Chapter 673: Chapter 296: Five Years, Sea Eye, and Human Ties (Part 2)

Unexpectedly, on the island was a elder from his own clan!

Under the care of the Ancient Elephant Saint, General Wei has greatly increased his strength over six years!

The other party, as the oldest existence on Nine Saints Island, had formidable power and, unlike the other saints, never took disciples. Naturally, General Wei became his successor.

In six years, General Wei rose from Third Grade to the level of Nirvana, and there was even a faint intention to break through once again.

Much faster than Xu Guang’s cultivation improvement.

"How is he now?"

General Wei sensed Xu Guang’s state and let out two low roars.

Yuan Shuang’s expression was strange.

...

In the distance, several magnificent beings stood on the sea surface.

"Tianwu, if anything happens to my disciple, this matter won’t end well."

Saint Zixiao had an unhappy expression, looking unfriendly at King Tianwu.

Yan Ruge was her direct disciple, also her last disciple.

She intended to cultivate Yan Ruge to Five Realms Qi Refiner before breaking through to the Fire Raising Realm, possibly departing Heaven.

Unexpectedly, Yan Ruge disappeared after entering Mihai Celestial Capital once.

Over the years, she had been searching.

If it weren’t for her elder brother’s descendant being Xu Guang’s partner, she might truly have clashed with King Tianwu.

King Tianwu’s expression remained unchanged.

"Regardless of your disciple’s disappearance, what does it have to do with my disciple Xu Guang? Do you truly think you have the qualification to clash with me?"

The ridicule in his words was full.

Saint Zixiao’s expression didn’t change, she just calmly said, "This is Canghai."

However, she acknowledged the other’s words in her heart, there is indeed a distinction between saints and true kings.

It’s difficult for martial practice to become a true king, none of these famous martial true kings are not notorious stars.

The relationship between martial artists and cultivators is quite strange. Before the Saint Realm, cultivators can completely suppress Martial Dao.

But after the Saint Realm, Martial Dao becomes terrifyingly strong.

If ten saints and ten true kings clash, at least eight saint kings would win.

Lingchuan Saint hurried forward, "Alright, say less, General Wei mentioned that Xu Guang and Yan Ruge are closely related, maybe you two might become in-laws."

Upon these words, both sides instantly looked toward him.

Their expressions quite unfriendly.

Lingchuan Saint kept silent.

"I’m not discussing this with you, you should have received Yuxiao’s message, what do you think?"

After a period of silence, King Tianwu slowly brought up the matter.

The saints behind Master Qingsong had already met with them and said they would act against the sea clan at the agreed time, to secure a chance for Xu Guang and others in Mihai to escape.

The three were now discussing this matter again.

"This matter is credible, I have already received Xu Guang’s message."

King Tianwu spoke.

Saint Zixiao nodded upon hearing this.

...

Starfall Cliff, situated in the extreme north of Mihai, is an abrupt and towering large black mountain, with cliff walls steep like knife cuts, and the top flat as if sliced by some great force.

Here is perpetually enveloped in chaotic energy flows, space seems somewhat distorted, it’s a rare perilous place in Mihai where even demons do not wish to approach easily.

When Xu Guang and Yan Ruge quietly reached the cliff top, the scene that greeted them made their hearts sink.

On the cliff top, it wasn’t just Master Qingsong and his few trusted followers. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Clearly divided into two distinct groups!

One side was led by Master Qingsong, the middle-aged sword cultivator "Duanyue," and the elegant "Lancang Fairy," human race cultivators numbering around ten, each with condensed aura and vigilant expressions.

The other side, led by the Black Tortoise Demon King and Blood Shark Demon King, was the demon power with larger numbers, demon qi soaring to the sky, looking at the newly arrived Xu Guang and Yan Ruge with unfriendly eyes.

The atmosphere was extremely tense, with swords drawn and bows bent.

Master Qingsong saw Xu Guang, showing a helpless bitter smile, quickly explaining through transmission.

"Mr. Xu, the situation changed suddenly. That Ghost Bone guy, unknown where he got the information, leaked the matter of the sea eye to the demon clan. Now they want to share a piece, forcibly breaking into the sea eye."

Xu Guang’s gaze swept across the opposite side, immediately feeling several murderous gazes locked onto him, especially the Black Tortoise Demon King, whose glare seemed to be spewing fire. If not for the occasion, it would have already charged.

"Qingsong! Is this the ’key’ you found? A little thief who only hides and kills my clan colleagues!"

The Blood Shark Demon King took the lead to attack, staring fiercely at Xu Guang with red eyes, "Today is perfect, let’s settle the new and old grievances together!"

The Black Tortoise Demon King stepped forward, its vast demonic power pressed toward Xu Guang like a mountain: "Xu Guang! Bring your life here!"

The human race cultivators immediately tensed up, Master Duanyue’s hand already on the sword hilt, and Lancang Fairy’s starlight faintly appearing around her.

Master Qingsong furrowed his brows, intending to speak to mediate.

At the critical moment, a deep voice like thunder, carrying an ancient barbaric aura, sounded from the rear of the demon ranks.

"Stop."

The voice wasn’t loud, yet it seemed to carry a strange magic, causing the restless demon qi to halt.

The demons looked towards the sound, only to see a figure not particularly tall among the demon crowd, but it gave an exceptionally heavy and solid feeling.

Its appearance was elephant-like, covered in dark golden dragon scales, limbs like heavenly pillars, trunk long like a dragon’s body, eyes opening and closing as if sun, moon, and stars floated within.

It was none other than the Dragon Elephant Great Demon!

The Dragon Elephant Great Demon didn’t look at the Black Tortoise or Burning Sky demon kings; its gaze passed over everyone and fell directly on Xu Guang, carrying a trace of exploration and recollection, finally transforming into an inexplicable gentleness.

"You carry the scent of someone I know." The Dragon Elephant Great Demon’s voice rumbled.

Xu Guang’s heart trembled, instantly recognizing upon seeing the appearance!

General Wei! It was General Wei’s aura!

He had long been accompanied by General Wei and inevitably carried his unique ancient elephant aura, unexpectedly getting sensed by the Dragon Elephant Great Demon in the depths of Mihai!

What was even more unexpected was that here, there was a demon with ancient elephant bloodline.

"Does senior know General Wei?" Xu Guang cupped his hands, asking neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The Dragon Elephant Great Demon had a trace of reminiscence in its eyes: "I haven’t seen a descendant of the same clan for a long time, who is his father?"

After a moment of silence, Xu Guang softly replied, "Descendant of the Saint Realm Elephant King."

The Dragon Elephant Great Demon seemed to smile at this, then turned to the Black Tortoise, Burning Sky, and other demon kings, its voice returning to plain yet carrying indisputable authority. "This child, I protect. The matter of the sea eye is urgent, personal grievances, put aside for now."

"Dragon Elephant Senior! He killed my..." the Black Tortoise Demon King unwillingly tried to argue.

"Hm?" The Dragon Elephant Great Demon just glanced at it lightly, an invisible heavy pressure that seemed able to crush the heavens instantly enveloped the Black Tortoise Demon King, causing its words to get stuck in its throat, its massive body to tremble slightly, revealing a look of fear in its eyes.

Master Qingsong also spoke timely, his voice low: "What Dragon Elephant has said is reasonable. The sea eye concerns whether we can escape, it is currently the first priority. Personal grudges, it can be discussed after leaving Mihai."

The Dragon Elephant Great Demon spoke, and despite the deep reluctance of the Black Tortoise and Burning Sky demon kings, they could only forcefully suppress their anger, glaring hard at Xu Guang without saying more.

Master Qingsong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looking deeply at Xu Guang, not expecting this child to have such an opportunity.

He was actually acquainted with the City Lord of Dark Abyss City?

The relationship seemed quite close, which was truly peculiar.

He cleared his throat, and began to speak. "Since all parties have arrived, the goals are consistent, let’s discuss the order and procedure to enter the sea eye. Inside the sea eye, space overlaps, with hidden crises, caution is necessary."

After not exactly friendly but highly efficient negotiations, it was finally decided that the Dragon Elephant Great Demon, Xu Guang, and Yan Ruge would be the first group of pioneers.

This was at the Dragon Elephant Great Demon’s request.

Why this was, Xu Guang was unsure.

However, Xu Guang had already guessed the Dragon Elephant Great Demon’s identity.

General Wei’s grandfather was a Saint Realm Demon King, who suffered disaster, with the ancient elephant group’s descendants scattering.

General Wei’s father, being a bloodline descendant, fled to Li Taizhou.

The one before him... could likely be General Wei’s... uncle.

If he had known this connection, would he still have endured such grievances in Mihai?????
