CapĂtulo 1320: Chapter 656: Demon Energy Fills the Sky!
Shushan, Taiji Hall.
Five elders of Shushan have gathered here. Moreover, Chen Yuan, Jiang He, and Zhao Danqing, the eleventh on the Supreme Heaven List and sect leader of Biyou Palace, are also present.
He promised to help Chen Yuan once, but this doesnât mean he would risk the entire strength of Biyou Palace, so heâs the only one here to assist.
With no less than five Yang God True Monarchs, and if the other three Shushan True Masters are counted, they number six, forming a formidable force strong enough to dominate a region.
In the absence of immortals, Yang God True Monarchs stand at the pinnacle of the human world.
Establishing a top-tier power and entering the court to enjoy high official status is very easy for them, and their personal combat power can easily suppress ten thousand iron cavalry.
One against ten thousand!
In the minds of ordinary people, such individuals are no different from immortal gods.
But even as strong as they are, the atmosphere in the entire Taiji Hall is still filled with a heavy oppression, because they still do not know when the Southern Border demon clan will attack or how many will come.
What can be predicted is that they will not be weak.
Shushan is known as an Immortal Sect with deep heritage. Anyone with intelligence would not underestimate the strength of Shushan, and this attack is the first open offensive by the demon clan against the Central Plains Immortal Sect in five hundred years.
They will certainly be extremely cautious.
If this battle breaks out and Shushan Immortal Sect is destroyed, it would not only deal a huge blow to the Central Plains in the South but also shatter the confidence of many.
It could even quickly control a region.
After all, the Central Plains has never lacked people who betray their race.
But if this battle does not break out, then it would give confidence to the Central Plains, making them believe the demon clan is nothing much, lying dormant for hundreds of years yet unable to handle even one Immortal Sect.
The mindset and morale would be instantly changed.
Both those demons intending to attack Shushan and these beings inside the Taiji Hall are well aware of this.
âLingxu Daoist and Sect Leader Zhao are both in the top ten of the Supreme Heaven List, wielding immortal weapons. If the opponentâs strength is average, taking on two opponents each is nothing.
Chen and Daoist Jiang He, along with Daoist Qingxu, could handle at least one or even more. Adding on Yang Xu and Zhen Xu, as long as the arriving demon saints donât exceed eight, it wonât be hard to deal with.â
Chen Yuan broke the silence.
âI donât want to hide anything from my fellow Daoists. Shushan indeed has some power left, but using it is not worthwhile. Besides, the Sword Pavilion in the eastern Shushan prefectures can dispatch another Daoist to assist when the time comes.â
Lingxu Daoist also seemed ready to lay everything on the table.
Chen Yuan nodded, as this was within his expectations. The entire eastern Shushan region is under Shushanâs domain, and any power has intricate ties with Shushan.
Bringing out another True Monarch was within his expectations.
But what he worried about wasnât this, as he looked at Lingxu Daoist and continued:
âAs long as the Yang God True Monarchs do not exceed ten, we can try our best to stop them. But⊠what if a demon god descends? Does Lingxu Daoist have any preparations for this?â
After the battles at Liangzhou City and Liangshan, Chen Yuan has experienced the might of immortals. At least with his current strength, without alerting Senior Moluo, he absolutely cannot withstand them.
No, not just him. Even if you count Zhao Danqing and Lingxu True Monarch, they do not have the strength to match an Immortal Realm being.
This presents a crucial problem. If Shushan cannot withstand the demon god, then this battle doesnât really matter much, because the demon clan attacking Shushan will most likely summon a demon god. Even if a demon god does not arrive, there will definitely be Immortal Realm tactics.
He said this to prompt Lingxu to prepare so that at critical moments, they should not hesitate to use Shushanâs heritage.
Shushan definitely has deep roots, but this old fox Lingxu may not be willing, yet if they refuse to use it, expecting them to seek death is impossible.
Chen Yuan indeed gained benefits from the Demon God Flower, but he also eliminated the threat of Pingtian Demon Saint for Shushan. He can act, but risking his life is not feasible, unless⊠those demons hold Qi Fortune.
If so, he would risk his life to get them!
At Chen Yuanâs words, Zhao Danqing and Jiang He also turned their gaze to Lingxu True Monarch, the head of the Shushan Five Elders, their intentions clear.
Both Jiang He and Zhao Danqing came to Shushan because of Chen Yuan, so he naturally has to take responsibility for them.
Lingxu Daoist furrowed his eyebrows slightly before relaxing them, sighing gently:
âI am not unreasonable. If the opponent truly possesses the means of a demon god, Shushan will indeed exhaust its heritage to cut them down at our mountain gate.
My fellow Daoists can rest assured in this regard. A Sword Cultivator bends not; this is my promise and the promise of the entire Shushan.â
âGood. With Daoistâs words, we can be at ease.â Chen Yuan nodded, then added:
âIn that case, let us discuss how to give those demons an unexpected strike.â
âAn unexpected strike?â
âHmm?â
Upon hearing Chen Yuan speak thus, the five elders of Shushan paused simultaneously, unsure of Chen Yuanâs meaning. Theyâre in the open, and the demon clan in the shadows; logically, the demons should surprise Shushan instead.
HowâŠ
âWhat is the goal of these demons?â
Chen Yuan countered.
âThe Demon Suppressing Tower!â
Lingxuâs eyes brightened, as though he had realized something.
âExactly, the likely goal of these demons is the Demon Suppressing Tower. Not only does it suppress many powerful demons, but it also holds the remains of two demon gods, symbolizing humanityâs suppression of the demon clan. They will surely aim to destroy the Demon Suppressing Tower. However, they do not know that all demons of the Core Realm and above within the Demon Suppressing Tower have already been eradicated.
