Chapter 21: The Demon Race Appears

Everyone looked at the black-robed figure that had appeared before them, not daring to act rashly for a moment.

At this moment, Wei Wenjie looked at the newcomer. Fortunately, Uncle Wei was present, so the newcomer would not be able to stir up any trouble; after all, there was a world of difference between the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Golden Core Stage.

It seemed he would not be able to enter the fray. Wang Yang felt the same way at this moment; it seemed he could only give up. It appeared that this Opportunity was not meant for him.

Wei Wenjie turned his head and said to Wei Liang, "Uncle Wei, it is time for you to make a move."

Wei Liang walked slowly toward Jiang Cheng. "Kid, don't waste your energy. Hand over the Yin Yang Art."

He then released the cultivation pressure of the Golden Core Stage, and suddenly, everyone present felt as if a giant boulder was pressing down on them.

Seeing this, everyone realized that this must be the legendary Guardian of the Wei Family at the Golden Core Stage. They had not expected it to be true.

However, Jiang Cheng's expression remained unchanged. He looked at Wei Liang and said, "I did not expect there to be another old fellow at the Golden Core Stage in here, but it looks like you only just achieved your Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage not long ago."

Wei Liang looked at Jiang Cheng's arrogant expression.

"What? Do you think you can fight against a Golden Core expert? Do you not know the gap between the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Golden Core Stage? What gives you such confidence?"

"Whether I have confidence or not, we will know once we trade blows."

"How bold!"

Wei Liang took a step and instantly appeared behind Jiang Cheng, pushing out with a palm. Jiang Cheng did not react in time, and by the time he did, the attack was already about to strike him.

However, he still managed to barely block part of the damage with his sword, but he was still sent flying by the palm strike, crashing heavily into the wall.

Meanwhile, outside, the divine hall was basically empty. Some Disciples had gone back to inform their respective Sects about the incident in the Secret Realm.

Su Yu, however, had not left yet because he had discovered an anomaly that had entered. He wanted to wait and see, while his other companions had gone outside to continue searching for resources.

Su Yu was waiting outside for Wang Yang to emerge; once Wang Yang came out, Su Yu would notify them then.

Here, Jiang Cheng suddenly felt a sweetness in his mouth, and a stream of fresh blood flowed from his lips.

Jiang Cheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Wei Liang with a smile. "As expected, the Golden Core Stage is truly different. I actually did not react in time."

Seeing this, Wei Liang said, "Why? Are you still going to struggle? No matter what, it is futile. Hand over the Yin Yang Art, otherwise, I will have to finish you off first."

Jiang Cheng still had an arrogant look on his face. "Don't think that it is over yet." Subsequently, his entire body was shrouded in a black aura.

A sense of foreboding hung over the hearts of everyone present. The crowd exclaimed in shock, "What is this monster? The aura is so sinister!"

Seeing this, Wei Liang frowned deeply. Could it be Devilish Qi? He dared not be certain, as he had only ever heard of it.

Because too much time had passed since the last War between Immortals and Demons, the Demon Race had not appeared in the Southern Region for many years.

This resulted in most people only having heard of the Demon Race, but few had ever actually seen one in reality.

Wei Liang also set aside his contempt. Seeing this, the crowd retreated one after another, adopting defensive stances.

Wei Liang asked suspiciously, "What kind of Cultivation Technique is this? You wouldn't be a Demon Clan member, would you? The aura is so sinister."

"What? Just because you haven't seen a Cultivation Technique, that means it belongs to a Demon Clan member? That just shows your own shortsightedness."

Before long, the black aura around Jiang Cheng was completely absorbed into his body. At this moment, Jiang Cheng's eyes were blood-red. His cultivation aura had also exceeded the ninth layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage, reaching the Golden Core Early Stage.

Suddenly, everyone on the scene looked grave; this was not good. Seeing this, Wei Liang also knew that there was trouble. Now, Wei Liang was even more convinced that this was a Demon Clan member.

"Now that I have also reached the Golden Core Stage, let's see who is more powerful."

Jiang Cheng operated his Cultivation Technique, and several strands of black Qi appeared in the sky, flying toward Wei Liang.

Wei Liang also knew that it seemed he could not end the battle hastily. He immediately drew his long sword and operated his sword technique. One could see sword light and black shadows clashing at a speed that was unimaginable to everyone present.

The nearby buildings were also collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The crowd scrambled to hide; this was no longer a battle they could touch, and they would be caught in the crossfire if they were not careful.

But after a while, Wei Liang still held the upper hand. Jiang Cheng had not won the clash, and at this moment, both of them were panting heavily.

Wei Liang let out a sigh of relief, but he became vigilant again; after all, he did not know if the Demon Clan member still had any unused tricks.

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng also knew that continuing to clash like this was disadvantageous for him. Subsequently, he no longer hesitated and released several large black hands, which flew frantically toward the people around him.

Those who were caught were instantly pierced through, and those who were not fled in panic. The blood of the people pierced through flowed along the black shadows and poured into Jiang Cheng's body.

Suddenly, Jiang Cheng recovered, and his strength was temporarily enhanced.

Looking at the scene before him, Wei Liang also knew that it was bad. If this continued, everyone would perish here. He hurriedly cast a spell to attack Jiang Cheng.

But in another attack, Wei Liang was now at a disadvantage. The onlookers also knew that if this continued, they would all be finished; they had to find a way to get out.

But there was still some time before the exit opened, and it was unknown if Wei Liang could hold on.

At this moment, Wei Liang also knew it was bad. This Jiang Cheng could recover his spiritual power and temporarily enhance his strength by absorbing blood.

If the fight continued, he would undoubtedly lose. But now he could not retreat; he could only hold on until the time was up. However, he knew in his heart that the probability of being able to hold on until the end was quite small.

Wei Liang took a look at Wei Wenjie, and then charged toward Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng saw this and said, "Old thing, do you still not understand the gap in strength? Let me send you on your way."

The figures of the two clashing constantly changed positions, and everywhere they went, nothing remained intact.

Before long, Wei Liang was struck down by the black shadow. This time it was Wei Liang's turn for fresh blood to flow from the air. At this moment, Wei Wenjie ran up and helped Wei Liang up.

With a trembling voice, he said, "Uncle Wei, are you okay?"

Wei Liang's eyes were firm. "Young Master, you don't need to worry about me. Protect yourself; this old man can still fight."

Wei Liang gently pushed Wei Wenjie away and flew to Jiang Cheng's side.

Jiang Cheng saw this and said, "Old thing, are you in such a hurry to die? I will fulfill your wish."

The two immediately started fighting again, but Wei Liang was gradually retreating in defeat.

Jiang Cheng seized the Opportunity. "Old thing, go to hell!"

Wei Liang saw this. Oh no, it was too late.

Just as the black shadow was about to strike Wei Liang, Wei Wenjie rushed up holding a defensive Spirit Treasure.

He helped Wei Liang block the attack, but Wei Wenjie was still sent flying. Wei Liang hurriedly moved forward to check on him, and Wei Wenjie got up and said, "Uncle Wei, I'm fine."

"This Spirit Treasure of mine can block three attacks from the Golden Core Stage." Seeing this, Wei Liang also set his mind at ease.

But at this moment, Wei Liang knew that he could not hold on either. Fortunately, the time was almost up, and he could only do his utmost to cover the Young Master's retreat.

Just at this moment, Jiang Cheng in the air absorbed the blood of several more people. Seeing this, Wei Liang also knew that he no longer had any hope.

It looked like Jiang Cheng was prepared to kill them all. Subsequently, he looked at Wei Wenjie. "Young Master, I watched you grow up. You cannot have an accident here."

"Your path is still long, and your life has only just begun. Let this old man send you on your final journey."

Subsequently, he channeled all his spiritual power, flashed behind Jiang Cheng, and grabbed him tightly. Just at this moment, the Secret Realm exit was about to open.

Wei Wenjie saw this and knew what Wei Liang was going to do. He hurriedly shouted, "No, Uncle Wei!"

Wei Liang smiled at Wei Wenjie. "Young Master, in the next life, I will still watch you grow up."

Jiang Cheng also understood what Wei Liang was going to do at this moment and hurriedly used all his strength to try and break free from Wei Liang's restraint.

But no matter what, he could not break free. At this moment, the exit opened, and Wei Liang said, "Young Master, run quickly!"

But Wei Wenjie did not move. "No, I'm not leaving."

Wei Liang shouted, "Everyone, do me a favor and take him away by force!"

The crowd also knew that no matter what, they had to fulfill this request. Subsequently, a group of people grabbed Wei Wenjie and flew toward the exit, but Wei Wenjie kept struggling.

Wei Liang, in the air, took a deep look at Wei Wenjie, then accelerated and flew toward the sky, trying his best not to affect others.

Wang Yang, who was pulling Wei Wenjie, also admired this Senior from the bottom of his heart.

Just as the crowd ran out of the exit, a loud noise came from the sky above the Secret Realm, and the entire Secret Realm shook.

Wei Wenjie suddenly shouted loudly, "No, don't!"

At this moment, the people who came out of the Secret Realm scattered and fled, as none of them could be sure if that Demon Clan member had died.
