Xia Ningxue’s face also changed color.

Guanghan Palace has always been calm, but now that the various palaces are shaking, could it be an external enemy invading?

Lu Changsheng, Taiyuan Zhenren, Su Qian’er, and others who were guests at Guanghan Palace were equally surprised.

Xia Ningxue’s divine sense quickly covered Guanghan Palace and soon locked onto the Endless Ice Domain: “There’s a problem in the forbidden territory of Guanghan Palace. You all stay here, I’m going to check it out.”

Xia Ningxue’s figure vanished from her seat.

Lu Changsheng, Lu Qinglian, and Taiyuan Zhenren were worried and left the main hall, heading into the sky to watch from a distance.

The Endless Ice Domain is the forbidden territory of Guanghan Palace, and outsiders are not allowed to approach lightly, so Lu Changsheng and the others were hesitant to intervene.

The elders and disciples of Guanghan Palace also sensed the arrival of the earthquake.

Xia Ningxue’s voice sounded in the ears of these elders and disciples: “Activate the formation to protect the palaces.”

“Palace Master, should we activate the Mountain Protecting Divine Formation?”

“Not necessary yet.”

Xia Ningxue arrived at the entrance of the Endless Ice Domain, where Li Lingfei and other ancestors, as well as her master Li Heng, had already arrived.

The situation is not yet out of control, no need to activate the Mountain Protecting Divine Formation.

The Mountain Protecting Divine Formation can cover the entire Guanghan Palace, even Great Experts cannot break through, but each activation consumes a large amount of resources, which Guanghan Palace can hardly afford.

Only when strong enemies invade and survival is at stake, the Mountain Protecting Divine Formation needs to be used.

Xia Ningxue looked at Li Heng: “Master, what happened in the Endless Ice Domain?”

Li Heng shook her head: “I don’t know either.”

The glaciers around the Endless Ice Domain were shaking more and more violently, and all the ancestors of Guanghan Palace were at a loss, not knowing what was happening.

The earthquake grew fiercer, as if some terrifying existence was approaching them.

“Stay away!”

Li Lingfei shouted to the crowd to move away from the entrance of the Endless Ice Domain.

Boom!

With a loud noise, overwhelming demonic qi rushed out like Nine Heavens Gang Wind, and oppressive black fog engulfed the sky over Guanghan Sacred Land.

The terrifying demonic qi plunged the entire Guanghan Sacred Land into panic.

The elders and disciples of Guanghan Sacred Land stared fearfully at the rolling demonic clouds.

Guanghan Palace is a human race cultivation sacred land, how could there be demonic qi?

“Could it be the Demon Race attacking our Guanghan Palace?”

“Disciples, do not panic, with us elders protecting, you will be safe.”

The elders of Guanghan Sacred Land stood in front of the disciples, prepared for battle.

“What on earth is happening?”

Lu Changsheng witnessed the soaring demonic qi and frowned.

This demonic qi is no less than the World-Ending Black Dragon, Eight Desolation Fire Dragon, and other Demon Kings he has seen in the Demon Realm.

Can it be that Guanghan Sacred Land possesses a Demon King level Great Demon?

Whirr—

The demonic wind howled, and rolling demonic qi continued to burst out from the Endless Ice Domain, reaching the sky.

Xia Ningxue’s hand was pressed on the sword hilt, the Fairy-Entrapping Sword was trembling uncontrollably, ready to unsheathe at any moment.

Xia Ningxue looked again at Li Lingfei: “Senior, what on earth exists inside the Endless Ice Domain?”

Li Lingfei’s expression was solemn: “In ancient times, the Goddess who established our Guanghan Palace lured countless Great Demons into the space she created, then used supreme heavenly功 to ice seal the entire time and space, forming the Endless Ice Domain. This billion Demon Race was governed by a Demon Emperor. It’s said that this Demon Emperor was killed in a battle with the Goddess. But now it seems that the Demon Emperor may not have fallen, but has broken the seal…”

Another ancestor said: “For millions of years, the Endless Ice Domain has been quiet, how could the Demon Emperor break the seal at this time?”

Li Lingfei glanced at the Immortal Slaying Sword that Xia Ningxue obtained: “Is it possible that the seal of the Endless Ice Domain is centered on this Immortal Sword as the core? We originally thought the Demon Emperor was dead, so we let you in to take the Immortal Sword left by the Goddess, not realizing it would cause such a disaster. It’s all our fault for not considering carefully.”

“The Demon Emperor is still alive…”

Some ancestors of Guanghan Palace who experienced the ancient battle turned pale, as if they were reminded of some frightening event.

Xia Ningxue asked: “I only heard of Ancient Demon God, what kind of existence is the Demon Emperor?”

Li Lingfei answered: “Among Demon Kings, a few extremely powerful ones are called Demon Emperors, their strength only second to Ancient Demon Gods. The Dragon Emperor, also known as the King of Ten Thousand Dragons, is a Demon Emperor level existence.”

Xia Ningxue’s fair face turned pale: “That means we must hurriedly return the Immortal Slaying Sword to its original place.”

Li Lingfei smiled bitterly: “I’m afraid it’s too late.”

The demonic wind grew more intense, layer upon layer of demonic clouds like a nine-layered sea of clouds, all the thousand palaces of Guanghan Palace were shrouded under the demonic clouds of the Demon Emperor.

“Prepare to activate the Mountain Protecting Divine Formation.”

Li Heng saw that the Demon Emperor was about to emerge, and Guanghan Palace could be the first to bear the brunt. Without using the Mountain Protecting Divine Formation, it might be impossible to stop the Demon Emperor.

The ancestors of Guanghan Palace each fulfilled their roles, arriving at different positions of the Mountain Protecting Divine Formation, ready to activate it at any moment to repel the Ancient Demon Emperor.

“Something’s not right.”

Lu Changsheng sensed the abnormalities at the Guanghan Sacred Land.

Not only did a terrifying demonic qi appear, but also the ancestors of Guanghan Palace were positioned in different locations, very much like they were preparing to activate the Mountain Protection Array.

The Guanghan Sacred Land had more than one Great Power.

The fact that Guanghan Palace decided to activate the Mountain Protecting Divine Formation meant the opponent was certainly not to be trifled with.

As expected, the elders and disciples of Guanghan Palace received the notice and stood ready.

Just when everyone at Guanghan Palace had summoned their magical treasures and arranged formations, prepared to act at any moment, the demonic clouds emerging from the Endless Ice Domain decided to leave Guanghan Palace and surged towards the Demon Realm.

“Ancestors, should we pursue?”

Xia Ningxue, seeing the demonic qi escaping, asked the ancestors.

Although she was the Palace Master, her cultivation level was still shallow, and she certainly couldn’t be a match for the Ancient Demon Emperor. Such a significant matter should be left to the ancestors to decide.

Li Lingfei shook her head: “It didn’t leave out of fear of us but rather out of fear of our Guanghan Palace’s Mountain Protecting Divine Formation. Leaving the range of the formation to pursue it recklessly would only grant its wish.”

“But letting this demon leave might lead to future troubles.”

“There’s no need to worry too much. Our Guanghan Palace was once one of the Ten Great Divine Palaces of ancient times, and we’re not easy to provoke. From now on, make sure to arrange spies to monitor the movements of the Demon Realm.”

“Understood.”

Xia Ningxue made a note and assigned more personnel to monitor the Demon Realm.

In the Immortal Realm, there were human cultivators serving the Demon Realm and the Demon Realm naturally had Demon Race Loose Cultivators secretly providing intelligence to the holy lands of the human race.

This was why when the Demon Race’s Divine Son was assassinated, the human holy lands quickly caught wind of it.

The demonic clouds all dispersed, the cold wind fierce, and the elders and disciples of Guanghan Palace all breathed a sigh of relief.

“It seems the Great Demon has fled?”

“It must have been the Palace Master and the ancestors who acted and scared it away.”

“Long live the Palace Master!”

The elders and disciples of Guanghan Palace, unaware of the true situation, cheered as the threat disappeared with the dispersal of the demonic clouds.

“Guanghan Palace is indeed formidable, even such terrifying demonic qi dared not act recklessly here.”

Taiyuan Zhenren and Su Qian’er were also amazed.

The demonic qi of the Ancient Demon Emperor was terrifying to the extreme, like world-ending.

Yet even it had to retreat in the face of Guanghan Palace.

Taiyuan Zhenren noticed Lu Changsheng’s face remained serious, and asked: “Longevity, the demonic qi has disappeared, why are you still worried?”

Lu Changsheng replied: “I fear it’s not that simple.”

Lu Changsheng had seen an evil spirit break free and had helped the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon escape its seal, knowing that those qualified to be sealed were extremely frightening beings.

Generally, there were only two situations for being sealed.

One situation was choosing not to kill the opponent, only punish, as in the case when the Great Void Goddess sealed the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon, without killing it to avoid arousing suspicion from the Peace Faction’s Demon Kings.

The other situation was being unable to kill the opponent, thus opting to seal them, using endless ages to grind them down. The evil spirit sealed in the Qing Emperor’s Mausoleum was the latter.

The Great Demon breaking free from the forbidden area of Guanghan Palace, if it was the latter, then that would be dangerous.

At this moment, the ancestors of Guanghan Palace joined forces to open the entrance of the Endless Ice Domain to inspect what changes had occurred inside, and Xia Ningxue entered the Endless Ice Domain once more.

Xia Ningxue was dumbfounded by what she saw.

The thick ice cap of the Endless Ice Domain was shattered, a crack extended into the depths of the ice domain, countless glaciers collapsed, and the Great Demons sealed in ice had all vanished.

“It’s bad; could it be the Ancient Demon Emperor has escaped and taken its former subordinates with it?”

Xia Ningxue quickly figured everything out.

When she returned and reported what had transpired inside to the ancestors, their expressions turned solemn as well.

This Demon Emperor had an unquenchable enmity with the Guanghan Sacred Land and might return with its subordinates for revenge in the future.

“Esteemed seniors, is there anything I can do to help?”

Lu Changsheng couldn’t contain his curiosity and wanted to understand the situation at Guanghan Palace.

“It’s you again, boy. Why is it that wherever you appear, disasters keep happening?”

Li Lingfei found it odd that Lu Changsheng happened to visit Guanghan Palace just at this moment.

Could this guy actually possess the Calamity Body?
