Chapter 281 - Saber Monarch Donghai, 36 Demon Leaders (2/2)
“Surely they’ll fuse?”
“No, we can’t allow the Tanhua Sect to be absorbed by another sect!”
“That’s right, the Tanhua Sect’s name will never be changed. This is our faith!”
The Demon Leaders heatedly discussed among themselves. Even though they respected Zhou Xuanji, they did not want the Tanhua Sect’s name to change.
At that moment, Xian Xianghua suddenly appeared in front of them, causing them to hurriedly get up and pay their respects.
“We greet the Sect Lord!” They said simultaneously, their voices filled with reverence.
Xian Xianghua swept her gaze across them and asked, “Has Qin Gang been rescued?”
Thousand Hand Devil Qin Gang was a sharp blade of the Tanhua Sect.
Apart from his own cultivation, his intelligence-gathering skills were very important to the Tanhua Sect.
Qin Zheng replied, “Thank you for your concern, Sect Lord; I have already sent him to gather the Tanhua Sect’s disciples from all over.”
If Zhou Xuanji had not killed Huangquan Drake King, how could they have saved Qin Gang so easily?
As such, Qin Zheng still felt a trace of gratitude towards Zhou Xuanji.
After all, Qin Gang had also said many things about Zhou Xuanji to him.
“Mm, as for the event at the Duantian Cliff—do you all think the Tanhua Sect should go?”
Xian Xianghua changed the topic. Yang Di had invited all heroes in the world to gather, but Xian Xianghua was in an awkward position given that they were enemies with the rest of the world. If they went, they would definitely have many troubles.
A female Demon Leader licked her lips and gave a sinister smile as she said, “This is a good opportunity for the Tanhua Sect to recover. It’s better that we don’t go and properly develop the Tanhua Sect. Moreover, I’m afraid that the Duantian Cliff gathering is not that simple.”
The will of the people was to have Yang Di become the lord of the human race.
If he gave the order, everyone would submit; why would there be a need to beat around the bush?
It was possible that the Duantian Cliff gathering was a Feast at Hongmen. [TLN: A banquet set up for murdering a guest]
The Sanctums, Empires and Sects most likely could guess this, but who dared to refuse Yang Di?
Xian Xianghua nodded and said, “Have you completed the task that I gave you?”
Even though she was arrogant and unruly, she understood the situation.
The Tanhua Sect could not compare to before, and it was no longer the overlord of the demonic path.
Qin Zheng replied, “Nearly; when the time comes, my disciple will bring him here.”
While the Tanhua Sect was discussing the Duantian Cliff gathering, so was Skyfall.
Zhou Xuanji gathered everyone at the summit, including the second generation disciples.
“In the next period of time, no matter what happens, we must not leave Skyfall. We’ll start moving out once I break through to the Great Realization stage,” Zhou Xuanji said softly as he placed his hands on his legs.
His voice was clearly heard by every person.
The little black snake flicked its tongue and asked, “Master, will you have confidence to deal with Yang Di if you break through to the Great Realization stage?”
Everyone else looked at Zhou Xuanji in hope.
Zhou Xuanji had always had the ability to fight with those of a higher stage in cultivation.
When he had Spirit Refinement cultivation he could kill Huangquan Drake King; when he broke through to the Great Realization stage, he would only have one opponent left.
“I’ve never met Yang Di, but I am confident in defeating Jihuang Demon Lord,” Zhou Xuanji said conservatively. Intimidating Spirit grade legendary swords were definitely much more powerful than Heavenly Soul legendary swords. Adding on World Reincarnation and a Great Realization stage cultivation, he really did have the confidence to deal with Jihuang Demon Lord.
What was worth mentioning was that Jihuang Demon Lord had already vanished without a trace, as if he had been scared witless by Yang Di. There was no news about him at all.
A disciple nervously asked, “Will Yang Di really list us as enemies? A senior told me that Yang Di has always been focused on cultivating and does not care about worldly affairs.”
Chongming Demon Monarch glared at him and cursed, “He wants to be the ruler of the world, not just the ruler of the human race, understand?”
Any person could change!
Xu Yang timely changed the topic and asked, “Grand-Teacher, Zhang Kuanglan says that he has something to report to you. Do you want to see him?”
Zhang Kuanglan was still a prisoner, and Zhou Xuanji would absorb his spirit energy once every few months.
As time passed, his heart had started to waver.
