Chapter 2394 - 2399: Demon Might Descends from the Heavens [Fifth Update]

Chapter 2394: Chapter 2399: Demon Might Descends from the Heavens [Fifth Update]

Xia Liu used Demon Consciousness to draft a scroll.

Then, with a simple use of Divine Power Art, he suspended the scroll in front of the door.

When Lan Lianxue returns from the city.

She should be able to see the message he left.

As for the place of closed-door cultivation.

Xia Liu directly chose within the room.

Previously, she spent a significant amount of materials to turn this house into a Formation!

Even if a sixth-rank Demon Lord came, it would take considerable effort to break into the room.

Now, standing on the same side as Duan Tian.

He believed no strong adversary would disturb him in Demon Hunter City.

"Elder Bai, next I’m going to reach for the fifth rank of the Demon Lord realm."

Before starting, Xia Liu sent his thoughts to Bai Jue.

"Go ahead, I will also ensure your safety."

"Haha! Much obliged."

Xia Liu’s Demon Consciousness surged, and the Demon Essence within him exploded.

Then it transformed into the Taiqing Sword, spiraling around him.

With such protection.

Xia Liu was certain that whoever dared to destroy his State of Mind at a critical moment would definitely pay the price!

...

On the other side, Lan Lianxue, who had been exploring Demon Hunter City all day, returned to the courtyard.

She was full of questions she wanted to ask Xia Liu about.

However, she found the scroll placed at Xia Liu’s door.

After reading it.

Her face turned awkward.

"Commander, are you afraid I’ll expose your secrets? Or are you worried about slipping up?"

Helpless, Lan Lianxue could only return to her room.

She was determined to investigate Xia Liu!

This guy couldn’t hide from her for long!

As per the instructions in Xia Liu’s scroll, she went to the Medicine Garden daily to tend to the Herbs.

Sometimes, after finishing the next day’s chores.

She would head into the city.

What felt different to her was.

Recently, stories about High-Rank Demon Beasts frequently spread through the city.

The unusual thing was that such news had been circulating for a long time.

Yet, there was no news of them being killed anymore.

Additionally, several Mercenary Corps had been attacked in the Central Region of the Nether Land.

They were attacked by High-Rank Demon Beasts!

With Demon Lord strength!

The Central Region of the Nether Land shouldn’t have High-Rank Demon Beasts appearing.

The occurrence of these events.

Has caused panic throughout Demon Hunter City.

No mercenary group dared to enter the Secret Realm to hunt beasts.

Everyone was waiting for news from the City Lord.

Squatting on the stone steps in front of Xia Liu’s room, Lan Lianxue’s mind was a mess of thoughts.

She was a bit at a loss for what to do now.

The City Lord’s Mansion had sent out a message.

Inviting all Mercenary Corps leaders, namely the commanders, to gather at the City Lord’s Mansion.

If they didn’t show up, they’d suffer the consequences.

Since Xia Liu was not present, without the commander’s emblem, Lan Lianxue didn’t have the qualification to represent the Osmanthus Group to attend.

She was worried that the Osmanthus Group would be sanctioned by the City Lord’s Mansion for not attending.

Yet, she was also concerned about when Xia Liu would end his closed-door cultivation.

It had been five days since the City Lord’s Mansion invited the Mercenary Corps leaders.

The atmosphere in Demon Hunter City had grown solemn.

Everyone knew that the situation was extremely severe this time.

They feared something earth-shattering was about to happen!

On the tenth day after the City Lord’s Mansion sent the invitations, two figures suddenly flew over to the Osmanthus Group.

They were dressed in the attire of the City Lord’s Mansion’s Demon Guards.

"Strong individuals from the City Lord’s Mansion!"

Realizing the identities of the approaching demon cultivators, Lan Lianxue grew anxious.

She thought they must be coming to question why the Osmanthus Group hadn’t gone to the City Lord’s Mansion for negotiations!

Recalling the instructions left in Xia Liu’s scroll.

She grew even more worried.

Xia Liu had asked her to stop anyone from approaching his room with words.

Even if the City Lord himself came, it would be the same.

"Demon Guard Tianya from the City Lord’s Mansion."

"Tianbei."

"Sorry for the disturbance."

Tianya and Tianbei politely greeted Lan Lianxue with a fist salute and then slowly landed.

Fully displaying the courtesy and manners that a City Lord’s Mansion’s Demon Guard should have.

"Two seniors, you are here for...?"

Lan Lianxue was a bit at a loss.

Some people, when sanctioning others, act very courteously.

The next moment, they’ll tell you to go to Hell!

She feared Tianya and Tianbei were such people.

"We are here to invite Commander Xia to attend a meeting at the City Lord’s Mansion."

Tianya, as the Captain of the Demon Guard, politely explained the situation to Lan Lianxue.

"I’m sorry, senior, our commander is in closed-door cultivation and cannot be disturbed for now."

Lan Lianxue honestly replied, and if Tianya and Tianbei didn’t believe her, they’d have to forcefully enter Xia Liu’s room themselves.

She had no idea what might happen.

"Commander Xia is in closed-door cultivation?"

Tianya looked at the house behind her with confusion and then fell silent.

When they came to invite Xia Liu, the City Lord had specially instructed.

Not to be forceful in the slightest.

If Xia Liu became unhappy, they wouldn’t have to return to the City Lord’s Mansion either.

Additionally, they would be responsible for their own lives.

This caused great fear in Tianya and Tianbei.

They couldn’t believe such a person existed in Demon Hunter City.

Even the City Lord, with the eighth-rank strength, feared him.

"Do you know when Commander Xia will come out of cultivation?"

Tianya politely asked.

"I’m not sure, the commander has been in closed-door cultivation for several days."

"Alright, then we’ll wait a few more days."

Tianya conceded.

Ultimately, they dared not offend Xia Liu or go against the City Lord’s words.

"Wait?"

"You plan to wait here for a few days?"

Lan Lianxue asked in confusion.

"Yes, if the Osmanthus Group has rules against hosting guests, we can wait at the entrance."

...

Hearing Tianya say this.

Lan Lianxue was almost speechless.

Since when did the Osmanthus Group have such influence?

Being able to make the City Lord’s Mansion’s Demon Guards so courteous?

Their demeanor didn’t even resemble that of sanctioners.

But rather, a bit like they needed something from the Osmanthus Group.

Or rather, they needed something from Xia Liu!

"No, seniors, don’t misunderstand, you can stay here overnight, I’ll arrange a room for you."

"No need, we can just stand here."

"Alright, as long as you’re happy."

Lan Lianxue decided not to bother Tianya and Tianbei.

She would let them keep watch outside Xia Liu’s door.

Over the next ten days.

She busied herself tending the Medicine Garden, as well as keeping an eye on Tianya and Tianbei.

These two Demon Guards from the City Lord’s Mansion actually stayed stationed outside Xia Liu’s door.

For ten whole days, they hadn’t moved!

"Fairy, it’s been ten days, we must invite Commander Xia, so we might have to offend."

Finally, Tianya couldn’t hold back.

Given the seriousness of the matter, if necessary, he had no choice.

"What do you plan to do?"

Lan Lianxue grasped her Demon Sword, eyes fixed sharply on Tianya.

Against a Peak Demon Infant Cultivator, she wasn’t confident.

But she would try her best to prevent them from breaking into Xia Liu’s room.

"I intend to..."

Just as Tianya was speaking.

An ancient aura descended from the sky.

This force enveloped all of Demon Hunter City.

A range of a thousand miles was covered!

The powerful Demon Breath made even the Demon Lords within the City Lord’s Mansion marvel!

This force descended from the heavens, covering such a broad area, and no one could detect what exactly had happened.

In a kingdom twenty thousand miles away from Demon Hunter City, Duan Tian was in a meeting with a sixth-rank Demon Lord.

Both simultaneously looked in the direction of Demon Hunter City.

"This Near-God presence, could it be the Beast Tide has opened!"

The sixth-rank Demon Lord’s expression shifted, revealing a fierce look in his eyes.

"This presence, no, it’s him!"

Demon Lord Duan Tian carefully sensed it, then suddenly his expression turned vividly expressive...
