Chapter 194: Chapter 151: Dance of the Demons (Request for Monthly Ticket)

Tongfeng Town.

Located in Tongguang County of Sword State, it is a large town with a population of over ten thousand.

Now, all the residents of this large town have already relocated and left.

However, the town has not become deserted. Due to its geographical location, being at the center of the migration area, it has become the command center for the Divine Sword Sect’s large-scale relocation plan. Thus, there is a large number of Divine Sword Sect martial artists coming and going, making it extremely busy.

Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu has been stationed here since the beginning, directing the entire relocation operation.

Every day, a large amount of information is sent back from various migration teams.

During this time, some teams have already been attacked by demon creatures.

Two Heavenly Persons from the Divine Sword Sect, Elder Qing Song and Elder Cang Yun, had no choice but to return from the frontlines to clear out the demon creatures.

These demon creatures are very cunning, avoiding direct confrontations with the Heavenly Persons. As soon as a Heavenly Person arrives, they immediately flee and attack elsewhere... This has already caused a large number of casualties, including many disciples of the Divine Sword Sect.

"It’s strange, why has the frequency of attacks by the demon creatures significantly decreased recently?"

Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu, collecting information from all sides, showed a thoughtful expression on his face.

Although this is a good thing, he always felt that something was off.

The two Heavenly Persons have been tirelessly traveling around, tracking the demon creatures, but they only serve to deter them and cannot actually kill them.

"Could it be..."

He suddenly remembered that Elder Jin Hao from one of the migrant groups had mentioned a mysterious powerful person appearing, taking away a monkey demon... Could this mysterious person be secretly eliminating the demon creatures?

However, Elder Jin Hao’s description did not reveal the presence of this mysterious person, only a brilliant golden flame descending from the sky, enveloping the monkey demon, and then the monkey demon struggling to shrink its body...

Swoosh!

Suddenly, two figures descended from the sky and landed in the courtyard.

It was the two Heavenly Persons, Elder Qing Song and Elder Cang Yun.

"Supreme Elders, have you discovered any traces of the demon creatures..."

The Sect Leader quickly paid his respects and then asked.

"Not a single hair has been seen; it’s like they’ve vanished into thin air."

Elder Qing Song shook his head.

"Supreme Elders, it seems that the frequency of demon creature attacks has significantly decreased recently... Moreover, since yesterday afternoon, there have been no more reports of attacks on the migrating groups."

Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu said, "Could it be that this mysterious powerful person is secretly clearing away the demon creatures?"

"Mhm, it’s not impossible."

Elder Qing Song nodded, then exchanged a glance with Elder Cang Yun. They also suspected that this mysterious powerful person might be the "old ancestor".

However, they hesitated to voice their own speculations.

After all, the existence of the "old ancestor" is the Divine Sword Sect’s highest secret, and even the Sect Leader is unaware of it.

...

It was not until late November that the Divine Sword Sect’s mass migration was basically completed.

By this time, the weather had already become very cold.

Along the way, countless bones have been left behind, all of whom failed to complete the journey of migration and died on the road.

The subsequent arrangements for the living conditions of the migrated population were also a huge challenge for the Divine Sword Sect and the local government.

During the early stages of the migration, various places began to establish migrant camps to accommodate the migrating population. However, such a massive influx of people naturally caused a huge impact on the local populations.

During these two or three months, Li Qian spent most of his time traveling outside.

However, he still ensured the basic practice of striking the bell.

Mostly choosing to go out at night and return in the morning.

Thus, his bell-striking practice was not delayed.

Moreover, now that his two disciples were also striking the bell, they could assist him in cultivating the Chen Bell.

...

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than five years had passed.

Taiwu Dao established seven sturdy fortification camps around Huilong Mountain Range, forming an encirclement to station the Martial Arts Army and Heavenly Person powerhouses long-term.

Within five hundred miles around, there were no human villages, towns, or cities to cut off any possible predation by Lion Camel Demon City on the Human Clan.

Even if demon creatures secretly left, they would have to travel much farther distances, greatly increasing the risk.

In these years, Li Qian seldom left the Chen Bell Platform.

His days were spent silently practicing bell-striking cultivation.

Currently, as Lion Camel Demon City was still within a controllable range and had not fully spread, it meant relative safety.

However... other places continued to receive bad news.

It is said that the Xia Dynasty, bordering Great Success, experienced an extremely severe demon disaster, with many provinces and counties becoming rampant with demon creatures.

Chen Bell Platform.

It was not yet dawn.

Bai Yun and Chai Shao had already started their sword practice.

Dong...

The sound of the 5 a.m. to 7 a.m. bell rang out.

Breaking the tranquility of the Divine Sword Sect.

Li Qian held his sword, practicing swordsmanship, and comprehending the Heartless Sword Intent.

Day after day of bell-striking cultivation, not only did he not find it monotonous, but he greatly enjoyed the pleasure it brought.

"In no more than three years, my Heartless Sword Intent will reach the complete Heavenly Phenomenon Level." _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}

Li Qian’s eyes flickered with light.

As for the subsequent breakthrough to the Myriad Phenomena Level, it is yet to be seen.

...

Taiwu Dao Mansion main camp.

Since encircling Huilong Mountain Range, Daoist Master Yu Song has been staying in this camp.

Without him, a Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial stationed here, the Demon Saints of Huilong Mountain would surely launch an attack immediately.

"Father, the Demon Disaster Area of Chang Dynasty’s Yangwu Dao has already merged with Xia Dynasty’s Demon Disaster Area... Wasn’t the Xia Dynasty’s side always stable? How has the situation suddenly worsened so severely?"

The elder with a black beard said, frowning.

Now, this situation is grovelling with demons running rampant.

"According to the information passed from above, there is an insider cooperating, causing a grand demon sacrifice there... even the entire Xia Capital and all the Imperial Family were sacrificed, summoning a Four-Staged Myriad Phenomena top level Demon Saint."

Daoist Master Yu Song said in a grave voice.

This time in Huilong Mountain, the demons are probably just ordinary Demon Saints from Lion Camel Ridge, at most Myriad Phenomena Third Stage... And, because the demon sacrifice was not completely successful, the Demon Saint’s demon body is not perfect, affecting the strength exerted.

A demon body serves as a shell to accommodate the descending of a Demon Saint’s Myriad Phenomena Demon Thought.

Equivalent to the physical body of a human.

The bigger and more successful the demon sacrifice, the higher the quality of the demon body formed, and the higher the final strength limit that can be achieved.

"These beasts... are truly detestable, for their selfish desires, they dare to betray their own kind..."

The elder with a black beard spoke with an angry face.

"In the Ancient Era, there were countless of the Mu Family serving the Demon Race, even though they were thoroughly purged once, some remnants still survived. They have always been in contact with the Demon Domain, and now it is just a resurgence."

Daoist Master Yu Song sighed.

"Father, why hasn’t the top increased reinforcements here? With the current situation in the Human World, I fear it can’t be sustained for long."

The elder with a black beard said.

"Since the great battle at Lotus Pool, our Human Clan suffered heavy losses, the demons gradually regained the upper hand, and my Human Clan internally gradually split into two factions, one advocating for ensuring the safety of the Human World, as our Human Clan’s rear base delivering martial arts talents, but the other faction believes that maintaining a passive defense of the Human World’s barrier is a waste of too many human and material resources, only through cruel survival of the fittest can true martial arts prodigies emerge... Now the latter faction has gradually taken power, prevailing."

Daoist Master Yu Song spoke gravely.

"Father, are you saying this is intentional from above?"

The elder with a black beard showed a shocked look.

"The situation is complicated, I’m not particularly clear myself, but... the situation in the Human World will definitely become more severe."

Daoist Master Yu Song shook his head.

All this was just his speculation.

But the current trend is developing in a direction extremely unfavorable to the Human World.
