Chapter 578: A Very Ugly Expression

The news of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan and those Sects attacking the Ten Thousand Demon Sect has already spread far and wide.

The fact that Lin Xun re-entered the Spirit Refining Realm during this great battle shocked everyone beyond measure.

When Lin Xun was still in the Ascension Realm, everyone felt that although he was formidable, he wasn’t that terrifying.

Even if Lin Xun could use his Ascension Realm cultivation to defeat those in the Spirit Refining Realm, he was still just in the Ascension Realm.

But now that Lin Xun has entered the Spirit Refining Realm, everything is different.

After re-entering the Spirit Refining Realm, it could be said that Lin Xun’s cultivation has fully recovered.

He even has the capital to charge toward that supreme Realm.

At the same time, this meant that the Ten Thousand Demon Sect had re-entered the ranks of the world’s top-tier Sects.

After all, in the current era, the Ten Thousand Demon Sect originally wasn’t quite enough to command respect.

Many of the City Lords who came out of the Desolate Domain were in the Spirit Refining Realm.

The gap in top-tier combat power was simply too large.

But then again…

When Lin Xun entered the Spirit Refining Realm, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

Because currently, all the Spirit Refining Realm Cultivators came from the Desolate Domain.

The gap in top-tier combat power between the Desolate Domain and the Myriad Laws World was truly too massive.

The Myriad Laws World and the Demon Race World had no Cultivators who had advanced to the Spirit Refining Realm.

Therefore, both the Myriad Laws World and the Demon Race World felt quite helpless.

Even when facing those City Lords from the Desolate Domain, the Demon Race World and the Myriad Laws World more or less lacked confidence.

But now, the Myriad Laws World once again has a Spirit Refining Realm expert.

Even though this person is Lin Xun.

At the very least, this shows that our Myriad Laws World isn’t much worse than those people from the Desolate Domain!

Furthermore, if the Myriad Laws World and the Desolate Domain were to go to war again, no matter what, Lin Xun should stand on the side of the Myriad Laws World.

That should be the case.

At least, that was what they were thinking.

But before they could finish processing the news of Lin Xun entering the Spirit Refining Realm…

When the Saintess of the Zilin Holy Land—Jiang Qingshang—appeared at the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, everyone was stunned.

They could never have imagined why Jiang Qingshang would appear at the Ten Thousand Demon Sect!

They would rather believe that Jiang Qingshang had been captured and was being held prisoner at the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

However, they were disappointed.

Jiang Qingshang was not a captive.

Jiang Qingshang enjoyed complete freedom within the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

She even watched as those Sect Cultivators and the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan were slaughtered by Lin Xun, without ever intervening once.

Could it be that the Zilin Holy Land has already cooperated with the Ten Thousand Demon Sect?

Or is it that only Jiang Qingshang and Lin Xun are in league together?

Given the current situation, they could no longer see clearly what was really going on.

If the Zilin Holy Land and the Ten Thousand Demon Sect were truly in league, then everything would take a turn for the worse.

One is the most powerful Sect of the Demonic Path, while the other is one of the most powerful Sects of the Righteous Path.

Although the Zilin Holy Land’s strength and status do not compare to the Confucian Academy, and it isn’t the current leader of the entire Righteous Path Alliance…

Still, the Zilin Holy Land is not to be underestimated.

If the Zilin Holy Land and the Ten Thousand Demon Sect joined forces…

Then the landscape of this world would undergo a massive change.

Many Sect Masters went to the Zilin Holy Land, demanding that they provide an explanation.

However, the Zilin Holy Land has currently closed its mountain gates and is refusing all visitors.

This move by the Zilin Holy Land only served to highlight their guilty conscience.

In the past, many Righteous Path factions would likely have launched a crusade against the Zilin Holy Land.

But now, the entire world is in chaos.

Whether it’s the Righteous Path or the Demonic Path, the two are colluding with each other, and there is no longer a clear distinction between good and evil.

In such a chaotic era, strength is everything; only by surviving is there a future.

Therefore, regarding the actions of the Zilin Holy Land’s Saintess…

Those people could only grumble about it casually.

As for any concrete measures, they would definitely be useless… In fact, within the Zilin Holy Land, many meetings have already been held.

The content of these meetings was, naturally, about Jiang Qingshang and Lin Xun.

Actually, Jiang Yuerou already knew about the matter between Jiang Qingshang and Lin Xun.

But even though Jiang Yuerou knew, the other high-ranking officials of the Zilin Holy Land were completely in the dark.

Seeing the bewildered expressions of the other high-ranking officials…

Jiang Yuerou decided to reveal the whole truth of the matter!

After all, at this point, there was no longer any need for concealment.

After listening to Jiang Yuerou’s description, all the Elders, Hall Masters, and Peak Masters of the Zilin Holy Land rubbed their eyes, unsure of what to say for a moment.

They never imagined it!

During the time their Saintess went to the Mortal world for her experiential training, she was actually charmed away by a Mortal man!

If it were just an ordinary Mortal man, it wouldn’t have mattered as much.

After all, a Mortal man’s lifespan is limited.

A hundred years later, he would return to the dust.

But the biggest problem was that this man turned out to be Lin Xun.

Moreover, Lin Xun had even entered the Zilin Holy Land under a pseudonym to cultivate on Saintess Peak.

In other words, Jiang Qingshang and Lin Xun had spent a long time together on Saintess Peak.

What more could be said?

One could only say it was the will of heaven, or perhaps a coincidental ill-fated relationship.

Fortunately, during the last purge of the Zilin Holy Land, almost all the rebellious Elders and Disciples were cleaned out.

Now, the Zilin Holy Land is centered around Jiang Yuerou and has basically coalesced into a single entity.

Add to that the fact that the Ten Thousand Demon Sect is also powerful.

This provided a lot of room for maneuvering.

In this day and age, strength is what’s needed most!

So, even though these high-ranking officials were very shocked at first, many Elders believed this was an Opportunity, a stroke of luck!

Some Elders even suggested that they could communicate and exchange with the Ten Thousand Demon Sect to form an Alliance!

If that were the case, then the Zilin Holy Land and the Ten Thousand Demon Sect would surely be able to gain a firm footing in this world!

Coupled with the relationship between Lin Xun and their Saintess, they wouldn’t have to worry about the Ten Thousand Demon Sect betraying them.

“Holy Lord, I believe we should send an envoy to the Ten Thousand Demon Sect to reach an agreement.

Currently, Lin Xun is the strongest combat power in the entire world.

Perhaps our two Sects can turn our hostility into friendship and cooperate because of the relationship between the Saintess and Lin Xun!”

An Elder spoke his mind directly during today’s meeting.

And Jiang Yuerou’s expression was very ugly.
