The Sect Master urgently summoned all the fifth realm elders. This was the first time such a thing had happened on Baiyun Mountain. For a moment, all the Creation realm elders in the sect, whether they were writing talismans or cultivating in seclusion, immediately stopped what they were doing and left the various peaks to head to the main peak.
At the same time, above the East Sea, in the Xuanzong Ancestral Court, there were dozens of streams of light flying towards the highest peak from several mountains that were hanging upside down in the air.
In a certain country in the southwest of the Ancestral State, in the Ancestral Court of the Pill Cauldron Sect, all the Creation realm elders in the sect had just been urgently summoned by the Sect Master.
The South Sect, North Sect, and Spirit Array Sect also did the same.
For these five sects, Xuan Jizi's dream was not worth mentioning. Which of the six Daoist sects did not want to unify Daoism? Everyone was polite on the surface, but in reality, everyone wanted to ride on the heads of others.
In comparison, the Dao page that the Demon Emperor Bai Di once possessed was the most important thing.
Although what was recorded on that page might only be the cultivation methods of the Demon Clan, all methods were one, and the Great Path was the same. Human cultivators might be able to comprehend something from it.
Taking a step back, even if the Dao page was useless to human cultivators, it was a supreme treasure to the Demon Race. It could even be said that whoever obtained the Dao page would obtain the Demon Race.
Even if they could not obtain it, they could not let the Demon Path obtain it.
Changle Palace.
Li Mu and Xuan Jizi were speechless for a long time after their second conversation.
He originally wanted Xuan Jizi to keep it a secret. Now, all the six Daoist sects knew that the Demon Path and the Demon Path had found clues to the White Emperor Cave Abode. These sects would definitely not stand by and watch. The competition suddenly increased by many times.
Xuan Jizi was old and the Sect Master. Li Mu had to give him some face and did not say anything.
Although it was best for their own people to obtain the Dao page, it was more important that it did not fall into the hands of the Demon Path.
If the six Daoist sects sent people to participate, the chances of snatching the Dao page from the Demon Path would be higher.
There was no time to lose. In order to prevent the Demon Path from taking the initiative, Li Mu had to act immediately.
Unfortunately, it was the Lantern Festival in two days. He had promised to accompany Xiao Bai and Wanwan to the lantern festival, but now he had to break his promise.
After making this decision as quickly as possible, Li Mu left the palace gates and strode toward the Department of Offerings.
…
Life Continent, Country of Demons.
In the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range, the demons had their own territories. Every great demon had their own territory. Within their territories, they established their own kingdoms and called themselves kings. They recruited the demons and formed a powerful force.
These forces had friction with each other, and occasionally, there would be annexation. Only those forces that were strong enough to intimidate others could survive for a long time.
For example, the Demon Sect.
The Demon Sect was not a country established by a certain demon race, and most of the members of the Demon Sect were not from the Demon Nation.
Many of them had fled to the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range after committing heinous crimes by feeding on human Blood Essence in the various countries in the Ancestral State.
The Demon Sect gathered these fallen demons together and formed a huge force. Even the top ranked Demon Kings of the Demon Nation would not provoke them.
This was because the Demon Sect was not only a single force, but also one of the ten Demon Path sects. They had the support of the Demon Path behind them, allowing them to occupy a vast territory in the Demon Nation.
The Demon Sect.
Numerous mountain peaks were scattered all over the place. Each mountain peak was filled with dense Demonic Qi. Among them, Demonic Qi soared into the sky from several of the mountain peaks, piercing through the clouds.
On the highest mountain peak, the pressure was extremely strong. Some of the lesser demons passing by would involuntarily lower their heads and feel panic in their hearts.
On that mountain peak was the cave residence of the Grand Elder.
The Demon Sect's Grand Elder was a late-stage Core Fragmentation expert. His strength was equivalent to a peak human cultivator in Dongxuan. He was only one step away from stepping into the seventh realm and becoming a legendary spirit demon.
On the mountain peak, in the most spacious cave residence.
A strong man was sitting on a tall chair. His voice was as loud as a bell as he asked, "How is it?"
Another figure knelt down and said, "Great Elder, we are 100% sure that the Demon King's cave is there. However, the Demon King has passed away and no one knows where the entrance to the space is. It will take some time to find the entrance to the cave."
The strong man said in a deep voice, "Take your time. We have waited for hundreds of years. There is no need to rush."
The figure kneeling on the ground said, "Grand Elder, why don't you look for it yourself? With your strength, it shouldn't be difficult to find the entrance to the Demon King's cave residence, right?"
The strong man looked at him indifferently and said, "What do you know? If I leave here, I will definitely attract the attention of some old fellows. Don't forget where this place is. Once the news is leaked, the entire Demon Nation will be shaken. At that time, it will be even harder for us to get that thing …"
The figure immediately said, "It's my men who are stupid …"
The strong man asked, "How is the lockdown?"
The figure nodded and said, "Don't worry, Grand Elder. The people who know about this are all our trusted men. I guarantee that it will be airtight. As long as we find the entrance to the cave residence, we will be able to quietly get that thing. At that time, Grand Elder will unify the Demon Nation and become the King of Demons. It will only be a matter of time …"
The strong man nodded and said, "It's fine as long as it's airtight …"
Just as he finished speaking, someone suddenly walked in quickly and said, "Grand Elder, His Highness King Qinguang is here to visit."
The strong man frowned and asked suspiciously, "What is he here for?"
This was a sensitive time when he was about to succeed. Any movement would make him suspicious. He would suspect that the other party was here for his White Emperor's cave residence.
Soon, the strong man shook his head. He must be thinking too much.
King Qinguang was far away in the Ghost Realm. How could he know his secret? He looked at the person and said, "Let him in."
Ever since the Nether Saint died at the hands of the Empress of the Great Zhou, the Soul Sect had no leader. In order to stabilize the Soul Sect, several elders of the Sage Sect worked together to raise King Qinguang's strength to the sixth realm and promoted him to the new Grand Elder of the Soul Sect.
In terms of status, this former junior of the Soul Sect was now on equal footing with him.
Soon, the black-robed King Qinguang walked into the cave residence. He first cupped his hands to the strong man and said, "Greetings, Demon King."
Although he was now the Grand Elder of the Soul Sect, the strength of the Demon Race and the Soul Sect could not be mentioned in the same breath. He was far from being a match for the Grand Elder of the Demon Sect. In front of him, King Qinguang still lowered his status slightly.
The Demon Sect's Grand Elder Taoist priest said, "I haven't congratulated you on being promoted to the Grand Elder of the Soul Sect."
King Qinguang said modestly, "It's all luck. I can't compare to the Demon King."
The two exchanged a few polite words. The Demon Sect's Grand Elder asked, "Why did you come to my Demon Nation instead of staying in the Ghost Realm?"
King Qinguang said, "I heard that the Demon King discovered the White Emperor's cave residence, so I came to take a look."
Boom!
The Demon Sect's Grand Elder's mind buzzed.
He had already ordered everyone to keep this matter a secret. The entire matter was airtight. How did King Qinguang, who was far away in the Ghost Realm, know about it?
Soon, his face regained its calm. He looked at King Qinguang and said in surprise, "Even I didn't know about this. How did you know about it?"
King Qinguang looked at him with surprise and said slowly, "A head of the Pill Cauldron School and a dozen Fortune Realm elders have already entered the Demon Nation. According to the reports of our spies in various places, besides the Pill Cauldron School, the Fu-lu School, the Spirit Array School, the Southern School, the Northern School, and the Xuanzong have all made big movements. Their target seems to be the Demon Nation. The Great Zhou's Consecrated Department has been moving frequently recently. There must be some scheme … If they're not here for the White Emperor's cave residence, could it be that they're here to pacify the Demon Nation and eradicate the Demon Sect?"
The Demon Sect's Grand Elder's face sank. After a long time, he took a deep breath and looked at a figure behind him. He gritted his teeth and said, "This is what you meant by airtight?"
The Demon Cultivator fell to his knees with a thump, his body shaking like a sieve.
How was this airtight? It was simply leaking air everywhere.
At this moment, he also didn't know how this matter that was supposed to be top secret was suddenly known by everyone …
Could it be that there was a traitor among them?
