Chapter 82: Ten Thousand Demon Forest, Yao Race Incident
In the main hall of the Thunder Sect, a middle-aged man at the Late Stage Golden Core stood there, listening to the news reported by the person below.
"Sect Master, several Sects guarded by Golden Core Stage experts have suddenly appeared. Moreover, quite a few Sects have been wiped out without reason during this period, and many high-cultivation Cultivators have disappeared for no reason."
It seemed like something had happened, but he still had some confidence in his own strength; after all, there were no Sects in this vicinity guarded by anyone at the Nascent Soul Stage.
At the Late Stage Golden Core, he was the pinnacle. As long as he was there, the Thunder Sect would have no problems. His Thunder Hand was no joke.
However, he still needed to send people over to investigate the situation; he had to obtain some intelligence.
"You, find a few people to go over and check the situation. See if there is anything unusual."
"Yes, Sect Master."
It wasn't just the Thunder Sect; many Sects had learned of this news. Sects guarded by those at the Golden Core Stage had basically all sent people to gather intelligence.
As for those small Sects without anyone at the Golden Core Stage, upon learning this, they hurriedly gathered everyone in the Sect to ask if anyone had offended others recently.
It was said that many people recalled everything they had done recently.
"Could it be that I stole a pig from an old man in a village? And it turns out that old man was a peerless expert living in seclusion?"
"It's over, it's over!"
"I remember now too!" Various bizarre statements popped up.
"Alright, alright, be quiet. It seems relying on this is not a solution."
"Don't provoke anyone recently, not even the cats and dogs on the roadside. Many Sects have already sent people to investigate. We just need to behave ourselves."
Everyone knew that things were not peaceful lately, so they all followed the principle of not causing trouble.
Now, even if they saw a wildflower on the roadside leaning over, they would straighten it up.
Jiang Cheng also knew that someone would come to investigate sooner or later, but it didn't matter. The work on their surface appearance had already been arranged.
Even the Disciples of their own Sects didn't know they were a Demonic Path Sect; how could others possibly find out?
He would also intervene in secret. He wouldn't recklessly eliminate the Disciples who came to investigate; that would be equivalent to confessing.
Looking at the information Chen An handed over.
"Let them investigate as they please. Do not alert the enemy. With just these people, they won't discover anything. Once they can't find anything, they will withdraw."
"Tell our people to behave themselves recently and not to cause trouble frequently. We'll discuss things after some time has passed."
"You can appropriately mislead them. By the way, have you arranged the few trustworthy people I told you to?"
"Did you give them the poison pill to eat?"
"They have all eaten it. They must take an antidote every year, otherwise, they will die from the poison."
"Good. Plant them in some Sects guarded by those at the Nascent Soul Stage. These people have decent Aptitude, so those Sects won't reject them."
"Have them obtain intelligence on these Sects and stir up trouble inside. They can be used to incite and manipulate others."
Although these people were trustworthy, Jiang Cheng would not gamble that they would definitely not betray or sell them out.
Therefore, he had to hold their lives in his own hands to minimize the probability of accidents as much as possible.
As for the Eight Great Sects, now was not the time.
It seemed he couldn't just move against those Sects casually recently. Forget it, the big picture was more important.
However, he still had to improve his own strength; he couldn't be blamed for that.
He still had a plan to implement. He wanted to sow discord between the Yao Race and the Human Race so that they could have a better opportunity to act.
He had already sent people there. Let this Southern Region become even more chaotic.
Leng Jiahang of the Profound Heaven Sect calculated the time. Conflict with the Yao Race members was about to break out; this was a good opportunity for him to improve his strength.
His demon transformation pot was about to come in very handy. No one had explained what the cause of this great war with the Yao Race was.
The Yao Race just kept insisting that it was the Human Race that started it first. The Yao Race wouldn't listen to any explanations at all.
They just unleashed destruction on the Sects and cities around the Ten Thousand Mountains Forest, thereby intensifying the conflict.
The person who obtained the demon transformation pot in his previous life soared to the heavens after this conflict between the two sides.
And the Demon Clan members were also about to show their true colors. He would have to take some action when the time came; he couldn't let the schemes of the Demon Clan members succeed.
Inside the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, "Human Race members, are you courting death by mocking our Yao Race like this?"
Just like that, a year passed.
Su Yu was living quite comfortably in the Profound Heaven Sect. He wouldn't stay in the Profound Heaven Sect forever without going out. Occasionally, he would go out to enjoy the scenery, Incarnating as an ordinary person to travel through some cities, and from time to time, he would go to the Utility Disciple quarters to give a lecture.
Needless to say, Ye Lin wouldn't stay in the Profound Heaven Sect for long. Although he was now a member of the Profound Heaven Sect, it was basically impossible to find him in the Profound Heaven Sect.
If there was nothing going on, sometimes he wouldn't even return to the Profound Heaven Sect for three or five years.
The pace of life for Han Shi and the others remained the same. Han Ting now spent less time in the Sect, and of course, Su Yu would also go out to keep up appearances.
At this time, a piece of news was also passed along.
Han Shi found Su Yu, and the two were drinking in the courtyard.
"Brother Su, you must have heard, right? These Yao Race members suddenly organized some Yao Beasts to attack some Sects and cities near the Ten Thousand Demon Forest."
"They suffered quite a lot of damage. According to inquiries, it is said that our Human Race started it first by provoking the Yao Race of the Ten Thousand Demon Forest. There are so many forests where Yao Beasts exist, yet they just had to choose the Ten Thousand Demon Forest."
"I don't know who was so idle that they went to provoke the Yao Race of this Ten Thousand Demon Forest. Now, the conflict with the Yao Race has become increasingly greater."
"They are still constantly destroying and killing people in the surrounding area, and there is no trend of them stopping."
"Various Sects have already sent people to investigate the situation, and have also sent many Disciples to go help those near the Ten Thousand Demon Forest who are being attacked by Yao Beasts."
"I know about this. It seems this matter won't end so simply."
"Let's wait and see for now. Let's see what the next move of each Sect will be. It's just that I don't know if the conflict will escalate later."
At this time, Leng Jiahang was already on his way to the Ten Thousand Demon Forest. He had actively requested to go to the vicinity of the Ten Thousand Demon Forest to support the other Human Race members.
This was a good opportunity for him to improve his strength. He knew this conflict was inevitable. Later, various Sects would send a large number of Disciples to help, and many Elders and Peak Masters from the major Sects would also join in.
Fortunately, the casualties were not very high afterward.
Jiang Cheng watched as his goal had already been partially achieved. When the time came, he just needed to operate in the shadows. Then, he could also go to the vicinity to take action.
By then, if people disappeared, others would only think they were killed by the Yao Race, and they wouldn't suspect him for the time being.
