Hearing that long howl, Eastern Emperor Taiyi squinted slightly, "I didn't expect the Hidden Demon Sect to come this time!"
Jiang Han was momentarily stunned; his rise had been too rapid. The Manichaeism had been weak for many years and was naturally unaware of many secrets in the martial world, leaving him quite puzzled.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi's expression changed slightly, "My Demonic Path has always been divided into the Bright Demon and Hidden Demon factions. The Bright Demon is naturally led by my Moon Worship Sect, but as for the Hidden Demon, it's hard to say, as it involves some family scandals."
Compared to the dominance of the Bright Demon faction, the strength of the Hidden Demon Sect was simply unimpressive. At most, they wouldn't have more than five Youngshen Realm experts. Moreover, those guys were skilled in internal strife but inept in external conflicts. They were very proactive when it came to vying for power and profit, but if it came to competing with the Orthodox Martial Arts World, most would choose to sit on the sidelines.
These individuals, though called the Hidden Demon Sect, were essentially no different from Loose Cultivators; the older they got, the more timid they became! Even more so, those from the Hidden Demon Sect had become accustomed to being 'underground mice' for so long that they were not enthusiastic about matters concerning the Demonic Path unless there were sufficient benefits. No matter how much one appealed to their sense of righteousness, it would be difficult to motivate them to take action.
"Then who is coming?" Jiang Han asked tentatively. After all, among those coming, Eastern Emperor Taiyi's strength overshadowed everyone else, and Jiang Han had to consider his attitude.
As his words fell, the atmosphere in the field became somewhat subtle.
In the end, Eastern Emperor Taiyi pursed his lips and said, "The one coming is that old fellow Lin Wuyou. He may be an old bone, but he's quite tough. We should go greet him."
If it weren't for Lin Wuyou being the one coming, Eastern Emperor Taiyi would definitely not give him this courtesy. Although since the rise of the Moon Worship Sect, it had grown strong and deep-rooted, it was still difficult to support itself alone against the Orthodox Martial Arts World; the pressure was immense.
However, over the years, the Hidden Demon Sect has not only failed to assist the Moon Worship Sect but has also frequently caused trouble, leading to some laughable situations that ultimately require the Moon Worship Sect to clean up after them. Gradually, the entire Moon Worship Sect has grown increasingly disdainful of the Hidden Demon Sect.
Despite the presence of a few strong individuals from the Youngshen Realm within the Hidden Demon Sect, those guys are completely unreliable. The Hidden Demon Sect is entirely fragmented, embroiled in internal strife, with its members resorting to submission for survival.
Lin Wuyou is one of the few elders in the Hidden Demon Sect who still considers the greater good. If it weren't for people like him holding things together, the morale of the Hidden Demon Sect would have already collapsed.
However, heroes often meet unfortunate ends! Lin Wuyou is undoubtedly admirable; back in the day, he and his eight brothers swore an oath to uphold the Hidden Demon Sect. During the last Righteous and Demonic War, they fought valiantly, with eight of them perishing, leaving only Lin Wuyou to survive until reinforcements arrived.
Afterward, Lin Wuyou inherited the will of his eight sworn brothers and worked tirelessly to maintain stability, preventing the Hidden Demon Sect from falling apart after the last Righteous and Demonic War.
Thus, even though Lin Wuyou's strength may not seem significant in the eyes of Eastern Emperor Taiyi, his impression is much better than that of other members of the Hidden Demon Sect.
"I didn't expect you, old man Lin Wuyou, to step into the Youngshen Realm in your lifetime. I thought you would take your Fusion Realm peak cultivation into your coffin!" Eastern Emperor Taiyi's words were quite sharp. If an ordinary person heard this, they might think he was deliberately provoking him!
Only those who truly understand him know that beneath his astonishment lies a deep concern. Lin Wuyou heard Eastern Emperor Taiyi teasing him but was not offended. He slightly cupped his hands and said, "Haha, perhaps it's Heaven's mercy on this poor soul that I haven't been taken yet!"
Lin Wuyou was already very old. If it weren't for the fortunate chance of stepping into the Youngshen Realm, he would have likely walked into the grave with regrets.
The Hidden Demon Sect would also gradually become history, completely dissipating!
Eastern Emperor Taiyi curled his lips but said nothing more. With Lin Wuyou entering the Youngshen Realm, the disintegration of the Hidden Demon Sect would improve somewhat; at least they wouldn't be bothering the Moon Worship Sect by seeking help from the Holy Mountain every few days.
Behind Lin Wuyou, two Youngshen Realm warriors were somewhat annoyed. Although they were also in the Youngshen Realm, Eastern Emperor Taiyi seemed to completely disregard them, perhaps because their fame did not match Lin Wuyou's.
They wanted to explode in anger, but when Eastern Emperor Taiyi's gaze swept over them, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat!
True Martial Realm!
There was no other possibility!
They never expected that this terrifying figure, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, had quietly advanced to the True Martial Realm!
The deadly sense of crisis almost made them feel an impulse to flee in panic. If it weren't for considering that the occasion was inappropriate, they would have really wanted to turn around and leave!
"This first battle will be led by this old bone of mine," Lin Wuyou said as he stroked his graying beard. He looked like a kind old neighbor, completely lacking the imposing aura of a Demonic Path hero, yet he gave off a feeling of returning to simplicity.
"Old Lin!" Before others could say anything, some Fusion and Transcendence Realm experts behind Lin Wuyou changed their expressions. They were the younger generation of the Hidden Demon Sect who had received much care from Lin Wuyou and were his direct descendants; otherwise, they wouldn't have been involved in this matter.
In their view, although Lin Wuyou was a strong practitioner in the Youngshen Realm, he was relatively older compared to others in the same realm. It was already a stroke of luck for him to advance further and become a strong practitioner in the Youngshen Realm before reaching the lifespan limit of the Fusion Realm.
Moreover, since Lin Wuyou had entered the Youngshen Realm, he had not had many opportunities to take action, so they knew very little about his true strength.
Jiang Han neither agreed nor disagreed; instead, he cast a subtle glance at Eastern Emperor Taiyi, conveying a sense of inquiry.
From his perspective, this Lin Wuyou was merely a newcomer to the Youngshen Realm and was already of considerable age. If anything were to go wrong, it would likely end poorly. Furthermore, if they were to lose in the first round, it would undoubtedly cast a shadow over their current mission and severely dampen their morale.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi naturally understood what Jiang Han was thinking and secretly transmitted a message: "Don't underestimate the old man; this fellow's strength is not simple. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to stabilize the situation with the Hidden Demon Sect."
In the mindset of the Demonic Path, strength is the foundation for action; otherwise, no matter how esteemed you are, it is all just empty talk. No one will genuinely acknowledge you from the bottom of their hearts. The superficial courtesy shown is merely out of respect for your reputation.
Jiang Han understood and nodded subtly. He then looked at Lin Wuyou and said, "Then it’s time for you to take a step forward into the fray!"
