693: Chapter 252 Supreme Ancestral Demon_2 693: Chapter 252 Supreme Ancestral Demon_2 Zhong Kui finally recounted the affairs of the Supreme Ancestral Demon, emphasizing that the demon’s power was immense, such that The Three Pure Ones had joined forces to successfully slay him.
The two immortals were almost popping their eyes out.
Honestly, they were frightened by Zhong Kui’s words.
To their utter disbelief, an unknown Supreme Ancestral Demon had appeared out of nowhere.
And from what Zhong Kui implied, the strength of this demon was terrifying – it took The Three Pure Ones together to kill him.
If that were the case, should the Supreme Ancestral Demon resurrect, the Three Realms would be thrown into even greater chaos.
Moreover, the adversary would certainly hold a grudge against the Daoist Sect and would attack it.
By then, these disciples of the Daoist Sect would probably be the unluckiest.
Thinking about this, they immediately panicked.
“Please, you must not speak of this to others, otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to explain it to the Great Saint, especially since the Great Saint had instructed me to keep it a secret.”
The two immortals were in no mood to entertain Zhong Kui any further, promptly took their leave, and departed from there.
After their departure, a smile spread across Zhong Kui’s face.
These Daoist immortals, so full of themselves.
If he had told them directly, very actively,
they definitely wouldn’t have believed him; it was only by speaking this way that they would believe it was true and start panicking.
Because, this was something he was reluctant to say, and he spoke only after they pleaded with him.
It’s only information obtained this way that they would treat seriously, without suspicion, instead feeling that they were privy to an enormous secret.
“Lord Zhong Kui, is that Demon Ancestor really that formidable?”
Five little goblins couldn’t help but ask.
They too had heard what Zhong Kui said and were terribly frightened.
A demon that required The Three Pure Ones to act together to slay, no wonder he was called the Supreme Ancestral Demon.
If he were to resurrect, that would truly be terrifying, possibly even capable of destroying heaven and earth.
“Of course, it’s true.
Do you think the Great Sage Equalling Heaven would lie?
Moreover, for something that made the Great Sage Equalling Heaven so anxious that he came personally to investigate, there is definitely nothing amiss.
We should go now too and find those Ancient Demons, striving to prevent the resurrection of the Supreme Ancestral Demon.”
Zhong Kui’s expression grew somber.
Hearing Zhong Kui’s words, the five little goblins’ faces darkened,
were they really going to prevent the resurrection of the Supreme Ancestral Demon?
The five little goblins really didn’t understand what their master was thinking.
With their power, if they confronted the Ancient Demons, they would surely die a terrible death.
It had not been long since Zhong Kui had been injured by those Ancient Demons, and had just been healed by the Great Sage Equalling Heaven.
Yet so soon after, he was already thinking about going out to find the Ancient Demons.
“Master, I think this matter concerns the great gods and not us so much.
If we go looking for those Ancient Demons and get discovered, wouldn’t that be a path to certain death?”
Zhong Kui’s expression turned unkind as he coldly said, “If you are unwilling to go, you can stay behind at Zhongnan Mountain.
The resurrection of the Supreme Ancestral Demon concerns all living beings in the Three Realms, no one is exempt from this matter.
If we can’t prevent the Supreme Ancestral Demon’s resurrection, none of us will end up well.”
Hearing Zhong Kui’s words and seeing his stern face, the five little goblins immediately understood that Zhong Kui was resolute in his decision.
They either had to stay in Zhongnan Mountain or accompany Zhong Kui to find the altar.
What choice did they have?
Seeing Zhong Kui march outward, the five little goblins exchanged glances, each seeing the determination in the other’s eyes.
They decided to follow their master after all.
Even if it led to their deaths, they could not abandon their master.
They followed behind Zhong Kui as he headed outside.
At that moment, news finally emerged within Zhongnan Mountain,
The Ancient Demons were planning to resurrect the Supreme Ancestral Demon and had intentionally created a fake altar beneath Zhongnan Mountain.
Consequently, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven arrived at Zhongnan Mountain but found nothing.
Many were unaware of the true nature of the Supreme Ancestral Demon.
The immortals, acting on Zhong Kui’s instructions, recounted the powers of the Supreme Ancestral Demon.
Upon hearing that The Three Pure Ones had only jointly managed to kill the Supreme Ancestral Demon, everyone was stunned.
No one had expected the Supreme Ancestral Demon to be such a formidable entity.
Immediately, the Daoist immortals boiled over with excitement.
Any sensible immortal could guess,
that if the Supreme Ancestral Demon were resurrected, the first to be targeted would definitely be the Daoist Sect.
Apart from The Three Pure Ones, no one in the Daoist Sect would be a match for the Supreme Ancestral Demon.
Now, their task was to locate the Ancient Demons’ altar and destroy it to prevent the resurrection of the Supreme Ancestral Demon.
Meanwhile, Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate Tianzun personally arrived at Huaguo Mountain to inquire about the Supreme Ancestral Demon.
“What I know is that those Ancient Demons are roaming around killing immortals, and they want to use the immortals’ souls to resurrect the Supreme Ancestral Demon.
As for their location, I do not know; I learned this from a Great Heavenly Venerate who Old Sun had killed.”
Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate Tianzun, with a grave expression, fully grasped the situation, and immediately returned to the Heavenly Court.
Then, Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate Tianzun reported the matter to the Great Emperor Ziwei.
Great Emperor Ziwei was already waiting for him.
Upon receiving Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate’s report, he immediately ordered a search for the Ancient Demons’ whereabouts and their altar.
The Supreme Ancestral Demon absolutely must not be resurrected, according to the will of the Great Emperor Ziwei.
The Ziwei Heavenly Court also sprang into action.
At the same time, several Ancient Gods also mobilized.
Having belonged to the same era as the Supreme Ancestral Demon, they understood him too well, knowing exactly what kind of entity he was.
