Another new suffix, demonic qi berserk.
His gaze was solemn as he looked at the dozen demon beasts in front of him. All of them had the strength of the middle stage of the foundation establishment stage.
These dozen Night Shadow Wolves looked at Su Yi greedily, the fury in their eyes was even more extreme.
As if they could not wait any longer, when one of the wolves started to move, the other night shadow wolves also started to move together.
There was a line that circled around Su Yi, but they did not pounce on him immediately.
This meant that these demon beasts had retained some of their consciousness, unlike those demon beasts that had been corroded by the demonic qi and lost their rationality.
However, logically speaking, in this Demon Subduing Mountain range, most of the demon beasts were at the early stage of the foundation establishment realm. Why would there be so many mid-stage foundation establishment realm beasts here?
Could it be that it was because of the berserk changes of the demonic qi?
What had happened in the Demon Subduing Mountain range in the days after he left this place?
He did not know if the Nie family had paid attention to the news that he asked those Nie family servants to send back.
Just as he was thinking, he saw those wolves suddenly pounce towards him.
Seeing this, he let out a light snort, and a cold light condensed on his fingertip as he shouted in a low voice.
“Since you want to die, then don’t blame me!”
…
In the manor of the city governor of the Central Plains.
This was a manor that was even more magnificent than Qinyang City.
The white and smooth gate was made of white marble, and the imposing and powerful signboard hung high above the gate.
In the manor of the city governor, a garret that broke through the horizon rose up from the ground. It was the Sky-reaching Garret.
However, at this moment, Ji Tongtian, the city governor of Central Plains City, was waiting for something in the conference hall.
The decoration of the hall was not very luxurious, but it was solemn enough. It seemed that this place was not a place for pleasure, but a place for business.
However, he did not wait for long. Soon, some people arrived one after another.
All of them were dressed in luxurious robes. Some of them were filled with heroic spirit and sharpness.
Ji Tongtian waved his hand and said indifferently when he saw that there were people who had just arrived. “Everyone, please take a seat.”
Those who had arrived did not stand on ceremony and each of them found a seat to sit down. One of them looked at Ji Tongtian and said indifferently, “City Lord Ji, why have you summoned us here? Is there something important?”
The tone of this person could be said to be extremely arrogant, as though Ji Tongtian, who was the city lord of the Central Plains, was not worthy of respect.
This person was none other than the person-in-charge of the Thousand Treasures Pavilion in the central prefecture, Qian Duoduo.
So it turned out that the people who were invited to the Central Plains today were all influential characters. Among them were the clan heads of the various great clans, including Nie Ling’s father, Nie Longxiang.
There were also the eight major powers of the eight chosen. Not only that, there were also some people who were in control of other powers that had never appeared before. Right now, these characters who could influence the Central Plains with a single move were all gathered together.
Upon hearing Qian Duoduo’s words, Ji Tongtian did not pay any attention to him. He merely glanced at Qian Duoduo and spoke in an indifferent tone. “All of you are people with some means. I did not summon all of you here today to discuss trivial matters.”
“I believe that all of you have your own hands to investigate the matter regarding the Demon Subduing Mountain recently.”
Ji Tongtian paused for a moment when he said this. After which, he continued speaking when he saw that everyone present did not say anything.
“This time around, if our great desolate Central Plains and even the entire great desolate region do not unite, it is likely that everyone will not be able to escape this calamity.”
The expressions of many people changed slightly when they heard these words. They were all carefully considering the meaning behind Ji Tongtian’s words.
Were they all old foxes? Given Ji Tongtian’s character, he would definitely not joke around with them.
However, did that matter really affect the great desolate in that way?
“City Lord Ji, what is the meaning of this? Can you explain it clearly?”
At this moment, someone stepped forward and asked. This person did not care about what others thought. Since he could not understand the meaning of those words, he could just ask directly. Why beat around the bush?
Ji Tongtian narrowed his eyes and glanced indifferently at that person. After which, he said, “the change in Demon Subduing Mountain is likely an unprecedented disaster.”
The moment these words were said, many who did not understand, but could not bring themselves to pull their faces down, their expressions changed again and again.
They knew about the matter of the Demon Subduing Mountain range. If not, it would be a waste of their family’s wealth. They would definitely be well-informed.
“Then what will happen? Are there any accurate records?” another person asked.
When Ji Tongtian heard this, he could only shake his head and say, “there are records. However, the contents of the records are too weak compared to the current changes in Demon Subduing Mountain.”
Ji Tongtian swept his gaze across the crowd. His gaze was somewhat indifferent as he slowly spoke. “I wonder if everyone has heard of the legend of the Demon Subduing Mountain?”
They had naturally heard of the legend of the Demon Subduing Mountain range. However, they had always thought that the legend was just a legend and could not be trusted.
However, now, when it came out of the mouth of the city lord of Central Plains City, Ji Tongtian, it was as if the legend was real.
When Ji Tongtian saw everyone looking at him with doubtful gazes, he did not say anything else. He only took out the ancient book from his seal imprint.
He placed it on the table and said faintly, “this is the history recorded in my city lord’s residence.”
“This is the history recorded in my residence. Demons do indeed exist, but they exist in the lower realm like the Tian Yuan world where we are, but they exist in the spirit world.”
“In history, there is a prophecy that says that evil will be vanquished, ancient demons will appear, and calamity will befall the great desolate.”
“Out of these four prophecies, the only one that we can match up to is ancient demons. The rest is unknown, but the remaining calamity will befall the great desolate.”
“That will be the calamity of our great desolate region!”
After the chess piece was placed, Ji Tongtian did not speak. The people present were not fools. After saying that, it was up to them to see if they would believe it.
After Ji Tongtian finished speaking, the various aristocratic families at the meeting table were whispering to each other as they flipped through the scroll of history that was on the table.
There was no duplicate copy of this scroll of history. In other words, this was the original copy of the city lord’s residence. It could be said that Ji Tongtian had put in a lot of effort in order to make them believe it.
Just as these generations were hesitating, the Nie family stood up.
Nie Longxiang looked at Ji Tongtian and said calmly, “I believe in you, City Lord Ji. If there’s anything my Nie family can do to help, the nie family will not decline.”
He had already obtained information about the Demon Subduing Mountain from the demon hunter squad, and that consecrator’s token had forced him to take this matter seriously. At this moment, even the city lord had said so.
Then, did he still have a choice? The great desolate was born, they were also born. The great desolate would perish? Then, they would also die.
However, it could also be said that these aristocratic families, other than some of the lower-level families in the central sky region, had no way out.
With such a huge commotion caused by the Demon Subduing Mountain, it was better to believe it.
With the Nie family taking the lead, the other wavering aristocratic families seemed to have found the direction of the wind, and they all agreed. In the end, even the person in charge of the Central Plains’ Thousand Treasures Pavilion agreed to this matter.
Although it might be a great crisis, it might even be a great opportunity.
