C35 (1/2)
Scarlet Dans appeared in the western part of the city. It was filled with people telling their fortune and driving away all the pedestrians in anger. It just so happened that Su Liang's three generation Patrol Disciples caught sight of it.
How big of a matter was it to have a Demon King in the city? The several third generation disciples did not dare to be negligent and immediately reported everything that had happened in the small city back to the sect without exaggerating anything.
After he received the news, Su Liang immediately sent out his divine sense to investigate, but he was unable to find any traces of the scarlet pill. He did not rush down the mountain to check, but instead informed his second and fourth martial brothers and sisters that they were all gathered in the great hall to discuss the matter.
Actually, there was no need for Su Liang to tell them in detail. The moment the disciples of Yin Xian and Wen Shu had received the news, they had immediately informed them.
”Senior Brother, according to the information sent by the outer disciple, the 'Demon King' and two mortals are together. For the time being, there's no sound of demon beasts killing anyone within the city. I presume that the 'Demon King' is only passing by.”
The news that the disciple replied also said that the ”Monster King” deceived everyone to tell their fate, and they even gave it the title of ”Riley King”.
”I heard that the Demon King's actions of telling the fortune of others and asking for a living in the city should be for those two mortals.”
”Presumably, that 'Demon King' isn't an extremely vicious person, so he shouldn't need us to worry!”
If the Monster King had appeared in the female city of Song during the peaceful era of the two races, the Hollow Jade Sect would have to be on guard against the sudden appearance of the Monster King in the female city of Song.
In the cultivation world, for the long term development of the sect, they would have endless inheritances. Regardless of the size of the sect, they would definitely come to the mortal world to find children with cultivation spiritual roots and accept them as disciples.
Large sects held disciple recruitment ceremonies every five years. Small sects didn't have many rules. As long as they met a child with talent, they would immediately accept them as their disciples.
Moreover, the sect's disciple recruitment ceremony was held at the right time this year, so he had to be on guard against the demon clan's destruction. This concerned the sect's interests and safety, and Yin Xian had a more thorough plan than Su Liang.
”Junior brother, your words are wrong. The disciple recruitment ceremony is extremely urgent, we must not be careless!”
The chaotic world was about to start, and anything could happen. Two things that were unrelated to each other would always be linked due to the chaotic world.
The Demon King had suddenly entered the city and the Hollow Jade Sect was about to hold a disciple recruitment ceremony. It seemed like there was no connection at all. The schemer could only imagine that something was related.
The eldest senior brother cultivated in seclusion. The matters of the sect were now managed by the second senior brother. For the benefit and safety of the sect, the second senior brother considered the matters of the sect. It was quite comprehensive, and Su Liang was ashamed of himself.
Only after hearing his second senior brother's reminder did he realize that he was being careless.
”Senior brother is right, I was too careless.”
The Junior Martial Sister who was silent at the side had been thinking about the reason for the appearance of the Scarlet Pill.
Just now, she had been thinking the same as the third senior brother. When the second senior brother mentioned the disciple recruitment ceremony, she had made a bold guess about the relationship between the sudden appearance of Chi Dan and the disciple recruitment ceremony.
”Second senior brother, are you worried that the 'Monster King' will affect the disciple recruitment ceremony?”
Thirteen years ago, with the demise of the Shentu Clan, the peace between the humans and demons ended. What happened afterwards, the conflicts between the humans and demons never stopped, and many demon beasts mysteriously disappeared.
To cultivators, the entire body of a demon beast was a treasure. The Demonic God Sect had always relied on sucking blood essence to cultivate. Some believed that it was done by the Demonic God Sect, and had no proof.
Moreover, righteousness and evil spirits are irreconcilable. The Demonic God Sect would never step out to clarify their suspicions towards the outside world.
Whether or not it was really as everyone had guessed or not, and the actions of the Demon God's Sect, still needed to be verified.
This time, Chi Dan's sudden appearance in the city was indeed suspicious.
Could it be that what junior said is true, that they are just passing by?
Or could it be that the demon race wanted to take revenge on the human race and intentionally come to destroy the sect's grand ceremony?
Perhaps there was another reason!
No matter what the reason was, it couldn't be wrong to prepare for a rainy day.
”It is hard to say whether or not this will affect the ceremony for accepting disciples!”
”Thirteen years ago, after the tragedy of the Shentu Clan, the” Peace Contract between the Human and Demon Clans ”was abolished.
”All these years, demon beasts have been missing from time to time. The Demon Race has always been very restless as they have recognized that it was a human who did it. Now, that 'Demon King' suddenly appeared, we have to be on guard! ”
Thirteen years ago, an abnormal sign appeared in the sky and earth, the Shentu Clan was destroyed, and the apocalypse was coming. No one in the Hollow Jade Sect knew better than Su Liang, because he was also a participant in the Shentu Clan's tragic case.
Back then, the tragedy of the Shentu Clan was caused by both the humans and the demons. Afterwards, the humans blamed all the crimes on the demons, causing the demons to become the main culprit.
Not long after the end of the ”Contract of Peace between the Demons and the Human Race”, more and more demon beasts went missing. More and more demon beasts went missing, so the demon beasts had no choice but to retaliate and frequently attacked a few small towns.
After receiving his senior's reminder and analyzing it, he immediately thought of a crucial point …
”Senior brother, you are worried that the Monster race will take revenge on us and destroy the disciple recruitment ceremony!”
The reason for the appearance of the Monster King in the city was unclear. Everything was just a guess. The most urgent matter at hand was to be on guard.
As for what the Demon King wanted to do, the Hollow Jade Sect could only wait and see before deciding.
”It's not impossible. In short, it's better to be cautious.”
Disciples and disciples who were about to enter the sect were the hope of the sect. If the Monster race were to really take action against disciples who were about to enter the sect, the consequences would be unimaginable.
There were many disciples out there looking for children with good aptitude to enter the sect. If they were to be attacked by the Demon King, they would definitely suffer heavy losses. Wen Shu was somewhat worried.
