Chapter 349: They Are Here (1)
Hu! Hu! Hu!
In the sky, large masses of white clouds scattered under the impact of the majestic aura.
The originally sunny sky seemed like the stirred-up surface of a lake. It grew restless.
As for the range affected, it was unknown how many thousand miles it was.
In other words, more than half of the Yu Nation was affected.
Ordinary people who were watching the show thought that it was a natural phenomenon and that something major had happened.
What exactly was it? It was too far away. Although they were curious, they did not take it to heart.
However, almost all martial artists, especially martial artists in the top ranks, sensed a terrifying aura suddenly appear in the world.
This aura gave them a strong sense of danger. The more they released their Martial Art True Intent, the more alarmed they became.
As Transcendent-grade martial artists, Su Jingxing and He Sanxiao were the most sensitive to this aura.
As soon as it erupted, they sensed its general location and discovered the hidden threat.
“Something has happened in the southwest!”
Su Jingxing’s heart raced. Without any hesitation, he leaped into the air and rushed southwest.
“Brother Kong, I’ll come with you.” He Sanxiao quickly followed.
Although the physical body of a Martial Sage could not travel through space, it could still move at several times the speed of sound by circulating worldly energy to envelop its body.
On the other hand, He Sanxiao’s Spiritual Pet, a massive white crane standing in the square, could not keep up with the speed and fell behind.
Su Jingxing and He Sanxiao disappeared one after another into the horizon, while the giant white crane slowly followed.
Crossing half of the Yu Nation, Su Jingxing and He Sanxiao arrived at the place where the terrifying aura erupted.
Dongting Mountain.
That’s right, it was the location of the Celestial Pole Sect, Dongting Mountain.
When Su Jingxing and He Sanxiao arrived above Dongting Mountain, the protective array formation of the Celestial Pole Sect had already been activated.
A huge light barrier enveloped the huge mountain, blocking the way in and out.
Inside the array formation, at the back mountain of Dongting Mountain, the surging aura was still continuing like a wave. Ripples appeared in the air as it crashed into the defensive array formation, causing the light barrier to tremble continuously.
“Wu Qifen, open the entrance of the array formation.”
Su Jingxing stood in the sky and shouted.
A special sound wave spread through the sky and ground. Everyone inside and outside Dongting Mountain heard it.
“Who is it? Who’s shouting? He’s actually shouting the Sect Master’s name?”
“That’s right. Who’s looking for the Sect Master at this time?”
“Everyone, look at the sky!”
…
Accompanied by a cry of surprise, everyone wrapped up in the tense atmosphere on the Dongting Mountain looked up at the sky.
In their field of vision, two especially dazzling lights caused everyone to subconsciously close their eyes.
“It’s the Martial Sage!”
“The Kingdom Defending Martial Sage is here!”
Someone recalled that he had seen a similar ball of light before and immediately exclaimed in surprise.
“Yes, yes, he is indeed the Kingdom Defending Martial Sage.”
“That’s great! The Martial Sage came so quickly.”
“Of course. Otherwise, how could he be a Martial Sage?”
…
On Dongting Mountain, the crowd cheered excitedly.
As they let out exclamations, a hole opened in the huge defensive array formation.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Su Jingxing and He Sanxiao quickly passed through the opening and entered.
After the two of them entered the array formation, the defensive array formation quickly closed and continued to envelop the mountain.
“Greetings, Martial Sage!”
“Greetings, Martial Sage!”
The upper echelons of the Celestial Pole Sect rushed out from all directions and bowed respectfully to Su Jingxing.
Sect Master Wu Qifen was even more excited. He said happily, “Greetings, Martial Sage. You…”
“Cut the crap. What happened just now?”
Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul, who was wearing the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor, did not need to hide his body. It revealed the bone armor and interrupted with a wave of its hand, “Is there something wrong with the Demon’s Den in the back mountain?”
“Yes, the Demon’s Den suddenly became restless just now.”
Seeing this, Wu Qifen quickly got to the point. “Without any warning, the demonic energy underground surged all of a sudden. The array formation at the entrance is about to give in soon.”
“The Demon’s Den?” interjected He Sanxiao with a smile. “Is it the underground cave where the Ancient Demons once hid?”
“And this is?” Wu Qifen sized up He Sanxiao curiously.
“He Sanxiao, independent Martial Sage. You can call him Mr. He,” Su Jingxing replied. “Come, let’s go to the back mountain to take a look.”
“…This way, this way please.” The corners of Wu Qifen’s lips twitched as he smiled awkwardly at He Sanxiao.
Martial Sage!
An independent Martial Sage at that!
Such an existence had actually come to Dongting Mountain. If Su Jingxing wasn’t beside him, Wu Qifen would have run away.
Martial Sages were powerful to begin with, and independent Martial Sages were almost invincible.
The Kingdom Defending Martial Sage needed to protect the dynasty. When he made a move, he often had scruples and would not offend people too badly. Of course, if he really wanted to make a move, he would have to completely kill the target.
There was no need for independent Martial Sages to worry about anything else.
This gave them a lot of freedom. Once they targeted an opponent, as long as they were not killed, no one could withstand the destruction through day and night.
As such, Wu Qifen was all smiles. Deep down, he was filled with wariness towards He Sanxiao.
He also admired Su Jingxing.
As expected, the friends of a Martial Sage were extraordinary.
However, at the same time, Wu Qifen was overjoyed.
It was already surprising that Su Jingxing had rushed over so quickly. Now that there was another Martial Sage, their chances of suppressing the Demon’s Den had undoubtedly increased!
…
The group quickly arrived at the back mountain and entered the cave.
It was He Sanxiao’s first time here, but his perception was very sharp. As soon as he entered the cave, he discovered that a terrifying aura was constantly spreading from inside.
“The demonic energy leaked?” asked He Sanxiao, frowning.
“Not yet,” answered Wu Qifen. “But judging from the current situation, it’ll happen soon.
“Everything was fine but the Demon’s Den suddenly became unstable and shook violently. According to the Supreme Elder guarding the entrance, the demonic energy was fine before. Nothing happened.
