It was often said that Heavenly Demon Ye could fight against the world alone and suppress all heroes, but everyone knew that this was not including Supreme Master.
The ruler of the Mortal World was always Supreme Master.
It was only because Supreme Master didn't get involved in the affairs of the Mortal World all year round and ruled without doing anything, as if the will of Heaven was high and unpredictable. Therefore, in the eyes of many people, Heavenly Demon Ye had the deterrent power of the number one master in the Mortal World.
As soon as there was news that Heavenly Demon Ye might recover from his injury and was about to return to Jianghu, the whole Mortal World immediately became nervous. Whether it was the righteous or the demonic, all of them temporarily put aside their conflicts and focused their attention on the Old Devil.
The Old Devil's strength was indeed amazing, but the reason why he could be arrogant in the Mortal World was because Supreme Master was an outsider.
For so many years, Supreme Master had been in seclusion, and when he came out, he didn't react to Heavenly Demon Ye's existence, as if he didn't care. This was why everyone was so nervous about the Old Devil coming out of Jianghu.
However, Supreme Master's mind was unpredictable, and he might change his mind.
As the only successor of Supreme Master, Chen Luoyang might be the key.
Chen Luoyang had previously swept through the Mortal World and made great gains in the Innate Tomb and the Emperor's Mausoleum. Azure Dragon Island Master, Fusang Island Master, and Abbot Fakong of the Bitter Sea lineage were all wary of Chen Luoyang, but now because of Heavenly Demon Ye, they had to put aside their fear of Chen Luoyang for the time being and unite around him.
Although no one said it explicitly, since they had come together today, it was tantamount to tacitly agreeing to one thing.
Now in the Mortal World, the forces of the Demonic Path were united, and the acknowledged leader was a Martial Saint.
The Demon Emperor Chen Luoyang had officially become the leader of the Demonic Path.
"Now, we still lack the Crouching Dragon Sand of the Wilderness …" Azure Dragon Island Master said, looking at Abbot Fakong of the Bitter Sea.
Abbot Fakong's expression was peaceful and calm. "The public enemy of the world is the Heavenly Demon. The matter of the Third River in the Mortal World can be discussed later, but I'm afraid Benefactor Wolong himself may not be willing to bow down to the Demon Emperor."
The Bitter Sea lineage originally had no irreconcilable hatred with the Wilderness.
However, Yan Mingkong, who had killed many people from the Misery Sea, was eventually taken in by the Wildlands. This caused the Misery Sea and the Wildlands to be in constant conflict in recent years.
Yan Mingkong's strength had broken through to the seventeenth realm, and his swordsmanship was gradually formed. Now, he could almost be called the number one person in the seventeenth realm of the mortal world. Even the Ten Heroes of the Mortal World were no match for him. Gradually, he was given the honorific "Styx River", and was regarded as the third river in the mortal world after the Sky River and the Blood River.
In the Bitter Sea lineage, there was even an expert of the eighteenth realm who was defeated by his sword. If it was not for the Heart Sacrificing Demon Monk who was one of the top ten Martial Saints, that eighteenth realm Bitter Sea elder might have been killed on the spot.
However, even with Heart Sacrificing Demon Monk's abilities, he still couldn't do anything to Yan Mingkong.
At the seventeenth stage of the Styx, his strength could already challenge the top ten Martial Saints, attracting the attention of the entire world.
However, with the news that Heavenly Demon Ye was about to rush out of Jianghu, everyone's attention shifted to the old demon, and most of the previous conflicts subsided.
Abbot Fa Kong also expressed his willingness to temporarily set aside the conflict between the Wildlands and Yan Mingkong.
But the problem was not one-sided.
Compared to Yan Mingkong's problem, the Wildlands' King, Crouching Dragon Sand, had once been badly injured by Emperor Xi's Ancient Array. With his arrogant temperament, it would be very difficult for him to lower his head to Chen Luoyang and acknowledge him as the master of the Demonic Path.
"With Crouching Dragon Sand's temperament, he might be more willing to challenge Heavenly Demon Ye himself," Island Master Fusang said in Silence.
It had nothing to do with whether or not he had to lower his head to Chen Luoyang. No matter who it was, Crouching Dragon Sand would not lower his head.
"That's more like it." Bie Donglai scratched his ears.
Island Master Fusang said, "Sir, it seems that you agree with Crouching Dragon Sand's way of thinking. Are you also planning to challenge your master alone?"
"If it were someone else, yes." Bie Donglai shook his head. "But that damned old ghost is an exception. I just want to kill him as soon as possible. Otherwise, he might cause some trouble again. Yanyan can only hide in the Sovereign's Paradise. There's nothing in the paradise, so it's hard for her to not be happy."
Island Master Azure Dragon smiled. "It's naturally for the best that Sir Bie is willing to take action."
If the Sovereign didn't take action personally, then other people from the mortal world had to surround and kill Heavenly Demon Ye. Naturally, the more experts there were, the better.
Heavenly Demon Ye was arrogant, but he wouldn't just fight to the death. He would also adjust his strategy according to his own situation.
It would be extremely difficult to defeat such a powerhouse, let alone kill him.
One also had to consider the casualties of the besieging side and the problem of unity.
Bie Donglai was strong enough and had few worries. With him on the team, Island Master Azure Dragon, Island Master Fusang, and Abbot Fa Kong would all have more confidence.
"It's naturally best if we can unite, but I'm afraid that everyone has their own ideas," Island Master Fusang said in a low voice. The Island Lord of Fusang pondered and said, "Some people seem to have gone to the Milky Way and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty …"
The situation of the Demonic Path was basically clear.
Apart from the news that their king, Crouching Dragon Sand, was still in seclusion in the Wilderness, the other peak experts of the Demonic Path had all gathered in front of Chen Luoyang.
On the other hand, the peak experts of the Righteous Path had mostly gathered in Tianhe and Eastern Zhou.
For many years, the old Sword Immortal had always been the leader of the Righteous Path.
And the Empress of Eastern Zhou, Xu Ruotong, had suddenly risen in recent years and shocked the entire mortal world.
In the battle of the Human Emperor's Mausoleum, she was the winner like the Demon Emperor. Moreover, there was news that she was the successor of the Human Emperor, and her cultivation had already surpassed the inheritance of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Her future was even more promising than what could be seen now.
And the Empress had an extremely good relationship with the old Sword Immortal.
In addition, there was also "Crane Deity" Li Hushuang, who was also indebted to the old Sword Immortal, and the Master of the Northernmost Lake, who was rumored to have been invited to Tianhe as soon as she came out of seclusion. The Righteous Path also showed signs of uniting.
"I wonder if Sword Master North Dark will come out this time?" Abbot Fa Kong asked Slowly, his gaze moving between Chen Luoyang and Island Master Azure Dragon.
The Dark North Sword Master, Zhu Yi, was extremely talented and powerful. He was also used to being a loner and was unpredictable.
The Mortal World listed him as one of the top ten experts of the Righteous Path, but he had never been on good terms with the other top leaders of the Righteous Path. Instead, he had some dealings with Chen Luoyang.
Especially recently, he actually had some contact with Azure Dragon Island, which surprised many people in the Mortal World. They all knew what he was thinking.
Now that the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path were divided, countless people were paying attention to where this Sword Master North Dark would go.
"Mr. Zhu has no interest in the Mortal World. It just so happens that he, Emperor Zhou, and Island Master Bao were ordered by my master to pursue the God of the Underworld. Now that Island Master Bao and Emperor Zhou are both thinking about Heavenly Demon Ye, they can't just ignore my master's orders, so Mr. Zhu will be more responsible," Chen Luoyang said lightly.
Island Master Azure Dragon sighed. "Fortunately, Supreme Master doesn't blame me. To some extent, I have neglected the public for personal reasons. I have really let Supreme Master down."
When Island Master Fusang and Abbot Fa Kong heard this, their hearts sank slightly.
More than a hundred years ago, everyone besieged Heavenly Demon in a great battle. Although Heavenly Demon Ye was seriously injured and fled, the participants also suffered heavy casualties.
It was all thanks to the growth of many young experts that the world of mortals wasn't too empty. But overall, it was thinner than before.
In recent years, the Mortal World was turbulent, and there were many changes.
In just two or three years, Ancestor Blood River died, "King of Fuyao" Han Shang died, Ling Cang of the Ultimate Black Water Palace died, Ji Tianqiong's whereabouts were unknown, and the Ancient God Jiang Yi also disappeared.
Of the Ten Great Experts of the Demonic Path, excluding Heavenly Demon Ye, there were only the Leader of the Barbarian Tribe and Bie Donglai, Abbot Fa Kong, Island Master Azure Dragon Island, and Island Master Fusang.
Even if Chen Luoyang was added, there were only six of them.
On the side of the Righteous Path, Mr. Tianji died, the Great Emperor of Western Qin suffered a disaster, Emperor Chu was killed by Chen Luoyang in the Emperor's Mausoleum, the Master of Green Bull Temple disappeared, and Sword Master North Dark did not participate in the battle.
Only the Empress of East Zhou, the old Sword Immortal, the Master of Heaven Lake, Abbot Pu Hui of Little West Heaven, and Deity He were left.
Strictly speaking, there were only ten Martial Venerables from the Righteous Path and Demonic Path added together.
Compared to the great battle against the Heavenly Demon a hundred years ago, the number of Martial Venerables was much lower.
And this time, Heavenly Demon Ye's return would not be like the time when he was not fully recovered from his injuries in Zhengyang City.
But it was not without good news.
Putting aside the special identity of Chen Luoyang and the Venerables' disciples, their strength was beyond the Martial Saint's. On the other hand, the Empress of East Zhou's strength must have improved greatly after the trip to the Emperor's Mausoleum.
She was already surpassing the old Sword Immortal and the other seniors, and this time, she must have improved even more.
"This time, it will be even better if the Xian Tian Palace can also participate." Island Master Fusang said slowly.
Heavenly Phoenix was an existence even stronger than Mr. Tianji.
If they could participate in the battle, the number of experts attacking Heavenly Demon Ye might not be the same as before, but the quality of the experts would be much higher.
It was very difficult to ensure that they could kill and not just defeat a top expert, and at the same time, their own side would suffer minimal casualties.
Or, there must be a special way to weaken the opponent.
Just like the time when Blood River Patriarch plotted against Mr. Tianji, or when Chen Luoyang used the black mirror and black coffin to kill the injured Han Shang and Cheng Hui.
Or, there must be enough experts besieging him, and there must be a top expert who could fight against the target to face the greatest pressure.
Back when they besieged Blood River Patriarch, there was the Empress of East Zhou, whose cultivation level was on the same level as the Blood River Patriarch. Even so, Blood River Patriarch almost escaped, and it was all thanks to Sword Master North Dark, Zhu Zun's interception.
The Ancient God Palace, Green Bull Temple, Misery, and Ancient God Palace had put in a total of six to seven top Martial Saint experts to kill the Setting Sun King Zheng Chi. Not to mention, there must be a top ten Martial Saint like the Heart Abandoning Demon Monk. Otherwise, the number of experts participating in the battle would increase and there might be more casualties.
From a certain point of view, in such situations, quality was more important than quantity.
The reason why there were so many casualties in the battle against the Heavenly Demon was mainly due to the lack of someone who could fight against the old demon head-on and hold him back.
Now, although the number of people participating in the battle might be less, the existence of the Empress of East Zhou and Heavenly Phoenix added some variables to the situation.
"Although there are conflicts in the Mortal Emperor Tomb, if the old demon does not take the initiative to provoke Heavenly Phoenix, Heavenly Phoenix will not participate in the battle," Abbot Fa Kong pondered and said, "Unless, we can set the battlefield in Xian Tian Palace."
