The Five Elders of Shu Mountain are one of the symbols of the Shu Mountain Immortal Sect.

Since the founding patriarch a thousand years ago, the power of Shu Mountain has always been divided among five people, with the Sect Leader as the most respected and the four Elders as assistants. At its peak, all five Elders of Shu Mountain were True Lords!

Although this decentralizes power, it allows Shu Mountain to possess greater potential.

Now that Shu Mountain is almost destroyed, it will inevitably cause a huge shock in the world. The fall of Daoist Shenxu also requires a True Lord to fill the void.

In fact, many people can guess that Sword Pavilion is a branch of Shu Mountain, so it will not seem too abrupt and can also increase the power of Shu Mountain.

This time, almost half of Shu Mountain's foundation was used, greatly reducing its deterrent power. It is also necessary to add another True Lord to enhance Shu Mountain's strength until Chongxu becomes one of the Five Elders of Shu Mountain.

Shu Mountain will then possess three True Lord-level powerhouses, and its strength will still be terrifying!

This is also the best choice for Shu Mountain at present.

"This time, thank you all fellow Daoists for your help." Daoist Lingxu looked solemnly at Chen Yuan, Jiang He, and Zhao Danqing nearby, his tone sincere.

If it hadn't been for their help, Shu Mountain would have been in great danger today, and it would probably have had to sacrifice all of its foundation to resist this demon calamity.

Among them, Chen Yuan's help was the greatest.

He not only brought in Jiang He and Zhao Danqing, but also offered advice and pointed out that they should secretly set up another layer of formation to weaken the power of the original mountain gate formation.

He killed the Nine Spider Demon Saint, and made Zhao Danqing hide in the Demon Suppressing Tower to wait for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

It can be said that a large part of the credit for this battle of Shu Mountain goes to Chen Yuan.

"I was paid to do the job, it's only right and proper. Chen has claimed the Demon God Flower, so naturally I have to take action. Moreover, humans and demons are irreconcilable. The demon race attacked Shu Mountain, even if Chen wasn't an official, as a member of the human race, I would have a duty to do so!"

Chen Yuan said in a deep voice.

He did not directly flaunt any justice in front of these people. They are all old foxes of hundreds of years, not those ignorant commoners, so there is no need to play other tricks.

Such frankness may bring unexpected surprises.

"Jiang has received the grace of Shu Mountain, and this battle is only to repay that debt."

"This Daoist was invited by Marquis Wuan. If you want to thank someone, thank Marquis Wuan." Zhao Danqing did not take the credit. He was still thinking about what Chen Yuan had said earlier.

Could there be something wrong with the black-robed man's identity?

Now that he thinks about it carefully, it does seem a little familiar.

"Thank you, Marquis Wuan. Shu Mountain will definitely repay this kindness in the future." Daoist Lingxu cupped his hands. Although Chen Yuan did indeed take Shu Mountain's Demon God Flower, which could be considered as taking action for profit.

However, the Demon God Flower was, after all, in the dangerous Demon Suppressing Tower, and he took it himself. Today, he desperately killed the Demon Saint of the Xuan Tian Divine Spider clan and tore off a claw from the Heavenly Peng.

It can be said that he bet everything. The Demon God Flower alone was not enough for him to do so.

Therefore, Daoist Lingxu actually had a new level of respect for this person.

In his heart, he also had new plans.

He originally thought that he was just opportunistic and scheming, but now it seems that he himself also has a passion and is willing to fight for the human race, which is much better than the current Sima family, who sit on the throne.

With his talent, which is rare in a thousand years, one day, he may be able to reproduce the style of the former Great Chu Dynasty and become the next Chu Taizu!.... This time, Chen Yuan didn't say much, his eyes were calm, and he accepted Daoist Lingxu's salute calmly, saying:

"Now, the traces of those demons are already unpredictable. Thinking about these things is just a waste of effort. Daoist Lingxu should first take care of Shu Mountain."

"Marquis Wuan is right."

Daoist Lingxu nodded, then invited them to stay in Shu Mountain for a few more days. Because he had his own plans, Chen Yuan did not refuse.

Shu Mountain is a sacred place for sword cultivators. Jiang He thought about it, and it would be good to recuperate here. He could also exchange sword techniques with three Sword Cultivator True Lords, which was better than in Qingzhou.

As for Zhao Danqing, if Chen Yuan hadn't transmitted a message to him earlier, he would have left. But seeing that he said it so solemnly, he also planned to listen carefully.

Without much hesitation, Lingxu and the others returned to Shu Mountain.

As far as the eye could see, the former blessed land of immortals, the Sword Sect Immortal Gate, was no longer there. Instead, there was chaos and destruction...

The mountain peaks collapsed, the ground cracked, and countless palace buildings were destroyed. Only a few important palaces, such as the Taiji Hall, still stood.

The loss was undeniably great.

Even now, the place is still filled with a murderous aura.

This is actually normal. Although Shu Mountain is a blessed land of immortals, with formations protecting it everywhere, and even the earth vein formations connected to it, it was, after all, a confrontation between True Lords and Demon Saints.

And there was more than one. Counting carefully, the True Lords and Demon Saints who participated in the battle had reached fourteen!

This is definitely a terrifying number. Even in the Central Plains in the past hundred years, there has never been such a large-scale melee of True Lords. One can imagine how terrifying it was.

Even a Yang Shen True Lord can have the power to overturn mountains and seas, and with more than ten times that power, the destructive power is self-evident. Moreover, in addition to the True Lord melee, there was also a battle between Demon Gods and Sword Immortals.

Every strike could turn the world upside down and change the color of the sky.

Even if Shu Mountain was strong, it could never withstand such terrifying power.

The only fortunate thing was that Shu Mountain had foreseen the attack of the demon race in advance and made preparations for the war, allowing the disciples to enter the secret realm in an orderly manner to hide.

Otherwise, even if Shu Mountain had the support of three True Lords, once there was a break in the ranks, it would be an immeasurable blow, and it might not be able to recover in a hundred years.

After all, those disciples with lower cultivation levels could not resist the aftermath of that level of war.

Qingxu Daoist looked at what Shu Mountain used to be and what it had become now, and couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart, a trace of sorrow appearing in his eyes as he slowly shook his head.

Daoist Lingxu's eyes were heavy. As long as the Shu Mountain disciples were not severely injured, it would not take long for them to restore their former glory.

The original immortal phantoms had long since dissipated. Daoist Lingxu reached out and grasped the Immortal Slaughtering Sword. A sword slashed across the sky, piercing the firmament and dispersing the dark clouds in the sky.

A ray of golden sunlight shone down on Shu Mountain, illuminating the place and the human world.

Yangxu and Zhenxu, the two Daoists, one held the tattered body of Daoist Shenxu, and the other opened the secret realm to let the Shu Mountain disciples out.

When those Shu Mountain disciples dressed in white saw the situation in front of them, they were mostly stunned in place. It seemed that they had not expected that this battle would be so tragic, as if the earth dragon had turned over, rolling the entire Shu Mountain over once.... Even they were so shocked, one can imagine how great a shock it would cause to the world when news of today's battle spread.

......

......

Nanzhou, inside a certain mountain range.

Suddenly, a series of unusual rays of light lit up, and ripples appeared in the void. Zhennan King Nangong Lie was the first to walk out of the teleportation formation, the expression under his black robe somewhat unsightly.

This time, he had hidden his identity to help the demon race break through Shu Mountain's mountain gate formation, intending to take the Demon God Flower as a reward, but he didn't get anything.

Not only that, but he was also beaten up by Zhao Danqing, who was wielding the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Mirror. If he hadn't been strong enough, he might have been planted there today.

But even if he didn't expose his identity, he didn't feel good. He wasn't seriously injured, but the injury wasn't light either.

After a little calculation, it was a huge loss!

His face naturally wouldn't look good.

After Nangong Lie walked out of the teleportation formation, the second person was the Tongbei Demon Saint of the Mixed Heaven Divine Ape clan, whose expression was also not very good-looking, just like Nangong Lie.

Then, the Heavenly Peng Demon Saint and the huge Bull Demon Great Saint also walked out together.

The Soul-Devouring Demon Saint of the Crimson Nether Blood Tiger clan walked at the end. After he walked out, he immediately destroyed the teleportation formation, lest he be caught up by someone, which would be too dangerous.

They were basically all injured now and could not resist those True Lord powerhouses from Shu Mountain earlier.

Compared to the joy before attacking Shu Mountain, now, their faces were almost the same color, the only difference was that the original seven Demon Saints gathered at Shu Mountain.

Now, only four have returned alive!

"Soul-Devourer, the death of Daoist Nine-Spider is inseparable from you. You alone will bear the pressure from the Xuan Tian Divine Spider clan!" The Bull Demon Great Saint said in a muffled voice.

Bai Niansheng was killed by a sneak attack, and no one could complain, but the Nine-Spider Demon Saint was different. He really had a chance to rescue him, but he used him as a shield.

He took the opportunity to feint and shatter the Demon Suppressing Tower, so his merits and demerits should be borne by him alone.

"It's a pity for Daoist Linshan." The Tongbei Demon Saint slowly shook his head, but didn't say too much. After all, it was the death of Linshan, a demon, that saved the lives of all the Demon Saints.

Moreover, Linshan was a Demon Saint of the Crimson Nether Blood Tiger clan, so his own people would take care of their own affairs. He couldn't manage so much and just sighed.

The Heavenly Peng Demon Saint on the side didn't say a word, but his brows were also tightly furrowed.

The strength of the Heavenly Peng clan was not as good as that of the Mixed Heaven Divine Ape clan, so they were weak and naturally didn't have much say. But this time, Soul-Devourer was the leader, and so many Demon Saints were lost.

He had almost lost an arm and suffered a serious injury, so there had to be an explanation...

Nangong Lie's eyes were cold, and he remained silent.

Soul-Devourer sighed lightly:

"This time, we were careless, but don't put all the blame on me. Even if you were to replace me, who could have done better?"

His words were rough but true.

Before the fight, who could have expected that Shu Mountain had foreseen their attack in advance?

Originally, the seven Demon Saints plus Zhennan King Nangong Lie would have been a total of eight Demon Saint combat powers, which would definitely overwhelm the entire Shu Mountain. If there were no accidents, it might have been possible to destroy Shu Mountain.

However, Shu Mountain had made too many preparations in advance!

Not only did they invite several True Lords as reinforcements, but they also had a True Lord hide inside the Demon Suppressing Tower, causing Bai Niansheng to fall quickly. They also prepared a second major formation in advance, cutting off their retreat. They had to fight to the death, otherwise, they should have retreated after breaking the Demon Suppressing Tower....

"Hmph!"

The Tongbei Demon Saint snorted coldly, his eyes subtly turning to Nangong Lie. He was the only human here, so if the news had been leaked, he was the most likely one.

Also, he hadn't used his full strength during the fight, only delaying a human True Lord. It was inevitable that he was suspected of acting and slacking off.

The Bull Demon Great Saint also looked at him, the meaning self-evident.

Nangong Lie frowned:

"Daoist Tongbei, what do you mean? Could it be that you suspect that this king leaked the news to the Shu Mountain side in advance?"

"That's right, that's exactly what I mean."

"What a joke. You didn't make preparations yourself, but instead, you want to blame this king. It's normal to have this defeat today."

"Nangong Lie, are you looking for death?" Tongbei's eyes narrowed, wanting to attack.

"Looking for death? With just you?" The black robe on Nangong Lie's body suddenly scattered, revealing his true face. The golden divine mace appeared in his hand, and he stared directly at the Tongbei Demon Saint, saying:

"We couldn't act in Shu Mountain because this king couldn't reveal his identity, but in terms of strength, do you really think this king can't kill you?"

He was already very aggrieved, and now Tongbei Demon Saint's words had also aroused his anger.

"It seems that Daoist Nangong really has a problem. What, do you really want to fight?" The Heavenly Peng Demon Saint frowned, vaguely sealing off his retreat with the Tongbei Demon Saint.

"So what if we fight? Even if the two of you attack together, this king is not afraid!"

"Enough!"

Soul-Devourer scolded, a look of displeasure flashing in his eyes:

"Daoist Nangong definitely doesn't have a problem. You two Daoists are too easily alarmed. You both saw the previous fight. If it were you two who went to resist that powerhouse wielding the divine mirror, I'm afraid you would have died long ago, right?"

"You..."

The Tongbei Demon Saint's eyes narrowed, and he vaguely exuded a dangerous aura.

"You guys continue to argue. This king won't keep you company." Nangong Lie ignored everyone and turned around to leave directly.

"This damn human, what is there to be arrogant about in front of us? If we leak his identity and details, we will definitely make him die without a burial place."

Looking at Nangong Lie's arrogant tone, the Heavenly Peng Demon Saint couldn't help but say in a condensed voice.

"Daoist Heavenly Peng, do you really think Nangong Lie is an idiot? Even if you say that he colluded with our Southern Border demon race, how many people would believe it?

Don't forget, he is one of the two great heter姓 kings of the Central Plains dynasty, already possessing immense power and guarding Nanzhou for hundreds of years, his reputation no less than that of the Northern Liang King Wei Jinfeng.

Moreover, when he meets with us, he is always wrapped in a black robe, unable to prove his identity. How can people believe it?"

"Is there no way to restrain him?"

The Heavenly Peng Demon Saint couldn't help but ask.

"Why restrain him? The Southern Border border pass is of great importance, being a natural barrier. Without the Demon God, who can break through it? Now that the Central Plains is in turmoil, it is the time for the Southern Border demon race to reap the benefits. This person is just a pawn. When the Central Plains situation stabilizes,

we can use his hand to suppress the three southern states with great force. Only then... will this be the way out for our demon race. Otherwise, if we directly attack with our demon race alone, not only will the losses be too great, but it will also attract the combined attack of the human heroes.

A Shu Mountain Immortal Sect is already so difficult to deal with. Don't forget, the human race has ten great Immortal Sects, and none of them are simple characters...." Soul-Devourer said in a deep voice.

"No wonder this person dares to be so unscrupulous."

"Let him be arrogant for a while. Without entering the Sixth Realm, he is ultimately no match for the Demon God. If he is unwilling to be used by our demon race when necessary, we can directly suppress him."

The Bull Demon Great Saint said coldly.

"That's right."

Soul-Devourer nodded.

Tongbei glanced at him:

"The human race trip has failed. The remaining matters will be left to Daoist Soul-Devourer. I still need to go back to cultivate, so I won't keep you company. Farewell!"

After saying that, he directly flew away.

The Heavenly Peng Demon Saint also cupped his hands:

"Farewell."

After the two of them left, Soul-Devourer turned to look at the Bull Demon Great Saint next to him and said:

"Thank you, Daoist, for the matter of the Heavenly Demon Tower."

"It's nothing..." The Bull Demon Great Saint shook his head. As long as the Heavenly Demon Tower was not lost and could be handed over, there would be no problem. When it came to losses, the Crimson Nether Blood Tiger clan suffered the most.

Not only did they lose a Demon Saint, but they also damaged the Demon Emperor Bell, a treasure of their clan, in Shu Mountain. In fact, he was very curious now as to what Soul-Devourer's purpose was.

If it was just to shatter the Demon Suppressing Tower, then the loss would be too great.

He then asked in a deep voice:

"Can Daoist Soul-Devourer tell this seat your true purpose? It would be good to know in my heart."

Soul-Devourer naturally would not tell the truth. After all, the Demon God's remnant soul was of great importance, so he just smiled faintly:

"The Demon Suppressing Tower concerns the face of our Southern Border demon race. It should have been shattered long ago. What purpose could there be?"

Seeing that Soul-Devourer was unwilling to say more, the Bull Demon Great Saint did not press further, but he had a feeling in his heart that the Crimson Nether Blood Tiger clan must have some plans for paying such a huge price.

After returning, he would have to report to the Demon God.

"If that's the case, then this seat will leave first. Daoist Soul-Devourer, please help yourself."

The Bull Demon Great Saint did not show any unusual expression on his face. He smiled, turned around and left, transforming into a stream of light in the void and disappearing into the secrets of heaven.

In an instant, only Soul-Devourer was left here. He let out a long breath and said softly:

"Old Ancestor, are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

A hoarse voice sounded in Soul-Devourer's ear, which also made him breathe a sigh of relief. At least this time, the goal had been achieved. The Crimson Nether Blood Tiger clan still had immortal soldiers and Demon Saints, but they lacked a Demon God.

Now, they could finally completely overwhelm the other three clans and have a chance to become the true royal family of the Southern Border.

"That's good..."

"Soul-Devourer, you did very well today. This matter has been noted by this seat, and there will be a chance to repay you in the future. The clan will not blame you for the death of Linshan and the damage to the Demon Emperor Bell."

"Thank you, Old Ancestor."

"It's nothing, after all, you and I will eventually be one." The voice in his ear sounded again, causing Soul-Devourer to be shocked and somewhat confused. He quickly asked:

"What do you mean, Old Ancestor?"

"Hehe..."

But what answered him was only a hoarse laugh. Wisps of black gas instantly poured into his spiritual platform, found the location of his demon soul, and then overwhelmed it.

He was already on his body. Even if his strength had been wiped out and only one-tenth remained, he was still a former Demon God after all. Under the sudden attack, Soul-Devourer's demon soul was enveloped by the black gas without preparation.

At this moment, Soul-Devourer finally understood what the Old Ancestor was going to do, but it was already too late. He covered his head with both hands, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he roared:

"Old Ancestor, I saved you, how can you... ah..."

"Soul-Devourer, resisting now is just futile. Don't you think about why you were the one who refined and controlled the Demon Emperor Bell? Hehe... because you were originally the body that Daoist Tianlan prepared for me."

"Ah!!!"

Soul-Devourer fell to the ground, transformed into a demon body, and kept roaring and struggling.....
