Chapter 660: Chapter 518: The Demon Clan Suffers a Loss, Yang Mei Awaits Transformation

However, it wasn’t long before both furrowed their brows, their expressions revealing deep thought.

"We can’t sense anything at all, could it be that the other party isn’t in the Yang clan?"

Their mission had been to find a Saint from the Demon Clan, but now they couldn’t even detect a hint of Demonic Qi, which left them both puzzled.

"Impossible, the Demon Ancestor’s instructions can’t be wrong, they must be within the Yang clan!"

Heavenly Demon asserted with unwavering conviction.

"Let’s question the people of the Yang clan and find out!"

Ancestor Wu Yu said directly.

Heavenly Demon nodded, and together with Wu Yu, they headed straight for the City Lord Mansion in the city.

Although the great battle of Saints had not affected the Yang clan’s city, the anomaly in the sky was known to every member of the Yang clan.

Watching the two Saints brazenly cross the city’s halfway point in the air, heading straight for the City Lord Mansion.

Not a single cultivator in the city, big or small, dared to step forward and stop them.

"Where is the person in charge of the Yang clan city? Come out!"

Heavenly Demon stood in front of the City Lord Mansion and shouted loudly.

"Look, no wonder the Saint from the Buddhist realm appeared here; it turns out the Yang clan has already formed ties with the Buddhist realm. They’re so brazenly building Buddhist temples in the city."

Ancestor Wu Yu pointed at the temple originally built for Ksitigarbha and said.

"It’s just a small temple; today, it shall disappear!"

Heavenly Demon sneered, then flicked his finger. The originally towering structure crumbled under the force of his qi, with the surrounding buildings also affected.

But Heavenly Demon didn’t care about harming the innocent; what he did was based solely on his own preferences.

"May I know the purpose of the visit from the two esteemed Saints of the Demon Clan?"

"The annual tribute from our Yang clan has already been paid at the beginning of the year."

Yang Aotian hurried over from the Yang Clan Ancestral Land, and as for the collapsed temple, he didn’t even glance at it, acting as if it had nothing to do with him at all.

"Stop wasting words, the Demon Ancestor has sensed a newly ascended Saint of our Demon Clan near your Yang clan city, tell me where they are! Once we find them, we will naturally leave!"

"Even if you behave well, we may not pursue your Yang clan’s collusion with the Buddhist realm. Furthermore, in acknowledgment of the Demon Ancestor, we might even spare your clan from tribute for ten years!"

Although Yang Aotian was a One-Step Saint himself, Heavenly Demon didn’t take him seriously at all, speaking in a haughty tone.

"This... Saint? Our Yang clan has been peaceful recently; we haven’t had any new Saints arise!"

Yang Aotian was clearly aware of the situation with Ksitigarbha, but faced with Heavenly Demon and Ancestor Wu Yu, he still pretended to be ignorant.

"Who said it was a Saint from your Yang clan? It’s a newly ascended Saint of our Demon Clan!"

Heavenly Demon glared at Yang Aotian.

"Then I’m even less likely to know. My Yang clan submits to the Demon Clan, dutifully pays tribute every year, and wouldn’t dare to inquire about the affairs of the cultivators of the Demon Clan."

Yang Aotian adopted an appearance of sincere fear and loyalty.

"Your words do not determine what is and isn’t. Let us investigate and all will be clear!"

Just as Heavenly Demon was about to accuse Yang Aotian, Ancestor Wu Yu spoke first.

Heavenly Demon glanced at Wu Yu and finally nodded at Yang Aotian.

If the other party claimed ignorance, then investigating was an obvious course of action.

"Then please, both esteemed Saints, feel free to do as you will."

Yang Aotian adopted an obliging demeanor.

At least in name, they were still a vassal of the Demon Clan.

Ancestor Wu Yu and Heavenly Demon didn’t delay, directly using their Primordial Spirits to probe the entire Yang clan city.

For cultivators, probing directly with one’s Primordial Spirit was considered extremely impolite.

Almost everyone in the city felt the pressure of the Primordial Spirit, but remembering the visitors were from the Demon Clan, no one dared to speak up.

Even when Heavenly Demon’s Primordial Spirit swept over the City Lord Mansion and clearly saw the Ancestor of Yang Clan enjoying the services of two maids in his study room, the Ancestor behaved as if he didn’t sense the investigation and continued with his affairs, utterly unconcerned.

This was the authority of the Demon Clan, within their dominated expanse of the Void, no city would dare to defy them.

Even treated thus by the Demon Clan, the Yang clan could only accept everything humiliatingly.

However, as the Primordial Spirit’s cover extended, the expressions on both Wu Yu and Heavenly Demon turned increasingly ugly, for they had searched the entire Yang clan city and, apart from a few Saints of the Yang clan, completely failed to sense the presence of a Saint from the Demon Clan.

"Could it be that your Yang clan has already taken drastic action? You should be well aware of the consequences of killing a member of the Demon Clan in this expanse of the Void, not to mention killing a Saint of the Demon Clan!"

Heavenly Demon looked at Yang Aotian and directly questioned him.

"Saint, I’ve told you, I have not seen any Saint from the Demon Clan!"

"In this expanse of the Void, I have not detected the aura of any foreign Saints either."

"The only two Saints’ auras detected are those from the Buddhist realm!"

Yang Aotian said to Heavenly Demon in a neither humble nor haughty manner.

His previous servile demeanor seemed to have completely vanished.

"Good, very well, it seems that your Yang clan truly does not fear annihilation! Don’t forget, the final word still belongs to the Demon Ancestor!"

Heavenly Demon laughed in fury, not expecting that a One-Step Saint would dare speak to him in such a manner.

"My Yang clan is indeed a vassal of your Demon Clan, so when the two esteemed Saints visit, whether it is to destroy buildings in our city, ask for someone, or cover the entire Yang clan with your Primordial Spirits—"

"All these things, my Yang clan will acknowledge! But to talk about annihilating my Yang clan, you, as a One-Step Saint, I’m afraid you still lack the strength!"

A voice of authority rang out, and Heavenly Demon and Wu Yu felt a chill as if they had plunged into an icy pit.

The two looked towards the City Lord Mansion, their eyes revealing disbelief.
