Realm-Hopping Martial Master
Chapter 939 - 511: Identity Exposed! (2)
The news of Sen Hu Demon Monarch hiding here was an absolute secret; even within the Sen Hu Clan Land, few were aware, and the Fox People Clan spent a long time before roughly determining his location. After Jiang Shu searched several islands, they arrived here.
"It's right here."
Jiang Shu was indeed injured, but his acute perception of the Great Dao remained. On this island, he captured a nearly invisible trace of the Great Dao, concluding this was Sen Hu Demon Monarch's hidden cultivation place.
He led Hu Yi forward, gradually enveloped by a layer of chaotic mist, merging into his entire being, resembling a deity, like an immortal.
He advanced, his aura slowly gathering, carrying an invincible intention straight to the sky, each trace of the Great Dao encircling him.
His eyes flickered with light, his blood surged as if a furnace was burning, and his blood flowed like rivers, producing a subtle rumble. A gentle exhale felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, distorting the surrounding air.
Some demon energy gathered by the demon race around him, concealing his human identity.
Could this be the true face of the master?
Hu Yi just stood beside Jiang Shu and felt a rush of blood rise, instinctively falling back three steps.
Sen Hu Demon Monarch hid here, gathering secret techniques from around the world to heal his Dao injuries, which was why he ordered the Fox People Clan to establish an intelligence network. Unexpectedly, it became his death sentence.
As a Demon Monarch, Sen Hu Demon Monarch had few people around him, only two old servants at the Transformation Realm served him, hunched over and appearing near death.
He suddenly opened his eyes, slightly furrowing his brow, looking into the distance as if seeing the figure advancing.
"Go see what's happening, why someone is coming."
Sen Hu Demon Monarch's voice was hoarse, like two pieces of sandpaper rubbing together. He healed here, and if he acted, his aura would erupt, surely revealing his identity.
He sensed a formidable presence entering the island. Usually, no one at this Transformation Realm power would come.
Hopefully, it's just a false alarm.
Although to him, a Great Demon at the Transformation Realm could be easily obliterated with a hand.
But if this Great Demon from the Transformation Realm had other Demon Monarchs behind him, it's as if he exposed his whereabouts.
"Yes."
The two old servants looked identical, twin brothers, nodded in unison.
They also sensed a power gathering ahead, but their realm couldn't match Sen Hu Ancestor, giving them a feeling of seeing flowers in fog.
"At such a crucial time, these Demon Monarchs even sent commanders below."
One old servant's voice was low. On this island, they had encountered two Transformation Realm commanders exploring before, and the Demon Monarch's methods concealed them successfully.
Hopefully, this time also goes smoothly.
Otherwise, they would have to act.
"Not searching for our clan ancestor, but Jiang Taixuan? These Demon Monarchs really have wise thoughts. Searching for our ancestor might advance their power, while searching for Jiang Taixuan might lead straight to death."
"Jiang Taixuan, how did he cultivate? In just a few hundred years, he reached the Vientiane Realm."
The old servants exchanged thoughts, left the Cave Mansion, moving toward the powerful, unhidden demon energy.
From afar, the old servants saw a robed figure approaching, the surrounding space already distorted.
As the figure drew closer, they saw clearly; the immense demon energy was mere illusion, truly formidable was the pure blood concealed beneath it.
This seems... not from our demon race?
The old servants were about to speak, but an aura suddenly attacked, the surrounding space forming a cage, locking them tightly.
This power...
As if thinking of a possibility, horror filled the old servants' eyes.
"Slash."
Jiang Shu's voice was light, merely emerging.
Yet in the space, a sharp blade appeared, instantly beheading the two old servants, their giant demon bodies fully manifested before Hu Yi.
Protected in the space by Jiang Shu, Hu Yi trembled.
Unlike Jiang Shu, Hu Yi recognized the two old servants immediately. They were also strong in Sen Hu Clan, Transformation Realm.
Yet now, under his master's hand, they didn't even have the chance to make a sound.
His master... could he be... a Daoist Monarch of Vientiane Realm?!
Hu Yi felt he was dreaming.
Their half-demon cultivation followed the human clan system, naturally aware of cultivation realms, one harder than the next.
Even reaching Nirvana Realm was impossible for their half-demon kind.
Let alone Vientiane Realm, a level above Nirvana!
Comprehend the Great Dao, cultivate the Great Dao.
Such beings stood tall, like demon monarchs.
Ruling over territory for a million miles.
A thought could spill endless blood, countless Transformation Realm Great Demons had to submit.
Sen Hu Ancestor was merely at the early Demon Monarch stage, suffering severe Dao injuries with short life, yet he dominated the north of the Chaotic Demon Sea, swallowing vast lands, proving Vientiane's strength.
Hu Yi once imagined himself with Demon Monarch cultivation, but his wildest imaginations couldn't match a fraction of a Demon Monarch's power, dampening hopes for revenge.
Now, a Vientiane Daoist Monarch stood before him, his own master.
It's the most fantastical thing in the world.
"Stay here, don't move."
"This mark can hide you within the space; unless a Demon Monarch acts, ordinary Transformation Realm can't perceive your presence, nor break the space."
No Daoist Monarch or Demon Monarch could be underestimated.
Especially Sen Hu Demon Monarch, who traversed Chaotic Demon Sea for thousands of years.
Though Jiang Shu was wounded, battling Sen Hu Demon Monarch wouldn't be easy.
Bringing Hu Yi would risk exposing him to their aftermath.
"May the master return victorious."
Hu Yi was overwhelmed, suppressed his emotions, bowed deeply, hiding in the corner.
This level of battle was terrifying. Let alone his Furnace Fire Realm, even the strongest half-demon might perish under a single breath.
All he could do was pray silently, urging the master to return victorious.
Only now did he see the hope for revenge.
The master, a Daoist Monarch, planned ahead, and no matter how formidable Sen Hu Demon Monarch's methods, they wouldn't threaten the master.
Even if not slaying Sen Hu Demon Monarch, forcing out his location would make other Demon Monarchs act!
The demon race was always chaotic.
Hu Yi took a deep breath, calming his racing heart.
Initially serving Jiang Shu out of fear, now brought immense gratitude!
Inside the Cave Mansion, Sen Hu Demon Monarch's face was incredibly bleak.
Jiang Shu could lock onto him through a trace of Dao Rhyme; he, too, felt Jiang Shu's arrival through the Dao Rhyme within the hand seal, let alone Jiang Shu's blatant approach, a slow terror for Sen Hu Demon Monarch.
It truly was him.
Why would Jiang Taixuan come here?!
At this moment, Sen Hu Demon Monarch clearly knew who the visitor was.
Even at his peak, Black Dragon Demon Lord lost an arm to him, let alone himself?
The only silver lining was others mentioning Jiang Shu suffered severely too, recovering would take years.
Though he had little time left, he preserved a trump card unused.
Jiang Taixuan was akin to a treasure trove; killing him might heal his Dao injuries!
