Chapter 111: Chapter 110: Imperial Tutor, Sun and Moon Pavilion, Rashomon! The Great Powers Assemble

The World-Suppressing Demon Soldier! The Vast Sea Halberd!

Although the Elder Imperial Tutor had lived for ages, he actually knew very little about this particular World-Suppressing Demon Soldier.

According to legend, this Demon Soldier was the innate weapon of a great figure at the Dao Palace Realm who served under the fabled Demon Venerable many years ago!

Ancient records stated that this Daoist Palace Great Power had taken a wisp of Celestial Fire, fused it with ten-thousand-year Divine Iron, gathered several bolts of Divine Thunder, and finally infused it all with Earth Core Demon Fire!

It was forged for forty-nine years!

Only then was it successfully completed!

The moment this weapon appeared, the winds and clouds shifted, and ghosts and gods wailed!

Wielding this Demon Soldier, that Daoist Palace Great Power carved out a fearsome reputation for himself!

However, during the great war recorded in the ancient histories, the Demon Venerable’s Divine Spirit disintegrated. That Daoist Palace Great Power also perished in body and soul in that same battle!

Ever since then, the whereabouts of the World-Suppressing Demon Soldier, the Vast Sea Halberd, had been unknown!

He never expected that the aura of the Demon Soldier, the Vast Sea Halberd, would actually appear within the borders of the Great Xia Dynasty today!

Coming back to his senses, the Elder Imperial Tutor slowly rose.

He flashed through the air, his profound gaze fixed in a certain direction as he muttered to himself.

’These are truly troubled times!’

The great turmoil caused by the appearance of this Demon Soldier would undoubtedly draw out countless experts!

They would come in a mad scramble to seize it!

When that happened, a world-shaking battle would be inevitable!

’Countless lives will be lost!’

’It seems I must go see an old friend!’

With his thoughts collected, the Elder Imperial Tutor vanished, heading for a certain place.

「At the same time, in the eastern part of the Imperial City...」 A magnificent, golden-tiled building stood tall.

Above the building’s main gate hung a gold and purple plaque!

It was none other than...

The Celestial Supervision Mansion!

Inside the mansion, within a hidden secret chamber.

The room was brightly lit!

The decor was simple, with a wooden table placed in the center. Two people sat facing each other at the table.

These two were...

One was a slender, white-robed young man.

The other was the highly trusted Astronomer, Lord Xu!

At this moment, the white-robed young man wore a solemn expression.

True Qi surged within him as his hands continuously traced patterns in the air, casting his Innate Divine Technique!

Blood Painting!

Within the image...

A massive chasm, saturated with endless Demonic Qi, cut through a mountain range!

A moment later, the image dissipated.

Only then did a look of joy appear on the white-robed young man’s face. "Senior Brother! The Vast Sea Halberd has appeared!"

Lord Xu had already dropped his disguise!

He had reverted to his appearance as the Demon Armored Youth, and a trace of delight couldn’t help but spill from his golden eyes!

"The Vast Sea Halberd has appeared!"

"This matter is of the utmost importance. There is no room for carelessness!"

"I must contact the Inner Sect Elders at once!"

After taking a deep breath, the Demon Armored Youth took a Golden Jade from his robes.

Ancient patterns were carved onto the Jade. The lines were quite clear, and one could faintly make out...

the word "Rashomon"!

BUZZ—!

As the Demon Armored Youth activated the Golden Jade, the carved patterns seemed to come alive, slowly starting to squirm!

It also burst forth with a brilliant golden glow!

"What is it?"

A moment later, a low voice emanated from the Golden Jade.

"Reporting to the Elder! The World-Suppressing Demon Soldier, the Vast Sea Halberd, has appeared!"

The Demon Armored Youth didn’t dare to delay, speaking quickly and respectfully.

"..."

On the other end, the person fell silent for several seconds after hearing the news.

Then, he spoke: "I will arrive in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn and retrieve the Demon Soldier!"

After he finished speaking, the Golden Jade went completely silent.

"Senior Brother! This is perfect! Since the Elder is coming to retrieve the Demon Soldier, you can also ask him to help you get rid of that damnable Seventh Prince!"

The white-robed young man seemed to have just remembered something, his expression turning sinister.

Ever since King Zhenyue was killed by a mysterious expert, they had kept a much lower profile in their daily affairs.

They had also been secretly investigating who it was that killed King Zhenyue!

Unfortunately, this person was hidden too well, leaving them no clues to follow.

After investigating every lead...

The mysteriously vanished Seventh Prince became the primary suspect!

"There’s no rush. I know what I’m doing!"

A vicious look also appeared in the Demon Armored Youth’s eyes.

’My father was killed!’

’How could he not be furious?’

But right now, the most critical matter was still the Vast Sea Halberd that had just appeared!

This World-Suppressing Demon Soldier was connected to the final plan!

There could be no mistakes!

"Let’s go! To the place where the Demon Soldier appeared!"

The Demon Armored Youth used a mysterious Divine Technique to once again transform back into Lord Xu.

He clasped his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the location of the Demon Soldier’s appearance, and gave the order in a low voice.

"Yes, Senior Brother!"

...

「At the same time, in the western part of the Imperial City...」

Inside a pavilion protected by a Concealing Array.

On the 7th Layer, three people sat around a table.

One of them was a young man in a blue robe with a lazy expression. He was none other than the Heavenly Nether Young Venerable of the Sun and Moon Pavilion!

Beside him, a Black-robed Child was respectfully picking up a Jade Pot to pour him a cup of demonic, blood-like tea!

A thick, metallic smell of blood wafted from the tea.

It filled the entire room!

"Old Demon Xiao, how do you find this body?"

The Blue-robed Youth smiled faintly and drank the tea, feeling a sense of comfort wash over his Heart Spirit!

He then asked his question.

"Not bad!"

Across from him sat an old man in a Black Robe, his face as dry and pale as wax. He forced a smile that seemed rather unnatural!

His voice was like the hiss of a venomous snake, grating to the ears!

"Haha! For you, Old Demon Xiao, to say it’s not bad is quite the endorsement of my handiwork!"

The Blue-robed Youth said with a hearty laugh.

This Old Demon Xiao before him had been rescued by the Blue-robed Youth at great cost, broken out from the depths of the Imperial City’s Emperor’s Hall!

Of course, what he had rescued was Old Demon Xiao’s Divine Spirit. As for this body...

He had used a special Divine Technique, collecting fresh corpses.

He had personally "sewn" it together!

After rescuing Old Demon Xiao.

The task of saving him was now considered complete!

Next, it was time for the second matter.

Seizing the treasure!

Thinking of this, the Blue-robed Youth spoke.

"The Vast Sea Halberd has appeared!"

Old Demon Xiao’s eyes narrowed slightly, then his expression turned grim. "The appearance of a World-Suppressing Demon Soldier is no small matter!"

"The two of us alone won’t be able to take that Demon Soldier!"

Setting aside all others,

the Elder Imperial Tutor alone is enough to suppress us!

’Of course he’d be wary!’

"This matter doesn’t require the two of us to act."

Compared to Old Demon Xiao’s solemnity, the Blue-robed Youth was far more composed.

He chuckled lightly. "I have already relayed this matter to the higher-ups!"

"It is said that a certain someone from the Pavilion can arrive in half an incense stick’s time at most!"

’A certain someone from the Pavilion?’

Old Demon Xiao’s Divine Spirit was somewhat fragmented.

At this moment, he sank into deep thought.

Suddenly!

His eyes widened as he spoke in disbelief, "Could it be... the Sun and Moon Demon Venerable!?"

The Sun and Moon Demon Venerable!

This was a truly legendary figure!

Though not yet thirty years old,

he was already the designated Young Tower Master of the Sun and Moon Pavilion, personally chosen by its founder!

His status was incredibly noble!

It was said that he was born bearing great destiny, with extraordinary talent!

His Cultivation had even reached the very peak of the Divine Platform Realm!

The extent of his power was far beyond imagination!

"Of course it’s him!"

the Blue-robed Youth said calmly.

"If he is coming personally, then there’s actually a decent chance of seizing the World-Suppressing Demon Soldier!"

Old Demon Xiao’s eyes flickered, his gaze turning grim.

...

At this critical moment,

it wasn’t just the Sun and Moon Pavilion, Rashomon, and the Elder Imperial Tutor!

The great disturbance caused by the appearance of the World-Suppressing Demon Soldier!

Had already attracted the attention of countless experts!

In an instant, outside the Imperial City,

heroes and villains from all corners had gathered!
