Chapter 463: Chapter 242: Gathering of the Strong, Seeing Jade Heart Again

Han Yi’s swift move left Zhuge Wu You astonished; however, the stronger Han Yi was, the more reassured he felt.

Besides.

The Heavenly Demon that Han Yi killed was incredibly terrifying, as he was able to kill even the True Body of the Heavenly Demon. However, at this moment, there was no time for him to ask questions, as his divine consciousness rolled up a wave of Jade Clear Divine Fire, spreading towards the dozen or so large Heavenly Demons.

Next, the Burning Soul-cracking Talisman in his hand destroyed the True Body of the Heavenly Demon and exterminated the original body of the Heavenly Demon on the spot. The demon energy was released, and the smaller Heavenly Demons entered the pre-engraved formations, which were easily exterminated by the Foundation Establishment ciders who had freed up their hands.

This battle, which should have been difficult and even desperate for the Xuandan Sect, came to an end within a short period of time.

The main reason for this was Han Yi’s decisive move, which saw him single-handedly slay three demons, leading to this outcome.

After slaying the three Heavenly Demon Kings, Han Yi sat down in the void, alert for any possible appearance of a Heavenly Demon King from the magic den. Half of his consciousness was focused on the Sea of Consciousness Space, inspecting the soul shadow of the Heavenly Demon King.

There were too many memories on the soul shadow, like a vast sea. Most of them involved wandering in the darkness of the outer world, and occasionally sensing the aura of a cultivator breaking through. They followed the Heavenly Demon cracks, infiltrated the Cultivation World, and tried to tempt cultivators into becoming demons. After wreaking havoc in the Cultivation World and being killed, their original bodies fled back to the outer world.

It wasn’t until about a decade ago when an unknown guidance brought the Heavenly Demon King to converge near a set of boundary coordinates, where countless other Heavenly Demons were gathered. There were even dozens of auras that made him shudder, and there was one aura that left him with no resistance, powerful enough to control his life.

It was that aura that guided him, and he couldn’t refuse. He only dared to look at the other party once, and even then, he almost collapsed from fear, never daring to look again.

The memories faltered suddenly, and a rift appeared in the outer world. He and all the Heavenly Demons around him rushed towards it, where the atmosphere of the Cultivation World awaited inside. He managed to seize a cultivator’s body and reveal his True Body of the Heavenly Demon.

The memories stopped here.

However.

In these complex memories, Han Yi paid great attention to the terrifying figure that appeared for a moment, guiding the Heavenly Demons. Although the figure was only half visible, it was apparent that it was not the original body of a Heavenly Demon, but a cultivator.

Han Yi’s pupils constricted in shock, “How is this possible? There’s actually a cultivator who has gone beyond the boundary of the world, guiding and gathering Heavenly Demons, tearing open the Boundary Sky Passage, allowing the Heavenly Demons to infiltrate the Yu Heng World, arranging the Heavenly Demon Array, and establishing the magic den?”

“Could it be someone from the Fragrance Sect?”

“Moreover, although the cultivator was only half-visible, his ability to make all the Heavenly Demon Lords bow down to him indicates that he is a powerful Spirit Transformation Expert, equivalent to a Heavenly Demon God.”

Han Yi suddenly thought of a possibility. He had doubted before that Star River Monarch was behind the plot and that the magic den was created by the Fragrance Sect. Combining this with the memories of the Heavenly Demon King, it was not difficult to deduce a potential conclusion.

“Could this cultivator be the Sect Master of the Fragrance Sect?”

Han Yi shook his head, suppressing the many speculations in his mind. Regardless of what the Fragrance Sect intended to do, he had secretly decided not to participate, as his current strength as a small Golden Core cultivator was no match for such a behemoth, and it was tantamount to seeking death.

He had no power to take revenge, and his greatest hope was for the magic den to end as soon as possible, allowing the Xuandan Sect to break free from this terrifying vortex. As his strength grew in the future, he would slowly exact his revenge.

He looked down, where the final stage of the battle was taking place.

However, in just a few short minutes, even though he had slain the Heavenly Demon King first, the battle proceeded below, with inevitable casualties and even a Foundation Establishment elder losing his life when his Divine Soul was extinguished by the Heavenly Demon.

Han Yi showed no emotion towards all of this. While the magic den was dangerous, it also served as a way to temper cultivators. Only when faced with imminent death could they reach their full potential.

Besides, he wasn’t their babysitter. He couldn’t always protect the people below, especially since the Xuandan Sect needed more talented cultivators to step up, rather than a group of mediocre ones.

“Han Junior Brother, was that the Soul-Slaying Soul Skill you mentioned just now?” Zhuge Wu You asked solemnly, standing in front of Han Yi.

Han Yi nodded. He had already told Zhuge Wu You about his few Soul Skills beforehand, dispelling some of his concerns.

“Senior Brother, I have just checked the memory of this Heavenly Demon King and glimpsed some scattered fragments. The magic den is very likely not caused by natural Boundary Sky cracks, which allowed the Heavenly Demons to infiltrate the Yu Heng World. Instead, a cultivator has been guiding them secretly.”

“This matter is far from simple, and we must not act recklessly.”

Han Yi informed him of his findings via a voice transmission. He did not reveal that he had seen the image of a suspected Spirit Transformation Expert, but instead provided a similar message.

Zhuge Wu You’s eyebrows jumped, but the surprise on his face was not too strong.

“I have a feeling that the magic den this time is not simple at all.”

“Besides the choice of Shu Du, a huge Immortal City like this, there’s the current situation…”

At this point, Zhuge Wu You paused and continued his voice transmission.

“Shu Du is the territory of the National Guardian Duke. It’s impossible for him not to react to the appearance of the magic den. Moreover, apart from the National Guardian Duke, there are many Nascent Soul True Monarchs in Shu Du. They should have uprooted the Heavenly Demon Array in the magic den and destroyed it long ago..”
