Chapter 1292: Chapter 9 Spirit Beast and Dao Secret Chapter 1292: Chapter 9 Spirit Beast and Dao Secret âYou just said that Han Yanzi isnât dead?â
Inside the Pure Yang Palace.
Qu Shentong, Ji Ying, and Elder Xumi all looked at Wang Ba with shocked expressions.
âThis is impossibleâŠ
Elder Xun compelled him with his life to mend the heavens, this was witnessed by everyoneâŠâ
Ji Yingâs voice was filled with disbelief and then he couldnât help but ask,
âHow did you come to know of this?â
Wang Ba dared not conceal anything, as this matter had also exceeded his expectations, he honestly replied,
âA close friend of mine happens to be a member of the Demon Sect, not long ago he suddenly received a summons from Han Yanzi.
After confirming it, he immediately sent me the message.â
Elder Xumi, after his initial shock, quickly regained his composure and said solemnly,
âIn this realm, even those who have achieved Immortal Ascension cannot be accommodated, let alone a Refining Void Cultivator.
Wouldnât he be even more targeted by the laws of heaven and earth?
Is your friend clear about Han Yanziâs current strength?â
Sect Master Qu Shentongâs eyes lit up when he heard this:
âDoes Elder Xumi mean that Han Yanziâs strength has greatly diminished?â

Ji Ying also looked towards Elder Xumi.
...
Elder Xumi nodded slightly:
âThe piece of the Dao Domain that he merged with is still present on the Realm Membrane, which cannot be faked.
But even if he is still alive, he must have paid a hefty price and may not be as formidable as before.â
Elder Xumi was usually not talkative, but when he spoke now, his words were sharply to the point.
Wang Ba pondered upon hearing this:
âIn that case, this might be a rare opportunity to completely eradicate Han Yanzi.â
Hearing Wang Baâs words, the other three in the palace fell into a slight silence.
In the battle to mend the heaven, the Wanxiang Sect had suffered heavy losses, and almost all of the cultivators who had reached Immortal Ascension were gone.
Maintaining the sectâs operations was already taxing them to their limit, and deep down, they really did not wish to stir up any more trouble.
Ji Ying hesitated, then spoke:
âEven if Han Yanzi is still clinging to life, given the restrictions of heaven and earth, he wonât be able to stir up any troubleâŠ
Perhaps we neednât act, and he will simply die when his lifespan runs out.â
Wang Ba frowned slightly when he heard this:
âSuch an old monster, even if greatly weakened, might still have some formidable tricks up his sleeve.
To ignore him would leave endless troubles.
In my opinion, we should first probe his situation.
If itâs possible to resolve, then itâs better to do so as soon as possible and avoid future problems.â
Qu Shentong couldnât help but show a thoughtful expression.
In his mind, nipping the danger in the bud was undoubtedly the greatest benefit to the sect.
He immediately looked at Ji Ying and Elder Xumi: âElders, what do you thinkâŠâ
Elder Xumi had no hesitation:
âThe Deputy Sect Masterâs words make sense, I agree.â
Ji Ying hesitated but, seeing that Qu Shentong and Elder Xumi both agreed, he could only nod:
âAlright, letâs probe first.
Deputy Sect Master, could you please contact your close friend right away to find out the current situation in the Demon Sect?â
Without a momentâs hesitation, Wang Ba immediately took out the Spirit Ear tool and relayed the questions to Shen Fu.
Not long after, the Spirit Ear received Shen Fuâs reply.
Upon seeing the reply, Wang Baâs expression tensed as he raised his head to look at the three.
âWhat did he say?â
Ji Ying asked in a hurry.
Wang Baâs tone was complex:
âHe has replied.
He says that when the position of heaven and earth dropped, four Immortal Ascension cultivators from the Demon Sect hid inside a dungeon to cling to life.
As for the others, itâs not very clearâŠâ
âThere are still four who have reached Immortal Ascension?â
Both Ji Ying and Elder Xumiâs faces turned slightly grim.
Elder Xumi furrowed his brows and said,
âCultivators whoâve reached Immortal Ascension are not an issue, if theyâre hiding in a dungeon, theyâre likely more worried about being attacked themselves.
How many Nascent Soul cultivators are left?â
Nowadays, with the Immortal Ascension cultivators in hiding, the strength and number of Nascent Soul cultivators were key to determining the power of a force.
Wang Ba shook his head and said,
âThere are less than a hundred left.â
Seeing Ji Ying and Qu Shentongâs faces light up with surprise, Wang Ba sighed softly, pouring cold water on their excitement:
âHan Yanzi has already restarted the Sect Protection Array of the primitive Demonic Sect.â
Their smiles instantly froze on their faces.
A great sect like the primitive Demonic Sect would have an extraordinary Sect Protection Array.
Needless to say, it could withstand Refining Void cultivators, and at the very least, it could withstand those at the Immortal Ascension stage.
Just like on the Wanxiang Sectâs side, there was ample defense, but not enough offense.
âAh well, weâll just have to play it by ear.â
Ji Ying sighed lightly.
As long as the resources for their Great Array were sufficient and the primitive Demonic Sectâs Sect Protection Array was intact, they basically had no chance of achieving the feat of decapitating Han YanziĂąâŹânaturally, the reverse was also true.
âThereâs another matter.â
Wang Ba frowned, raising the Spirit Ear in his hand:
âIn the Yan Dynasty and its northern area, a large number of leaderless Totem Beasts, worshiped by cultivators from the Tupi Continent, have mysteriously appeared, rampaging everywhere, capable of consuming the flesh and blood of living beings, leaving only human skinsâŠ
On the Three Continents side, itâs said to be in ruins, with only a large number of abandoned sky-floating cities and the sheds of deceased Three Continentsâ cultivators visible.â
âTotem Beasts?â
Ji Ying and Elder Xumi looked at each other, then Elder Xumi said with a solemn face,
âAs Senior Jiang said, these Totem Beasts are likely âWorld Eatersâ that hunt across realms.
It seems that they canât directly enter our realm in their physical forms, so they exploit the Tupi Continental cultivators who worship them to invade.
How powerful are these otherworldly abominations?â
Wang Ba replied truthfully,
âTheir strength ranges from Golden Core to Nascent Soul, and whether there are any at the Immortal Ascension stage is still unclear.â
âWe should probably speed up the progress with the Ghost Market.â
Qu Shentong spoke somewhat helplessly.
With the help of the Ghost Market, they could turn the entire Fenglin Continent into a fortress, receiving information about developments almost immediately, enabling them to respond in the shortest time possible.
It wouldnât come to passing a message about such a significant matter through Wang Baâs friend.
