In the sky, a flying boat was swiftly sailing.
Daoist Master Yu Song had a map laid out in front of him.
It depicted the entirety of Taiwu Dao Mansion.
There were several red dots marked on it.
These red dots were spread across several guardian districts of Taiwu Dao Mansion,
"Father, up to now, there have been traces of the Small Demon Descent Technique appearing in seven locations. There seems to be no pattern at all..."
The black-bearded elder standing behind him spoke.
"Who says there’s no pattern... Look at the position of these seven places, when connected, don’t they resemble the Seven Stars Moon Worship Array from the Lion Camel Ridge Ten Directions Formation Solution?"
Daoist Master Yu Song stated.
"Uh? Father, what does this mean?"
The black-bearded elder asked curiously.
He knew that his father also had some knowledge about arrays.
The Lion Camel Ridge Ten Directions Formation Solution was extremely famous outside, reportedly created by the renowned Lion Camel Great Saint.
"If I’m not mistaken, behind Heavenly Poison Sect is undoubtedly Lion Camel Ridge. They plan to use the Seven Stars Moon Worship Array to concentrate the power of the Small Demon Descent Technique, thereby completing the ultimate demon sacrifice..."
Daoist Master Yu Song said.
"Father, but the area is too vast, Heavenly Poison Sect doesn’t have the capability to set up such a grand array, right?"
The black-bearded elder expressed his disbelief.
These seven cities with traces of the Small Demon Descent Technique spread across various guardian districts of Taiwu Dao Mansion, each distanced possibly thousands of miles apart.
How vast would the coverage of such an array be?
How could Heavenly Poison Sect possibly have this capability?
"Of course, Heavenly Poison Sect does not have this capability, but a lot of array map information of the Human World’s barriers has already been leaked to the Demon Race. The demons that infiltrated Lion Camel Ridge beforehand could totally utilize the Human World’s barrier flaws to set up such a large-scale Seven Stars Moon Worship Array. It’s highly possible."
Daoist Master Yu Song said.
In ancient times, after the human great powers expelled the demons, to construct the grand project that is the Human World, an unknown amount of manpower and resources were expended.
Documents about the Human World’s barriers are top secret for the Human Clan.
Thus, he was also unaware of the positions of various array foundations in the Human World.
Now, the locations where the Small Demon Descent Technique is set up suspiciously resembles the Seven Stars Moon Worship Array... These seven cities’ locations might involve the array foundations of the Human World.
"Father, then what should we do?"
The black-bearded elder spoke.
"If it is really Lion Camel Ridge’s Seven Stars Moon Worship Array, even if we find the source of the Small Demon Descent Technique... it may still be difficult to break this array."
Daoist Master Yu Song sighed deeply, whispering, "I hope it’s not what I think it is."
"Father, we’re approaching Banling City soon."
The black-bearded elder said.
Banling City was the first place where the Small Demon Descent Technique appeared.

Baibi City.
Two Heavenly Persons from Divine Sword Sect had waited for two days and finally a Heavenly Person from Taiwu Dao Mansion arrived.
During these two days, they didn’t just do nothing.
The people of Divine Sword Sect sealed off the entire Baibi City, requiring all residents and travelers to stay indoors and not go out.
After all, the eerie phenomenon of ’ghosts using the path’ appeared twice more during this period.
Elder Qing Song discussed the situation in detail with the Heavenly Person from Taiwu Dao Mansion.
"The two possess True Image Level Martial Intent, hence they were able to resist the invasion of demon thoughts during the ghost path borrowing, other people definitely can’t, once they come into contact with the fog, they’ll be affected."
This Heavenly Person said.
"Yu Heavenly Person, what exactly causes this ghosts using the path phenomenon?"
Elder Qing Song clasped his hands and asked.
"It’s normal that you don’t know. This method is called Small Demon Descent Technique, which can summon demon thoughts from beyond the realm, disturbing the mental consciousness of everyone in a certain area, and it’s said that only those at Heavenly Phenomenon Level can be immune..."
The Heavenly Person from Taiwu Dao Mansion solemnly said: "It’s said that there’s an even more terrifying Great Demon Descent Technique... Not to mention coming into contact with the fog, one doesn’t even need to see it, just hearing the sound could turn them into living corpses and one of them."
"How is such a vast range of illusions achieved by Heavenly Poison Sect?"
Elder Qing Song and Elder Cang Yun both found it somewhat unbelievable that it could affect an entire city.
"It has little to do with Heavenly Poison Sect, mainly it concerns the demons... to produce such a huge impact with the Small Demon Descent Technique, the supporting demon behind this must at least be a high-level Demon Saint of Myriad Phenomena."
Yu Heavenly Person showed a grave expression.
Such a high-level Demon Saint, let alone a middle-level Heavenly Person like him, even a Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial like his grandfather had to look up to them.
"Yu Heavenly Person, why would such a powerful demon target our area..."
Elder Qing Song couldn’t help but ask.
Ordinary demons were one thing.
Now such a powerful demon was about to appear.
How are people supposed to live?
"Because the Demon Race also needs a stable environment for proliferation."
Yu Heavenly Person said after a moment of silence.
As a Heavenly Person from outside, he deeply understood how peaceful the Human World was.
It’s really been protected too well.
People simply don’t know the dangers and horrors outside.
"Yu Heavenly Person, is there any way to remove the Small Demon Descent Technique?"
Elder Qing Song felt there was a deeper meaning in Yu Heavenly Person’s words, but didn’t delve into it and instead turned to ask the most urgent question of the moment.
"There is a way, we must find the source of the Small Demon Descent Technique. Does your Divine Sword Sect have an Array Master?"
Yu Heavenly Person asked.
"We do have one, but he isn’t very skilled."
Elder Qing Song said.
"First, let your Divine Sword Sect’s Array Master come try and see if they can find the source of the Small Demon Descent Technique. If not, we can only wait for the Dao Master to come, but how long that’ll take, I don’t know."
Yu Heavenly Person said.
He did not bring an Array Master along.
Taiwu Dao Mansion’s Array Master is only his grandfather, Daoist Master Yu Song.
Setting aside that similar situations to Baibi City had occurred elsewhere, the current most pressing issue is the impending demon sacrifice by Heavenly Poison Sect.
The Small Demon Descent Technique that appeared in Baibi City was just a minor matter by comparison.
