Chapter 193: A New Crisis Arrives
Since Yun Ruyan had already made her decision, the two of them just needed to give her their support.
Don't forget that Yun Ruyan is also the face of their Celestial Maiden Sect, so they naturally have to give her the greatest support.
After Yun Ruyan finished speaking, she stood up and said, "Master, Sect Master, I will take my leave now. I still have to go to a certain place to deal with the Demon Clan members there."
"I had just prepared to head over there when I sensed the aura suddenly emanating from your side, Master."
"I came over to take a look, and now I should be going."
Ling Wanqing looked at Yun Ruyan, feeling very satisfied with this Disciple. "Go ahead, but be careful. You also know the situation lately."
"Alright, Master, I understand."
Yun Ruyan waved at the two of them. "Master, I am leaving."
After Yun Ruyan left, Yue Xin spoke up, "In these past few days, many of our Celestial Maiden Sect's high-level Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators have been attacked, and several have already vanished without a trace."
"And a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator from the Heavenly Martial Sect has also mysteriously disappeared."
"There is someone within the Demon Race targeting our high-level female Cultivators."
"We must be mindful of this, especially regarding the Disciples of our Celestial Maiden Sect."
After the two discussed some matters, Yue Xin left.
It was rare for her to have someone to confide in, and with Ling Wanqing having reached the Peak Transformation Stage, she hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time.
On Jiang Cheng's side, he walked out of his room, and at this moment, his aura was different from before.
He was now much stronger than before.
All of this was thanks to him using unscrupulous means to increase his strength over these years.
He spent a lot of time on increasing his strength, so he didn't participate in the Demon Race's affairs as frequently.
But he was also clear about the current situation on the Demon Race's side.
Alright, it was time for him to go back; his current power was almost enough.
It would soon be the turn of the three major Sects; everyone in the Celestial Maiden Sect, just you wait.
And the Sect Master of the Celestial Maiden Sect, the same goes for you.
But he had to go to the Old Ancestor's side now; given his understanding of the current situation, he knew without thinking what it was about.
After all, the Demon Race had been hitting walls repeatedly these past few years, and he had long suspected whether there was some issue within the Demon Race.
Forget it, let's see what the Old Ancestor and the others have to say.
Jiang Cheng arrived at the place where the Old Ancestor and the others were gathered; quite a few people had already assembled here, and the high-level members of the Demon Race were basically all here.
Chen An walked up to Jiang Cheng and greeted him. Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "I owe you a lot during this period, Chen An. You were the one helping me handle things while I was away."
"This is what I should do."
"Alright, let us go in as well."
Jiang Cheng saw many new faces; it seemed that while he was away, many more people had arrived from other regions.
They were constantly losing combat strength, but fortunately, they could still replenish it now.
There were also a few more Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators.
Originally, they had planned not to lose so many people, especially high-end combat power; they had lost quite a few Nascent Soul Stage and Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators over the years.
Everything seemed wrong.
They were not fools; their plans had been guessed by others all these years.
When to attack, where the attack point was.
Even who would appear on their side could be guessed.
By the time they arrived, the Human Race would dispatch corresponding people to ambush them.
This caused their plans to proceed very unsmoothly.
It seemed as if the Human Race always knew what their next plan was.
Even if they were prepared later on, it greatly affected the progress of their plans.
This caused their plans to waste a lot of time and gave the people of the Southern Region a chance to breathe, which was something they did not want to see.
They knew that the biggest threat right now was that Ye Lin; if he were given time to reach the Void Refining stage, then all their previous efforts would be in vain.
Gu Tianmo looked around and saw that everyone had basically arrived.
"I presume you all know why we have summoned you this time."
"Our original plans were always seen through by the people on the Human Race's side."
"Then there is only one possibility now, and that is that there is a traitor within our Demon Race who has revealed our plans to the Human Race."
"Otherwise, how would they know about our actions? If it happened once or twice, it would be fine, but they can basically guess it every time."
"I never expected that there would be a traitor within our Demon Race. Now we must find a way to identify the traitor within our Demon Race."
The people below listened to Gu Tianmo's speech, and they understood; they also agreed that there might be a traitor within the Demon Race.
Because everything was too coincidental, they had to be suspicious. It wasn't just them; most of the Demon Race army felt the same way.
Gu Tianmo looked at the crowd. "I believe you all know the seriousness of the matter. You must all go and investigate thoroughly. If you find these traitors, I will make them see a scene even more terrifying than Hell."
After most of the people had left the venue, Jiang Cheng came to the Old Ancestor's side.
Jiang Cheng also suspected that there was a traitor among them, because the facts forced him to believe it.
He would not believe that the Human Race had a powerful figure capable of predicting the future.
If such an existence existed, they would have been wiped out long ago. Moreover, such powerful figures were estimated to be very rare in the Spirit Domain, and might not even exist, let alone in a place like the Southern Region.
All conditions could only point to this clue.
This was the impact Leng Jiahang had brought upon them.
They had had suspicions after their previous failed operations; they suspected it was done by people who had defected from the Human Race to their side.
But after they tested them, they verified this matter.
They discovered that it was not; it was not leaked by those who had betrayed the Human Race.
Then it must be the people who had come over here from other domains.
"Old Ancestor, things have developed to this point, and the original rhythm has slowed down significantly."
"We can only accelerate the rhythm now; we cannot give the Southern Region any time to relax."
Gu Tianmo knew this principle; it was not the first time he had clashed with people from the Southern Region. "I know. The next target is the Mad Blade Sect; they have an Old Ancestor at the Void Refinement Stage."
"This time, we do not need to play by the rules."
"While attacking the Mad Blade Sect, we will divide a portion of our army to find an opportunity to attack another Sect, the Heavenly Martial Sect."
"You go and prepare. I will go and contact people from other regions; we do not have enough manpower here."
"I will have an old friend of mine bring people over. Once we are done fighting these two Sects, it will be the turn of the Profound Heaven Sect and you last three Sects."
On Su Yu's side, he knew that he could not stay in the courtyard for much longer now.
This War between Immortals and Demons was the time he had been out the most in his entire life.
The Demon Race's plan had been eased, but this was only on the surface; it would inevitably lead to a more violent counterattack.
On the Demon Race's side, Gu Tianmo watched the Teleportation Formation light up and laughed, "Old friend, I thought you wouldn't come. With you here this time, this plan cannot fail."
"Originally, I wanted to save you for the end before calling you, but the situation is different now."
"Come on, let the people of the Southern Region witness your power!"
