Chapter 915: Chapter 335: No Longer a Bystander, Grasping the Thread

"You should close your eyes and rest for a bit; regaining spiritual energy is not so easy." The Old Celestial Master nodded, letting Wen Yan rest first.

The Old Celestial Master’s apparition did not ask Wen Yan much, but when he saw Feng Yao, he pulled him aside to inquire.

It was only then that Feng Yao roughly understood what had happened.

Feng Yao simply recounted the events, and the Old Celestial Master almost grasped the situation.

"To harm human life is a line that should never be crossed; if any demon crosses this line, regardless of what it is, there’s no room for negotiation.

This demon has harmed lives, crossed that line, and with the resurgence of spiritual energy, it no longer remains cautious or low-profile.

To such a demon, crossing this line means there is no turning back.

If left unchecked, it will become a disaster.

List it in the Scorching Sun Department’s lethal list."

Feng Yao’s expression became serious, and he immediately nodded solemnly.

"I understand."

The lethal list of the Scorching Sun Department, in simple terms, is the must-kill list of the Scorching Sun Department.

For humans, considering the current environment, if they can escape and never return to Divine Land, staying low-profile might offer a slim chance of survival.

But if they are a different race, as soon as they make a move, they will understand why even the Scorching Sun Department itself is limiting its power.

Usually, such matters require discussion, program recognition, and personal signing by the general director to come into effect.

However, since the Old Celestial Master himself has spoken and given a conclusion, the previous steps can be directly skipped, reporting straight to the general director.

No one’s authority in the Scorching Sun Department concerning these issues is higher than that of the Old Celestial Master.

Even if there is something that needs expert advice, it is the Old Celestial Master who is consulted.

After asking the questions, the Old Celestial Master went to the mortuary in the basement to look at Elder Ye’s corpse.

"Truly a sin..."

Originally, he was guarding the cliff edge of the Cloud Sea when he suddenly felt the disturbance here, accompanied by the fiercely rising intentions.

He felt that it was Wen Yan and immediately cast his Magic Sword to descend upon Yu State.

He did not know how Wen Yan triggered such intentions, but he knew that if Wen Yan willingly initiated it, then it must be uncontrollable.

Unexpectedly, upon arrival, he learned how great the sin committed by the Great Demon was.

The Old Celestial Master extended his hand to gather essence and softly chanted to transcend.

About ten minutes later, the Old Celestial Master emerged from the basement, observing the chaos in the Scorching Sun Department becoming methodical; he then ignored it.

He came to the room where Wen Yan was, seeing Wen Yan sitting there with his eyes closed.

"The Second Generation Celestial Master of the Celestial Master Mansion once encountered a Great Demon who debated the Dao with him.

That Great Demon told him that demons are impermanent, entering the vast universe without traces, without lifespan limits, without human moods.

I do not know what this demon looks like this time, who it is?"

"Were there Great Demons before? Are they still alive now?"

"That is unknown."

Wen Yan pondered for a moment before proactively recounting the relevant matters.

The Old Celestial Master considered for a moment and said.

"Then this matter can only rely on your intervention; at least until he appears, it must be so.

If I make a move and start tracking, he will never appear again.

At least until I transcend, he will not appear again.

I think, you surely cannot wait for so many years."

"Yes, I cannot wait; I wish to find him now."

"Then you have only one chance, such a demon without a physical body, relying on possession.

As soon as he feels a great threat and suffers once but does not die.

Until you perish, he will not appear again.

From what you said, this demon should feed on human desires.

That Hermit, having no desires or demands, had his survival instinct swallowed.

How to proceed depends entirely on you."

"I understand, thank you for the guidance, Old Celestial Master."

The Old Celestial Master said no more, turned around to leave, found Feng Yao once more, and told him to return the Magic Sword, then with a flick of the wrist, disappeared, leaving only a Magic Sword behind.

Wen Yan calmed down, feeling the flames burning fiercely in his chest, still raging but capable of keeping his rage while understanding what should and should not be done.

After pondering for a long time, the first step was to find that Great Demon.

Then, find out the movement patterns of that Great Demon, understand what it plans to do.

Understand why it appeared in the Ye Clan Village.

Understand how to find it; otherwise, not finding it means everything is in vain.

If that Great Demon survived for over two thousand years to this day, plus the Old Celestial Master’s statement.

This is enough to prove how capable the Great Demon is of enduring.

Probably, this creature’s concept of time differs from humans.

If a person can endure and hide for twenty years, they are called patient.

But for this Great Demon, one year and twenty years might be of little difference.

Wen Yan wanted to quickly find and beat him to death, but he also did not want to fail, or spend the next few decades dwelling endlessly until death over this unfinished matter.

The fire burned more vigorously, making his thoughts clearer.

After an hour of adjustment, Wen Yan found Feng Yao.

"Sorry for troubling you. Is anyone hurt?"

"You controlled it well, no major issues, just some dust on faces at most."

"I entrust you with the aftermath."

"Don’t worry about it; these things we are the best at."

"Then please prepare a vehicle for me, I need to take the elderly man home."
