Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Chapter 217: Chapter 158: Plan to Kill Them All

As dusk arrived, the remnants of sunset bled like blood.

The lingering light of the sun filled the vast ocean, sparkling golden red amidst the waves, with the shadows of giant beasts flitting by, swimming beneath the water.

Amidst this peaceful scenery, the void was filled with a chilling killing intent.

Chu Zheng stood out of nowhere, surveying the four remaining demons, his eyes almost materializing his murderous intent.

For over a month, the number of sea demons he had killed was countless. Due to the progress of his physical body, his body had swelled significantly. Whenever he slightly stirred, his body would be enveloped by a visible layer of blood-red aura, like a god of slaughter on Earth, nearly condensing into substance.

"Please hold your hand! We are only ordered to come here to find the space portal!"

"The message from our clan said that soon there will be a path leading to the outer realm opening nearby, a path of life, and a Demon Emperor will meet us to leave the Cangyun Realm and avoid disaster."

"We mean no offense, please show mercy!"

Staring at the Lihuo Spear in Chu Zheng's hand, the four surviving demons, not even pausing to mourn their kin turned to ashes, hastened without hesitation to explain the purpose of their visit.

In their understanding, bowing to the strong was not shameful, or rather, the concept of shame was absent from their minds.

"Avoid disaster?"

Upon hearing these words, a spark shot through Chu Zheng's mind as he pressed, "Did the Demon Race know they were going to lose this battle well in advance and thus made preparations? Or is there another hidden reason? Where does the other end of the space portal lead to?"

In an instant, many thoughts crossed his mind, at least now he could confirm that the Northern Region Demon Race definitely had connections with the outer realms, otherwise, they would not consider opening a space portal here.

If not for the portal's location appearing specifically on the migration path of the Eastern Territory Song Clan, it likely wouldn't have been discovered by anyone until it opened.

The four demons exchanged glances and then simultaneously focused on a Wolf Demon among them, who had the strongest cultivation, already at Soul Condensing Realm Perfection. Aside from his green fur, his face had almost completely resembled that of the Human Race, just a step away from a full transformation.

Chu Zheng's gaze followed, landing on him, and his panel quickly transmitted succinct information.

[Qing Mu (Third Order): Belongs to the Green Wolf Tribe, recently succeeded as the Green Wolf Tribe Clan Leader, born with exceptionally strong bloodline power, shows signs of Ancestral Return, with space for certain bloodline transformations.]

"You answer."

Chu Zheng pressed the spear against Qing Mu's throat, the tip's sharp aura cutting through the strong beast skin, traces of blood staining the yet undimmed green fur.

"I do not know the specifics."

Sensing the sharp presence at his throat, Qing Mu felt a dryness in his throat and hoarsely said:

"A message was secretly passed among a few major clans, stating that the Cangyun Realm is about to be invaded by evil demons, urging us all to evacuate the realm. This message was transmitted by a Demon Immortal in the Immortal Alliance about half a year ago."

"This space portal was likely opened temporarily by a Demon Emperor, leading to a Life Star, capable of accommodating us for recovery and reproduction."

The Demon Emperor, far stronger than the Shape-shifting Demon King, is comparable to the peak of Human Race's Immortal Tribulation Realm, with a strength of Seventh Order.

"Since the Immortal Alliance can open a portal, why has no one come here to reinforce? Why doesn't the Human Race know about this news?"

Midway through speaking, Chu Zheng suddenly realized, Demon Immortal? Half a year ago?

His mind churned rapidly, excavating all the information he had received previously, sorting through it all.

If calculated by time, half a year ago was exactly when he informed Geng Yiyang about the Giant Marsh space portal.

That was also the time when the Immortal Alliance received the message about the outer realm evil demons.

On the Human side, including Ji Yuyan who is a Pseudo-Immortal, no one received any orders to retreat, yet the Demon Race did, and someone even came specifically to open a secretive space portal, allowing these demons to safely leave the realm.

Was this the individual idea of that unknown Demon Immortal, or an intentional act by the Immortal Alliance?

Many terrifying assumptions arose in Chu Zheng's mind, momentarily giving him chills.

The space portal above Giant Marsh posed a much greater threat than the one opened a short while ago.

Unlike normal beings, those outer realm evil demons could no longer be considered as such; just from Geng Yiyang's descriptions, Chu Zheng could feel the monstrous nature of these creatures.

Moreover, the evil energy could erode mana and even the Divine Soul, indicating a complete change in the environmental conditions, an irreconcilable conflict.

In that Demon Immortal's words, the Cangyun Realm was about to be invaded by evil demons. Does he refer to these outer realm evil demons, or the recently opened portal?

Regaining his composure, Chu Zheng steadied his emotions and stared intently at Qing Mu, speaking gravely:

"Many Wolf Demons from the Northern Region have also gone to the outer realm battlefield. What about their lives if you just leave like this?"

"I also do not know."

Qing Mu hesitated, "My father passed the position of Clan Leader to me a few days ago, telling me to make future decisions on my own."

Hearing this, Chu Zheng had already understood that those Shape-shifting Demon Kings who went to the outer realm had also prepared for death.

The only difference was that they had left a way back for their own tribes, whereas the Human Race had not.

Their participation in the war was clearly to reassure the Human Race, or perhaps to conceal information about that Demon Immortal.

However, regardless of the reason, the space portal not far away was increasingly closer to opening, leaving not much time for Chu Zheng.
