In the Taiji Palace, the seven peaks convened.

Sect Leader Xuan Chen of Chonghe Peak, Peak Master Xuan Zheng of Zhengyang Peak, Peak Master Xuan Lin of Heavenly Void Peak, Peak Master Xuanzhen of Su Nu Peak, Peak Master Xuan Yin of Kunyin Peak, Peak Master Xuanming of Chi Ming Peak, and...

"Xuan Shang, why are you here? Where is Xuanfeng?" Xuanming asked with a grave voice.

The other six people all fixed their gazes on Xuan Shang, who stood in the position of the Wanfa Peak Master, each with a different expression.

Some were surprised, some malicious, some grim, and some deep in thought.

Just from the looks of those around him, one could roughly discern friend from foe.

However, the distinctions might not necessarily be set in stone.

Xuan Shang glanced lightly at the middle-aged Taoist standing next to him and the cold-faced female crown across from him. These two seemed to be on his side, but in reality, that might not be the case.

"Senior Brother Xuanfeng is unwell, and he specifically instructed me to attend this meeting. Rest assured, I am just here to listen and will not offer any opinions," Xuan Shang responded to Xuanming, speaking indifferently.

"If that is the case, let Brother Xuan Shang represent Wanfa Peak," Sect Leader Xuan Chen said.

"Yes, Sect Leader Brother."

Since the Sect Leader had spoken, Xuanming had no choice but to accept it reluctantly. Yet in his heart, he pondered more deeply, 'What leverage does Sect Leader Brother actually have in Xuanfeng's hands...'

Xuanming knew this Sect Leader Brother very well. Although Xuan Chen always appeared indifferent, as if unattached to worldly things, in reality, he valued power greatly.

The way Zhengyang Peak, which managed the sect's rules, currently operated also had elements of Xuan Chen's tacit approval.

The fact that he readily agreed to let Xuan Shang represent Wanfa Peak indicated his wariness of that unknown leverage.

'If that's the case, the resolution of the Seven Peaks...'

Xuanming had an intuition that the Seven Peaks Resolution would indeed commence. And if it could seriously threaten the Sect Leader Brother, it was very likely that the other party would pressure the Sect Leader Faction to agree to Xuan Shang taking over Wanfa Peak.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Xuan Chen said, "the Wuji Bell tolled today, and our fellow sect members should know that a major event has occurred."

"Our disciples who wander the worldly society have reported that Blood Dao Techniques are emerging in abundance and spreading widely in the society. It is rumored that remnants of the Blood Demon Sect might be causing trouble in secret.

Moreover, the Heavenly Demon Palace is not falling behind. Currently in the worldly society, the Demon Young Master, Evil Young Master, and Mr. Corpse, who are contenders for the future position of Demon Lord, are stirring up trouble.

The Six Demon Sects are also very active now. The Doomed Hall has officially opened for business, taking on all assassination jobs, where no one is unkillable for the right price.

Two days ago, Purgatory Peak annihilated the East Province Golden Armor Sect and seized their secret treasure 'Golden Bone.'

The practitioners of the Demon Sword Dao are killing widely, engaging in sword fights with various experts. The Seven Absolute Manor and the Heart-devouring Demon Sect are also surreptitiously active.

The Yin Demon Sect has been relatively quiet, but it is precisely this sect that demands our vigilance."

Xuan Chen slowly recounted the recent upheavals in the worldly society.

Especially when speaking of the Yin Demon Sect, although the words were few, everyone could perceive the gravity in Xuan Chen's expression.

The Sect Master of the Yin Demon Sect, Yin Tianxia, could be said to be the most revered person in the demon path today. Initially, during the struggle for the Heavenly Calculation Inheritance, it was she who negotiated with the righteous path, allowing those from the Demon Sects to participate.

The way of negotiation between the righteous and demonic paths naturally couldn't rely solely on words and arguments to convince the other party; their way of communication was solely through fists.

Although the abbot of the Great Zen Temple and the Heavenly Master from Dragon Tiger Mountain did not attend, Yin Tianxia single-handedly defeated ten warriors of the Divinity Realm without sustaining any injuries, which proved her strength.

From the perspective of Xuan Chen who was present at that time, if Yin Tianxia had wished, it wouldn't have been difficult for her to kill those ten warriors. The strength of the strongest truly wasn't something that ordinary Divinity Realm warriors could match, which was deeply awe-inspiring.

"This action of the demon path, with just the prelude creating such a large momentum, the dissemination of the Blood Dao Technique has already caused numerous casualties in the worldly society. It seems the demon path is attempting to rise again, challenging the order of the world," Xuan Chen concluded with these words.

"Is the dissemination of the Blood Dao Technique the doing of the Blood Demon Sect?" asked Xuan Zheng, the Peak Master of Zhengyang Peak.

After posing this question, he continued, "If it is the Blood Demon Sect, then is this so-called Blood Demon Sect the remnants of the original Blood Demon Sect? Or has someone else obtained the Blood Demon inheritance and established a new sect? If it's the former, we may be in trouble."

The Blood Demon Sect had a tradition spanning thousands of years; who knew if they had other secrets. Although the Blood Demon Secret Realm was destroyed initially, who knew if there was a second one.

After all, over the years, the Blood Demon Sect had produced more than one supreme warrior.

"The Blood Demon Sect is worrisome, and the Heavenly Demon Palace is no ordinary sect. Everyone, don't forget, the goal of the Heavenly Demon Palace is to recreate the Heavenly Demon!" Xuan Lin said.

Historically, whenever the Heavenly Demon Palace emerged, it always stirred up a storm of bloodshed. Inside the palace, the Shiyin Hall, Yin Mei Hall, and Respected Demon Hall were all established to create chaos.

In the Shiyin Hall, countless corpses were refined. In the Yin Mei Hall, beauties caused disasters. And within the Respected Demon Hall, top experts of the Heavenly Demon Palace gathered, constituting the strongest force among the three halls.

"At our sect's archives, it is recorded that nine hundred years ago, it was the Hall Master of Yin Mei Hall who seduced the last Emperor Xia, brought chaos to the dynasty, causing the people to suffer, which led to the Grand Ancestor of the Great Zhou sweeping across the land of dragons and serpents and establishing the Great Zhou Dynasty," Xuan Lin continued.

A thousand years ago, the leader of the Blood Demon Sect used a tribulation to summon another, successfully calling forth the deadly Evil Qi, though he failed to internalize the Heavenly Evil to achieve Unity of Heaven and Man and was slain by the combined forces of the righteous and demonic paths, which proved the feasibility of such an act.

Thus, a hundred years after the destruction of the Blood Demon Sect, the Heavenly Demon Palace, after a century of plotting, initiated another slaughter, intending to call forth the Evil Sky Slaughter.

They succeeded.

The Heavenly Evil, initially summoned into the world by the leader of the Blood Demon Sect but not absorbed, roamed between heaven and earth. The calamity that broke the Xia Dynasty, although not as severe as the previous Blood Tribulation, successfully stirred that deadly Evil Qi once again.

Regrettably, this deadly Heavenly Evil was ultimately not absorbed by the master of the Heavenly Demon Palace but led to the rise of another supreme Sky Demon.

"This time, the Heavenly Demon Palace is likely to exert all efforts to create the Heavenly Demon," Xuanzhen softly sighed, "Nine Yang, six Yin; the Heavenly Demon shall end at the sixth generation—the current Heavenly Demon is the final one, and after him, the deadly Heavenly Evil will no longer appear."

The belief that the Heavenly Demon would end with the sixth generation was spoken by Mr. Zhi Ming, the master of Elder Shiming, hundreds of years ago. Regarding the words of that once World's Number One Yi Skill master, no one took it as a joke.

Besides, aside from Mr. Zhi Ming, other Calculus Masters reached the same conclusion.

Yes, the last Heavenly Demon could also be the strongest.

Everyone present was struck with a chilling certainty, knowing that this time the Heavenly Demon Palace was determined to succeed or die trying.

Other than the First Generation Sky Demon, the Heavenly Demon Palace had never produced another Heavenly Demon, making other branches of the demon path scoff at the mention of the Heavenly Demon Palace.

This last time, the Heavenly Demon Palace would not give up.
