Chapter 245 - The White-Clothed Youth
Chapter 245: The White-Clothed Youth
“Hahaha!”
Facing everyone’s puzzled gazes, Zhuang Changhe laughed out loud.
“It’s not that I deliberately deceived everyone. That Demon King did indeed descend onto the Eastern Wastelands. However, he was killed in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!”
“Perhaps because the Demon King was already dead, those half-demon people who were causing trouble all over the Eastern Wastelands also disappeared.”
After carefully digesting Zhuang Changhe’s words, everyone present frowned.
According to Zhuang Changhe’s words, combined with the strange things caused by the appearance of the blood moon, it made some sense.
However, he was talking about a Demon King who had ascended to the ninth rank! Who had the ability to kill him in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn? Could it be that some old monster had made a move?
Old Man Yan seemed to have thought of something, and a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in his chaotic eyes.
“You’re saying that the Demon King might have been killed by the Son of Fate?”
“That’s right!”
Zhuang Changhe could not help but look up to the old Daoist when he heard this.
This seemingly weak old Daoist was not simple. He could guess the result just from a few words from his mouth!
It was better to provoke a fierce tiger in the mountains than to bully Old Man Yan. A fierce tiger could still be killed when it came out of the mountains, and the old man would be buried in the yellow springs in anger.
This Old Man Yan was just as the rumors said. He was not easy to fool.
Following that, under Zhuang Changhe’s narration, everyone finally knew what had happened.
It was rare that no one refuted what Old Sword Monster saw.
Not to mention anything else, with old monster sword’s identity, since he had seen it with his own eyes, there was naturally no need to be suspicious.
Of course, the news about the Son of Fate was not over yet.
Soon after, Zhuang Changhe also revealed the exact location of the Son of Fate.
Although he did not say it directly, everyone understood what he meant through his obscure words.
The Son of Fate was actually in the hands of the Mysterious Heavenly Sword Sect!
Regarding this news, the crowd could not help but cause a small commotion.
One had to know that the Son of Fate would play an extremely important role in the future. Not only for the sect, but also for the entire Eastern Wastelands, it was an important strategic resource.
Although it had been thousands of years since the demon race was born, after the so-called half-demon attack last time, everyone knew that the situation was not very optimistic.
Therefore, to receive news of the son of fate at this time was tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow.
What a pity!
The one who discovered the Son of Fate was the Mysterious Sky Sword Sect. If it was their sect, that would be great!
Since things had come to this, they could only listen to Zhuang Changhe’s intentions.
Unexpectedly, Zhuang Changhe did not make any requests. Instead, it was as if he was only giving them information out of goodwill.
After he finished speaking, he quietly sipped his tea, looking very calm.
“Eh?”
The higher-ups of the various sects were listening when Zhuang Changhe suddenly stopped. Everyone could not help but frown.
The Mysterious Sky Sword Sect was forcing them to declare their stance!
When they were defending against the demon race last time, because the various sects were bewitched by the Heartless Daoist, not only did they not lend a hand in time, they even gathered a group of people to attack the Mysterious Sky Sword Sect.
How could this old fox Zhuang Changhe be so forgetful.
After clearing himself up at today’s trial conference and establishing a certain level of reputation, he could be considered to have left the main forces of the few great sects behind and then spread the news of the Son of Fate…
Wasn’t all of this to force everyone to come out and express their stance?
It seemed that the Mysterious Heavenly Sword Sect might have said that Zhuang Changhe was still brooding over what happened last time!
But what else could they say? It was all because they had not rubbed their eyes and mistakenly believed the villain, which led to the current situation.
Thinking of this, everyone could not help but feel a trace of guilt in their hearts.
“Fellow Daoist Zhuang, it was my fault for coming to the clear water sect previously. I, Yin Yijun, am here to apologize to your sect. We are all members of the Eastern Wastelands, and there will inevitably be an opportunity to join hands to deal with the demon race. I hope that your sect can forget about the past and attack the demon army that invaded the Eastern Wastelands together.”
“That’s right, that’s right. The Blackheaven Sword Sect’s reputation was tarnished by the mistake of trusting a traitor. We are also here to apologize to your sect.”
Since he had realized his mistake, Yin Yijun naturally did not want to avoid it, so he simply took this opportunity to express his apology. After he finished speaking, the other sects also followed closely behind.
Without a doubt, Zhuang Changhe’s goal had been achieved.
However, this was not his final goal.
The key was still the follow-up development. Perhaps only when the demon race descended upon the Eastern Wastelands could the backup plan he had laid out be used.
“Haha, fellow Daoists, it’s too serious. This matter can not be blamed on you. It’s just that the demon race is too cunning.”
“Let’s not talk about anything else. Even if our Mysterious Sky Sword Sect were to encounter such a matter, we might do something even more outrageous. Therefore, I can understand your feelings.”
After saying a few simple words, Zhuang Changhe acted courteously and righteously, causing the expressions of the representatives of the various sects present to soften.
“Alright, the Demon God Sect is about to be born. Fellow Daoists, as the Sect Masters of the various sects, you must have many things to arrange next.”
“I won’t waste your time. Please go ahead!”
After a short period of silence, the higher-ups of the various sects could not help but look at Zhuang Changhe in disbelief.
“Fellow Daoist Zhuang, you’re leaving just like that?”
“Eh?”
Yin Buping, the Sect Master of the Clearwater Sect, frowned slightly, as if he was also puzzled by Zhuang Changhe’s actions.
They had already prepared themselves mentally. Next, with the misunderstanding and the matter of the Son of Fate, the Mysterious Sky Sword Sect would make a big deal out of it.
However, the truth was that they did not make any requests at all.
This caught everyone off guard. No one expected Zhuang Changhe to send them off at this moment. Furthermore, he had left without giving them any chance to react.
It was not an exaggeration to say that his actions had stunned everyone present.
However, they had already obtained what they needed to take and knew what they needed to know. If they did not leave now, would they be waiting for dinner!
Thus, everyone stood up and took their leave.
…
At the same time.
At the foot of the Sunset Peak, the scene of flowers blooming and birds chirping and flowers fragrant suddenly attracted the attention of a white-robed youth.
“Oh? I didn’t expect the Mysterious Heavenly Sword Sect to have such a precious place. Let’s go take a look.”
Although there was only a distance of less than 30 meters between the top of the mountain and the outside of the mountain, there were two different scenes.
If the Mysterious Heavenly Sword Sect outside of the mountain peak could be said to be a beautiful holy land for cultivation, then the scene above the sunset peak could be said to be the residence of a celestial being.
That’s right, it was that exaggerated!
The Mysterious Heavenly Sword Sect was nourished by the spiritual vein underground, so its scenery and spiritual energy density naturally surpassed other places. However, it also depended on what was compared to it. If the comparison was to the Sunset Peak, then it could be said that there was a difference between heaven and earth.
It turned out that many Mysterious Heavanly Sword Sect disciples would choose to come to the Sunset Peak to meditate and cultivate. There was no choice because the spiritual energy here was too dense. If Zhuang Changhe had not ordered them not to disturb Su Xing and the others.., they all wished they could have just stuck to their enchantments and continue to cultivate.
In their line of sight, there were at least a hundred people meditating at the foot of the Sunset Peak.
Sitting by the side of the road to meditate and cultivate, such a scene was truly breathtaking.
When the white-clothed youth saw this, he immediately felt a sense of curiosity.
“This is the important place of the Mysterious Sky Sword Sect. Who are you? Why are you here?”
A few of the disciples of the Mysterious Sky Sword Sect who were meditating also noticed the white-clothed youth who was walking over, and their expressions became a little displeased.
This place had already been listed as the important place of the Mysterious Sky Sword Sect. The appearance of an unfamiliar youth dressed in the clothing of other sects could not help but cause people to be wary.
The white-clothed youth proudly cupped his hands.
“Clearwater Sect, Yin Shisan.”
“Eh? Why are you here?”
A surprised voice came from the crowd, as if someone had recognized the youth’s identity.
“Senior Brother Ye Youji, do you know this person?” Beside Ye Youji, an early stage Golden Core disciple spoke out.
“He is the Clearwater Sect’s eldest senior brother of this batch, and also the strongest younger generation in this batch. People call him Yin Shisan without a single sword.”
“Hiss…”
