The Grey Rat's Demon Path

Chapter 177: Chapter 161: Impending Chaos (3)

Yu Lulu’s eyes rippled with charm, her expression an open invitation.

"You jest, Fellow Daoist Yu."

Xu Chang’an deflected with a couple of noncommittal remarks.

’That band of Tribulation Cultivators wasn’t just led by a top-tier Great Demon; they must have had an extremely powerful Trapping Magical Artifact as well.’

’Otherwise, with so many demons on Pear Blossom Mountain, it would have been impossible for not a single one to escape.’

’Only to be hunted down and slaughtered one by one!’

"Cloud Sea Peak is nothing like Pear Blossom Mountain. Besides, it’s so close to Peacock Demon City. With the Law Enforcement Demons from Peacock Mountain around, we’re perfectly safe!"

Xu Chang’an said with a reassuring smile.

Yu Lulu pouted coquettishly in response.

However, Xu Chang’an remained unmoved.

The two demons spoke for nearly an hour before Yu Lulu finally departed, though she was reluctant to leave.

"Gray Rat Alchemist, if you change your mind, you can come find me anytime! I’ll leave the door open for you!"

Just before she left, Yu Lulu shot him a coquettish glance.

’The Demon Path was an arduous one. Some demons became lost in their desires, while others simply gave in to their indulgences.’

’I wonder which category Yu Lulu fell into?’

’However, considering her mastery of Tier Two High Grade Arrays, she could never have reached that level without immense perseverance.’

’Then again, perhaps...’

’...this was also a method of cultivation!’

Xu Chang’an didn’t give the matter with Yu Lulu much more thought.

’These are troubled times.’

Ever since Red Cloud Mountain organized a Demon Army and launched a massive invasion into the heartlands of the Human Race, the Red Cloud Mountain Range had become a chaotic mix of friend and foe. All sorts of unsavory characters had come out of the woodwork, hoping to profit from the turmoil.

「Three more months passed.」

Under the leadership of Red Cloud Mountain, numerous top-tier factions answered the call, beginning to organize a third wave of the Demon Army to attack the heartlands of the Human Race.

News from the front lines suggested the war was going exceedingly well; the Human Race was in full retreat.

Many of the demons who participated in the war had come across significant opportunities.

The Human Race were the most spiritual beings in the world.

Their lands were vast and bountiful, filled with countless Spiritual Items and opportunities at every turn.

This alone was enough to tempt some demons to venture there.

Furthermore, for many demons, devouring the flesh and blood of the Human Race was a potent tonic that greatly aided their cultivation.

And if one could devour a Human Race Cultivator, the benefits were naturally even greater!

This great war between the two mountain ranges and the Human Race was the perfect opportunity!

With the war on the front lines proceeding smoothly, the danger was greatly diminished. As a result, the third wave of the Demon Army was far larger than the previous two.

Moreover, factions like Red Cloud Mountain, Snake and Scorpion Cave, Peacock Mountain, Leopard Ridge, Ivory Mountain, Lion’s Mane Cave, and Sleeping Ox Mountain all dispatched large numbers of their demons to the battle.

On the Red Cloud Mountain Range, demons from the major, established factions grew even scarcer.

The situation, it seemed, was spiraling into chaos.

The great powers of the Red Cloud Mountain Range were all busy with the feast of devouring the Human Race. They had no time to spare for the chaos brewing within their own territory.

Incidents of ambush and murder became common throughout the Red Cloud Mountain Range. Word of such attacks even came from the outskirts of Peacock Demon City.

However, Cloud Sea Peak was home to mostly Veteran Great Demons of considerable strength.

Coupled with the protection of Peacock Mountain, the peak remained peaceful and secure.

「And so, another half a year went by.」

One day, a group of uninvited guests arrived on Cloud Sea Peak.

Several Great Demons made straight for the third peak of Cloud Sea Peak, apparently to discuss some sort of business.

Cloud Sea Peak had many artisan demons, so such a scene was quite normal.

An hour later, a dozen or so streaks of rainbow light flashed across the sky, revealing their figures among the peaks of Cloud Sea Peak.

"Fellow Daoists, we are the Law Enforcement Demons of Peacock Mountain! Tribulation Cultivators have infiltrated Cloud Sea Peak, and we ask for your cooperation in our investigation!"

The voice boomed with the force of a thunderbolt, echoing across every peak of Cloud Sea Peak.

’Tribulation Cultivators have infiltrated?’

Inside Gray Rat Cave, Xu Chang’an slowly opened his eyes.
