#226 - Chapter 226 Lianyunzhou's Greatest Crisis
Above the Continent of Continuous Clouds.
A pitch-black spirit boat, faintly visible within the dark clouds, exuded a dark and eerie aura. On the spirit boat, there was a skull flag, with a large 'Demon' character branded in blood.
Standing on the deck of the spirit boat, leading the army, was a figure whose entire body resembled a skeleton, emanating a red flame.
He was the chief disciple of the Skull faction of the Demon Sect—Ghost Skull.
The Demon Emperor was the master of the Demon Sect, which had twelve factions.
The main faction was the Demon Joy lineage, which was also the Demon Emperor's own faction.
The Demon Emperor was known as Demon Joy because he was playful, carefree, and enjoyed life.
Because the Demon Joy faction was the main faction, the Demon Sects in various continents were all based on the Demon Joy Palace.
When the Demon Emperor was around, his power was overwhelming, and his word was law. With him present, the Demon Sect was very peaceful.
But now, news of the Demon Emperor's death during the cultivation of the 'Extreme Joy Demon Scripture' had leaked out.
People from various factions of the Demon Sect began to seize power, and the entire Demon Sect was in chaos, with no one able to suppress it.
Originally, the Demon Joy faction had been trying to conceal the Demon Emperor's death, and they were secretly preparing to handle the aftermath.
But the Demon Emperor was naturally free and unrestrained, and simply couldn't sit still.
In addition, there were spies within the sect, which led to the chaos.
The twelve Demon Sects were in chaos, suffering countless losses, and the war lasted for more than a year.
"But the orthodox sects will find out."
"So what if they find out? The infighting among those orthodox guys is even more serious than in our Demon Sect. As long as we take the Continent of Continuous Clouds in a short time, our Skull Demon Sect will be able to control the Demon Sect!" Ghost Skull said confidently.
His master was holding back other Demon Sect members in the Demon Sect's headquarters, while he came to the Continent of Continuous Clouds to take action.
"The Demon Emperor has fallen, let the Ghost Skull rise!" Ghost Skull said proudly, and the spirit boat descended directly above the Demon Joy Palace.
Inside the Demon Joy Palace,
Xu Bubai, who was recovering his demonic energy, sensed a very strong demonic aura approaching and walked out of the training room, looking up at the dark spirit boat in the sky.
"Who comes?" Xu Bubai questioned.
As soon as he finished speaking, a fiery red skeleton fell from the spirit boat, its flesh and blood regenerating, turning into a young man with sharp features, well-defined features, and a hint of evil charm.
"Ghost Skull of the Skull Demon Sect!" Ghost Skull said proudly, with his hands behind his back.
"Skull Demon Sect..." Xu Bubai murmured, looking at Ghost Skull with cold eyes, and asked, "Where did you come from?"
"That's right, I am under the order of my master to come and unify the Demon Sect of the Continent of Continuous Clouds!" Ghost Skull said seriously.
"Why isn't it someone from the Demon Joy Sect coming?" Xu Bubai asked.
The Demon Sect was mainly led by the Demon Emperor's Demon Joy Sect. Even if they wanted to integrate the power of the Demon Sect, it should be someone from the Demon Joy Sect who came.
"Demon Joy Sect, ha, the Demon Joy Sect has long declined!" Ghost Skull sneered.
Xu Bubai was shocked when he heard this, and he seemed to have anticipated something.
The day he summoned the Demon Emperor's power of law, he realized that something might be wrong with the Demon Emperor, otherwise he wouldn't have ignored his summons.
And now that the people from the Ghost Skull Sect were here, he couldn't help but have a disrespectful thought.
"Is His Majesty the Demon Emperor well?" Xu Bubai asked.
"Fallen." Ghost Skull sneered.
Hearing this, Xu Bubai slowly closed his eyes.
Fallen, the Demon Joy faction was about to decline.
"Are you handing over power voluntarily, or being forced to hand over power?" Ghost Skull asked, narrowing his eyes.
"I can hand over power voluntarily, and I can also hand over all hidden agents, but I have one request." Xu Bubai opened his eyes and looked at Ghost Skull.
He knew that the Demon Joy faction was about to decline, and other Demon Sects would definitely take the opportunity to seize power.
Ghost Skull came from that place, and he couldn't fight him.
"Speak." Ghost Skull said directly.
"Help me rescue the Old Ancestor from the Star River Sect, and my Demon Joy Palace will definitely follow the lead of Lord Ghost Skull!" Xu Bubai cupped his fist.
Ghost Skull heard this, looked at Xu Bubai's respectful attitude, and patted Xu Bubai's head.
A trace of gloom flashed in Xu Bubai's eyes, but he still endured it.
In the Demon Sect, patting the head is an insult, unless an elder pats a junior, or a strong person pats a weak person.
"Okay, I promise you!" Ghost Skull said with an evil smile.
"Summon the Demon Sect to come to the Demon Joy Palace!"
After speaking, Ghost Skull strode towards the Demon Joy Palace's main hall and sat on the main seat.
...
Star River Sect, on the Carefree Peak.
After the Earth Mother finished teaching, Lin Yaoyao and the others began to initially control the power of nature.
"Has the power of nature become so easy to control?" Lin Yaoyao was a little surprised.
The power of nature she now controlled, although not as powerful as when she was a quasi-emperor, was more refined.
"It's not that the power of nature has become easier, it's that I have allowed you to comprehend the true meaning of the power of nature," the Earth Mother said from the side.
She couldn't understand why Ye Kong, who had a stronger control over the power of nature, didn't teach his disciples to comprehend the power of nature.
In fact, Ye Kong mainly didn't know that the power controlled by the Carefree Fan was the power of nature.
"No one has ever been able to control the true meaning of nature, and you can?" Lin Yaoyao was a little surprised.
What kind of woman did Master meet? She could actually control the true meaning of the power of nature.
"Heh, isn't it something I was born knowing?" the Earth Mother said.
Since she was born as a spiritual plant, she could control the power of nature.
Lin Yaoyao was suddenly speechless. Born knowing?
Even the darling of heaven wouldn't dare to say such a thing!
The Earth Mother's words made Lin Yaoyao even more suspicious of the Earth Mother's identity.
What kind of person could be born with the essence of the power of nature?
Even though she was knowledgeable in her previous life, she had never seen such a person.
After Xiaobai comprehended the power of nature, he didn't continue to study, and was a little absent-minded.
He always felt like something was wrong, but now it was calm and peaceful, and it didn't seem like something was about to happen.
"What's wrong?" Xiaobai muttered in his heart.
He always had a feeling that something had happened, something about him.
But he was fine now, and nothing had happened.
Could it be that I was overthinking it?
I hope I was overthinking it!
Xiaobai shook his head to dispel the distracting thoughts and continued to cultivate.
By the Bitter Sea.
Ye Kong, who was dozing off, was suddenly awakened by the sound of waves.
He opened his eyes and saw that the waves of the Bitter Sea were rolling and crashing on the shore.
"The waves are rising," Ye Kong murmured.
