799: Chapter 128: The Supre Heart Demon Reappears 799: Chapter 128: The Supre Heart Demon Reappears “Heavenly Demon?
The Heavenly Demon has eroded and replaced the True Lord?
How is this possible?”
Upon hearing Ye Po True Lord’s words, An Jing’s first reaction was ‘impossible.
Absolutely impossible!’.
It was because An Jing was extrely knowledgeable about Heavenly Demons that he understood that their erosive power was neither weak nor strong.
Strong in the sense that, if heart demons arose, even Lingxiao could potentially succumb to demonic degeneration.
Weak in the sense that, with the mindset of martial artists doing great deeds in the Huai Xu Realm, who knows who might be a heart demon!
With the protection of Fate Patterns, physical erosion by demons was still possible, but spiritual erosion was almost impossible.
Even if one was tempted, it would only be as a collaborator, how could one be completely taken over?
Not to ntion, there was also a critical point.
An Jing furrowed his brows and said, “Even if the ancient ancestor is reluctant to waste their lifespan on trivial matters, if a True Lord were replaced by a Heavenly Demon, the ancient ancestor wouldn’t remain inactive!”
Ye Po True Lord also knew that what she said sounded exaggerated, but she persisted in her view: “I captured a Great Heavenly Demon avatar, and the information I soul-searched from its body is almost certainly not false.”
“I also suspected that this could be false information released by the Heavenly Demons to cause internal suspicion among us, but after the Anti-Heavenly Demon Arrays I secretly placed within the sect were destroyed, I am almost certain there is an internal spy connected to the Heavenly Demons, and their status should be that of a True Lord!”
“As for the ancient ancestor… the Heavenly Lords are not omnipotent.
The Frost Calamity is almost sweeping across the North Mysterious Sacrifice Continent, is it just to change the environnt?
It brought nurous Heavenly Demon Seeds, causing a rapid increase in demonic occurrences in the north.
This includes many newly born Heavenly Demons, but also the revival of many ancient Heavenly Demons.”
“An Jing, do you know of a type of Heavenly Demon called the [Supre Heart Demon]?”
“Supre Heart Demon…”
An Jing frowned in thought.
He indeed knew of this type of Heavenly Demon, the oldest and the first to invade the Huai Xu Realm.
Its invasion was silent, even the Immortal Gods of the Huai Xu Realm couldn’t detect it before it erupted.
At that ti, even the Heavenly Lords couldn’t serve in the central Dao Courtyard and could only work locally.
“You an…”
The young martial artist pondered: “A True Lord could be infected by a Supre Heart Demon and not know they have turned, but the Heart Demon is gradually transforming them… until the right mont, it will erupt and completely seize their body?”
“That’s right.”
Ye Po True Lord nodded slightly.
The array naturally operating at Mingguang Peak ensured no one could eavesdrop on this conversation, but to be safe, she added another layer: “The most pessimistic scenario is that of the remaining six True Lords, five are internal spies related to [Da Chen][Shangxuan][Heaven’s Will][Taiming][Heavenly Demons].”
“If we are lucky, there are four.
Because the True Lord eroded by the Heavenly Demons might also be an internal spy.”
“That is true.”
Although this was highly probable, An Jing couldn’t smile at all.
Four spies versus five spies, does it make any essential difference for Bright Mirror Sect?
Relying on half the True Lords in critical monts is unfeasible.
In such conditions, if any faction decides to act against Bright Mirror Sect, An Jing couldn’t imagine how to save it.
Fortunately, he had indeed obtained a solution or at least a thod to clarify the situation.
Life Observation Eyes.
On An Jing’s forehead, the sword pattern shone, with silvery light shimring like an eye.
His gaze swept across, and even Ye Po True Lord’s Fate Pattern naturally surfaced.
Strange Fate Pattern [Hidden Dragon].
“Huh?”
Ye Po True Lord sensed a hint of being observed but didn’t mind, instead looking at An Jing’s glowing forehead: “An Jing, do you an your divine skill… can see through the disguise of Heavenly Demons?”
“It can only see others’ Fate Patterns.”
An Jing slightly shook his head.
He could see how mighty and prosperous Ye Po True Lord’s Fate Pattern was, even deduce that the future evolution of [Hidden Dragon]was likely [Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens][Dragon God’s Divine Mandate], but he couldn’t directly determine who was possessed by Heavenly Demons.
Yet, he could observe indirectly.
A True Lord eroded by Heavenly Demons would definitely have a changed Fate Pattern, whether declining or unusually rising, it would be a sign.
As long as An Jing observed the remaining six True Lords, he should be able to find out [the one who wasn’t affected].
Yes.
An Jing’s aim wasn’t to find out who the spies were but to identify who wasn’t one, who was loyal!
Even the spies have internal conflicts; it’s unnecessary to discern which faction they belong to.
Find the one or two remaining loyalists, then target all the rest, that’s the simplest thod.
An Jing shared his idea with Ye Po True Lord, who pondered upon it: “You’re right, distinguishing spies is aningless…”
“As for eting other True Lords?
It’s usually almost impossible, but recently there is a real opportunity.”
With that, Ye Po True Lord smiled: “Bright Mirror Sect’s decennial [True Transmission Competition]will soon begin.
The top five can participate in next year’s [Five Sects Martial Arts Competition].”
“It concerns the entire sect’s reputation; barring any unforeseen events, all available True Lords will attend, including even the ancient Ancestor Cheng Guang.”
“By then, you should be able to identify the loyalists.”
“That would be too late.”
Although he knew of this opportunity, An Jing understood that after his return to the sect, various forces would act more frequently.
The True Transmission Competition would be more of a deadline than a chance to uncover the spies’ identities—if he couldn’t determine the allies and foes before the competition, sothing major would undoubtedly occur during it.
Don’t ask An Jing how he knew; it was the premonition of the Heavenly Mandate.
“Indeed.”
Ye Po True Lord thought for a mont, realizing that was indeed the case.
The True Transmission Competition was a major event for Bright Mirror Sect.
Their power would be unprecedentedly concentrated, but so would the enemy’s.
If they were planning a big move, launching it during the competition could eliminate Bright Mirror Sect’s vigorous strength of three or four generations.
Even An Jing wouldn’t be able to stop the sect’s decline.
“Let think if there are any other opportunities…”
Ye Po True Lord fell into deep thought.
She was ticulous, always considering things thoroughly beforehand, which led to few mistakes, but also made her decisions slightly slow.
An Jing didn’t mind as, at the mont, he was communicating with Subdue Evil.
“Subdue Evil!
The Supre Heart Demon has reappeared!”
In his Divine Sea, An Jing loudly said to Subdue Evil: “Do you think it’s a mistake in your battle?”
“What does it have to do with … it really has sothing to do with !”
What An Jing said wasn’t baseless.
Based on the past battle he saw at Broken Blade Peak, the Immortal Gods of the Huai Xu Realm had already built the ‘Heavenly River Chasm’, blocking all Supre Heart Demon invasions, making the Heavenly Demons possess via souls constructed from the Netherworld, then attack, unable to manifest in their nearly unobservable informational form.
Thereafter, Subdue Evil probably shattered the Huai Xu Heaven and Earth Core about to be captured by Heavenly Demons, subsequently activated by the Immortal Gods to sever the Endless Chasm, completely preventing further Demon invasions of Huai Xu.
But, unknown epochs later, Subdue Evil returned to its holand, Huai Xu.
The Supre Heart Demon also returned along with the increasingly active Heavenly Demons.
Subdue Evil wasn’t unwilling to admit it, but was genuinely puzzled: “Oh no, this is bad.
Originally embodied Heavenly Demons were plenty troubleso for mortals, now with the appearance of Supre Heart Demons, who knows how this will turn out.”
“Especially in the current martial world of Huai Xu, these martial fanatics if stirred by heart demons…”
“Stirred…”
Hey.
Subdue Evil suddenly found another issue: “Doesn’t seem like that big a deal.”
“An Jing, don’t you see, modern Huai Xu martial artists must also kill and slaughter each other to fit Heaven’s Will, continuously progressing.
Even if heart demons erge, what’s the difference?”
An Jing also realized: “More madness in killing?”
“Yes, just more killing.”
Subdue Evil pondered: “Could this be Heaven’s Will’s purpose in promoting Martial Arts?
Seriously, if we start mutual slaughtering first, you cannot incite national sect animosities?
Heaven’s Will so ticulously planned?”
“If that’s true, Heaven’s Will is truly beastly.”
“Hard to say.”
Subdue Evil said: “Heaven’s Will has no preferences; everything is for life’s continuation.
You might find it beastly because this is the only way.”
“Regardless, Bright Mirror Sect is very dangerous now.”
An Jing sighed: “In our insignificant Middle Sect, we have sleeping dragons, phoenix fledglings, two Heavenly Ancestors, several from Upper Sect, and enemies of Heaven’s and Earth’s, is this luck not imnse?”
“No wonder Master’s expression was always peculiar when I asked about the sect’s affairs, saying the sect isn’t a place of peace—it truly isn’t, with the Five Parties Talks arriving.”
“I’ve thought of it.”
At this point, Ye Po True Lord’s eyes glimred, she looked up: “No matter the side, their goal must be the ‘Heavenly Mirror Shard’…
If possible, we can create a phenonon similar to the ‘Divine Mirror Phenona’ from when you entered.”
“Whether loyal or traitorous, True Lords wouldn’t overlook this event.”
“By then, you observe from the side, surely there will be discoveries!”
“That’s indeed a good plan.”
An Jing nodded slightly.
Given his connection to Subdue Evil, the Heavenly Mirror Shard might genuinely cooperate.
After all, Bright Mirror Sect was effectively its own sect; if it didn’t want the sect to perish, the Heavenly Mirror Shard would have to do sothing.
“But not imdiately, it just emitted phenona, another too soon would be too conspicuous, we need to wait a while.”
And An Jing’s suggestion was accepted by Ye Po True Lord.
The white-skirted Dragon Lady nodded and prepared to dissipate the shielded dark clouds: “Yes, we need to wait—An Jing, you must be tired from your long journey, have so rest, we’ll follow your plan.”
“If any critical information arises, we can discuss it in the Endless Heavens.”
“Thanking the True Lord in advance.”
“Bright Mirror Sect is my ho; it nurtured , it is my duty.”
An Jing bowed to Ye Po True Lord, who slightly shook her head, then prepared to leave.
But before leaving, she glanced toward Mingguang Peak.
“Great North Dipper Snake Heart Hundred Refinent thod…”
