Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 554: A Bad Start
Suddenly seeing this situation, the curious people outside smiled meaningfully.

Although there are only nine major demon tribes, nearly twenty people, participating in the battle for the Demon Court, due to the preciousness of the opportunity, they are divided into close and distant groups.

This was what happened in the last battle in the Demon Court. Jiusheng Mountain, together with Yinyue Mountain and the Tantai clan, drove out all the participants from Juding Mountain and Moyuan in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Juding Mountain has been in a state of decline for the past five hundred years, because Jiusheng Mountain has seized the initiative and its cultivation level is ahead of its peers in southern Xinjiang.

Now that these families have come together again, and this time with the addition of Jinbei Mountain and Luyou Mountain, their strength has been further improved. I'm afraid the same process as last time will be repeated...

"Look everyone, that's the Tenth Prince of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. He's truly noble and extraordinary!"

"I heard that this Tenth Prince is invincible among his peers in the East China Sea. I wonder if it's true..."

"Whether it's true or not, the Tenth Prince has come to our Southern Border. It seems that he is going to act together with the Nine Sacred Mountains and others."

Everyone was discussing this, feeling that their group was the most difficult to provoke in the Demon Court this time...

Not long after, Juding Mountain and Xuanzeng Mountain arrived late.

"Brother Bear!"

Xiong Mokun hadn't even stood still when he saw two lean figures approaching with smiles on their faces. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Sun, how are you?"

Sun Ersheng was not good at speaking and only nodded with a smile. However, Sun Sande beside him smiled and replied, "Brother Xiong has been in seclusion for more than ten years. If we talk about who is most anxious, it has to be my second brother."

Sun Ersheng is obsessed with martial arts and often competes with Xiong Mokun. Unfortunately, Xiong Mokun is in seclusion and cannot come out. Now he has no satisfactory opponent for a while and can only practice with him, which is not satisfying at all.

Xiong Mokun waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Brother Sun. There are many skilled players in the Demon Court this time. You will have a good time..."

There was a lot of lively conversation and laughter going on around him, but Xuan Zheshan felt a little awkward.

Looking around, all the major demon tribes have close relatives. The Jiusheng Mountain group is the largest, plus Mo Yuan and Qingze Lake. Now even the usually solitary Zhuyan Mountain has found Juding Mountain to join them. Only the Xuanzeng Mountain lineage is left, which is becoming more and more conspicuous.

Chen Mu's expression remained unchanged. When his gaze shifted, only Jiao Shiyi and Li Qingyan nodded slightly to him.

"It's not a good start..."

He murmured in his heart, but he was not too surprised. After all, he had anticipated the situation beforehand.

Hua Meimei didn't take it seriously at all. She smiled and walked to the side with Chen Mu and sat down, waiting for the Nascent Soul Demon Kings of each family to show up.

Perhaps he was still afraid that Chen Mu would be upset, so he took the time to send a voice message: "Brother Chen, don't worry. Don't look at them sitting together peacefully, as if they have made a life-and-death pact. If they really encounter some precious opportunity in there, you will see whether they can continue to hold on!"

Chen Mu smiled slightly and nodded gently.

Half an hour later, it was almost noon, and the Nascent Soul Demon Kings that everyone had been looking forward to finally made a move.

Suddenly, there was a surge of wind and clouds in the sky above the mountain top, and the nine demon kings of southern Xinjiang and the ancestor of the Tantai clan slowly appeared among them. They were dressed in ancient costumes and had different expressions. As soon as they appeared, everyone stood up and saluted.

"Greetings to the demon kings..."

While paying his respects, Chen Mu took a look around under great pressure and found that among the ten people, the most eye-catching and the one who gave him the most pressure was the blond middle-aged man in the middle.

Every move he makes shows his majesty. He is the current master of Jiusheng Mountain, Yuan Gao!

In addition to him, Chen Mu also looked at the only human cultivator among them, Patriarch Dan Tai.

Patriarch Tantai's realm wasn't as profound as Yuan Gao's, so at this point he already looked old, his energy and spirit being the weakest among the ten. As for the Five Elements Demon King of Xuanzheng Mountain, Hua Meimei's father, he had already met him before arriving...

"Everyone!" Yuan Gao stepped forward and spoke on behalf of the nine demon tribes. No one had any objection to this, because his realm was the highest.

"The Demon Court is the ancestral land of our Southern Border demon clan. However, it has been falling apart since the ancient demonic calamity, and has fallen into this void...

We, the younger generation, are incompetent and unable to restore the former glory of the Demon Court. We only hope that the younger people from all races can find the Demon Cauldron and create a new world!
This is a blessing for us, and for the Southern Border demon race..."

Yuan Gao spoke a story that had been circulating for who knows how long, even though he himself didn't believe that a demonic cauldron existed here...

After a long moment, he finally finished speaking in a deep voice. Then, he changed his tone and said, "Later, I will work together with the other demon kings to penetrate the void and open the entrance to the Demon Court. There will inevitably be turbulent void currents in the passage, so you must be careful at all times until you truly enter the Demon Court..."

Although the turbulence of the void has no specific killing ability, once you are entangled by it, you will always wander in the void until your vitality dissipates and your soul escapes into the abyss.

And because they have not yet formed their Nascent Soul, their souls escape into the void, which symbolizes the death of their bodies and the disappearance of their Tao.

They had all been privately warned by their elders about this matter, so they were not panicked.

Seeing their expressions, Yuan Gao nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Before we part, let me say one more thing. You are all the best of your respective tribes, and we have great hopes for the future."

The battle for the demon court is bound to involve fighting, so you must be aware that you must not take anyone's life. Otherwise, even if you succeed and retreat, you will have a hard time explaining it to the other clans."

As soon as these words came out, many demon kings nodded in approval. They agreed with this statement. Compared with the few opportunities in the demon court, their own heirs were more important...

"We will remember the Demon King's teachings!"

The nineteen people in the group bowed in response, each with a different expression.

Yuan Gao said no more upon seeing this. He turned around and nodded to the other demon kings. Then they all waved their sleeves and each of them summoned an object that emitted a demonic aura. Upon closer inspection, one could vaguely make out that it was an ancient token that had split into nine sections.

With a loud shout, the nine fragments of the token shot out a gray light one after another, straight into the sky!

The next moment, dark clouds suddenly rolled over the originally clear sky, covering the vast mountains.

And within the clouds, a scene quietly appeared...

Chen Mu and the others looked over and were immediately surprised.

The world within was vast and boundless, stretching as far as the eye could see. In the distance, towering peaks rose, and on the mountain ridges were palaces and pavilions. Outskirts of the world, a long river like a jade belt meandered from the north, encircling the mountains...

Chen Mu's heart moved, and he stared at the long river.

Because even through the void, he could still feel the spiritual charm of the long river...
"This river has at least four levels!"

His eyes flashed, and then an endless passion arose in them.

"Children of the tribes, why don't you move?"

Suddenly, Yuan Gao's loud shout brought Chen Mu back to his senses.

He looked up and saw that, since some unknown time, a void passage had quietly appeared amidst the rolling dark clouds...
