The two sect leaders standing to the side were already dumbfounded.
They anticipated that you might be very strong, but they never expected you to become this incredibly powerful.
[Even with you outnumbered three to one, those two demonic cultivators couldn't escape your attacks and could only gradually worsen their injuries while struggling to defend themselves.]
What's even more terrifying is that, as the battle progresses, you seem to be rapidly adapting to your body.
Your strength is growing!
[In the blink of an eye, the battle between you two is about to come to a conclusion.]
No one could have predicted that you would become so powerful.
[The Peng demon, who was initially extremely arrogant, has completely lost his previous attitude under your care, and is even more miserable than those two demonic cultivators.]
[You know perfectly well that seriously injuring these three isn't a problem. But to kill them all, you absolutely cannot do it without the help of those two sect leaders.]
[After all, once they reach the Fusion Stage, they have many ways to protect themselves. If they choose to break through at all costs, it will be very difficult for you to stop them.]
This time, you didn't insist that the two sect leaders not interfere.
The moment they joined the battle, the situation became completely one-sided. Even though the demonic cultivators and the Peng demons tried their best to escape, they still couldn't get out of the battlefield.
In their desperation, they wanted to take you down with them before they perished.
Unfortunately, this place is too close to the Xiaoyun Sect's mountain gate formation; they can't even manage to perish together.
The fall of three cultivators at the Fusion Stage is no small feat, especially when it happens in succession.
This caused an uproar not only among the Xiaoyun Sect, but also among all the other human sects.
[Neither the demon race nor the demonic cultivators have seen a powerful cultivator at the Integration Stage perish for many years.]
On the contrary, human cultivators, in repeated collisions and traps, constantly suffer the fate of perishing.
After killing the three of them, you didn't feel much emotional fluctuation; you simply sent a message to Peony silently.
The excitement throughout the Xiaoyun Sect lasted for several days.
To them, a Peng demon in the Integration Stage is a treasure from head to toe. Its demise means that the Xiaoyun Sect will have many more pills and magical artifacts.
More importantly, it boosted morale!
You silently awaited Peony's arrival, but you hadn't expected her to be able to enter the Xiaoyun Sect without attracting anyone's attention.
[Clearly, after the last attack, the two sect leaders joined forces to raise the sect's internal defense level.]
Logically speaking, someone like Peony should be detected even if she were to approach the sect's main formation, let alone enter it.
The other person seemed to sense your confusion, but she didn't offer to explain. Instead, she brought you some information about Xi Meng.
"The Demon King means that you have time to continue to grow stronger until you are strong enough to suppress the entire demon realm, at which point you can carry out her orders."
Peony silently took out the token given to her by the Demon King.
"Suppress the demon realm? Isn't she afraid that I'll kill her too?"
Zhang Yang looked at Shaoyao calmly, without much murderous intent in his eyes.
"If you were afraid, you wouldn't have carried out this plan in the first place. Perhaps the Demon King is even more afraid, and you won't kill her."
Peony's words surprised Zhang Yang; from the very beginning, she seemed intent on being killed. He had never seen a demon king like this before.
If even a peony could easily pass through the defenses of the Xiaoyun Sect, then just how powerful is Xi Meng, the Demon King?
Are such beings not enough to suppress the entire demon realm?
We absolutely have to rely on his power?
"I think you shouldn't speculate on the Demon King's plans. Even I can't guess what she's thinking. You just need to follow the established route and keep moving forward."
Seeing Zhang Yang's thoughtful expression, Peony couldn't help but explain to him.
She had watched Xi Meng grow up since she was a child, but even so, Shao Yao couldn't guess what Xi Meng wanted to do. The only thing she could do was to fully support every decision Xi Meng made.
Even if there is an abyss ahead, they will still jump forward without hesitation.
"By the way, your killing of the Peng Demon King has given the demon realm quite a shock. The Demon King's intention is that if there is an opportunity, you can continue to kill him."
You don't need to worry about the demon realm's reaction; the demon king will find a way to give you the help you deserve.
All she needs is for you to keep getting stronger.
[Through this brief encounter, you increasingly feel that your understanding of the Demon King seems to be growing more and more superficial.]
What the other party wants is so simple it's unbelievable.
Could it be that the other party really only wants to cultivate a human cultivator capable of killing them?
But what's the point?
You were completely baffled, but you became more cautious, wanting to know what would happen in the demon realm.
[You've broken through to the Integration Stage and killed three early Integration Stage cultivators. Even if you wanted to keep a low profile, you simply couldn't completely hide.]
However, the two sect leaders of the Xiaoyun Sect still managed to fend off many people who came seeking their fame for you.
As a way of repaying them for taking you in, you agreed to many of their conditions.
When you expressed your desire to leave the Xiaoyun Sect and continue your solo adventures, both sect leaders simultaneously showed a hint of surprise.
However, they didn't try to stop you in any way. They just asked about your plans briefly and then quietly sent you out of the Xiaoyun Sect.
"That kid probably won't be coming back, right?" The deputy sect leader watched Zhang Yang's departing figure, and a feeling of reluctance welled up in his heart.
"Stop thinking about useless things. Whether he comes or not, our karma is already intertwined. His subsequent actions may continue to affect us."
The sect leader said helplessly, the future was still blurry, and he still couldn't see anything clearly.
It seemed as if the Xiaoyun Sect was bound to Zhang Yang; when he overcame a perilous situation, the sect overcame it as well.
He became stronger overnight, and the sect also experienced a rapid surge in power in a short period of time.
The sect leader couldn't see the connection between these events, but his intuition told him that Zhang Yang's departure might lead to more things to come.
You have no idea what the two sect leaders are really thinking.
Right now, all you want to know is the Demon King's true purpose.
[She's determined to die, and she insists you be the one to kill her. There must be something you don't know about behind this.]
【Your choice:】
[1. Gather information in the human world. (This option allows you to learn about the demon realm to some extent.)]
2. Infiltrate the demon realm and experience it for yourself. (This option allows you to learn about the demon realm to some extent.)
[3. Personal intervention, 1 attempt remaining.]
Choose 1!
Even if you are at the Integration Stage, it would still be too difficult for you to infiltrate the demon realm undetected, like Peony.
Furthermore, your current understanding of the demon realm is still at a very basic level, and you feel you need to gain a deeper understanding of it.
So you began visiting each sect that had previously interacted with the demon realm, as well as other independent cultivators, trying to learn about the demon realm from as many angles as possible.
As time goes by, you visit more and more sects, but you increasingly feel that what those sects are saying is not what you want.
Their understanding of Ximeng is far less than yours.
Furthermore, they weren't entirely aware of some of the changes occurring in the demon realm.
However, the ancient texts about the demon realm that you were fortunate enough to consult in the various sects have given you a great deal of information about the demon realm.
The entire demon realm was originally part of the whole world, but in the distant past, powerful demon beings separated the borders and reorganized them into smaller worlds.
The Demon King of the Demon Realm wields virtually the greatest control over the entire demon realm.
Within the demon realm, other demons who can be called elders can, under certain circumstances, use their power to check and balance the demon king.
This is why even though Xi Meng is the strongest in the demon realm, she still can't forcefully enforce her orders. Instead, she has to seek help from this outsider.
The demon realm is a self-contained realm, with both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage naturally lies with the demon race; as rumored, they can purify their bloodlines, making them even stronger. However, the drawback is that the world is too small, and resources are limited, making it difficult to support the consumption of a large number of powerful demons.
This is why the previous Demon King initiated a surprise attack on the Daoist sect from the Demon Realm; it was their way of testing the outside world and also their first step in preparing to break out of the Demon Realm.
Even these demons didn't expect that the previous demon king wouldn't enjoy his glory for long before being killed by Xi Meng.
The sudden death of the Demon King at the height of his power was an unacceptable event for most of the demon race.
More importantly, Xi Meng, this new generation of demon king, still adheres to the principle of sealing off the demon realm and imprisoning them once again.
Having witnessed the power of the demon race outside, how could they possibly agree to such a proposal?
[There are plenty of resources outside that could support more demons to successfully break through, so why do they insist on hiding in this small demon realm?]
[For a time, all the major demon clans in the demon realm were extremely indignant.]
Therefore, even though Xi Meng was the Demon King, she could not forcefully close the Demon Realm.
[After consulting numerous ancient texts and documents, you finally discovered, in some obscure corner, the possible reason why Xi Meng has persisted in closing off the demon realm.]
The demon realm existed in the past to avoid the world and calamities.
[There is a long-standing prophecy in the demon realm that the moment the demon realm begins to engage with the world, disaster will inevitably follow.]
[And these peonies seem to have been mentioned before?]
Chapter 188 Why did he come back?
[However, the peony used a different story back then, and you were completely unaware of these secrets of the demon realm, so you simply ignored them.]
Looking back now, it seems like all of this was actually traceable.
However, a prophecy is just a prophecy; the future may not necessarily come to pass.
What kind of cause you sow, what kind of fruit you reap.
When cause and effect change, many things will change accordingly. Clinging to a so-called prophecy seems like making a mountain out of a molehill.
The information you can find outside the demon realm is still far too limited.
[If nothing unexpected happens, what you know now is most likely the limit of your understanding of the demon realm.]
