In the Inferno Realm, the ground is full of holes and crack. The horrifying sky is absent from the sun and the moon. It was as if the wickedness of the night ruled over the sky and engulfing all the existed light.
This is the realm of the devil cultivators.
In the Vicious Grand Duke's palace, a woman wearing chains all over her naked body with a faceless mask covering her face walked in flirtatious behavior toward a bald man wearing the one-eyed face mask.
"…Head chief, we have lost contact with the seventh tier the Ru An Kingdom. We lost a total of eight devil cultivator upper level." As she spoke, a black orb flew out from her mouth.
The orb gave off a strange obnoxious feeling and emitted strong blood odor.
The one-eyed masked man dodged his head upward and spoke in a solemn tone.
"Send a general to investigate this matter."
"Yes." The woman bowed and walked out of the room.
A man with the red mask covering half of his face was walking down the hallway when the woman came out from the room.
The faceless masked woman walked over to the man and laughed amorously. She vomited the black orb and extended it toward the man.
"General of malevolent, the chief orders you to investigate a case in the Ru An Kingdom. You may take five grand warriors with you."
The man's eye changed from bloody red to humanly black color. He took the orb and it slipped into his palm as it sent information into the man's brain.
Without saying any word, the man turned around and leaves the palace.
The woman touched her lip and grinned behind the mask. "It has been a while, right? My lord."
She looked toward the east direction where at the farther away, there's a huge tower domineering all the existence in the Inferno realm.
"The human finally made a move. We too have been more than ready for another… war. Fufufufufufu… What a bloody sight would it be this time? I wished that I could join together with the lord."
…
At the Hall of Saint, within the ninety-nine seats of the saints, there are only ten saints sitting in the hall. They wore the holy white robe and the thin white veil covering their faces.
The atmosphere is dark and gloomy. They just received a report that a devil group was annihilated without even a trace. That does not matter so much but what matter is even the devil cultivator bodies disappeared altogether and the core of the devil ritual also got taken away.
The core cannot be touch by other aside from the devil. It is a basic law in the martial world. If the core is lost, it is the same as forbidding the devil from entering the human world.
This sign means the devil can start a war to force their way into the human world. If the core was destroyed, the devil that protected the core can for a new one but with no one available to create a new core, it can only mean one thing.
War.
"Someone has made a move on the devil cultivators. Who was it?" The man with white long beard and mustache covering his mouth asked in a solemn tone.
"The Ru An Kingdom is under my protection, however, the people I have sent gave the same reports.
There's not even a trace of the devil cultivator, as if they never exist in that place, to begin with. The same could be said for the perpetrator. No one can trace or distinguish the person that killed the devil group." A youthful woman looking around twenty to thirty spoke while covering her mouth with her sleeve.
A man looking about 30 years old with black hair and short beard expressed his thought. "… Regardless of who is it or what they have done. We need to start preparing for the upcoming war. The war three thousand years ago is still fresh in my mind and the devil started it first.
Now, in the devil's eyes, we are the one that starts this first so we have to prepare for their attack."
The woman looked at the man with the long beard as she spoke. "We should host the Sacred Sect event early this time around. It is better if it starts with this year so that we can nurture the sect and the sect after."
"I second that notion." The elder with the long black beard by the man side slapped the table twice to indicate that he agreed.
Right after the elder second the idea, the middle-aged man with long white hair in front of him shook his head and spoke in refined voice.
"I disagree. The Sacred Sect cannot be violated by any mean. I suggest we open the Grand Academy so that the sect could send their students to learn there. If the elders of the sect want to join, it is also allowed but their authority will be taken away. This is better than violating the Sacred Sect event."
"I agree to what Third Earth Saint suggested."
"I second that notion."
"Me too."
The woman looked at the Third Earth Saint and nodded as she also spoke up. "I also agree."
The elder with long white beard nodded and ended the meeting.
"Third Earth Saint will be in charge to open the Grand Academy. Do as you see fit."
"This saint receives the edict." The middle-aged man closed his eyes and disappeared from his seat in a flash.
"Second Earth Saint, tell the Conferred Empires to prepare for the Grand Academy opening."
The elder with grey beard nodded and also disappeared from his seat.
The other saints bowed their head toward the elder long white beard and mustache as the elder stood and disappeared. The hall is emptied in just a matter of second.
At this moment, the saint cultivated in the Void Battleground could feel a tremendous change about to happen in the human world.
The saints all over the martial world already preparing for the huge war that about to happen.
They don't have a clue to who is the one that starts the fight but they know for sure that the world will not be as peaceful as before.
Those that lived from the war three thousand years ago still dread of the result and the sight of the war between the devil and the martial world. Even the demon saint was like a traumatized kid when it remembered the war from three thousand years ago.
If Tian Xuan knew that he has started something huge, he would have to think twice before acting. He would have saved Yi Zhao discreetly without alerting the enemy.
However, he knew nothing.
It is a good thing that Tian Qiu delete all traces of them ever been to the mountain. If not, even the human Saint would be chasing after Tian Xuan and the others.
At this moment, Tian Xuan is feeling chill all over his body but he threw the unnecessary thought behind his head and focused to heal Yi Zhao.
The universe is looking upon the silver-haired boy with a single phrase for him.
'Ignorant is a bliss. Be eternally ignorant and you will have an eternal bliss.'
