Capítulo 1324: Chapter 657: Identity Exposed! (Part 2)

“The feud between you and Daoist Bai Niansheng is personal, we will not intervene, but why are you assisting Shushan? As far as I know, the Taoist Divine Palace also seems intent on overthrowing the current dynasty, why not join forces?”

“The Taoist Divine Palace intends to overthrow the dynasty to restore peace to the world, allowing the human race to thrive endlessly. But you, a group of beastly creatures, dare to dream of annexing the Central Plains?

The Taoist Divine Palace will not agree, and I certainly will not agree!”

“Such courage.”

In the black cloud, the Soul-devouring did not grow angry, but instead praised, for his words were mere casual speech, without any real hope of recruiting this mysterious Taoist Divine Palace.

“Ling Xu, we know Shushan’s foundations now. Though you’ve summoned two human True Monarchs from the Taoist Divine Palace, they’re still not our match. If you do not wish Shushan to be stained with blood, you’d better open the array quickly and kneel to surrender.”

“Hahaha, we at Shushan have sword immortals who die in battle, not disgraceful traitors who beg for mercy. If you wish to come, then come—what does Shushan fear? Fellow Daoist Lin Mo is right: five hundred years ago, we suppressed you, and five hundred years later, it will be the same. Do not think just because the human race is in turmoil you can seize the chance.

All grudges can be set aside in the face of humanity’s great cause.”

Around Ling Xu Monarch, sword intent soared to the sky, enveloping his whole being in a supremely dangerous aura, as if invisible sword Qi were bursting forth in sharp threats.

“Hmph, the human race? Ridiculous… Even five hundred years ago, there were those willing to defect to the demon race, and now it’s the same. Once we march out of the mountains with a million demon soldiers besieging you, how many of you human race have real backbone?”

The opposing side seemed in no hurry to make a move, still aiming to gain verbal advantage.

And since their voices could spread for dozens of miles, many Jianghu people at the foot of Shushan, and even those in the nearby Prefecture City, could hear these words.

A tremendous commotion ensued.

The demon race was besieging!!!

And among them were demon Great Saints able to rival human True Monarchs, and not just one, aiming to annihilate the sword cultivation holy land Shushan Immortal Sect— truly earth-shattering!

Messages began to spread rapidly outside.

Sadly, by the time they spread, the great battle would likely be over.

Countless people stared dumbfounded at the endless torrent of black clouds, as if a heavy stone weighed on their hearts, filling them with panic.

“And aren’t the demons the same?”

Chen Yuan retorted.

He was in no hurry to act, knowing the opponents were figuring out how to break Shushan’s mountain array, but they were already capably prepared.

They didn’t fear the foes coming, but feared they wouldn’t.

Moreover, these demons dared not delay too long—this was the human race’s domain, with no shortage of resolute strong individuals.

The demon invasion equated to humanity’s crisis; men of ambition were bound to arrive here.

Even that unwilling Prince Zhen Nan would aid due to his duty; otherwise, his reputation in the Southern region would plunge to rock bottom later on.

“Hmph!”

A cold snort burst forth again from the black cloud, seemingly unable to suppress the inner killing intent as every gaze pinned on Chen Yuan.

Through the black cloud, one could see the immense mountain-like bodies, their mere presence extraordinary, apart from one or two, the rest of the demon saints seemed very strong!

They were not easy adversaries.

Of course, it was natural; Shushan was the human race’s immortal sect, notorious and formidable, sending a few newly ascended demon saints was futile.

This time, those who came were strong among the demon saints.

Yes, although somewhat impolite, Bai Niansheng was an exception….

“If you demons dare not come, return to Southern Border to continue cultivating, but if you step into Shushan, prepare for the fall!” Ling Xu Daoist took a step, the brilliance of Shushan’s Mountain Protection Array soared to the heavens.

Endless sharp sword Qi swiftly surged, drawing in all the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy at once, brewing an immensely terrifying aura.

“Afraid to enter?”

The demon saints outside seemed to hear a joke, each began to laugh heartily, warping the void with their sound.

“The reason we’ve wasted so many words on you is only to let you live a moment longer, since you insist on seeking death, you have only yourselves to blame.”

“Indeed….”

“Fellow Daoist, is everything prepared?” Suddenly, a beguiling female demon voice rang from the black cloud.

At the critical point of the Shushan Array, ripples spread in the void, and a figure clad in black robe slowly emerged, shrouded in an overpowering aura, holding a gleaming pearl in hand.

“A Realm-breaking Pearl?!”

Ling Xu Daoist recognized the item, his pupils shrinking slightly in a small shock.

“Ah, quite knowledgeable, yes, it’s indeed a Realm-breaking Pearl.” Prince Zhen Nan beneath the black robe smiled faintly. This Realm-breaking Pearl is a treasure for breaking arrays in the human world.

It’s long since faded from Jianghu, perhaps one or two existing only in the hands of immortal sects or the court, each capable of dismantling a top-tier array.

Even within Taoist Divine Palace, such an item doesn’t exist.

It was his deep-seated trump card.

Of course, though the Realm-breaking Pearl is strong, it’s not omnipotent; it requires first locating the array’s eye to break it. His hidden agenda was to find the weak spot in Shushan’s Mountain Protection Array.

The endless black cloud and those demon saints were meant to distract Ling Xu Daoist’s spirit, preventing him from sensing any strange anomalies.

“Who are you? A human yet acting as a demon’s crony?” Ling Xu Daoist’s expression darkened, brimming with intense killing intent, prompting Jiang He, who had remained static, to turn his gaze over as well.
