Chapter 810: Chapter 389: Green Fiend Branch Master, Infiltrating the Merchant Guild

Upon learning this news, Wen Jiu’s heart was not stirred, for he knew this day would inevitably come.

But another message from Wuxinming caught his attention—the attack on Donghua Immortal City was carried out by just one person.

Not in the Late Stage of Golden Core.

A Late Stage Golden Core cannot break the grand array of Donghua Immortal City.

There is only one possibility then, that the one who acted is a Golden Core Perfection existence.

However, according to a Golden Core Zhenren who witnessed everything, the attacker was neither from the Demon Dao nor the Heterodox Dao.

It was a Righteous Path!

It was the Five Elements True Method that was used.

A sword-shaped magical artifact was wielded.

"It’s not that Demon Lord after all," Wen Jiu fell into deep thought.

The Demon Lord of the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect is truly a demon cultivator, beyond doubt, as those who’ve seen him act can attest.

Turning from the Righteous Path to Demon Dao can happen in an instant of thought.

But for a Demon Dao to re-enter the Righteous Path is harder than ascending to heaven.

So the possibility of that Demon Lord acting can be completely ruled out.

"Then, those who could possibly act would only be the Domain Lords of the Four Domains, who are all righteous cultivators.

Next would be the few Vice Sect Leaders of the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, but they are most likely either Heterodox Dao or Demon Dao.

The possibility of being righteous is very small.

Lastly, there is the Branch Master of the Cyan Demon Lineage.

The Cyan Demon Lineage’s Branch Master is mysterious, no one knows his true identity or real prowess, but given the nature of the Cyan Demon Lineage.

Perhaps this Branch Master truly exists within the Righteous Path.

Also practicing the Golden Core Five Elements True Method.

From what Wuxinming knows, it might indeed be possible that this is the Cyan Demon Lineage’s Branch Master.

After all, the techniques used and the artifact wielded were unseen by anyone.

Techniques and artifacts are easily hidden.

But Golden Core Magical Power is hard to hide or change; at most, it can be concealed when not using techniques, much like Du Yueqing.

When truly using techniques and artifacts, hiding means will dissipate.

This is why the cultivators of the West Mountain Floating Domain never suspect the one using Spirit-Extinguishing Ghost Qi and Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi are the same person.

In this light, the most likely suspect may really be this Cyan Demon Lineage’s Branch Master.

The cultivators of East Splendor Divine Palace are concerned with the True Spirit Divine Tree Mother Tree, the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, to prevent the Mother Tree from leaving the Four Domains, went so far as to mobilize the whole sect to blockade the Four Domains.

It further involved the entire demon path in the Lifeless Abyss region of the Four Domains.

Now, to let the long-hidden Branch Master of the Cyan Demon Lineage act for the sake of the cultivators of East Splendor Divine Palace, is entirely reasonable."

Having figured this out, Wen Jiu put away his thoughts.

Outsiders can’t see through or understand it.

But knowing the underlying logic of the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect’s actions, seeing through all this is no difficult matter for him.

"Never thought that even the Branch Master of the Cyan Demon Lineage is a Golden Core Perfection Cultivator.

Even if hiding his cultivation normally, he’s probably a top presence in the West Mountain Floating Domain, such a nail in the West Mountain Floating Domain.

It’s unlikely for the West Mountain Floating Domain to not fall."

Wen Jiu couldn’t help but sigh.

But thinking that he has the East Spring Undying Bone by his side predicting favorable fortune, he’s not too concerned about this so-called Branch Master of the Cyan Demon Lineage.

At present, he is merely curious about the true identity of the Branch Master of the Cyan Demon Lineage, and his location.

Unfortunately.

The Corpse Fate Technique can’t accomplish this.

Unless Three Thousand Blood Inks also reach Tier Three Peak.

Otherwise, it’s very difficult.

After all, for someone to hide for such a long time, he must have a powerful celestial secret magical artifact at hand, striving to uncover it is by no means easy.

Wen Jiu retrieved his thoughts, looking towards the direction of the Lifeless Abyss.

"Since Donghua Immortal City has been moved, the Demon Lord of the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect’s attention should soon return to the Lifeless Abyss.

The Four Domains is a difficult path.

It’s not hard to guess that Du Yueqing and they want to leave the Four Domains, risking the life-threatening journey through the Lifeless Abyss."

...

Lifeless Abyss.

After the black ship entered the Lifeless Abyss, it went straight to the territory of the Night Demon Sect, a land of death rarely inhabited for cultivation.

The Land of Death is perilous, even for a Golden Core Cultivator entering, there is a risk of perishing; hence the cultivators of East Splendor Divine Palace gathered here.

Ten days later, after numerous outings by Yin Xuan, he finally brought all the cultivators of East Splendor Divine Palace into the Land of Death.

When everyone was gathered, Du Yueqing still did not reveal her true face; only Master Witch and two others came out to preside over the situation.

According to master witch and their plan, they will next travel on a ship across a million miles of land.

Along the way, they will pass various Heterodox Dao and Demon Dao territories, encountering various interrogations.

Thus, to be safe, they will once again take a risk and infiltrate into the Demon Path Commerce Association, disguising themselves as one of them.

The risk is tremendous.

Once betrayed, they will be at an impasse.

But presently, only the Demon Path Commerce Association can traverse a million miles in the Lifeless Abyss without drawing attention.

If in the name of the Night Demon Sect, it’s feared that after merely one or two hundred thousand miles, the news would have spread to the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect.

After all, the mission of the Night Demon Sect is to attack the West Mountain Floating Domain, not to assist other demon sects millions of miles away.

The next day, under Yin Xuan’s piloting, the black ship crossed barren black mountains and traversed the ravine-filled plains to reach a city shrouded in white light.

Inside and outside the city were Heterodox Dao and Demon Dao cultivators, but fortunately, the black ship was concealed by an array, hence it did not draw notice.

"Below Golden Core, don’t leave the cabin; even above Golden Core, don’t leave the ship," Yin Xuan coldly reminded, then quickly departed with Du Yueqing disguised as a demon cultivator.

As Yin Xuan left, Gongyang Fu boldly came to the deck, peering through the array at the daunting demon path city.

Seeing Gongyang Fu move, many Golden Core Zhenren also successively came out of their chambers.

From a distance, Black City looked like a monster entrenched in the Lifeless Abyss, from which endless demonic roars and the wails of human cultivators kept echoing, as if a blunt knife were cutting into everyone’s hearts, constantly pulling.
