Chapter 1294: Chapter 791: Movements on All Sides, Silent Infiltration
Lu Qing looked at the date posted on the notice and found that it had been over half a year since then.
He estimated that there was less than a month left until Five Treasure Taoist and the others would be executed.
"One month is enough."
With the Void Flying Boat in hand, the distance in the Heavenly Origin Great World, although vast, posed no problem for him.
Since he still had a month, it was a good time for him to settle down a bit.
He could enhance the power of some of his Taoist Magic, just enough to give the Holy Alliance a big surprise when the time came.
Heavenly Saint Peak.
This is a giant mountain even more vast than Tianshu Divine Mountain, and it’s also where the Holy Alliance’s main base is located.
"Master Lei, do you think that Evil Demon will come?" a white-haired elder asked.
"Hard to say." Lei Tian shook his head, "But based on our understanding of that Evil Demon, he seems to be very protective and values friends greatly. If he knows about this, even if he doesn’t show up to save them, he will definitely come to see what’s going on. At that time, it will be our opportunity."
"Protective and values friends, is such a person really considered an Evil Demon?" the white-haired elder said, "Master Lei, I’ve always wanted to ask, do we really have to reach this point with him? Is there no possibility of reconciliation?"
"It’s already too late." Lei Tian sighed, "Since we allied with the Demon Clan to set up an array to trap and kill him, we’ve already formed a deadly enmity.
White Hall Master, you’ve seen the fate of the Gongshu Family. This person is one who avenges every grievance.
Our Holy Alliance has already gravely offended him, and there’s no room for reconciliation.
So it doesn’t matter whether he’s an Evil Demon or not, we just need to know that he is now our enemy."
The white-haired elder fell silent.
This is also where he felt helpless.
As a moderate in the Holy Alliance, he had always advocated for a gentle approach.
Just like decades ago, if the elder who went to check during the tribulation had been more courteous, perhaps the result would have been different.
But unfortunately, the Holy Alliance has existed for too long.
Most of the elders and seniors inside are accustomed to residing above others, commanding with arrogance.
This is what provoked such a terrifying enemy for the Holy Alliance.
Moreover, the dignified Holy Alliance now even wants to use the lives of more than a dozen Human Race Golden Core elites to force a "Evil Demon" to appear.
This kind of absurdity made the white-haired elder feel that the Holy Alliance had truly changed.
It was no longer the alliance it was at its inception, taking as its mission the solemn duty of defending the Human Race to the death.
It had become a giant force, engaging in the same intrigues and internal strife as any common sect.
What made the white-haired elder even more uncomfortable was that he knew the root of the problem but could not change it.
This is human nature, and it’s not something his capability could reverse.
"Did you find out what the Human Race is doing? It’s just executing a few Golden Core Realm; why such a big fuss?"
In the Demon Clan territory, a terrifying figure wrapped in black aura was sitting on a massive throne.
Around him were seventeen similar thrones, though only a few were occupied at the moment.
A slender figure was kneeling on one knee at the very center.
"Reporting to the Demon Lord," the slender figure said, "We have not yet determined the true intent of the Human Race, but according to the information from our insiders in the Holy Alliance, it seems they want to use this to force a certain person to show himself."
"Oh? What kind of person could attract the attention of those old things in the Holy Alliance?"
The terrifying figure surrounded by black aura suddenly became interested.
Other powerful beings on the thrones also turned their eyes toward the center.
The collective gaze of several Demon Lords was enough to make that slender figure feel pressure.
However, she quickly steadied her heart and spirit and said seriously: "As for the specific person, the insider wasn’t willing to reveal too much, but I suspect it has to do with the incident where Zhou Tian City was breached and the Gongshu Family was removed from the Thirty-Six Upper Clans."
"Related to the Zhou Tian City incident?" The terrifying figure raised an eyebrow, "By the way, have you found out why Zhou Tian City was breached?"
"Reporting to the Demon Lord, we’ve only found that a powerful being suddenly appeared in Zhou Tian City, cut through the entire city with one sword, killed many Primordial Spirit and Golden Core beings of the Gongshu Family, and looted all the treasure. As for who this mysterious being is, we have not yet found out."
"One sword to cut through Zhou Tian City?"
Upon hearing this, not only the terrifying figure surrounded by black aura but also the other beings on the thrones showed some surprise.
Though they had never been to Zhou Tian City, the Thirty-Six Upper Clans of the Human Race were top-tier forces, and the Gongshu Family, ranking quite high, must have been powerful.
And being the base of the Gongshu Family, Zhou Tian City must have been fortified like an iron wall.
Yet it was breached with a single sword. How profound must the sword mastery of the assailant be?
How did the Gongshu Family provoke such an enemy?
"Interesting, could it be that this mysterious figure who attacked Zhou Tian City has enmity with the Holy Alliance? Could those Golden Core beings that the Human Race announced they would execute be related to that mysterious figure?"
The terrifying figure with Demonic Qi supporting its chin tapped its cheek lightly with a finger, deep in thought.
"Jie Mie, what do you think?"
Suddenly, the terrifying figure surrounded by Demonic Qi looked toward a figure at the end of the thrones and asked.
The Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable seemed surprised that this person would suddenly ask him a question.
The Demonic Qi around him quivered slightly; after thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "There is too little information; I can’t say for sure. However, I think this is a good thing. Regardless of who that mysterious strong figure is, since he is opposed to the Holy Alliance, it is beneficial to us."
