Jade Heart Again – Part 3

One was Master Jade Heart from the White Jade Tower, and the other was the cultivator who had held the Heavenly Secret Stele and descended from the sky during the Heavenly Secret Ceremony. Afterwards, Han Yi also learned that this cultivator was called Master Xu Ming.

Han Yi nodded towards Master Jade Heart but did not greet Master Xu Ming. He recognized the latter, but they had never talked before, so it was better to maintain a certain distance.

Half a day later, around twenty Golden Core cultivators had gathered. Monarch Tan Li and Xu Su Monarch turned around and their gazes swept across all the Golden Cores. The heavy authority of the monarchs made all the Golden Core cultivators feel weighed down.

When their eyes reached Han Yi, there were no abnormalities.

Then, Tan Li spoke:

“There is no need for me to say too much about this mission. You should all know it already, and that is to remove the Heavenly Demon Array.”

“We are responsible for one-eighth of the demon cave area. Other areas also have monarchs initiating simultaneous removal of the Heavenly Demon Array and eliminating the Heavenly Demons.”

“Demon caves are perilous. When encountering a Heavenly Demon, kill it immediately. Please give it your all. If someone retreats, I will report it to Duke Dingguo and have them executed.”

Everyone was somber.

“Go!”

With a light shout from Monarch Tan Li, he and Xu Su Monarch led the group towards the demon cave ten kilometers away. Over twenty Gold Core cultivators followed closely, rushing into the demon cave.

The demon cave was formed by highly concentrated demon energy. As Han Yi entered the demon energy, he felt his body becoming heavier, as the demon energy wanted to infiltrate it.

This demon energy was alive.

Han Yi was suddenly shocked, and his body trembled slightly. The body cultivated through the Ancient God Visualization Method immediately closed off all pores. His skin flashed a bronze color, rendering the demon energy unable to have any effect on him.

A figure approached, it was Master Jade Heart.

After more than a decade apart, Han Yi had been in the Foundation Building late stage during the Heavenly Secret Ceremony. Now, he was in the Middle Golden Core Stage. At that time, when he encountered Jiang Jiuge, it was Master Jade Heart who had stepped in to help, blocking Jiang Jiuge and allowing Han Yi to escape with his life.

“Han Yi.” A voice transmission entered his mind, it was Master Jade Heart’s voice.

Han Yi voiced back, “Master Jade Heart, long time no see. How is fellow Daoist Zuo Lie?”

Master Jade Heart’s voice transmission replied:

“Since you have already become a Golden Core, there is no need to be so polite. Just call me Jade Heart.”

“Zuo Lie is fine, he is in seclusion, preparing to break through the Foundation Building late stage.”

Han Yi imperceptibly nodded and mentioned something, “By the way, when you blocked Jiang Jiuge before, I owed the White Jade Tower a favor. I have never forgotten this favor; please be assured, fellow Daoist Jade Heart.”

Master Jade Heart nodded, “You do remember it clearly; I didn’t misjudge you.” “Is it just you coming from the Xuandan Sect for this demon cave? Why isn’t Daoist Wu Xian here?”

Han Yi had long been prepared in his heart.

“Elder Brother Qin had some insights recently, so he is in seclusion within the sect. This time, it was Elder Brother Zhuge who brought me here.”

Jade Heart had doubts in her heart but she didn’t ask any further. However, at this moment, Han Yi took the initiative to ask a question.

“Daoist Jade Heart, do you know the current situation of the demon cave?”

I heard Monarch Tan Li say that Duke Dingguo has arrived in Shu Du, right?”

“What about the National Guardian Duke?”

“And why is the demon cave descending upon Shu Du?”

“The White Jade Tower has a profound foundation, far surpassing our Xuandan

Sect, Daoist Jade Heart, do you know the reason behind this?”

Jade Heart did not find it strange and explained through voice transmission, and Han Yi finally understood.

Not only Master Jade Heart came from the White Jade Tower this time, but even the tower master, Baiyu Monarch, had come, so they naturally knew more comprehensive information.

As for the whereabouts of the National Guardian Duke, no one knew, as if he had disappeared into thin air. In the first immortal ring, the National Guardian Hall had been enveloped by a mysterious formation, and no one knew its secrets.

At the time the demon cave descended, there were no other Spirit Transformation Experts present in Shu Du, and the Heavenly Demon God who had torn the Boundary Sky Passage used some unknown means to locate the passage in a certain area of the fifth immortal ring in Shu Du.

Then, countless Heavenly Demons poured into the Cultivation World and laid down the Heavenly Demon Array in Shu Du to create the demon cave.

At first, the demon cave was small, and there was no one in charge in Shu Du.

The National Guardian Duke was absent, the Champion Marquis was dispatched to the Blood Sea, the Duke of Zhennbei was stationed in the North, and only Duke Wen Chang and a true monarch of the Southern Dipper Divine Palace and a true monarch of the Sixth Division were in Shu Du.

The three true monarchs attempted to enter the demon cave to remove the Heavenly Demon Array but were ambushed and killed by the Heavenly Demon Lord. The cultivator from the Sixth Division fell on the spot, while Duke Wen Chang and the true monarch from the Southern Dipper Divine Palace escaped with severe injuries.

After that, the demon cave rapidly expanded, and reinforcements continued to arrive.

By now, the entire Shu Du had gathered seventeen true monarchs and three Spirit Transformation Experts.

These three Spirit Transformation Experts were Lord Changsheng of Yujing Mountain, Lord Seven Killings of the Stars Sea, and Duke Dingguo of Daqian.

The seventeen true monarchs were primarily cultivators from the Daqian authorities, the two holy lands, the three major sects, and other Nascent Soul Sects.

After a few initial attempts, they were finally prepared to launch a full-scale attack today.

However, Han Yi felt it was not that simple.

He suddenly thought of the Star River Monarch in Shi Heng’s memory from the Fragrance Sect, Qin Wuxian’s death, and the conspiracy of that Saint from the Fragrance Sect, feeling that it had been heavily covered up.

In addition, the current mysterious whereabouts of the National Guardian Duke, even sealing off the National Guardian Hah, raised questions.

Moreover, Champion Marquis Liu Shentong was transferred away to guard the Blood Sea, leaving the entire Shu Du unprecedentedly weak in terms of true monarchs and above cultivators.

These things were too coincidental.

However, Han Yi could never reveal that he had discovered that Star River Monarch was an elder of the Fragrance Sect or the matter of Qin Wuxian uncovering the Fragrance Sect’s conspiracy.

Besides, even if he did say it, who would believe him?

“By the way, why didn’t Xuandan Monarch come? I see that all the Nascent Soul sects of Daqian have come, but there is no true monarch from your esteemed sect presiding over the event, and even Duke Dingguo doesn’t seem to blame.” Master Jade Heart asked again, Han Yi was about to answer when he suddenly looked up.

“They’re here..”
