"Who knows? Let's prepare ourselves first." The sect leader sighed. "This is just the beginning. I'm not sure who will appear next."
In his predicted future, the sect would encounter a series of events and gradually decline. Perhaps, what's coming isn't just the fusion period of the demon realm.
However, crisis and opportunity complement each other.
If we can survive this calamity, the strength of the Xiaoyun Sect can reach an even higher level!
……
Su Chen stayed in the mansion, not daring to stop for a moment, constantly tempering his soul. With the Xiaoyun Sect protecting him, he didn't need to worry about his safety for the time being.
However, if he cannot break through, coupled with the continuous harassment and attacks during the Integration Stage, the attitude of the Xiaoyun Sect may take a different turn.
Relying on yourself is worse than relying on anyone else!
"It's safe for now, but what exactly is Xi Meng thinking? She's going all out to cultivate an uncontrollable pawn, and judging from her actions, it seems like she's been plotting to use me as a weapon to kill Xi Meng in the future?"
Training an assassin to kill him was something Su Chen didn't understand.
"Are you out of your mind? Why bother?"
The more Su Chen thought about it, the more something seemed wrong. If he wanted to die, why go through all this trouble?
Unless what Xi Meng needs is a human being.
A human who hates the demon race and wants to eradicate the entire demon race.
Su Chen seems to fit this condition perfectly!
With the destruction of the Taoist sect and his continuous killing of demons from the demon realm, the hatred between the two sides has been forged!
Chapter 184 Lurking
"It's really strange. There are plenty of people like this. Even among cultivators in the Integration stage, there are quite a few who are hostile to the demon race. Why do we have to start by selecting and training a Golden Core cultivator?"
Su Chen thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what was going on.
For him, the most important thing now is to devote all his energy to improving the strength of his soul and then enter the Integration Stage.
Only by successfully advancing in rank can he possess the power to protect himself, at least unlike in the first two options in the game, where he would be instantly killed before even meeting anyone.
While Su Chen was engrossed in his cultivation, the Peng Demon had already quietly left the Demon Realm. At the same time, in a corner of the human world, two demonic cultivators at the Integration Stage also set off one after another.
"I knew this kid wasn't so easy to fool. Now, I have to cover for him."
The deputy sect leader sensed that someone was calculating Su Chen's location, and immediately took action to conceal Su Chen's aura.
"Brother, didn't I tell you to disrupt that kid's luck? How come it's still so easy for someone to find out?"
"I tried, but it didn't work at all. This kid seems very strange, his luck is very elusive, and even his past and future are as vague as they are."
"I can't even see it, so how can I help him cover it up?"
A helpless expression appeared on the sect leader's face. After agreeing to let Su Chen stay within the sect, the two of them set about eliminating any unlucky influences Su Chen might bring.
However, everything is just too complicated to get started, and even with the two of them giving it their all, they haven't managed to accomplish much yet.
"So what do we do now? Ignore them? With such strong calculation ability, even if the opponent's realm is a little lower, their actual combat strength is probably not that low."
The deputy sect leader looked bitter; this was simply provoking a jinx.
Unless they are not the number one sect in the world, they cannot sever their connection with this evil star.
Agreeing is not an option, nor is refusing.
In the end, it will bring unexpected trouble to the Xiaoyun Sect.
"Let's hold them off for now and see if we can catch them in the opposite direction. Knowing their strengths and weaknesses beforehand will help us prepare."
The sect leader sighed. This was the calamity they were destined to face. Since they couldn't avoid it, they could only accept it.
When he first met Su Chen, he knew clearly that the current test of the Fusion Stage was only the beginning.
If not handled properly, it can easily trigger something more serious.
"It seems this kid has hidden in the territory of some expert. Simple fate tracking is no longer effective."
What the Peng Demon was holding in his hand was a somewhat worn-out Taoist robe, which was the very robe Su Chen was wearing.
He originally planned to use this thing as a medium to directly pinpoint Su Chen's exact location, and then quickly and efficiently resolve everything.
However, Su Chen has now clearly hidden in the territory of another Nascent Soul stage expert. The other party even went to great lengths to conceal his fortune and disrupt his investigation.
It's no longer possible to lock down Su Chen using only this method.
"There are only so many human cultivators at the Integration Stage. I don't believe you can hide anywhere."
The Peng Demon put away the medium and looked into the distance.
In a short period of less than a year, Su Chen killed nearly twenty Nascent Soul Realm cultivators from the Demon Realm.
This can only be described as a massacre.
As long as this scourge is not eliminated, it will remain a threat to the demon race.
Moreover, according to intelligence reports, this kid's growth rate can only be described as terrifying.
The word "genius" is simply insufficient to describe Su Chen; only "monster" can barely do the trick.
Such people, regardless of their race, will definitely be given special attention and training.
However, Su Chen refused to join any faction. He relied solely on his own strength to improve his cultivation level, using the demon race as a whetstone. From barely escaping to killing Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, he did it as easily as slaughtering pigs and dogs.
This is something the demon race cannot tolerate!
Although killing a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Integration Stage doesn't sound very honorable, if Su Chen is allowed to continue growing, he will eventually threaten the safety of the Demon Realm.
Previously, Su Chen had not joined any faction and was not protected by other cultivators, so killing him would not be difficult for them.
But now, he seems to be hiding in some sect. If Peng Yao wants to kill him, he must wait for him to come to him. It is too difficult for Peng Yao to infiltrate the sect.
"It's a pity that I'm not strong enough. Otherwise, no matter which mountain gate you hide in, I could just crush you. I really don't know what the Demon King is thinking. Right now is clearly a good time to expand, but he keeps trying to lock the demon race in the demon realm. Being stuck in the past will only make the demon race die faster."
Peng Yao muttered a few complaints under his breath, but he still had to continue doing his work.
Peng Yao expended considerable effort to pinpoint Su Chen's true location. Only after confirming it did he discover that two demonic cultivators had already arrived before him.
Outside the Xiaoyun Sect.
"The aura emanating from you is really making me uncomfortable."
The moment the Peng demon appeared beside the two demonic cultivators, they almost attacked each other.
Only after seeing the demon king's token that Peng Yao revealed did the two demonic cultivators stop fighting.
“You’re really slow to arrive,” one of the demonic cultivators said.
"I haven't left the demon realm many times, and finding this place is already quite fast. Could you please hide your aura? It's making me feel nauseous."
Peng Yao stared indifferently at the two demonic cultivators in front of him. These two guys reeked of blood, and the bloody smell was not only mixed with human scent, but also with a large number of demons.
Although Peng Yao didn't care about the demon races outside the demon realm, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable facing the familiar aura.
"It's already reached its limit, there's nothing we can do if you're uncomfortable."
The other demonic cultivator smiled, but the look in his eyes as he looked at the Peng demon seemed slightly greedy.
Peng Yao ignored their gazes. If these two dared to attack him, he would make them understand what racial talent was and what true integration stage meant.
"You've been here for so long, have you figured anything out?"
"As the number one sect in the human world, the sect leader and deputy sect leader of Xiaoyun Sect are both at the mid-stage of the Integration Realm. Although their cultivation levels may not seem high, when combined with the sect's grand formation, these two can unleash the combat power of the late-stage Integration Realm. Add to that the sect's reclusive patriarch, and any attempt to launch a direct attack on Xiaoyun Sect would be nothing short of suicide."
The demonic cultivators who were closer to the Peng Demon spoke in a low voice.
“I know all of this. Tell me about things I don’t know. I only need the most crucial information.” Peng Yao frowned. This was all basic information, which he knew even though he rarely left the demon realm.
"The two of us have already infiltrated, but the extent of our infiltration is limited, and we haven't found the guy's exact location yet."
Both demonic cultivators were at least at the Nascent Soul stage, so they had many ways to control people. They each gave instructions, and the several Xiaoyun Sect disciples they possessed, to cross the mountain gate's array and check the situation inside.
They dared not directly and forcibly control it, because if it aroused the alarm of the Xiaoyun Sect, it could easily cause problems.
"Isn't that the same as having nothing at all?"
"That's not quite right. At this time tomorrow, that Zhang Yang will be preaching at the Xiaoyun Sect. We can use this opportunity to confirm his exact location."
"And then what? We still can't get in." Peng Yao was speechless. If there was no way to get past the mountain gate formation, then they could only watch helplessly from the outside.
"Who said we can't get in? We've roughly found the loophole in the mountain gate formation. As long as we pinpoint that kid's exact location, we can rush in and kill him." A hint of excitement appeared on the demonic cultivator's face.
This is the number one sect in the world. If they can successfully pass through the mountain gate formation, it will be enough to make their names famous throughout the world.
"However, there is a problem. This mountain gate formation is easy to hear but difficult to escape. If we make a move inside, it will inevitably provoke a counterattack from the Xiaoyun Sect. At that time, it is uncertain whether we will be able to escape."
The three of them only possessed the power of the initial stage of fusion, and even if they cooperated with each other, it would be difficult for them to contend with the other party on their own territory.
If they dare to do this, they will inevitably face a situation where they can only enter and not leave.
They might even be baited by the other side, so even though the two demonic cultivators discovered the loopholes in the Xiaoyun Sect's mountain gate, they didn't dare to act rashly.
"Do you have any plans? If not, then we'll just have to keep waiting?"
The Peng Demon looked somewhat impatient; once a cultivator begins their secluded cultivation to break through, time will pass very quickly.
Peng Yao had thought this trip would be simple, but now it seemed that it was not so simple at all.
What if that kid, like a coward, stays inside the mountain gate? Wouldn't he have to stay here for a long time?
“It will definitely take some time. Xiaoyun Sect has many collaborations with other sects, and these two sect leaders are not always in the sect. As long as they leave the sect, our room for maneuver will become much larger.”
A relaxed expression appeared on the demonic cultivators' faces; they were simply considering whether they could reduce the cost even further.
Whether they could kill that kid or not was not within their consideration.
In their view, no matter how powerful Su Chen was, he couldn't possibly withstand being surrounded by two early-stage Fusion Realm experts.
Killing him would only take a moment.
But how to create that moment and get them out safely is what they need to consider.
"What if they never leave?"
"What ifs? Have you been in the demon realm for too long and your thinking has deteriorated? If these two sect leaders won't come out, can't you create conditions to make them come? Your demon realm can easily create some commotion. Aren't your demon kings very strong? Just wipe out a sect, and those two will naturally be attracted over there."
Because of the previous destruction of the Daoist sect, other sects felt insecure and began to cooperate and help each other.
