Soon, Jiang Ming found the place. However, he concealed his presence and hid about 1,000 kilometers away from them.
Swoosh!
The downpour continued relentlessly, and many places had been turned into a pool.
“This rain is strange,” Jiang Ming said as he landed on a peak. He had changed his appearance. Right now, he had a beard and a chiseled jaw. He raised his head to look at the sky and fell into contemplation. Today had nice weather, but the sky had suddenly turned dark, and rain began to fall heavily.
He wouldn’t suspect anything if it happened only in a small region, but it wouldn’t be normal if it happened across tens of thousands of miles.
He squinted his eyes and activated the Dharma Eyes as he looked toward the East Sea. He saw that the surface of the ocean was filled with water vapor. They were all heading inland as if they were going to turn here into a sea.
“Is it the Red Mountain Palace?” Jiang Ming frowned slightly.
He turned around and realized that flood was happening everywhere.
Many cultivators had come to the town and helped the people in the town.
He then looked toward the Qingyun Sect, but it seemed to him that nothing was happening over there.
“Sigh…” Jiang Ming let out a breath.
He couldn’t show himself in a war like this. He could only make his plan in the dark.
“Well, since you want war, I’ll give you war then!” he said as his eyes tumed cold.
He headed toward the Dark Wind Valley afterward.
The valley was massive, but an array surrounded it. The rain couldn’t get in, and people couldn’t detect their presence from the outside.
At the top of a mountain not far away sat an older man. He seemed to have merged into the dark. It was difficult to detect his presence, but Jiang Ming could sense a strong power from him.
Whoosh!
‘The Human Paths Record flipped open.
Name: Chou Long
Race: Human-demon (Human-Demon Body, possess the Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf bloodline)
Gender: Male
Cultivation Base: Paradis Realm
Background: Grand Elder of the Yinmo Sect
Relationship: 0
Innate Talent: Nine Stars
Status: The Yinmo Sect had been planning for more than 1,000 years to destroy the Qingyun Sect and set up a foundation in Eastern Region. Received news the Six Paths of the Sky Devil had decided to emerge and cause havoc to the world while turning the land of Shenzhou into a demonic domain when
the God of Thunders Immortal Treasures in Eastern Region opened up. There were fewer sacred lands in Eastern Region, so it could become their main battlefield. When the Yinmo Sect heard that the Qingyun Sect pretended not to know about their appearance, they decided to go along with the act and
use the God of Thunders Immortal Treasures to lure the Extreme Path martial artists from the Qingyun Sect to kill them.
The plan was already on the move, and a big war would happen once the Thunders Immortal Treasures opened up. He was certain that he wouldn’t be able to defend himself, so he was thinking of how to escape.
Knowing that the Qingyun Sect wanted to get rid of some clans and forces in Eastern Region through the hands of the Yinmo Sect, the Yinmo Sect then went along with it and cleared some annoying people out of their way.
When he found out that the Holy Daughter was coming to destroy the Jiuyang Sect, he volunteered to become the Holy Daughter’s guardian and escaped from the main battlefield.
‘That being said, he wondered why the Holy Daughter would bring five Primal Spirit martial artists with her since the Jiuyang Sect was just a second-rate sect. He also knew that there was a mole in the Jiuyang Sect, but one thing he couldn’t fathom was why they were acting so secretly. Could it be that the
Jiuyang Sect was hiding some secrets?
Then, a downpour came, and he figured that it must be the Red Mountain Palace’s doing. They were going to turn Eastern Region into a country of water, forming an environment conducive to their battle. It was just that he wondered if Long Yuan would make his move or not.
‘If the Yinmo Sect and the Red Mountain Palace work together, we should be able to crush the Qingyun Sect, but why am I feeling so nervous? Hold on for a second! Someone is watching me!”
Just when Chou Long noticed something was not right, a streak of light appeared in front of him. He knew it was too late to activate the Paradis projection, so he summoned an armor to protect himself but to no avail.
Pfft!
Jiang Ming pierced through his forehead without any difficulty, and then he quickly followed up by casting the Return of Infinite Law Finger.
‘The old man’s sea of consciousness collapsed, and his Primal Spirit crumbled away.
Chou Long was dead.
“[can finally kill a Paradis martial artist in seconds if I ambush them now,” Jiang Ming said.
Who could have thought that a 26-year-old young man was able to kill a Paradis martial artist in just a few seconds?
He stretched his arm forward and retrieved all of Chou Long’s items, and then he burned the rest of it.
He looked into the valley and fell silent.
It turned out that the Red Mountain Palace was the one that caused the rain.
As for Long Yuan… Jiang Ming did not know much about him yet. However, judging from the information he had collected, he must be the strongest force from the East Sea.
‘Both the people from the Qingyun Sect and the Yinmo Sect are indeed cunning. By the way, is there anything special about the Jiuyang Sect? Why is everyone coming to destroy us? Also, why have we never heard of Chou Long, a Paradis martial artist before? And we know nothing about Ge Xiang either.
This is weird.’
Jiang Ming thought, but he did not have any answer for his questions.
He decided to run an investigation over his sect so that he could prepare in advance if anything went sideways.
“The Yinmo Sect’s target is the God of Thunders Immortal Treasures… A large number of geniuses will be gathered there, and if all of them get killed there, it will be a big loss for Eastern Region. Besides, the Six Paths of the Sky Devil were going to make a move as well! Well, it seems like something big is
going to happen.” Jiang Ming sighed.
Jiang Ming couldn’t fathom why they couldn’t just focus on their cultivation. The devil sects focused on diabolical cultivation, while cultivators yearned for immortality. Why couldn’t they just cultivate and wait for the day of ascension? Why must they kill each other?
Was it because of the resources?
Jiang Ming discarded the thought as soon as it appeared in his head.
“The energy in the universe is still sufficient, though.”
Jiang Ming suddenly went into a trance as his pupils constricted. His brain was spinning fast, and he felt like a storm was going on inside his head.
Since ancient times, wars had always been facilitated by the minority, and their reasons were simple—power and wealth.
However, for cultivators, especially for those who were standing at the pinnacle of cultivation, their goal should have been trying to ascend to a higher level. Why must they be involved in a fight? Why did the Yinmo Sect keep fighting? Why were the Six Paths of the Sky Devil showing themselves right
now? Why must the Yinmo Sect go as far as join forces with the Red Mountain Palace to destroy the Qingyun Sect?
‘The Extreme Path or Imminent Mortal martial artists would certainly join the fight if a war broke out. At that time, nobody could guarantee that they wouldn’t die from the fight.
“It would be reasonable if those martial artists could no longer ascend to a higher level, but those who start this fight in the dark are obviously someone who has the ability to go to the next level, so why? There must be some secrets in it!”
Jiang Ming thought, and then Tian Ci, who was a reincarnation of an immortal, appeared in his mind. Not only did he have immortal weapons, but he also had the Golden Heavenly Path in the depth of his soul.
“Well, I shouldn’t think so much.”
Jiang Ming shook his head and suppressed those thoughts. After all, over-thinking was bad for health and hair.
He rose into the air. Although he had concealed his presence, his opponent had noticed his arrival. Without waiting for them to react, he formed a hand seal.
It was the Heaven Suppression Divine Seal, the special ability of the Qingyun Sect.
The great seal suppressed even the sky and had tons of divine power in it. Once it appeared, all the rain evaporated. The endless power had also formed a domain and prevented the people inside from escaping.
Rumble!
The seal descended and crashed into the valley, killing all of the people inside.
Before Jiang Ming could do anything, his vision went dark, and a chill crept down his spine.
‘This is Darkness Dao!”
The thought flitted across Jiang Ming’s head, and he disappeared. It was also at this moment that a sword stabbed the spot he stood before.
“Teleportation?” A voice echoed.
The darkness disappeared, rain began to fall, and a black-robed old man had appeared on top of the valley.
He seemed to have completely merged into the surroundings.
“Who are you?” Jiang Ming asked, his forehead filled with sweat..
