Chapter 369: The Terrible Manifestation
It was the new year of the human race.
The entire Devil Sect was decorated with lanterns and colored banners. It was a joyous and harmonious scene.
Even many demon disciples came to join in the fun.
Inside and outside the Devil Sect, many markets were built overnight. Many disciples took advantage of the high traffic and set up stalls to sell spiritual treasures and exchange cultivation resources.
On the Muye Immortal Boat, the lights were bright and there was laughter.
Zhao Mu did not feel much about the new year, but the atmosphere was good. He still invited the upper echelons of the Devil Sect to gather together and held a family banquet to reward them according to their contributions.
After a night of fun, before dawn the next day, Zhao Mu left early with a few family members and headed to Zhao Country.
Since it was the new year, he had to go back and visit his parents and friends.
With the transportation portal, it took less than two hours for Zhao Mu to arrive at the Zhao Country's imperial palace.
After meeting his parents and brother, Zhao Mu went to visit the little princess, Zhao Qingxi.
Zhao Mu did not have any feelings for this childhood sweetheart. It was just the memories of his predecessor that caused him to have a unique feeling for Zhao Qingxi. However, as Zhao Mu's strength continued to grow, his soul grew stronger day by day. He no longer had any connection with his predecessor. His memories and thoughts could no longer affect Zhao Mu.
After all, Zhao Mu's flesh and soul had undergone a transformation. It was as if he had become a completely different person.
Of course, with this relationship, Zhao Mu would definitely protect Zhao Qingxi for the rest of her life. He would help her improve her cultivation potential so that she could live happily under his protection.
After a private meeting with the little princess, Zhao Mu began to get busy.
Other than visiting his family, the main reason for returning to Zhao Country this time was that the land of danger was about to descend. The secular world might fall into chaos. He had to set up a protective barrier in the Zhao Country's imperial palace to ensure the safety of his family.
In addition, Zhao Mu had to set up a transportation portal in the imperial palace to connect it to the Devil Sect.
This way, if anything happened, the Devil Sect could immediately come to Zhao Country's rescue.
During this period, Shi Man even came to look for Zhao Mu once. This former Empress, who was now the Protector of the Nation, had also embarked on the path of cultivation.
Although she was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, her talent was surprisingly good and there was value in nurturing her. Zhao Mu gave her a share of the teleportation array so that Shi Man could find time to cultivate in the Devil Sect for a period of time. If the results were good, she could stay in the Devil Sect for a long time.
When Shi Rui heard the news, she was overjoyed. That night, she sneaked into Zhao Mu's residence with Shi Man. What happened next was needless to say.
After staying in the State of Zhao for a few days, Zhao Mu returned to the Devil Sect.
There were less than three months of peace left. He had to make good use of the time to increase his strength.
In the morning, he would farm for Alchemy Experience Points. In the afternoon, he would farm for Weapon Refinement Experience Points. At night, he would farm for Sun Divine Body.
When the spiritual herbs in the Divine Soil Space matured, he would harvest them.
Refining elixirs and artifacts for strategic storage.
He continued to recruit more disciples.
In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
On this day, the earth suddenly trembled. Earth-Shaking sounds came from all directions, as if ghosts from hell were crawling out.
In an instant, green light shot into the sky from all parts of the Immortal Martial Continent. Death Qi and resentment spread everywhere. Wherever it went, life withered and flowers withered.
Miasma covered the sky. It appeared in the north, south, and middle of the border between the Demon Forest and the Human Plains.
The Ominous Lands in the south were a hundred thousand miles away from the Saint Prime Devil Sect.
This was exactly the same as the information provided by Venerable Mo En.
It seemed that the Buddhists had some skills after all. They could even detect the location of the Ominous Lands in advance.
On the Muye Immortal Vessel.
Zhao Mu felt the strong aura of death coming from the north. He shook his head and sighed.
"In the end, it's here."
Although he was fully prepared, if possible, Zhao Mu still hoped that the Ominous Lands would not appear.
This time, the three Ominous Lands had appeared in deserted places. As long as they could be suppressed in a short period of time, they would not bring much harm to the human world.
But the next time, and the time after that, it was hard to say.
Once the Ominous Lands appeared near the cities, even if they were prepared in advance, they could not avoid a large number of casualties.
The death toll could easily be in the millions.
But this was not something he could decide.
Let's not think too much about it. Let's deal with these three dangerous places first.
"We can go now."
Luo Xuanji appeared beside Zhao Mu without any warning.
Her gaze was sharp, and her aura reached its peak.
Zhao Mu nodded and stepped on the Clear Sky Sword. After bidding farewell to the people behind him, he headed north with Luo Xuanji.
The dangerous places were unpredictable, and even Tribulation Transcendence experts would find it difficult to deal with them. Zhao Mu didn't bring anyone, and only formed a team with Empress Providence.
But the disciples of the Devil Sect wouldn't be idle either.
Next, a large number of elite disciples of the Devil Sect would head north one after another under the leadership of the elders to surround the dangerous places.
In addition, this was also a rare opportunity for actual combat practice. It could be used to train the new disciples, boost their courage, and broaden their horizons.
This was Bai Muxue's suggestion. Although there were definitely risks in doing so, there was not enough time for the disciples to slowly grow in the current chaotic world. The fastest way for a new recruit to become a veteran was to personally experience a battle.
Deaths and injuries were inevitable, but those who could calmly face the danger and survive would become the mainstay of the Devil Sect.
Bai Muxue had put in a lot of effort, and Zhao Mu naturally agreed.
Soon, Zhao Mu and Luo Xuanji arrived near the dangerous places.
When they were still more than a thousand miles away, Zhao Mu saw that the sky was dyed gray, and the world seemed to have lost its color. A cold, gray, and deathly aura assaulted his face.
This was originally the border of the Demon Forest, and the vegetation was lush and huge trees could be seen everywhere.
But now, everywhere he looked, there were withered branches and rotten leaves. It was completely different from the green and vibrant scene of the past.
To a certain extent, the dangerous places were poisonous sores that grew on the Immortal Martial Continent.
If not stopped, the poisonous sores would continue to spread until the entire Immortal Martial Continent became a land of death.
"The Uncanny Dao Boundary has sealed the Immortal Martial Continent for so many years, and the consequences are finally showing."
Luo Xuanji sighed.
"The demons are one step ahead of us."
Zhao Mu swept his gaze over and discovered that three Demon Race Supremes had arrived ahead of time.
They were the supreme demon of the Wolf Clan, Lang Muya.
The supreme demon of the Sparrow Clan, Bai Ling.
The supreme being of the Ladle Clan, Six Jia Xing.
When the three Demon Venerables saw Zhao Mu, their attitude was quite friendly and polite. They even nodded to greet her.
Instead, he glared fiercely at Luo Xuanji.
"Do you have a grudge?" Zhao Mu asked.
Luo Xuanji smiled coldly, "Back then, I personally led the Wu Xiang Nation's army into the depths of the Thousand Demons Forest and annihilated many of their clansmen. Especially that ladybug, his entire tribe was almost wiped out by me."
"Ladybug?"
Only then did Zhao Mu realize that the Supreme-Being of the Demon Clan called Six Star was actually a Six Star Ladybug.
It was rare for an insect to cultivate into a demon, let alone one that had reached the level of a Celestial Being.
"Hmph, I never would have thought that one day, I would fall to the point where I have to work with the Demon Clan."
At this moment, a cold voice with a hint of arrogance could be heard.
Zhao Mu looked over and saw a little fairy flying over. She was dressed in a celestial silk dress with an ink-colored muslin covering her shoulders. She was stepping on a light beam and had a white hairpin on her head.
Celestial Realm.
And it was a human Celestial Realm expert that Zhao Mu had never seen before.
Of the five supreme demons of the Human Clan that Zhao Mu had never seen before, only Fairy Ning Hua was left.
However, Zhao Mu could not be sure at the moment. After all, the Human Clan had many hidden Celestial Beings.
"Luo Ning Hua, aren't you obsessed with cultivation? Why are you here?" Luo Xuanji confirmed the identity of the little fairy as soon as he spoke.
She was indeed the Inverted Hanging Mountain's sect master, Fairy Ning Hua.
She was also Zhao Mu's new disciple, Ning Shuang.
As expected, she would not miss such an occasion.
