Chapter 1216 It... It's just standing there... Menacingly!

Roar?

Arriving in front of the frontier city, the mountain sized demon beast didn't immediately attack, but instead curiously inspected the guardian formation. Not showing any hint of killing intent during the process. Making it seem like the earlier death of the old ancestor from the noble family had just been an accident.

"This... What is it planning to do?"

"I-I heard demon beasts in the Celestial Immortal Realm are far more intelligent than normal demon beasts... Maybe... Maybe it's trying to think of a way to undo the formation..."

"Impossible! According to the ancestor who created the formation, it's impossible for a Celestial Immortal Realm demon beast to solve the formation without trying to break it!"

As the mountain sized demon beast stared down at the seemingly small city in comparison to its massive size, the three Dao Seed Realm cultivators from the different ruling families were fearfully looking up at it as they wondered what it might be planning.

After all, even though they had confidence in the guardian formation of the frontier city, they could not stop the primal fear that inevitably emerged when confronted with a demon beast an entire major realm above them.

Although this kind of fear wasn't hard to suppress given their mental states as Dao Seed Realm cultivators being far above that of a junior who encountered a Foundation Establishment Realm demon beast for the first time while still in the Qi Condensation Realm, it was still present as they could only wait for the Celestial Immortal from the capital city of the Astorion Empire to show up.

"..."

Not too far away from the group of three, the Dao Seed Realm cultivator from the noble family, who had just witnessed the person he had been trying to save being crushed beneath the Celestial Immortal Realm demon beast, stared down at the ground without saying a word. Unable to cope with the reality that his family had just lost one of its pillars, something that would inevitably force them to stop their planned expansion.

Instead, it might even force them to give up parts of their territory, as the newly promoted Dao Seed Realm cultivator was far weaker than the old woman and his influence and friends were nowhere near the same level as the old woman who had been able to establish herself over thousands of years.

Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do about it other than continue shamefully staring at the ground beneath his feet. Knowing that the reason for her death was due to the ambush of the unfamiliar Dao Seed Realm cultivator and the unexpected appearance of a demon beast in the Celestial Immortal Realm.

No matter how much he and his family had prepared, there was no way they could have accounted for something like that happening. Especially considering that his family didn't have any enemies in the Dao Seed Realm outside of other noble families as far as they were aware. None of which would dare to attack them inside the Astorion Empire.

"I can't go, I'm too busy preparing for my upcoming seclusion to try and grasp the Dao of Rainwater. Now, if you two will excuse me, I will get going first!"

Whoosh~!

Before the middle-aged man or the young woman had a chance to say anything, the third person among the three of them, an old man looking like he was half a step into the grave, stood up and left. Only leaving behind a few words with his divine sense as he disappeared from the underground palace.

"This old man... Always running away at the first sign of trouble..."

"Indeed, he is far too unreliable for an ancestor.... Back to the topic at hand, the Celestial Immortal Realm demon beast, we can't delay this matter for too long or we might have to rebuild the frontier city."

Having already expected this to some extent, both the young woman and middle-aged man just shook their head before returning to the topic at hand. Who among them was going to go to the frontier city and deal with the Celestial Immortal Realm demon beast?

"How about you go this time around?"

"No, no, how about you? You haven't gone out for the last 100 years, I think it would be good for you and also serve as a chance to see the empire and how it has developed over the years."

"Then what about you? You have been locked up in this place for the last 500 years! Not to..."

AS the two began discussing the matter in-depth through their divine sense to shorten the time it would take, a conclusion was soon reached as the middle-aged man ended up being the one who would go to deal with Celestial Immortal Realm demon beast at the frontier city.

Rumble~!

Knowing that it was best not to delay any longer, he didn't waste any time as he directly used his movement technique to rush in the direction of the frontier city. Leaving behind the young woman who happily smirked at the sight. Clearly happy that she didn't have to be the one to go out and deal with the Celestial Immortal Realm demon beast.

The main reason for this being that dealing with a Celestial Immortal Realm demon beast was far from simple and could possibly take months- if not years to resolve. Not including the obvious danger of having to face a demon beast in the Celestial Immortal Realm...

10/10 chapter title, can't convince me otherwise.
