Chapter 638 - 325: Who Is This Person? Shocking Revelation
Just as he was about to unleash a massacre, Zheng Yi, observing the chaotic scene at the Demon Suppression Banquet, slightly changed his expression, glanced back at Dou Yuehai, and then turned around to leave.
He originally came to eliminate the remnant of the Vast Sea Demon Dao, the Faceless Man, with the intention of eradicating the problem at its root, ensuring it would never arise again.
However, it was merely a casual action.
Comparatively, he cared little for this Demon Suppression Assembly. Even if the Changchun Immortal Island behind it intervened, with his current Dao practice and methods, unless a Nascent Soul True Monarch faced him, whether he would show any respect was questionable.
If besieged by the Demon Suppression Assembly, Zheng Yi did not intend to surrender easily or have any reservations—anyone blocking his way would die!
Fortunately, Dou Yuehai understood the rules, knew when to advance or retreat, and recognized what was formidable, saving the assembly from a calamity.
Dou Yuehai, enduring the injuries on his body, stood up with an aura as heavy as a mountain, staring intensely at the departing figure, his eyes flashing with a gleam of thought.
Clearly, he was contemplating something.
As that figure completely disappeared from sight, transforming into a golden light and shooting into the boundless sea, vanishing without a trace, Dou Yuehai’s expression changed, unable to hold on any longer, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
His aura instantly weakened considerably, his face turned pale without a trace of color, yet his emotions relaxed.
"Chairman, Chairman?!"
"This is outrageous, truly outrageous!"
"The rest of you, follow me, chase down that killer, and bring him back to the chairman for judgment!"
Some cultivators gathered around Dou Yuehai, while others were so indignant they were about to rush out the door to chase and fight Zheng Yi to the death.
"All of you, get back here, damn it! Has my voice no weight at this Demon Suppression Assembly?!"
Suddenly, Dou Yuehai pushed aside everyone around him and roared at the cultivators about to rush out of the banquet door.
His voice resonated, echoing continuously.
For a moment, the noisy and restless Demon Suppression Banquet fell into a dead silence, and everyone involuntarily closed their mouths, looking back with eyes filled with confusion and unease.
No one expected Dou Yuehai to be so furious. It seemed that everything they did exceeded the chairman’s tolerance limits.
With a stern gaze sweeping the room, Dou Yuehai’s blood-shot eyes exuded a suffocating chill, the cold aura continually surging, causing everyone who met his gaze to lower their heads, no longer filled with the extreme anger from before.
Undoubtedly, within the Demon Suppression Assembly, Dou Yuehai’s authority as chairman still managed to suppress everything.
As his gaze moved around the room, Dou Yuehai couldn’t help but sigh.
The group of cultivators was still too chaotic.
These subordinates appeared brave but lacked adaptability, and if they really were allowed to behave recklessly, the ultimate result might be the destruction of the Demon Suppression Assembly.
Because no one knew better than him how terrifying the intruder who crashed the Demon Suppression Banquet was.
"Chairman, who exactly was the intruder just now who could even injure you?"
After the initial anger subsided, some insightful cultivators slowly realized and couldn’t help but start asking, cautiously.
"Ah, finally, someone realized." Upon hearing this, Dou Yuehai’s expression slightly relaxed, and after a moment, he spoke slowly, "It seems you’re not entirely hopeless."
"I’ve long told you, with your minds full of fighting and killing, when doing things, you need to consider not just your own strength but also the opponent’s background. Acting rashly without knowing the opponent’s depth, even the Changchun Immortal Island far out in the Outer Sea might not save you."
"This person’s power is so frightening that even I couldn’t withstand a single move. Going to provoke him, you’re really seeking death!"
"If I hadn’t stopped you earlier, you might all have died here!"
As Dou Yuehai’s last words fell, the Demon Suppression Banquet erupted in shock; no one expected the chairman to say such a thing.
Here, at the core of the Demon Suppression Assembly, with most of the alliance’s powerhouses gathered, and with several Golden Core cultivators and the Island Protection Array and Heritage Spiritual Artifacts, they could contend with even peak Core Formation existences.
Unless...
Many cultivators suddenly had a thought that terrified them, making them shiver and instinctively speak up, their voices tinged with an involuntary tremor.
"Chairman, who exactly was the intruder?!"
Two Core Formation cultivators were also puzzled, whispering inquiries, although their voices were not loud, in the dead-silent environment, they spread, making everyone perk up their ears.
Chairman Dou Yuehai indifferently glanced around before speaking mildly, "Weren’t you just discussing that person who caused a storm at the Flood Dragon Demon Court, survived under the hand of the Sea-covering Demon Monarch, and single-handedly broke the rumored Nine Dragon Sea Patrol Array, the strongest Golden Core cultivator of the Human Race, below Nascent Soul, the number one?"
"What? He is the Isle Master Azure waves, the strongest Golden Core cultivator, the number one below Nascent Soul?!"
"How is this possible? Despite his face being clearly exposed, now that I think about it, I can’t remember his appearance at all. Is it some kind of spiritual influence?"
"Good heavens, what kind of monster have we provoked? Fortunately, we didn’t take action earlier, otherwise we’d all be lying on the ground now..."
As Dou Yuehai spoke that name, everyone involuntarily drew in a sharp breath.
The few simple words echoed like muffled thunder, trembling in conversation, making it hard for people to believe what they had just witnessed.
Everyone was still whispering to each other, occasionally letting out low exclamations, their expressions rapidly changing.
No one had ever seen the true face of the Isle Master Azure Waves.
But when it came to his reputation, it was as renowned as thunder, his name worn into the ears like calluses.
After all, he was reputed as the strongest Golden Core Cultivator of the Human Race.
Praised as the invincible grand cultivator under Nascent Soul, the number one below Nascent Soul.
He had been a prominent figure in the East Origin Sea Realm for decades.
Not only could he massacre many within the Flood Dragon Race, personally slaying more than a dozen flood dragons, but he could also escape from the Nascent Soul Powerhouse Sea-covering Demon Monarch. Even though he was frequently suppressed by the strong arm of the Flood Dragon Demon Court, each time he reemerged, his strength had increased significantly, completely stabilizing his position.
He certainly lived up to the title.
This strongest Golden Core Cultivator continuously stood on the frontline against the Flood Dragon Demon Court, idolized by countless Human Race cultivators who aspired to emulate him, creating numerous followers.
What they didn’t expect was that the person who barged into the Demon Suppression Banquet moments ago, acted without a word, and directly took down the fifth Vice Chairman of the Demon Suppression Assembly, was indeed this person.
Many couldn’t accept it for a while.
But now thinking about it, the cultivators suddenly felt mentally at ease.
After all, such a formidable combat power was needed to take the head of a Core Formation Cultivator in front of the crowd at the Demon Suppression Banquet.
If it was this person, then everything made sense.
Even if the Chairman of the Demon Suppression Assembly, the long-famed Eight-armed Celestial King Dou Yuehai personally intervened, being quickly wounded in a few exchanges didn’t seem so hard to accept now.
After all, this was the one reputed as the strongest Golden Core, the invincible grand cultivator, the number one below Nascent Soul.
Because Zheng Yi comprehended the Heaven-Repairing Dao Nirvana Skill, the Time Realm circulated rapidly around him, causing him to appear decades older or younger, radiating spiritually around and even affecting cultivators’ Divine Soul Will, leading to him not being recognized immediately.
However, being a late-stage True Core cultivator, Dou Yuehai, after a series of exchanges, sensed specific information from the opponent’s strength and Dao practice, thus directly identifying the opponent’s true identity.
"But why did he barge into the banquet like that and have to kill Lao Wu?!"
"I remember that person seemed to mention something about all this having to do with the already extinguished doctrine of the Vast Sea Demon Dao..."
"Right, right, I think I heard that too."
Someone muttered softly.
"I seem to have heard that Isle Master Azure Waves call the fifth Vice Chairman something...Faceless Man or Faceless?!"
After the clamour, the Demon Suppression Banquet quieted down, many still bore shocked expressions, clearly, the earlier series of events were too sudden.
The rapid changes made it hard for people to accept.
However, soon someone inquired softly.
That one renowned as the number one Golden Core below Nascent Soul firmly stood in opposition to the Flood Dragon Demon Court, having only ever attacked the strongholds of the Flood Dragon Demon Court or rebel forces allied with them.
Thus, his sudden intrusion into the Demon Suppression Banquet, needing to kill the unknown fifth Vice Chairman, seemed illogical.
There must be an underlying cause for such an unexpected act.
This time, everyone had doubts.
Soon, Dou Yuehai’s facial expression changed, as if recalling something, then ordered: "Someone, examine the deceased Lao Wu, check meticulously, is there anything unusual on him?!"
Dou Yuehai spoke with some uncertainty.
He didn’t know why Zheng Yi did this, directly barging into the Demon Suppression Assembly and killing Lao Wu, but showing no interest in others, and attempting to leave immediately afterward.
Evidently, Zheng Yi’s sole purpose was related to Lao Wu.
This was the truly baffling aspect.
In hindsight, everything seemed shrouded in riddles.
Quickly someone came to the corpse of the deceased Vice Chairman, meticulously probing until suddenly sensing something peculiar between the neck and the hair.
That person, experienced, lightly exerted some magical power to gently rub against it, and instantly, a clear mark appeared there. With a casual lift, a complete Human Skin Mask Spiritual Artifact was revealed.
