Chapter 377: 84: The Situation in the Northern State

Elsewhere.

Central State, the sun rises.

One after another, earth-shaking news spreads from the direction of Western State, quickly passing through the various sects and major forces in the human world, almost everyone in Central State is aware of the events that took place in Western State.

“Prince Zhao Huai of Yan has actually re-emerged and headed to Anxi Prefecture in his first battle. With his incredible sword skill, he single-handedly changed the tide of battle and defeated the Demon Emperor?!”

“The Empress of the Xia Country has led the battle herself and really won against the Primitive World’s demon clan!”

“A miracle appeared in the Cairo airspace, and the Crow Immortal descended to the human world!”

“How can an ancient god descend on this world? Is the Western State going to change again?”

The major changes that occurred in Western State have shaken everyone like an earthquake, causing a tense atmosphere among all cultivators.

Zhao Huai has already returned to Central State Xia’s Capital with the injured disciples and Yu Qinghan to rest and recover. The Abbot Lingyin and other elders, Zhou Ping, Dongfang Xuan, etc., are left behind in Anxi Prefecture to defend the place.

Yu Qinghan plans to discuss some strategies to deal with the upcoming invasion of the powerful forces from various places.

As they enter the Xia’s territory and pass a town along the way, fortunately, they do not find any traces of demons. Instead, they encounter two strange-looking monks, one fat, and one thin.

“It’s them.”

Yu Qinghan reveals surprise in her clear eyes on the green slatestone street.

Zhao Huai glances at the two of them, questioning doubtfully:

“Know them?”

Yu Qinghan nods slowly: “Yes, Monks Cang Long and Fu Hu from the Little Lingyin Temple. They are my road guardians.”

While they are observing Monks Cang Long and Fu Hu, Monk Fu Hu also sees Yu Qinghan and quickly steps forward with his hands clasped together, uttering a Buddhist chant:

Now, the Northern Wolf Empire acts as a buffer against the Xia’s territory. The ten lost states of the North Country have surprisingly become a buffer zone.

Monk Cang Long continued: “Additionally, we also discovered that the Bloody Devil Clan can disguise themselves as humans. Once they infiltrate Central State, assassinate border cultivators and launch surprise attacks from behind, the war might end early.”

“Blood Devils can disguise themselves as human cultivators?”

Upon learning this news, Yu Qinghan’s concern deepened.

Zhao Huai had already known this.

Back in Nanyu Prefecture, several Blood Devils disguised themselves as Yan soldiers and sneaked into the mansion to eavesdrop. He killed them on the spot.

If the Blood Devils really infiltrate the human race, it could easily create chaos.

Zhao Huai pondered: “It seems that we need to plan carefully for the Western and Northern States. The premise is to ensure the stability of Spiritual Mountains. If all cultivators leave for the two places, Central State will be left extremely vulnerable, allowing the Devil Sect to exploit the situation. Once the Immortal Sect falls, the cultivators of various great sects will lose their foundation, and the whole world will face turbulence.”

Amitabha. “If Buddha were still in the world, these demons would not have the chance to wreak havoc. It’s a pity that since 800 years ago, our Buddhist path has not produced another Heavenly Lord like Buddha,” said Monk Fu Hu with a soft sigh, feeling regretful.

“Maybe there really is a way to bring Buddha back to the human world.”

Zhao Huai thought for a while, and an idea flashed through his mind, with a brilliant smile.

Monk Fu Hu shook his head helplessly: “Your Highness, don’t joke about it. If there really is such a method, would the invasion of other worlds still matter?”

Zhao Huai explained seriously: “I’m not joking. The Holy Raven Sect used a ritual from the Sorceress Sect to successfully summon the Crow Immortal. Have you heard about it?”

Monk Fu Hu and Monk Cang Long looked at each other and then nodded. They said solemnly, “The Sorceress Ancient Sect, originated from mainstream Buddhism, is the state religion of the Shenluo Empire. We’ve naturally heard of it. However, this method of invoking divine spirit may not necessarily be effective for Buddhists, and if it is, it would require a huge price.”

“How would we know without trying?”

Zhao Huai’s eyes sparkled.

Why should the human race be used as a sacrifice to summon evil gods?

Can’t the demons be used as a sacrifice to let human immortals descend?
