Chapter 570: Chapter 570: Crisis Approaching
Hearing this, everyone present showed a look of confusion.
“Is there any unusual occurrence within the Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain? We hope for the Prince to elaborate.” An elder from a sect asked.
The Demon Suppressing King turned his gaze to the continuous range of mountains outside the city and said: “Half a month ago, I saw three stalks of Sacred Medicine in the Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain. Each one of them is worth more than a thousand-year-old ancient medicinal herbs.”
“What? Three stalks of Sacred Medicine?”
“This is such a great opportunity.”
“Why didn’t the Demon Suppressing King bring back the Sacred Medicine?”
····
Some were confused, some were amazed, and some showed a hint of doubt.
The Sacred Medicine was so named because this treasure was rare in the world and had extraordinary uses.
A hundred-year Sacred Medicine is worth more than a thousand-year-old ancient medicinal herb.
And a thousand-year Sacred Medicine, is an unimaginable existence, which definitely gives birth to a spiritual consciousness, and can even transform into a demon.
Once, someone obtained a Sacred Medicine in the Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain, and their strength drastically increased, changing from a weak Martial Artist into a big player.
Of course, there are many types of Sacred Medicine, and their effects vary.
Since the Demon Suppressing King found three Sacred Medicines in the Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain, why didn’t he take them for himself? This simply doesn’t make sense.
“Do you all think that I didn’t want to claim those three Sacred Medicines for myself? I really wanted to, but I was not strong enough. Near those three Sacred Medicines, there are powerful Demon Beasts guarding them. The weakest is of the Four Transformations realm, and there is even a Demon King of the Fifth Transformations realm lurking.” The Demon Suppressing King said.
Hearing this, everyone suddenly understood. So, there were Demon Beasts guarding them. The Demon Suppressing King had no way of getting the Sacred Medicine.
But it’s true, something like Sacred Medicine is generally guarded by Demon Beasts, waiting for the Sacred Medicine to mature, and then swallowing it.
Especially in a place like Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain, where Demons are all over, the Sacred Medicine that is born there will naturally be occupied by Demon Beasts.
Soon, everyone reacted. What would happen if people inside the Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain discovered these three Sacred Medicines?
“May I ask the Prince, where are these three Sacred Medicines in Ferocious Mountain? Are they in the periphery or deep within?” Someone asked, posing a crucial question.
The Demon Suppressing King said: “Of the three Sacred Medicines, one is in the outer part, one is at the intersection of the outer and deep parts, and the other is in the deep part.”
Hearing this, many people’s eyes brightened. There was actually a stalk of Sacred Medicine in the outer part of the Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain. Wouldn’t the people in the Ferocious Mountain now all have a chance to find it?
“Besides discovering the three Sacred Medicines, I discovered something else very important, which is related to everyone here.” The Demon Suppressing King suddenly spoke in a serious tone, his expression becoming especially grave.
Seeing the serious look on the Demon Suppressing King’s face, everyone also quieted down, waiting for the Demon Suppressing King to continue.
The Demon Suppressing King said: “You all know that the array of Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain was left by the ancestors of our Xuan Country. As long as the array’s base stone is still there, the array will not have any problems. But because of this opening of the Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain, coupled with the Demon King’s mischief inside the Ferocious Mountain, the array’s power has shown unprecedented weakening. Based on my calculations, the weakening period of the array will be three months later.”
Hearing this, everyone present was greatly shocked. Even the calmest person could not remain calm.
“Is the Demon Suppressing King saying that three months from now, the array of Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain will become weak? It won’t be able to hold back the Demon Beasts inside?” Someone asked in a trembling voice.
Not just one person, many people present were shocked at the thought of all the Demon Beasts in the Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain rushing out. It would be a terrible disaster. The consequences were simply unthinkable.
The Demon Suppressing King shook his head: “Not that it can’t stop them, but the power of the array will enter its weakest stage. If the Demon Beasts inside the Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain used this opportunity to attack, there is a great chance they can break through the array. At that time, my Demon Suppressing City will bear the brunt.”
In the grand hall, all the powerful people from various parts of Xuan Country fell silent. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
After the Demon Suppressing King finished speaking, he seemed quite indifferent, raising his cup to drink. He had already said enough, as long as one was not a fool, they would understand the seriousness of the matter.
“Could it be that activating Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain this time was a mistake?” More than one person had this feeling rising in their hearts.
At this moment, Elder Chen stood up and asked the Demon Suppressing King: “Prince, will there be any danger for the people who have entered the Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain this time?”
The Demon Suppressing King said: “There won’t be any major problems in Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain for now. If they stay in the outer area and don’t venture deep into it, and if they are smart enough, some of them should be able to survive.”
In reality, the Demon Suppressing King wasn’t telling the whole truth. Right now, there were already some unusual things happening inside the Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain. Even in the outer areas, they could potentially encounter very deadly dangers.
But to pacify these people, the Demon Suppressing King could only say so.
“Prince, does that mean that three months from now, the people inside must come out?” Chen Yongnian asked with a frown.
The Demon Suppressing King nodded. The situation was just like that. Three months from now, the array would weaken, and the Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain would inevitably become restless. If the people inside did not come out by then, they would have no place to bury their bodies.
“In addition, I hope you all can stay in Demon Suppressing City and lend me a hand to resist the attack of the Demon Beasts.” The Demon Suppressing King said, revealing his other objective.
If the Demon Beasts in Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain really rushed out, Demon Suppressing City would naturally be the first to bear the brunt. It would also be the first line of defense against the Demon Beasts. If Demon Suppressing City fell, it would be flat ground behind it, and the Demon Beasts will flood into Xuan Country without any restraint. By then, the people would suffer terribly, and Xuan Country would face a horrifying disaster.
Given the current strength of Demon Suppressing City, it seemed unrealistic to resist the rampage of the Demon Beasts in Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain. In terms of numbers alone, the Demon Beasts in Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain were hundreds of times more than the Martial Artists in the city.
Moreover, if a Demon King level Demon Beast appeared, it would cause devastating damage to Demon Suppressing City.
Therefore, the Demon Suppressing King needed to keep these powerful people here, to resist the Demon Beasts together, and even pull in their various forces behind them. In this way, there would be a chance to block the Demon Beasts outside Demon Suppressing City, ensuring the safety of Xuan Country’s hinterland.
Everyone looked at each other, but no one responded.
To be honest, knowing that a tremendous change would occur here in three months, no one wanted to stay.
“I am aware it is difficult to command the strong, but as long as you all work together to defend Demon Suppressing City, it will bring peace to the forces behind you. Otherwise, once the Demon Beasts invade, who in Xuan Country can remain indifferent?” The Demon Suppressing King said.
