Chapter 356: Gathering of Martial Sages!
“What’s going on?”
In his Essence Soul state, Su Jingxing looked at the sky above the public palace area with its Thunder Dragon vision.
Over there, the worldly energy seemed to be guided by an invisible force and lingered above a palace for a long time.
Is there something wrong with this palace?
Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul memorized the location of the particular palace and flew towards the Deputy Prime Minister, Luo Shan, who had stepped out from a building after receiving news.
!!
“Greetings, Martial Sage.”
Luo Shan shouted respectfully from a distance, “What can I do for you, Martial Sage?”
“Bring out all the information about the Demon’s Den and send them here.”
Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul went straight to the point.
“Alright.”
Luo Shan did not ask for the reason. He waved his hand and called over a few staff members who were standing nearby to pa.s.s on the order.
When that was done, he explained softly, “The Prime Minister has gone to the Qiannan Prefecture, and the other two Deputy Prime Ministers have gone to the Kaiyuan Prefecture and Chongming Prefecture respectively. I’m the only one in the capital these few days.”
He was explaining on behalf of the others why they did not come out to greet Su Jingxing.
After all, with the arrival of a Martial Sage, no matter the reason for the visit, everyone in the cabinet had to come and meet him.
Su Jingxing naturally didn’t make things difficult or put on airs.
“Go about your business. Don’t worry about me,” said Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul calmly. It retracted the white light on his body and revealed the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor that was covered in scars. Under Luo Shan’s shocked gaze, it said calmly, “I came here this time to figure out the situation in the Demon’s Den. You probably saw the strange phenomenon earlier. It was caused by the Demon’s Den. Demonic creatures have emerged from the Demon’s Den below the back mountain of Dongting Mountain. The marks on this armor were left behind when I was fighting the demonic creatures.”
Luo Shan opened his mouth wide, his heart pounding.
After a long while, he calmed himself down and said in a trembling voice, “Th-then… the demonic creatures…”
“Those who appeared were all wiped out by me.”
Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul went on calmly, “But no one knows when the demonic creatures will emerge from the depths of the Demon’s Den again. I’m telling you this because I hope you can mobilize the Prefecture Army to set up a defensive circle around Dongting Mountain. I’ve already informed the Celestial Pole Sect on Dongting Mountain to evacuate.”
“I… I understand!”
Luo Shan gritted his teeth and said firmly, “I’ll inform the Prefecture Army right away to lock onto Dongting Mountain.”
How many people did the Celestial Pole Sect have?
And how many soldiers were there in the Prefecture Army!
Only by mobilizing the army and surrounding Dongting Mountain would there be a certain chance of stopping the demonic creatures from leaving.
This was because the Prefecture Army not only had martial arts experts in the top ranks, but also modern weapons.
When cannon sh.e.l.ls washed the ground, missiles flew through the air, and machine guns lined up in rows,
the low-level demon slaves could be killed with a single sweep. Even Half-Demons could be blown to pieces.
What Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul really wanted to deal with were those Half-Demon Overlords and the three Ancient Demons!
Of course, since this concerned the Ancient Demons, it was not Su Jingxing’s problem alone.
The Martial Sages of other countries had to be involved as well.
The Ancient Demons wanted to return to the surface. This concerned all of humanity!
…
Luo Shan went down to deliver the order and dispatch the Prefecture Army.
Su Jingxing waited in the same spot
Soon, a few staff members rushed to Su Jingxing with two sealed chests.
With a wave of his hand, he dismissed them. Su Jingxing opened the box, and the paper doc.u.ments inside floated in the air.
Some of these materials were very old recorded on specially made paper. Some were hundreds of years old, while others were thousands of years old.
Using his perception as an “eye”, Su Jingxing scanned the contents on the papers.
Whoosh!
Pages of books flashed past.
In less than ten minutes, he had read through all the information.
Shock flashed through the eyes of Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul.
Three Demon’s Dens!
There were actually a total of three Demon’s Dens left behind by the Ancient Demons in the Eastern Continent.
No, it was four.
The fourth was unknown because the location could not be locked onto, and no one knew where it was.
The three others, however, were pa.s.sed down from ancient times.
The Demon’s Den in the back mountain of the Yu Nation’s Dongting Mountain was just one of them.
Putting the fourth aside, just the three confirmed Demon’s Dens alone were extraordinary.
This meant that there were at least three Doors of Darkness!
He already did not know how to seal and close one Door of Darkness.
Now that he had finished reading the information, he realized that there were a total of three such doors!
What should I do?
Although there was a method to seal the Demon’s Den in the recorded contents, after verifying it, Su Jingxing realized that this method was only targeted at the entrance.
It was not targeted at the Door of Darkness
Su Jingxing had personally experienced the aura of the Door of Darkness. The sealing technique recorded in the ancient books could not seal it at all.
Besides, three Demon’s Den, three Doors of Darkness, he wouldn’t be able to seal all of them.
As for the last fourth door, it was unknown if it even existed.
If it did, where was it?
Problems!
They were all tricky problems.
Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul thought quickly. Moments later, it put away the information and went to Luo Shan.
“Help me contact the leaders of the other countries and get them to inform their Martial Sages to contact me immediately.”
“…Alright!”
Luo Shan didn’t dare to ask anything else and immediately carried out the order.
This concerned the Demon’s Den and Su Jingxing’s tone was extremely solemn.
Clearly, the matter was very serious!
It was so serious that they needed to connect the Martial Sages of all 13 countries on the Eastern Continent.
Fortunately, it was a modern society where the Internet had been developed for more than 30 years.
Although there were firewalls between the countries, contact was direct with established diplomatic relations.
Luo Shan called them one by one.
In less than ten minutes.
The leaders of the twelve nations of the Eastern Continent and their respective Martial Sages appeared on the screens.
The place where Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul stood had also become a s.p.a.cious multimedia office hall.
The walls of the hall were filled with display screens.
On the screen, the Martial Sage of the Jing Nation, Gong Junlian, and the Martial Sage of the Guang Nation, Wei Chengzhang whom Su Jingxing had met before were also present.
“Everyone.”
Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul, which had revealed the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor, got Luo Shan to retreat with the other staff members. Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul was left alone in the office hall to face the leaders and Martial Sages of the various countries.
“Everyone, I had no choice but to gather everyone here.
“Before we get down to business, there’s one more thing I would like to trouble everyone with, and that is to dismiss all unrelated personnel.”
Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul met everyone’s gaze and spoke calmly.
The screen fell silent.
Moments later, the leaders of the various countries left.
They also took away the relevant staff members, leaving the Martial Sages of the various countries still on the screens.
Of course, some of these Martial Sages wore masks, and only a small portion of their faces were revealed.
Among them were the Martial Sage of the Jing Nation, Gong Junlian.
At this moment, Gong Junlian asked curiously, “Brother Kong, what is it that requires us to be so secretive?”
“The Demon’s Den!”
Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul said in a low voice, “I don’t know if anyone has experienced any anomalies earlier, but the Yu Nation did. There was a commotion in the Demon’s Den in Dongting Mountain.
“In the depths of the ground, more than ten thousand demonic creatures appeared. They wanted to come out of the Devil’s Den, but I arrived in time to exterminate them. That was how we were spared of a calamity.
“But!”
