they actually drove all the creatures in the city out of the city. Moreover, for three thousand years, the tribesmen basically did not go out."
"And they look very similar to humans. If they hadn't called themselves the Heavenly Witch Clan, others would have thought they were humans!"
"Do you know who the masters are in the clan?" Liansheng asked with a frown.
"I don't know about that. I only know that three thousand years ago, their clan sent someone to subdue the lord of the city at that time. I'm afraid there is more than one master of the Zhenwu realm in the clan." King Yu said with some fear.
Liansheng waved his hand, and a secret guard appeared in front of him, "Pass the message to the leader, and ask Mu Lao and a few outer sect guardians to come over!"
The secret guard nodded and disappeared into the lobby.
Liansheng was very wary of the mysterious Tianwu clan. His intuition told him that this Tianwu clan was definitely not simple.
At this time, on the back mountain of Tianmo Peak, there was a huge peach tree that exuded a terrifying aura. Countless spiritual energy poured into its body, and its momentum became stronger and stronger, causing the entire peach tree to begin to emit bursts of fairy light.
Suddenly, a large number of black clouds gathered in the sky, and endless lightning was brewing.
Zhou Qiong, who was sitting in the hall, looked up at the sky and muttered, "Thunderbolt..." Then he looked at the peach tree in the back mountain with a complicated look in his eyes. It seemed that this peach tree was not an ordinary variety. Just breaking through the limitations of its body could actually bring about a thunderbolt.
You should know that the thunder tribulation will only occur when Zhenwu breaks through to Daluo, but now Mu Lao has only cultivated to the first level of Zhenwu.
When the members of the Demon Cult discovered what was happening, they all ran towards the back mountain.
The dark clouds in the sky became more and more violent, and the lightning became more and more rapid. Finally, a huge bolt of lightning struck the peach tree, and without stopping, two even bigger bolts of lightning struck down in succession.
When the members of the Demon Cult arrived at the place in the back mountain that was struck by lightning, they found that the black clouds in the sky had dispersed, and the originally huge peach tree on the ground was now only left with its roots, which were terrifyingly black, like charcoal.
"Isn't this old man going to die?"
"What are you talking about? How could Mu Lao, who is so powerful, die?"
"But the thunderbolt just now was too scary. Mu Lao has now turned into charcoal."
Just as the members of the Demon Cult were discussing the matter, a new branch suddenly grew out of the charcoal, and then sprouted and grew rapidly.
In just a few breaths of time, the new branch grew into a towering peach tree again, and was more than twice as big as before.
The aura on his body continued to grow stronger, and waves of peach fragrance slowly emanated and slowly drifted towards the entire Tianmo Mountain. The huge peach trees were once again full of fruits.
