“Can’t figure it out, really can’t figure it out.”

Dongfang Tianxing shook his head repeatedly, baffled by the situation.

“The best course of action now might be for us to personally visit the Southern Wilderness. Maybe then we might find some answers.”

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Jiang Chengxuan said, “Fellow Daoist Dongfang, Senior Xuan Yang, why don’t you let my wife and I personally investigate this matter.

You two should continue to oversee the Northern Border and the Western Desert.

Meanwhile, try to contact other allies, and together conduct a thorough search for these demons in our territories.

With our strength, even if there is hidden danger in the Southern Wilderness, we should be able to retreat safely if we can’t handle it. What do you think?”

Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s proposal, Heavenly Lord Xuan Yang and Dongfang Tianxing exchanged glances and soon made their decision.

Heavenly Lord Xuan Yang said, “In that case, I’ll leave it to you.

In the meantime, I will contact Everlasting Mountain and Infinite Ocean, and with Dongfang, we’ll conduct a thorough investigation in the Northern Border and the Western Desert, not letting any potential danger slip by.”

“Good!”

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan nodded with a smile.

Without further delay, the four of them set off on their respective tasks.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan headed straight for the Southern Wilderness, while Heavenly Lord Xuan Yang and Dongfang Tianxing went to other destinations.

With Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s current speed, it didn’t take them long to reach the Southern Wilderness from the Northern Border.

Upon their arrival, they immediately sensed a dense aura of evil permeating the area. Even the surrounding spiritual Qi was tinged with demonic auras, which was extremely dangerous.

Once the spiritual Qi of this region became fully contaminated, it would be a disaster for the cultivators of this region.

Most importantly, the demonic Qi within the spiritual Qi was incredibly covert.

Had it not been for Jiang Chengxuan being an expert in this area and their heightened sensitivity to demonic Qi, it would have been difficult to detect.

At the very least, Murong Xian, who had come here before, should not have noticed this.

It seemed the situation in the Southern Wilderness was even more severe and complicated than they had initially thought.

Whoosh-

Just as they landed in a cultivation city, thousands of variously shaped demonic monsters, like cats smelling fish, crazily rushed towards them.

“Wife, protect me while I use these creatures to deduce the general situation here,”

Jiang Chengxuan looked at the demonic monsters that were swarming towards them and suddenly said to Shen Ruyan.

Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s words, Shen Ruyan immediately understood what her husband wanted to do.

She nodded.

“Don’t worry, Husband. With me here, no one will disturb you.”

“Ok.”

Jiang Chengxuan nodded slightly.

Then, he suddenly formed a seal and a mysterious and complicated aura appeared on Jiang Chengxuan’s body.

Crack—

At the same time.

A circle of lightning spread out in all directions with Shen Ruyan and Jiang Chengxuan at the center.

Buzz!

Instantly, all the demonic monsters rushing towards them and touching the lightning net were trapped in it.

They were like insects caught in a spider web. No matter how they struggled and roared, they could not break free from the lightning net.

Buzz!

At the same time.

Jiang Chengxuan’s aura became more ethereal, almost merging with the world around him.

Suddenly, his hands formed an extremely intricate and strange seal.

His eyes shone brightly, and he uttered a single word.

“Rise!”

BOOM!

At that moment, all the demonic monsters trapped in the lightning net seemed to be swept by some bizarre force.

In an instant, their bodies were like weathered rocks. With a light blow of the wind, they disappeared without a trace.

The force continued to spread, immobilizing and sacrificing all incoming demonic monsters, turning them into dust.

“How is it, husband?”

When Shen Ruyan saw Jiang Chengxuan stop and open his eyes again, she couldn’t help but ask.

Jiang Chengxuan heaved a sigh of relief.

He spat out two words with a slightly ugly expression.

“Great danger!”

“What?”

Shen Ruyan’s eyes narrowed. She said in disbelief,

“Great danger? What does that mean?”

“In a literal sense.”

Jiang Chengxuan replied, his face regaining its color.

He turned to Shen Ruyan and explained,

“These demonic monsters not only have the ability to corrupt cultivators, demon beasts, and even mortals into demonic monsters, but every time they absorb the spiritual Qi of this world, they taint it with a bit of demonic Qi.

Although the demonic Qi is very faint, as it accumulates, eventually, it will contaminate the spiritual Qi of this world.”

“How did this happen?”

At this moment, Shen Ruyan also realized the seriousness of the issue.

If left unchecked, their Nine Essences Cultivation World would inevitably become a haven for demons.

Under such circumstances, the will of the world would definitely fall into an indefinite sleep.

At that time, the person in the outer world would probably not need to spend too much effort to successfully refine this world.

His first target was exactly the most chaotic Southern Wilderness without a true Soul Formation Heavenly Lord.

By occupying it and turning it into a demonic haven, they could use it as a base to advance towards the Northern Border, Western Desert, and even the Eastern End and Central Plain.

“Therefore, if we want to stop this from happening, we have to eliminate all the demonic monsters?”

Shen Ruyan asked, looking at Jiang Chengxuan gravely.

“Yes and no.”

Jiang Chengxuan first nodded, then shook his head.

“To resolve this, exterminating all the demonic monsters is only the first step.

What we really need to do next is to find and eliminate the source of this problem.

That’s the only way to truly remove this threat.”

BOOM!

While they spoke, Shen Ruyan summoned endless thunder around her.

With a light stomp of her feet on the ground, a circular wave of lightning spread out, engulfing the entire cultivation city.

Buzz!

In an instant, the entire city seemed to have encountered a world-destroying lightning.

All the demonic monsters in the city and thousands of kilometers outside the city were reduced to ashes in an instant.

“Let’s start by eradicating all the demonic monsters in the Southern Wilderness,” Shen Ruyan declared, her eyes gathering storms of thunder.

Without a word, Jiang Chengxuan transformed into a brilliant sword light, darting towards the distance.

Rumble!

It was as if heavenly punishment descended wherever Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan passed.

All demonic monsters, regardless of their level, were incinerated.

It was only when they reached the area controlled by the Eastern End and Central Plain that their expressions suddenly became serious.

“These people… ?”

Jiang Chengxuan suddenly raised his hand and stopped Shen Ruyan from continuing to attack. Instead, he continued to make hand seals and calculate.

Wisps of spiritual light began to condense at his fingertips.

However, this time, before he could calculate for long, the spiritual light on his fingertips extinguished with a puff.

“Husband, what’s happening?”

Seeing this, Shen Ruyan’s expression changed. She turned to look at Jiang Chengxuan.
