457 It Has Begun (2/2)
Fang Yuan continued in a calm and composed manner. ”Let's not talk about the fact that they would need to sacrifice a lot to take me down. Are you guys not afraid that I would escape once more and threatened the other array eyes like your worst nightmare? Look at the recent years! Even the Demon Alliance has given up on chasing me.”
”What do you want exactly?”
Xing Hezi grunted.
”Don't worry, I will not disrupt your plans. I only want to see where you all will end up...”
Fang Yuan replied with much composure.
”Haha... Professor!”
At this point in time, there was a commotion in the Core Area.
Zhao Daniu made his way towards Fang Yuan and his face was filled with happiness. ”We have worked together to capture all the members of the Five Elders Association. Now, we are in the process of taking over their military. This city is now back under the control of the country. What do we do next?”
”What do we do next? We shall wait!”
Fang Yuan closed his eyes as he sensed the increasing concentration of spiritual droplets in the air. ”The fourth occurrence might just come tonight!”
”What?”
Zhao Daniu's eyes widened. ”It's not right, there's still some time until the end of the year!”
”Who told you... that the occurrence will only happen at the end of the year?” Fang Yuan gazed at Zhao Daniu with a look of pity in his eyes. ”This is according to nature. Isn't it normal to have deviations once in a while?”
However, it was not at all normal for the occurrence to arrive so early!
Even Fang Yuan had only just detected it. It felt as though someone was impatient and wanted to rush things, accelerate the process and catch him by surprise.
”D*mn it!”
Zhao Daniu was panicking. ”We have many arrangements that have yet to be completed. I have not even talked to the other two cities!”
”It's too late!”
Fang Yuan gazed at the horizon with a look of anticipation.
...
”Xing Hezi has been captured!”
In an unknown space, a few holographic images of powerful beings were gathered together as though it was a meeting between international parties.
One of the black shadows spoke first. ”We have already found out the killer. It is Fang Yuan and the Demon Weapon, Extreme Darkness!”
Gazing at the screen in mid-air, the few holographic images remained silent.
”The few of you from the East, what do you think of this?”
An old man sitting in the centre broke the silence. His voice sounded mysterious.
”The Sea Dragon King has already declared that he will not be involved in this. Furthermore, we do not have any agreement with you guys on this...”
Among the people from the west, the imagery which represented Farquhar spoke. ”Furthermore... Can the few from Hidden Cultivators Sect ensure that the array will continue to remain active?”
”More than half of the array eyes have already been operational for the past 10 years. Even if we want to destroy it now, I'm afraid that will be impossible!”
An elder of the Hidden Cultivators Sect shook his head. ”Huiming City has been invaded, but that is a small issue. The few of us elders will personally guard the important array eyes. After all, according to our detection of the heaven's will, the fourth occurrence will arrive earlier than expected. This is a change that has not happened since thousands of years ago! We do not know what it means!”
Everyone remained silent for a little longer. They all knew that they had given up on Xing Hezi.
At the beginning of the new era, during the darkest hours before dawn, no one wanted to be left out.
What about the otherworldly demon?
As long as the two worlds coincided, everyone around would experience an increase in their cultivation to a whole new level. By then, dealing with the otherworldly demon would be as simple as squishing an ant.
”Eh?”
Suddenly, all the holographic images shook as though they had felt a powerful will of the world.
”Is it brought forward once again?”
One of them spoke. ”Tonight?”
”Why would the will of the spiritual will change so suddenly?”
Curtly spoke solemnly. ”Everybody... We should stop playing guessing games with each other. Just previously, I had detected the will of the Spiritual Realm. Not only did it remind me that the occurrence would be brought forward, it also wanted me to remove a threat for it.”
”Why is it so coincidental to happen now, just when Fang Yuan invaded Huiming City... could Fang Yuan have done something?”
”To speak the truth, I have also received the same will and I have vaguely detected that the arrangements in Huiming City seem to be out of place. It seems like this trouble is created by Fang Yuan.”
...
As the 4th Tier powerful beings exchanged glances, finally, it was the person in the centre who made the decision. ”Since this is so, let us do this together! This will be the first operation where the Hidden Cultivators Sect will work with the Demon Alliance. At midnight, we shall gather around Huiming City and attack all at once to remove the threat.”
”Alright!”
Those around felt that this was a good idea.
After such a huge incident, they could no longer trust each other. Even when they were gathered, they were all observing each other to see if anyone were up to any tricks.
Furthermore, that otherworldly demon seemed suspicious. Since they were in this together, they would be able to remove the threat with their combined powers.
Among them, they could possibly even be a 5th Tier powerful being around. After tonight, their full powers would be restored!
With such a powerful alliance, how would a single otherworldly demon be able to fight back?
