Chapter 6038 Demon Suppression Hall
…
After leaving the Jade God Palace, David and Ming Li hid their whereabouts and rushed towards Hanyuan City in the Northern Region.
The two of them moved very quickly, and within a few days, they returned to the snow-covered metropolis.
Hanyuan City remained unchanged, its dark blue-black ice walls gleaming coldly in the sunlight, and its gates heavily guarded.
But this time, David and Ming Li were not interrogated again, because Master Hanyuan had clearly given instructions.
The two of them flew straight to the city and landed in the direction of the city lord’s mansion.
When the guards of the city lord’s mansion saw them, they not only did not stop them, but also bowed respectfully, indicating that Master Hanyuan had given instructions beforehand.
Guided by the servants, David and Ming Li arrived at a quiet room located deep within the city lord’s mansion.
The meditation room was carved from a block of ancient cold jade. The room was extremely cold, but it actually helped cultivators calm their minds and concentrate.
Master Hanyuan was already waiting there. He was still dressed in his ice-blue Daoist robes, his face thin and delicate, but there was a hint of worry between his brows.
Upon seeing David and his friend, he got up to greet them, his expression complicated.
“Daoist Brother Chen, Daoist Brother Mingli, you… have indeed returned.”
Master Hanyuan’s voice sounded a little tired, “Sit down.”
The three of them sat down as host and guest, and a servant served them spirit tea before quietly leaving the room, leaving only the three of them inside.
After setting up several soundproof barriers, True Person Hanyuan looked at David with a serious expression: “Daoist Brother Chen, what you did in the Eastern Region Divine Punishment Hall… has already spread throughout the Thirteen Heavens.”
David remained calm, picked up his teacup and took a sip: “It seems that the announcement of the search for His Majesty the Great has reached the Northern Region.”
“It’s not just because it’s spread.”
Master Hanyuan smiled bitterly, “On the day the wanted notice was issued, an envoy from the Divine Race came to Hanyuan City, ordering me to fully cooperate in capturing the criminals and to thoroughly investigate all cultivators related to the Eastern Region.”
He paused for a moment, then looked at David: “The envoy also specifically mentioned that the criminal might possess a strange gray power, unlike any known cultivation system. Fellow Daoist Chen, you… have gone too far this time.”
Ming Li said in a heavy voice from the side, “Hanyuan City Lord, the God Clan has acted against the order of nature. Since ruling the Thirteen Heavens, they have oppressed all races and extracted the souls of living beings to purify soul crystals. Their sins are extremely heinous. Master Chen’s actions are to free the people from this calamity.”
“I know, I know.”
Master Hanyuan sighed, “I have heard of the actions of the gods. But… they are too powerful.”
“The Central Region’s Great Venerable is at the peak of the eighth rank of the Upper Immortal Realm, with extremely powerful subordinates. There are even rumors that he has connections to a higher realm. Fighting him is like throwing an egg at a rock.”
David put down his teacup and looked directly at Han Yuan Zhenren: “City Lord, I didn’t come here to drag Han Yuan City into this mess. Instead, I came to tell you something to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings between Han Yuan City and Yu Xian Palace.”
“Oh? What’s wrong?” Master Hanyuan’s expression turned serious.
“Yu Wuji, the lord of the Jade God Palace, is actually dissatisfied with the rule of the gods.”
David slowly said, “I’ve reached an agreement with him that the Jade Divine Palace will secretly support the action against the God Clan. Although Yu Wuji didn’t directly participate in the matter of the Divine Punishment Hall, he has given me a favor.”
A glimmer of shock flashed across Han Yuan Zhenren’s eyes: “That old fox Yu Wuji… actually has such courage? Isn’t he afraid that the God Race will level the Jade God Palace?”
“He is afraid, but he does not want to be the dog of the gods forever.”
David said calmly, “Yu Wuji is an ambitious person. He is unwilling to forever submit to others. The greater the oppression of the gods, the deeper the seeds of resistance will be planted.”
Master Hanyuan was silent for a moment and slowly nodded: “I see… No wonder the Jade Immortal Palace has softened its stance towards the other powers in the Eastern Region recently. I thought they were plotting some kind of conspiracy.”
“If what Fellow Daoist Chen said is true, and the Jade Divine Palace is also secretly fighting the God Clan, then I really don’t need to be so wary of them anymore.”
David continued, “Not only that. Yu Wuji’s daughter, Yu Ranran, is now my Daoist companion. For both public and private reasons, I hope that Hanyuan City and Yuxian Palace can coexist peacefully, and even… support each other when necessary.”
“Taoist couple?!”
Master Hanyuan was truly shocked this time. He looked David up and down, “Daoist Brother Chen, you… you don’t even know Yu Wuji’s beloved daughter…”
Ming Li added from the side, “It’s true that Master Chen and Miss Yu love each other. Now Master Chen can be considered half the master of the Yu Xian Residence.”
Master Hanyuan’s expression changed, and after a long time, he sighed, “Daoist Brother Chen, you really… every time we meet, you always give me a surprise, or rather, a shock.”
He stood up and paced back and forth in the quiet room: “If the Jade Divine Palace is truly determined to fight the Divine Race, then the alliance between the Northern Region and the Eastern Region is indeed a force that cannot be ignored.”
“However… the gods are very powerful, so we must be very careful.”
He stopped and looked at David: “Daoist Brother Chen, what are your plans now? The warrant has been issued, and although the Thirteen Heavens are vast, I’m afraid there will be no safe place for you.”
David said, “We are preparing to head to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains in the Western Region.”
“Ten Thousand Demon Mountains in the Western Region?!”
Master Hanyuan’s expression changed drastically. “That place has now become a den of dragons and tigers! The gods are using bloody means to suppress the demon race’s resistance, and the entire Western Region is engulfed in war!”
Ming Li explained, “Master Han Yuan, I sense the aura of the Ghost Clan emanating from the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains in the Western Regions. There might still be some members of my clan active there. We should go there.”
“Ghost Clan…”
Master Hanyuan frowned deeply. “The situation in the Western Regions is complicated now, with gods, demons, and various other races intermingling. There may indeed be traces of supernatural activity. But…”
He looked at David with a serious tone: “Daoist Brother Chen, do you realize how dangerous the situation in the Western Regions is right now?”
“The Demon Conqueror Hall, which was sent by the Divine Race to the Western Region, is led by a Demon Conqueror Venerable at the peak of the seventh rank of the Upper Immortal Realm. Five Demon Kings have joined its ranks, and tens of thousands of troops are currently surrounding the demon race’s resistance forces.”
“The demon race, led by the ‘Golden-Winged Roc King,’ the ‘Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox,’ and the ‘Mountain-Moving Giant Ape,’ had once gathered a force of 100,000 to rebel, but now they suffered repeated defeats and heavy casualties.”
“The Golden-Winged Roc King escaped with severe injuries, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox was trapped, and the Mountain-Moving Giant Ape was successfully subdued. The remnants of the demon race resistance force were besieged within the Heavenly Demon Valley, barely losing their lives.”
Master Hanyuan walked to the wall, his finger tracing the cold jade surface, where the freezing air condensed to form a simple map: “This is the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, and this is the Heavenly Demon Valley. The divine army has surrounded it from five directions, setting up the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon Sealing Formation, leaving the remnants of the demon race with no way out.”
He turned to David and said, “If you leave now, you’ll be walking into a trap. The God Race is more vigilant in the Western Region than in the Eastern Region. Besides, you’re a fugitive, and if you’re discovered, you’ll definitely die.”
