Among that group, there are definitely a few who have been possessed by Ancient True Demons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan said calmly, \"As for the purpose of this trip, you will understand if you think about what kind of place this is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Ancient Battlefield... the place where ancient cultivators and True Demons fought their final battle. Are they here to release the True Demons?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandfather guesses that releasing complete True Demons is impossible, but bringing out some remnant souls should be feasible. You, along with a few others among them, are meant to be vessels for possession.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Dewen was left speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I haven't even entered the Blackwater Region yet, and I'm already being targeted as a vessel?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for what that purpose is, Grandfather hasn't dealt much with True Demons, so I can't guess it for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what should your grandson do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Dewen regained his composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Xu Chuan had appeared, he naturally wouldn't just watch him be possessed and perish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leaving aside your Heavenly Fiend Soul Devouring talent, which makes possession largely ineffective against you, Grandfather won't just stand by and watch either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, most True Demon remnant souls are at the Divine Transformation stage or higher. They are absolute treasures that can be refined into Divine Sense Crystals, which greatly enhance divine sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you trust Grandfather, just stay with them for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandfather, you want to kill the True Demon remnant souls?!\" Xu Dewen asked in astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan's lips curled up into a smile. \"Don't worry. Our Xu Clan has killed more than one or two people possessed by True Demons back in the Heavenly South. We are quite experienced at this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh, is our Xu Clan's scope of business really that broad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pausing for a moment, Xu Dewen cupped his fists and said, \"I trust you, Grandfather. I will follow your every command.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm. Grandfather will not contact you again after this, so be careful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Grandfather.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two immediately exited the Xu Clan's Grotto-heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan ordered the Profound Yin Corpse King to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Profound Yin Corpse King had suffered considerable injuries. Although its foundation remained unharmed, it would still need some time to recuperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the corpse king flee into the distance, the war demon condensed by the formation did not pursue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Firstly, the formation had a distance limit. Secondly, they had their own matters to attend to and did not want to waste time on this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, there were quite a few fourth-tier creatures deep within the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they fought to the bitter end every time they encountered one, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-robed youth arrived by Xu Dewen's side, glanced at him, and chuckled disdainfully. \"It seems you understand the times like a wise hero.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Would running be of any use?\" Xu Dewen snorted coldly. \"But I don't understand why you brought me along. I am just a lowly Early-Stage Golden Core cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a place as dangerous as the Ancient Battlefield, I should be nothing but a burden to you all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop asking questions. You naturally have your uses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-robed youth did not elaborate. \"Let's go. We must continue our journey.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helpless, Xu Dewen could only obediently follow along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a time like this, a wise man submits to circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group continued heading west.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the journey was fraught with danger, they could encounter demonic beasts and demonic creatures every day or two, perhaps even a Mei or a Corpse Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, their travel speed wasn't particularly fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They even had to stop and rest from time to time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan trailed them for a day or two before stopping. Instead, he continued searching for spirit veins, spirit medicines, and spirit ores deep within the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he didn't distance himself too far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remained consistently within a fifteen to twenty thousand-kilometer radius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, compared to spirit veins and spirit medicines, Xu Dewen was obviously far more important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over two months passed just like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed middle-aged man, the purple-robed youth, and the rest finally arrived at a place thick with ghastly demonic qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are we stopping?\" Xu Dewen noticed everyone's expressions relaxing. Many wore smiles, clearly indicating they were nearing their destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I wonder where Grandfather is now?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan, naturally, did not know exactly what was happening in real-time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But by using the Heavenly Secret Dao Derivation to deduce Xu Dewen's safety for the next seven days, he could generally grasp the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several days ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan had utilized his deduction technique once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Transitioning from Safety to Danger]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the deduced result, Xu Chuan frowned slightly and muttered, \"It seems they are about to reach the end of their journey soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't hesitate and immediately chased after them with full speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Profound Yin Corpse King and the Blood Fiend Ghost King simultaneously cleared the path ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guarded by two streams of fourth-tier spiritual pressure, even a fourth-tier Corpse Xiao or Ghost King would have to weigh whether it was worth facing two great powerhouses at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Xu Chuan's journey was not entirely smooth sailing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were always one or two fourth-tier demonic beasts and creatures with lower intelligence that acted regardless of life or death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Profound Yin Corpse King and Blood Fiend Ghost King besieged them together. Xu Chuan utilized his Sword of Divine Sense to severely injure their divine souls, followed by fierce bombardments using the Azure Dragon Sword Formation and the Heavy Profound Seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two or three fourth-tier demonic beasts and creatures died by their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their physical bodies were tough and their divine abilities were not weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they were inflexible, and their escape abilities were even inferior to some Golden Core Completion stage cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Xu Chuan's trio, they were ultimately slain after an hour or two of bitter fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was unknown why their divine souls were corroded and their intelligence remained low, their bodies provided genuine fourth-tier materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, Xu Chuan felt the corpse of a demonic creature could still be used to refine several powerful demonic corpses recorded in the Corpse Yin Sect's methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the refining process would be arduous and time-consuming, once completed, it would yield a creation at least at the late stage of the third tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its immense strength could rival the peak third-tier Profound Yin Blood Corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What dense demonic qi this place has.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan gazed into the distance, about a dozen miles ahead. A radius of tens of thousands of kilometers was shrouded in a ghastly demonic mist, making it completely impossible to see the situation inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Tree King had told him many things about the Ancient Battlefield back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The area was vast. Even a grand Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't possibly know every single location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, deep within the battlefield, there were even more dangerous zones. If a Nascent Soul stage cultivator let greed blind their eyes, they would likely perish as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A True Demon must have fallen here, and perhaps even an existence above the Divine Transformation realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he knew there were definitely dangers inside, Xu Chuan had no choice but to take a trip in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heavenly Secret Dao Derivation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Xu Chuan deduced his own safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Equal parts good and bad fortune. It's not too terrible; I can risk it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two hours after Xu Dewen's group entered the area, Xu Chuan also arrived at the demonic mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The demonic mist condenses without dispersing, and it doesn't cross a certain boundary. There must be a restriction in place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan muttered, raising his hand to touch it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clear light flashed and vanished, showing absolutely no intention of stopping Xu Chuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a profound restriction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that said, Xu Chuan stepped through the restriction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within half an hour after his entry, two more figures arrived at this location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Martial Uncle, where is this?\" a youth in tight-fitting black attire asked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Demon-Suppressing Mountain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who spoke was a black-robed old man holding a banner. He continued to explain, \"This is the place where an ancient grand powerful cultivator suppressed True Demons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-clothed youth immediately thought of something and said in astonishment, \"Martial Uncle wants to capture a True Demon remnant soul and refine it into the primary soul of the Thousand Soul Banner?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there any reason I cannot?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-clothed youth hurriedly shook his head. \"I am just amazed by Martial Uncle's grand ambition! If you truly use a True Demon remnant soul as the core and a hundred ghosts as raw materials, you will definitely be able to refine a fourth-tier Ghost King!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you willing to lend your Martial Uncle a helping hand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-clothed youth bowed, cupped his fists respectfully, and said, \"I am willing to serve Martial Uncle like a horse or a dog!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Old fossil, you just want to use me as bait, don't you.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-clothed youth's inner thoughts were starkly different from his outward expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't a novice who had just entered the cultivation world. With his Golden Core Completion stage cultivation and his divine abilities trained to Great Accomplishment, he could definitely be called an expert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew very well that True Demon remnant souls were not so easily captured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of them wanted to possess a body and live another life. If they faced a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, they probably wouldn't easily reveal themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when possessing someone at the Golden Core stage, their chance of success was seventy to eighty percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And besides these three groups, two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Heavenly South had entered from another direction before the purple-robed youth's party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demon-Suppressing Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the name implied, this place didn't merely hold the opportunities of suppressed True Demons, but potentially the inheritance of that ancient grand powerful cultivator as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside Demon-Suppressing Mountain, demonic qi was dense and eerie. The creatures living here had, without exception, all been demonized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daoist Friend Zhang, this place is quite different from what you described.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This place was discovered by my honored master. After all, a thousand years have passed. Perhaps some suppressed demonic remnant souls have already escaped their seals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that's the case, then we must be careful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two people—one was Zhang Daoran, the Sect Master of the Profound Moon Sect, who had briefly cooperated with Xu Chuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other was an Early-Stage Nascent Soul cultivator from the Clear Void Sect named Daoist Cang He.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He specialized in Daoist Thunder Methods, which greatly restrained demonic souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cooperation between their two factions had been negotiated between the Ancestor of Profound Moon and the Supreme First Elder of the Clear Void Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking the True Demon remnant souls into consideration, the Clear Void Sect had specifically dispatched Daoist Cang He to participate in this expedition to the Ancient Battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after these various forces entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside a grand hall near Demon-Suppressing Mountain, a middle-aged man in a dark robe opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This time around, Demon-Suppressing Mountain is exceptionally lively!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me first test their respective strengths.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An invisible undulation rippled outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a radius of three hundred miles, countless demonized beasts raised their heads, their eyes burning red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They divided into four groups, charging toward the purple-robed youth's party, Zhang Daoran's duo, Xu Chuan, and the banner-holding old man's pair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour or two later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed middle-aged man and the purple-robed youth saw numerous demonized beasts charging at them, ranging from tier one to tier three existences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others immediately went on high alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the two of them exchanged a glance and immediately released their True Demon pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demonized beasts abruptly skidded to a halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong with them?\" the rest of the group asked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the beasts, a late third-tier giant black snake, suddenly sent a voice transmission to the two men. \"So you are of our kind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed middle-aged man replied, \"We wouldn't dare. For Your Excellency to be able to execute the Thousand Thoughts Soul Control, you must be an existence above the Divine Transformation realm. The two of us were merely foot soldiers back in the day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We discovered this sealed land last time, but unfortunately, we didn't have enough time or ideal vessels, so we had to plan for the next opportunity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, so the rest of those people are vessels for possession?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is correct. Some grand figures hope to rescue some of our compatriots this time. This will bolster our forces to prepare for the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant black snake's crimson pupils rippled slightly as its divine sense swept over the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, its gaze fell upon Xu Dewen, and it asked, \"This person is different from the rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-robed youth replied, \"To answer Your Excellency, the others can all be considered descendants of our True Demon race. As for this person, he was an unexpected acquisition. Your Excellency should be able to sense the True Demon origin within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must possess a natural True Demon physique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for exactly what kind of physique from our race it is, it's hard to judge just yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if any excellency manages to possess him, they might be able to use his True Demon origin to obscure heavenly secrets and clear their path to the great Dao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant black snake understood what the purple-robed youth meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Dao was abnormal. Even native cultivators of this world found it extremely difficult to advance after reaching the Nascent Soul realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for the True Demon race, the difficulty of breaking through was more than ten times greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ninety-nine percent of them were stuck at the Early-Stage Nascent Soul realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for a long while, the giant black snake continued, \"Then follow me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a roar, the rest of the demonized beasts scattered, and the snake turned to slither deep into the demonic mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep up,\" the black-robed middle-aged man ordered in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone promptly followed the two forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Dewen's gaze darted back and forth between the giant black snake and the black-robed middle-aged man. 'Did they just strike some kind of deal?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of which, what exactly is the background of that giant black snake? It can actually control the other demonized beasts.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other fronts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fierce battles had erupted everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The banner-holding old man waved his long banner, releasing over a thousand second-tier and above yin souls and ghostly creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The piercing shrieks of ghosts dispersed the surrounding demonic mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-clothed youth beside him slapped his storage pouch and similarly pulled out a black banner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two banners were similar, but the youth's was clearly far less profound than the old man's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan also had a banner like this in his hands, which was none other than the Hundred Ghost Banner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive horde of ghostly creatures slaughtered the hundred or so demonized beasts surrounding them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These demonic beasts didn't even have a peak third-tier existence among them; the strongest were merely at the late third-tier. With only a dozen or so beasts above the third-tier, they were naturally no match for the old man and the youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, both men harbored ulterior motives. The youth was constantly looking for a chance to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he sensed an extremely faint divine sense lingering around him, forcing him to stay his hand and remain still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Zhang Daoran's side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daoist Friend Cang He, there is no need for you to act against these mere demonized beasts. Save your mana for what lies ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I will leave them to you, Daoist Friend Zhang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang He stood quietly to the side, watching as Zhang Daoran formed a sword finger and slowly raised his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, golden flying swords materialized all around him—to his sides, in front of him, and above him—numbering in the hundreds, if not thousands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strike!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Daoran commanded in a low voice. All the golden flying swords formed from his mana transformed into streaks of sword light, piercing straight toward the surrounding demonized beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Squelch! Squelch! Squelch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a single volley, all demonized beasts below the third tier were sliced in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a dozen or so third-tier demonized beasts remained standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they had also suffered heavy injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several bloody holes riddled their bodies, oozing black blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Daoran frowned, a trace of disgust in his eyes. \"The blood of these demonized beasts is tainted with demonic qi. They are completely useless now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sword fingers danced lightly, conjuring another flurry of golden flying swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these swords converged, forming dozens of massive twenty-meter-long golden blades, each radiating an incredibly sharp sword qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This must be the Myriad Sword Art,\" Cang He stroked his beard and smiled faintly. \"It held quite the reputation even in the Ancient Era.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Profound Moon Sect cannot compare to your Clear Void Sect's vast enterprise and profound heritage. I imagine your esteemed sect possesses no shortage of sword arts of this caliber.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang He smiled slightly, not directly revealing his sect's foundation. \"Daoist Friend Zhang loves to joke. Even my senior brothers speak endlessly of your honored master, the Ancestor of Profound Moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They say that if anyone in this generation has the most hope of breaking through to Divine Transformation, your master is definitely one of them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so? I wonder who the others are?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two chatted casually, all the demonized beasts were completely eradicated, and they proceeded to fly toward Demon-Suppressing Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan walked alone through the demonic mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pairs of crimson eyes lit up all around him. They were packed so densely it would make anyone's scalp tingle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan, naturally, had sensed them long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even deliberately observed them for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They advance systematically and know how to encircle. Demonized beasts mostly have low intelligence and absolutely cannot pull this off unless someone is controlling them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the controller is hiding among them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Found you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Xu Chuan spotted the late third-tier blood wolf positioned slightly near the back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nether Shadow Evasion!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shadowless Assassination!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A seamless combo of assassination techniques instantly inflicted a heavy wound upon the blood wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he flicked his sleeve robe. The Heavy Profound Seal flew out, swelling to fifteen meters in size against the wind, and viciously smashed onto the blood wolf's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A late third-tier demonic beast fell dead on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The obscure wisp of divine sense attached to the blood wolf dissipated in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone's every move fell squarely into the eyes of the dark-robed middle-aged man in the grand hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My True Demon race, a Demonic Dao Nascent Soul, Righteous Path Nascent Souls, and a Golden Core stage junior with astonishing perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things are truly getting lively this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pausing, his deep voice echoed through the grand hall once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That Righteous Path sword cultivator seems to carry a repulsive aura. It reminds this Lord of that detestable brat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wonder what his connection is to Zhang Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that Golden Core junior. To think he could spot the beast my divine sense was attached to in just a few breaths. His concealment skills are equally remarkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he acted, even this Lord mistook him for a Nascent Soul cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mid-stage Golden Core. Although he relied on a magic treasure, being able to slay a late third-tier blood wolf in two moves places his strength at the absolute peak of the Golden Core stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope they can bring this Lord some entertainment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-robed youth's group was the first to arrive at the three-hundred-meter-tall black hall at the foot of Demon-Suppressing Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the grand hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed middle-aged man and the purple-robed youth bowed first and said, \"Greetings, Your Excellency.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the rest of the group followed suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Lord knows why you are here, but shaking the seals of Demon-Suppressing Mountain is not that easy. Wait here in the hall for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other guests will be arriving shortly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed middle-aged man furrowed his brows slightly. \"Does Your Excellency know who they are?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Righteous Path, the Demonic Dao, and a little fellow with decent potential!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-robed youth was about to say something, but the black-robed middle-aged man sent a voice transmission to stop him. \"No one understands the situation here better than he does.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We will just follow his arrangements in everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stood off to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than a quarter of an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roughly a hundred meters outside the grand hall, two figures landed—one a streak of golden radiance, the other a flash of cyan light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was exactly Zhang Daoran and the old Daoist Cang He.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's actually a grand hall here? What's going on?\" Cang He mused. \"This hall is permeated with deep demonic qi. It shouldn't have been left by the original owner of this place, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Daoran raised his eyebrows, deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deep voice drifted out from the grand hall. \"Since the two Daoist Friends have come from afar, why not come in for a chat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Daoran and Cang He exchanged a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daoist Friend Zhang, what do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I might have guessed who the other party is, but since the situation is still unclear, there's no harm in going in to take a look first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you put it that way, Daoist Friend, this poor Daoist shall accompany you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two stepped into the grand hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They immediately noticed the black-robed middle-aged man and his group on the left. All of them were Golden Core Completion stage cultivators, save for one whose aura seemed completely different from the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cultivation was merely at the Early-Stage Golden Core realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Daoran looked toward the throne elevated above the steps of the hall. Seated there was a dark-robed middle-aged man who looked indolent yet wickedly charming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He possessed a burly physique and radiated a unique, imposing aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He controlled his aura flawlessly; even when they tried to probe him, they couldn't discern his cultivation realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is Zhang Fan to you?\" the dark-robed middle-aged man asked softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Daoran did not conceal the truth. \"He is my honored master. You must be Demon Lord Qifeng, correct? I've heard my master speak of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? He isn't dead yet? It seems he has stepped into the Nascent Soul realm as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Demon Lord, Zhang Fan is renowned across both regions. Any Nascent Soul power knows of him without exception,\" the purple-robed youth interjected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has that shameless scoundrel really reached such a level?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today, he is respectfully addressed as the Ancestor of Profound Moon, the founder of the Profound Moon Sect. Hundreds of years ago, he was already a grand Nascent Soul cultivator famous throughout the Heavenly South and Blackwater Regions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This realm has truly declined. To think a mere Late-Stage Nascent Soul is worthy of being called a grand cultivator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang He's heart surged with waves of shock. He had never expected the Ancestor of Profound Moon to be connected to this old monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Demon Lord, please refrain from sullying my master's reputation. Was it not you who deceived my master first? Besides, your relationship was merely one of mutual exploitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, you also achieved your goal, didn't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But this Lord is still trapped in this accursed place!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling the past, Demon Lord Qifeng abruptly unleashed a terrifying burst of demonic qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Could this man be an Ancient True Demon reborn through possession?!' Cang He thought in shock, immediately sending a voice transmission to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is correct.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daoist Friend Zhang, this is completely different from what was discussed! A True Demon remnant soul and a reincarnated Ancient True Demon are not the same thing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this demon has clearly recovered to the Nascent Soul level. I just don't know if he's at the Early-Stage or Mid-Stage. If it's the latter...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want Spirit Treasures, how could it be simple? But rest assured, Daoist Friend Cang He, he cannot unleash his full strength within the Demon-Suppressing Mountain region. Do you really think that ancient grand powerful cultivator was an incompetent fool!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At most, he possesses Mid-Stage Nascent Soul strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your Thunder Methods inherently restrain him, and with my help, we are more than capable of holding him off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well, this poor Daoist will proceed as planned. But if we find any Spirit Treasures, my Clear Void Sect gets the first pick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scheming of old foxes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Daoran didn't mind. Compared to Spirit Treasures, his real goal this time lay elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the sudden outburst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Demon Lord Qifeng's demonic qi rapidly retracted, vanishing without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Never mind. It's nothing but ancient history.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the corners of his mouth curled up. \"Another guest has arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, the banner-holding old man stepped into the grand hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The banner in his hand was quite famous. The others recognized it at a glance, murmuring, \"The Thousand Soul Banner. Heavenly Ghost Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Robes of the Profound Moon Sect and the Clear Void Sect. This old man is Yin Wind. How should I address you two Daoist Friends?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Profound Moon Sect, Zhang Daoran!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clear Void Sect, Cang He.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Old Demon Yin Wind, vigilance surfaced in the eyes of Zhang Daoran and Cang He.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were certain this old demon's strength was not far inferior to theirs. If his Thousand Soul Banner contained a fourth-tier Ghost King as its primary soul...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then even the two of them combined might have to retreat to a safe distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Demon Yin Wind looked toward the black-robed middle-aged man's group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are just nameless juniors. We are hardly worth mentioning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Old Demon Yin Wind dismissed them entirely. With a grave expression, he looked at the dark-robed middle-aged man on the throne. \"You appear to be the master of this place. How should I address you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daoist Friend may call me Demon Lord Qifeng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pondering for a brief moment, a ripple went through his eyes. \"You are an Ancient True Demon?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demon Lord Qifeng did not reply to the question. Instead, he said, \"This Lord knows why you are all here. Once our final guest arrives, we can lay everything on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knows, we might all walk away with profits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's still someone else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn't until a full half hour later that Xu Chuan finally arrived at the grand hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Restrictions guarded the exterior of the hall, making it impossible to pry into the situation inside with divine sense. Xu Chuan hovered in mid-air for a moment, originally intending to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a voice transmission rang in his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you've come all this way, why not come in for a chat? This place is quite lively.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan knitted his brows upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It seems Dewen and his group are definitely here, and there should be more than just their faction. The master of this hall... is an Ancient True Demon, isn't he.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan didn't know much about this place, but he could piece together a thing or two from the clues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Xu Chuan ultimately flew into the grand hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mid-Stage Golden Core?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan did not suppress his cultivation realm, adopting a fierce and intimidating appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he entered, multiple streams of divine sense swept over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Demon Yin Wind instantly lost interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old Daoist Cang He did the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Zhang Daoran felt a vague sense of familiarity, yet he was absolutely certain he had never met this person before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhang Daoran, Xu Chuan was inwardly stunned, but he showed not the slightest hint of it on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he respectfully cupped his hands to everyone one by one and said calmly, \"I am Li. Greetings, Seniors. I had no intention of trespassing here, I beg your pardon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A visitor from afar is a guest. There is no need for formalities, little friend Li,\" Demon Lord Qifeng smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"May I ask where this place is? The demonic qi is suffocating. Could it be a demonic domain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Allow this Lord to introduce it. This place is called Demon-Suppressing Mountain. It is where an ancient cultivator sealed away a massive number of True Demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain behind this grand hall is the sealing ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only are many True Demon remnant souls sealed inside the mountain, but there is also the inheritance left behind by that ancient cultivator. Profound cultivation methods, top-tier magic treasures, ancient Spirit Treasures, Nascent Soul formation pills, and Realm-Breaking Pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are even a couple of auxiliary pills and spiritual materials for breaking through to the Divine Transformation realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Daoran's expression shifted upon hearing this. He had come precisely for the opportunities related to Nascent Soul formation and Divine Transformation, yet Demon Lord Qifeng had openly exposed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that there were opportunities for both Nascent Soul formation and Divine Transformation...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether they were in the Golden Core stage or the Nascent Soul stage, everyone's eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not doubt me; every word this Lord has spoken is true.\" Demon Lord Qifeng smiled. \"The reason I brought this up is because I want to make a deal with you all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want us to help you escape this place?\" Old Demon Yin Wind raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Lord will help you obtain what you desire, and you will help me escape my confinement. Wouldn't that be mutually beneficial?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And why would we need your help?\" Old Demon Yin Wind challenged. \"Since we know there are treasures on the mountain, we can just go and retrieve them ourselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you are welcome to try, Daoist Friend Yin Wind. Let us see if you can even fly onto the mountain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Demon Yin Wind fell silent. He then looked toward Zhang Daoran. \"The Ancestor of Profound Moon has entered before. Does Daoist Friend Zhang know the way into the mountain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Daoran sighed inwardly. He hadn't expected things to become so complicated this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The mountain in the back is the true Demon-Suppressing Mountain. This entire area is named after it. There are restrictions on the mountain, and forcing your way in will never succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One can only enter through the gaps in the restrictions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The gap you know of disappeared a long time ago. If you want to enter, your only option is to seek my help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, if you all are not interested, you are completely free to leave. This Lord will not stop you in the slightest.\" Demon Lord Qifeng put on an air of complete magnanimity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone remained silent, exchanging glances with one another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Dewen glanced at the cultivator surnamed Li. He could roughly guess that it was Xu Chuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the current situation was too complex. Not only was there an Ancient True Demon, but there was also this group of True Demon descendants, two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Heavenly South, and one from the Blackwater Region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Xu Chuan mishandled even a single detail, a minor Mid-Stage Golden Core cultivator like him could easily be used as a sacrifice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Grandfather, oh Grandfather. This is entirely walking on a tightrope. If you had just taken me away earlier, we wouldn't be in such a mess.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Dewen sighed quietly in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he didn't dare reveal any of this on his face lest someone notice something amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you want?\" Zhang Daoran suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the sake of the Profound Moon Sect, he had to take the risk of venturing into Demon-Suppressing Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had known about Demon Lord Qifeng from the start, and he carried trump cards powerful enough to resist him, as well as life-saving magic treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The sealing restrictions of Demon-Suppressing Mountain are not something we can break.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Breaking them is impossible, but temporarily blinding them so this Lord can leave shouldn't be too hard. Wouldn't you agree?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Daoran remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daoist Cang He asked, \"Daoist Friend Zhang, what does he mean by this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A True Demon's possession takes roughly half an hour. Within this timeframe, if the possessed vessel can escape this restricted area, they will remain unharmed by the array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they fail to escape in time, they will never be able to leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that's how it is,\" Old Demon Yin Wind and Cang He muttered to themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about it? With so many people in this grand hall, picking out a vessel for this Lord's possession shouldn't be difficult, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, the Nascent Soul stage cultivators would never agree to it themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they cast their assessing gazes over everyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Demon Yin Wind shot a glance at the black-clothed youth. The youth's heart trembled, and he immediately spoke up, \"That group over there are all at the Golden Core stage. Just pick any one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that won't do, there's also that solitary Mid-Stage Golden Core cultivator who wandered in by mistake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better a dead fellow Daoist than a dead poor Daoist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it came to sending others to their deaths, the black-clothed youth felt absolutely no psychological burden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed middle-aged man glared at the black-clothed youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the people they had brought were indeed intended to be vessels for possession, they hadn't openly admitted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Offering them up publicly would do no favors for their group's unity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, with so many Nascent Soul stage cultivators present, their group could only rely on their battle formations to cope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed middle-aged man swept his gaze over Xu Dewen and Xu Chuan, then cupped his fists toward Demon Lord Qifeng. \"Lord Demon Lord, this junior believes this Daoist Friend makes a fair point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person is extremely suitable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Demon Yin Wind scrutinized Xu Chuan closely, then decided firmly, \"Then it will be you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do Daoist Friend Zhang and Daoist Friend Cang He think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as their three factions agreed, could a mere insignificant Xu Chuan possibly turn the heavens upside down?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems this is our only option,\" Daoist Cang He sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Daoran said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demon Lord Qifeng looked at Xu Chuan with great interest. \"The others have spoken. Do you agree, little friend Li?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why wouldn't I?\" Xu Chuan smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This smile caused a look of utter astonishment to spread across everyone else's faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was there actually someone in this world willing to willingly go to their death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And doing it so happily at that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Demon Yin Wind wore a bizarre expression. 'Could this boy possess a trump card capable of preventing possession?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But against the possession of an Ancient True Demon remnant soul, only Nascent Soul stage cultivators who had formed their nascent souls had a chance to resist. A Golden Core stage cultivator should be completely powerless to fend it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Interesting. Are you truly willing to become this Lord's vessel for possession?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Being able to become the Demon Lord's vessel is my great fortune. However, I assume the Demon Lord won't proceed with the possession right now. Otherwise, a mere Golden Core body would never be able to escape the grasp of so many Nascent Soul cultivators.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You see things quite clearly.\" Demon Lord Qifeng said, \"Indeed. Even if I possess you, it will naturally be at the final moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since that is the case, you all must swear oaths. Swear that you will not interfere with this Lord's possession. And you, little friend Li, must swear that you voluntarily offer your body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan was the very first to casually swear the oath, leaving everyone staring at him in sheer bewilderment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was there something wrong with this guy's head?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could he actually be a fanatical true believer of the True Demons?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To think he was even willing to sacrifice his own body!\u003C\u002Fp>",6022,"2026-06-06T10:09:39.417Z",1,"novelbin.me","d2287c4906387030f8f5951abe0a5bde1a4ec690be528dde7e1d033ca1861134","starting-from-the-blood-lineage-genealogy-to-bui-chapter-434","starting-from-the-blood-lineage-genealogy-to-bui-chapter-432",454,null]
