Chapter 1043: Chapter 563: Advancing to Vientiane Realm Late Stage! Return to Chaotic Demon Sea! (2)
"Leader, why is there no movement at all?"
A quiet inquiry came from among the dozen or so slowly advancing figures.
The head of the group, a Great Demon of the Transformation Realm, slapped the one who had just spoken and said coldly, "Keep your voice down!"
"Who knows if this is a trick of the Human Clan, trying to make us lower our guard!"
Before he finished speaking, he was horrified to find someone had appeared in front of him at some unknown time, dressed in white, standing like a spear, with just one glance bringing immense pressure to his heart.
"Jiang... Jiang Taixuan?"
Jiang Shu’s name echoed throughout the Demon Race, with many demons even unaware of the titles of human Supreme Sect Leaders, but they had heard of Jiang Shu’s name, his portrait circulated on the Demon Clan Continent, claiming him to be a fallen star bringing calamity.
He turned to flee, but was killed in an instant, leaving only a wisp of the soul to survive, which Jiang Shu captured to learn what had happened in recent times.
The Human Race Daoist Venerable struck, forcibly shattering the barrier between the Two Realms, allowing profound-level human experts to enter the fray and engage in an epic battle with the Demon Race’s Demon Venerable.
No one knew who emerged victorious, but afterward, the Human Clan advanced into the Chaotic Demon Sea, engaging the Demon Race in a stalemate.
The demon army’s morale was already in shambles.
Moreover, within the Demon Race, there had already been several rebellions, claiming that the Demon Race had already been defeated by the Human Clan, and there’s no point in resisting desperately; it would be simpler to surrender, and maybe the Human Clan would show leniency for their clear-headedness.
However, such things were mere laughs.
How could the Demon Race possibly surrender?
During this time, the Demon Race Venerables in Panhai City of the Chaotic Demon Sea keenly noticed that many negative remarks emerged in the city, inevitably saying that the Human Clan had gained the upper hand, and various tribes should accumulate strength during this time, in case the Demon Race did fall, they could possibly rise again.
They knew every major power’s leader had such thoughts.
But these remarks were somewhat odd.
Upon careful investigation, they found these messages seemed to originate from the lowliest Half-demons.
"Where did the Half-demons come from with any foundation, it’s nothing but the Human Clan taming these spineless things to disrupt morale!"
A Demon Monarch remarked thus.
Yet everyone understood the situation was dire for the Demon Race.
These fellows were scouts sent by a Demon Monarch, unexpectedly entering Jiang Shu’s detection range instead of discovering the Human Clan’s encampment.
"Sounds like things are looking good."
Jiang Shu casually crushed the remaining soul, with a smile on his face, he charged towards the depths of the Chaotic Demon Sea.
He sensed some subtle aura.
It was from the Human Clan’s Great Array.
This was a tactical force led by the Dao Yi Sect’s True Disciple, comprised of over a hundred disciples from lesser major powers, hidden in the most dangerous spot, poised to transform into a razor-sharp edge upon receiving orders from the rear, piercing the heart of the Demon Race.
They were well-equipped, with a team of precisely one hundred carrying five Heavenly Rank Treasures for protection, and practiced joint attack skills, their combat power equating to a Demon Monarch Middle Stage powerhouse.
At this moment, one scout in the team saw a streak of light approaching from afar, but in the blink of an eye, it arrived before him.
The shout of "Enemy attack" almost reached his throat, but he took a closer look to see it was a person of the Human Race.
"I am True Martial Jiang Taixuan."
Jiang Shu was quite satisfied with their caution, taking out the token representing his identity, blending it into the Great Array, instantly drawing all eyes towards himself.
"Brother Taixuan?"
"It’s Daoist Monarch Taixuan!"
"Wasn’t Jiang Taixuan deep in the Demon Domain? Is this him returning from the Demon Domain?"
In the midst of the war, life and death occurred daily.
Numerous prodigies gained fame within.
And Jiang Shu was the most renowned prodigy in this war.
His fame even surpassed some veteran Daoist Monarchs of the Vientiane Realm, shocking disciples of the Eight Great Sects.
He personally turned the tide in the Ancient Demon Sect Relics, many in this group owed Jiang Shu favors, and added to his immense contributions within the Demon Race on behalf of the Human Clan, his reputation soared to its peak, indisputably the leader of the younger generation.
Strong in power, unwavering Dao Heart.
Not to mention that this time, the Eight Great Sects quickly extended into the Chaotic Demon Sea, with Jiang Shu as the true vanguard on the frontline!
"Brother Taixuan, long time no see."
The speaker was a True Disciple from Dao Yi Sect, the leader of this force, he had met in the Ancient Demon Sect Relics.
"Wu Wang, your cultivation has broken through again."
Faced with friendly courtesy, Jiang Shu naturally reciprocated with politeness.
"I encountered a formidable foe within the Demon Domain, after escaping, I found a secluded place to recover, upon awakening I discovered we had entered the Chaotic Demon Sea, but saw no sign of the main force, luckily sensed obscure fluctuations from the formation, thus I came."
"Do you know where the True Martial Sect is currently located?"
After casually chatting, Jiang Shu swiftly got to the point.
Their arrays had attack, defense, and detection functions integrated, only sect disciples possessing their life tokens could enter, hence no doubt about Jiang Shu’s identity.
Wu Wang directly replied, "Brother Taixuan is not aware, after entering the Chaotic Demon Sea, we faced relentless assaults from the Demon Race, thus the Supreme Sect Leaders ordered the army to remain stationed outside, with just us elites secretly infiltrating."
"Here are the precise coordinates of the army, Brother only needs to follow the instructions to locate the army."
"During this time, the Supreme Sect Leaders have been seeking Brother Taixuan, if Brother has no urgent matter, he should return; the junior disciples are eager for Brother’s presence."
Wu Wang, pleased upon seeing Jiang Shu, shared a joke which elicited laughter from the group.
Jiang Shu was also delighted, nodding in agreement.
Without delay, he bid farewell and with a step, vanished before everyone’s eyes.
"To what extent has Brother Taixuan’s Dao Practice reached, he only broke through to the Vientiane Realm a few years ago, now his depth is unfathomable?"
Another disciple from the Eight Great Sects sighed.
"Achievement in life or death, enlightenment in the face of peril."
"If we emulate Brother’s example, perhaps we’d attain something."
"However, before enlightenment, we might perish at the hands of Demon Race powerhouses."
Upon the Human Clan’s invasion of the Chaotic Demon Sea, their first task was locating Jiang Shu, yet after many months, they garnered no results.
Rumors within the Demon Race claimed Jiang Shu had been killed by a Demon powerhouse.
Though they had no evidence, the long absence of Daoist Monarch Taixuan inevitably gave rise to worries.
In the end, Daoist Monarch Taixuan’s master, Purple Extreme Daoist Venerable, personally clarified that Daoist Monarch Taixuan Jiang Shu had battled fiercely with the Demon Venerable Avatar, got gravely injured, and was recovering in a secluded location, quelling the rumors.
Truly a deep bond of master and disciple, their used excuse uncannily identical.
Though the Eight Great Sects’ top echelons never ceased their search for Jiang Shu; they combed through the entire Chaotic Demon Sea, even exploring the abyssal depths, yet still failed to find his trace.
This made them anxious, fearing the possibility he had indeed been suppressed and killed by a Demon Race powerhouse.
"Where has this kid run off to, could he truly still be deep in the Demon Domain?"
Upon an island, the True Martial Sect’s formation pulsed with life.
In the grand hall at the center, the Supreme Sect Leader frowned, inquisitively turning to the side’s Purple Extreme Daoist Venerable.
