Chapter 849: 649 Mystic Sect Internal Strife_2

Poor Taoist?

Hearing Jiang Chen’s self-reference suddenly change from "I" to "poor Taoist," this subtle shift caught the attention of the three demons. They realized that Jiang Chen was now speaking in the identity of a Mystic Sect disciple, rather than as a member of the Human Race.

Mystic Sect...

The sudden change in Jiang Chen’s demeanor made the three demons realize that there must have been some unforeseen calamity in this demon-slaying affair, something they knew nothing about.

The three demons gradually sensed that something was amiss, and an ominous thought surfaced in their hearts. But by the time they thought of withdrawing, it was already too late.

"What about those deeply hidden demons that Emperor Lord spoke of?" Filled with doubts, the three demons bravely asked.

"They are the group of Demon Immortals!"

"These demons have hidden themselves so deeply, even masquerading under the name of Demon Immortals to blur the vision of the common folk. Alarmingly, they have succeeded and have been operating under the name of Demon Immortals in Dongsheng Divine Continent for hundreds of thousands of years."

Jiang Chen’s reply did not catch the three demons by surprise; he indeed intended to make a move against the group of Demon Immortals.

"Emperor Lord, the identities of that group of Demon Immortals are very complicated. This matter requires careful consideration, and there may be some misunderstandings. After all, atop the Dongsheng Divine Continent, there are several Great Divine Transcendents in position. If there indeed was an issue with that group of Demon Immortals, it’s impossible for them to go unnoticed."

The three demons were unwilling to take action against the group of Demon Immortals and tried to persuade Jiang Chen to change his mind.

Because they knew the identities of these Demon Immortals were extensive. Some were the protectors of the Mystic Sect doctrine; others were simply disciples of some Great Divine Transcendent and had inextricable ties with the Mystic Sect – their backgrounds were vast and not something they could afford to offend.

"Since the Great Ancient times, there have been no Demon Immortals, only demons. This is what my master, the Upper Qing Saint, has just said. What do the three esteemed friends think?" Jiang Chen looked at the three demons and spoke indifferently.

"This..."

The three demons were so shocked they could not speak, for they had not anticipated that the person planning to act against the Demon Immortals was not Jiang Chen, but the Upper Qing Saint.

This was a matter that could shake the heavens!

It must be known that behind this group of Demon Immortals in the Dongsheng Divine Continent stood the Great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect. With the Upper Qing Saint suddenly making a move against them, his intentions were obvious, and it was clear he was targeting the Great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect.

This was a sign of infighting within the Mystic Sect!

Considering this, the three demons dared not continue thinking, for fear that by entertaining any more such thoughts, they would perish on the spot.

"Thirty thousand li away, there is a Whitehead Mountain. Its master calls himself the Elder White, appearing to the world as a truthful immortal of the Tao, but in fact, he is a white-haired heron, an offspring of the Ancient demon gods, who, along with his accomplices, has been lurking in the Dongsheng Divine Continent, plotting a staggering scheme."

Jiang Chen pointed towards the east, informing the three demons that a demon lurked thirty thousand li away.

The hearts of the three demons, although curious about the great affair Jiang Chen referred to, all resisted asking. Since it was a earth-shattering matter, it was best they remained ignorant of it, lest they become entangled in it and provoke some catastrophic trouble.

"Are the three esteemed friends not curious? You should know that this affair concerns your very lives and fortunes," Jiang Chen said with an eerie smile, glancing at the three demons.

"What! It concerns our lives? Dare I ask Emperor Lord, what exactly is this great matter that relates to our lives?"

Now, the three demons could no longer hold back and urgently asked Jiang Chen.

"A major event related to the Demon Clan and of an earth-shattering caliber could only concern Di Jun Taiyi, what else could it be?"

"I’m not afraid to tell you, that group of Demon Immortals are all die-hard loyalists of the Ancient demon clan. They lurk in the Dongsheng Divine Continent with only one purpose: to consolidate the Fate of the Demon Immortal lineage and resurrect Di Jun Taiyi!"

Having said this, Jiang Chen paused and then turned to speak to the three demons, "My three esteemed friends, what do you think will happen if Di Jun Taiyi is resurrected and sees the three of us? Will he squash poor me first, or will he squash you three demon ancestors first?"

The three demons did not speak, but their faces turned exceedingly ugly, as if they had been constipated for days on end.

Jiang Chen was right; if Di Jun Taiyi were to be resurrected, he would surely erase them. The title of demon ancestor was tremendously inflammatory; it was basically an insult to Di Jun Taiyi, proclaiming, ’I am your progenitor.’

Even ordinary people would find this intolerable, let alone an invincible figure like Di Jun Taiyi.

"How audacious!"

"How audacious!"

"This group of fiends, they truly deserve to die!"

"To commit such unforgivable and heretical acts under the guise of Demon Immortals, they must not be allowed to live!"

"Di Jun Taiyi, the prime evil responsible for world destruction, an unparalleled great demon of all ages, is trying to revive them. These abominations cannot stay, they must be executed to the extreme!"

The attitudes of the three demons instantly changed, and they began to call for the slaughter of that group of Demon Immortals.

Whoever tried to resurrect Di Jun Taiyi would become their utmost enemy, the kind they would not rest until dead.

"Emperor Lord, do not be anxious. Thirty thousand miles away, is it? Just watch the methods of us three brothers and see how we capture that white-haired elder!"

Without waiting for Jiang Chen to make a move, the three demons were already eager to set out. They seemed even more urgent than Jiang Chen.

This was quite normal because, after Di Jun Taiyi’s resurrection, he would kill them, but not necessarily Jiang Chen.

If Jiang Chen were attacked, that would be like stirring up a hornet’s nest. Today your Demon Clan kills our Human Race’s prodigy, then tomorrow our Human Race can certainly kill your Demon Clan’s prodigy. From one thing to another, a world-destroying war would erupt.

Jiang Chen had a powerful background and would not come to harm, and even if Di Jun Taiyi was truly resurrected, he wouldn’t be afraid.

However, the three demons had no such backing—if killed, there would be no one to avenge them. Thus, they were more anxious than Jiang Chen to prevent Di Jun Taiyi’s resurrection.

"Let’s go, together."

"That white-haired elder is not simple; he has somehow obtained the strength of an Innate Dao Sovereign." Shaking his head, Jiang Chen indicated that he would accompany the three demons.

That white-haired elder was quite interesting. On the surface, he was a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and in reality, he was indeed a Great Luo Golden Immortal. However, he was an Ancient Great Luo Golden Immortal, which is to say, today’s Innate Dao Sovereign.

There were so many demons and fiends nearby, yet Jiang Chen specifically chose to make a move on this white-haired elder, naturally because he was special. Concealing one’s strength was good; the deeper it was hidden, the easier it was for Jiang Chen to make calculations against him.

"Let’s go!"

While the three were discussing, the army had already assembled. Jiang Chen swept his great hand, and infinite mists rose beneath the feet of the millions-strong army, lifting their bodies as they floated toward the east.

...

Jiang Chen not only didn’t use Divine Abilities to hasten their journey, he deliberately suppressed their speed, choosing not to march quickly but to advance at a normal pace.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The unified strength of millions of Gouchen Demon Soldiers created a tremendous wave of power, like a massive dark cloud that covered the sky and obscured the sun, casting endless gloom upon the people below.

"Heavenly soldiers?"

"Weren’t the demons already thoroughly captured? Why haven’t these heavenly soldiers left, but instead continue to penetrate deeper into Dongsheng Divine Continent?"

The commotion Jiang Chen caused was huge; not to mention nearby experts, even those far from this location, a hundred thousand miles, a million miles, tens of millions of miles away, were disturbed and turned their gazes in this direction.

"Looking at the direction this army of heavenly soldiers is heading, it’s the location of Whitehead Mountain, the domain of the Great Immortal Whitehead. What’s going on? Seeing the murderous look of these heavenly soldiers, could it be that they intend to strike at Great Immortal Whitehead?"

"Madness, absolute madness!"

"Great Immortal Whitehead is a well-known immortal saint of Dongsheng Divine Continent, bathed in radiant golden light of Merit, always benevolent to others. In a radius of tens of millions of miles, countless experts have received his grace. These heavenly soldiers actually dare to make a move on him—are they not afraid of causing big trouble?"

"Let’s go, a major event has unfolded. Hurry to Whitehead Mountain and see if we can be of any help."

Some perceived the intentions of Jiang Chen and the others from the direction of the Gouchen Demon Soldiers’ advance. Their expressions changed suddenly, and they quickly called their friends to rush towards Whitehead Mountain.

By that look, some seemed to intend to support the white-haired elder. Should the heavenly soldiers truly cause trouble without reason, they would not hesitate to intervene.
