The peddlers, government laborers, and fortune-tellers were the first to notice the strangeness of the blind zither player, and astonishment appeared in their eyes.
They were the most enigmatic and most terrifying Fivekind Man of the Wenshui Tang clan, but it was the blind zither player that was… the man.
Although the zither player had never been willing to call himself their teacher, their leader, and rarely even spoke, they all felt the deepest respect for him, no less than the respect they felt for the Tang Old Master.
This was the first time they had seen the blind zither player reveal such a powerful will to fight, such a genuine vitality.
The cosmetic-buying girl was very uneasy. She wanted to step forward and ask a question, but she was stopped by the two sesame-candy-selling elders.
……
……
The Orthodoxy's experts also sensed the Qi exuded by the blind zither player. Their expressions turned stern and they felt the same as Xiang Qiu did: this person is strong! Even amongst the Prefects of the Orthodoxy, only Mao Qiuyu would be able to match this blind zither player!
Linghai Zhiwang, An Lin, and the other Prefects were also shocked speechless, but since they knew his identity, they also felt that this was to be expected.
Before it began to wither away, the Longevity Sect was the ancestral court of the Orthodoxy's southern faction, resisting the Li Palace together with Holy Maiden Peak. The Mount Li Sword Sect, whose name now awed the continent, was only one of the Longevity Sect's subordinates. As the last Grand Elder of the Longevity Sect, it was only natural that the blind zither player be strong. He should be this strong!
The Prefects also knew why the blind zither player had suddenly come to life, seemingly taking them back to the Longevity Sect's prime.
It was because of the figure beneath that tree in the courtyard.
Because they felt the same.
When they saw that figure, their breathing became hurried while their cultivation naturally pushed them to unprecedented levels.
Whether it was the blind zither player or the Prefects of the Orthodoxy, this was their first time seeing the Demon Lord with their own eyes.
It was precisely on the day they were prepared to kill him.
Chen Changsheng had them return to White Emperor City in advance with exactly the goal of killing the Demon Lord.
To the Human race, this was the greatest, most glorious, and most splendid mission.
To the continent, this was the most shocking, most tense, and most dangerous moment.
If they could kill the Demon Lord, today's scene and their names would be passed on through the annals of history for ages to come.
Even if the blind zither player's heart was like a withered piece of wood or dead ash, it would begin to burn once more.
Even if the names of these Prefects of the Orthodoxy were already foreordained to be recorded in the Daoist scriptures, they were still willing to pay everything, even their lives.
……
……
The young Demon Lord stood beneath the tree, turning to face the crowd outside the courtyard.
His face was very handsome, faintly exuding an inhuman Qi.
The sand in the courtyard suddenly stirred and began to dance around his body, drawing countless complex patterns on his black imperial robe.
Linghai Zhiwang's pupils constricted at this sight, and everyone felt an intense danger.
Before he led Black Robe and the Demon Commander in deposing his father, the young Demon Lord had been completely unremarkable. Whether in talent, fighting prowess, or any other aspect, he was utterly mediocre and obscure. Let alone Qiushan Jun and Xu Yourong, he could not even compare to Chen Changsheng.
The matter for which he was most known on the continent was his desire for Xu Yourong.
It was only after he pushed that legendary existence into the abyss and then planned a cruel encirclement and slaughter of his older brother Han Qing that the entire continent understood that they had been wrong.
Now, the entire continent knew that this Demon Lord possessed unimaginable talent for fighting and unfathomable strength, but just how strong was he?
It was evident that he had still not stepped into the Divine Domain.
