Chapter 357 - Number One in the World
Chapter 357: Number One in the World
“It’s been nearly 2,000 years since something happened to the Demon’s Den on Dongting Mountain. The demonic energy has rarely been agitated either. The sudden eruption this time was because the Door of Darkness had opened. Those demonic creatures most likely came out from it.
“I’ve experienced it personally. The Door of Darkness cannot be closed or sealed…”
“Hmph, that’s you.” A voice suddenly interrupted with a sneer.
Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul paused and quickly looked at a screen. It looked at the middle-aged man whose true appearance was revealed. His chin was raised high, and his mouth, nose, and eyes exuded arrogance. It said indifferently, “May I know who you are?”
“Zheng Nation, Luo Ao.”
The middle-aged man, Luo Ao, sneered and said, “I thought it was something big. Turns out it’s just a riot in the Demon’s Den. Hmph, is such a small matter worth you making a big fuss and gathering everyone?”
Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul said nothing, but its eyes behind the mask narrowed.
“Brother Luo, you can’t say that. Brother Kong is also worried, that’s why he gathered everyone to share the situation.”
A middle-aged man with a mask on his face spoke gently to ease the situation. “After all, the commotion in the Demon’s Den and the appearance of the Door of Darkness are no trivial matter.
“As far as I know, there are a total of four Demon’s Dens in the Eastern Continent. Since ancient times, no one knows where the fourth one is.
“If every Demon’s Den has a Door of Darkness, that would be four doors.
“Putting the fourth one aside, just the three confirmed ones are worth our vigilance.”
“Brother Xue is right.” An old man with sharp features who had revealed his true appearance added, “The Door of Darkness has appeared in the depths of the Demon’s Den. If I’m not wrong, the few Ancient Demons that disappeared at the end of ancient times are hiding behind that door…”
“Hmph, so what?”
Luo Ao sneered. “It’s fine if the Ancient Demons don’t come out, but once they do, I’ll definitely let them have a taste of what it’s like to live a life worse than death!”
“Can you kill them?”
Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul said calmly, “According to the information I received, the Ancient Demons are at least in the Primordial Spirit realm. Are you in the Primordial Spirit realm?”
Luo Ao’s expression changed. He said coldly, “I’m not, but my master is!”
“Oh, so you’re relying on your Master’s might,” Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul replied indifferently. “I thought you had a Primordial Spirit yourself, that’s why you didn’t take the Ancient Demons seriously.”
What the hell!
His master has a Primordial Spirit, so he can look down on the Ancient Demons?
While Su Jingxing was a little surprised that there was really an expert in the Primordial Spirit realm on the human side, the Ancient Demons had a myriad of forms and strange abilities.
Those in the Primordial Spirit realm could resist them, but they might not be able to kill it.
If the Ancient Demons were not killed, they would make a comeback.
At that time, the ones to die would still be countless of common people.
Someone like Luo Ao clearly did not take his people seriously.
No matter how many people died, he wouldn’t blink.
For such a person to become a Martial Sage, it could only be said that the heavens were blind.
…
“Kong Xuan, is it?”
Faced with Su Jingxing’s hidden mockery, cold light shot out from Luo Ao’s eyes.
“As a senior, I have to remind you.
“Don’t think too highly of yourself just because of what Old Man Xia left behind and disregard others.
“You were able to destroy Xiang Qingtian’s physical body because of Old Man Xia, not yourself!”
“You make it sound like you’re relying on yourself,” Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul replied calmly.
“You!”
Luo Ao was furious and shouted in a low voice, “Fine, I’ve kept you in mind!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his screen disconnected and turned black.
“Cough…”
An old man coughed lightly and said indifferently, “Thank you for informing us about the situation in the Demon’s Den, Brother Kong. I’ll pass down the order now to pay attention to all strange phenomena and be on guard.”
With that, his screen turned black.
“Thank you, Brother Kong. I’ll head to the Demon’s Den to keep guard immediately.”
“Thank you, Brother Kong. If you have the chance, come be a guest in the Liang Nation.”
“…”
The other Martial Sages bade farewell, and their screens turned black.
Finally, only Gong Junlian, Wei Chengzhang, the masked middle-aged man, and the old man with sharp features were left.
The countries these four people were from were the ally countries that had established diplomatic ties with the Yu Nation.
“Brother Kong, ignore Luo Ao. He’s him, and Sword Sage Pei is Sword Sage Pei.”
Wei Chengzhang said indifferently, “Sword Sage Pei only pursues swords. If Ancient Demons are really emerging, he’ll be the happiest. In the past hundred years, no one in the Eastern Continent, Western Continent, or the subcontinent has been a match for him. Now, most of the time, he stays in the Void World and enters the dark areas to hunt monsters. Luo Ao is merely taking his place to guard the Zheng Nation.”
“That’s right. It’s difficult for Luo Ao to even meet Sword Sage Pei now.” The middle-aged man in the mask echoed, “I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Yu Xiangtian from the Snow Nation. Greetings, Brother Kong.”
“Kang Nation, Shi Que. Greetings, Brother Kong.”
The old man with sharp features smiled and said, “This matter concerns the Demon’s Den, so it’s not too much to be careful. Brother Kong, other than Luo Ao, while everyone else has not said anything, we’re very grateful for your reminder.”
“Thank you, brothers and sisters.”
Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul bowed and said, “I know what to do with Luo Ao. On the other hand, is there anything else outstanding about the Sword Sage Pei that you guys mentioned other than him being in the Primordial Spirit realm? Or rather, is this Sword Sage Pei really the number one in the world?”
Wei Chengzhang had just said that Sword Sage Pei was invincible. Didn’t that mean that he was the number one expert on Earth Star?
Su Jingxing was surprised, but not convinced.
Because Earth Star was too big, there were many mysterious places. No one knew if there were hidden experts in the Dark North, the Southern Wilderness, and overseas.
“For now, yes. Sword Sage Pei is definitely the number one in the world.”
Gong Junlian replied, “This Sword Sage Pei is a true genius. A genius in the way of the sword since the past one thousand years. With the world as his master, he comprehended the invincible sword. Before the age of 30, he hatched an Essence Soul from a Divine Embryo and became a Martial Sage.
“Of course, according to the Zheng Nation, it’s a Sword Embryo, a Sword Soul, and a Sword Sage!
“Sword Sage Pei is also worthy of the title of Sword Sage. No one in the Eastern and Western Continent is unconvinced.”
Unlike countries like the Yu Nation, Guang Nation and others, Zheng Nation was famous for its swordsmen.
99% of the citizens cultivated the sword.
The Zheng Nation was also the holy land that all sword cultivators yearned to head to.
The Zheng Nation’s Martial Sage had been a sword cultivator for more than a thousand years. People called him the Sword Sage.
Except for Luo Ao.
Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul did not mind that the New Chu Nation did not participate in this gathering of Martial Sages.
However, Luo Ao’s existence was equally aversive.
“May I ask, brothers, other than Sword Sage Pei, is there anyone else on Earth Star in the Primordial Spirit realm?”
After receiving confirmation, Su Jingxing did not cling onto Luo Ao and changed the topic. “There are four Demon’s Dens. If there is one Ancient Demon in each den, that makes four Ancient Demons. It will probably be difficult for Sword Sage Pei to fend them off alone.”
In fact, there were only three Ancient Demons.
However, Su Jingxing couldn’t explain such a thing, so he could only pretend to make a guess.
“Of course not!”
