Chapter 1874 - Chapter 1874 Chapter 822 Bad News for the Demon Witch Before

Chapter 1874: Chapter 822: Bad News for the Demon Witch, Before the Tribulation Chapter 1874: Chapter 822: Bad News for the Demon Witch, Before the Tribulation Within Chaos, a silhouette moved at extreme speed, traversing myriad miles in the blink of an eye, where it passed, the Chaotic Power scattered.

This silhouette was, naturally, Han Yi.

Since his entry into the Ancient Netherworld Dao Domain, with his speed unleashed to the fullest and both Immortal and Gods’ powers erupting, it took him only a few hours to cross an entire Dao Domain.

It was only when he passed through the Dao Domain portal, returning to Fu Heng, that he gradually slowed down.

Thoughts floated in his mind, the last few words he had spoken with Gu Chen Heavenly Venerate were not just a stalling tactic. Should Gu Chen Heavenly Venerate truly be able to bring a middle-stage Divine Reverence Ancient Artifact, he would agree to the exchange.

In the Divine Aperture World, the fragment of Wanming City held no use for him; its utility laid in returning to the Ancient Netherworld, giving it back to the Lord of the Netherworld, the Nether Lord from Wanming City.

Of course, at this stage within the Ancient World, with the appearance of Daoist Immortal Great Venerable, his will would surely cover the entire world. It was quite dangerous for Han Yi, with the body of a Godly Venerable, to set foot there.

Therefore, before any changes at Ancient Kunlun Mountain, or before Han Yi could stand against the Daoist Immortal Great Venerable, he had decided not to personally go.

Upon returning to Fu Heng Dao Domain, Han Yi did not return to the Great Wilderness Dao Palace of the Eastern Realm, but instead headed towards Demon Witch Mountain in the Northern Boundary.

Then, atop Demon Witch Mountain, he summoned the top eight ranking Mountain Masters. Among these eight Mountain Masters, three were of Harmonization, five were of the Outer Path, among which Wangxi Mountain Master, whom he was most familiar with, was now the Second Master, and also the highest-ranking Mountain Master within the Unity Realm Stage.

A few years ago, before leaving Demon Witch Mountain, the First Mountain Master had also convened them to give instructions. Although not revealing where he was going, the subsequent departure of the First Mountain Master with Han Yi was certain to be for an important matter.

And now, which the First Mountain Master yet to return, and only Han Yi returning, an ominous premonition instantly emerged within the hearts of several Mountain Masters.

Atop Demon Witch Mountain, within the Great Hall for discussions, Han Yi remained silent for three breaths, then spoke solemnly:

“I regret to inform you that this time, the First Mountain Master took me to a mysterious forbidden land, and according to verification from several other Demon Witches, the First Mountain Master has presumably fallen within.”

As he traversed the Chaos, Han Yi had already decided to inform the Mountain Masters of Sword Demon Witch Mountain of the First Mountain Master’s demise; they had a right to be in the know.

And furthermore.

Han Yi wouldn’t often be at Demon Witch Mountain. Only when Demon Witch Mountain encountered issues would many Mountain Masters think to seek his aid.

At Han Yi’s disclosure, the expressions of the eight Mountain Masters within the Great Hall abruptly changed, but amidst the shock, doubts arose.

The Second Master, also known as Wangxi Mountain Master, voiced his doubts:

“That’s not right. If the First Mountain Master has fallen, Demon Witch Mountain should have shown some supernatural phenomenon.”

“Two hundred millennia ago, when Sheng Yan Daoist fell, Demon Witch Mountain showed signs of a Heavenly Sovereign’s fall; now, with the First Mountain Master’s demise, the supernatural phenomena of Demon Witch Mountain would definitely be even more intense.”

“But as of now, Demon Witch Mountain remains calm, without any abnormalities.”

The other Mountain Masters nodded in agreement.

Deep down, they did not believe that the First Mountain Master could have fallen so silently and without even any phenomena.

And furthermore.

These Mountain Masters didn’t particularly trust Han Yi, although he was a Godly Venerable, he was not a permanent resident of Demon Witch Mountain and rarely seen there. Strictly speaking, he was not considered to be truly of the Demon Witch Mountain system.

Han Yi’s expression remained unchanged.

He had discovered almost immediately after approaching that the First Mountain Master’s imprint still existed within Demon Witch Mountain, but this imprint did not prove that the First Mountain Master was still alive.

Han Yi speculated that it was the peculiar nature of the Ancient Battlefield of Xi Shu that isolated the information after the fall of the Mountain Master, allowing the Tao Spirit of the Chaos World on this side to still exhibit the Mountain Master’s active imprints.

Regarding the Sheng Yan Daoist mentioned by Wangxi Mountain Master, he was a Mountain Master of Demon Witch Mountain who ascended to Heavenly Sovereign tens of millennia ago. He originally was the Second Master, who succeeded in reaching Heavenly Sovereign level after seclusion, but twenty millennia ago, as Demon Witch Mountain traveled through the Chaotic Ancient Dao Domain, Sheng Yan Daoist suddenly left and soon after, Demon Witch Mountain erupted with signs of his fall.

This was also why, several years ago when Han Yi climbed Demon Witch Mountain, he had not seen Sheng Yan Daoist.

And since then, the originally third-ranking Wang Xi was promoted to the Second Mountain Master.

“The forbidden land the First Mountain Master took me to is beyond the Nine Great Dao Domains, and the First Mountain Master has not left from that place, only the keys he carried emerged.”

“Additionally, this trip to the forbidden land wasn’t just by Sword Demon Witch Mountain, but also included Fire Witch, Wind Demon Witch, Wood Witch, and other Demon Witches of various Dao Domains.”

“Besides the First Mountain Master falling there, Wood Witch Venerable Sage has also perished within. You may secretly inquire with the other Demon Witch Mountains to verify the truth.”

Han Yi’s words made the expressions of the Mountain Masters highly unsightly.

If the First Mountain Master truly had perished, Demon Witch Mountain would be like a dragon without a head. A force, with or without a Heavenly Sovereign, has an immense gap.

Within Chaos, there was no shortage of Heavenly Reverence Level individual cultivators, and the resources accumulated over the years by Demon Witch Mountain would attract the coveting of countless Heavenly Reverence cultivators.

Once the news of the First Mountain Master’s fall spread, it would be a Death Tribulation for Demon Witch Mountain.

However.

There was still Han Yi; although he was the Jiusan Mountain Master, ranking was but a formality. With Han Yi overseeing, Demon Witch Mountain would gain an added layer of safety.

A glint flashed through the eyes of Wangxi Mountain Master, but before he could speak up, Han Yi gestured with his hand, and continued solemnly:

“Additionally, I will not be seated at Demon Witch Mountain for long. My visit here is to inform you of the fall of the Mountain Master.”
