Chapter 497: Chapter 261: Heaven Doesn’t Help Me, Can You Endure It?_3

Searching for a Demon Sect avatar adept at hiding in such a vast sea area is not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time.

Yet, Xie Qingxue’s expression was stern, and the crowd nodded in agreement.

Xie Qingxue took the lead, her brows furrowed as she gazed into the distance where demonic clouds gathered—had she accidentally delivered her junior brother right into the jaws of the Demon Race?

...

Zheng Fa and the others were also stunned.

They were so far away; how could these demons still charge at them?

At this moment, the Sun and Moon Clock was by the seaside, and Zheng Fa, with Zhang and others, stood in the main hall of Heavenly Palace Island. A screen was set up in front of them, reflecting the chaotic scene on the sea:

Hurricanes, fragmented clouds, and endless giant waves.

Demonic Qi, blood-colored mists, and innumerable swarms of demons.

They rode the waves, brandishing Magic Artifacts in their hands, coveting this land.

What made Zheng Fa frown was that these demons were overflowing with Demonic Qi, very similar to the people from the Great Freedom Demon Sect.

He turned his head to look at Blood River Ancestor and asked, "Are they cultivating the method of the Great Freedom Demon Sect?"

After some recognition, Blood River Ancestor nodded.

"The involvement between the Demon Race and the Demon Sect is deeper than we thought."

This group of demons appeared to number in the thousands, each exuding the aura of the Demon Sect.

Clearly, they were not cultivated overnight.

The Great Freedom Demon Ancestor probably had long colluded with some powerful beings among the demon kind.

"We know a bit about it too," Yan Wushuang spoke up again, "I’ve heard rumors within our sect that although the Demon Race has powerful beings, they lack the Basic Great Method."

"Hmm?"

"That’s why they are all over the place."

"...What do you mean by Basic Great Method?"

Yan Wushuang shook his head, seemingly also not fully understanding, only saying, "Xuanwei Five Sects and the Demon Sect, they all have the Basic Great Method, with aligned cultivation methods, united and focused."

Zheng Fa suddenly had a suspicion; previously, he had heard that the Demon Race, despite their bloodline inheritance, were disorganized—could it be because they lack the Basic Great Method?

He looked at Blood River Ancestor. Blood River Ancestor seemed to understand what he was getting at: "If my Holy Sect had the Basic Great Method, it would have been passed down through the bloodline of the Saint Ancestor."

Hearing this, everyone frowned.

This was not good news.

The Demon Race lacked the Basic Great Method, whereas the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor seemed to have found a way to mix his bloodline with that of the Demon Race.

Which means, by practicing the methods of the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor, the demon kind could become unified, eliminating concerns of internal strife.

And the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor would suddenly gain many followers, significantly increasing his power.

In this case, the biological experiments of the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor... might be quite successful!

Even those Great Freedom Demon Sect experts previously researching something about inducing lust in plants might not actually be perverts.

Well, they still are quite perverted anyway.

Thinking about his utilization of Blood River Ancestor, Zheng Fa suddenly felt a connection between himself and the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor...

In essence, this was all speculation. The pressing issue now—those demons seemed to be heading straight for them!

There were some fishermen by the sea, sailing their boats, casting nets to fish.

Suddenly, as the demons arrived, the surging waves overturned their fishing boats, sweeping up countless fishermen who watched in despair as the monsters drew closer.

Surprisingly, although these demons eyed the mortal food with greed, not a single one made a move to bite; instead, they grabbed them and threw them together.

Seeing this, Zheng Fa became anxious. He pointed at the Sun and Moon Clock, and a thundering jungle stood between these demons.

Their motive was all too clear—they were gathering mortals for crafting the Blood Slaughter Flag!

With a determined mind to rescue these mortals, he had no choice but to make a move!

Zheng Fa manipulated the Sun and Moon Clock, hundreds of thunderbolts shot like arrows into the mass of demons.

Zhang, without a word, revealed herself, her Jiushan transforming into a protective light shield, enveloping the mortals, and whisking them inland.

As the mortals landed, still dazed, they seemed to believe they were dreaming.

When they came to their senses, many of them knelt toward Zhang, who was floating ethereally in the sky.

Zheng Fa and his group’s sudden involvement managed to save most of the fishermen, and even caused the monstrous horde in the sea to halt their surging waves.

"Who dares to block my sons?"

In the ranks of the Demon Race, a shouted roar like a hurricane erupted.

The dense congregation of demons parted, and a jade-armored, green-faced man with yellow eyes and pointed pupils, holding a long halberd, stepped forward from the waves. He looked more like a mortal warrior than a cultivator.

But no one from the Jiushan Sect dared to underestimate him.

For he exuded the might of Divinity Transformation.

Much to their amazement, this man also practiced the methods of the Great Freedom Demon Sect, clearly another Divinity Transformation of the Great Freedom Demon Sect!

This indicated that the influence of the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor on the Demon Race was far deeper than they had realized before.

Even Zheng Fa entertained a thought—the maritime Demon Race might have been the first collaboration site between the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor and the demon kind, and those encountered by the Jiushan Sect before were likely just further experiments.

His gaze returned to Blood River Ancestor.

Blood River Ancestor was also stunned, and after a long pause, he finally said, "I had no idea!"

"..."

From his expression, he seemed to be telling the truth.

After a while, Zheng Fa discovered why Blood River Ancestor was unaware.

Because from the demon ranks, three more Divinity Transformations emerged, each also carrying the aura of the Great Freedom Demon Sect’s cultivation method.

Zheng Fa silently counted; excluding the time for experimentation, raising so many Divinity Transformations couldn’t be achieved in just ten thousand years.

Blood River Ancestor—perhaps he was a bit too young.

Fortunately, there were no other Divinity Transformations in the demon army.
