Chapter 506 – The Other Squad

Within the camp, Zhao Qianyun opened his eyes. He looked deep into the darkness, his pupils shaking.

A moment ago…the fluctuations of world strength had already been astonishing. But, what left him in even greater disbelief was that Zuo Lanyue who had erupted with that world strength had actually died.

Indeed, his original feelings hadn’t been wrong. This Yao Bin, he really was someone that kept himself deeply hidden.

Thinking about how Xu Guzi and the others had chosen him to be their chess piece, a mocking look flashed in his eyes.

After a moment of thought, he closed his eyes. He casually pointed his finger behind him and a shadow flashed across the ground before disappearing.

The fluctuations of world strength were enough to cause all the demon beasts prowling the night to retreat in fear. Thus, amongst the ashes, everything was strangely peaceful.

Qin Yu chose a place. After making some small arrangements he prepared to sit down. But then his eyebrows furrowed together.

He turned around and saw a shadow creeping across the ground. The shadow emerged and stood up, presenting the outline of a tall and straight figure.

The face of the shadow was blurry and couldn’t be clearly seen. But, the imposing aura that seemed to tear apart the surrounding air was unmistakable.

“Scion Zhao.”

The shadow cupped its hands together. “Fellow daoist Yao.”

Qin Yu took a deep breath. “Since Scion Zhao came here, are you planning to take revenge for Zuo Lanyue?”

Zhao Qianyuan lightly said, “I didn’t have such friendship with fellow daoist Zuo.” He paused and continued, “The reason I came here today is because I would like to propose cooperating with fellow daoist Yao.”

Qin Yu’s expression eased up. “You already have so many formidable companions, right?”

Zhao Qianyuan replied, “They might not be weak, but their sight is aimed too high. They overestimate themselves and underestimate others. They aren’t the only smart people in this small world. If we can think of something, why can’t others? Hunting down the ancient tree monster…this probably won’t proceed as smoothly as they hope. Since fellow daoist Yao is staying here, that means you naturally hope to obtain some harvests. If you and I join together, our chances will be much higher!”

Qin Yu said, “And why should I believe you?”

Zhao Qianyuan said, “Fellow daoist Yao doesn’t need to believe me. With your strength, you can deal with everything yourself. I have no need for you to give me a pledge either. I just ask that you judge the correct moment for yourself and take action when the opportunity presents itself.”

Qin Yu was silent for several breaths of time. He nodded, “Alright, I agree.”

Zhao Qianyuan cupped his hands together, “Like I said just now, hunting down the ancient tree monster won’t be easy. I have a premonition that great waves will be coming. Fellow daoist Yao should be careful.”

His figure dissolved into shadows, melting into the ground and soon vanishing into the endless dark night.

Qin Yu had a thoughtful look. A sharp light shimmered in his eyes.

…

Below the ancient tree monster, the Sage stood up and looked into the distance. His face shook a little as he spoke with admiration.

“It’s hard to imagine that besides Zhao Qianyuan, there is also another proud son of heaven within the demonic path.

“Why do the heavens favor the demonic path so heavily and yet be so cruel to my monster race lineage?”

The Sage shook his head and lightly sighed, his unwillingness fading into helplessness. “Hah, where is there true fairness between the heavens and earth? Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been pushed to this step today.

“This plan was difficult to bring to fruition. Killing Zhao Qianyuan is a must, but we will count this person too and eliminate them both together.”

He turned around and lightly patted the tree trunk. “Lord Monster Emperor, with these two proud sons of the demonic path as sacrifices, you really might be able to complete your rebirth. I truly am looking forward to that with anticipation.”

At this time, the Sage frowned. He looked up at the heavens. After staring at the skies for several breaths of time, he revealed a happy expression.

“So you finally realized something is wrong? But, it is already too late. My enemies in the Demonic Path, please accept the gift this old man gives to you.”

…

Heavenly Demon City.

Four figures stood up side by side. Their complexions were pale. As they looked at the vortex swirling above their heads, their gazes were filled with fury and their eyes with killing intent.

An invisible aura swept out on all sides like waves. Winds and clouds changed colors and cracks frequently appeared in the skies.

This was because due to the opening of the Demon Ascension Gate, four Calamity Immortal realm experts had gathered in this small Heavenly Demon City. And now, they were all here.

Starting from several days ago, no more demonic path disciples emerged from the small world. At first, this matter didn’t arouse any interest.

No one knew what the exact situation within the small world was like. In addition, ever since the Demon Ascension Gate had been established countless years ago, there had never been a single accident that occurred, thus no one thought strangely of this.

But when more and more days passed, this matter was finally reported up through the ranks. The Calamity Immortal realm experts tried to probe what was happening in the small world, but they discovered that it had been sealed away from the outside. By that point, too much time had passed.

What who had dared to interfere with the grand event of the Demonic Path’s Demon Ascension Gate?

They thought about how almost every outstanding disciple of the younger generation was gathered in the small world. Then, deep killing intent rose up in the hearts of the four Calamity Immortal realm existences and they wished they could tear apart the world.

“The small world has been closed up and none of us are able to open it. We must immediately ask for an almighty being to come and forcefully open it!”

“Pass down orders. Seal up the entirety of Heavenly Demon City. Not a single person is allowed to enter or leave!”

“Summon every
