Chapter 526 The Huo Family Also Wants to Snatch
Zhu Yue nodded, but she didn't put away her weapon and remained fully prepared for battle. She smiled and said, "I was careless!"
Old Ancestor Hong frowned. Since he had already admitted defeat, why was his fighting spirit still so strong? He wasn't afraid of the opponent's sneak attack and readily sheathed his sword.
"What just happened?" After asking, he withdrew his domain power.
Given their respective cultivation levels, they might fight for months without a clear winner. Either the Moon Fairy has a hidden ailment, or she has discovered something unusual.
Zhu Yue faced one direction, gazing into the distance, her tone quite grave: "I was just worried that someone might have accidentally wandered into our territory..."
So I used my divine sense to explore the desert over a wide area, and the result was..." He didn't say it outright, but raised his hand and pointed ahead.
Upon hearing this, Ancestor Hong dared not be careless any longer. With his and Zhu Yue's cultivation levels, they had already reached the pinnacle of this realm.
Nothing can frighten them.
Being cautious, he immediately extended his divine sense infinitely in that direction, and soon he understood why Zhu Yue had been distracted.
In Hong Laozu's perception, he discovered a mysterious and ancient building, which looked like... an altar used by ancient cultivators for sacrifices.
Even with all his might, his divine sense could not penetrate into the center of the altar.
Ancestor Hong was quite certain that there were no traces of formations there that could block divine sense from probing.
It could block divine sense probing without relying on formations, and the aura it emitted was so terrifying that even he felt fear. That was very likely...
His beard twitched, and he swallowed hard. Even knowing the other person couldn't hear him from this distance, he still subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "Never mind, let's go back."
You've already lost!
He said that, then turned and disappeared.
Why don't we run away quickly? What kind of being could make a cultivator at the peak of the Mahayana realm feel fear?
There are only two kinds of organisms.
Legendary primordial beasts and immortals from the heavens.
The latter is basically impossible. Not to mention that people from the Immortal Realm cannot come down, even if they did, their cultivation would be suppressed to the Mahayana Realm level.
Even the celestial artifacts and treasures of the immortal realm cannot unleash their original power.
Hong Laozu always believed that he had reached the highest point in this world.
I've only just realized that no matter what level you reach, the saying "there are always higher levels to reach and more capable people to reach" still applies.
Damn it, thank goodness they have the ability to remotely probe with their divine sense, otherwise if they had accidentally disturbed that thing in the altar, there would have been another memorial tablet in the Hong family ancestral hall tomorrow.
In the center of the altar, the boy in white lay sprawled out in a wild posture, pouting and saying, "What the hell!"
I thought the old man would finally get to stretch his muscles today, but with this little bit of courage... tsk, utterly pathetic!
Perhaps dissatisfied with how it had ruined his image, his demeanor suddenly changed, and his previously colorful expression returned to a meticulous indifference.
She sat upright, her tone carrying an unyielding warning: "If you dare to sneak out while I'm asleep again, I won't hesitate to find you a new host!"
The unspoken message is that they'll definitely kill you before changing your host!
"No, no, you're so powerful, how could I dare disobey? But you have to keep your word and set me free once the person you're waiting for arrives."
A rough, powerful voice, leaning towards a masculine tone, came from the boy's chest.
The boy seemed not to hear, and slowly closed his cold eyes.
"Stop pretending to be dead! I've lent you my body for thirty million years!"
Even my little flame, which I was planning to raise until fully mature before eating, couldn't resist the temptation and ran off with someone.
If you don't set me free, I'll... I'll self-destruct. You can try me if you don't believe me.
The boy still ignored him.
Meanwhile, Zhu Yue was still using her divine sense to monitor the altar.
A voice inside her told her that danger and opportunity coexist...
After struggling internally for a long time, I finally gave up the idea of going into danger. No matter how great the opportunity, you have to be alive to enjoy it.
The Demon City has existed for countless years, so why has no one ever discovered this altar?
Besides, there's a primordial beast living inside. We can come back and test it out before returning to the mainland.
Let's see if we can tame this strange beast!
Turning around, I couldn't find any trace of Old Master Hong.
I shook my head with amusement. They really run fast.
She sensed the invisible binding force within her body and, sure enough, it had been released the moment she was defeated.
Demon City, a sacred place for cultivation.
Xuanyuan Jinmo and Mu Zhen, along with the other six, were enveloped in a high-level transparent defensive shield.
Meanwhile, Wan Gu was fighting against an old man with a combined mirror.
The already small training room was now packed with people. Outsiders couldn't get in, but that didn't mean the Huo family couldn't get in either.
A fierce-looking middle-aged man pointed at a weathered old woman opposite him, his voice extremely stern: "Sixth Elder, if you stop now..."
This incident never happened.
But if you continue to be so stubborn, when the patriarch emerges from seclusion, even the clan chief's wife won't be able to protect you!
If it weren't for the fact that the Sixth Elder was the younger sister of the clan leader's wife, why would he have wasted so much time talking to her?
"Hahaha!" The old woman seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world: "Elder, how foolish you are! I have already taken the half-step Mahayana path!"
As long as we absorb that brat's essence, we can immediately enter the Great Ascension stage. In this way, our Huo family will have two Great Ascension ancestors guarding this Demon City.
From now on, this Demon City will be under the control of my Huo family.
Instead of helping your own people, you're siding with outsiders. I have to ask you, is your brain filled with straw?
He has such a villainous face, and he's actually stupid and dull-witted.
Huangfu Zique: ...
I finally understand. This dual cultivation is not the same as that dual cultivation. The latter benefits both the man and woman, while the former will kill him immediately after the dual cultivation is completed.
"That's right, Elder 1, Elder 3, Elder 5, you should all think carefully about the current situation in Demon City."
Old Ancestor Hong is nearing his ascension, and so is the one from the Zhu family. Once these two leave...
With two more patriarchs in our clan, won't the entire Demon City eventually fall under the control of the Huo family?
"What you need to do now is not to stop us, but to go outside and protect the Sixth Elder, and block those people from the outside world."
The dozen or so people standing around the old woman were all talking at once, trying their best to persuade those inflexible fellows.
The Grand Elder's expression grew even fiercer as he roared, "Silence! The rules of the Holy Land were personally established by our ancestors!"
I won't stop you from arresting him, but you absolutely cannot do it in the Holy Land.
If this gets out, who would dare to come to our clan's sacred land to cultivate and train?
Moreover, my Huo family has no shortage of Mahayana ancestors on the Flying Dragon Continent who have never been to the Void Secret Realm. The reason why no one has come yet is because the Huo family has never thought of dominating the Demon City.
Second Elder, if you don't want to be implicated by the Sixth Elder, I advise you to return to your clan's territory as soon as possible.
These words were tantamount to sentencing the Sixth Elder to death. Hatred flashed in the Sixth Elder's eyes, but he still did not think he had done anything wrong.
Fearing that the other party might continue speaking and that their allies might turn against them, they raised their wooden staffs and struck directly at them.
The arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be released; the others followed suit.
Inside the protective shield, Mu Zhen and Di Tianhuang surrounded Huangfu Zique, protecting him completely.
They vowed to defend his chastity and his life to the death.
