Novel Full Chapter 496: Resolving the Crisis Mission
Su Yuan stepped out once more, already returning to the vicinity of the Miluo Main City.
Kuluo, Xue Jian, and Zhou Xing, coordinating with the Chaos Miluo Grand Array, were currently besieging two Chaos Demon Venerables.
The strength of these two demonic beings was relatively weak, only at the level of Tenth-Order Fusion Dao Venerables, but their power was still incredibly formidable. Kuluo and the other two, even with the aid of the array, were only barely suppressing the two Chaos Demon Venerables. To kill them would require an extremely long time at the very least.
After Su Yuan returned, he immediately joined the battle.
“I will take the lead against the Void Demon! You just need to hold back the other one!” Su Yuan said.
“Alright!”
Kuluo immediately abandoned the Void Demon and, together with the other two, focused on dealing with the Star Demon.
When Su Yuan made his move, he still displayed a strength of only Tenth-Order Fusion Dao Principles, but the power of his attacks was clearly a significant cut above that of an ordinary Tenth-Order Fusion Dao Venerable.
The Void Demon was immediately pressed into a defensive fight by Su Yuan.
Coupled with the occasional streaks of Miluo Light falling from above, smashing onto the Void Demon’s body, the Void Demon’s disadvantage grew larger and larger!
Kuluo and the others, glancing over occasionally, all revealed looks of admiration. Su Yuan’s strength far surpassed theirs.
Su Yuan pretended to dawdle and tangle with the Void Demon for a good while, finally slaying it with a single sword strike.
Afterwards, Su Yuan joined the group beating of the Star Demon.
With the combined efforts of the array and the three of them, the Star Demon’s demise came even more swiftly.
“Success!”
Kuluo exclaimed with pleasant surprise, watching as the Star Demon’s body was shattered into nothingness, leaving only a piece of Star Black Demon Crystal in its place.
“Whew!”
Xue Jian let out a sigh of relief. “Fortunately, the Garrison Commander arrived, otherwise we would have all been done for this time!”
Su Yuan smiled faintly. “Even if I hadn’t come, others would have. It’s all due to the Miluo Dao Lord’s masterful planning and foresight in anticipating the enemy!”
“Seven Stars Garrison Commander, you are too modest! Your strength ranks within the top ten of the entire Dao Court! There aren’t many who can surpass you!” Zhou Xing sighed with emotion.
At this point, Kuluo pushed the two Black Demon Crystals left by the demons towards Su Yuan.
“We owe it to the Garrison Commander’s intervention for overcoming this calamity. These two Black Demon Crystals should be collected by you.”
Kuluo said.
Xue Jian and Zhou Xing also nodded in agreement.
Su Yuan laughed heartily. “I happen to need these two Black Demon Crystals. However, everyone contributed effort, so how can we leave you all without benefits?”
He collected the two Black Demon Crystals, then took out one hundred billion Dao Yan Crystals, giving each of the three thirty billion Dao Yan Crystals.
The remaining ten billion Dao Yan Crystals were split into ten billion billion Dao Yan Coins, which Su Yuan directly distributed to all the city-guarding cultivators. Their contribution in providing the Miluo Grand Array was also not insignificant.
Kuluo hesitated. “This is too much, isn’t it?”
“Haha, compared to such high-grade materials, I’m already making a huge profit!”
Su Yuan laughed.
“Then we shall not stand on ceremony!” Kuluo chuckled as he accepted the thirty billion Dao Yan Crystals.
This was a huge sum even for Kuluo. There was a chance to rely on these resources to directly cultivate a Dao Venerable, or to consume these resources in an attempt to break through to a higher level.
Xue Jian and Zhou Xing were even more overjoyed.
Everyone was happy, all receiving decent gains.
This crisis was resolved with ease.
At this point, Kuluo couldn’t help but say, “Seven Stars Garrison Commander, the appearance of four Chaos Demon Venerables this time, and such high-grade Chaos Demon Venerables coming out alone, is a very abnormal event. There must be someone pulling strings behind the scenes. I suspect they are still hiding within our territory.”
Hearing this, Su Yuan waved his hand dismissively. “I drove them away. I just went over to deal with this matter!”
Kuluo was stunned. “You’ve already resolved it?”
“Mm, no need to publicize it afterwards.”
The three immediately nodded.
Following this, Su Yuan returned to the city, continuing to stand guard for a period. If no further incidents occurred, he could return.
During this process, Su Yuan transmitted the Void Black Demon Crystal to his disciple, the Void Great Emperor, and transmitted the Star Demon Crystal to Star Dust Elder.
These two were quite lucky. It just so happened that the four invading Chaos Demon Venerables this time matched their respective Dao Principle attributes.
“Could it be the influence of the Fortune Dao Principle?”
Su Yuan muttered to himself. The combined Fortune Dao Principles of him and Su Li caused the attributes of the appearing Chaos Demon Venerables to coincidentally match the Dao Principle attributes of these four individuals. Otherwise, with so many types of Chaos Demon Venerables, how could these four specific types have appeared so precisely?
Blood Moon Dao Court.
Within the Dao Venerable Ancestral Hall.
Rows of statues were placed.
A Twelfth-Order Dao Venerable elder guarded this place, watching over this Ancestral Hall.
Suddenly, the elder’s expression shifted slightly as he looked towards the front rows of the Ancestral Hall.
He saw a full five statues directly shatter and break apart.
Five figures walked out from the statues almost simultaneously.
Seeing this scene, the elder’s expression became grave.
“What happened to you all?”
These few individuals looked around in confusion, sensing the weak state within their bodies, all revealing looks of bewilderment.
“I… I think I was instantly killed by someone!” One of them, coming back to his senses, said with a shudder.
“Me too. I didn’t even know who attacked me before I was directly slain!”
“Same for me.”
The five responded one after another. Their deaths had been too effortless; they didn’t even know who had killed them.
“What were you all doing?” The elder asked, somewhat puzzled.
“We were following the Dao Lord’s orders to go probe the situation at the Miluo Dao Court. Originally, everything was progressing quite well, and then suddenly we were killed!”
The elder frowned. “Be more careful in the future. You were probably killed by a powerful expert from the Miluo Dao Court. Fortunately, you weren’t completely annihilated!”
The five also showed expressions of lingering fear.
They hurriedly walked out of the Dao Venerable Ancestral Hall and went to report the situation to the Blood Moon Dao Lord.
The Blood Moon Dao Lord sat high upon his Dao platform, listening to the five’s report, and immediately began to deduce the circumstances of their encounter.
However, this time, he didn’t obtain even the slightest hint or revelation.
“That Seven Stars Dao Venerable, did he only possess the strength of Tenth-Order Fusion Dao Principles?” The Blood Moon Dao Lord inquired once more.
“Yes! The strength he exposed during his battle with the Reincarnation Demon was exactly that. Those Tenth-Order Fusion Dao Principles were extremely harmonious and complete, not like a disguise!”
That Dao Venerable immediately projected the scenes he had witnessed earlier before the Dao Lord.
The Blood Moon Dao Lord only glanced at it a couple of times before discerning Su Yuan’s true nature, stating with certainty, “This person is merely at Tenth-Order Fusion Dao Principles, not worth worrying about!”
He looked at it a couple of times and didn’t bother looking further, closing his eyes and sinking into contemplation.
“Strange, what exactly did that earlier revelation mean?”
Among the Dao Principles controlled by the Blood Moon Dao Lord, one was the Principle of Premonition.
With his current strength at Seventeenth-Order Fusion Dao Principles, the prophecies he predicted had almost never been wrong.
The prophecy contained only four words: Calamity of the Nine Stars!
That newly joined Dao Venerable of the Miluo Dao Court, with the Dao title ‘Seven Stars’, wasn’t far from ‘Nine Stars’, but he seemed quite distant from the “Calamity of the Nine Stars”. This left the Blood Moon Dao Lord perplexed.
