Chapter 663 - 273: A Monumental Secret! (Part 3)

"The Celestial Demon Bell has rung? Who is ringing the bell?"

"Could it be Jiang Shi?"

Venerable Bai Mei furrowed his brow and said, "I shall go out and have a look!"

His robust figure leapt forward like a great bird, rushing wildly toward the outside of the hall.

Just as he was about to shout sternly, his pupils suddenly constricted, showing shock, then a look of disbelief and joy spread across his face as he hurriedly rushed towards the Celestial Demon Sect Leader.

"Subordinate Bai Mei, pays respects to the Sect Leader!"

Venerable Bai Mei’s face was filled with excitement, as if in a dream, tears streaming down his face, "Sect Leader, you have finally returned!"

The Celestial Demon Sect Leader’s expression slightly softened, glancing at Venerable Bai Mei, he said, "Bai Mei, you have worked hard, get up!"

"Yes, Sect Leader!"

Venerable Bai Mei cupped his hands in response, unable to contain his excitement, "Subordinate will go to notify the Young Master!"

He immediately used his Lightweight Skill, darting towards the Celestial Demon Hall.

The Second Young Master Ying Long, upon learning of his father’s return, also had a change of expression, immediately rushing out swiftly, his heart filled with excitement, he kneeled and bowed, "Your child pays respect to Father!"

"Alright, get up."

The Celestial Demon Sect Leader waved lightly, saying, "Next, all of you leave first, I have some matters to discuss with Jiang Shi, after the discussion, you may come in again!"

"Yes, Father (Sect Leader)!"

Ying Long and Venerable Bai Mei immediately cupped their hands, their bodies slowly retreating.

Even the sect members who had just gathered were whispering to each other, waiting outside the hall.

The Celestial Demon Sect Leader and Jiang Shi walked directly towards the large seat.

Sitting gently in the familiar seat, the Celestial Demon Sect Leader furrowed his brow deeply and took a slight sniff, detecting the lingering scent of blood in the air, he sighed softly, "Jiang Shi, do you know what we encountered deep in the Primordial Great Mountains?"

"This subordinate does not know, dare to ask the Sect Leader to inform."

Jiang Shi cupped his hands, his eyes suspicious.

"The Primordial Great Mountains, it was simply a nightmare."

The Celestial Demon Sect Leader’s gaze was profound, he raised his head to look at the void before him, saying, "If I could, I really do not want to experience it a second time, but unfortunately, unfortunately..."

"Unfortunately?"

Jiang Shi was puzzled.

The Celestial Demon Sect Leader suddenly looked at Jiang Shi, speaking in a solemn tone, "Jiang Shi, the creatures deep within the Primordial Great Mountains are about to emerge."

"Those alien races are about to come forth?"

Jiang Shi’s expression was shocked.

"Yes, the Ancient Saints can no longer suppress them, during this negotiation with them, we were completely defeated, among that group of alien races are many experts, we are completely no match, and soon, they will begin to appear in this world in batches."

The Celestial Demon Sect Leader spoke in a deep tone, "However, our Ancient Saints have also reached an agreement with them, that they are not allowed to massacre wantonly, cannot provoke wantonly, both sides will coexist peacefully, and mutually respect each other, if they want to search for something, they can search for it themselves, or we can help them look, but they absolutely cannot cause a big uproar for it."

"What?"

Jiang Shi was shocked, quickly processing in his mind, "Not allowed to massacre wantonly, do you really think this agreement can restrain that group of alien races?"

"It’s precisely because I know it can’t that I feel the future is bleak."

The Celestial Demon Sect Leader let out a long sigh, "You have never been to the Primordial Mountain Range, you have no idea what kind of world it is, we humans are truly tiny, compared to them, like dust."

"Are they really that powerful? If they are indeed so strong, then how did the Human Race drive them out back then?"

Jiang Shi asked.

"How did they?"

The Celestial Demon Sect Leader gave a bitter smile, "At first, I, like you, thought that our ancestors among the Human Race used strategies to drive them out, later I discovered, wrong, it was all wrong, those who drove this group of alien races out from the beginning, were not people from our world."

"Not people from this world?"

Jiang Shi was shocked.

"Yes, he came from overseas, a mysterious identity, single-handedly changed the situation of heaven and earth, making that group of alien races sign a ten-thousand-year contract with humans."

The Celestial Demon Sect Leader spoke softly.

"Overseas?"

Jiang Shi furrowed his brow again, "Could it be the Outer Sea?"

"Yes!"

The Celestial Demon Sect Leader replied in a deep tone, "That was a truly terrifying existence, unfortunately, since that year, this world has never had any news of this person."

"What was that senior’s name?"

Jiang Shi asked.

"Not clear, all that’s known is that the only three remaining Ancient Saints all refer to him as Nameless Venerable."

The Celestial Demon Sect Leader said.

"Nameless Venerable..."

Jiang Shi repeated the words, then asked again, "Approximately when will that group of alien races emerge?"

"Most likely within the next few months."

The Celestial Demon Sect Leader replied deeply, "We were the first to return, that group of alien races will also come in batches, because there exists a powerful barrier between the Primordial Mountain Range and the Great Heng Dynasty, only a small number can pass through at a time, so they won’t all come at once. Jiang Shi, I plan to retract the Celestial Demon Sect over these few months, shifting to a defense-oriented approach, to avoid conflicts with that group of alien races, what do you think?"

Jiang Shi pondered slightly and said, "It’s not a bad idea!"

"Hmm, since that’s the case, I’ll issue the orders then!"

The Celestial Demon Sect Leader spoke in a deep tone.

It was evident that this expedition to the Primordial Mountain Range indeed brought tremendous pressure on him.

Otherwise, with his personality, he wouldn’t willingly back down.

"Sect Leader, what exactly is that group of alien races looking for in this world?"

Jiang Shi’s eyes flickered, asking again.

"Looking for..."

The Celestial Demon Sect Leader’s eyes narrowed slightly, repeating, then said solemnly, "The Gate of the Fallen Emperor!"

"The Gate of the Fallen Emperor?"

Jiang Shi was stunned.

"Yes, it’s said to be an extremely mysterious, yet profoundly transformative object that can even alarm ancient Divine Spirits. Once this item surfaces, it’s estimated that the entire Great Heng World could be directly overturned!"

The Celestial Demon Sect Leader said in a low voice.

Jiang Shi’s expression was shocked, even more incredulous.

This world indeed conceals great secrets!
