Chapter 189: Chapter 149: Scorched Earth Defense (Requesting Monthly Ticket) Li Qian returned to Chen Bell Platform late into the night. As soon as he got back, two disciples came out of their wooden huts upon hearing the noise. "Go and rest." Li Qian waved his hand and then entered his room. Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he recalled the scenes in Baibi City earlier that day, and he still felt a lingering sense of dread. If it weren’t for the formidable performance of his Qi Blood Holy Realm, Baibi City would have likely met its doom this time. "It seems the Qi Blood Holy Realm is a natural nemesis to demon creatures." Li Qian muttered to himself. He remembered when he was in Taiping Sacred Cave; he had killed a demon creature that had taken on human form, which mentioned the Qi Blood Holy Realm. The tone was filled with terror and shock. At that thought, Li Qian took out a demon stone. This demon stone had become very dull. It would probably not last much longer. But he had a spare one. Thus, Li Qian closed his eyes, held the demon stone in both hands, and began to absorb the Demon Essence from the demon stone, integrating it into his Pure Holy Body, refining it afterwards to strengthen his Qi Blood Holy Realm. The stronger the Qi Blood Holy Realm, the more confidence he’ll have in facing demon creatures in the future. ... Taiwu Dao Mansion. As soon as Daoist Master Yu Song had returned, he received messages from the other six cities. "Father, apart from Baibi City, almost everyone in the other five cities is dead, and several martial arts forces also suffered heavy losses... What’s going on? Did something go wrong with the demon ritual from Heavenly Poison Sect?" A bearded elder spoke. Under normal circumstances, except for Banling City which was protected by father, the other cities would have been completely wiped out. Unexpectedly, Baibi City under the jurisdiction of the Divine Sword Sect managed to survive the demon ritual unscathed. "Yu Xun, you were in Baibi City, what happened there?" Daoist Master Yu Song turned to his grandson and immediately asked. "Grandfather... Wasn’t it you who broke the demon ritual?" Yu Xun, a Heavenly Person, questioned in confusion. He then recounted the specific details. "It’s very possible that there was a problem with the arrangement of the Small Demon Descent Technique in Baibi City, so Baibi City was spared." Daoist Master Yu Song stroked his beard, "However, this is a good thing. The demon ritual of the Heavenly Poison Sect must not have been completely successful. Even if the Demon Saint from Lion Camel Ridge descended, their demon body wouldn’t be too strong. Also, after the demon ritual took place, it definitely would have caused a huge commotion, and we should soon find out more." He didn’t entertain the thought that someone might have broken the Small Demon Descent Technique in Baibi City. Even he, a Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial, was at a loss, so naturally, he did not consider this possibility. Before too long, spies from Taiwu Dao Mansion sent back intelligence saying that anomalies had appeared in the Huilong Mountain Range, on the border between Shu State and Sword State... "Mobilize all the forces of the Mansion immediately to the Huilong Mountain Range... Additionally, issue the Taiwu Dao Mansion’s edict to draw in Heavenly Persons and martial arts armies from all martial arts forces under Taiwu Dao." Daoist Master Yu Song immediately issued the command. The just-descended Demon Saint was still in its weakest state and was the easiest to eradicate. "Father, you have consumed too much energy..." The bearded elder hurriedly said. "There’s no time to recover; it’s crucial to eliminate the demon creatures, and... the demon body of the Demon Saint definitely won’t be too strong, we still have a chance." Daoist Master Yu Song shook his head. Although he had not recovered to his peak condition, the Demon Saint was in the same boat. At this time, it was necessary to nip the threat in the bud. ... Dong! It was still not yet dawn. The clear bell sounds echoed, spreading across the entire Divine Sword Sect’s skies. Below the bell tower, Bai Yun and Chai Shao, two disciples holding swords, were practicing Heartless Sword Technique. In fact, all the disciples of the Divine Sword Sect would choose this time to practice. Li Qian held sword eighteen, practicing swordsmanship, pondering over the Heartless Sword Intent. The formless Sword Intent permeated the air yet remained subdued, not stirring any Heavenly Phenomenon. After a session of cultivation, Li Qian retracted his Sword Intent and exhaled deeply. He stood atop the bell tower, watching the two disciples engaged in their training. The two disciples had made rapid progress after practicing the Heartless Sword Technique. After all, one was a Mid-Grade Bright Light Level, and the other was a High-Grade Bright Light Level. Their Root Bone talent was one in a thousand among Divine Sword Sect’s disciples. Moreover, they were cultivating at Chen Bell Platform, with the opportunity to bask in the first toll of the bell each day for cultivation, which could be said to experience the optimal cultivating environment. In the afternoon, Li Qian went to Divine Sword Hall to discuss the preparations needed to set up the Great Array with the Sect Leader. Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu immediately mobilized manpower and resources from Divine Sword Sect to assist Li Qian in setting up the Array. Setting up the Great Array was rather complicated. For example, the Solid Array Piles needed to be buried at very precise locations; some places even had important buildings and facilities... which meant they had to be demolished. Under the coordination of Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu, everything went smoothly. While Li Qian was busy setting up the Array, another important meeting was convened inside Divine Sword Hall. Taiwu Dao Mansion issued an edict, calling on all Heavenly Persons and the Divine Sword Army of Divine Sword Sect to proceed to Huilong Mountain to deal with the impending demon calamity. "According to information from Taiwu Dao Mansion, nearly all the people in five cities have perished, Qi King’s Mansion, Shu King’s Mansion, Qingcheng Sect, Xuanyi Sect have also suffered significant losses..." Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu said. Had it not been for the sudden elimination of the demon ritual in Baibi City... even if the three Heavenly Persons had survived, surely we would have lost a number of Inner Sect Disciples and elder-level experts. "Is the situation that serious?" The many senior elders and Peak Masters present were shocked. In past demon sightings, Taiwu Dao Mansion, in cooperation with local martial forces, had always been able to resolve them easily. But this time... a total of five cities’ populations were lost, and even several martial forces suffered heavy losses.
