Chapter 496 Demonic Monster
Chapter 496 Monster of the Demonic Gate
This unexpected turn of events was something no one had anticipated. With the sealing of the Demonic Sect nearing its final stage, this sudden change caused a drastic shift in everyone's expression.
The four people who were sent flying backwards at the same time were the four Grandmasters who had only recently advanced to the Celestial Realm. The one who remained unharmed was naturally the Demon Master Leng Feng.
The four Celestial Masters were simultaneously sent flying backward, collapsing to the ground, their breaths extremely weak, and they all fainted.
The Demon Master Leng Feng, standing in place, wore a smug and sinister smile. It was obvious to anyone with eyes that the Demon Master was involved in the events surrounding the four Grandmasters. He must have secretly manipulated things to cause this change.
Among the four severely injured grandmasters was Xie Liufeng, who had previously fought Lin Fei. Xie Liufeng was the twin brother of Xie Liuyun, the master of Shenjian Villa. Seeing his younger brother seriously injured and his life hanging in the balance, Xie Liuyun was furious and shouted, "Leng Feng, what do you want to do?"
If it weren't for the fact that sealing the demonic sect had exhausted all his spiritual power, Xie Liuyun would probably have already drawn his sword to kill the demon master.
"What are you doing?" the Demon Master said with a sinister smile. "Isn't it already clear? I just didn't expect that such a peerless treasure of the Demonic Sect would be on this isolated island overseas. It's truly a case of searching high and low without finding it, only to have it fall into my lap effortlessly! I've really struck it lucky this time!"
It seems the Demon Master has set his sights on this Demonic Sect. However, the energy within this sect is not only useless to cultivators, but is actually extremely harmful. This is true even though the Demon Master is an evil person.
The reason the Island of Saints invited the evil sect master along is because the power within the demonic sect is unusable by either righteous or evil forces. Not only humans, but even demons cannot use it. It's unclear what the demonic master is really planning.
"Amitabha!" The monk who was sitting on the ground chanted a Buddhist prayer, and then said, "Benefactor, have you forgotten the great oath you made to your soul? If you attack us, are you not afraid of the backlash from your inner demons and harming yourself?"
The Great Soul Oath was sworn by everyone present. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the sorcerer couldn't do anything shady. He was also bound by the Great Soul Oath; if he attacked anyone present, he would suffer the backlash of the oath.
"I never said I was going to attack you!" The Demon Master smiled nonchalantly. "I naturally won't spread the news about the Isle of Saints. You bunch of plucked phoenixes don't need my help."
His gaze swept over the four unconscious men on the ground, then he chuckled, "Even these four, I didn't lay a hand on them. I merely released a little demonic energy in secret; these four weren't strong enough to withstand it!"
The Demon Master laughed triumphantly, "I merely wish to take this Demonic Sect away from this place. There's no clause in the Soul Oath forbidding me from taking the Demonic Sect away, is there? What can this so-called Soul Oath do to me?"
This clause was indeed absent from the soul oath, because neither the experts on the Isle of Saints nor Lin Fei himself had ever imagined that anyone would set their sights on the Demonic Sect. The Demonic Sect itself was utterly useless to cultivators. No one could have foreseen that someone would risk offending so many powerful figures to take the Demonic Sect away.
No wonder the Demon Master was so resolute before, preferring to fight to the death rather than join forces with Lin Fei. If he wanted to sabotage the Demonic Sect, and attacked together with Lin Fei and the others, given their cultivation and abilities, the Demon Master would naturally not succeed.
If the Demon Master and Lin Fei and the others were to work together to seal the Demon Sect, Lin Fei and the others would probably have noticed before he even started tampering with the Demon Sect and would have already joined forces to subdue the Demon Master.
The four newly promoted Celestial Masters, however, did not possess such abilities, which is why they fell for the Demon Master's scheme.
At this moment, apart from the four Grandmasters who had already fallen into a coma, the rest of the Grandmasters were also at their limit and could not stop the Demon Master's conspiracy at all.
The Demon Master was among the last to act. Before him, the other Grandmasters had already exhausted their spiritual power to seal the Demonic Sect. Now, facing the Demon Master, whose strength remained undiminished, they were powerless even if they wanted to.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out: "Leng Feng, have you forgotten my existence?"
The voice belonged to none other than the world's number one expert – the Hidden Sword Elder.
The Hidden Sword Elder came to the Island of Saints only as an arbitrator and did not participate in the sword duel. At the same time, he did not participate in sealing the Demonic Sect and still retains the strength to fight against the Demon Master.
Seeing the world's number one expert step forward, the expressions of everyone present improved considerably.
The old man with the hidden sword said coldly, "Leng Feng, a hundred years ago, you were defeated by me. Do you want to repeat the same mistake now?"
The Demon Master laughed heartily, seemingly unconcerned: "Hidden Sword, if your true self were here, I might be somewhat afraid of you. But now you're just an avatar, yet you dare to speak so arrogantly? I'm afraid your true self is currently facing the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man, and your situation isn't much better, is it?"
A glint flashed in the Hidden Sword Elder's eyes, as if the Demon Master had hit a nerve. He sneered, "Even if it's an avatar, it's more than enough to deal with you! Don't even think about taking this Demonic Sect away in front of me!"
"If I had the time, I'd really like to have another match with this old codger," the Demon Master said coldly. "But today, your opponent is not me!"
With that, the Demon Master slapped the Demon Gate with his backhand, and a powerful force instantly flowed into the Demon Gate.
The Demon Master's actions shocked and enraged the five Grandmasters on Saints Island. Zhao Wuji shouted angrily, "Demon Master, what are you doing? If the seal is broken, you yourself will probably perish here. Have you gone mad?"
The power of this demonic sect is beyond the control of any human cultivator, regardless of whether they are righteous or evil. If the demonic master were to break the seal, although everyone present would face great calamity, he himself would likely be in danger.
The Demon Master chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. I won't open the seal until I have complete control over this Demonic Sect. I'm just letting you guys experience the power of this Demonic Sect in advance!"
As they spoke, wisps of black energy emerged from the Demonic Sect, slowly gathering together in front of everyone.
“Hehehe…” A chilling sound came from within the black mist, as if it were a demon crawling out of hell. Before everyone’s eyes, the wisps of black mist surging from the demonic gate gradually gathered into an unprecedented monster.
