A hidden location in Fengxin Pavilion, Cloud Central City.
Bright Moon Consort was cultivating cross-legged when suddenly her expression shifted, and a palm-sized mirror appeared in her hand.
She chanted an incantation and tapped the mirror, and an excited voice came from within it.
"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, Lord Blackhorn has pinpointed the exact location of the Demon Realm and is preparing to immediately activate the Tiangang Breaking Boundary Great Formation to open a passage and welcome the descent of the Demon God."
Hearing the voice from the mirror, a beautiful smile appeared on Bright Moon Consort's face.
She murmured to herself,
"After more than a hundred years of preparation, the passage can finally be opened. I hope there are no more accidents this time. As long as the Demon Clan Army descends, it will surely cause chaos in Yu Fan Heaven, which will be enough to keep Dao Saint Sect busy for a while."
Bright Moon Consort pointed her finger and then transmitted a message through the mirror.
"Pay attention to the movements around Mirror Void City. I'll be there right away."
"Understood."
After the call ended, Bright Moon Consort shouted loudly to the outside.
"Someone!"
A Scarface quickly came before her and respectfully called out,
"What are your orders, Pavilion Master?"
"The passage is about to open. Inform the Li family, we are going to Mirror Void City immediately."
"Understood."
Scarface responded excitedly.
Soon, Bright Moon Consort led four people and quickly flew out of the city.
After leaving the city, a group of people from the Li family were already waiting outside the city. However, the leader was not the Family Head, Li Jiuming, but a ruddy-faced Old Ancestor.
The aura emanating from the Old Ancestor was clearly that of a Soul Transformation Cultivator.
This person was precisely the Li family's Old Ancestor, Li Jiangxiong.
More than two hundred years ago, news spread that Li Jiangxiong had passed away.
However, no one knew that Li Jiangxiong was not only alive but had also achieved a Breakthrough to the Soul Transformation realm.
When Li Jiangxiong saw Bright Moon Consort arrive, he hurried forward and respectfully called out,
"Greetings, Pavilion Master."
Bright Moon Consort nodded in acknowledgment, then waved her right hand, and an exquisite flying boat appeared in mid-air.
"Let's go."
The group quickly boarded the flying boat and flew rapidly towards Mirror Void City.
...
About a thousand miles outside Mirror Void City, Zhang Yuhe had been quietly following behind the green-robed Cultivator.
The talisman soldier, formed from a talisman paper, was hidden in the shadow of one of the green-robed Cultivators.
This group of green-robed Cultivators flew slowly all the way, occasionally stopping to check the operation of the warning Formation.
Zhang Yuhe was not in a hurry; he just followed unhurriedly.
After about half a day, this group of green-robed Cultivators finally finished checking the last warning Formation.
The leading green-robed Cultivator let out a soft sigh of relief, then smiled and said to the others,
"We've finally finished checking everything. Let's go back."
Seeing the green-robed Cultivators flying towards Mirror Void City, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
"Are they finally going back? Now I should be able to see the situation in Mirror Void City, right?"
He controlled the talisman soldier, following closely within the shadow.
Zhang Yuhe concealed his figure and separated a wisp of Divine Sense to observe the surroundings of the green-robed Cultivator through the talisman soldier.
After about less than a quarter of an hour, the green-robed Cultivator appeared outside a city.
Zhang Yuhe looked forward through the talisman soldier and saw the three large characters "Mirror Void City" faintly visible above the city wall.
However, he did not see a single person outside the city.
The phenomenon of people coming and going in other cities did not appear in this Mirror Void City.
Not only were there no people visible outside the city, but even the city gates of Mirror Void City were tightly closed.
The entire Mirror Void City subtly exuded a strange aura.
When the leading green-robed Cultivator took out an identity token and sent a message, the tightly closed city gates slowly opened a gap.
The green-robed Cultivator passed through the city gate and quickly flew into the city. Zhang Yuhe controlled the talisman soldier, following closely in the shadow.
At this moment, a cold-faced middle-aged man suddenly appeared.
When the green-robed Cultivator saw this suddenly appearing middle-aged man, he immediately called out respectfully,
"Greetings, Sixth Uncle."
The middle-aged man nodded and then asked,
"Nothing happened, did it?"
The leading green-robed Cultivator quickly replied,
"Reporting to Sixth Uncle, everything outside is normal, and none of the warning Formations have been triggered."
"Good."
The middle-aged man took out a Formation Plate, checked the group of green-robed Cultivators, and then said,
"You are dismissed. Go back and rest."
"Understood."
Seeing the green-robed Cultivators preparing to leave, Zhang Yuhe suddenly had an idea.
He quietly controlled the talisman soldier to move under the shadow of the middle-aged man named Sixth Uncle.
Although there was a distance of over a thousand miles, Zhang Yuhe could not perceive this person's aura through the talisman soldier.
But it was obvious that this Sixth Uncle's status in the He family was much higher than that of the previous green-robed Cultivators.
Zhang Yuhe thought that by having the talisman soldier follow this person, he might be able to see more information.
After the green-robed Cultivators left, the middle-aged man stood up and flew towards a certain place within the city.
The talisman soldier followed closely in the middle-aged man's shadow, quietly trailing behind.
Zhang Yuhe looked into the city through the talisman soldier and saw that there was not a single person visible on the streets of Mirror Void City.
The entire Mirror Void City was like a dead city.
Countless He family Cultivators seemed to be staying in their Immortal Caves to Cultivate, rarely coming out unless necessary.
"Hmm? What's that?"
Suddenly, Zhang Yuhe noticed that the central area of the city was enveloped by a large expanse of black mist.
He carefully observed through the talisman soldier and saw a huge platform faintly visible in the middle of the black mist.
One hundred and eight black pillars soaring into the sky were arranged around the platform in sequence.
Above the platform, there was also a horned monster sitting cross-legged within it.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Yuhe's heart couldn't help but tremble.
"As expected, it's a Demon Race."
The Dao Saint Sect's Book Building had a rich collection of books, including many introductions to the Demon Race.
Although the talisman soldier only saw a rough silhouette, Zhang Yuhe could recognize at a glance that the silhouette sitting cross-legged on the platform was a Demon Race.
According to the descriptions in the books, the overall appearance of the Demon Race was similar to that of the Human Race, but they would have some special features.
For example, this horned monster silhouette should be one of the Horned Demon Clan.
Zhang Yuhe quickly took out his identity jade token.
Since he had indeed discovered a Demon Race, he naturally had to send a message to the Sect.
Although only one Demon Race had been seen so far, and the imagined scene of the Demon Clan Army descending had not appeared.
However, he had no intention of rushing over by himself to subdue demons and devils.
The talisman soldier was too far away and could not sense the Demon Race's aura.
Who knew what strength this Demon Race possessed?
What if it was a big BOSS?
It was more reliable to send a message to the Sect and call for reinforcements.
If there was trouble, everyone should go together; there was no need for him to seek the limelight alone.
Zhang Yuhe chanted an incantation, extended his hand, and tapped the jade token. After a moment, Lu Mingfang's familiar voice came from the jade token.
"What is it?"
"Reporting to Elder, Disciple discovered a Demon Race in Yunzhong Prefecture."
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfang stood up solemnly.
"Where was the Demon Race found? Is it alive or dead? Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
This was Zhang Yuhe's first time leaving the Sect, and Lu Mingfang was somewhat worried that he lacked experience and might mistake the Demon Race.
It was better to confirm, otherwise, if it turned out to be a false alarm, it would be a joke.
Moreover, not all Demon Race were necessarily alive. After all, a hundred thousand years had passed, and the Demon Race's lifespan was not unlimited.
Most of the original invading Demon Race, even if not annihilated, had already passed away.
There were truly not many Demon Race left alive in the entire Yu Fan Heaven.
So he needed to confirm with Zhang Yuhe. If it was a dead Demon Race, he could just bring the corpse back.
Hearing Lu Mingfang's continuous questions, Zhang Yuhe clearly replied,
"Alive. I couldn't be mistaken. It's a Horned Demon Clan, located in Mirror Void City of Yunzhong Prefecture."
"Oh, and besides the Demon Race, Mirror Void City has been strangely set up with a peculiar altar at some unknown time, with one hundred and eight black pillars erected around the altar. That Demon Race is sitting cross-legged on the altar, but I don't know its purpose."
"Tiangang Breaking Boundary Great Formation?"
After listening to Zhang Yuhe's description, Lu Mingfang's surprised voice came from the jade token.
Immediately after, Lu Mingfang said seriously,
"Stay where you are and do not act rashly. I will send people to support you immediately."
