After handling the masters from major forces like Teng Huazang, Teng Huazang and others left one after another. At the same time, they quickly transported various materials, and the entire Tianlei City began a grand transformation.
However, Fu Qiankun was not in Tianlei City; he led a team to the Wuyinmen and other forces to carry out a campaign against Wuyinmen.
Meanwhile, the news that Piao Miao Palace colluded with the Demon Tribe to set traps in the Thunder Sea spread rapidly throughout the Tianwu Continent, causing an uproar. Qin Chen did not intend to conceal the news, as he knew it was impossible to hide it; after all, too many people were aware of it.
For a time, the entire continent was filled with discussions.
This time, major forces across the continent jointly declared their stance, more assertively than during the ancient Yu Realm incident. However, after the experience from that event, all the forces on the continent remained strangely calm, with no faction voicing any opinions. Even within Piao Miao Palace, it was eerily quiet, and the entire continent fell into an inexplicable silence.
This made many forces in the martial domain feel uneasy; this kind of calm did not give them any sense of relief but rather a feeling that a storm was brewing.
In Piao Miao Palace,
“I never thought these guys would actually escape,” Shangguan Xi'er said with a fierce gaze, her eyes shooting out cold light.
Beside her, the Demon Spirit also had a gloomy expression. Although its strength had improved slightly this time, it had lost the Ancestral Demon Blood Scripture, resulting in a heavy loss.
“I heard that the kid wants to rebuild Tianlei City. Why not us?” The Demon Spirit's face revealed a fierce killing intent.
“Not for now,” Shangguan Xi'er shook her head, her expression dark. “I’m just wondering how they managed to escape.”
This was also a question the Demon Spirit had; before the Lord of Abyss Demons, even the Lord of Sky-Eating Demons could only respectfully flee. They had sacrificed treasures to gain their freedom; what about the others? Did they also sacrifice treasures?
If so, what kind of treasures could have allowed the Lord of Abyss Demons to release them?
They could not figure it out.
“Let’s not worry about that for now. The urgent task at hand is to find the Lord of Sky-Eating Demons. As long as we find the Lord of Sky-Eating Demons and devour it while it's weak, breaking through to the Holy Realm is the most important thing. By then, the Tianwu Continent will be at our mercy,” Shangguan Xi'er said to the Demon Spirit. “This matter will rely entirely on you.”
“Rest assured, no matter how the Lord of Sky-Eating Demons hides, it cannot escape my detection, but it will take some time,” the Demon Spirit replied solemnly.
“However, if the major forces launch another campaign against Piao Miao Palace, then…”
“The major forces don’t have the audacity to do that. Moreover, we have our people among those forces. Hehe, with the enmity between the major forces, uniting is not an easy task. You don’t really understand us humans," Shangguan Xi'er said with a cold smile, confident.
“Furthermore, if any real problems arise, Piao Miao Palace just needs to close the mountain gates, and no one will be able to intrude,” she continued.
“But Fu Qiankun was once the president of the Bloodline Sacred Land. Could he…” the Demon Spirit said again.
“Him? Just a useless person. He has been imprisoned in Piao Miao Palace for over two hundred years. Although his cultivation has recovered somewhat, his foundation is damaged, and he will never return to peak condition. If he stays obediently in Tianlei City, it’s fine. If he tries to regain control of the Bloodline Sacred Land, it will just be courting death,” Shangguan Xi'er laughed ominously.
Meanwhile, while Piao Miao Palace mobilized all its forces to search for the Lord of Sky-Eating Demons, Qin Chen was rapidly constructing Tianlei City.
