Chapter 1685: We're out of ingredients!

The Demon Realm vanished overnight, and the demon clan also completely disappeared without a trace.

Upon hearing this news, Qi Xiong remained silent for a long time, finally asking in a low voice.

"Not a single clue?"

As one of the top clans in Zhu Tian Wan Jie, although the demon clan had just suffered a major defeat, the demon clan's old ancestor was still alive, and all the demon emperors of the demon clan were still alive.

Although their strength had been somewhat diminished, even just the demon clan's old ancestor alone was not comparable to an ordinary world.

And being able to make the demon clan vanish overnight shows that the opposing side's strength is not to be underestimated.

Most importantly, the demon clan's disappearance likely hides a deeper cause behind it.

Facing Qi Xiong's question, Wu Shou shook his head.

"For now, there's none, but other world's powerhouses are also investigating, however.................."

Wu Shou hadn't finished speaking; wanting to investigate this matter and get results is also not that easy.

Seeing Wu Shou like that, Qi Xiong didn't continue to press further, merely asking him to closely monitor the matter.

The demon clan's overnight downfall naturally stirred up a huge commotion in Zhu Tian Wan Jie.

Many worlds are paying attention to this, after all, it's the downfall of a major clan.

Even though it's now the period when the Wan Jie Tian Bei is opening, many worlds' attention is still unconsciously drawn to the demon clan's affair.

The Nether Clan Old Ancestor still residing in Dao Yi Shengdi, the Eternal Night Old Ancestor and others naturally also took notice of this.

They have their own information channels, but just like Dao Yi Shengdi, even top powers like Yongye and the Nether Clan have so far found no useful clues.

That day, after lunch, the crowd gathered as usual in the backyard of the canteen to chat, but the topic of conversation always revolved around the demon clan.

The Eternal Night Old Ancestor, changing from his usual lewd appearance, spoke with a solemn expression.

"The forces capable of opposing the demon clan in Zhu Tian Wan Jie are only a few—are they the God Clan or the Heaven Clan?"

The Eternal Night Old Ancestor's gaze has remained fixed on these several major powers.

After all, only they possess the strength to make the demon clan vanish without a trace overnight.

Beside him, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor, hearing this, also slightly furrowed his brows and said.

"Even the God Clan and Heaven Clan couldn't possibly wipe out the entire demon clan overnight."

Even if these major powers had the capability to destroy the now heavily wounded demon clan, they couldn't do it this swiftly.

To make the demon clan disappear without a trace overnight.

Except..................

"They joined forces."

The Eternal Night Old Ancestor added, this is the only explanation; otherwise, the demon clan could not have vanished overnight in Zhu Tian Wan Jie.

However, for now no information on this has been found yet; Yongye and the Nether Clan have already sent people to investigate this matter, and it's estimated that some more time will be needed before results appear.

However, the Eternal Night Old Ancestor and Nether Clan Old Ancestor's thoughts are the same as Qi Xiong's, Yun Xiantai's, and theirs.

Overall, we feel that the demon clan's sudden disappearance likely hides a greater secret behind it, and it's not as simple as it appears on the surface.

While the two old ancestors talked, those around dared not interrupt, each listening quietly.

At the same time, it's not only the Eternal Night Old Ancestor, Nether Clan Old Ancestor, Qi Xiong and these other senior powerhouses discussing this matter.

Within Dao Yi Shengdi, many disciples are likewise paying attention to this.

Well, after lunch, Xu Jie returned to Divine Sword Peak, and all the way he kept talking about the demon clan.

"How did the demon clan just vanish overnight? There wasn't even a hint beforehand."

"After all, they're also a top clan of Zhu Tian Wan Jie; although they suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, at least their foundation remains, so it shouldn't be like this."

Hearing Xu Jie's words, the accompanying Zhao Zhengping, Liu Shuang, and Lu Youyou all spoke helplessly.

"I say, Xú Lǎosān, you've been muttering all the way; the demon clan's matter will be handled by the Holy Master and Master, why are you worrying about nonsense here? Proper cultivation is the right path."

However, upon hearing this, Xu Jie gave Zhao Zhengping a sideways glance and said faintly.

"You still haven't realized the seriousness of this matter."

Huh???

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhengping, Liu Shuang, and Lu Youyou the three were all stunned, asking doubtfully.

"How so?"

Not understanding Xu Jie's meaning, how he suddenly made things mysterious and secretive, as if this matter still had some hidden secret.

Undeniably, the demon clan's sudden disappearance is indeed a major matter for Zhu Tian Wan Jie.

Many worlds' powerhouses are intensely concerned; this is something capable of altering the pattern of Zhu Tian Wan Jie.

But for Xu Jie and the others, this is still too far away.

Although these few now have Shèngjìng cultivation, which is considered not bad among the younger generation, facing something capable of affecting the entirety of Zhu Tian Wan Jie, they basically can't play any role.

Only someone like Qi Xiong, Yun Xiantai, or perhaps the Eternal Night Old Ancestor, Nether Clan Old Ancestor—those truly standing at the pinnacle of Zhu Tian Wan Jie—can influence the course of events.

Therefore, rather than worrying about such distant matters, it's better to focus on cultivation and properly improve one's cultivation, which is the right path.

But from the meaning of Xu Jie's words, it seems this matter is still related to them.

But I just can't figure out what connection this matter could have with these ordinary disciples.

The demon clan's downfall has no effect on them.

Under the doubtful gazes of the three, Xu Jie spoke unhurriedly.

"Think about it, the demon clan vanished without a trace overnight, the Demon Realm also fell, and thereafter Zhu Tian Wan Jie will have no demon clan—what will we do about our ingredients?"

Huh???

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Zhengping, Liu Shuang, and Lu Youyou the three were all stunned, and their faces immediately changed.

"Exactly, the demon clan is gone—what will we do for our ingredients later? The demon clan are all top-tier ingredients."

A flash of various strange colors flickered in their eyes; with Xu Jie's reminder, the three only then belatedly reacted.

Exactly, the food material is gone.

From now on, with the demon race gone, where will we get food material?

Third Shī xiōng, what should we do?

Seeing the three of them in this belatedly aware state, Xu Jie sighed helplessly.

How would I know? Even Shīzūn and the others found no clues, but the only good news is that the holy land still keeps some Demon Race Food Material.

Hearing this, Zhao Zhengping and the three others' eyes lit up; yeah, Dao Yi Shengdi still has some Demon Race Food Material.

It won't come to a complete cutoff.

Who would have thought that the demon race's downfall would also involve the matter of meals; now Zhao Zhengping and the others can no longer remain mere bystanders.

Eating is a top priority, after all.

And to eat, lacking food material is definitely not okay.

So on the way back, everyone discussed the remaining Demon Race Food Material.

These Demon Race Food Materials of the holy land must not encounter any problems.

Right, we need to remind the people of Yuzhu Feng, lest something weird happen.

Make sure they watch over these Demon Race Food Materials; they must not be cut off.

We also need to think of a way for these Demon Race Food Materials to propagate themselves.
