Supre Mi Luo left the underground palace and, accompanied by his subordinates, entered Wugui City. He looked around the city, his eyes filled with amazent.
"In just a few years, Wugui City has transford imnsely. If those old fogeys in seclusion woke up and saw how the world has changed, they would be flabbergasted."
Honestly, the changes in Wugui City left Supre Mi Luo deeply impressed. When he learned about them, he imdiately reported to his father, Grand Supre Mi Kong. Currently, Grand Supre Mi Kong was actually in Great Grief City.
As Mi Luo Supre walked through Wugui City, he frequently noticed the presence of Supres flying in the sky, each one exuding a powerful aura. His eyes glead with envy, "If only these Supres were under my command."
After wandering around the city for half a day, Supre Mi Luo returned to his inn. As night fell, he sat in ditation, a single candle flickering in the room. Suddenly, the candlelight flickered, and a black-clad figure stealthily entered Supre Mi Luo's room.
Supre Mi Luo opened his eyes, his expression stern, "You're here?"
"Greetings, my lord!" The visitor was also a Supre but behaved extrely humbly in front of the similarly ranked Mi Luo Supre. This Supre, originally at the peak of the Earthly Mythical level, had sworn a heart demon oath to serve Mi Luo Supre and had secretly entered Wugui City to finally break through to beco a Supre. There were more like him.
Initially, those who ca to Wugui City did so with clear intentions to break through. Later, many arrived with ulterior motives. Mi Luo Supre and his father had planted nurous such agents in Wugui City, all sworn by heart demon oaths and deed trustworthy.
"How's everything progressing?" Supre Mi Luo asked in a deep voice.
"My lord, the Blood Palace isn't as formidable as it seems. Its mbers are loosely organized, with no true loyalty. If we take down the Blood Lord, many might not even co to his aid and might even rejoice!" The black-robed Supre replied quietly.
He made a valid point. Gratitude could often turn into enmity, and human nature was unpredictable. The Blood Palace was too new, lacking any guiding principles or clear objectives. The Supres fought their own battles, with no true loyalty to the Blood Lord. So felt gratitude towards him, but others harbored fear and resentnt. They didn't want the Blood Lord to continue his sermons, nor did they want more Supres to erge, fearing it would devalue their status.
Supre Mi Luo nodded, "What about the Blood Lord's strength?"
He had asked several agents this question.
"The Blood Lord's strength is shrouded in mystery, but based on his performance in a demon hunt, he seems to be at the mid-Supre level, nothing too intimidating," the black-robed Supre answered.
Supre Mi Luo looked worried, "Even if he's at the mid-Supre level, I still have concerns."
Indeed, the Blood Lord's ability to give sermons that help others comprehend their origin abilities was already beyond comprehension and should not be taken lightly. However, fortune favors the bold, and with his father's life nearing its end, they had to collaborate with other Grand Supres to plot against Wugui City. They believed the Blood Lord's sermons and assistance in reaching Supre levels were likely due to a piece of the Destiny Stone.
"There is no other explanation," Mi Luo Supre concluded.
"My lord, the Blood Lord may seem enigmatic, but he's actually quite erratic. His cultivation thod seems to have caused him to lose his mory frequently," the black-robed man continued to persuade.
His observations were accurate. Anyone who interacted with the Blood Lord noticed his strange behavior, and it didn't seem like an act.
Supre Mi Luo's eyes darkened, "I'm still afraid of unforeseen events. What if it's all a facade?"
The black-robed man quickly reassured, "If you don't take the Blood Lord's place today, others will do so tomorrow!"
This black-robed man was a pri example of how great kindness could turn into enmity. Serving under the Blood Lord made him uncomfortable and guilty. The only way to alleviate this guilt was for the Blood Lord to die.
Supre Mi Luo's eyes were complex, "We'll discuss this further."
The black-robed man had no choice but to withdraw.
Alone in his inn, Supre Mi Luo muttered, "I hope this plan succeeds in one stroke!"
"If it does, my Mi family will beco the foremost power in the Flowwind Realm!"
This plan had been in the works for years, with Supre Mi Luo and his father secretly sending loyal Earthly Myths into Wugui City. Many of the Supres in Wugui City were loyal to them, and information flowed daily to Great Grief City from different channels.
"The next sermon for a thousand Earthly Myths must be our mont to act!" Supre Mi Luo knew that if they didn't act soon, it would be too late. They had reached their limit in sending Earthly Myths into Wugui City. In another century, if Wugui City had tens of thousands of Supres, any plot would be impossible.
Now was the best opportunity. The longer they waited, the slimr the chances. This ti, Supres from both the north and south had collaborated to block information and plot against Wugui City, hoping for a significant gain.
"I hope the Blood Lord is only a mid-level Supre."
"I hope he doesn't have his followers swear heart demon oaths before sermons because he's truly mad."
"I hope... this plan succeeds!"
With three hopes, Supre Mi Luo remained cautious and anxious.
...
In Wugui City, people ca and went, the streets bustling.
Wang Gai and Li Yunzhi sat in a restaurant, drinking.
Wang Gai sighed, "A storm is coming."
Wugui City had recently seen the arrival of over two thousand peak Earthly Myths. In a few days, these two thousand Earthly Myths would gather to listen to the Blood Lord's sermon and ascend to the Supre level.
Li Yunzhi, looking at his close friend, whispered, "Do you feel sothing's off in Wugui City recently?"
Wang Gai's face changed, "Yes, there is sothing."
The Blood Palace now had one thousand eight hundred and ninety-five Supres, almost surpassing the number in the south. But despite the many Supres, none were mid-level Supres.
"Yesterday, soone approached ," Li Yunzhi said hesitantly.
Wang Gai looked at Li Yunzhi, his expression serious, "Just say it. I won't tell anyone."
Li Yunzhi looked at his close friend, hesitated for a mont, then transmitted his thoughts to Wang Gai.
The content was that a Supre hinted that sothing big was about to happen in the Blood Palace and advised against taking sides lightly.
After transmitting his ssage, Li Yunzhi looked nervous, "Do you think the Blood Palace will fall apart?"
"Soone's plotting against the Blood Lord?" Wang Gai's face turned cold.
Seeing how much Wang Gai trusted the Blood Lord, Li Yunzhi continued, "What should we do then? Should we repay the Blood Lord's kindness?"
He was torn. Emotionally, he wanted to repay the Blood Lord's teachings, but rationally, he knew the enemy must have prepared thoroughly. Rushing in would likely an death, with no impact on the outco.
"A bunch of clowns dare to plot against the Blood Lord!" Wang Gai fud.
He vividly rembered the scene where the Blood Lord slaughtered over twenty Supres, leaving an indelible mark on his mind.
Supres might be strong, but in the Blood Lord's eyes, they were as fragile as ants.
Those twenty-plus Supres, including ten mid-level Supres, from the north, couldn't last a single round against the Blood Lord.
Wang Gai felt that if the Blood Lord had targeted them, they would have t the sa fate.
Unfortunately, Li Yunzhi wasn't there that day.
If he had been, he wouldn't worry, knowing the Blood Lord's power.
No matter how many Supres, they were like cabbage to the Blood Lord.
"Do you know sothing?" Li Yunzhi asked, sensing Wang Gai's confidence.
Wang Gai smiled, "Don't worry. No sche can harm the Blood Lord."
"You're hiding sothing from !" Li Yunzhi was frustrated.
"Has the Blood Lord already seen through the plot?" Li Yunzhi speculated, but still felt uneasy, "The Blood Palace is so loosely organized. No one truly loyal to the Blood Lord. How can he win?"
The enemy must have prepared well, possibly involving Grand Supres.
"Could it be..." Li Yunzhi's eyes widened, "The Blood Lord is the White Emperor's illegitimate son?"
Wang Gai spat out his tea, "That's an insult to the Blood Lord! Stop guessing!"
To Wang Gai, the Blood Lord was more terrifying than the White Emperor.
The White Emperor was powerful, but not as frightening as the Blood Lord.
The Blood Lord was not a person but a demon god!
...
On Wugui City's walls.
This area was restricted to most, except Chen Huan, Yuan Qi, Qi Yuan, and Xiao Jia.
Qi Yuan, in his blood-red robe, held Xiao Jia, standing on the wall.
"After screwing bolts for so long, I need so fresh air."
Xiao Jia, as usual, leaned against Qi Yuan, a wooden board with a "smile" pattern slipping from her sleeve into Qi Yuan's hand.
"I wish you could take human form." Qi Yuan looked at Xiao Jia, feeling comforted by her presence in the ga.
Xiao Jia stood silently by Qi Yuan's side.
"My mory is erratic lately," Qi Yuan reminisced, "When I entered the Gate of Myriad Transformations to comprehend origin abilities, I almost got lost in the 'forget' realm. Besides hearing Jin Siyue's call, I felt soone tugging at my clothes. Xiao Jia, was it you?"
Recently, Qi Yuan had been trying to advance the Great Forgetfulness ntal thod. He vaguely recalled scenes where soone held onto his clothes.
These scenes surfaced in his mind now.
Another wooden board slipped from Xiao Jia's sleeve, showing a hand holding a sleeve.
"It was you." Qi Yuan tried to touch Xiao Jia's nose but missed.
He wasn't disappointed, still holding Xiao Jia, "Did anything else happen in the Gate of Myriad Transformations that I've forgotten?"
He had a premonition that rembering everything might advance the Great Forgetfulness ntal thod to the micro level.
That would give him more confidence.
Currently, he was only invincible among peers.
He had never faced the White Emperor or the Supre and didn't know their true power.
Were they as strong as the Yin God?
If so, the ga would be tough to beat.
"Unfortunately, the demons are finite. To level up more, do I have to kill everyone here?"
Qi Yuan wasn't a killing maniac, nor utterly selfish.
"If only there were new leveling areas."
Killing demons barely helped him now.
He needed to kill Supres.
"It's odd, what's the limit of this world? How can there be so many Supres without depleting resources?" Qi Yuan pondered, "Or is it exploiting everything?"
Typically, a world's strong ones roughly follow a pyramid structure.
Here, there were too many Supres but too few top-level beings like the White Emperor and the Supre.
It didn't fit the standard structure.
anwhile, in the depths of the White Emperor Palace.
The White Emperor, the strongest in the south, weak as paper, opened his eyes, filled with complex emotions.
"Have the Northern Demons reached the Ends of the Earth?"
"I hope this mission won't fail."
"It's ti to settle old scores."
"Master... if you were here, what would you do?"
"Last ti, the world trembled as if the Jiupan Mountain sermon returned. Was it Master's blood reincarnated?"
"The comrades in the Gate of Myriad Beasts can't hold on much longer."
The White Emperor's eyes were full of desolation.
He supported the southern front, not just for the south but the entire Flowwind Realm.
The battlefield wasn't only the north-south conflict.
That was just against the demons.
The Flowwind Realm's enemies weren't only demons.
There were also beasts!
The larger battlefield was in the Gate of Myriad Beasts.
"Master suppressed the Gate of Myriad Demons alone, slaughtering all demons, nearly dying."
"Now, the Gate of Myriad Beasts... we must suppress it!"
Thousands of years ago, Master Blood Lord entered the Gate of Myriad Demons, nearly dying to clear it.
Following the Destiny Stone's guidance, the Northern Demons, the White Emperor's disciples, entered the Gate of Myriad Beasts to awaken Master.
This did wake the Blood Lord.
The Blood Lord used great power to clear the Gate of Myriad Demons.
He perished, leaving only a drop of blood that disappeared.
The Gate of Myriad Demons was neutralized.
But who knew the Gate of Myriad Beasts had endless beasts trying to escape?
The White Emperor suspected the Destiny Stone led them into the Gate of Myriad Beasts, opening it.
But it was done and couldn't be changed.
"Let's hope... for success."
If successful, the Flowwind Realm could endure another three hundred years.
If not, it would beco a true demon and beast haven.
"Yanran... was it the Destiny Stone's influence on you?"
The White Emperor sighed, deeply lancholic.
His avatar should rge with his true form to enter the Gate of Myriad Beasts.
The situation there was dire.
...
In Wugui City, Supres gathered.
For miles outside, no demons had been seen alive in years.
Now, Wugui City was very safe, not even needing Qi Yuan to guard it.
Within the city, powerful beings converged.
Two thousand peak Earthly Myths gathered, their faces showing various emotions.
So were worried, so expectant, so anxious.
So Supres mingled among them, having captured many demons for another chance to hear the sermon.
Wang Gai and Li Yunzhi were among the crowd.
Wang Gai was calm, while Li Yunzhi looked nervous.
"Wang Gai, why aren't you worried?" Li Yunzhi transmitted.
"Why worry? A bunch of cabbages causing trouble, would you be nervous?" Wang Gai was calm, even looking forward to what would happen.
Since witnessing the Blood Lord's power, he had regarded him as the true god, the chosen one.
How could soone so terrifying not be the chosen one?
"You know sothing but won't tell . If I knew, I wouldn't be so anxious." Li Yunzhi complained.
Clearly, Wang Gai knew more.
"Just follow Sheep Soul Supre's example... and lick," Wang Gai glanced at Sheep Soul Supre, who acted like a lapdog.
As Wang Gai finished, a mysterious aura filled the air.
Everyone stopped talking, looking at the blood-red robed figure on the wall with awe.
"Greetings, Blood Lord!"
"Greetings, Blood Lord!"
The voices thundered like a storm.
It was far more lively than the Jiupan Mountain sermon.
Unfortunately, these people weren't as genuine, so harboring ill intentions.
Supre Mi Luo stood among them, his eyes filled with envy as hundreds of Supres saluted Qi Yuan.
He wished he could be in that position.
At this mont, his heart raced with anticipation.
Suddenly, the Blood Lord's gaze fell on him, making Supre Mi Luo's heart skip a beat.
He heard the Blood Lord's ethereal voice, "Supre Mi Luo seems hesitant. Do you have sothing to say?"
Supre Mi Luo's mind raced.
Had he been exposed?
He forced himself to stay calm, "The Blood Lord is indeed extraordinary, selflessly giving sermons to enlighten others without asking for anything in return."
He was genuinely praising, albeit a bit exaggerated.
"If it were , I couldn't do it," he continued.
"What would you do?" Qi Yuan's smile was inscrutable.
"If it were , I'd make them swear a heart demon oath before the sermon, pledging loyalty to ," Supre Mi Luo revealed his true thoughts.
This was likely what most Supres thought.
Hence, they found the Blood Lord's sermons hard to understand.
Surprisingly, Qi Yuan seed to ponder, "You make a good point. Perhaps... everyone should swear a heart demon oath today... pledging loyalty to ?"
Qi Yuan's gaze swept over the Earthly Myths below, a smile playing on his lips.
The Earthly Myths looked at each other, so terrified.
Supre Mi Luo's palms were sweaty.
If they swore the oath, his hidden agents would be exposed.
He was very nervous.
But then, Qi Yuan laughed, "Just kidding. What use is your loyalty to ?"
Loyalty was worth nothing compared to life.
"The sermon... begins."
