Chapter 633 The Demon Master's Defection
Within the Tianjian Continent.
In the Dragon Clan Ancestral Land, inside the Great Ancestor's Cave Mansion.
On this day.
The Great Ancestor of the Dragon Clan, 'Chu Yuan,' was—as always—guarding his treasures.
However, while guarding,
Chu Yuan didn't just sit idly; he had been pondering over his Invincible State, aiming to develop further applications for it. And believe it or not, he actually managed to make some discoveries.
The Invincible State was further developed.
Chu Yuan found that as long as he wrapped a wisp of his will around the Invincible State and placed it somewhere, he could remotely transfer the power of his Invincible State to that location.
To put it simply, he had researched a kind of summoning technique.
He could grant someone a wisp of his will. Although this wisp was too weak for him to control, he could directly use his Invincible State to take command of that will wisp at special times, thereby mobilizing most of the power of his Invincible State to engage in battle.
Others only needed to hold this wisp of will to summon him.
Chu Yuan was quite satisfied with this summoning technique.
He intended to train Disciples in the most fundamental way; the simplest training was to impart knowledge about realms.
And if his Disciples were unable to cultivate, then they would naturally be without any means of self-defense; his summoning technique would be perfect for granting to his Disciples in the future.
Chu Yuan originally wanted to continue researching the Invincible State while guarding his treasures.
But he wasn't given the opportunity to continue his research.
Suddenly, a member of the Dragon Clan came in and told Chu Yuan that there was a visitor asking for him.
Initially, Chu Yuan intended to refuse outright.
But the Dragon Clan Chief said it was someone Chu Yuan knew.
This made Chu Yuan curious and a bit perplexed; he wondered who it could be.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to meet this person.
He went to the small bamboo grove where he had previously met Ji Meng.
Upon arriving at the bamboo grove, Chu Yuan saw the visitor…
It was the Demon Master!
Chu Yuan fell silent upon seeing the Demon Master.
He didn't understand why the Demon Master was seeking him out.
When the Demon Master saw Chu Yuan, he became somewhat excited.
He stepped forward and spoke directly.
"Daoist Yuan! I wish to invite you to join me in a grand undertaking! Are you willing?"
The Demon Master said earnestly.
Chu Yuan: "?"
Huh?
A grand undertaking?
Does the Demon Master intend to rebel and take over the entire Demon Race?
That piqued his interest.
He had been irked by Ji Meng for a long time.
If there was a chance to attack Ji Meng, he certainly wouldn't hold back.
"Speak, Demon Master. When do we go to war and slay Ji Meng? I'll lead the charge!"
Chu Yuan declared decisively.
His voice was full of imposing momentum.
As if he couldn't wait to take up a sword and go behead Ji Meng right then and there.
"Eh? What war?"
The Demon Master was confused, casting a baffled glance at Chu Yuan.
"Isn't that what you meant by joining forces for a grand undertaking?"
Chu Yuan looked at the Demon Master with bafflement.
Upon hearing this,
The Demon Master instantly realized what Chu Yuan was thinking.
He hurriedly began explaining.
"Daoist Yuan, that's not what I had in mind."
"I was thinking of leaving the Demon Race to seek development on a much stronger continent. How do you feel about that? Would you consider accompanying me there?"
The Demon Master said with a smile.
His smile was somewhat stiff.
Chu Yuan's thoughts truly terrified him.
To think of taking on the entire Demon Race directly?
What kind of joke was that?
Donghuang Taiyi was right there.
If Donghuang Taiyi weren't there, then taking on the entire Demon Race wouldn't be an issue.
Donghuang Taiyi alone was enough to suppress the entire Demon Race.
They wanted to fight the entire Demon Race, was that not a joke?
"Go to an even more powerful continent?"
Chu Yuan frowned slightly.
After all this time, this person wasn't here to fight Ji Meng with him.
But to find him to escape?
To go to an even more powerful continent? Would he have to abandon his treasures?
To move the treasures? Forget it, there were too many, it was too inconvenient.
Chu Yuan felt a sense of rejection.
He was silent for a moment and then rejected the Demon Master.
When the Demon Master heard Chu Yuan's refusal, for an instant, murderous intent arose in his heart.
He wanted to kill Chu Yuan.
But the murderous intent was fleeting.
It was quickly concealed.
He didn't have the confidence to kill Chu Yuan quickly.
On the contrary, if he couldn't kill Chu Yuan quickly, it would result in a protracted battle, which could attract Donghuang Taiyi, and then he would be doomed.
In the end, the Demon Master could only let out a sigh of regret and then left the Dragon Clan Ancestral Land.
Chu Yuan watched the Demon Master's departing figure, shaking his head with a sigh, unsure whether he sighed for the Demon Master's departure or because he couldn't slaughter Ji Meng.
He just sighed and then returned to his cave mansion.
...
The Demon Master, who had left the Dragon Clan Ancestral Land, originally thought of settling things and finding an excuse to leave.
But he hadn't expected
As soon as he left the Dragon Clan Ancestral Land, he was surrounded by hundreds of Demon Generals.
Standing at the forefront, holding a Trident, was the ice-cold Ji Meng.
"You've come out?"
Ji Meng raised his Trident and, pointing at the Demon Master, said with a sneer.
"Ji Meng, what do you mean?"
The Demon Master was greatly shocked, but he quickly regained his composure and looked at Ji Meng, rebuking harshly.
"What do I mean? By Imperial Decree of the Demon Emperor, I'm here to take your life! You plotted to betray the old era, and the Demon Emperor has long seen through it. The Demon Emperor has ordered that if the Prime Demon Saint comes out with you, you both shall be suppressed together, but if you come out alone, then you alone shall be suppressed!"
Ji Meng said coldly.
After he spoke,
He flipped his palm and took out an Imperial Decree, inside which was Donghuang Taiyi's command.
Upon hearing this,
The Demon Master's expression changed drastically.
He hadn't at all anticipated that Donghuang Taiyi would be so astute.
To truly have seen straight through his intentions.
On the other side, Ji Meng had no intention of further conversation, simply gesturing with his hand.
He ordered the hundreds of Demon Generals to charge forward, intending to suppress the Demon Master directly.
"You really think you can hold me? Get out of my way!"
How could the Demon Master simply let himself be captured?
A giant Kunpeng phantom emerged behind him.
At the same time, the phantoms of a scroll and a book also appeared.
The emergence of these three phantoms.
Greatly boosted the Demon Master's momentum.
Especially the phantoms of the scroll and the book, which once they appeared, made the stars tremble slightly.
It was as if the stars were trying to lend their power to the phantoms of the scroll and the book.
"Those who block me shall die!"
The Demon Master roared angrily and struck at the hundreds of Demon Generals.
He seemed ready to fight to the death.
Seeing this, Ji Meng quickly stepped forward.
Fearing that the hundreds of Demon Generals would fall, if that were the case, it would be a huge loss for the old era Demon Race.
So Ji Meng wanted to step out, to block the Demon Master.
But the Demon Master's strike did not hit anyone, instead, he took the opportunity to fly away, escaping cunningly...
