939: 256_3 939: 256_3 Although the master defeated his opponent, because of his relationship with the grandmaster, he did not kill him.
Instead, he suppressed the opponent in the distant Ghost Province.”
Cao Zhen finally understood why the Grand Preceptor had suppressed the opponent rather than killing him directly.
It turned out there was such a relationship involved.
He had initially thought that the Grand Preceptor and the leader of the Bleeding Tears Demon Sect had some emotional entanglement.
It turned out he had been overthinking it; it was because of this kind of relationship.
“However, now the Bleeding Tears Demon Sect has killed several princes of the Praying Heaven Dynasty, and their leader has disappeared.
Do you know where she has gone?
Or where their lair might be?”
He wasn’t surprised that the leader of the Bleeding Tears Demon Sect hadn’t gone into seclusion since the Grand Preceptor had said he could sever his cultivation base, and so could the leader of the Bleeding Tears Demon Sect.”
The leader of the Blood-qi Demon Sect must have certainly severed their cultivation base.
Yu Tuoyu shook his head helplessly and said, “After they left our Town Immortal Dynasty, we lost contact with them.
We don’t know where they went.
Perhaps the master knows, but he hasn’t told us either.”
Cao Zhen’s headache grew.
He looked at Yu Tuoyu and said, “Now, the people of the dynasties surrounding our Town Immortal Dynasty temporarily believe that the Eastern Wasteland will connect with the Central Plains Five Continents.
They are unlikely to cause any trouble for the time being.
“However, that Bleeding Tears Demon Sect may have collaborated with the Corpse Generals and Zombie Soldiers of the martial artists; we still cannot afford to be careless.”
Previously, he could use Eclipse Demon to gather information on his adversaries from the Praying Heaven Dynasty, but now he was facing the members of the Bleeding Tears Demon Sect.
He had no way of knowing their movements, let alone where they had gone.
It was time to let Eclipse Demon die.
Initially, it was Eclipse Demon that led the attack against their Hundred Peaks Sect and the three great Immortal Sects of the Great Lai Dynasty.
They couldn’t just let this pass.
Cao Zhen and Yu Tuoyu further inquired about the situation inside the Town Immortal Dynasty, then directly connected with Eclipse Demon through Zhonghua Cloud.
Eclipse Demon seemed to know that the people of the Hundred Peaks Sect were spreading the word, that the Eastern Wasteland would connect with the Central Five Provinces.
Now, no one believed him anymore.
It’s also possible he could no longer contact the Fourth Prince, so Eclipse Demon no longer attempted to coordinate with the various sects to launch an attack against the Town Immortal Dynasty, but instead found a place to hide.
Even this guy might have thought that the lair of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect was also in danger, so he simply found a hidden place to seclude himself alone.
Eclipse Demon realized he was truly unlucky.
In the Sun and Moon Demon Sect, he first led the Sun Erosion Hall, which suffered heavy losses.
All the experts died, leaving him as the only expert.
Then, the Third Prince whom they were affiliated with was plotted against by the Fourth Prince, forcing him to defect to the Fourth Prince.
Even then, he became the leader of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect.
Only, the Sun and Moon Demon Sect no longer had any experts left, and moreover, when he had the sect’s chart and was able to contact the Fourth Prince, he discovered to his surprise that there was no response at all.
“What’s all this?
I became the leader of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect, and now the Sun and Moon Demon Sect doesn’t even have a Golden Core expert, not even experts in the Golden Core Stage.
What kind of leader is this?
And now I’ve become the immediate lineage of the Fourth Prince, yet when I burned the sect’s chart, the Fourth Prince also didn’t respond to me.”
Eclipse Demon paced back and forth in a hidden gorge.
This gorge was a place he had discovered unintentionally, located behind a waterfall, extremely secluded.
He had prepared three such hiding places, this one being the most concealed.
Mainly, he realized that the current situation was not quite right.
He had previously persuaded various Immortal Sects to attack the Town Immortal Dynasty, and all had agreed.
But who knew that suddenly, the people of the Hundred Peaks Sect also showed up, and even claimed that the Eastern Wasteland would connect with the Central Five Provinces and mentioned the conspiracy of the Praying Heaven Dynasty.
These, he had never heard of before, and others had actually believed the Hundred Peaks Sect.
He suddenly felt that things were going awry and hastily used the sect’s chart to contact the Fourth Prince, but there was no response at all.
He had no choice but to run back and hide.
Although he was the temporary leader of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect, their sect had no more experts.
It was definitely not safe to return to the Sun and Moon Demon Sect.
These places, known only to him, were the safest.
None of the three places he was hiding in was known by anyone else.
“I’ll hide here for a while, until the Fourth Prince contacts me proactively.”
Eclipse Demon muttered to himself, looking outside at the waterfall before deciding it was best to stay here.
He had already gone out once yesterday and the news he had gathered was not good.
Now, all the major Immortal Sects believed the words of the Town Immortal Dynasty and none had any plans to target the Town Immortal Dynasty.
“I already left yesterday; the more I leave, the greater the risk of being exposed.
It’s better not to go out for a while.”
Eclipse Demon talked to himself and turned to walk towards a nearby cave when suddenly, a burst of water noise came from behind him.
Water noise?
Why would there be such a loud water noise?
Eclipse Demon turned back in surprise and saw the high waterfall burst open, and a figure appeared in his sight.
