Chapter 1414 - 1170: Atop Red Sun Cliff
Chapter 1414: Chapter 1170: Atop Red Sun Cliff
Su Yuan used Infinite Instant Teleportation and arrived in front of Red Sun Cliff in less than half a day.
Amidst the crisscrossing branches of the Glazed Jade Branch, Hua Tiandu stood beside Su Yuan and said, "This is Red Sun Cliff, reputed to be the place closest to the sun on Blue Sea Star."
Su Yuan and Hua Tiandu looked ahead. Among the myriad hills and mountains stood a towering Yellow Stone Peak, rising steeply to the clouds, as if it were a pillar touching the heavens.
However, for over a thousand years, Red Sun Cliff has been basking in glaring sunlight and soaring Yang Qi, but now it was shrouded in dark clouds, flashing with thunder and lightning, starting from halfway up, engulfed in a rolling black cloud of Star Power gathered by the Demon Army.
Su Yuan slowly said, "The dark clouds cover the sky, shrouding a thousand miles. It seems there are quite a few formidable Demon Kings among the Grey Realm army surrounding Red Sun Cliff."
Hua Tiandu’s expression was solemn. After pondering for a moment, he said to Su Yuan, "If things go awry, leave as you must, but please allow me to act as I see fit this time!"
Su Yuan said nothing, flipping a red talisman between his fingers, with the previously dormant red Sword Seal on it flickering with fire, pointing straight at Red Sun Cliff.
Hua Tiandu’s expression shifted slightly, "Is that... Niu Sword Master?"
Su Yuan nodded slightly and said, "With this, I can’t just sit back."
Niu Fen initially came for the True Yang Sect. Although he didn’t witness the destruction of True Yang Sect’s mountain gate, he was caught in the aftermath of the battle.
Silver light flickered in Su Yuan’s eyes, revealing his use of the Thousand-Mile Eye to try and penetrate the black cloud blockade and survey the situation atop Red Sun Cliff. However, he quickly sensed a barrier-like energy isolating his investigation.
It wasn’t an advanced isolation method, but supported by the boundless Star Power of the entire Demon Army, forcing a breakthrough would surely draw attention.
It seems that although the Grey Realm had waged wars for countless years, they lacked expertise in array barriers, yet did not lack regular battle preparations.
Su Yuan shifted his focus instantly.
Seeing this, Hua Tiandu asked, "Fellow Daoist, what is the situation?"
Su Yuan replied, "Difficult to discern."
With the situation unclear, Su Yuan was hesitant to charge in recklessly.
If there were several High Stage King Levels present, even with Su Yuan’s greatly enhanced strength, they would be difficult to deal with.
Even though Su Yuan possessed Unlimited Freedom, unafraid of the crowd of demons, he would still end up alerting the enemy and missing the chance to strike first.
Hua Tiandu’s brow furrowed, "Then what should we do?"
Previously, Su Yuan indeed had no good method, but now...
"Don’t worry, there’s this treasure." Su Yuan shook his long sleeve, and a simple copper mirror floated before him amidst a flash of green light.
Hua Tiandu’s eyes lit up, "The Demon Capturing Mirror!"
Having followed Su Yuan, Hua Tiandu knew well the wondrous use of this treasure.
When they just arrived on the Southern Continent, it could roughly capture the presence of all the Grey Realm Demon Beasts across the Southern Continent. Now, being this close, it’s naturally easy to probe how many demon beasts are atop Red Sun Cliff!
Su Yuan formed a Seal Technique and pointed at the Demon Revealing Mirror, green light swirling upon it and shining into the void. In just a moment, blurry figures with deep presences appeared on the mirror’s surface...
The strongest among them was a woman with a face like frost and an elegant posture, briefly flickering before transforming into a figure of extreme cold ice essence.
According to the Demon Revealing Mirror’s estimate, her cultivation reached the Eighth Stage!
Behind her were two Seventh Stage Demon Kings.
One was a roughly nine-foot-tall rough-looking man with purple hair and a blue beard, wielding a Wind and Thunder Cone, his true form being an essence of intertwined Purple Fire and Green Wind.
The other had a scholarly appearance, dressed in a black robe, his true form resembling boundless dark clouds turning overcast...
Besides them, there were eleven more mid and low-stage Demon Kings, fourteen Demon Kings in total!
A moment later, Su Yuan put away the Demon Revealing Mirror, his eyes showing a thoughtful look, and Hua Tiandu beside him didn’t look too happy.
"The number of King Levels isn’t below two hands, and there are as many as three High Stage Demon Kings..."
Unexpectedly, the Chaotic Imperial Court left so many forces here, but correspondingly, there’s likely still a certain number of human experts atop Red Sun Cliff; otherwise, they certainly couldn’t have resisted for so long.
It’s just unknown what the situation atop Red Sun Cliff is like, how many Spirit Venerables are there, and what’s the state of the injuries?
Su Yuan asked, "Friend Hua, do you have any secret technique to communicate with the experts of the True Yang Sect?"
Hua Tiandu shook his head slightly, "Our True Yang Sect is proficient in combat skills, but quite lacking in secret techniques in this aspect."
Su Yuan merely asked casually; if Hua Tiandu did have a way, he would have used it as soon as he came.
If that’s the case, they would have to rely on Ruan Ruan to conceal their aura and see if they could approach and investigate.
Su Yuan was about to move when Ashley’s voice rang in his mind.
"Boss, please wait a moment."
Su Yuan’s eyes flickered slightly, nodding, then waited in place with Hua Tiandu...
Above Red Sun Cliff, fourteen Transformed Demon Kings stood in the void, behind them were thousands of chaotic imperial court demon beasts such as Tree Spirits, Water Monsters, Stone Men.
The fourteen Demon Kings sat poised in the void, gathering the strength of the entire Demon Army to transform it into powers like wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, striking at Red Sun Cliff.
However, the entire peak of Red Sun Cliff was shrouded in an extremely dazzling shield of Red Flame Fire, with a Golden Dragon phantom and Divine Fire burning all the attacks from the fourteen Demon Kings and thousands of demon beast army to ashes!
This is one of True Yang Sect’s four Holy Artifacts—the Nine Dragon Fire Shield!
At this moment, inside the Nine Dragon Fire Shield, a thousand human cultivators were pooling their mana to support this treasure, most of whom were True Yang Sect cultivators clad in Sun Ring Daoist Robes, but it also included cultivators from nearby sects like Yanxing Mountain and some Loose Cultivators.
Among the four King Levels of the True Yang Sect, the leading one with white hair and a red beard, commanding without anger, was the Left Protector of the True Yang Sect, Hua Tiandu’s master—Master Yunhua.
