Chapter 417 - 417 416 Heading to the North Sea

417: Chapter 416: Heading to the North Sea 417: Chapter 416: Heading to the North Sea Ha!

Hah!

Demons roared, mountains trembled, and all around them demons were arranging their troops in formation, their various weapons flashing with a cold light.

The intense combat between them lent an air of deadly solemnity to the entire Heavenly Ridge.

Three years had passed, and under Ye Xuan’s stringent methods, order had been firmly established in Heavenly Ridge, and the incidents of demons devouring humans had ceased, with every demon’s cultivation significantly improved.

Inside the Nine Demon Cave!

Spiritual plants were cultivated, exuding an ancient fragrance and the dense nature’s spiritual energy circulated within the cave.

Ye Xuan was gently plucking the strings of a nine-stringed guqin resting on his knees, spreading the ethereal notes around him, creating an aura of serene contentment.

Surrounded by a halo of demon light, Ye Xuan appeared majestic.

Amidst the faint music, he seemed all the more mysterious, exuding an enigmatic aura.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

The music flowed like water, wave upon wave, until a graceful figure entered the Nine Demon Cave and the music abruptly ceased.

“Big brother!” the Qingqiu King bowed.

“What is it?” Ye Xuan caressed the strings, a wave of demon light rippling out as the nine-stringed guqin vanished.

He looked up at the Qingqiu King.

“Big brother, the North Sea Dragon King has sent an invitation, asking our brothers to attend the Group of Immortals banquet,” the Qingqiu King said and handed a golden invitation to Ye Xuan, who casually accepted it.

“Group of Immortals banquet?”

Ye Xuan smiled slightly, opening the invitation.

After a dozen moments, he threw the invitation on the table, falling deep into thought.

The content of the invitation was simple, its words polite.

The North Sea Dragon King had long admired Ye Xuan and hoped that he would lead the Demon Kings to the banquet, stating there were important matters to discuss.

Of course, the so-called admiration was merely lip service; the North Sea Dragon King had heard that Heavenly Ridge had a new master now that the Blood God King was gone.

Naturally, he wanted to forge a good relationship with Ye Xuan.

“Big brother, shall we attend or not?” the Qingqiu King inquired.

Ye Xuan snapped out of his reverie, a sly smile playing on his lips.

He spoke calmly, “This North Sea Dragon King is merely a Luotian Mystic Immortal, yet ranked among the Immortal Class and backed by the Heavenly Court.

Nevertheless, he has widely issued invitations to the various Great Demon Kings of the Northern Continent, which makes this very interesting.

We should indeed go and see for ourselves.”

Seeing the sly look on Ye Xuan’s face made the Qingqiu King’s heart tighten, a sense of unease washing over her, yet she forced a smile, “Big brother, although the North Sea Dragon King’s cultivation is weak, he has cultivated relationships broadly with the Great Demon Kings of the Northern Continent, acting almost like brothers, truly a well-connected figure in all directions.

”

The Qingqiu King paused, her brow slightly furrowed, adding, “But the North Sea Dragon King’s invitation wasn’t for you alone but for all the renowned Heavenly Demons of the Northern Continent.

Little sister fears there may be a hidden agenda here.”

“A hidden agenda?”

Ye Xuan grinned grimly, “No matter what purpose the North Sea Dragon King has, it does not really matter.

I simply wish to see what formidable figures are truly hidden within the Northern Continent.”

“Let’s go.

Notify the Swallowing Heaven Toad and the Candle Dragon King; you three will accompany me to the North Sea Dragon Palace.”

“Yes, big brother.” The Qingqiu King did not dare delay and swiftly left the Nine Demon Cave to send the message to the others.

Looking at the receding figure of the Qingqiu King, Ye Xuan gave a chilling smile.

There were some words he had not outright said because Ye Xuan had never taken the North Sea Dragon Palace seriously.

He didn’t care about what the North Sea Dragon King had planned by inviting various Demon Kings; Ye Xuan only wanted to use this gathering of Immortals to see which powerful Heavenly Demons resided in the Northern Continent.

After all, three years had passed, and he was about to unleash a storm of blood and violence across the Northern Continent.

Taking advantage of the gathering initiated by the North Sea Dragon Palace to meet these Heavenly Demons was a matter with only benefits and no drawbacks.

…

Atop Heavenly Peak.

A black ancient chariot stood there, with nine Evil Dragons harnessed and bowing down, and at the beckoning of the Candle Dragon King’s ingratiating invitation, Ye Xuan stepped onto the chariot and sat cross-legged while three Great Demons followed and stood by his side.

“Farewell, Big Brother!”

The remaining nine Great Demons bowed deeply and, accompanied by the roaring cheers of mountainous demons, the nine Evil Streams roared and the chariot, enveloped in a monstrous demon cloud, soared upward toward the North Sea Dragon Palace amid thunderous noises.

In the Heavenly Vault, demon lights filled the sky.

The roaring of the Evil Dragons vibrated through the void; the demon clouds churned endlessly.

The three Great Demons released terrifying demonic auras, instantly stirring the winds and clouds of heaven and earth, evoking extreme reverence in those who glanced their way.

Led by the Evil Dragons with the chariot serving as a carriage and accompanied by Demon Kings, the spectacle of this procession alone was a rare sight in the Northern Continent, indirectly highlighting Ye Xuan’s supremely noble status.

Crossing Changtian with rolling demon clouds, the nine Evil Dragons pulled the black ancient chariot incessantly.

The journey of eighty million miles took half a month, and along the way, it attracted the astonished gazes of the continent’s demons, wondering which Heavenly Demon was traveling with such formidable majesty.

Demons cleared the way, and evil creatures were swept aside; nothing untoward occurred en route, nor did anyone dare bother Ye Xuan and the others.

The North Sea, vast and boundless, with dark blue waters stretching endlessly, occasionally swept by high-reaching waves, the tremendous surging waves roared endlessly.

If mortals witnessed this scene, they would invariably tremble with fear.

“Big Brother, ahead is the North Sea.

We will soon arrive.

I remember last time I visited the North Sea Dragon Palace was thirty thousand years ago.

Back then, the old Dragon King of the North Sea was warmly hospitable, and upon departure, he even gifted me many precious Spiritual Treasures from the Heavenly Ridge,” the Candle Dragon King said with a sinister smile.

Boom!

The black ancient chariot flew past the clouds and finally appeared above the North Sea.

At the Candle Dragon King’s words, Ye Xuan slightly smiled, but how could the Spiritual Treasures of the North Sea Dragon Palace catch his eye?

Screech!

Suddenly, a shriek tearing through the Heavenly Vault resonated, and from the Western sky, a trail of fire emerged, rapidly rolling towards Ye Xuan’s location.

“Ha ha.”

“Candle Dragon, old pal, I heard Heavenly Ridge has a new master.

Could you introduce me to this fine Daoist?”

The fire dissipated, and a red Jade Chariot appeared.

This chariot was crafted from Red Flame Jade Stone and was pulled by three Flame Golden Crystal Beasts, flanked by several bewitchingly beautiful demonesses; amongst them, a Daoist clad in a fire robe sat in the center of the chariot, laughing heartily.

“Big Brother, this is the Huo Ya Daoist, the master of Jiuyang Cave.

His cultivation is at the peak of Luotian Golden Immortal, and his ability to wield the Samadhi Fire is extremely formidable; he is indeed a prominent figure in the Northern Continent,” the Candle Dragon King introduced, bowing to Ye Xuan.

“Huo Ya, old friend, this is my big brother, Kong Li, the new master of Heavenly Ridge,” the Candle Dragon King said with a smile, evidently very familiar with this Huo Ya Daoist.
