Master of Strange Dao

Black Ship Saints walked in the wilderness as the High Priest personally led the team to find the Demon Clan member who had awakened the ancient demon bloodline.

However, now, several saints were injured, and a wisp of eerie black air swirled around the Jellyfish's face.

"This continent isn't just ordinarily chaotic. The Immovable Immortal Dynasty occupies only half the territory.

The Demon Clan, anomalies, Evil Gods, ghosts, all sorts of strange things exist.

Apart from the Immovable Immortal Dynasty, though the Demon Clan is the strongest, internally, they are in a complete mess.

In this situation, wanting to find that ancient demon bloodline seems somewhat difficult."

Fish Bone's tone carried a hint of worry and disdain.

No matter how non-mainstream the Black Ship Saints were within the Four Divine Dynasties, they were ultimately of the human race.

It was normal for them to disdain the chaos and the rampant devils on this continent.

After arriving, they took the Token from Old Ji, along with the Heavenly Mirror from Jixia Academy.

In the past, with their identity, coming here would almost certainly mean receiving the Evil Dao cultivator treatment.

But now, in human territory, as long as they didn't engage in mass killings, they could do as they pleased.

Yet they didn't expect the human territory outside to be in such a ghostly mess.

Not to mention those chaotic things, even within the Demon Clan, conflicts were numerous, with large-scale fights happening daily.

Among the major powers, there were already four or five within the Demon Clan. The smaller ones were even more countless, with each mountain having its king without any issues.

The Black Ship High Priest also had concerns. They had already gathered a lot of information in this period.

Initially, they thought finding that Demon Clan member wouldn't be too hard, but now it seemed hasty.

At first, listening to the sensing of the Cloud Whale, he thought it might be a Great Demon like the Cloud Whale, who had already awakened the bloodline inheritance.

But upon coming here and gathering some information, this hypothesis was overturned.

With the chaos within the Demon Clan, if any powerful Great Demon had awakened the ancient demon bloodline inheritance, there would definitely be significant movements, and it couldn't be hidden.

Finally, after gathering enough information, the Black Ship High Priest had to confirm that what they were looking for might be a little demon.

And a little demon poses more difficulties.

If there were any exceptionally talented little demons, it wouldn't remain hidden.

And the Demon Clan doesn't adhere to principles, placing particular importance on blood lineage. Any little demon with immense potential, once exposed, would undoubtedly be killed by rival forces while still in its infancy.

Don't expect them to set aside mutual vengeance to nurture the little demon into a peerless Great Demon, leading the Demon Clan to suppress the Immovable Immortal Dynasty.

These Demon Clans, or rather, the majority of those capable of making decisions, don't have such a broad perspective.

Great Demons with such perspectives couldn't suppress other Demon Clans to consolidate power.

If they did, they wouldn't need to rely on a promising little demon.

In other words, the demon they were looking for was most likely a little demon, certainly not from any major clan, without much background, and not residing in any prosperous location.

So, they were searching for a little demon in a remote area, of a not too powerful race, likely capable of hiding.

Even the Demon Clan themselves might not find such a demon, making it harder for these outsiders to find.

"Let's search slowly. With the Token given by the Cloud Whale, we'll travel the world. Once close enough, we'll surely sense it."

The High Priest wasn't discouraged, believing challenging tasks highlighted their value.

After speaking, the High Priest glanced at the Jellyfish, its face shrouded in an eerie black aura, left from a previous encounter with a Demon Clan's evil cult.

"Jellyfish, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. It's just some ominous and eerie qi, not as bad as the Evil, it can't corrode me. In three days at most, it'll dissipate on its own."

Hearing this, the others secretly sighed in relief.

If it's just ominous, that's okay.

In the past, they might have feared it, but now, carrying the greatest ominousness, any other ominousness was a minor concern.

"Let's keep moving. This is considered our first important formal mission."

The High Priest emphatically stressed, giving a motivational boost and raising spirits.

With renewed vigor, they had a fierce determination, ready to curse anyone standing in their way.

...

In the first layer of the Abyss, Jiu Nian returned with the Black Sky Devil, speaking to no one, acknowledging none, peacefully restoring his strength.

During this process, he continued downstream along the Nu River, moving farther from the location of the Abyss Rift Valley.

Several years passed like this, and his devil form had regained fifth-sixth tier strength.

Today, he suddenly felt another kind of summoning.

It wasn't a summoning like the Heavenly Devil King, but a sacrificial summoning.

...

Outside the Immovable Immortal Dynasty, in a chaotic place.

An evil aura filled the mountains and fields, black clouds shrouded the sky in the dim forest.

A group of Demon Clan members, their bodies tangled with demonic qi and demon qi, constructed an altar filled with a barbaric, bloody atmosphere using numerous bones.

A one-eyed monster with a wolf's head and a human body, with slender eyes, limped to the altar, removing an arm and a leg as offerings, immersing them into the central flames.

A long lament-like call echoed in the miasma-filled forest.
