Chapter 925: A Scheme

The Flying Immortal Great Emperor led the people of the Heavenly Sword Dynasty away first, while other Immortal Forces also departed one after another. In the end, the crowd dispersed, and the events at the Heavenly Medicine Blessed Land finally came to a complete end.

However, the aftermath of this incident did not cease but instead grew more intense as the news spread.

The Heavenly Medicine Blessed Land opens once every nine thousand years, filled with Spiritual Medicine everywhere, countless Medicine Kings, and even the legendary Immortality Medicine. It is the sacred land of cultivation in the hearts of countless people.

This time, as many as one hundred thousand people entered the Heavenly Medicine Blessed Land, but only thirty thousand came out alive, with a loss of nearly seventy percent of the personnel.

Among them, many famous and renowned talents and strong figures fell within the Blessed Land, causing great astonishment and shock among countless people.

"It’s too tragic. The battle loss is almost seventy percent. Isn’t the Heavenly Medicine Blessed Land supposed to be filled with Spiritual Medicine everywhere? Why is there such a high mortality rate?"

"I heard that the Spiritual Medicine within the Heavenly Medicine Blessed Land has become refined, possessing intelligence. Among them are Medicine Kings and Medicine Saints, comparable to Supreme Realm and Saint Realm strong figures. As for Immortality Medicine, it’s akin to Great Saints and Quasi-Emperors in existence."

"However, I think this high mortality rate is certainly not solely due to the Spiritual Medicine within the Heavenly Medicine Blessed Land. Most of it should be caused by mutual conflicts to seize them. After all, there, killing to seize treasures leads to extraordinary spoils!"

Regarding the Heavenly Medicine Blessed Land, many have no right to enter, only hearing about it from ancient texts and gossip.

But the battle loss reaching seventy percent is quite shocking. At this moment, various speculations abound, with many versions existing, though their accuracy remains to be verified.

"This time, even geniuses couldn’t walk out alive from the Heavenly Medicine Blessed Land. Many Imperial Sons and Emperor’s Daughters from Immortal Forces have perished."

"I heard about this too. Allegedly, it was all done by someone named Black Demon. This Black Demon is quite extraordinary, even attracting Saintly Tribulation Thunder. Thereafter, he could slay Imperial Sons and Emperor’s Daughters, and even under the alliance of four Immortal Forces, he counter-killed over twenty Saints, eventually escaping unscathed."

"There’s gossip saying this Black Demon is the nineteenth prince of the Heavenly Sword Dynasty, but I don’t believe it. The disparities between the nineteenth prince and Black Demon are too significant."

The name of Black Demon not only resonates within the Heavenly Medicine Blessed Land but also spreads across the entire Central Plains, becoming known by countless people, with ongoing discussions.

Among them, the suspicion from Flame Calamity Saint towards Su Han has become a focal point, unfortunately receiving little agreement, as the disparity between Black Demon and the nineteenth prince is too great, making it hard for people to associate them together.

Furthermore, Black Demon’s strength is formidable, having instantly killed the Ninth Layer Saint Realm’s Xun Gua Saint. Although relying on the Great Emperor’s Treasure, Black Demon’s own strength cannot be underestimated.

The Nineteenth Prince is merely at the Third Layer Saint Realm, the strength difference is substantial, hence the public doesn’t very much believe this suspicion.

Regardless, the Heavenly Medicine Blessed Land incident has become the most talked about topic recently in Central Plains, with the name of Black Demon circulating among people’s mouths.

At this moment, the release of a piece of news once again ignited the entire Central Plains.

King Yama’s Palace, Bagua Imperial Palace, Dugu Imperial Clan, Ancient Chu Family, the four Immortal Forces have once again formed the Demon Slaying Alliance, announcing plans to find and exterminate Black Demon.

This time, not only did the four Immortal Forces lose face, but they also lost their meticulously nurtured Imperial Sons and Emperor’s Daughters, besides suffering numerous casualties among Saints.

For Immortal Forces, these losses are damaging, and all of it is thanks to Black Demon. Therefore, they openly formed the Demon Slaying Alliance, vowing not to rest until Black Demon is slain.

"This is serious. Any single one of these four Immortal Forces can shake the Central Plains just by stomping their feet. Now that four Immortal Forces join forces, who can stop them?"

"If I were Black Demon, I’d start hiding away like a turtle from now on. Such a powerful lineup spells death if he dares to show himself!"

"Indeed, but it doesn’t concern us much. They are looking for those who entered the Heavenly Medicine Blessed Land. We’ll just sit back and watch."

The announcement of the Demon Slaying Alliance shocked countless people, also pushing the name of Black Demon to the peak.

And as one of the suspects, Su Han naturally received much attention.

Although there is no concrete evidence to prove Su Han as Black Demon, amidst deliberate public opinion manipulation, the notion of Black Demon being the nineteenth prince intensifies.

Within the Dugu Imperial Clan, the Dugu Great Emperor summoned Flame Calamity Saint alone.

"Clan leader, I’ve followed your instructions and sent people across to stir up public opinion, targeting the nineteenth prince."

Flame Calamity Saint reported respectfully, with only one intact right arm now, his grievance concentrated on Su Han.

"You’ve done well, continue to manipulate public opinion. Whether or not he is Black Demon, we must label him as such."

"This person killed our clan’s Demon Swordsman and seized the White Tiger Immortality Elixir, now his strength is advancing rapidly. Presently, the Heavenly Sword Dynasty has both the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince and him, while our clan’s Imperial Son has perished. If we cannot suppress them, in the next generation’s contention, our clan will completely lose its chance."

The Dugu Great Emperor’s gaze was sinister. His true target wasn’t Su Han but the Flying Immortal Great Emperor. However, the battle of Great Emperors isn’t easily initiated, besides which he knows he might not be the Flying Immortal Great Emperor’s match, hence he targets Su Han and the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince instead.

This is a perfect opportunity, using the name of Black Demon to unite the other three Immortal Forces and form the Demon Slaying Alliance.

This Demon Slaying Alliance is a blade wielded by Great Emperor Realm powerhouses to eliminate threats. This blade can cut down Su Han, the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince, and other talents.

As long as Black Demon is not eliminated, they can continue their attacks.

The loss of Imperial Sons and Emperor’s Daughters is truly painful, but the grand strategy is akin to chess. When one’s pieces are lost, one must also capture the opponent’s pieces to maintain balance and continue the game; otherwise, it’s a defeat.

"Rest assured, clan leader, this time I won’t fail again!"

Flame Calamity Saint’s eyes sparkled with hatred, stemming from the mockery by Black Demon and the arm severed by the Flying Immortal Great Emperor’s sword, becoming his greatest motivation.

"Go!"

The Dugu Great Emperor waved his hand, and Flame Calamity Saint wisely withdrew.

"Flying Immortal Great Emperor, you are too arrogant. This time, using Black Demon as a trigger, I want to erase you from this world!"

The Dugu Great Emperor stood with hands behind his back, his eyes filled with overwhelming killing intent.

The Demon Slaying Alliance isn’t just for exterminating Black Demon; it’s a scheme targeting the Flying Immortal Great Emperor.

A mere Black Demon isn’t much. The Dugu Great Emperor’s real target is the Flying Immortal Great Emperor.

This time, leveraging the opportunity of the Demon Slaying Alliance, he aims to unite with the other three Great Emperors. Once successfully united, the Flying Immortal Great Emperor will be close to demise.
