Chapter 638: Chapter 233: Demon Clan Leader Conference, Scheming Against Human Cultivators (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
Under the Beast Swamp, in the underground world.
Inside the Fu Family’s backyard dungeon.
As Hu Weiyong was casting his Enchantment Art, the imprisoned Immortal Dynasty cultivator didn’t even put up a fight and was instantly captivated.
Immediately, a charming voice echoed in his mind, drowning out everything else.
“Sleep now, and then tell me why you suddenly came to the Beast Swamp? And how many of you are there?”
As Hu Weiyong was entrancing the Human Cultivator, Fu Yuanpei was standing quietly to the side, equally focused, waiting for the reply.
In the dungeon, the Human Cultivator, his face blank, seemed to consider Hu Weiyong’s questions before mechanically responding.
“We, disciples following an Ancestor, came from the Longevity Immortal City to the Beast Swamp to chase down the remnants of the Seeking the Truth Lineage. There are forty-two of us, all Nascent Soul Masters or above.”
“Ancestor? Seeking the Truth Lineage Remnants?”
Upon hearing these keywords, Hu Weiyong and Fu Yuanpei turned pale. An entity addressed as an ‘Ancestor’ by a Nascent Soul Cultivator was definitely not an ordinary cultivator.
However, what caught their attention more were the four words, ‘Seeking the Truth Lineage’. This exact terminology appeared in the ancestral teachings of the Demon Clan.
Or rather, the current situation in the Beast Swamp was due to the so-called Human Clan of the Seeking the Truth Lineage setting foot here.
As they thought of this, Fu Yuanpei and Hu Weiyong looked at each other. Hu Weiyong then resumed his questioning after calming his emotions.
“Who is the ‘Ancestor’ you speak of, and how did the remnants of the Seeking the Truth Lineage come about?”
“Our Ancestor is Chunyangzi, one of the Refinement Void Dao Monarchs of the East Victory Immortal Dynasty. Previously, they sent me and other disciples to support Elder Feng Yuan.
However, the reason we came to the Beast Swamp to find remnants of the Seeking the Truth Lineage is because everything is going wrong in the Immortal City for Elder Feng Yuan.
After all, for Elder Feng Yuan, the Immortal City’s Fortune has been affected by the Seeking the Truth Lineage. Therefore, the Ancestor made his move by entering the beast tide in search of opportunity and plotting against the remnants of the Seeking the Truth Lineage to gain more merit.”
Upon hearing this, Fu Yuanpei and Hu Weiyong finally understood the Human Cultivator’s backstory. Following these leads, Hu Weiyong asked about every detail about their circumstances.
However, as more details emerged, unrest grew in his heart, as he found their situation to be worse than they had imagined.
After all, who would have thought that a Human Dao Lord of the Refinement Void Level would personally come to the Beast Swamp? In front of such a being, even Hu Weiyong and Fu Yuanpei, both Demon Emperors, would be insignificant.
When no more information could be extracted, the Human Cultivator passed out and was once again confined in the dungeon.
Meanwhile, Fu Yuanpei and Hu Weiyong returned to their room, sitting there wordlessly with grim expressions for a while.
After a long time, it seemed like they had finally digested the information; Fu Yuanpei then spoke again, his face solemn.
“It seems we must gather for the Clan Leaders Conference. It’s been a long while since we’ve all come together.”
Hu Weiyong nodded in agreement, knowing that under such circumstances, they must unite for the common cause if they wished to prevent anything untoward from happening.
Humans were ultimately not their own kind. The Seeking the Truth Lineage, which was rumored to be connected to the underground world, hadn’t shown up even once, had they?
Considering this, he readily agreed, “I have no objections to it. Besides, after so many years, it has to be said that we have become accustomed to our peaceful lives.
We previously thought that the ‘great catastrophe’ mentioned in the ancestral lessons was nonsense, but now, it seems like we were naive. This so-called great catastrophe seems to have just begun.
A Dao Lord of the Refinement Void Level…”
Saying this, Hu Weiyong did not feel confident that he could withstand a Dao Lord with such great might, it was probably the greatest crisis he had faced in his life.
However, he was not entirely panicked. They had their own trump cards given the years they had passed, and the various major Demon Families in the underground world had their own hidden strengths.
What worried him was the possibility that the Refinement Void Dao Lord might not be the ultimate enemy. If that happened, their fate might be too dreadful to contemplate.
Both of them were anxious, but it was not the time for such sentiments. Fu Yuanpei thus put aside his worries.
After lifting his head to make eye contact with Hu Weiyong and giving a slight nod, they tacitly agreed to call a meeting of the leaders of the various demon families. They would convene the Clan Leaders Conference.
This was not a matter concerning one family, but the entire underground demon race. At this time, Fu Yuanpei even felt somewhat grateful in his heart.
If the Human Clan had not happened to enter the Beast Swamp and encounter Qin Ai, they would have been unprepared and suffered extensive casualties if the humans suddenly appeared in the underground world.
Without any hesitation, Fu Yuanpei and Hu Weiyong both formed a hand seal and chanted a unique spell. In an instant, a subtle Qi emanated from their hands and spread throughout the entire underground world.
Immediately after, a radiant light appeared in the sky above the underground world, prompting the various underground demonic beasts to instinctively look upwards.
What was happening?
It had been a long time since the last Clan Leaders Conference was held. Most of the regular demonic beasts of the underground world didn’t know the significance of such a conference.
However, the true-blooded descendants of the major demon families were taken aback. They never expected the signal for the Clan Leaders Conference to suddenly appear.
