Chapter 705
“There’s still another demon?” Lu Qing asked.
“That’s right,” Doctor Chen nodded. “Not long ago, another demonic cultivator tried to attack Jiuli Village. His strength was similar to those three demon leaders. I wounded him, but he managed to escape and hasn’t been seen since. I have no idea where he’s hiding.”
“That demon was likely the one called Eagle Demon,” Xiao Yan added. “He was part of the same group as those three. He’s also a late-stage Golden Core demonic cultivator. Now that he’s gone to ground, he might become a problem in the future.”
She paused, her brows furrowing slightly. “Brother, these demons seem to be survivors from the previous cultivation era. Their assault on the Sacred Mountain was meant to seize its mountain soul—but for what purpose, I can’t say.”
“Eagle Demon, a Golden Core demonic cultivator, huh?” Lu Qing mused. “Leave this matter to me. If he’s still within this world, he won’t escape.”
At his calm assurance, everyone relaxed.
Lu Qing’s power after returning from the starry skies was clearly far greater than before. No one present could discern his true realm now. If he took action, not even a demon hiding at the ends of the earth could avoid being found.
“I’ll heal you both first,” Lu Qing said, looking at the Second and Third Holy Lords. “The Sacred Mountain’s spiritual veins seem heavily tainted. Only you three can cleanse and restore them.”
The three Holy Lords, linked to the Sacred Mountain’s soul, were indeed the best choice to purge the demonic corruption driven deep into the earth veins by the Blood Fiend Soul Banner.
