Chapter 450: Demon Abyss Realm

The other eight sect masters could play the good people, while the role of the villains, the cold and merciless ones, was always left to the leader of the Nine Great Sects.

Therefore, when everyone’s silence indicated that they were no longer opposed, Lu Wuchen immediately said, "Then immediately organize a group of people and invite him to stay as a guest in the Demon Suppression Pagoda!"

"Sect Master, please listen to what Jian Li has to say."

After seeing Lu Wuchen nod, Venerable Jian Li continued, "I believe everyone just witnessed how terrifying Young Friend Fu can be. Asking him to stay in the Demon Suppression Pagoda could very well result in heavy losses to our already limited combat forces. The Sect Master of the Celestial Truth Sect also said that according to the vision, the crisis facing the Heaven Origin Realm will occur after the Demon Abyss Clan’s calamity."

"So the most urgent matter right now is dealing with the Demon Abyss Clan. Rather than inviting Young Friend Fu now, it would be better to wait until the threat from the Demon Abyss Clan has been resolved and we have made thorough preparations before taking action."

Hearing this, everyone recalled Fu Young’s terrifying display just now and collectively sucked in a breath of cold air.

Indeed, fighting someone who possessed such terrifying power without adequate preparation would only result in needless sacrifices.

But if they were going to prepare for it, ordinary preparations would certainly not be enough to deal with him.

Sect Master Tang Qicen of the Heavenly Void Sect was the first to express his agreement.

"Fellow Daoist Jian of your sect makes sense. Our sect also believes that dealing with the Demon Abyss Clan invasion should take priority."

"Indeed. That teleportation formation the Demon Abyss Clan opened just now was no ordinary formation. If the other places they have attacked are facing formations of the same scale, then this may be even more dangerous than the Heaven Origin Realm crisis foreseen by the Celestial Truth Sect."

The Ninefold Elixir Gate Master spoke with a solemn expression.

"If possible, it would be best to delay this matter until Young Master Xiao returns. Even if Young Friend Fu really is the person mentioned in the prophecy, with Young Master Xiao protecting him, considering Young Master Xiao’s temperament, he certainly would not allow him to be permanently imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Pagoda."

She did not believe that after Sect Master Xiao had been ambushed and teleported away, his powerful grandfather would simply remain inactive or perhaps he had already taken action, but they simply did not know about it.

After all, Sect Master Xiao had disappeared, yet that powerful senior had not come here and caused a huge commotion.

That alone was abnormal.

Therefore, Sect Master Xiao must still be alive and would eventually return safely.

It was also possible that the senior had not appeared because he had witnessed the commotion caused by Young Friend Fu and therefore chose not to intervene, but that possibility was simply too small.

The Sect Master of the Divine Armament Sect thought much the same as the Ninefold Elixir Gate Master, so he followed up. "I also don’t think Young Friend Fu’s matter is urgent. The most important thing right now is to eliminate the Demon Abyss Clan first. Don’t assume that Young Friend Fu made destroying them look easy. For us, fighting them is anything but easy. And don’t forget, all the various sects and factions are currently surrounded by the Demon Abyss Clan!"

"Amitabha! I also believe Fellow Daoist Jian is right."

Venerable Kumu of Fanghu Mystic Isle suddenly spoke up.

Lu Wuchen could not understand why so many people were opposing the idea over nothing more than a disciple of the Eternal Prosperity Sect. He frowned and was just about to argue when a fifth-stage communication sword talisman suddenly flew over and stopped in front of him.

He looked at the character "Suppression" on the sword talisman.

This was a communication sword talisman belonging to the elder stationed at the Demon Suppression Pagoda. Such a talisman would never be sent lightly unless something major had happened.

Could something have happened to the Demon Suppression Pagoda as well?

Thinking of this, Lu Wuchen ignored everyone around him and immediately reached out to activate the communication sword talisman.

An elderly voice immediately came from within.

"Reporting to Sect Master, this elder guarding the Demon Suppression Pagoda, Shou Tianyi. Just now, a silver-haired and silver-eyed cultivator of unknown cultivation flew over and attacked us. He also destroyed the Demon Suppression Pagoda and released all the demon prisoners inside. The surrounding area has now been occupied by the demon prisoners. The situation..."

As everyone listened to the contents of the communication sword talisman, their faces turned pale.

What else could they fail to understand?

The senior had clearly seen that they dared to target his precious grandson’s disciple, so he had immediately destroyed the Demon Suppression Pagoda as a warning.

He wanted them to understand that without the Demon Suppression Pagoda, how could they possibly imprison Fu Young?

Lu Wuchen put away the communication sword talisman with a complicated expression.

He had considered that an expert from the Upper Realm might object to this, but the Demon Suppression Pagoda was an immortal artifact. Once someone was imprisoned inside, without the corresponding opening talisman, even experts from the Spirit Realm would probably have no way to release them.

They were not immortals.

That was what he had thought.

He had never expected the senior to slap him in the face so directly, casually destroying the Demon Suppression Pagoda.

What kind of power was that?

Even an immortal artifact could be destroyed with such ease.

Were cultivators from the Upper Realm really this powerful?

Lu Wuchen had always suppressed his cultivation and refused to ascend, insisting that it was better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Yet for the first time, he found himself thinking about going to the Upper Realm to see it for himself.
