Chapter 593 - 326: Tier Six Bamboo Forest
Ancestor Wutian Demon fell into contemplation, and the atmosphere in the grand hall became oppressive.
"Ancestor, since this boy is skilled in Artifact Refining, he must have designs on high-tier refining spiritual materials. Why not send someone to lure him out of Ten Thousand Stars Island and ambush him?" Hong San’s eyes were filled with killing intent as he continued to persuade.
After a pause, Hong San added, "Previously, our ambush was successful! It’s just that I was unaware of this person’s depth, and with such strength, we only just failed at the last moment!"
Saying this, Hong San’s face turned red; it was an utter disgrace for a Divinity Transformation Cultivator to be forced to self-destruct his physical body by a Nascent Soul Little Ghost to escape.
"However, this time is different. We know his background, can prepare in advance, and set up an inescapable net, ensuring foolproof execution!" Hong San took a deep breath and continued to advise.
Upon hearing this, Ancestor Wutian Demon frowned, caught in a dilemma.
This time, the Nine Demons Sect came to the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region for more important tasks. Firstly, to discover and further break the seal in the Southern Wilderness Continent’s Abyssal Passage. Secondly, to stake a claim in the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region to lay a foundation for advancing into the Central State Spirit Realm. These matters concern the long-term interests of the Nine Demons Sect and whether the Abyssal Passage can be fully opened; everything hinges on these affairs without room for error.
Ancestor Wutian Demon did not wish to complicate matters, but Hong San’s suggestion inexplicably tempted him. If resolved, this Nascent Soul kid could eliminate a significant hidden threat.
This Nascent Soul Cultivator possesses the ability of a Tier Six Refining Grandmaster. With him around, he could continuously refine Tier Six Spiritual Treasures for the Divinity Transformation and Void Refining Cultivators in the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region, undoubtedly boosting their combat power, severely impacting the Nine Demons Sect’s subsequent actions in the region.
What further irked Ancestor Wutian was that this child harbored a deep vendetta with the Nine Demons Sect. Over a dozen Divinity Transformation Demon Venerables and two Ancestor Void Refining Demons perished at his hands. If there’s an opportunity to eliminate this Nascent Soul Cultivator, he certainly welcomes it.
However, if the action slightly fails, not only will he be unable to remove this Nascent Soul Cultivator, it may instead cause greater losses to the Nine Demons Sect—a consequence they cannot afford. Moreover, if excessive noise is made during the operation, it might expose the Nine Demons Sect’s actions in the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region, rendering it futile.
Ancestor Wutian Demon sat in the main seat, eyes flashing with profound light, brows tightly furrowed, repeatedly weighing options, attempting to find a method to eliminate this Nascent Soul Cultivator without affecting the Nine Demons Sect’s overall plan. However, this was no easy task.
At this moment, Hong Shuang in a red dress hurriedly walked into the grand hall with a serious expression.
"Greetings, Demon Ancestor!" After exchanging glances with Hong San, Hong Shuang stood before Ancestor Wutian Demon and respectfully saluted.
"Well! How is the progress? Any leads?"
Ancestor Wutian Demon nodded and looked at Hong Shuang to inquire.
"Report to Demon Ancestor, following the clues you provided, I’ve instructed subordinates to conduct a comprehensive investigation, discovering several suspicious sea regions with sealed relics. They are: Red Coral Island, Jade Deep Sea, Blue Tooth Sea Trench, ..., seven sea regions; specific locations will take some time to verify." Hong Shuang responded respectfully.
"Very well done!" Ancestor Wutian Demon’s eyes lit up, very satisfied with Hong Shuang’s efficiency.
No wonder she’s capable of leading an organization—shrewd and capable, cautious in her actions, much more reliable than her brother, Hong San.
"You came at the right time, just happen to have a matter—you see if you can smoothly lure out that Nascent Soul boy, ..." Ancestor Wutian Demon immediately detailed the matter concerning ’Sword Immortal Li’ from Li’s Treasure Tower to Hong Shuang.
Beside him, Hong San watched Hong Shuang with a concerned look, hoping his sister could provide a good idea for his revenge.
After hearing the intelligence from Ancestor Wutian Demon, Hong Shuang showed a look of contemplation, making no reaction to Hong San’s pleading gaze, instead seriously pondering.
"This child was able to cause the simultaneous demise of two Ancestor Demons, must harbor extremely formidable means." Hong Shuang slowly spoke, her tone carrying a hint of solemnity, "However, I believe it might be related to his several high-tier transformed beasts. Not only are they powerful, but their attributes seem related to the Five Elements. He is also skilled in Artifact Refining, employing techniques that can cross tiers in battle is not difficult."
Hong Shuang’s analysis resonated with Ancestor Wutian Demon; he had also thought about this issue before. The simultaneous demise of Xueming and Yin Jiong had always puzzled him, and Hong Shuang’s inference aligned with his speculations.
"If means can be employed to separate him from several beasts, this child’s mere Nascent Soul cultivation should be unable to withstand Ancestor’s formidable methods!" Hong Shuang continued analyzing, her tone carrying a hint of confidence.
"That’s not difficult, as long as he is lured into a trap, this ancestor has numerous ways to make him submit." Ancestor Wutian Demon frowned and said confidently, "But, how to lure this Nascent Soul boy out of Ten Thousand Stars Island remains a challenge."
Hong Shuang gave a slight smile and responded, "Ancestor, to lure him out of Ten Thousand Stars Island is not difficult; currently, isn’t he willing to accept Artifact Refining commissions!"
"Oh? What’s the meaning behind this?" Ancestor Wutian Demon asked with some confusion.
"I can have subordinates commission him for refining, then find an excuse to make him go outside to receive the reward." Hong Shuang explained, "The only issue is not knowing what sort of refining reward would entice him enough to fall for the trap!"
Ancestor Wutian Demon pondered for a moment before introducing with some confusion, "This I know; this child is extremely eager for Tier Seven Celestial Fire. Previously, we also employed this lure-the-enemy method, but unfortunately, we don’t know which step went wrong, failing to transmit the message, this child quickly left the Southern Wilderness."
