Chapter 73: Demon Chaos Everywhere
After everyone discussed some other details, Zhao Mingyue flew away.
Accompanying her was a Void Refining Demon Race.
Ten years later.
The Demon God Cult set up the Heavenly Dipper Realm-Breaking Grand Formation in Beilin Prefecture of Yuanzhou, opening a temporary passage connecting the two realms.
Countless Demon Race members poured through the passage into Yu Fantian.
Because the Demon God Cult's actions were secretive, the Inner Sect Disciples of the Dao Saint Sect stationed locally did not detect it in advance.
By the time the temporary passage closed and countless Demon Race members spread to the surrounding areas, everything was already too late.
The descending Demon Race, like a natural disaster, rapidly swept across several prefectures.
Upon receiving the report, Lu Mingfang quickly responded.
He successively dispatched over three hundred Inner Sect Disciples and nearly ten thousand Outer Sect Disciples, led by several Elders.
They formed a powerful Cultivator army and quickly headed to the incident site to eliminate the Demon Race.
After more than thirty years of hard fighting and suppression, they gradually extinguished the demon calamity.
However, before Lu Mingfang could catch his breath,
the Demon God Cult struck again, opening another temporary passage in Nanqiao Prefecture of Binzhou.
Because this passage was opened in a desolate area on the edge of Nanqiao Prefecture,
the Dao Saint Sect was completely unaware.
Led by Demon God Cult followers, the descending Demon Race members covertly dispersed and transferred to surrounding areas.
By the time the Dao Saint Sect discovered it, several days had already passed.
The greatest demon calamity in nearly ten thousand years thus erupted.
Although the Dao Saint Sect continuously deployed personnel, it still took over fifty years to roughly purge this demon calamity.
…
Dao Saint Peak, Flying Immortal Hall.
Lu Mingfang was reporting intelligence about the Demon God Cult to Sect Master Feng Xiaotian.
"In less than a hundred years, the Demon God Cult has successively opened temporary passages three times in Yunzhong Prefecture, Beilin Prefecture, and Nanqiao Prefecture, causing great destruction everywhere."
"Some people with ill intentions took advantage of the chaos caused by the demon calamity to stir up trouble."
"More importantly, the Demon God Cult has suddenly become so active. I suspect that Zhao Mingyue's actions might be covering up some greater conspiracy."
Feng Xiaotian, dressed in white robes, stood in the center of the hall, quietly listening to Lu Mingfang's narration.
He did not speak but silently pondered something.
He had never cared much about the Demon God Cult.
With only Zhao Mingyue alone, the Demon God Cult could never amount to much.
The Demon God Cult seemed secretive, but its actual strength was not strong. Apart from Zhao Mingyue herself, there were no other experts.
If it came to a direct battle, the Dao Saint Sect only needed to send a few Body Integration Realm Elders to easily wipe them out.
Although the Demon God Cult had been hostile to the Dao Saint Sect before, it had not accomplished much.
However, this time, the Demon God Cult frequently opened passages to the Demon Realm, which made him wary.
Although the temporary passages opened through the Heavenly Dipper Realm-Breaking Grand Formation could only support low-level Demon Race entry,
these low-level Demon Race might bring considerable trouble to Yu Fantian.
But that was just trouble, nothing major.
Once the Dao Saint Sect took it seriously, it was not difficult to handle.
But he believed that Zhao Mingyue would certainly not do useless work.
Even less likely to do useless work repeatedly.
Zhao Mingyue's actions clearly had some special purpose.
Perhaps she was trying to improve the Heavenly Dipper Realm-Breaking Grand Formation, hoping to use it to summon more powerful Demon Race into Yu Fantian.
Perhaps she simply wanted to throw Yu Fantian into chaos so she could fish in troubled waters.
Of course, a greater possibility was that Zhao Mingyue was planning a major conspiracy.
All her current actions were merely a cover for her conspiracy.
Feng Xiaotian felt that Zhao Mingyue had likely found another weak point in space where she could open a stable two-realm passage.
A fixed passage capable of supporting Mahayana Demon Race to enter Yu Fantian.
But for some reason, Zhao Mingyue had not acted immediately.
Instead, she kept opening temporary passages everywhere to divert the Dao Saint Sect's attention.
As an old monster who had lived for tens of thousands of years, Feng Xiaotian quickly filled in the gaps.
After thinking seriously for a while, Feng Xiaotian asked Lu Mingfang,
"What do you think Zhao Mingyue's conspiracy is?"
"Hard to say."
Lu Mingfang could not figure it out at the moment.
Although he had clashed with the Demon God Cult many times, Zhao Mingyue's current actions were truly too strange.
It was as if she had gone mad, opening the two-realm passage three times in a row.
One must know that every time the Demon God Cult opened a passage, it paid a huge price.
For one thing, merely setting up the Heavenly Dipper Realm-Breaking Grand Formation was no simple task.
It required a large investment of manpower and resources.
Moreover, once action was taken, Zhao Mingyue herself would not show up, so she would naturally be safe.
But her Incarnations would risk being killed.
For Zhao Mingyue, who had already lost multiple Incarnations, she should not be so irrational.
Lu Mingfang could not understand the key point for the moment.
Feng Xiaotian said slowly,
"I speculate that Zhao Mingyue might be preparing to open a truly stable passage."
"Impossible. Except for the location at the back mountain of the Sect, the spatial barriers elsewhere are insufficient to support opening a stable two-realm passage. As for the back mountain, she can't even get in."
Hearing Feng Xiaotian's speculation, Lu Mingfang was greatly startled and subconsciously denied it.
This speculation was really a bit frightening.
"Nothing is impossible. This is the most reasonable explanation. Yu Fantian is vast and boundless. Perhaps there is not only one weak point in space at the back mountain; there should be others elsewhere."
"If one searches carefully, they can surely be found."
"Zhao Mingyue should understand this reasoning too; otherwise, she wouldn't be so crazy."
"Sect Master, how should we respond? Should we mobilize the entire Sect to search together?"
After hearing Feng Xiaotian's explanation, Lu Mingfang felt numb all over.
His first reaction was to immediately find the specific location and then arrange for people to guard it.
To prevent the opening of a new passage.
Feng Xiaotian pondered for a long time, then said with a helpless expression,
"It's too late. Since Zhao Mingyue has found a suitable place, it must have been sealed and hidden by her. Now, trying to find the specific location is as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack."
"Then what do we do? We can't just do nothing and wait for the Demon Race to descend, can we?"
Lu Mingfang was a bit anxious. He felt very passive now, but for the moment, he could not think of a better way to respond.
But they certainly had to do something; sitting idly and waiting for death was obviously not a good choice.
Although none of them had experienced the calamity of a hundred thousand years ago,
according to典籍 records, that great battle was extremely brutal.
The Dao Saint Sect alone lost as many as three Mahayana Cultivators.
It was also because of that great battle that the Dao Saint Sect's strength weakened significantly.
Back then, the Dao Saint Sect had five Mahayana Cultivators, but now there are only two.
Once the Demon Race descends in full force, whether they can repel them is even a question.
The foundation left by the Ancestor cannot be ruined in their hands, can it?
