Chapter 1291: Chapter 789: Top-grade Spirit Stone, Gathering Strength (Part 2)

Among these powerful figures, many are well-known throughout the Heavenly Origin Great World, and their prestige shocks the world as top-tier Primordial Spirit Realms.

It can be said that each person here possesses the strength to establish a sect and become a colossal power in their own right.

However, at this moment, the atmosphere in the main hall is somewhat heavy.

Everyone is looking at a curtain of light in the center of the hall, their expressions grave.

On the curtain of light, it shows the situation of Zhou Tian City.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is what Zhou Tian City looks like now; it was imprinted from high above using a Memory Stone by me."

The solemn middle-aged man wearing a Thunder Magic Robe, who had rushed to Zhou Tian City upon receiving a request for help, spoke.

In his hand, he held a shimmering Crystal Stone, which was manifesting a curtain of light in the air.

"Zhou Tian City was cut open from above by a mysterious strongman, the array completely destroyed; then the Gongsu Family, from the Clan Leader to the ordinary Golden Core Realm powerhouses, all perished at the hands of that mysterious strongman."

Looking at the massive sword mark spanning the entire Zhou Tian City on the curtain, the eyes of those in the hall revealed shock.

"Master Lei, are you sure the sword mark was cut by a single sword?"

A strong figure asked incredulously.

"I too thought it impossible at first, but after inquiring with many of Zhou Tiancheng’s residents, they all said the same thing. Among them were strong Primordial Spirit powerhouses, so I believe it’s unlikely to be wrong," the solemn middle-aged man replied seriously.

Once again, the hall fell into silence.

If this matter is true, it is indeed a huge affair.

No wonder Master Lei convened the elder meeting immediately upon his return.

It turns out such a shocking event had occurred.

Zhou Tian City was breached, and the Gongsu Family, being one of the Thirty-Six Upper Clans, was also defeated; their decline is already a foregone conclusion.

More importantly, to cut Zhou Tian City in half with one sword, with the sword mark stretching for miles.

This kind of astonishing might is not possessed even by them.

Since when did the Gongsu Family provoke such an existence?

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is not the most severe part." At this time, the solemn middle-aged man added, "I suspect the mysterious person who broke Zhou Tian City might very likely be that Evil Demon from decades ago!"

"Who is that Evil Demon from decades ago?" one figure asked in confusion.

Yet, other figures had a drastic change in their expressions and urgently asked: "Master Lei, are you certain the person who acted was the Evil Demon from decades ago?"

Upon hearing this, other figures also trembled.

They recalled the major event from decades ago.

"This is just my speculation."

The solemn middle-aged man waved his hand, manifesting a phantom in mid-air.

The phantom was cloaked in a black cape, with a strange Ghost Face Mask, looking as calm as water, completely indifferent.

It was a phantom extracted by the solemn middle-aged man using the Soul Searching Technique, retrieved from the minds of cultivators who had been opportunistic in Zhou Tian City.

"According to the memories of Zhou Tiancheng’s residents, this person is the mysterious strongman who attacked Zhou Tian City, beheading several Primordial Spirit Realm members of the Gongsu Family.

His outfit is identical to that of the assassin who infiltrated Zhou Tian City years ago and killed Lao Qi of the Gongsu Family.

Based on our investigations over the years, that assassin is very likely one of the identities of the Evil Demon back then.

Moreover, haven’t we also found out that the Evil Demon has a deep-seated grudge against the Gongsu Family?

If he acted, it would make perfect sense.

Otherwise, where else would the Gongsu Family have provoked such a terrifying enemy?"

Looking at the phantom manifested by the solemn middle-aged man and his speculation, the expressions of a group of powerful figures were shaken.

Especially those who participated in that war years ago, seeing the eyes of the phantom, their eyes shone with terrifying light.

So similar, too similar!

The phantom’s eyes are truly too much like those of the Evil Demon back then.

"If it’s indeed the Evil Demon from back then, hasn’t his power grown too quickly? Could it be he’s already stepped into the Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit?"

A figure said incredulously.

Based on the information obtained by the Holy Alliance, in the battle decades ago, the Evil Demon had just overcome the Primordial Spirit Tribulation to achieve Primordial Spirit.

Logically speaking, no matter how extraordinary his talent, he couldn’t have advanced from the Primordial Spirit Initial Realm to the Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit in just a few decades.

"This Evil Demon cannot be judged by common sense; whether he broke Zhou Tian City with a Magical Treasure or his own power, it’s the same for us – we must treat it with the utmost caution," the solemn middle-aged man stated.

"Speaking of which, recently, I, as an old man, have sensed someone using Calculation Skill trying to peek into Heavenly Prison’s situation; could it be that Evil Demon?"

At this time, a bald elder with only a few strands of hair suddenly spoke as if he recalled something.

"Someone calculating Heavenly Prison’s situation, Prison Hall Master, are you sure of this?" the solemn middle-aged man asked promptly.

"Indeed, that person’s Calculation Skill is very mysterious, and if it weren’t for the Artifact Spirit of the Heavenly Prison warning me, even I would have found it hard to detect," the bald elder nodded.

"That makes sense. In recent years, there haven’t been many prisoners in Heavenly Prison, just some people related to that Evil Demon captured over a decade ago; before this, no one dared to calculate Heavenly Prison, so it must also be related to that Evil Demon."

"Does this mean that the Evil Demon has truly returned?"

"It’s very likely!"

Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent once more.

If the Ghost Face Masked Man who breached Zhou Tian City is truly that Evil Demon from the past.

This would indeed be the worst possible news for them.

It means that after only a few decades, that Evil Demon has truly grown from an initial Primordial Spirit to a level that even they must tremble before.

Although their long-standing cultivation knowledge suggests this is improbable.

They remember how shortly after overcoming the Primordial Spirit Tribulation, the Evil Demon was able to escape seamlessly from a siege by ten Five Tribulation Primordial Spirits from both the Human Race and Demon Clan.

He even managed to counter-kill a Five Tribulation Demon King from the Demon Clan.

Thus, they feel this may not be entirely impossible either.

"What should we do now?" another figure broke the silence and asked.

"I propose we inform the Demon Clan of this matter. Given that this Evil Demon is exceptionally cunning and has returned with full assurance, relying solely on our Holy Alliance might be insufficient.

The Demon Clan was also involved in the past, and we cannot let them stay out of it."

"Uniting with the Demon Clan and using the might of both races to slay the Evil Demon might be a solution," a figure nodded.

Others, hearing about forming an alliance with the Demon Clan, had somewhat unnatural expressions.

However, after glancing at the sword mark in the hall’s central curtain crossing Zhou Tian City, they initially said nothing against it, nodding in agreement.

"We must also keep a close watch on those in Heavenly Prison to prevent that Evil Demon from suddenly attacking. Based on our intelligence, that Evil Demon is evidently adept with techniques that alter his aura, which is something we must guard against."

"Worry not, with this old man guarding it, not even the Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit can easily breach Heavenly Prison’s defense," the bald elder said confidently.

"Additionally, we cannot just wait passively; we need to act proactively, seeking that Evil Demon’s trace..."

Strategy after strategy was proposed and discussed by the formidable figures.

As one of the largest forces in the Heavenly Origin Great World, the energy the Holy Alliance commanded was undoubtedly formidable.

Soon, schemes targeting Lu Qing were swiftly finalized, and the entire Holy Alliance began mobilizing.

A day later, a Flying Boat departed from the Human Race’s territory and entered the Demon Clan’s domain.

Before long, the Demon Clan also began to stir with undercurrents.

Meanwhile, Lu Qing remained unaware and unconcerned with these movements, focusing solely on his cultivation in a subterranean cave.

He naturally knew that the Holy Alliance would inevitably take action.

But for him, the most important thing at this moment was enhancing his power.

In the face of overwhelming strength, all conspiracies and ghostly entities become as insubstantial as clouds, dispersing with a wave.

And so, he continued to cultivate underground.

As the days passed by, he finally sensed a breakthrough opportunity once more.
