Chapter 1483: Master Dharma Sage returns, it seems that even God is helping me
In the Demon Court, while the Demon Ancestor was furious, he also learned about the existence of the Sun Shooting Bow from the Seventh Prince, Di Kun.
“You said that you sensed a threat to our clan from that divine bow, and you wanted to destroy it?” His gaze was cold, as though he had never shown any emotional fluctuation since ancient times.
“Yes, Father. The aura of the divine bow made me extremely uneasy. It felt as if I were facing a natural enemy.”
“If not for being blocked by the heavenly general at the time, I would have destroyed that bow.”
In front of the Demon Ancestor, Di Kun dared not conceal anything. He nodded honestly, recounting his feelings and thoughts when he encountered the divine bow.
“Hmph, such strange things exist in this world. No wonder Wen’er met a tragic end at his hands. During my deductions, I also found that Wen’er’s death was tied to an indistinct cloud of luck. It must be that so-called opportunity.”
The Demon Ancestor’s expression grew colder. If there was anything in this world that posed a threat to them, it was likely connected to mythical forces.
After all, the origin of the Golden Crow clan could be traced back to the dawn of the mythical era.
Therefore, anything capable of making the Golden Crow clan sense a threat must also be tied to the mythical era.
Upon hearing this, Di Kun nodded and added, “I suspect the Ninth Brother intended to destroy the bow, which is why Chu Bai resented him and attacked.”
At the mention of this, the Demon Ancestor’s eyes filled with uncontainable killing intent and grief.
“Since Xian Chu is determined to stand against me and refuses to hand over the murderer who killed Wen’er, then he must be ready to face the endless wrath of my demon clan.”
“No matter who is behind the scenes, I will settle this account with them sooner or later.”
His voice was icy cold.
Then, at the Demon Ancestor’s command, he blew the Gathering Demon Whistle, its sound echoing throughout the world.
More and more demon clan armies began to assemble, pressing against the borders of Xian Chu.
Many ancient monsters in the Endless Demon Realm thought the demon court had gone mad, seeking to start the conflict prematurely without concern for the consequences.
However, although the demon court once ruled over ten thousand demons, that was history.
In the current Endless Demon Realm, other formidable monster clans, such as the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan, operated independently of the Demon Court. These factions were also taken aback by the Demon Court’s decisiveness but chose to remain on the sidelines, watching the unfolding events.
At the same time, Xian Chu was making countermeasures. Many strong individuals were ordered to lead the army to the border adjacent to the Endless Demon Realm, where they confronted numerous powerful beings from the demon race. A prolonged war inevitably erupted, far more tragic and shocking than the events in the Longling Ancient Region.
Endless evil karma surged from the Endless Demon Realm, spreading throughout the Xi Yuan civilization.
Meanwhile, in the depths of Xian Chu, in Chu Wang City, Chu Gucheng appeared joyful on the surface as he conversed with a tall figure before him. He had not anticipated that, amidst the chaos in Xian Chu and the uncertainty of the situation, his master, who had disappeared for many eras, would suddenly return. This filled Chu Gucheng with relief, as if divine providence were aiding him.
“This time, I cultivated in the depths of time and space, comprehending the profound truths of the Dao and seeking an opportunity to survive the eighth heavenly decline. I never expected to suddenly feel a sense of foreboding in my heart.”
“Then, I pinched my fingers and calculated, discovering that the great land of Xian Chu was in turmoil, the river of fate was turbulent, and black aura lingered. I attempted to salvage fragments of this turmoil to gain insight into future possibilities,” his master said, standing with his hands clasped behind his back and shaking his head slightly.
Judging by his appearance, the figure was quite tall and burly. He had long eyebrows and kind eyes that conveyed a gentle demeanor, seemingly containing boundless wisdom and insight into the secrets of the world. He wore a large white robe that flowed without the presence of wind. The sleeves were embroidered with simple patterns, exuding an immortal style and aura, as if they carried the weight of the emperor’s land and the essence of the three thousand paths, all imbued with a lingering Daoist charm.
As the master of Chu Gucheng and the lord of Xian Chu, his cultivation needed no further elaboration. Chu Gucheng’s achievements today were largely due to him. However, Chu Gucheng was a man of great fortune. Although he was still a junior, his cultivation speed was remarkably rapid. In just over a hundred epochs, his strength had nearly caught up with that of his master.
Chu Gucheng naturally held the Dharma Sage in high esteem. Hearing his master’s words, he became more serious and couldn’t help but ask, “Master, have you seen anything from the long river of fate?”
The Dharma Sage sighed slightly, shook his head, and replied, “I can’t see anything specific, but I can say for certain that a catastrophe of unknown origins will soon sweep across the great land of Xian Chu and even the entire Xi Yuan civilization. You should be aware of this.”
“This is not related to calamity or liquidation; it is purely a man-made disaster. The best course of action for Xian Chu is to distance itself from the world as much as possible and avoid any entanglements with karmic troubles.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Gucheng smiled wryly and said, “To escape from the world and avoid troublesome causes and effects sounds simple, but you know how difficult that truly is. Even if I tell all the clansmen to leave Xian Chu, how can we avoid the complexities of cause and effect?”
“Every clansman has their own connections, friends, and loved ones. Even if they hide in Xian Chu, only inquiring about the outside world and waiting for the catastrophe to pass, what would happen to those friends and loved ones if they encountered danger and fell victim to a plot during the turmoil?”
“Moreover, I can see that this is not an ordinary calculation of calamity; simply dodging it will not be enough. The liquidation and retreat are completely unpredictable.”
“On the other hand, the vast land of Xian Chu has a wide territory. Over the years, I have recruited and subdued many individuals with great fortune. If this is indeed a calamity, it could also bring significant benefits for them, allowing them to seize the opportunity to rise.”
Man-made catastrophes and large-scale liquidations are not just abstract concepts. Sometimes, the brewing of calamity and liquidation can last for millennia or even longer. In contrast, liquidation can occur within a few hundred years or even just a few years. As for man-made catastrophes, they don’t conform to any traditional notions of calamity and retreat. The disaster can arrive in an instant, leaving no time for preparation.
As Chu Gucheng contemplated these matters, he thought of Chu Bai. The Demon Court’s large-scale assault was also triggered by Chu Bai. But even if he wished to avoid such situations, there was no viable way to do so. Would he be expected to hand over Chu Bai? The Ninth Prince of the Golden Crow Clan’s Demon Court was the one who first committed murder within the territory of Xian Chu, and Chu Bai had only acted in self-defense.
At this moment, handing over Chu Bai would not only be difficult to justify to the public, but it would also deal a significant blow to the morale of the people of Xian Chu, whom he had worked hard to unite. Therefore, not only could he not hand over Chu Bai, but he also had to confront the Demon Court with a tougher and more domineering stance.
“I understand what you’re saying, but as a master, I always have a sense of foreboding,” the Dharma Sage said. “The incident involving Chu Bai doesn’t seem like an accident; it feels more like someone is scheming and pushing things from behind the scenes.”
Upon hearing this, the Dharma Sage couldn’t help but sigh, his brows furrowing even deeper. Chu Gucheng also frowned and replied, “When Chu Bai returns, I will summon him here, and I will need to trouble you, Master, to investigate. If someone is indeed plotting behind the scenes, it will be challenging for you to uncover the truth.”
