Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 519 The Demon Extermination Conference at Qingqiu Mountain is Successfully Held
Bai Qianzhu invited Gu Zhao to come along.

“The Ancestor has come out of seclusion and invited his friends, so of course those guys are worried,” Bai Qianzhu said with a smile.

Gu Zhao's eyes flickered, eager to try, "Those people..."

"Brother Gu need not worry. Now that the Ancestor has come out of seclusion, those people are nothing but clowns and dare not make any rash moves."

Bai Qianzhu said, "Yiqi also told the Ancestor about Brother Gu's idea. The Ancestor agreed with it and said that Brother Gu was the person who cared most about the people that he had ever met."

After this incident, she personally led people to clear the road, improving the lives of the people in southern Xinjiang. If there were any obstacles along the way, she would do her utmost to help.

"Actually, Ancestor, there's no need to be in such a hurry. After all, Qingqiu Mountain is also in the Southern Frontier, and we'll run into each other all the time."

Gu Zhao clicked his tongue, "In a few days, the elders of the Great Luo Palace will also be traveling in the Southern Frontier. We can leave those clowns to them; there's no need for the Ancestor to take matters into his own hands."

"Hey!" Bai Qianzhu waved her hand dismissively, her fair and delicate arms looking adorable. "Brother Gu has helped Qingqiu Mountain countless times. If we have to ask the Daluo Palace to handle such a small matter, does Qingqiu Mountain have no one left?"

Gu Zhao, “…”

Gu Zhao seemed to see wisps of malevolent energy leaving him.

Then Bai Qianzhu took him to a small valley in the back of the mountain.

The valley was small and evergreen all year round. Low trees and green bamboos were planted in the valley, and stone tables and benches were placed on the lawn. Snacks and drinks were laid out on the tables. Gu Zhao sniffed and smelled the aroma of Wuliangye liquor.

Looking around, besides the people we had just seen, there was now a burly man, a young girl, and a beautiful woman in the valley.

The middle-aged man who had been sitting in the car earlier held up a white jade cup, took a sip of fragrant tea, looked at Gu Zhao next to Bai Qianzhu, and raised an eyebrow, "Brother, you look unfamiliar, yet you have won the heart of the Mountain Lord. I admire you."

Before Gu Zhao and Bai Qianzhu could answer, the boy in the bib raised his eyebrows and jumped onto the table, shouting, "No, no, I want to marry Sister Bamboo!"

The old woman, leaning on her dragon-headed cane, tapped it. "You little demon who turned white radish into a spirit, how could you marry a fox?"

The boy put his hands on his hips and glared at the old woman. "I've already taken human form, I can get married and have children. Besides, if I don't marry Sister Bamboo, why would I marry an old woman like you?"

The old woman rolled her eyes at the boy. "I just didn't want to get entangled with a brat like you, that's why I transformed into this form. Even if you wanted to, I wouldn't allow it!"

Seeing the old woman and the boy bickering, the couple in red sitting not far away couldn't help but chuckle.

"Sister Yuqiong, just go back to your original form and see if that little rascal will be tempted," the woman said with a smile.

The old woman twisted her body, her figure surprisingly alluring. "Aren't you afraid I'll steal your husband away?"

The woman chuckled and said, "I also want to see if he'll be tempted."

The man waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "You two are joking, don't drag me in."

"Women are always jealous. Brother Zhu, come over here, let's have a drink!"

The burly man greeted the man with a smile, "Lord Bai has something important to do today. He even brought out wine that has been stored in Qingqiu Mountain for hundreds of years. We'll be helping out later, so let's drink our fill first."

The last beautiful woman and the young girl sat together, smiling as they looked at everyone, then carefully examined Gu Zhao without saying a word.

Bai Qianzhu snorted, reached out and pulled Gu Zhao over, then led him past the crowd to sit at a stone table at the back of the valley.

This scene left everyone stunned.

The middle-aged man raised the cup to his lips, but forgot to drink.

The boy's face turned pale, the old woman was quite interested, and even the couple and the burly man looked at Gu Zhao with surprise.

“There is indeed important business today, but I am not the main character.” Bai Qianzhu pointed to the wine cup held in the burly man’s hand. “That wine is a specialty of the Daluo Palace that Brother Gu brought from the Central Plains.” “Daluo Palace, surnamed Gu, could this be the Palace Master Gu of the Daluo Palace in Jiangzhou?” The woman in red looked at Gu Zhao.

Everyone looked at Gu Zhao, then at the woman in red.

However, it was the man in red who spoke up to explain, "My wife and I like to travel around. A few days ago, we went to the Central Plains and heard that a new Daluo Palace has appeared in Jiangzhou. It does good and punishes evil, and subdues demons and monsters."

The burly man beside him muttered, "We're demons too."

The woman in red replied, "Of course, it's an evil demon."

"The Daluo Palace has only been established for two or three years, but the atmosphere in Jiangzhou has been completely cleansed. It is said that those evil spirits who kill and harm people can hardly find a foothold in Jiangzhou," the man in red continued.

The way everyone looked at Gu Zhao was filled with inquiry and curiosity, but generally with goodwill.

"Could it be that Palace Master Gu has encountered a tough nut to crack?" the middle-aged man in brocade robes asked.

"It's not a tough nut to crack, it's a celestial demon from ten thousand years ago."

A soft voice rang out, and the Celestial Fox Ancestor suddenly appeared in the valley, startling everyone.

"You've emerged from seclusion?" The beautiful woman in the distance stood up in surprise, and the girl beside her also stood up.

Seeing everyone stand up, the Heavenly Fox Ancestor gestured for everyone to sit down.

"We are all friends of Qingqiu Mountain, so there's no need to be so polite." The Heavenly Fox Ancestor sat down at the same table as Bai Qianzhu and Gu Zhao. "I have called you here today because there is a matter of great importance concerning the survival of this world."

The burly man's eyes glazed over as he downed the Wuliangye liquor in one gulp. "It's more serious than I thought!"

The Celestial Fox Ancestor smiled slightly, "No need to worry, even if the Heavenly Demon were to appear, you wouldn't be needed to fight."

The burly man asked, "So why did you gather us here...?"

"It's to deal with those who cultivate demonic arts," said the Heavenly Fox Ancestor. "The Heavenly Demon has awakened and can use his divine sense to contact all demonic cultivators in the world, helping them cultivate demonic arts and open up demonic realms."

The Celestial Fox Ancestor recounted how the Heavenly Demon descended ten thousand years ago, and then awoke again ten thousand years later, manipulating chess pieces to create a demonic realm and prepare to change the world.

The people in the valley were all surprised, and some of them were hearing the name of the Great Sun Profound Light Heaven-Opening Demon Ancestor for the first time.

Whether or not they had heard the legend of the Heavenly Demon's descent to earth, everyone was just now aware that their world was in danger. Ten thousand years ago, the Heavenly Demon awakened, wanting to change the world and turn it into a demon realm.

"Good heavens!" The burly man stared with his bull-like eyes. "I underestimated things."

The boy shrank back, "Won't I be corrupted by demons?"

The old woman glanced at the boy and said, "You'd better travel less in the future. If you happen to run into that Demon Ancestor, I bet you won't last three breaths."

The boy pursed his lips, but didn't say anything.

The couple dressed in red clasped their hands in a gesture of respect, saying, "We love to travel around, so please leave this matter to us."

The middle-aged man in the brocade robe took a sip of fragrant tea with an air of nonchalance. “I don’t have the guts to go against the Demon Ancestor, but I can easily control him as a pawn.”

The others nodded in agreement.

Gu Zhao finally had a chance to speak, “The elders of my Great Luo Palace will also be entering the Southern Frontier. They are very sensitive to demonic energy and can help you search for demonic traces.”
