Chapter 699: “Are you looking for me?”

Three Eternal Envoys stood proudly in the Void Realm.

The surrounding space-time was distorted, masking all of their auras.

Being able to travel here from the Central Heaven, the three Eternal Envoys not only had strengths that reached the third realm of the Three Realms of Leisure,

but they had also mastered numerous methods for concealing their auras.

Without the latter, in the event of encountering a Source Demon,

let alone the third realm of the Three Realms of Leisure, even someone as strong as an Eternal Child

would be driven to flee in exhaustion.

"Something is wrong."

Reminded by the Silver-Eyed Man, the man and woman behind him also grew alert.

It was not that they had failed to realize this in time, but rather that their detection range was inferior to that of the Silver-Eyed Man.

If it were only a small area where the number of Demons was scarce, it wouldn't be anything strange.

However, as the man and woman probed toward a broader region, they similarly discovered a scarce number of Demons across the entire area.

In other regions, to say nothing of Source Demons, a Great Demon could be detected every short distance.

There were even terrifying giant demons approaching the level of Source Demons.

Yet here…

the Demons ravaging this world had actually become a rarity?

Based at least on the investigation results of the three Eternal Envoys, they only found some demon spirits, and they had just been conceived and born recently.

"Could something major have happened in this region?"

The Silver-Eyed Man and the other two Eternal Envoys looked at each other, their expressions solemn.

There being no decent Demons across an entire region was by no means a good thing.

With the strength of the Qingyun Saint Sect, they simply couldn't accomplish this.

Even if they could do it, they wouldn't do it.

Unless there was an absolute crushing superiority in strength, clearing out the Demons in an area would only attract a greater number of even more powerful Demons to approach.

Between heaven and earth, Demons were endless; even an Eternal Sect could only struggle to resist them.

For other Sect forces, the most effective method was to completely hide rather than directly confront them.

Because they simply couldn't fight them all off.

Demons would not die; even if their demonic bodies were obliterated, they would undergo Rebirth elsewhere.

"The communication rune of the Qingyun Saint Sect has not yet been destroyed, nor is it moving, nor has it been contaminated by Devilish Qi." The Silver-Eyed Man's mind stirred slightly, and a cyan rune similarly appeared before him, which he carefully sensed.

The communication runes bestowed by the Eternal Sect to major Saint Sects not only possessed the abilities of transmission and positioning, but could also briefly sense the surrounding environment.

At least for now, that communication rune of the Qingyun Saint Sect had not suffered any destructive impact.

"What should we do now?"

The female Eternal Envoy asked.

The number of Demons in this region made them feel that something was amiss.

"Let me take another look."

The Silver-Eyed Man flipped his right hand, and another rune emerged.

This rune appeared purple, and as it bobbed up and down, an obscure ripple spread in all directions.

"There are no overly powerful Demons in the nearby area," the Silver-Eyed Man said with a frown after withdrawing the purple rune a moment later.

A moment later, the Silver-Eyed Man withdrew the purple rune and said with a frown.

A large area without the trace of Demons might mean that an even more powerful Demon had been born in this region.

Although Demons lacked conscious thought, they possessed instincts and knew to retreat when facing an even more powerful Demon.

However, after the Silver-Eyed Man probed with special runes, he did not discover the traces or auras of any powerful Demons.

"Bizarre, truly bizarre."

The three Eternal Envoys looked at each other.

Even in the Central Heaven, such a situation was rarely encountered.

A large area without Demons, nor the traces of any more powerful Demons.

Of course, this was under the premise that the three Eternal Envoys assumed the Qingyun Saint Sect lacked the strength to sweep through the surrounding area.

Furthermore, even if they had the strength, there was no need to specifically sweep through it.

"Then are we still going to the Qingyun Saint Sect?"

The male Eternal Envoy couldn't help asking.

"We came here carrying the will of the great Eternal Lord."

The Silver-Eyed Man glanced around. "If the Qingyun Saint Sect has fallen, naturally there is no need to go, but based on what the communication rune has detected, the Qingyun Saint Sect still remains."

Implied meaning:

They still had to go.

"That's true."

The female Eternal Envoy nodded.

Currently in the Central Heaven, the various Eternal Sect forces were struggling to resist the Source Demons.

A large number of Experts had fallen. One must know that Experts who fell at the hands of Source Demons would have their mental will eroded, making Clones, Incarnations, and life-saving methods useless, resulting in their complete demise and death.

Therefore, the current Eternal Sect urgently needed fresh blood, and a portion of this blood relied on the numerous Saint Sects and Supreme Saint Sects whose Legacy was still being passed down.

Regarding this, although the Saint Sects and Supreme Saint Sects were very reluctant, they did not dare to refuse.

The reason why the Saint Sects and Supreme Saint Sects were able to persist under the Demon disaster was because the Eternal Sect forces held back that most powerful batch of Demons.

Once the Eternal Sect forces could no longer hold out, the other Saint Sects and Supreme Saint Sects would also be rapidly breached by the Demons.

Only when the Eternal Sect forces held on would the Saint Sects and Supreme Saint Sects have hope of passing down their Legacy.

"Let's go."

"However, be careful."

Pulling back his thoughts, the Silver-Eyed Man continued to shuttle toward the location of the Qingyun Saint Sect.

However, compared to his speed before coming here, the Silver-Eyed Man was obviously much more careful.

With their strength, crashing recklessly through this region would be fine, but the disappearance of a large number of Demons made the three Eternal Envoys extremely vigilant.

Time passed.

A year or two later.

The three Eternal Envoys finally arrived near the Qingyun Sacred Mountain.

"That is the location of the Qingyun Saint Sect."

The Silver-Eyed Man looked at a distant grey Mountain Peak.

Sensing through the communication rune, he confirmed that it was the Qingyun Sacred Mountain.

"It looks like there's no problem."

The two Eternal Envoys behind him observed carefully for a while and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

With their strength, they could naturally see that the grey Mountain Peak was covered in operating runes.

This meant that cultivators were still stationed inside.

If it had been breached by Demons, it should have been a expanse of ruins.

"We still cannot be careless."

The Silver-Eyed Man did not act rashly. "So many Demons in this region have vanished; why is the Qingyun Saint Sect still here?"

"Right."

Hearing this, the other two Eternal Envoys nodded with solemn expressions.

The more normal the Qingyun Sacred Mountain appeared at this moment, the more abnormal it seemed in their eyes.

"I will first split off an Incarnation to sneak into the Qingyun Sacred Mountain to investigate, and only after confirming there are no issues will I notify the Saint Sect Master." The Silver-Eyed Man was very careful and did not plan to immediately let the Saint Sect Master come out to welcome them.

He wanted to see on what grounds the Qingyun Saint Sect was able to establish a foothold in this region.

"Mn."

The two Eternal Envoys behind him nodded.

This was also the safest method.

If there was nothing wrong with the Qingyun Saint Sect and they had just been overthinking it, there would be no loss either.

But if some earth-shattering changes really occurred, this action could save their lives!

The three Eternal Envoys had come with a mission and must not encounter any mishaps here.

Combat power at the third realm of the Three Realms of Leisure, and three of them at once—if they were lost, it would still be quite heartbreaking for the current Eternal Sect.

Especially since the three Eternal Envoys had already been to some Saint Sects and Supreme Saint Sects, carrying promising young Experts from these Saint Sects and Supreme Saint Sects within their portable spaces.

The Silver-Eyed Man's mind stirred slightly.

He split off a portion of his aura to form a figure, which was precisely an Incarnation.

The Incarnation looked similar in appearance to the Silver-Eyed Man, but its aura was much weaker, making it similarly easier to conceal.

The Silver-Eyed Man's Incarnation stepped forward, its figure vanishing as its aura merged into the Qingyun Sacred Mountain.

As Eternal Envoys, they had visited the Qingyun Saint Sect quite a few times, and the runic defensive grand array of the Qingyun Sacred Mountain originated from the Eternal Sect.

Under such circumstances, the Silver-Eyed Man was extremely familiar with the runic defensive grand array of the Sacred Mountain, allowing him to easily sneak into the interior of the Qingyun Sacred Mountain.

The Sect's defensive grand array before and after the great upheaval of heaven and earth was already completely different.

The Sect's defensive grand array after the great upheaval of heaven and earth leaned more towards concealing auras and isolating Devilish Qi, which was also the result of the Eternal Sects in the Central Heaven extending a helping hand.

Hum~

Following the familiar fluctuations of the runic defensive grand array…

The Silver-Eyed Man smoothly arrived inside the Sacred Mountain.

Saint Sect Disciples cultivated in an orderly manner, and the various Elders each performed their own duties.

The Silver-Eyed Man observed for a while and did not discover anything.

"The Saint Sect Master?"

Arriving at the main hall at the highest point of the Sacred Mountain, the Silver-Eyed Man discovered the Saint Sect Master who was cultivating in seclusion.

The Sect Master of the Qingyun Saint Sect was merely an Expert of the sixth realm of longevity, while the Silver-Eyed Man was still in the third realm of the Three Realms of Leisure. Under such a massive disparity in strength, even just an Incarnation could not be discovered by the Saint Sect Master.

"I have basically probed the entire Qingyun Sacred Mountain,"

the Silver-Eyed Man walked out of the main hall and looked down. "Except for there."

The Silver-Eyed Man looked towards the Qingyun Institute. Through his own perception, he faintly sensed that it was a void over there.

He did not perceive anything existing there, but rather completely failed to perceive the space-time deep within the Qingyun Institute.

"Let's go take a look."

After a brief hesitation, the Silver-Eyed Man intended to investigate.

At this moment, he was merely an Incarnation; even if he truly encountered irresistible danger, at most he would only lose an Incarnation.

Thinking of this, the Silver-Eyed Man took a step forward and stood at the entrance of the Qingyun Institute.

Deep within the Qingyun Institute.

Lin Yuan sized up the Silver-Eyed Man, who had wandered around the Qingyun Sacred Mountain.

In fact, when the three Eternal Envoys approached the Qingyun Sacred Mountain, Lin Yuan had already noticed them.

After all, through the communication rune, Lin Yuan knew the whereabouts and positions of the three Eternal Envoys like the back of his hand.

The three Eternal Envoys had stopped not far from the Qingyun Sacred Mountain and deliberately split off an Incarnation to sneak in—all of this up until now had been under Lin Yuan's watchful gaze.

"Quite vigilant."

"Let's go meet them."

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly and flipped his right hand.

At the entrance of the Qingyun Institute.

The Silver-Eyed Man was still considering how to enter.

Suddenly, he found the surrounding space-time shifting, and he had been silently teleported to an unknown space-time.

Before the Silver-Eyed Man could react…

Outside the Qingyun Sacred Mountain.

The space-time where the Silver-Eyed Man's true body and the other two Eternal Envoys were located suddenly collapsed, as if space-time itself was snatched away along with them.

"Where is this?"

The Silver-Eyed Man's true body and the other two Eternal Envoys looked around, their scalps tingling involuntarily.
