Chapter 326: Chapter 254: Capturing People
"Not sure, but recently a Cave Mansion of an Ancient Cultivator appeared in the Desolate Ancient Mountain Range. Many major forces went to explore and reportedly suffered greatly under the Demon Race."
"I’ve heard about it too. Many died, and over a dozen Golden Core Zhenren fell. It was quite tragic."
"Alas, the Demon Race is too cruel. Even Golden Core Zhenren have fallen. If we Qi Cultivation Junior Cultivators encounter them, we’re likely doomed."
"Come on, drink wine, we should enjoy life while we can, or we might end up being eaten by demons someday."
Shen Wang looked at the myriad expressions of cultivators at the bottom layer, frowned slightly, tossed a few Spirit Stones to settle the bill, and got up to leave.
At this time, the Demon Race initiating a war might have something to do with the Flowing Light Cave Mansion. Do they not want high-level human cultivators to interfere?
"Never mind about them, this Cave Mansion, if we can obtain it, we will; if not, let the system handle it, prioritizing safety above all."
Shen Wang mentally prepared himself in advance and did not get carried away just because he reached the Nascent Soul Stage.
He saw scenes where Nascent Soul Great Cultivators had to flee when faced with large numbers of Demon Beasts.
"With the Demon Race outside and the Demon Cave within, this world truly is chaotic."
Shen Wang thought of other matters and confirmed this was indeed a turbulent era.
Before the great chaos in the Cultivation Realm, disasters had already struck the Mortal World, and now the Cultivation Realm was affected too.
"First, save my father and the others. I hope they’re all still alive."
Shen Wang sighed and moved towards the place where the Sixth Prince was.
He needed to first find out where his father and the others were held to have a way to rescue them.
Entering the area of Miao Province, Shen Wang saw many fleeing people, hearing that demons had wreaked havoc on the world, with many casualties.
Seeing ordinary people like this, Shen Wang didn’t need to think much to realize the situation was dire.
Since Miao Province was close to the Desolate Ancient Mountain Range, it must be the first to bear the brunt.
Shen Wang did not meddle much, for in the Cultivation Realm, stepping beyond one’s bounds is most taboo, especially meddling above one’s level.
After traveling several miles further, a Talisman flew out and burned itself.
A woman’s cold voice transmitted: "Shen Wang, are you dead or not, if not, respond!"
Shen Wang was surprised: "Silver Moon is looking for me? Is this concern?"
He knew this was because he entered the range of the Sound Transmission Talisman and received the message.
Soon, another Talisman flew out: "If you’re still alive, come immediately to gather at Jade Silkworm Valley. We urgently need manpower."
Shen Wang heard the latter part, curled his lips: "I was mistaken in thinking she cared, she wants me to be a workhorse, what wishful thinking."
He waved his hand, extinguished the ashes of the burning Talisman, and disappeared in a flash.
Outside Jade Silkworm Valley, signs of battles were visible, but no bodies, only bones gnawed by beasts.
Shen Wang looked into the distance.
The Array of Jade Silkworm Valley was fully activated, forming a massive jade-colored dome like a jade silkworm.
"An Array with Wood and Earth attributes, solid and lasting, has it already become a stalemate battle with the Demon Race here?"
Shen Wang pondered, took out a Talisman and said: "Silver Moon beauty, how can you be so sure I’m not dead, come out to greet me, the location is ten miles southeast of Jade Silkworm Valley."
Inside Jade Silkworm Valley.
The Sixth Prince was not present, only the Demon Suppression Department and people from Jade Silkworm Valley were here.
When the Demon Race suddenly attacked the human realm, Jade Silkworm Valley became an involuntary stronghold resisting the Demon Race invasion.
The Sun and Moon Dynasty did not want the Demon Race to invade unhindered, so they joined forces with Jade Silkworm Valley for resistance.
Using the Sect’s Array and intelligence from the Demon Suppression Department, they were temporarily stalling the Demon Race’s invasion pace in this direction.
The Sun and Moon Dynasty had a Tributor stationed, and Silver Moon was assisting as a subordinate, currently organizing the latest Demon Race movements.
Suddenly, her Sound Transmission Talisman lit up.
Silver Moon noticed, stirred her thoughts, allowed the Sound Transmission Talisman to burn and transmit sound.
Upon hearing Shen Wang’s words, Silver Moon showed surprise: "It’s been half a month, tried contacting twice before with no response, thought he was dead, didn’t expect he’s alive, I said this guy isn’t easily killed."
Yin Mo beside her heard and frowned: "How did this person survive? He didn’t go with us, we all thought he was killed by the Demon Race."
"This can only be known after seeing him."
Silver Moon shook her head.
"Is it possible he’s now controlled by the Demon Race, and came to spy on our intelligence and sabotage internally?"
Yin Mo suspected: "Considering facing so many Demon Races, plus two Demon Emperors, even Nascent Soul Great Cultivators faced life threats, if he survived, there’s definitely something fishy."
Silver Moon put down her documents, rose and said: "Your suspicion is reasonable, come with me to meet him, let’s see if there’s any issue."
"Not coming directly already implies there’s a problem."
Yin Mo frowned: "Her asking you out, there might be an ambush, are two people enough?"
"Ten miles is close for a Great Cultivator, better inform Huangfu Tributor."
Silver Moon thought for a moment and decided to be cautious.
She and Yin Mo personally met Huangfu Jin to explain Shen Wang’s situation.
"Is Shen Wang the drug lead mentioned by the Sixth Prince?"
Huangfu Jin showed a slight impression.
"That’s him, when the Sun Dragon Ship crashed, he suddenly disappeared, along with Moyu and eight maids."
Silver Moon explained: "At first, we thought they were killed by the Demon Emperor, but now it seems there might have been some twists."
Huangfu Jin’s eyes moved, listening, he smiled: "Interesting, amidst us so many panicking to escape, if they survived, that indeed is interesting."
He said: "You go meet him, I will monitor secretly, if anything unusual occurs, I will intervene personally."
