Chapter 641 - 266: Jiang Shi Returns! Celestial Demon Sect in Turmoil! (Part 2)
"Let’s target Venerable Bai Mei first."
The man in the blue robe’s gaze darkened, and he said, "Bai Mei’s power is profound; he’s not so easily eliminated. Besides, our power has been mostly exposed. We can’t always make the first move. Contact the Eighth and Fourteenth Masters; this time, let them act first."
"Alright, I will contact the Eighth Master and the Fourteenth Master immediately."
The elder beside him nodded, eager to leave quickly.
But just at that moment.
Suddenly, another elder moved swiftly, like the wind, fast approaching from afar, and shouted, "Elder Hu, wait!"
The elder’s body paused in confusion, looking back.
The swiftly arriving elder landed quickly near the Ninth Young Master, his expression changing. He quickly took out a confidential letter and whispered, "Young Master, something has happened. According to spies, the Black Lotus Saint Child has officially returned!"
"What? The Black Lotus Saint Child has returned?"
The Ninth Young Master’s face changed dramatically.
Even Elder Hu, who was just about to leave, showed a slight change in expression.
This fellow had mysteriously disappeared for so long and is finally returning.
The Ninth Young Master’s mind was thrown into chaos for a moment.
Jiang Shi’s strength was all too clear to him.
This terrifying figure was highly valued by his father, and even the Seven Great Venerables were nothing in his presence.
"Young Master, what should we do? Should we make a move ahead of time?"
Elder Hu’s eyes flashed with cold light, unable to resist speaking.
"Don’t rush!"
The Ninth Young Master hastily stopped Elder Hu, his mind rapidly changing, gritting his teeth, "Let’s go, meet Old Eight and Old Fourteen, and discuss a plan together!"
To deal with Jiang Shi, it was definitely not something he could handle alone.
They must gather the forces of the three brothers together.
Otherwise, there was absolutely no hope of success.
"Yes, Young Master!"
Elder Hu nodded immediately, his heart surging with murderous intent.
To be honest, he had never thought Jiang Shi was that difficult to handle; there was no one in this world that couldn’t be dealt with by poison.
Once again, the entire Celestial Demon Sect became a cauldron of turbulence.
Very quickly, the three Young Masters met once more. Learning of Jiang Shi’s return, their faces all changed, and a plan targeting Jiang Shi had rapidly taken shape.
...
...
The mountains stood tall and the full moon hung high.
A straight canyon stretched far into the distance.
Within the canyon, two carriages traveled one behind the other, moving forward.
"Do you see that? This is Devil’s Gorge, the most treacherous gorge outside the Celestial Demon Sect’s headquarters. Once you pass through this gorge, it won’t be long before you reach the Celestial Demon Sect headquarters."
Inside the carriage, Jiang Shi’s tone was calm, his voice slowly spreading out.
Beside him, the Grand Elder Cangwu, Earth King Zuo Qin, and Fire King Ying Xuan all looked around in amazement, unable to resist taking a closer look at their surroundings.
To be honest, despite their age, this was their first time coming to the Celestial Demon Sect.
For a moment, a deep curiosity arose in their hearts toward this leading sect of the Demon Dao.
"Young Master, who currently controls the sect inside?"
Cangwu asked, unable to hold back his curiosity.
The two beside him also turned to look at Jiang Shi inside the carriage.
"Who?"
Jiang Shi’s laughter suddenly came across, "Logically, it should be the Original Sect Leader’s second son, Ying Long, controlling it. But after all this time, I fear Ying Long can no longer manage the current Celestial Demon Sect. My guess is that the sect is likely in complete chaos by now."
"Oh?"
The eyes of Cangwu’s group of three flashed.
Could it be that the Young Master intends to seize the Celestial Demon Sect during the chaos and take the throne?
If that’s the case, it would definitely be an advantage for them in the Evil Dao Sect.
Just as the three were lost in thought, suddenly, a deafening burst of laughter erupted and rapidly echoed throughout the area.
"Black Lotus Saint Child, I’ve long admired your name. Today, I finally meet you, but I’m afraid you won’t be returning to the Celestial Demon Sect headquarters just yet. Better stay here for now, hahaha..."
Whoosh!
Along with the laughter came vast swathes of invisible poison mist, colorless and odorless, imperceptible and untouchable, blown by the wild wind, immediately sweeping towards everyone in the canyon.
"The air is poisonous!"
Cangwu’s face changed, and he quickly shouted.
They held their breath immediately, retreating backward in a frenzy.
But this poison was exceptionally strange, like the Soul-Seizing Lock, not entering through the nostrils, but rapidly penetrating the body through the pores. Before a person could realize, the poison had already rushed towards their internal organs and three soul seven spirit parts.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Suddenly, several tall and burly figures moved swiftly from the distant mountain peaks, racing towards them at speed, resembling nocturnal demon apes. In a blink of an eye, they landed at the forefront of the convoy, each wearing a smile, their eyes shining brightly as they looked towards Jiang Shi’s convoy.
Jiang Shi frowned, opening the carriage curtain and stepping out of the carriage, his eyes observing the people before him.
The leading man wore a yellow robe, appearing to be in his fifties or sixties, his face covered with yellow beard, wearing a smirk as his gaze sized up Jiang Shi.
"Black Lotus Saint Child, my Soul-locking Poison is formless and odorless, directly targeting the soul. No matter how strong your physical power is, it is nothing in front of my Soul-locking Poison. How’s the taste?"
The yellow-robed man laughed.
"Who are you? Why haven’t I seen you before?"
Jiang Shi frowned, staring at the person in front of him, and said, "I’ve never seen any of you before. How did you infiltrate the sect?"
