Demon Sword Sect's Undercover

Chapter 1096: Sea Demon Traces Amidst the Flower Ocean


For two days in a row, Hou Niao had no discoveries.

On the third day, there were extraordinarily many cultivators at the stele, apart from Zhao Xintong, Luo Yewang, and Ying Daoist, inexplicably gathered here were about a dozen cultivators.

In the previous days, everyone came at staggered times, but today it seemed like they were all agreed to meet.

Hou Niao felt a sense of joy in his heart, it's good to have everyone come together, saves him from the repeated hassle.

...Luo Yewang couple again came to the stele, although their strength was average among Golden Core, both in early stages of cultivation, yet they possessed the intuition that comes with being a Golden Core cultivator.

Just like today, the sudden increase of unfamiliar cultivators made the two very alert, hoping for something to happen.

They were not too worried about themselves, because the Heavenly Heart Pavilion was so close, close enough that if a fight broke out, pavilion cultivators would arrive within ten breaths, how bad could it get?

"That female cultivator is still there, she almost comes every day. I guess she's rooted in Taihao, proficient in divination, preparing to calculate who exactly will break the barrier of Jinxiu Heaven and Earth in the future?" Luo Yewang had observed this female cultivator for a long time, and considered it some gain.

Ying Daoist dismissed it, "What's the point of guessing? Wrong guesses are embarrassing, correct guesses shorten life. Taihao Sect have their own unique aspects in divination, don't understand such simple reasoning? I'm amazed that skinny fellow seems to have not visited for a few days?"

Luo Yewang found it strange, "But replaced by a sharp-faced monkey-like one. Ying Sister, I sense that today's arrivals aren't to be trifled with. You better hold your tongue, don't provoke them lightly."

They discussed privately here, people around the stele slowly gathered into a group.

Among the group, there were evidently two parts, familiar with those of the same part,

The leader of the group of five was very polite, "How do the three Daoists do? May I ask your names?"

The leader of the trio appeared very wary, "My humble name is not worth mentioning, I am Hei Fu, these two are Old Bai and Chu Shanke, and you, Daoist?"

The five opposite displayed their aura, though they didn't introduce themselves deliberately, the aura display here was far more authentic than just stating three nicknames,

Hei Fu had some understanding, "So, disciples of The Three Pure Ones, may I ask why you've blocked us here?"

The leader, Zhi Xuan, chuckled lightly, "Passing by occasionally, where's the blockade? But meeting by chance, it's rather fate; why not accompany each other for mutual confirmation?"

Hei Fu sighed, "I wondered how Six God didn't come, perhaps caught by fellow Daoists in Northwest, now are you following the clues?"

Zhi Xuan shook his head and smiled, "Daoist, you misunderstand, no need for riddles between us. The universe cultivation realm's rules are understood by all. After the beast tide, there's no grievance between us, where's the story of pursuing? Merely wish to talk to Daoist. If the talk goes well, your friend Six God will be released, it's not a life-and-death enmity demanding each other's demise."

Such figures spoke, generally not making light promises, being willing to say such meant they weren't deceitful; Hei Fu was somewhat tempted, realizing there's always a solution needed for this matter, the beast tide enlightened him that simply relying on demon beast forces to achieve a purpose on Jinxiu Continent was likely difficult.

"Thus, Daoist do ask, Hei Fu won't conceal, actually in some matters, we might share common ground, no need to compete till death, what can be gained ultimately?"

Zhi Xuan pondered for a moment, deciding to cooperate once with these outer space demon clans, which amongst the universe cultivation realm wasn't a new thing; between species, survival struggled, convenience united, distance opposed, the eternal rhythm of hundreds of thousands of years.

"So be it, I heard Six God say, in this beast tide, there are hidden circumstances, could Brother Hei enlighten me?"

In the Northwest battle, Southeast Daoist's intent never aimed at exterminating undead beings; first, it wasn't fundamental, second, it wasn't achievable, thus the true plan was to create a war atmosphere, the core goal was capturing an outer space demon.

Their true purpose was unraveling the direction of their mission after arriving in Jinxiu, on this point, they were more anxious than indigenous cultivators like Hou Niao, as their roots were not here.

Dozens of extraordinary upper realm Daoists utilized magical methods, meticulously arranged, indeed caught an undead demon, which was the Six God mentioned.

But Six God had a tough mouth. Generally, demon clans had tough mouths, as undead beings, humans' threats were limited, supposed torture methods didn't work at all.

All these years, Six God remained silent, so Daoists changed tactics, shifting from opposition to cooperation, obtaining the only useful piece of information from Six God's mouth, leading them to try their luck at Heavenly Heart Pavilion.

Six God couldn't represent demon clans personally, although desiring freedom, only allies truly representing demon clans could decide.

Now, everything went smoothly, they suitably met Hei Fu's group, both sides restrained, which laid the cooperation foundation.

"This time everyone came to Jinxiu Continent with individual objectives, but what exactly those objectives are, we don't even know, this we understand, Daoist should be clear in mind too."

Concerning Hei Fu's words, Daoists didn't suspect, it's impossible a shocking secret known by all demon clans yet not by top cultivation forces of humanity like The Three Pure Ones? Nor Buddhist Sect?

If demon clans possessed such capacity, they would have unified the universe long ago given their numbers.

Hei Fu continued, "However, in this aspect, we demon clans have an edge over you humans; humans rely on judgment, knowledge, experience, history to act, but our demon clans rely on instinct, so we might not know the cause but understand roughly how to avoid the worst possible outcome for this mission."

This delineated the differences between humans and demon clans' positions in the universe cultivation realm, even if demon clans were unsuited for learning, their instincts told them what to do without needing to understand why, details inside.

Why Zhi Xuan and companions wished to cooperate was due to this reason, believing fusing demon clans' instincts with human's meticulous judgment would at least prove better than current obscurity.

Everyone was tired of living amid speculation, longing for clarity.

Hei Fu uttered each word carefully, "The key lies here, in the Heavenly Heart Pavilion, on the sealing list, destroy it, we can attain liberation."
