688: Chapter 251: Ancient Demon of Zhongnan Mountain_3 688: Chapter 251: Ancient Demon of Zhongnan Mountain_3 This left him speechless, somewhat at a loss.
Seeing that Sun Wukong didn’t want to listen, the anxious ancient demon said, “Let me tell you first, and then you see whether this news is worth letting me go.”
Jin Chan couldn’t help but sigh at this; the ancient demon was truly terrified by Sun Wukong.
Otherwise, it would not have been so flustered.
Sun Wukong clearly wanted to benefit without giving anything in return, with no intention of making any promise.
If Sun Wukong had wanted to kill him, he would have done so long ago.
Why wait until now?
Unfortunately, the ancient demon lost all sense of measure and didn’t realize this at all.
Worrying that Sun Wukong would kill him, he hurriedly spilled the beans.
“Among the ancient demons, someone is leading the effort to revive the Supreme Ancestral Demon.”
The ancient demon quickly said, and seeing that Sun Wukong remained unmoved, he continued, “This time, the collection of immortal souls is meant as a sacrifice for the revival of the Supreme Ancestral Demon.
Once successful, the Supreme Ancestral Demon will return to the world, and the entire Three Realms will fall under the demonic power of the Supreme Ancestral Demon.”
“The Supreme Ancestral Demon is more formidable than Lord Taishang?”
Sun Wukong asked with a faint smile.
“Not much difference.”
The ancient demon immediately replied, the answer making Sun Wukong surprised.
Was the Supreme Ancestral Demon really so strong?
“In the Primordial era, The Three Pure Ones themselves took action, besieging the Supreme Ancestral Demon and only then was he killed and consigned to Eternal Silence.”
The ancient demon revealed a secret.
“If that’s the case, even if the Supreme Ancestral Demon revives, The Three Pure Ones can kill him, so why should I worry?”
Sun Wukong scoffed.
With The Three Pure Ones around, there was no need to be concerned about the revival of the Supreme Ancestral Demon.
Such a terrifying existence would naturally be dealt with by The Three Pure Ones.
Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, the ancient demon said, “Indeed, a single Supreme Ancestral Demon is no match for Lord Taishang and the others, but there are other utmost beings who would assist.
Even if the Supreme Ancestral Demon were to revive, The Three Pure Ones themselves would not be able to deal with him.”
Sun Wukong was also somewhat astonished.
This was the first time he had heard that there were beings comparable to The Three Pure Ones.
Those he had heard of before, even the Haotian God, were only close to The Three Pure Ones.
Now this Supreme Ancestral Demon required The Three Pure Ones to join forces to kill him.
He was definitely a being in the same realm as The Three Pure Ones,
“Who are the other utmost beings you’re talking about?”
Sun Wukong inquired.
However, the ancient demon shook his head and said, “I’m not a top figure among the ancient demons; my status is not high.
To access these secrets, one must be at least of the Sub-Paramount level.”
“In the Primordial era, strong beings abounded.
Even a Great Heavenly Venerate indeed strong, but it is incredibly hard to break into the higher echelons.”
The ancient demon was not wrong and was not deliberately deceiving Sun Wukong.
With his strength, he couldn’t access the most core secrets.
Even this piece of information was already the limit of what he could know.
Thinking this, Sun Wukong nodded and said, “Where is the revival taking place?”
“Zhongnan Mountain.”
The ancient demon said.
Sun Wukong was somewhat surprised and couldn’t help but say, “You ancient demons really have the audacity to set up an altar in Zhongnan Mountain, thinking the Daoist Immortals are vegetarians.
Once they discover it, the Daoist Immortals across the world will certainly attack you en masse.”
Zhongnan Mountain, a Holy Land of the Daoist Sect, held an unimaginably high status within the Daoist community.
To revive the Supreme Ancestral Demon in a Daoist Holy Land, they truly dared to think and act.
Should the Daoists be enraged, even The Three Pure Ones could not avoid taking action.
The ancient demon said, “That’s precisely why it is darkest under the lamp; they would never imagine we would be so bold.”
So that was it.
One had to admit these ancient demons were very cunning.
If it hadn’t been for the capture of a high-ranked Great Heavenly Venerate, all of this would have remained unknown.
“Moreover, aside from the Great Heavenly Venerates, the ancient demons beneath them don’t know what’s to be done, let alone the location.
Even capturing them would be futile.”
Sun Wukong suddenly understood.
The ancient demons below the Great Heavenly Venerates didn’t know; above the Great Heavenly Venerates, even if they knew, very few could be captured.
Would the powerful ones in the Daoist Sect pay attention to these matters?
The death and injury of ordinary living beings didn’t concern them at all.
Regular immortals couldn’t defeat these ancient demons and could even be counter-killed.
These ancient demons were truly too cunning.
As thoughts raced through Sun Wukong’s mind, his hand showed no mercy.
He channeled his strength, and his powerful mana surged into the ancient demon’s body, extinguishing all its life force.
The ancient demon trembled and was killed by Sun Wukong.
Just like that, two top-tier Great Heavenly Venerates among the ancient demons were slain by Sun Wukong.
At this time, Sha Wujing also awoke.
When he witnessed this scene, his pupils contracted.
He was somewhat anxious, fearing that Sun Wukong and Jin Chan would kill him as well.
Sha Wujing still remembered being killed by Jin Chan’s True Self upon its return.
Now that the old monk was no longer around, and the real Jin Chan stood before him, if Jin Chan chose to strike him down, Sha Wujing wouldn’t even have a chance to flee.
Jin Chan was momentarily stunned, then immediately understood what Sha Wujing meant.
He chuckled and said, “Wujing, be at ease.
The personality that attacked you before represented my ferocious side, but now my personalities have fully integrated.
I won’t attack you any longer, and if I wanted to kill you, I wouldn’t have asked your Monkey King to come save you.”
“Monkey King…”
Sha Wujing called out hesitantly.
Sun Wukong glanced at him but paid no heed.
Kicking the ancient demon’s corpse aside, Sun Wukong stated, “Old Sun is heading back, you all make your own way.”
