Chapter 807 Let's do something

While fleeing for his life, Wei Yuan finally learned the truth. These mirage demons hadn't come to kill him; instead, they had been stunned by the Xuanhuang Bell and then swept back by the flood. Some of the weaker mirage demons had died, while others had stubbornly survived.

However, among this group of mirage demons, there were actually three Yu Jing. Although the strongest of them was only at the mid-stage, they took turns attacking the sky, which made Wei Yuan very busy. He had to hold down one while letting another slip by.

While suppressing the mirage demon, Wei Yuan didn't delay his escape. Human Smoke and Fire raced forward, gradually approaching the edge of the battlefield.

But at this moment, two fishing lines flew down from the celestial realm and landed on the earthly fire, instantly immobilizing Wei Yuan. Then, three or four blue cave spirits surrounded him, clearly with ill intentions.

At this moment, the Star Forest Cave of the Mirage Demon was in ruins. The white-haired Mirage Demon appeared on a high ground a thousand miles away and released the thousands of Mirage Demons hidden in his hair. The floodwaters had spread for a thousand miles, and although it was in the world of mental images, it was still terrifying.

She looked around and saw the land ravaged by the flood, littered with the corpses of her people. Many had vanished without a trace, presumably swept away by the flood. Fortunately, the water came and went quickly, and many mirage demons survived.

She sighed deeply. The Mirage Demon Clan had suffered heavy losses in this great battle, and it would probably take them thirty to fifty years to recover.

Moreover, the floodwaters caused slight changes to the entire Dao of the grotto-heaven. For the grotto-heaven, this was equivalent to the damage to the load-bearing pillar of a house, which was extremely harmful and would be difficult and long to repair in the future.

But it's finally over. After this battle, she should be able to recuperate for decades, right? Thinking of this, she sighed.

The Mirage Demon race has reached its peak. As long as they remain under the command of the immortals, this is the end; there is no possibility of further progress. For the next thousand or ten thousand years, they will be caught in an endless cycle of recovery, battle, injury, and then recovery again, until the immortals perish and their celestial abode collapses. At that time, the people of the world will probably not even know that such a race ever existed.

If you want to change your fate, there's only one way: defy destiny.

As she pondered, her gaze suddenly fell upon a young mirage demon hundreds of miles away. She was slightly injured, but her movements were unsteady, as if she were drunk, and her body was burning hot, completely different from the mirage demon's icy body that could melt water!

As it walked, the mirage suddenly collapsed, coughing up blood, and could no longer get up.

The surrounding mirages noticed and quickly helped her up, taking her to a flat place to lie down. The tribal shaman tried several spells and herbs, but to no avail. Her body temperature continued to rise, and her consciousness began to blur.

Beside the white-haired mirage demon, the young and impetuous mirage demon also witnessed this scene and wanted to fly over to investigate. However, she was stopped by the white-haired mirage demon with strands of her hair as soon as she took off.

"can not go!"

"Why? Our people are sick!"

"I'm not allowed to go because I'm sick! This illness makes me feel very uncomfortable."

"But I'm already in the late stage of the Imperial Realm, what's there to be afraid of..."

"That won't do! Let's talk about it when the Immortal Venerable has some free time."

"You mean, that might be the celestial plague that even Yu Jing fears?"

The white-haired mirage demon's expression was extremely solemn. He slowly said, "I hope this isn't a calamity for my race; it's only just begun..."

Before the words were even finished, the mirage demons who were still tending to the sick demon suddenly trembled, and then their body temperatures began to rise. They looked at themselves in panic, not understanding what was happening.

The witch doctor was extremely busy, using all sorts of ancestral witchcraft, innate secret techniques, and rare herbs, but to no avail.

Suddenly, the witch doctor spat out a mouthful of blood, then collapsed to the ground, his whole body burning hot!
The white-haired mirage demon's divine sense swept across the land, only to discover that mirage demons everywhere in the flood-ravaged region were falling ill. And as soon as one mirage demon fell ill, those around it would fall one after another. This plague spread extremely quickly, had an extremely fierce onset, and was more dangerous than ever before.

Moreover, even outside the flood's reach, some mirage demons were beginning to fall ill! The white-haired mirage demon's hand trembled slightly as it said, "It really is a celestial plague! You, you are so ruthless..."

Suddenly, her white hair fell off in droves, carpeting the ground like snow.

The surrounding mirage demons were shocked; this was a sign of impending doom! The clan leader clearly still had a hundred years left to live, so why was he suddenly about to perish?

The white-haired mirage demon vigorously twirled its remaining hair, swirling up the surrounding mirage demons and sending them one by one into the void. It said, "Once you enter the secret realm, immediately seal the entrance, isolate yourself from the outside, and await the Immortal Venerable's intervention. No matter what happens outside, you are not allowed to open the entrance unless the Immortal Venerable opens it!"

"What about you?"

The white-haired mirage demon did not answer, but simply sent the last mirage demon into the void.

Then her long hair fell down, and she stood on the edge of the cliff, gazing at the sky, motionless.

In the celestial realm, the Star Forest Cave Heaven, which had originally turned to reinforce the battlefield, suddenly slowed down. Then, large, fine cracks appeared on its golden surface, and it shattered, sending countless fragments flying out.

Its light flickered, the gold faded, and finally settled on silver, but there was still a huge dark spot on the silver.

In an instant, the heavens and earth trembled, and countless gazes traversed time and space, coming from all directions and landing on the Star Forest Cave.

Even under the command of the Left Wise King, Xing Sen Cave Heaven would rank among the top five. How could it have been demoted after only a brief encounter with the Light Green Cave Heaven?! Could that Light Green Cave Heaven be a disguise from the true realm of the Time-Evolving Immortal?

The blue grottoes surrounding the human world suddenly vanished as if their backsides were on fire, moving much faster than when they had been chasing them.

The Left Wise King's divine sense swept across the Star Forest Cave Heaven, and his angry voice resounded throughout the Immortal Heaven: "Yan Shi! How shameless you are to use such vicious methods! Aren't you afraid of damaging your path to immortality?"

Yan Shi said lazily, "What nonsense are you talking about... But I'm already at a disadvantage on my path to immortality, so what does it matter if I'm at a little worse off?"

"Very well! I've suffered this loss today, but I'll surely repay you in the future!" The Left Wise King unleashed several bolts of lightning, forcing open Yan Shi's grotto-heaven and forcibly reclaiming his own grotto-heaven, even abandoning the two connected battlefield sections.

The junior national advisor also began to retreat. He didn't have many cave dwellings, so his losses were much smaller.

However, at this moment, the heavens suddenly changed, and a cluster of stars descended from the sky, covering the Left Wise King.

Then a deep, powerful voice laughed loudly: "I have been entrusted by the Great Khan of the Silver Moon to come and spar with you. There's no better time than today! Come, let's have a three-year battle!"

The Left Wise King was both shocked and furious, exclaiming repeatedly, "Silver Moon, how dare you collude with foreign tribes..."

The aged voice said, "I am not an outsider, and I have no connection with that human. I just happened to be passing by today and happened to see you, so I had this fight. Hurry up and do it, stop beating around the bush!"

Above the celestial heavens, the young national advisor, radiating celestial light, was about to flee when Yan Shi appeared, grabbed his wrist, and laughed, "Fellow Daoist, please wait!"

The young Grand Preceptor snorted, flicked his sleeve, and half of his sleeve landed in the hand of True Lord Yan Shi, transforming into a treasure bag. He himself vanished without leaving a trace of cause and effect.

Yan Shi hadn't expected things to turn out this way. He looked at the treasure pouch in his hand, chuckled, and shook his head, saying, "This makes me look like a highway robber. But are you so sure I won't pull out anything good? You're probably going to miscalculate this time."

Yan Shi waved his sleeve, and Wei Yuan appeared before him, looking around in bewilderment, not understanding where he was. He was struggling to suppress the mirage demon, so how did he end up in the outer heavens?
Yan Shi didn't explain, but grabbed Wei Yuan's hand and stuffed it into the treasure bag.
