Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

The situation changed so quickly that hundreds of millions of cultivators in the Northern Wilderness were stunned.

A long time passed before someone finally realized what was happening.

"I was short-sighted and wronged Fellow Daoist Chang Wen!"

Someone clasped their hands in apology towards the direction of the Haoran Immortal Sect.

The truth is indeed as the disciples of the Haoran Immortal Sect said; Chang Wen must have been shining brightly in ways they were unaware of.

Otherwise, the world-destroying demonic array that had just caused such an apocalyptic catastrophe would not have vanished into thin air.

Upon realizing this, a chain reaction was triggered. Countless cultivators from the Northern Wilderness clasped their hands in apology to the Haoran Immortal Sect.

After the apology came the worry.

Will Chang Wen be able to enter the Demon-Suppressing Peak despite the three demons' obstruction?

Such a brilliant and talented person, is he going to perish in such a place?

Amidst widespread anxiety.

The Taixu Sword Sect camp was completely silent.

The fact that the cultivators of the Northern Wilderness apologized to the Haoran Immortal Sect only made them seem even more ridiculous.

In the center of the camp.

Taiyi felt a mix of emotions, a thousand thoughts surging within him, but in the end, only indifference remained.

"madness."

In his eyes, Chang Wen's obstruction of the formation was nothing more than a useless act of womanly compassion.

Cultivators who seek the Dao are already defying the heavens; they should prioritize their own path, while the safety of all living beings and the lives of others are but fleeting illusions.

If it were him, he would never have spent two months risking his life to fight the demons alone.

"I hope you can come back alive, otherwise this Demon Suppression Ceremony will be too boring after a hundred victories."

Once the thought settled, he stopped paying attention to anything else in the room and quietly waited for time to pass.

The direction of the Haoran Immortal Sect.

The overall atmosphere was not enthusiastic.

Only they understood that Chang Wen's actions were not for the greater good of the people, nor were they an attempt to play the hero. Rather, they were to ensure their safe passage out of the country.

So Easy.

"Senior Brother..."

Fang Zheng and the others murmured to themselves.

Chu Xinghe and Shen Nianqing both frowned slightly.

Clearly, even they find the current crisis extremely difficult to handle.

Even with their extraordinary abilities, they could not bridge the enormous gap between themselves and the pinnacle of Mahayana Buddhism.

Quan Zhenzi, Jian Jiuxiao, Shen Changfeng, and other core disciples also frowned, feeling utterly powerless.

What should they do next?

Looking at the three great demons standing in the sky, everything seemed so pale and powerless.

Ye Qingliu also felt immense pressure.

He wanted to send a message to Chang Wen to tell him what had happened here, but he was intercepted by the three great demons...

We had no choice but to give up.

The only option now is to wait until the demon-suppressing ceremony is over before letting Lin Baoding and his group get involved.

Hopefully, Chang Wen can hold on until then.

Thinking of this, she gazed at the horizon and prayed that Chang Wen would not return.

……

What was Chang Wen, the person involved, doing?

After destroying the array's core, he intended to find a place to hide, but unexpectedly, Zhou Qing came looking for him.

Before he could speak, Zhou Qing had already prepared a table and chairs, as well as fine wine and food.

The two brothers sat down facing each other again. Silence remained for a long time.

"Why don't you run?"

After taking a sip of wine and remaining silent for a long time, Zhou Qing spoke softly.

"You said before that if you wanted to kill me, I wouldn't have any chance to fight back. In that case, why should I run?"

Chang Wen replied as usual, "Besides, I ruined your clan's five-hundred-year plan, you will definitely hunt me down. Even if I run, where can I run to?"

"Should I say you're wise, or unwise?"

Zhou Qing seemed to smile.

"It's not about whether it was wise or not; I just did what I wanted to do and protected the people I wanted to protect. As for the consequences, I will bear them myself."

Chang Wen's tone remained unchanged, indicating no regret.

After he finished speaking, the room fell into a long silence.

"What if I were to kill you now, or plant a seed of desire within you?"

After a long pause, Zhou Qing spoke again, making the atmosphere in the room subtle.

"You won't."

Chang Wen looked up at Zhou Qing and said, "If you really wanted to do this, I wouldn't have been able to destroy the array's core, much less sit here drinking with you."

Zhou Qing moved her head slightly and looked at Chang Wen. Surprise was barely concealed in her eyes beneath the mask.

After a while, Zhou Qing lowered his head, took a sip of wine, and asked, "Where is that seed of desire?"

"Let nature take its course."

Chang Wen remained calm. Since he possessed both human and demonic powers, he wasn't afraid of anything.

If Zhou Qingzhen planted the seed of desire in him, he would turn the tables on her, first pretending to join the demon clan, and then finding a chance to escape.

Not flustered at all.

"Haha, what a wonderful 'let nature take its course' statement."

Zhou Qing suddenly smiled, "Then... good luck!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the obese demon slowly appeared behind him.

After standing still, the obese demon first glanced at Chang Wen, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent.

But he didn't react; instead, he simply waved his hand, creating a video screen.

The content displayed on the screen was exactly what had just happened at Zhenmo Peak.

Seeing the three great demons guarding the entrance to the formation, Chang Wen felt a chill run down his spine. He had come here without incident, but now it seemed there was no way back…

What should we do? Could it be... to use the Immortal-Slaying Sword?

When that time comes, this will be the only way.

However, things didn't seem to turn out quite as he had expected.

"Come with me."

The obese demon turned off the screen and spoke calmly.

"Huh? Let's go?"

Chang Wen asked, puzzled, "Where are you going?"

"Naturally, we'll send you back to Zhenmo Peak."

The obese demon snorted coldly, his meaning enigmatic.

"Send me back to Demon-Suppressing Peak?"

Chang Wen was a little confused and began to think about the ins and outs of the matter.

He ruined the demon race's five-hundred-year-old plan, shouldn't the demon race kill him? Why are they sending him back to Demon Suppression Peak instead?

and many more!

If the cultivators of the Northern Wilderness saw him, what would they think after the obese demon envoy sent him back to the Demon Suppression Peak?

They'll definitely think he's colluding with the demons!

Thinking this through, Chang Wen looked at the obese demon envoy and instantly understood his intentions. This was clearly a scheme to use someone else to do his dirty work!

If this really happens, not only will the cultivators of the Northern Wilderness be hostile to him, but even the disciples of the Haoran Immortal Sect will likely create a rift between them!

At that point, he will have no choice but to join the demon race!

What a vicious scheme!

"What? You saw through me?"

Seeing Chang Wen's slightly furrowed brows, the obese demon envoy made no attempt to conceal his purpose. "Boy, I won't waste my breath on you. If you agree to join the demon race now, then considering your promising future... we can forgive your actions that disrupted our race's grand plan."

"But if you come to join our race because you have no other choice, the treatment will be very different."

"Think it through carefully."

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent once again.

Chang Wen stood there, stunned, waiting for Zhou Qing to give his opinion.

Zhou Qing, however, remained silent for a long time.

Chang Wen instantly understood its meaning.

This is the limit of what it can achieve.

If it weren't for Zhou Qing, he would probably have already had the seeds of lust planted in his heart, and the consequences would have been far more serious.

With that thought, he looked at the obese demon messenger and said, "I'll go with you."

No matter what, we must get out of the Demon Suppression Platform first.
