Chapter 1344: Chapter 1342: the Valley of Demons! Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint!

Demon Beasts, after breaking through to the Divine Elixir Realm, condense a Demon Core within their bodies and can transform into human form, indistinguishable from ordinary members of the Human Clan. However, many Demon Beasts disdain to transform into humans and still retain their demon appearance.

The Valley of Demons is located on the edge of the Litian Dynasty. Due to the numerous Demon Clan powerhouses in the Valley of Demons, even the Litian Dynasty cannot handle them. These Demon Beasts occasionally cause chaos within the Litian Dynasty!

And it just so happened that inside the Litian Dynasty, there was a Peerless Sect, the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, stationed there, which could suppress the Valley of Demons, otherwise, the Litian Dynasty might have already become a territory of the Demon Clan.

Now among the 72 Dynasties of Lingnan, there are five dynasties that belong to the Demon Clan!

And it seems that the Valley of Demons intends to become the sixth Demon Clan Dynasty!

"How can you tell it’s a Demon Beast from the Valley of Demons?" Han Zikun of the Luotian Sect asked curiously.

Bao Song from the Donglan Sword Sect chuckled lightly, "Han Zikun, have you forgotten? The Heaven-reaching Sword Sect has been fighting against the Valley of Demons for hundreds of years. Gui Jing, the old man, is naturally more familiar with the Demon Beasts of the Valley of Demons than we are."

Gui Jing of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect nodded slightly and said, "Gentlemen, do you see that platform where the old man with a dragon-head cane is standing? This man is one of the thirty-six Demon Saints of the Valley of Demons, known as the Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint!"

Upon hearing this, Dong Qian looked over curiously, "Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint, a being of Perfect Yin Saint Realm!"

As the higher-ups of the Seven Major Sects looked over, the old man on the platform, dressed in a black cloth robe, hunched over, with an elderly face, slightly smiled, his lips curling into a bloodthirsty grin.

You Yihu of the Heavenly Sword Sect narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly, "For more than three hundred years, since the Hanhai Dynasty was conquered by the Demon Clan, the demons have always been restless. It seems we must be cautious. Gui Jing, old man, is your Heaven-reaching Sword Sect capable of withstanding the Valley of Demons?"

"Otherwise, should my Heavenly Sword Sect come?"

The Hanhai Dynasty was conquered by the Demon Clan three hundred years ago. Most of the sects within the dynasty were exterminated by the Demon Clan, and the imperial family of the Hanhai Dynasty fled, while other citizens sought refuge in other dynasties!

From the day the Hanhai Dynasty was conquered by the Demon Clan, its name was changed to: Hanhai Demon Kingdom!

Gui Jing of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect said coldly, "If my Heaven-reaching Sword Sect could not withstand them, then the Valley of Demons would have destroyed the Litian Dynasty long ago, and perhaps it should be called Litian Demon Country by now!"

Lou Ming of the Fenxin Sect said, "Let’s hope the tragedy of the Hanhai Dynasty does not repeat itself within the Litian Dynasty!"

Dong Qian, Han Zikun, and Fan Qi all nodded slightly.

Why did the Seven Major Sects just watch as the Hanhai Dynasty was conquered by the Demon Clan?

Actually, it’s simple, because the Hanhai Dynasty is too far from where the Seven Major Sects are located. If the Seven Major Sects and other dynasties were to use their armies to march there, they would definitely have to pass through the territory of some dynasties.

But if large armies enter the territory of other dynasties, those dynasties would surely be unwilling, fearing your motive might be to seize their land under the guise of supporting the Hanhai Dynasty. What then?

It’s possible that before even reaching the Hanhai Dynasty, other dynasties’ armies would have already sparked off war on the Lingnan Continent!

This is also a problem with the power structure on the Lingnan Continent, making it impossible for the dynasties where the Seven Major Sects are located to mobilize large armies to help. Thus, it had to depend on the local forces of the Hanhai Dynasty to oppose the Demon Clan!

It isn’t that the dynasties and sects of Lingnan are unwilling to support the Hanhai Dynasty; it’s because the power structure of Lingnan has severe limitations.

Lingnan Continent, seemingly unified and peaceful, is in reality a fraught division of power, where numerous dynasties exist and even slight friction can lead to a massive war.

Dong Qian said at the moment, "Gentlemen, we’ve wandered off topic. Now we need to focus back and figure out how to deal with this Clouded Leopard!"

"This year is the once-every-five-years peak gathering of the younger generation of our Human Clan dynasties, and naturally, we cannot let the powerhouses of the Demon Clan steal the spotlight. Otherwise, how could our Human Clan establish a foothold on the Lingnan Continent?"

Dong Qian spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, the Honorable George Yi Hu You of the Heavenly Sword Sect immediately got angry, "Dong Qian, your words sound nice, but look at those Warriors down there. They’re almost scared enough to wet their pants by the Clouded Leopard. Do they dare to approach?"

Lou Ming from the Fenxin Sect said, "Exactly, with our status here, naturally, we can’t bully the lesser to teach the Clouded Leopard a lesson, especially since the Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint is eyeing us from the side!"

Han Zikun from the Luotian Sect said calmly, "If it really comes down to it, we should step in and send someone to call The Three Young Masters or the Wine Fairy to come here. We have to suppress the arrogance of the Demon Clan at all costs!"

Lou Ming from the Fenxin Sect said, "It seems we can only call The Three Young Masters and the Wine Fairy after all."

"Hold on!"

Just then, Gui Jing of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect called out with a light laugh.

Dong Qian, Yi Hu You, Lou Ming, and the others all looked towards Gui Jing. Yi Hu You said discontentedly, "Gui Jing, old man, do you still have objections? Do you actually want to watch the Demon Clan’s arrogance continue unchecked?"

Gui Jing from the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect smiled and said, "That’s not what I mean. However, I think there’s no need to call The Three Young Masters. There is someone here who can possibly take care of the Clouded Leopard!"

Dong Qian asked, "Who?"

Gui Jing glanced downward and, seeing a white-robed man drinking on the mountain top, said with a light laugh, "Him! The Successor of the Demonic Sword, Dongfang Bai!"

Dong Qian, Yi Hu You, Lou Ming, Han Zikun, Fan Qi, and the others all followed Gui Jing’s gaze downward.

Just then, they saw Lin Bai sitting on the mountain top, drinking!

"Hmm?" Lin Bai suddenly felt as though someone was watching him in secret. He couldn’t help but lift his head towards the deep Cloud Sky, but within the gathering clouds, he detected no shadow of a person.

Yi Hu You grinned, "His perception isn’t bad; he’s actually noticed our presence."

Han Zikun from the Luotian Sect stated calmly, "So he is Dongfang Bai, the one who has recently caused such a stir across the Lingnan Continent as the Successor of the Demonic Sword?"

Dong Qian commented dryly, "Good he may be, but his cultivation seems a bit lacking."

Gui Jing laughed, "Cultivation being a little weak doesn’t matter. Just a few days ago, he fought a battle against a Strong One from the Yin Saint Realm! His strength is quite respectable, and taking care of the Clouded Leopard shouldn’t pose a problem!"

Yi Hu You said, "This young man came here early, so why hasn’t he thought of taking action? That’s just too lacking in a sense of justice!"

Dong Qian said, "If he could be persuaded to take action, that would be for the best, I also want to see the power of the Demonic Sword! Whether it’s as extraordinary as the Immortal Sword of our Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!"

Dong Qian expressed this, but there was clearly a hint of greed in his eyes.

The Saint Seal Sect, proclaimed the foremost Great Sect of the Lingnan Continent, most sought after the Divine Sword of the Azure Dragon Empire and the Immortal Sword of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!

Gui Jing from the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect smiled and said, "Alright, I’ll approach him myself and give him a little incentive to let everyone witness the power of the Demonic Sword, shall we?"

Dong Qian, Lou Ming, Han Zikun, Fan Qi, and other senior members from the Seven Major Sects all nodded.

They too were very curious about the power of the Demonic Sword!
