Chapter 2228 Tremendous Changes in the Tianmeng Mountains, the Birth of the Demon King

In the Tianmeng Mountains, within a vassal family of the Xingyue Immortal Sect.

Zhou Wuyang, as the patriarch of the Zhou family, is currently in seclusion in the forbidden area for cultivation.

Although he is now 500,000 years old, Zhou Wuyang looks no different from a middle-aged man in his forties.

At this moment, the aura emanating from him clearly indicated that he had reached the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm.

He is only a hair's breadth away from the Great Perfection of the Late Stage of the Innate Realm.

"In the end, it was still just that little bit short? Over the years, the family has secured a lot of cultivation resources for me. But in the end, there was still no way to help me advance to the Great Perfection of the late-stage Celestial Immortal realm!"

Zhou Wuyang sighed.

Just as he was hesitating about whether to leave the pass, a faint male voice suddenly rang in his ear.

"A mere late-stage Celestial Immortal realm at the Great Perfection level? Isn't that something easily attainable?"

"Who?"

Zhou Wuyang's expression changed drastically.

He cautiously released his divine sense to rapidly explore his surroundings.

The place where he secluded himself for cultivation was a forbidden area of ​​the Zhou family.

Not to mention outsiders, even the elders of the Zhou family cannot approach them at will.

At this moment, someone actually appeared in the forbidden area where he was in seclusion for cultivation.

How can we prevent Zhou Wuyang from being alarmed?

"I!"

The man's voice sounded again.

Zhou Wuyang had pushed his divine sense to its limit, but he still couldn't see the person who was speaking.

Zhou Wuyang suddenly realized that the person he was talking to must be far more powerful than himself.

"May I ask who you are, senior?"

"Heh heh, I've been sleeping here for so many years. When I woke up, I found someone had taken over my place. I'd like to ask you, what kind of ghost are you?"

The man's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an unparalleled sense of oppression.

This made Zhou Wuyang's expression instantly turn extremely ugly.

Thinking of the Zhou family, they have been spreading and growing in the vicinity for millions of years.

This made Zhou Wuyang disagree with the old man's words from the bottom of his heart.

"Senior, as the ancestor of the Zhou family, I have lived here for 500,000 years. Including our Zhou family's immortal ancestor, our Zhou family has been here for millions of years."

"This is already our Zhou family's territory, so how can you say that we've taken over someone else's place?"

Zhou Wuyang appeared respectful, but he harbored a lot of resentment in his heart.

The man who was speaking to him laughed heartily at that moment.

"A mere few million years, and you dare to say it's not a case of usurping someone else's place? I've been in seclusion here for so long that I've lost track of time."

"Oh, right. Since your Zhou family has occupied my territory for so long, you must pay some price!"

The man's voice suddenly became sharp.

Before Zhou Wuyang could speak, a dark shadow suddenly appeared from an inconspicuous corner and swiftly entered his body.

Soon, Zhou Wuyang let out a miserable scream, his expression turning extremely terrified.

But after a while, Zhou Wuyang's expression returned to its coldness.

However, at this moment, a strong demonic aura was constantly emanating from Zhou Wuyang's body.

He seems to be somewhat different from the Zhou Wuyang of the past.

"This physical body is still inferior to my physical form. However, if I devour the Zhou family, it should allow me to return to the Golden Immortal realm, right?"

"Hehe, if I hadn't suddenly sensed my master's presence not long ago, I'm afraid I would have had to lie low for a while longer!"

Zhou Wuyang gave a cold laugh.

Soon, he disappeared from the spot in a flash.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Wuyang transformed into a ball of black light and disappeared from the Zhou family home.

However, the Zhou family completely disappeared after that.

No member of the Zhou family survived under the Star Moon Immortal Sect.

Just as the powerful demon possessed Zhou Wuyang.

Throughout the Tianmeng Mountains, many small families have suffered tragic deaths one after another.

Even the Immortal Cultivation Sect is no exception.

……

Changsheng Xianzong, in the Intelligence Hall.

Cui Yuntian, the head of the Intelligence Hall, was looking at the jade slip in his hand when his expression turned extremely ugly.

Seeing this, Wang Qinghua, who was standing to the side, also frowned slightly.

"These guys are too arrogant. They actually attacked several families under our Longevity Immortal Sect overnight!"

“These families who suffered such a terrible fate had their lifeblood and vitality drained from them, from top to bottom.”

"This method is far too cruel!"

"Even the Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect wouldn't do something like this."

Wang Qinghua frowned.

His whole body was filled with murderous intent.

Not long ago, she received a top-secret intelligence report from the Intelligence Bureau.

Several vassal families under the Changsheng Immortal Sect were uprooted overnight.

In fact, their methods were extremely cruel.

None of the disciples of the Longevity Immortal Sect who were sent out to investigate the matter returned.

Wang Qinghua felt that this matter was extraordinary, and immediately sent the intelligence to Cui Yuntian.

"Junior sister, this matter seems to be more complicated than it appears!"

After reading the contents of the jade slip, Cui Yuntian frowned even more deeply.

Wang Qinghua asked with a surprised expression, "Senior brother, what did you see?"

"Look, these families are far apart. In fact, several families are even fighting each other over cultivation resources."

"To say that these families were all murdered in a feud is completely impossible!"

"Furthermore, these families were all uprooted. This is no ordinary matter!"

"I feel that there are many strange things about this matter."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qinghua seemed to recall something and immediately said, "Not long ago, I heard about another matter. It is said that in our Tianmeng Mountains, there are quite a few small families who have also been wiped out."

"These small families are very scattered. In fact, they don't have much contact with each other."

"However, these small families that were wiped out do have one thing in common."

"That's the area occupied by their family, the place where powerful demons fell back then!"

Upon hearing this, Cui Yuntian's expression changed drastically.

"Junior sister, our Tianmeng Mountain Range was originally an ancient battlefield where the demon race and the immortal ancestor fought in the ancient True Immortal Realm!"

"Back then, in order to suppress the evil energy in the Tianmo Mountains, Yaoguang Cave invited a powerful expert to set up a great formation! This completely isolated the entire Tianmeng Mountains from the outside True Immortal Realm."

"Let the power of rules and other elements within the entire Tianmeng Mountain Range become completely self-contained!"

"For example, we Golden Immortal realm experts living in the Tianmeng Mountains can have our divine senses covering a range of millions, or even tens of millions of miles."

"In fact, if we go outside the Tianmeng Mountains, the range of our divine sense is only a few hundred miles, or even a thousand miles."

"Moreover, because the Tianmeng Mountains are completely isolated from the True Immortal Realm."

“It is difficult for strong people who have lived in the Tianmeng Mountains for a long time to make any progress in their cultivation.”

"Back then, that senior, with his extraordinary talent, left the Tianmeng Mountains to explore the outside world. Yaoguang Cave then secretly monitored the Tianmeng Mountains, attempting to find that senior and his legacy!"

"In my opinion, the people of Yaoguang Cave are not after that senior's legacy, but rather they are worried that that senior is colluding with the powerful demons who fell back then!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qinghua suddenly realized what was going on.

"No wonder the people of Yaoguang Cave have been secretly keeping an eye on the top geniuses in the Tianmeng Mountains all these years. Could it be that they are worried that these top geniuses are related to powerful demons?"

"Hehe, it's hard to say. After all, you can't see into someone's heart. It's common for many people to use the guise of searching for powerful demons to secretly do shady things."

"What you say is absolutely right, senior brother. But how should we deal with this now? Are we just going to turn a blind eye like this?"

“Of course not. Immediately notify everyone in the Longevity Immortal Sect about the attack on the small family. And strictly investigate all the experts entering and leaving the Longevity Immortal Sect. If you find any suspicious people, report them in time. The two of us will take action ourselves.”

"Senior brother, aren't you afraid that those demon experts are very powerful, and that the two of us alone are no match for the other sects?"

"Junior sister, if those demonic experts are truly powerful, why bother targeting smaller families? Wouldn't it be better to directly attack a powerful sect like our Longevity Immortal Sect?"

"Yes, Senior Brother is right. In that case, I will go and arrange this matter immediately!"

After Wang Qinghua finished speaking, he immediately turned and left.

However, Cui Yuntian stood still, gazing solemnly into the distance.

His expression was extremely bitter.

"The demon race has emerged, and the battle has reignited. It seems that our Tianmeng Mountains are about to be in complete turmoil."

"But the demon race's powerful figures have been sealed away for so long without any movement. Why would they choose to cause trouble at this particular time?"

"I do not believe that this was all a one-sided scheme by the powerful demons!"

As Cui Yuntian said this, a cold, mocking smile appeared on his lips.

Soon, he pointed his delicate hand in the air, and a huge array of light appeared in the void.

Before long, a powerful figure with an unfamiliar face appeared on the screen.

The strongman's face was completely shrouded in a thick fog.

His face was so obscured that it was impossible to see it clearly.

"Fellow Daoist Cui, what business do you have with me?"

"Hehe, fellow Daoist, you are also one of the inspectors of Yaoguang Cave. Have you forgotten your duties?"

“I have been detached from worldly affairs for many years. Moreover, over the years, the affairs of the Tianmeng Mountains have been handled by Junior Sister Bingling. If you have any matters to attend to, why not go directly to Junior Sister Bingling?”

"Hehe, fellow Daoist, you're quite the joker. Your junior sister Bingling is quite devoted to the Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect. How could she possibly care about our Longevity Immortal Sect? So, I had no choice but to turn to you!"

The powerful figure on the light screen remained silent for a long time, his expression changing several times.

Then he said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Cui, if you have something to say, please speak frankly."

"Fellow Daoist Qin, I would like to ask you, what do you think about the sudden massacre of those small families in the Tianmeng Mountains?"

"This old man... of course, will open his eyes and see!"

"Hehe, fellow Daoist, why make such a joke?"

"Hmph, you should know that I am only a half-step Golden Immortal. Even if I knew some things, would I really dare to tell you? Fellow Daoist Cui, I will not stoop to your level because of your status as a Golden Immortal. Please have some self-respect!"

"Hehe, fellow Daoist, you have quite the arrogance. I was merely inquiring about some matters; why are you being so secretive? Could this matter be related to your Yao Guang Cave?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Although our Yaoguang Cave has done some outrageous things, we have never been ambiguous when it comes to dealing with the demons. This matter has absolutely nothing to do with our Yaoguang Cave!"

"Who does that have to do with?"

"Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect!"

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Cui Yuntian's expression turned extremely ugly.

At this moment, he finally understood why so many powerful demons had suddenly appeared in the Tianmeng Mountains.

It turns out that the Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect was secretly plotting this.

……

Tianyuan Valley, near the Black Demon Forbidden Land.

Chen Xuan, Chen Peng, and Bai Zhi, hiding in the shadows, watched the giant lightning hand in the distance kill so many True Immortals in an instant. The expressions on their faces became extremely interesting.

Bai Zhi was utterly shocked.

Chen Xuan's eyes were full of surprise.

Chen Peng, however, looked puzzled.

"Master, why is this lightning power so malevolent? It seems to contain a dense demonic aura. Could it be that a powerful demon from the Black Demon Forbidden Land has made a move?"

Chen Peng moved his lips slightly, transmitting his voice to Chen Xuan.

After pondering for a while, Chen Xuan nodded slightly.

“I have the same feeling. But we can’t say for sure without absolute certainty. However, I think this thunder and fire formation should break down soon.”

"We'll see how things go then!"

Just as Chen Xuan finished speaking, a piercing explosion suddenly came from outside the Black Demon Forbidden Land in the distance.

Soon, the huge protective light barrier exploded with a bang.

The lightning and fire array that blocked the entrance to the Black Demon Forbidden Land also completely collapsed.
