Chapter 62: "Not Seeking Longevity, Only Seeking Battle Power."
". . ."
Chen Qiu glanced at the scholar, still having his cultivation? This was the first time the scholar had been so blunt about his cultivation, although he could have guessed it before, but neither of them had explicitly acknowledged it.
However, he didn't say much about it.
Instead, he pondered for a moment before speaking softly, "How did you find out that someone intends to sacrifice the million cultivators of Fufeng City to the heavens? Are there any traces of Demon Cultivators or Demon Monarchs at work?"
The scholar, sitting cross-legged on the ground in the small alley, remained silent for a while before replying in a hoarse voice, "This method is very familiar. The person behind it is Demon Monarch Wan Yaozi, a Demon Cultivator who often uses the tactic of controlling countless demons to attack the various towns and villages outside the city, sacrificing the lives within to greatly enhance his cultivation."
"I've been chasing him down before."
"But this thief is extremely cunning and has many means of escape, and my attempts to kill him have been unsuccessful multiple times."
"Later, after my downfall, I didn't have the time to deal with him, and I never thought that he would grow stronger in these years. Looking at the rampant demons in the sky, this person's cultivation has reached the Foundation Establishment Apex, just one step away from breaking through to the Golden Core. He only needs to sacrifice the million lives within Fufeng City to break through on the spot."
"The demons outside the city are all under his control, and they lose their sanity while becoming more aggressive and fearless of pain. Once they swarm together, they will be unstoppable."
"No one in Fufeng City can match them, and the best strategy is to quickly escape before the formation is complete. Unfortunately, it's too late."
Chen Qiu didn't speak but scanned his surroundings. At this moment, numerous soldiers in armor had already climbed up the city walls, and strategic supplies were continuously being delivered to the top of the walls, including single-use artifacts, talismans, war-level Spirit Treasures, array disks, and more.
The city's defenses were not weak.
According to the scholar, the demons outside should be at most at the Foundation Establishment Apex, as Demon Monarch Wan Yaozi himself was only at the Foundation Establishment Apex cultivation level. How could he possibly control Golden Core demons?
In the Great Xia Kingdom, almost every city lord is a Golden Core cultivator. Although Fufeng City is a mortal city, the city lord's cultivation is relatively weaker, only at the Foundation Establishment Apex, but they are still officials of Great Xia, making them nearly invincible among their peers.
Moreover, the master of Ask Heaven Market is a Golden Core powerhouse. As long as the city lord sincerely asks for their assistance, dealing with a Foundation Establishment Apex Demon Cultivator should be a stable task.
Furthermore, Fufeng City currently gathers many young talents from Great Clans and Major Sects. The combined forces backing these young cultivators are not weak. If the young cultivators are trapped in the city by a Demon Cultivator, how could the Golden Core powerhouses behind them ignore it?
Additionally, the Great Xia Kingdom would never allow their Fufeng City to be slaughtered. By now, they must have received the news, and it's possible that city lords from nearby cities are already on their way to reinforce.
A single Foundation Establishment Apex Demon Cultivator, under so many factors, doesn't seem capable of slaughtering Fufeng City.
On the contrary, it seems like a suicidal move.
At this moment, Fat Dragon also had a puzzled look on his face, "Can a single Foundation Establishment Apex Demon Cultivator really be so intimidating, even threatening to slaughter Fufeng City? Didn't you, Brother Qiu, also kill a late-stage Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator before?"
"It's not the same."
The scholar shook his head, "Demon Cultivators are just a bit unorthodox in their methods, and they can still be considered normal people. Their battle power is slightly stronger than their peers, but not by much."
"Demon Cultivators are truly invincible among their peers."
"Not seeking longevity, only seeking battle power."
"Moreover, their various bizarre methods are hard to guard against. Transcending boundaries in battle is a common strategy, just like this Demon Monarch Wan Yaozi. As far as I know, he has at least three methods of escaping and fleeing, each at the cost of his lifespan."
"There are countless other bizarre methods, and this person also has an extremely strange ability. When the demons he controls die, they turn into a sea of blood and flesh, which then recomposes into ten demons. The three souls and seven spirits of the original demon will each enter one of the new bodies, lacking spiritual awareness but possessing only a bloodthirsty instinct. Their strength will be slightly weaker than before."
"Of course, these ten demons will completely disintegrate upon death."
"Even so, it's still a terrifying ability."
"If you kill one of his demons, it will immediately turn into ten demons."
"The more you kill, the more there will be, and you'll never finish."
"Unless you quickly find his location and deliver a decisive blow, these waves of demons will bring extreme terror to Fufeng City within a few hours."
"I understand your concerns. As for my pessimism, follow me."
As his voice fell, the scholar's green sword trembled in his sleeve, turning into a streak of light that shot towards the city wall, leading everyone to a section of the wall with fewer city defense soldiers: "Take a look outside."
Although his green sword couldn't fly out of the formation, it could move freely within Fufeng City.
The situation was chaotic at this moment, and many cultivators with decent cultivation had volunteered to climb the wall to defend the city.
The dark clouds stretching for thousands of miles blocked almost all the light, and lightning flashed within them. The spirit fields around Fufeng City had already been trampled by the demons.
Countless demons surged in from all directions, surrounding Fufeng City in the middle.
However, as these demons were about to rush towards the city wall, their speed gradually slowed down, and they didn't launch an attack immediately. Instead, they surrounded the city, seemingly waiting for something.
The entire wall was filled with a chilling atmosphere.
A major battle was inevitable.
Even the air seemed to be filled with a bloody scent, and numerous black crows with pale eyes and white feathers could be seen perching on the eaves of buildings.
The scholar silently looked down at the countless ferocious and roaring demons outside the wall and said in a low voice, "Although Demon Monarch Wan Yaozi could forcefully control demons before, based on my understanding of him, his divine sense, even after reaching the Foundation Establishment Apex, couldn't possibly control so many demons."
"Most likely, Demon Monarch Wan Yaozi has joined the Demon Palace, a force composed of Demon Cultivators. Every member of this force is a Demon Cultivator, but for so many years, no one has found their headquarters."
"The Demon Palace possesses a Supreme Foundation Establishment Treasure with only one effect: greatly enhancing divine sense. This treasure, as far as I know, is the strongest in the Great Xia Kingdom for enhancing divine sense."
"Only with this treasure can Demon Monarch Wan Yaozi control so many demons with his Foundation Establishment Apex cultivation. This also means that the Demon Palace is behind this disaster, and it's a completely different concept from Demon Monarch Wan Yaozi alone. The Demon Palace also has Golden Core experts within."
