Again, Jiang He lost sleep.
He lay on his bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep for a long time.
For some reason, Wang Siyu, Sora, and Boa Hancock's figures popped up in his head whenever he closed his eyes.
It was one thing for their silhouettes to appear, but they even did something shameful to him. This was simply too much!
That was not the point.
The point was that aside from those three figures, Mu Wanqiu had joined in as well. Jiang He had assumed that he was just full of energy, so he gave up on that thought …
How could he be full of energy?
He should be exhausted mentally and physically after working so hard for an entire day. Moreover, why would Mu Wanqiu's figure appear in his head even if he was full of energy?
He was not lusting after her body.
Sitting up on his bed, he checked the time …
It was not even two in the morning.
"How am I supposed to get through this long night?" Jiang He breathed a long sigh helplessly and got up to put on his clothes.
It was a long night, and he was in no mood to sleep. He had to find something to do, and he casted the Twenty-Three Swords again to help him sleep.
After putting on his clothes.
Jiang He arrived at his farm and nonchalantly put away the Cloudscraper Vine.
Watching as the eighteen thick tendrils of the Cloudscraper Vine turned into a cluster of green light and tunneled into his body, Jiang He shuddered for some reason.
However, he did a double take when he stepped out of his farm.
"I was so focused on getting dressed that I forgot where I should go …"
All at once, Jiang He had the thought that there was nowhere he could go despite the vastness of the world.
Should he go to Shennongjia and ask the ancient daemon cultivators if there were any cultivation manuals suitable for plant beings?
"That's … not appropriate, is it?"
"After all, Cultivation arts are generally confidential and will not be taught to others easily. I've only met the ancient demon cultivators of Shennongjia once, and the process of our acquaintance may not have been very pleasant. It's definitely inappropriate to go to them recklessly."
Jiang He felt that asking the ancient daemon cultivators for … ahem, to borrow their cultivation manuals.
He had to find a justifiable excuse to borrow the Cultivation arts that were suitable for plant life from the ancient demon cultivators.
Since he could not go to the ancient daemon cultivators, he could only go to the Sky Demon Cult.
"Yes."
"Over the last two months, the Sky Demon Cult had been sending people to ambush me every other day. Leaving that aside, the Saint of the Sky Demon Cult was actually working with the Dragoncroc Emperor to kill me. If I hadn't had a flash of inspiration and struck first to kill the Dragoncroc Emperor, I'm afraid that I would be living in fear every day, afraid of being ambushed."
Moreover, Jiang He had been friends with the Saint of the Sky Demon Cult for a long time.
He had always wanted to see just what kind of divine being the Sky Demon Cult's Saint Master was to be able to trick such a large group of fools into serving him.
Yan Dehao had mentioned that he had entered the Sky Demon Cult's headquarters a few times, and he had always shifted to Mount Thunder in Miaojiang.
Turning on his phone, Jiang He did a search online.
The Thunder God Mountain was located in the hinterland of Miaojiang. It was actually a scenic area called the Thunder God Mountain National Forest Park.
There were also people on the Internet who said that Thunder God Mountain was the holy land of Miaojiang. It was the highest mountain in Miaojiang, and it was a world of clouds. In the continuous forest, dense fog floated all year round, like a paradise on earth.
Yan Dehao also mentioned Mount Moon, and Jiang He checked it out in passing.
Mount Moon was also located in the hinterland of Miaojiang, and was not too far from Mount Thunder …
"Yan Dehao said that he would not teleport more than fifty kilometers away each time. It seems that the Sky Demon Cult's headquarters is between Mount Thunder and Mount Moon …"
"Still, could that old brat be fooling me?"
"I remember him saying that aside from the Sky Demon Cult's headquarters, there would always be plains nearby … are there plains in the hinterland of Miaojiang?"
Jiang He was not sure since he had never been to Miaojiang.
Still, he had a hunch that what Yan Dehao saw was merely an illusion.
After confirming the location of Mount Thunder, Jiang He put his phone in his System Backpack, whipped out the Scarlet Flame Sword, and rode away.
Now that his System Backpack had twenty-four slots, he could store more things. It was unlike before when he did not even have enough space for some of his spoils of war, let alone his phone, which left Jiang He worried that his phone would shatter every time he fought.
Still, there was a downside to putting his phone in his System Backpack … there was no signal or internet connection.
Still, it was the middle of the night and he did not have to answer his phone, so it did not matter if there was signal or not.
Clasping his hands behind his back, Jiang He stood on his sword, listening to the howling winds beside his ears even as his mind was a jumbled mess.
"Right now, what I can be sure of is that there is a mountain-guarding array outside the Sky Demon Cult's headquarters …"
"I only know the Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array and know nothing about such things. If I can't get in, I'll have to use brute force to break it. Let's just hope that my ability would be enough to break the Sky Demon Cult's mountain-guarding array."
Jiang He was a little nervous.
It was the middle of the night, and he had traveled thousands of kilometers with great fanfare. It would be awkward if he could not even break the mountain-guarding array.
"If I really can't get into the Sky Demon Cult's headquarters or break their array, I'll have to use my ultimate move!"
… …
Meanwhile, at the Sky Demon Cult's headquarters.
Inside a great canyon.
With the Sky Demon Cult's two Cardinals, the Four Holy Children, and the three remaining Elders in the lead, over a dozen Decans, over forty Fiends, and almost a thousand cultists were kneeling on a massive square.
They had been kneeling for over a dozen minutes, but there was not a hint of impatience on their faces. Instead, their faces were filled with zeal!
Soon …
He would be able to see the Hierarch.
For many of the Sky Demon Cult cultists, they would not be afraid even if their bones were crushed if they could gain the Saint's favor.
It wasn't that this group of people were idiots, but that they had been deeply brainwashed … This type of brainwashing wasn't the same as pyramid schemes. Instead, it was combined with a special spiritual secret technique to plant a seed of "faith" in the inner world of these believers.
Of course, from Jiang He's perspective, they were all idiots.
What year was it now?
Why would they join a cult like that?
Even so, the truth was that most of the Sky Demon Cult cultists had no choice. Most of them were guilty of the most heinous crimes in the first place, and some were even fugitives or wanted criminals.
After waiting for a few more minutes …
Suddenly …
Rawr!
A deafening roar echoed from the depths of the canyon, and in the next split second, the colossal water serpent that was a Feral Emperor arrived, riding the clouds and mists.
Its colossal form swayed amidst the mists, and it arrived at the center of the square in a few flashes.
The Sky Demon Cult's Saint tapped lightly on the water serpent's flat head and floated down from the skies.
"Greetings, Saint!"
"Long live the Saint!"
Suddenly, thunderous voices came from the mouths of the disciples kneeling on the ground.
The Sky Demon Cult's Saint landed.
Scanning the crowd, she extended her hand and pressed softly into thin air. All at once, the clamorous cultists quietened.
"Are all the cultists here?"
The Seventh Elder of the Sky Demon Cult walked up and answered reverently, "Saint, there are still three Decans, fourteen Heavenly Generals, and three hundred cultists who have yet to return. They have been operating overseas and are unable to return at the moment."
It was certainly impossible for several rank-eights and rank-sevens to cross the ocean. In this day and age, the oceans were more dangerous than land.
And the skies were also occupied by bird-type Ferocious Beasts. To rely on an airplane to cross the ocean … was impossible.
Nonetheless, the Sky Demon Cult's Saint did not mind.
She said indifferently, "The reason I've gathered everyone here today is because of the Sacred Race's grand plan. I've already contacted the Sacred Race's Sacred Emissary. In about twelve days, the Sacred Race's Sacred Leader will personally open the Star Passage, and the Sacred Race's army will descend upon Earth …"
Her voice was hoarse and androgynous at the moment, and there was no way to tell if it was a man or a woman. Her voice was calm, but it resounded clearly in the ears of every Sky Demon Cultist.
The many Sky Demon Cultists bellowed in rage, appearing even more fanatical.
"In twelve days, follow me to slaughter our way into Lingzhou City. We will sacrifice the hundreds of thousands of citizens there to receive our Holy Envoy's legion …"
"When the time comes, all of you would be heroes of our Holy Race, and the Holy Lord would not be stingy to grant you sacred bodies and the path to immortality."
"What joy is there in life, and what fear is there in death? Everyone, it is time to sacrifice for the Holy Faith! "
A Child roared.
"All for the Holy Faith!"
"All for the Holy Faith …"
Even as the endless roars echoed like a tidal wave, the Sky Demon Cult's Saint smiled in disdain beneath her golden mask.
A bunch of …
Fools.
The Holy Faith?
The Holy Race?
There was only the Sky Demons in this world, and they only had one Demon Lord. What Holy Race, Holy Faith, or Holy Lord?
Of course, it did not matter to these fanatical cultists whether they were demons or saints.
She waved her hand impatiently.
The three Elders and the four Holy Children rose to their feet, channeling their energies like thunder as they cried out, "Silence, everyone. The Holy Lord has decreed that everyone would be baptized at the Holy Lake. From now on, groups of a hundred would take turns to enter the Holy Lake, and it would be the day we flatten Lingzhou City after you are baptized!"
The many cultists bellowed again …
It was only after much persuasion from the three Elders and the four Holy Children that they calmed down, and soon, a hundred cultists were chosen to enter the Holy Lake.
"Holy Lord!"
The two Cardinals arrived in front of the Sky Demon Cult's Saint.
The Sky Demon Cult's Saint smiled. "Follow the Divine Beast Protector to the treasure vault and take out every treasure there is. Do your best to improve everyone's combat ability."
"By the way, there are spies among these cultists. I'll point them out later and kill them as a sacrifice to the heavens … Eh?"
Suddenly, the Sky Demon Cult's Saint's expression twitched, and she promptly looked up into the distance.
Kaboom!
A dull rumble echoed, and the entire canyon quaked slightly as if an earthquake was happening.
In the next instant …
Ooom!
Around the canyon, a radiance arose like a ripple.
The mountain-guarding array of the Sky Demon Cult's headquarters had been attacked and activated on its own!
