Chapter 617: Chapter 496 Waiting for the rabbits, there’s no return once you come out

While the others also felt that this idea was somewhat bold and risky, they all agreed that what Jiang Ziya had said was not entirely without reason.

For a moment, they all quickly concurred.

Then it was time for Ghost Car to run his errands during their trip to the Underworld to disrupt the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Jiang Ziya also needed to arrange for others to create chaos in the Three Realms to divert attention for them.

As they were discussing the details, Wang Yang’s figure had already appeared in the sky above Western Cow Hezhou.

As the most likely hiding place of the Demon Clan, this was naturally the first stop for Wang Yang’s investigation.

In front of him was Mount Meru, originally the Buddhism Dojo, now turned into the Expounding Teachings Sect’s Dojo.

However, after the war between the Various Sects, the Expounding Teachings Sect was faced with a dilemma of weak succession.

Now, only a group of Heavenly Immortals remained, with just a few Golden Immortals and, sadly, only one Daluo Golden Immortal.

Wang Yang did not concern himself with these matters, as past events had become fleeting memories. He had more important affairs to attend to now in Western Cow Hezhou.

Hidden within the Void, Wang Yang began to unleash the power of the Space Dao, gradually spreading through the entire Mount Meru.

Simultaneously, according to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, every grass and tree on Mount Meru, touched by the Great Dao of Wood, contained within it the Great Dao of Earth and the Way of Water spreading across it.

These were unique skills of Wang Yang, as everything in this world inherently contains the Great Dao. If there were any signs of deviation from the natural laws of Heaven and Earth, they would undoubtedly be from a Demon Nest.

The reason we say these were unique skills of Wang Yang was that, within the Three Realms, only Wang Yang had mastered the complete Fifty Great Dao and could utilize such skills.

Were it someone else, not to mention locating traces of the Demon Clan, even touching those natural Dao would be difficult.

Before long, the entire Mount Meru was enveloped, but Wang Yang detected nothing unusual. He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart and began moving to the next location.

This meticulous search might seem foolish, but it was undoubtedly the most effective method.

Wang Yang was pursuing reliability, not speed, hence before proceeding to each new location, he would first conceal himself, make certain that his aura was not leaking, and ensure that no one could detect him before he slowly began his actions.

When Wang Yang’s figure appeared in the Mara Mountain Range in the southwest of Western Cow Hezhou, his form momentarily froze.

Because in his perception, there appeared something that should not be there—a badge of an Immortal Official!

For the Immortals of the Three Realms, it is mandatory to be registered in the Celestial Court and issued an Immortal Official Badge.

This badge is the proof of an Immortal Official. Because of this, all Immortal Officials regard their badges highly.

After all, without an Immortal Official Badge, they can’t even enter the Southern Heaven Gate, essentially being mere Hermit Immortals.

Yet now, the presence of an Immortal Official Badge in Wang Yang’s perception unmistakably indicated that an official from the Celestial Court had encountered trouble here.

What puzzled Wang Yang most was that, despite an official being in trouble, the Celestial Court had not pursued the matter!

Setting aside the negligence of the Celestial Court for the moment, Wang Yang carefully concealed his presence. He had a premonition that this was the place he was searching for.

His true form sat meditatively in a corner of the Mara Mountain Range, his power of the Great Dao continuously touching the surrounding Dao powers, advancing bit by bit.

He had searched the sky, the ground, the water, and the mountain crevices—Wang Yang checked everywhere, even sensing the underground with the Great Dao of Earth.

But still, he detected nothing.

Finding no issues here, Wang Yang recalled the Immortal Official Badge, feeling like he might have overlooked something, yet also felt that the place was not that simple!

Calming his mind, he alternately released the fifty kinds of Daos, meticulously scanning everything around.

If the deceased Immortal knew that his Immortal Official Badge had been held in such high regard by Wang Yang after his death, it’s questionable whether he would cry or laugh.

The second round of investigation still yielded nothing, and Wang Yang began to doubt whether he was overthinking.

An Immortal Official Badge is indeed extremely important for the Hermit Immortals of the Celestial Court, but countless Hermit Immortals perished in the great battle.

The appearance of one here might just be coincidental.

However, just as Wang Yang was about to leave, a sudden thought emerged in his mind.

Recalling the places he had just investigated, indeed nothing seemed amiss.

But the most peculiar aspect was that there were some elements that Wang Yang just couldn’t remember, as if subconsciously ignored.

"I seem not to have investigated there!"

After reflecting for a long time, Wang Yang felt that this area had no issues, but recalling the Dao forces he had just sensed, he realized he had completely missed a specific area below

The impression was as if the Power of the Great Dao had not touched upon it at all.

This discovery shocked Wang Yang greatly, especially since this was within the Three Realms, where everything under heaven in the Three Realms was inseparable from the Fifty Great Dao.

Since Wang Yang felt absolutely nothing, could it mean that the Fifty Great Dao completely avoided it and was no longer in the Three Realms?

That there was such a mystic place in Western Cow Hezhou, Wang Yang would never believe there wasn’t a single issue with it.

Using the Power of the Great Dao, Wang Yang slowly surrounded the entire Mara Mountain. The process was slow because Wang Yang needed to ensure his Power of the Great Dao was dilute enough not to be perceived by others.

At the same time, he needed to make sure that his Power of the Great Dao could act like his own tentacles, able to relay everything back into his mind.

It was unknown how long it had been, but Wang Yang eventually managed to accomplish this.

During this process, Wang Yang spotted a black robe patrolling and confirmed even more that this was the Demon Clan’s ultimate hiding spot.

Without much thought, Wang Yang used the Power of the Great Dao to define their hiding area while sending a telepathy to Golden Turtle Island, instructing all Quasi-Saints to mobilize and ensure victory in one fell swoop!

Of course, Wang Yang also reminded them to arrive completely silent and even a slight delay wouldn’t matter since he was watching them. They couldn’t escape.

"Why do I feel restless?"

Jiang Ziya frowned, feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Jiang Ziya, you’re not pondering if someone from the Underworld is ambushed among us, are you?"

Ksitigarbha spoke with a smile, "Rest assured, this time there is absolutely no chance of failure, even if Hongjun himself warned them, they won’t have time to react!"

"That would be good, that would be good!"

Jiang Ziya nodded, but a shadow of worry remained in his heart.

...

Because of Wang Yang’s telepathy, Golden Turtle Island instantly buzzed with activity.

The crowd hadn’t expected that Wang Yang’s trip to Western Cow Hezhou, lasting less than a day, would indeed uncover the Demon Clan’s hidden base.

Excited and somewhat thrilled, groups quickly gathered and headed to Western Cow Hezhou without even having time to greet each other.

No wonder they were so thrilled. Firstly, their grudge with the Demon Clan had been growing over the days, with many even perishing at the hands of the Demon Clan.

Moreover, not to mention anything else, the Demon Clan’s speed of escape was also very fast.

Without paying attention, they might have already changed their location.

Previously, the Demon Clan could still contend with the Three Realms, but now, once surrounded, the Demon Clan had only a dead end.

The sacred ground of the original Three Realms, Golden Turtle Island, where Quasi-Saints gathered, was soon left with only those at the Pinnacle of Great Luo remaining.

Including Wen Zhong and Nezha, those who had not broken through to Quasi-Saint watched those Quasi-Saints leave with some envy and admiration.

"May they be victorious and completely eliminate the Demon Clan!"

Li Jing looked toward the west, saying aloud.

"Of course, with Fellow Daoist Wang Yang leading, the annihilation of the Demon Clan is just a matter of time!"

Wen Zhong stood next to Li Jing. After the battle south of Southern Continent Jambudvipa, the two naturally developed a deep friendship.

"From any perspective, the Demon Clan has no hope of turning the tide."

Nezha knew Li Jing still grieved for Giant Spirit God, who had followed Li Jing for countless years but had fallen on the battlefield, naturally increasing everyone’s hatred for the Demon Clan.

However, the Three Realms were no longer the same as before; there was no need to fear anything.

While the people on Golden Turtle Island were still gazing at the west, Xuanzang and others had already arrived at Western Cow Hezhou.

At Wang Yang’s request, all of them concealed their presence, fearing being noticed.

However, as most had never been here, it was ultimately Guanyin and South Pole Elderly Immortal who led the group toward the Mara Mountain Range.

"Fellows, I’ve sensed you all!"

Wang Yang’s eyes brightened as he detected everyone’s arrival, "The Demon Clan is hidden in an unknowable spot here; you can’t sense it, so first follow my instructions and surround this area. Once they come out, we’ll capture them all at once!"

A good hunter naturally has great patience. The thirty Quasi-Saints, under Wang Yang’s arrangement, surrounded the Suyu Realm completely.

They waited only for the Demon Clan to emerge, ensuring they’d have no return!
