Chapter 188: Chapter 148: Going Home (Request for Monthly Ticket)

Baibi City.

Four Heavenly People gathered together, too afraid to move.

Due to being surrounded by fog, their sensory perceptions were severely distorted, and they could only maintain clarity by relying on True Image Level Martial Intent.

They didn’t know how much time had passed when they suddenly noticed the fog dispersing and, unexpectedly, the auditory and visual hallucinations also vanished abruptly.

"What’s going on?"

The four of them were astoundingly surprised.

They looked towards the sky, as if the night had been lifted, revealing the blue sky with white clouds.

The enormous and unknown shadow formed by the leg bones in the fog had disappeared.

"Could it be that the Demon Descent Ritual has ended?"

Hou Shuwen murmured to himself.

"It should be."

Daoist Yu of the Heavenly People said solemnly.

Only if the Demon Descent Ritual ended would the influence of the Small Demon Descent Technique vanish.

They quickly looked around and noticed several individuals from the Divine Sword Sect.

"Peak Master Yun, are you alright?"

Hou Shuwen queried Dishui Peak Master Yun Lei as soon as he saw him.

"Elder Hou, I’m fine now, just feeling a bit dizzy and bloated..."

Yun Lei shook his head as he responded.

The condition of the others was more or less the same.

Subsequently, everyone inspected Baibi City and were surprised to find that there had not been significant casualties, only a few who were critically ill died during the Demon Descent Ritual. _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}

More were extremely weak but not in danger of losing their lives.

"What exactly is happening?"

Elder Qing Song remarked, "Could the Demon Descent Ritual have been interrupted?"

According to what Daoist Yu of the Heavenly People had said, if the Demon Descent Ritual was successful, nearly no one in Baibi City would have survived.

"Perhaps the Dao Master found the location of the Demon Descent Ritual and stopped it."

Daoist Yu surmised after some thought.

He felt that this was the only possibility.

With this thought, he immediately declared, "I need to leave first. If there is any situation, the Taiwu Dao Mansion will notify your Divine Sword Sect."

"Thank you for your efforts, Daoist Yu."

Hou Shuwen spoke.

"I’m just running an errand."

Daoist Yu chuckled.

Having come to Baibi City, he had done nothing at all. If the Demon Descent Ritual had not abruptly stopped, he feared he might have been trapped here too.

After speaking, he soared into the air and flew towards the outskirts of Baibi City.

"Let’s all gather here."

Hou Shuwen scanned the people on site and immediately said, "By the way, where is Li Qian? Why haven’t I seen him?"

"Look... isn’t that Li Qian?"

Suddenly, someone pointed to the sky above the outskirts of Baibi City, where an Abnormal Bird was swiftly approaching.

It wasn’t long before a huge black hawk landed, and Li Qian was standing on its back.

"Li Qian, how did you come from outside the city?"

Hou Shuwen exclaimed in surprise.

"Elder Hou, I was just sending off the ancient ancestor."

Li Qian didn’t say it out loud but conveyed it through Sound Transmission into Secrets.

Actually, he had only appeared after seeing Daoist Yu of the Taiwu Dao Mansion leave.

He didn’t want the Taiwu Dao Mansion to be aware of his other identity.

That would bring about some troublesome matters.

"What?"

Hou Shuwen was greatly shocked in his heart; could it be that the Small Demon Descent Technique in Baibi City was broken by that ancient ancestor?

"Li Qian, was it the ancient ancestor who broke the Small Demon Descent Technique?"

He quickly asked through Sound Transmission into Secrets.

"Yes."

Li Qian replied.

Either way, attributing all matters to his cloaked figure was definitely not wrong.

"No wonder..."

Hou Shuwen was inwardly thrilled.

That which even the Taiwu Dao Master could not resolve had been solved by the ancient ancestor; how powerful must he be?

"Elder Hou, the ancient ancestor said that this matter should not be publicized, especially to keep it from the Taiwu Dao Mansion, otherwise, it would cause some troubles."

Li Qian warned.

"Li Qian, please reassure his excellency. Within the entire Divine Sword Sect, only the three of us Supreme Elders are aware of the ancient ancestor’s existence."

Hou Shuwen immediately responded.

Then he also communicated via Sound Transmission into Secrets to inform Elder Qing Song and Elder Cang Yun—two other Heavenly People—about the ancient ancestor breaking the Small Demon Descent Technique in Baibi City.

The two Heavenly People were also immensely shocked.
