Chapter 922: Chapter 27 Atop Seven Kings Ridge [2-in-1]_2

Cai Yi was an ancestor capable of illusionary transformations, and she recognized at a glance that the other was transformed from the Human Clan.

The Heavenly Master himself took action to intercept Chu Liang and sent his subordinates disguised as the Demonic Clan to kill him, undoubtedly aiming to enrage the Human Clan and provoke war between the two clans to achieve his Dao of Chaos!

Yet, she couldn’t allow Chu Liang to die at the hands of the Demonic Clan; he must appear to have been killed by the Human Clan.

Cai Yi realized that her goal differed from that of the Heavenly Master this time.

Therefore, she did not reveal her identity but instead twisted her body and deftly dodged the strike, counter-attacking and repelling the incoming "Fox Demon."

The Heavenly Master, hiding in the shadows, felt surprised as well; Chu Liang had dispelled his Divine Skills so quickly. Could it be that this young man already possessed some power of the Eighth Realm?

That was terrifyingly powerful.

Out of apprehension, he waved his hands, and instantly from each fingertip sprung a wisp of ethereal white silk, all aimed at binding Cai Yi.

Whiz, whiz, whiz, whiz, whiz——

With all ten fingers in motion, the threads all attached themselves to Cai Yi, who, this time, did not dodge.

Upon seeing this, the Heavenly Master’s eyes hardened, and with a clang he tore all the threads apart.

Boom!

Unexpectedly, "Chu Liang" remained unharmed, while Xiao Wuyin, who had been pretending to attack him, collapsed to the ground as if deprived of all senses.

But the Heavenly Master’s curse was clearly cast upon Chu Liang!

Cai Yi let out a slight smile and abruptly turned to leave.

Just now, she had used the Dao of Wanxiang to switch her fate with Xiao Wuyin’s, causing Xiao Wuyin to bear the brunt of the Heavenly Master’s strike for her.

Seeing Xiao Wuyin fallen and Chu Liang leaving, the Heavenly Master quickly went to remove the curse from Xiao Wuyin. Xiao Wuyin gradually regained consciousness, but was still extremely weak.

"This youngster has become quite a force to be reckoned with, proving to be so difficult to deal with," she said weakly.

"That couldn’t have been the real Chu Liang; it’s very likely it was the Fox Demon King in disguise," said the Heavenly Master.

"The Qingqiu Demon King?" Xiao Wuyin said. "She also disguised herself as Chu Liang?"

"Exactly," replied the Heavenly Master. "It seems the Demonic Clan also plans to kill Chu Liang. Today there’s chaos at Seven Kings Ridge; let’s retreat for now. Send a message to Wuyan; cancel the operation and hurry down the mountain."

He had guessed the Demonic Clan wanted to deal with Chu Liang, but he didn’t expect them to come up with the same scheme as his.

Things just got complicated.

The situation was somewhat embarrassing.

"Okay," Xiao Wuyin acknowledged the order, opened a green pouch with a flip of her hand, and released a small bug with a crystalline carapace.

She relayed her message to the bug and then let it go. Having been imprisoned for several years, they had no chance to make use of the epoch-making social network of immortals and were still using this traditional method of sending messages.

However, after the bug flew out for a while, there was no word in return.

Xiao Wuyin immediately frowned and said, "Wuyan must have run into trouble."

...

Boom, boom, boom——

Xiao Wuyan didn’t just run into trouble; she ran into big trouble.

Although she had anticipated that causing trouble on Seven Kings Ridge might attract an attack from the Demonic Clan, she didn’t expect it to come so fiercely and quickly.

She had only slapped that guard at the foot of the mountain, and while moving up, she didn’t even see any demonic creatures. But soon after, she saw a pair of black wings darken the sky, and the Demon King Black Gold Crow had arrived!

Following the death of Demon King Yi, Black Gold Crow was undeniably the most powerful among the Demon Kings. And he had been summoned by a single slap?

Xiao Wuyan knew that couldn’t be possible.

It must have been Chu Liang himself who had done something. The Demonic Clan’s actions were clearly aimed straight at his life, and instead, she had inadvertently taken the arrow for him.

Boom!

With iron wings unfurled, Black Gold Crow charged and directly demolished a stretch of mountain.

The reason for his appearance here was also rooted in history.

Within the Demonic Clan, there were voices opposing Cai Yi’s decision to negotiate a truce. Among those voices, Black Gold Crow, the head of the pro-war faction, was the most vehement.

Apart from the Ice Domain Demon King siding with Cai Yi, the other Demon Kings thought, now that the Demon God had revived, why not just charge ahead and battle, instead of playing mind games with the Human Clan?

They had quite a misunderstanding of Cai Yi’s planning.

It was only because Cai Yi previously brought in Daoist Cang Sheng to save the Demon God, earning great merit, and now her authority even surpassed that of the Grand Priest. Therefore, all the plans set by the Qingqiu Demon King couldn’t be refuted by them.

To those Demon Kings who had long been displeased with Chu Liang, a troublemaker repeatedly thwarting their plans, Cai Yi had asserted she had her own plan and forbade them from taking action.

Throughout the days since the Human Clan’s envoys arrived, the pro-war Demon Kings had been feeling quite uneasy.

This negotiation was bound to end with dissatisfaction on both sides. Only after a battle resulting in heavy losses would one side be willing to make concessions.

And just recently, minions had brought news that Chu Liang, a member of the Human Clan delegation on Seven Kings Ridge, had brazenly stormed up the mountain, smashing several outposts and injuring many guards.

Especially one Tiger Demon guard, who was beaten by Chu Liang repeatedly three times, amounting to a downright humiliation and causing severe trauma to the young Tiger Demon.

Black Gold Crow couldn’t bear it upon hearing this. Cai Yi had already been too yielding and conciliatory toward the Human Clan. Now, to allow them to rush Seven Kings Ridge and approach Lord Demon God was the last straw—he had to take action!

That Chu Liang, he must die!

With such fury, Black Gold Crow flew to Seven Kings Ridge, vowing to shred and burn that member of the Human Clan. His sharp eyes surveyed the area, and at first glance, he spotted the figure of "Chu Liang."

Boom——

Black flames surged, sharp wings slashed through the air.

The enormous figure pursued, and with a single strike, nearly cleaved Xiao Wuyan in two.

She wanted to say she wasn’t Chu Liang, but even if she wasn’t, any Human Clan member who breached Seven Kings Ridge was surely doomed. Moreover, the enraged Demon King might behave even more wildly.
