Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 574 - 494: One More Person...!_3

The Dragon Whale King, surrounded by platinum light, broke through the dense fog above the sea, spilling up gigantic waves as it slowly sailed forward.

Upon witnessing the appearance of the Dragon Whale King, a trace of relieved smiles emerged among the Dao Experts.

Finally, they could leave this wretched place.

On this journey to the Southern Ming Wasteland, the Human Race lost nearly seventy Dao Experts.

Although this number is significantly better compared to the total annihilation of the demons at the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

But to lose seventy True Monarchs of the Dao Body in just a single year is indeed staggering.

Therefore, seeing the returning Dragon Whale King appear, the True Monarchs of the Dao Body who escaped death felt genuinely joyous and relieved.

They had managed to survive this deadly calamity!

Above the cliff, divine lights like a meteor shower rose howling, fell on the Dragon Whale King.

With the heavy rumbling sound of setting out, the giant ship slowly pulled back, and under the observance of the Human Race True Monarchs, the ancient continent where hundreds of Dao Experts were buried gradually submerged into the mist of the Guixu Sea.

On deck, the Human Race True Monarchs gathered loosely, leaning against the ship's side, gazing at the Guixu Sea ahead.

Compared to the heavy tension upon arrival, the atmosphere for the return journey was noticeably lighter.

After all, these True Monarchs had already reaped considerable benefits during their venture into the Southern Ming Wasteland.

Now, having successfully completed their mission, there is likely a reward waiting for them.

Southwest side of the deck.

Daoist Yunxiong introduced the existence of [Dao Alliance] to Qi Xiu.

"The Dao Alliance, is an organization formed by mutual agreement by all Primordial Spirit True Honors from the Central Earth's realm since the Near Ancient Era.

If the royal families of the dynasties rule the billions of people in Central Earth.

Then the Dao Alliance is the supreme sovereign over the entire cultivation world."

Upon hearing that the Dao Alliance was actually established by all the Primordial Spirit Bosses, Qi Xiu could sense its immense and towering presence.

"The Dao Alliance, as the pinnacle existence of the Human Race in the Tianyuan Main Realm, not only oversees the entire cultivation world.

But also controls the mundane human world.

Dynasties rise and fall, rival powers contend.

This seemingly illogical cycle is actually shadowed by the Dao Alliance.

And several thousand years ago, the Dao Alliance announced a new plan, named..."

"Gentlemen, there's something we might need to discuss."

The suddenly arriving Hu Tianzong interrupted the conversation between Daoist Yunxiong and Qi Xiu.

The Young Master of the Hu Family appeared calm, yet his black and white eyes subtly signaled to Qi Xiu and Daoist Yunxiong.

Instantly understanding Hu Tianzong's intention, Qi Xiu pinched two fingers, and a majestic force instantly swept open the Space-Bounding, descended violently, enveloping the three within.

"Small World Technique? Qi, you are indeed knowledgeable."

Perceiving the expression from Hunyuan Palace, Hu Tianzong couldn't help but praise.

"Hu, you're polite. Do you need us urgently for..." Qi Xiu waved his hand and said.

"Something's happened."

Upon the mention of serious matters, Hu Tianzong's expression became solemn.

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiu and Daoist Yunxiong couldn't help but straighten their posture, revealing a trace of seriousness.

"Do you both remember how many fellow Daoists came with us?"

"Two hundred and eighteen."

Qi Xiu replied, as in those months traveling to the Southern Ming Wasteland, he had come to know all these True Monarchs of the Dao Body; not just numbers, but he could even list all their names now.

"Two hundred and eighteen people came, sixty-eight fell in the Southern Ming Wasteland, so logically, there should be exactly one hundred fifty people on the ship now.

But I just took a circle around the ship.

Now on the ship.

There are one hundred fifty-one people."

One person extra?

With furrowed brows, Qi Xiu and Daoist Yunxiong exchanged glances.

Isn't that to say something has eluded everyone's sight, sneaking onto the ship right under the eyes of these True Monarchs of the Dao Body.

Thinking of this, a chill that sends shivers down the spine instantly encompassed the entire Hunyuan Palace.
