Even if the five peak masters were confused, they did not dare to question the arrival of the Divine Guardian Beast and the decision itself.
The crane soared into the skies and flapped its gigantic wings, causing a gust of wind to howl. Without any apparent movements, Su Zimo's figure was lifted off the ground uncontrollably and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
After the crane left, the five peak masters exchanged glances and headed for Misty Peak as well.
This matter was so strange that the five Peak Masters had to report it to the Sect Master.
Even after the five peak masters left, the disciples of the five peaks were still gathered at the same spot, discussing fervently.
"Senior crane is so amazing! To think that it knows our human language and can even speak it!"
"I heard that demons can speak the human language after cultivating to a certain realm."
"That's not all! It's said that some strong demons can even transform into humans and look exactly the same!"
For many disciples who had joined the sect for a few years, this was the first time they were seeing the true appearance of the Divine Guardian Beast and they were extremely curious.
"Hais, Senior Brother Feng has suffered a huge blow this time round. Initially, he declared that he was going to take the number one of three peaks. But in the end, he only managed to take the number one of Spirit Peak."
"Didn't the number one of Spirit Peak lose to Junior Brother Su? It's not just Senior Brother Feng, it's a huge blow to Spirit Peak as well. "
"That's right. Back then, the peak master even forbade Junior Brother Su from entering Spirit Peak. To think that he would even defeat the number one of Spirit Peak."
"The number one of four peaks! Who would have thought that the mysterious challenger would be Junior Brother Su? Hais."
…
Ethereal Main Peak, Ethereal Palace.
The five peak masters arrived at the same time. Patriarch Lingyun was seated at the top of the palace, seemingly resting with his eyes closed.
Wen Xuan cupped his fists. "Patriarch, after the battle between Su Zimo and Feng Haoyu in Array Peak's spirit arena today, in the end …"
"I got it."
Before Wen Xuan could finish, he was interrupted by Patriarch Lingyun.
Ling Yun opened his eyes. His pupils were like two stars, deep and mysterious. He said in a low voice, "The crane has already made arrangements for this."
"Patriarch, Su Zimo's body refining technique is not simple. Among the five major sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Southern Mountains Sect is the strongest in body tempering. Since Su Zimo is not cultivating a demonic technique, could it be a secret technique of the Southern Mountains Sect? "The brown haired youth was still worried and asked.
"I don't know either."
Patriarch Lingyun shook his head.
"This …"
The five peak masters were speechless.
Wen Xuan frowned. "Patriarch, senior crane is a demon after all. It …"
"Hmm?"
Ling Yun's expression changed as his gaze suddenly turned sharp. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Wen Xuan, what are you trying to say?"
A powerful pressure came crashing down. Wen Xuan's face turned pale and he was unable to continue speaking.
The atmosphere in the Misty Palace suddenly became extremely oppressive and dropped to the freezing point.
After a moment, Xuan Yi said, "Patriarch, Wen Xuan doesn't mean anything else. It's just that Su Zimo's actions can't help but remind us of someone in the past. If Su Zimo is the second him, we'll have to be more careful in the future. "
"There's no need to worry. Leave this matter to the crane."
Pausing for a moment, Ling Yun continued, "Even though the crane is a demon, you guys shouldn't doubt it when it followed our founding master to conquer the cultivation world and founded Misty Peak."
"Also, if the crane wasn't in the sect, do you think that Misty Peak would be able to become one of the five major sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"
When they heard that, the five peak masters' hearts skipped a beat.
They had long known that the crane had a special status in the sect.
However, humans and demons were different after all. The notion that those of different races would definitely have different intentions was still deeply ingrained in them.
The five of them had truly not expected the crane to be so important to the sect!
"You guys can disperse."
Ling Yun waved his hand.
After the five peak masters left, a hint of fatigue appeared on his face. Deep in his eyes, there was a hint of worry.
…
Enveloped by an invisible force, Su Zimo arrived in a valley before long.
After stepping on solid ground, Su Zimo looked around. Surrounded by mountains, the valley was barren and barren.
Rumble!
Rumble!
Boom! Boom! A series of deafening thunder reverberated through the valley.
Su Zimo frowned.
The spirit qi in this valley was extremely thin. Coupled with the interference of the thunder, it was almost impossible to cultivate.
If he were to stay here, he would truly feel as though time was passing by slowly.
After placing Su Zimo on the ground, the immortal crane circled in midair before descending suddenly. When it landed on the ground, it transformed into a beautiful woman with red hair that was coiled up in a bun, looking dignified and dignified.
Su Zimo was stunned on the spot.
The red-haired beauty before him was no different from a real human. If he had not known beforehand, Su Zimo would not have imagined that the person before him was actually a crane!
With a wave of her hand, the red-haired beauty formed a barrier around the two of them, temporarily isolating them from the thunder outside.
"Do you know why I brought you here?" The red-haired beauty looked at Su Zimo with a gentle gaze instead of coldness.
"I don't know," Su Zimo shook his head.
However, the red-haired beauty's next sentence caused Su Zimo to turn pale with fright and almost lose his composure.
"The cultivation technique of the demon race that you cultivate is very powerful," The red-haired beauty's words were shocking.
Su Zimo's expression changed and his heart skipped a beat. Instinctively, he lowered his head to hide the shock in his eyes.
"Senior crane, what do you mean by that?"
"Is it testing me or has it discovered something?"
Countless thoughts flashed through Su Zimo's mind as he froze on the spot.
"If I'm testing you, your reaction is more than enough to explain everything."
The red-haired beauty chuckled. "Don't worry. The reason why I brought you here is naturally because I don't want to expose your secret."
Su Zimo asked, "When did you discover it, senior?"
"Half a year ago, you attacked on Spirit Peak and knocked out a Spirit Peak disciple with a single palm strike. Although it was a short process, there was still a trace of the demon race's bloodline aura that others might not be able to detect. However, as a demon, I'm naturally extremely familiar with that aura," The red-haired beauty explained.
Pausing for a moment, the red-haired beauty continued, "You're still considered a human right now. However, as time passes by and the bloodline in your body fuses completely with the newly born demon race's bloodline, you'll completely turn into a demon and lose all traces of the human race!"
Su Zimo remained silent.
He had already noticed that as well. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stopped cultivating the Marrow Cleansing section for the past half a year.
No matter what, Su Zimo was still a human at the end of the day. Even if he cultivated The Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness, he didn't want to completely transform into a demon.
As though she could read Su Zimo's mind, the red-haired beauty continued, "Even if you stop cultivating this demon race's cultivation technique, the demon race's bloodline is already fused into your body. If you're not careful, you'll be exposed! I don't have to explain the consequences of that, right? "
Su Zimo nodded.
Once they knew that he was a demon, there were only two ways for the sect to deal with him. They could either kill him or make him sign a blood oath to become someone else's spirit beast.
Even if he escaped from the sect, Su Zimo wouldn't be able to move around freely in the cultivation world.
Those were the only two ways for cultivators to deal with demons.
