Chapter 115 Outsiders
At this moment, in the core area of Yunhai Marsh, atop the Cloud Palace, the white-haired man sat on a cloud, opposite him was a beautiful woman. These two were the only two Nascent Soul level experts of the demon race, the Demon Lord and the Six-Tailed Fox Fairy.
They were facing each other, but neither of them spoke. The atmosphere between them was clearly very tense, indicating that something had happened.
The fox spirit could no longer sit still. She got up and paced back and forth on the clouds, her beautiful face showing a great deal of anxiety.
"Alright, stop wandering around." The Demon Lord's voice was deep and powerful, giving her a strong boost of confidence.
“Brother, it’s not that I’m not shrewd enough, but these are turbulent times. Demonic energy has reappeared in our Yunhai Marsh. Is this an invasion of our Qingyun Realm by foreign demons, or is it a group of lingering demonic cultivators among the human race who have joined forces with those hypocritical Taoist priests to attack our demon race? We must be on guard.”
Her words were precious, her voice like a cuckoo's lament. The two of them had worked so hard for the rise of the demon race, and now their efforts were finally showing some results. They truly couldn't bear to see things go wrong now, otherwise their Dao hearts might be in danger.
The Demon Lord waved his hand, gesturing for her to sit down again: "Nothing has been revealed yet, so you can't act rashly. In my opinion, this demonic energy is probably just an accident and nothing serious. The biggest problem now is that the coordinates of the Azure Cloud Realm have definitely been discovered by someone with ulterior motives. I wonder what their strength is."
At this point, the fox spirit sat down, her mood calming down a bit: "If what you say is true, I think it's beneficial for us. No matter what kind of place it is, the world ruler of the Azure Cloud Realm is still the human race, and they will always have conflicts with human cultivators."
After she finished speaking, the Demon Lord's expression changed: "Junior Sister, you've misunderstood. Your perspective is too narrow. No matter how we fight with the human race, it's all an internal struggle within the world. When facing external enemies, we must unite. Otherwise, if the Azure Cloud Realm is defeated, what use will our struggle for the world's master be?"
The fox spirit also realized her narrow-mindedness. In fact, she would understand this problem normally. After all, no Nascent Soul stage expert is stupid. It's just that she has been fighting with the human race all along, and her emotions have been affected by the war. Otherwise, she wouldn't be like this.
"Yes, I was wrong. Should we tell the human race about this?"
The Demon Lord thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, we won't do anything. If they can detect it, that's their skill; if they can't, that's their own fault. We just need to be on guard. It's good that the front line is now stable and we're consolidating our territory. Before any outsiders come out, we shouldn't make any rash moves to avoid any unforeseen changes."
Even the Demon Lord was uncertain. He didn't know which world the outsiders came from, but he knew that the small rift was only big enough for cultivators at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages. As long as he killed them all and prevented them from spreading the coordinates, the matter would be resolved. In the future, he would have done something beneficial to the world, and the world would reward him. With the improvement of his luck, he would benefit greatly in both cultivation and the struggle for supremacy.
However, no one knew that the outsiders had already arrived. But just as the Demon Lord had guessed, the outsiders were only five Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. They dared not appear in large numbers, so they chose to lie low immediately, which is why they were not discovered.
Gu Yuchuan spent seven days in seclusion healing his injuries. Now, with only two days left until the opening of Linlang Pavilion, his injuries have finally healed considerably. This incident taught him a great lesson: even the tribulations he survived in simulations can still cause problems. For example, he easily passed the Refiner Alliance incident in the simulation, but in reality, he suffered such harm. He needs to be more careful in the future.
After tidying up, he returned to Linlang Pavilion. In the past few days, there had been some unrest in Linlang Pavilion. After all, everyone had seen how much Gu Yuchuan valued Linlang Pavilion. He used to stay here all the time, but now he hadn't appeared for several days in a row. This was obviously not good news, especially since Song Chuan knew some inside information. He even suspected that the King had lost. However, he dismissed the idea. First, it was an ominous sign, and second, if he had lost, Linlang Pavilion would definitely not be able to be saved. It was definitely not right for them to be so safe now.
Finally, Gu Yuchuan returned, which put everyone at ease. He is the core and the only master here. His return gave everyone a sense of direction. Song Chuan cannot be the core yet; he is just a senior employee.
Gu Yuchuan didn't say much to him. He called Song Chuan and went up to the private room. The two began to discuss the opening day's arrangements. They had gone over all the activities and potential problems many times. They were determined to ensure that nothing went wrong that day; otherwise, losing face would be difficult to recover, and others would lose trust in Linlang Pavilion.
Overall, however, Linlang Pavilion is developing very steadily and is just waiting to open. Now is the time when they should be most vigilant and cannot afford to make any mistakes, otherwise all their previous efforts will be in vain.
Gu Yuchuan entered his underwater chamber. He thought about it and realized that with their overwhelming advertising, more than twenty spiritual artifacts and more than twenty top-grade magic artifacts might not be enough. If they sold out in half a day, it would be very embarrassing. He couldn't possibly pre-order all the remaining ones.
Therefore, he plans to expedite the forging of a few more in the next two days. His weapon-refining skills have become even more refined, and he can now refine low-grade spiritual weapons very quickly. He can refine three to five pieces a day, and seven or eight pieces in two days is not a problem. This will definitely provide him with a much-needed boost, since there aren't many demon generals who can afford spiritual weapons.
For the past two days, he hasn't left the house at all, focusing all his energy on crafting magical artifacts. He actually crafted a total of nine artifacts before the store opened, which made him look somewhat haggard. After all, crafting magical artifacts is a very tiring task. He won't do it like this anymore. Once the Linlang Pavilion stabilizes, fewer people will buy from it. However, he still needs to focus on training apprentices in artifact crafting. At that time, he can also expand his business to include ordinary magical artifacts and give himself a rest.
It was already past midnight. The next morning was their opening day. As the moment finally arrived, he was still a little anxious. After all, no matter how much preparation he had made, he couldn't help but worry that something might happen. What if someone wanted to do something? His eyes turned cold. He wouldn't tolerate anyone who dared to cause trouble.
