Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

Chang Wen has many doubts about this matter.

However, he possessed god-like comprehension and quickly deduced the entire plan's ins and outs from the red-robed elder's few words.

It's roughly like this:

The demons have been planning for over five hundred years to destroy the site of the Demon Suppression Ceremony, preventing the human race from ever holding such ceremonies again.

Their method was to set up a large array around the site of the demon-suppressing ceremony, capable of destroying the ceremony itself.

The formation has three key points.

A sufficient number of demonized disciples need to be sent in in order to activate the array's core.

This is why the demon race's higher-ups planned the number of demonized beings for the lower-level members.

It's not just to expand the base of desire, but also to activate the core of the great array.

Once the array's core is activated, all the people of the Northern Wilderness who go to the demon-suppressing ceremony site will face the array's annihilation.

The consequences will be extremely serious!

The most important thing...

There's also a great demon who's come all the way from the Imperial Continent!

What level of power does the Great Demon possess?

unknown.

But Chang Wen realized that things were very serious.

This Demon-Suppressing Platform was far more dangerous than he had anticipated.

But now is clearly not the time to talk about these things.

The most urgent task is to find out the demons' counter-suppression plan and find a way to destroy it. We must not let the more than 30,000 disciples of the Haoran Immortal Sect perish here.

With this in mind, Chang Wen began to engage with the old man in the red robe again, trying to extract information from him.

a long time.

Chang Wen now knows more information.

After corrupting three thousand Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, they were to report back to the base where the higher-ups were located.

The old man in the red robe was unaware of the specific details.

Chang Wen guessed that the demon race's higher-ups would gather these demonized people together and take them to the three array points.

Thinking of this, Chang Wen couldn't help but feel a chill.

Try to analyze:

Judging from the fact that the Demon Clan's higher-ups assigned a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator to lead ten Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to corrupt three thousand Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, it's clear that the Demon Clan's manpower is insufficient.

In other words, most of the demons received this mission.

Ultimately, it was proven that the number of demonized disciples required to activate the array's core was an astronomical figure of immense scale.

After drawing the conclusion, Chang Wen couldn't help but feel a lingering sense of fear.

If there are disciples of the Haoran Immortal Sect here, wouldn't it be ruined?

That being said...

Fortunately, he obtained this information as soon as he entered the Demon Suppression Platform, giving him ample time to prepare and plan his next move.

"My primary task right now is not to stop these demonic cultivators from corrupting others."

"What I should do is find the three array points set up by the demons as quickly as possible and see what the situation is."

With that thought, he looked at the old man in the red robe and said, "Take me to see your direct superior."

He had already asked the latter, who didn't know where the array's core was. Clearly, this was the demon race's true secret.

After a brief analysis, Chang Wen decided to go directly to the higher-ups of the Demon Clan.

The fastest way to find the core of the formation is to trace it back through the demon race's high-ranking officials. There is no faster way.

However, this has a drawback.

He also carries the [foundation stone] of the Vast Immortal Sect!

Before entering the Demon Suppression Platform, Lin Baoding's original words were that everyone's first task upon entering the platform was to quickly assemble at the [Foundation Stone]...

If he enters the location of the Demon Clan's high-ranking officials, and then the disciples of the Vast Immortal Sect happen to come looking for him...

Isn't that kind of awkward...?

"Hmm... what should we do?"

Chang Wen was in a dilemma. Was he really going to leave the "foundation" here?

"That's the only way."

Chang Wen made a decision to prepare to bury the "foundation" somewhere here.

But just as he was thinking this, he suddenly sensed several familiar auras rushing toward him from the end of his divine sense.

It was Ye Qingliu and several other disciples of the Haoran Immortal Sect.

Chang Wen...

No, what a coincidence!

I'm about to take care of something important...

However, Chang Wen quickly shut down the sight and hearing of all eleven people before switching back to human mode.

whoosh-

A whooshing sound came from the air.

Ye Qingliu, along with five others including Fang Zheng, landed not far from Chang Wen.

Ye Qingliu is now at the Mahayana Realm, and his travel speed is unmatched by others. He arrived in a very short time and met Fang Zheng and his group of five along the way, so he gave them a ride as well.

"Senior Brother!"

Fang Zheng's eyes lit up with surprise when he saw Chang Wen.

In such a gloomy and eerie place, the sense of redemption that Chang Wen felt was something that only the disciples of Haoran Peak could truly understand.

Someone asked, "Isn't Ye Qingliu right next to you?"

Fang Zheng: How can that be the same!

Even though Ye Qingliu has already entered the Mahayana realm, it is not as reassuring as seeing Chang Wen.

"You came very quickly."

As Chang Wen spoke, he took out the [Foundation Stone] and handed it to Ye Qingliu, saying, "Here, take this. I'm going to take care of something. You guys wait here for me to come back."

"Did you... discover something?"

Ye Qingliu noticed the demons beside him whose sight and hearing were blocked, and asked them a question.

"...There's no time to say more, just do as I say."

After handing the foundation stone to Ye Qingliu, Chang Wen took all eleven demons with him, leaving Ye Qingliu and the others stunned in place.

Fang Zheng and the others, in particular, looked very reluctant to part with him.

Why are you leaving so soon after arriving, Senior Brother? We feel so unsafe without you...

"Take these and don't wander off. I'll go help him."

Ye Qingliu handed the foundation stone to Fang Zheng and chased after him without saying a word.

Fang Zheng and his group...

Senior Sister, we didn't mean to look down on you, so why did you leave too?

We were all alone in this awful place, and we were terrified...

"Let's go, let's find a place to hide first, and then show ourselves when our disciples arrive..."

"Let's go, let's go..."

The five members of Fangzheng quickly reached a consensus and found a place to hide.

……

Above a certain place.

Just as Chang Wen was about to find a place to drop off the eleven red-robed elders, he noticed Ye Qingliu catching up.

And she arrived at his side at an extremely fast speed.

Chang Wen...

"Didn't I tell you to wait there?"

Chang Wen had no choice but to stop in mid-air and discuss it with Ye Qingliu.

"You are now the spiritual pillar of the Haoran Immortal Sect, and I cannot allow you to make the slightest mistake."

Ye Qingliu said seriously, "Don't worry, I won't question what you do, nor will I reveal any secrets about you. I'll just be there to ensure your safety."

Chang Wen...

"The place I'm going to next, I'll have to go by myself."

Chang Wen helplessly tried to persuade him, "Besides, I'm very capable now, I don't need protection."

After saying that, he immediately released the aura of a peak Tribulation Transcending expert.

Ye Qingliu blinked, a look of surprise flashing across her eyes. Chang Wen had already reached the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm? When did that happen?

Is it really that effective to be beaten up by all my senior uncles every day?

"Now you can go back without worry, right?"

Chang Wen inquired, thinking this time it should be a sure thing. Who would have thought…

"no."

Ye Qingliu's tone was calm and unequivocal: "I will guarantee your absolute safety."

Chang Wen… “You mean he won’t leave no matter what we say, is that what you mean?”

Ye Qingliu remained expressionless, then nodded.

Chang Wen...

This increases the difficulty of the matter many times over...

Imagine.

If he wants to gather information from the higher-ups of the demon race, he will definitely have to become a demon himself.

The matter was originally decided so pleasantly, but now Ye Qingliu has suddenly appeared out of nowhere...

Are you suggesting we let him become a demonic cultivator in front of Ye Qingliu...?

...That's not appropriate.
