Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I am the Ancestor of Stars.

Chapter 217 A Branch of the Demon Race

"Taihao, what brings you here? Who sent you here? Don't you know how dangerous this place is?" Upon hearing Taihao's voice, Dan Sheng immediately bombarded him with a series of questions, giving Taihao a headache. However, he sensed more concern and worry in Dan Sheng's tone, which deeply moved Taihao.

"Uncle-Master, are you alright? I've been searching for you for over a thousand years since I came to the Demon Realm, but I still haven't heard a word about you. Luckily, I ran into a few cowards, and after following them all the way here, I destroyed the Heavenly Demon Sect's lair. I believe that this would cause the Demon Lord and you to reappear. I didn't expect you to arrive so soon. Can you tell me why you attacked the Heavenly Demon Sect?" Taihao briefly explained his situation and then asked.

"Did you destroy the Heavenly Demon Sect's stronghold?" Dan Sheng stared at Tai Hao with an incredulous expression.

Taihao has only been gone for 30,000 years. Has his strength already broken through to the point where he can kill a powerful expert at the God Emperor level?

He stared at Taihao, his divine soul power surging forth as he examined Taihao's aura. However, in his perception, Taihao's strength had only broken through to the peak of the seventh level of the God King realm, and there was still a great gap between him and the God Emperor realm.

"Yes, the Heavenly Demon Sect only has one person at the Divine Emperor realm. The rest of them were all sent out to find you, which is why I had the opportunity to burn down their stronghold!" Taihao said casually, as if he were talking about something extremely trivial.

Dan Sheng was shocked. He really didn't know how much his strength had improved since the ancestor took him away!

He was actually able to kill a powerful expert at the God Emperor level with the strength of the seventh level of God King, and he burned down the stronghold of the Heavenly Demon Sect, a force that had been passed down for who knows how long!

"The younger generation is truly formidable! It seems I'm really getting old!" Dan Sheng said to Tai Hao with a sigh.

"Senior Uncle, I have some good things here. Let's leave first, and then you can see if there's anything you can use. You should improve your strength first!" Taihao turned to Dan Sheng and said.

When Dan Sheng heard Tai Hao's words, he thought it was something left to him by the Golden Dragon Ancestor, and he became somewhat excited. That was a Hongmeng-level expert, and even a little bit of what he left behind could give his strength a qualitative leap!

The two left this place and ran in the opposite direction of the Heavenly Demon Sect. They flew for a year before stopping. They were already far away from there.

After resting for a while, Taihao began to examine the treasures he had brought from the Heavenly Demon Sect!

With a thought, Taihao sent all the treasures of the Heavenly Demon Sect in the Taihao Realm flying out and landing on the ground.

Even the Dan Sheng, the master of the Danbao Pavilion, which ranks among the top ten in the Canglan Continent, was taken aback by what Taihao took out. The treasures on the ground were piled up into a small mountain, with at least tens of thousands of treasures!

"Where did you get this information from? It couldn't be from the Heavenly Demon Sect, could it?" Dan Sheng asked first, then suddenly realized what he meant and looked at Tai Hao in shock!

"Yes, these all belong to the Heavenly Demon Sect. I ransacked their treasury, leaving nothing behind. I even tore down the doors!" Taihao said to Dan Sheng with a smile.

"Hahaha, well done, hahaha!" Dan Sheng laughed loudly upon hearing Tai Hao's words, appearing extremely pleased!

Although Dan Sheng killed many experts from the Heavenly Demon Sect, he did not shake the foundation of the Heavenly Demon Sect. He only disgusted them. Dan Sheng did not expect that Tai Hao would burn the Heavenly Demon Sect's stronghold to ashes and empty their treasure trove shortly after arriving!

"I have to thank my senior uncle for drawing away all their top '850' fighters, otherwise I wouldn't have had a chance!" Taihao said, subtly flattering Dan Sheng!

Dan Sheng was even happier after hearing this, and then immediately began to look through the mountain of treasures in front of him!

"Azure Spirit Divine Liquid, Flower of All Things, Bones of Ghostly Gods and Demons..." The Pill Saint looked at each of these rare treasures, his mouth almost splitting into a wide grin!

Taihao had no interest in these things, not because he was particularly wealthy, but mainly because he simply didn't understand their purpose or how precious they were!

As he watched Dan Sheng flip through the items, he grew increasingly pleased, knowing that the contents here must be of high quality!

"Senior Uncle, how are these things? Is there anything you need? Can they help you improve your cultivation as quickly as possible?" Taihao asked, looking at the Dan Sheng with a smile on his face.

"Yes, and many of these are things I've been searching for for years without success. No wonder it's a branch of the Demon Clan! They have so many good things!" Dan Sheng said casually.

Dan Sheng made the remark casually, but Tai Hao astutely grasped the problem: since the Heavenly Demon Sect is a branch of the Demon Clan, why would Dan Sheng risk becoming an enemy of the Demon Clan to attack the Heavenly Demon Sect?

Taihao walked directly over, stood in front of Dan Sheng, and asked seriously, "What's going on here? Why did you attack the Heavenly Demon Sect? Is it related to the Emperor's death?"

Taihao also voiced his conjecture: the Demon Clan's ancestor was killed in that great war by the ancestors of the other three major families, yet the Demon Clan actually survived and, like the major families, controls a quarter of the top world's territory. This is simply illogical!

"Do you remember when we first met and I left with Master Ziyang, I told you to go first and I left alone?" Dan Sheng looked at Taihao, who had a serious expression on his face, stopped what he was doing, sighed, and said.

"At what point did you already know that it was the Heavenly Demon Sect that made the move?" Taihao asked directly after hearing the question!

"Yes, that time when I left with Master Ziyang, two experts at the sixth level of the Divine Venerable realm followed us. Although they were wearing black robes, I could tell from their attacks that they were from the Heavenly Demon Sect. I wanted to capture one of them and probe his soul to learn more, but in the end they actually self-destructed, and I was also slightly injured."

"After I returned, you were taken away by the Ancestor. After recovering from my injuries, I drove straight here, intending to infiltrate the Heavenly Demon Sect to investigate. However, I was discovered by them, and I killed many of their powerful members. I originally intended to eliminate the Heavenly Demon Sect, but in the end, I pretended to retreat, hoping to learn more about what happened back then from them. However, I haven't received any information over the years, and the Demon Lord's strength is almost equal to mine. I don't have enough confidence to capture him alive!" Dan Sheng said dejectedly.

"Do you think there are other forces behind the Heavenly Demon Sect, and that they are demons?" Although Dan Sheng's words were incoherent, many things could still be gleaned from them: the death of the Emperor Venerable was inextricably linked to the Heavenly Demon Sect, and there were other forces behind it!

"Yes, the demons have kept a low profile since their defeat, but recently their activities have become much less frequent!" Dan Sheng then said.
