A top figure as powerful as the Peak Master would have a very short and very weak sign of space fluctuation when he arrived, but the old man's appearance was unusually without warning.
Except for the weak and uncertain response from the leader of Wuqing Peak, the other peak leaders did not notice anything before hearing the old man's words. Even the disciples looking at the high platform below did not realize when there was an extra person in the field of vision.
.
This is no longer a question of how perfectly the aura of the realm has been converged, but the level where people are still questioning whether it exists right in front of them.
A mysterious and profound realm of silence and nothingness!
All the disciples felt a shiver in their hearts. Those who had joined the sect not long ago immediately realized the identity of this white-haired old man in civilian clothes who looked like a mortal.
The current leader of Wu Zong is Wu Daozi.
For a time, the eager eyes of yearning and admiration in the square quickly became intense.
Normally, the leader of Wu Zong is always a dragon but not his tail. In previous demon-killing conferences, his position has only been retained but his body has not been seen.
This time, he actually showed up for the first time, which made people pay more attention to this demon-conquering trial.
He secretly tried several times to concentrate on sensing, but could never catch the aura fluctuations on the old man's body. Zhu Junzi's calm and cold eyes flashed with a hint of expectation.
The position of sect leader seems to be close at hand...
Except for the peak master Wu Wuyi, the remaining peak masters felt something in their hearts after they calmed down.
Sect Master, he succeeded?!
Far below, He Guwei lowered his head, licked his dry lips slightly, and his raised eyes were faintly burning.
Returning to nature, this may be the level closest to the so-called "immortal" in the legend!
Undoubtedly, powerful strength fascinates him just as much as beauty. Knowing that strength can only be achieved step by step, he becomes more and more eager for the opportunity of Demonic Blood Pond, the greatest benefit of the subsequent Demon-Conquering Trial.
On the high platform, Peak Master Wu Wu was slightly surprised at first.
The sect leader Cai Huoliao went out not long ago, and now he is back?
As the old man's personal disciple, she was the only one who knew that the old man's retreat was not completely successful, and there was still a very small distance left before he could successfully complete the realm space.
The old man came out of seclusion that day and immediately left the sect after learning the news that a strange beast was born in the far north.
She looked at the old man in white hair and couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, you came back so early, but did you catch that strange beast?"
"Haha... stop talking about it. It's really cunning to toss this old bone and run all over the far north without even seeing the appearance of that beast."
The old man was blowing his beard and talking angrily, but his face was cheerful.
Hearing this, Peak Master Wu Wu covered his mouth and smiled lightly: "Old Zhu was also shaken by the strange beast. It must have frightened it. If the teacher comes out of seclusion early, it won't be able to run away."
Several peak masters each had their own thoughts, while the ruthless peak master on one side had no change in his expression.
The old man waved his hand casually: "That's all, what's yours will eventually be yours. The old man is not lucky enough to tolerate this strange beast. It's better to be down-to-earth and realize it on your own. It's not much worse."
It is said that it is acceptance of fate, but it is not entirely acceptance of fate.
Hearing this, the hearts of several peak masters, including the ruthless peak master, moved again.
Knowing that the teacher was at the critical moment of breaking through that boundary, things like the strange beasts of heaven and earth might be helpful or inspiring, so she stopped talking about this issue if it was not satisfactory at the moment.
Peak Master Wuxin changed the subject, cast his eyes on the empty seat next to him, and chuckled: "It's rare that the teacher is here this time, so it's a pity that it's Junior Sister Leng's turn to go into seclusion."
The commoner old man smiled with his cloudy old eyes and responded calmly: "It's not a pity, it's not a pity, it's the same..."
Before the peak masters could understand the meaning, the commoner man smiled and ordered the great elder standing aside.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get started. These little guys must be impatient."
"Yes, Sect Master."
The Great Elder accepted the order, turned around, and began to walk down to the square below to explain the ritual procedures of the demon-killing conference and the arrangements for the demon-slaying trial after the conference.
The great cause of eliminating demons is the foundation of the human race, so it is indispensable to offer sacrifices to the founders and sages of the past generations, and to praise the great achievements in the vicissitudes of life.
The etiquette of the whole process is complicated. First, the main tablet in the ancestral hall is invited out of the hall to the sacrificial platform in the center of the square. This means that the heaven and earth will be connected to accept the worship of future generations. It also invites the sages of the past generations to witness and test the next demon-conquering trial.
After that, the chief disciples of each peak, as representatives of the new generation, together with the peak masters, elders and main deacons of each hall are required to follow the sect leader and offer incense and worship.
He Gu stepped forward and stepped up the black stone steps in the center of the square with respect and respect along with the other chief disciples, following behind the deacon.
The governor was serious, and everyone who stepped on the stone steps took him seriously and did not dare to look around.
Forty-nine steps, one step at a time, the world fell into a state of tranquility.
It has to be said that the sense of atmosphere affects people's state of mind. People who used to dislike each other now have a tacit agreement to calm down.
He Gu rarely felt any attention from other people. He seemed to have blended into the current group and felt relaxed.
After an unknown amount of time, He Gu, who was following the team at the end, also stepped onto the platform at the top of the sacrificial altar.
The main tablet is a blue ice tablet that never melts all year round, with only the word "无" written like a flying dragon on it. The writing is quite similar to the plaque on the Ancestor Hall. If you don't look carefully, it is easy to miss it and think it is the word "无".
Burning incense and offering incense, everyone walked past the main tablet one by one under the priest's prayer that combined the power of heaven and earth.
"After the ceremony, the Demon Elimination Conference has officially begun!" The great elder's voice, filled with rich spiritual power, spread throughout the sect.
The low and heart-shaking bell rang out with rich frequency and melodiousness, and the square that had been silent just a moment ago suddenly burst into shouts.
Under the guidance of a deacon, He Gu and other disciples exited the sacrificial altar and walked back to their respective areas.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but when he came down, it seemed as if someone was secretly staring at him. He looked around, but the feeling of being spied on disappeared instantly.
After tasting it carefully, the strange feeling of hostility but not hostility made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

The other elders and deacons also stepped down one by one. The sect master and the six peak masters ducked back to the seats in front of the hall, leaving only the great elder responsible for presiding over the meeting still standing on the sacrificial platform.
Raising his hand to suppress the crowd's voices, the Great Elder said impassionedly and impassionedly as usual, "The cause of eliminating demons is the top priority of the human race, and it is the duty of every human cultivator" and the like.
Then the conversation changed and he spoke solemnly about the recent developments of the demon clan.
"Since three months ago, the demons in the west have become obviously restless. Different from the past, the scope of activities involved in entry has suddenly expanded, and the whereabouts of demons have been frequently exposed in this area.
This is also the case even with the large-scale invasion of the three continental regions at the same time, the Zhonghuang Continent and the Southern Demon Region bordering them."
In the square, except for a few old disciples who had already known about it, most disciples looked surprised.
Although they have always been familiar with the matter of the demons and have always been prepared in their hearts, when they suddenly received the news that the demons might invade again, most of the disciples could not control their emotions.
The Great Elder’s voice became solemn: “The Tianji Pavilion in the East Dao Domain observed that the Heaven’s Secret covering the West Demon Territory seemed to be blocked by an external force. Worried that the demons were planning something serious, the Pavilion Master of the Tianji Pavilion led a group of powerful people to plan
Sneak into the Western Demon Territory quietly to investigate.
Our sect also sent elders who were good at lurking to assist him in infiltrating, but unexpectedly they were ambushed by strong men from the Demon Mountain halfway. The team was barely able to withdraw from the Western Demon Territory, and the sect also sacrificed two elders."
If you forget to fight, you will be in danger. Wu Zong's senior officials threw out this unsightly news at this time to undoubtedly alert all disciples.
Sure enough, the square was in an uproar, and even some old disciples were not calm this time.
As we all know, the inside of the Demon Clan is not a solid piece of iron, but is a piece of loose sand on weekdays.
And historical experience tells other races that as long as they unite with the outside world, the demons will quickly form an incredible iron barrel, and their degree of unity is much stronger than other races.
This is also one of the reasons why the human and demon tribes have not been able to completely annihilate the demon tribe.
There have been cases in the past where the sect peak leader led the elders into the Western Demon Territory to slay demons. Generally, they did not go deep into the core area, and if they went in and out quickly, they would not encounter too much obstruction, and the losses each time would naturally be small.
Unless it is during a war, it is extremely rare for two elder-level experts to be injured at one time.
What the great elder said at this time revealed that the demon clan has entered the "iron barrel" operating mode.
To become a sect elder requires at least the strength of the Seventh Realm, and the elders who can be sent to participate in such an important task must be more than just the Seventh Realm.
Besides, he was ambushed on the way!
The disciples vaguely felt that the Great Elder might have omitted some very scary details.
He Gu immediately thought of the scene when he and his master met the pavilion master leading a group of powerful men in the space passage, and realized that the actual situation should be much worse than what the elder said.
He still needs some time to grow, and if a war breaks out at this time, it will not be good news for him.
"The situation in the Western Demon Territory suddenly fell into a fog that makes it difficult to see through..."
After a pause, the great elder's face became more serious, and he continued in a deep voice: "But there are various signs that the demon clan will definitely make big moves in the near future!"
At this point, the atmosphere in the entire square became a little dull.
The great elder suddenly made a loud noise.
"It has been nearly a hundred years since the last large-scale invasion by the demons. Be prepared for danger in times of peace, and before the most likely war breaks out, this demon-conquering trial is the best opportunity for you to sharpen your will!
The future of the sect and the responsibility of the human race rest on your shoulders, I hope you all take good care of it!"
The words of entrustment changed the mood of the disciples below, and all the fighting spirit was gathered together and the momentum surged to the sky.
Seeing this, the great elder showed a satisfied look.
"Let me say a few words." A voice without obvious emotion sounded faintly. On the other side of the high platform, the leader of Wuqing Peak suddenly stood up expressionlessly.
The disciples who were looking forward to the start of the Demon Subduing Trial did not react and were all slightly startled. Then they all looked towards the high platform in unison, and the scene became silent in tacit agreement.
Taking a step forward, Zhu Junzi looked down at the square below, and his calm words were indifferent.
"Half a month ago, my wife Jiang Ling's life jade suddenly shattered and she died in the land of sky fire."
With just one sentence, the whole square instantly exploded.
The disciples in the Qingqing Peak camp were suddenly furious. The leader, Jiang Lintian, looked blank for a moment, a little unbelievable.
Isn’t my aunt in seclusion? Why is she dead?
Like a bolt of lightning passing through his heart, He Gu's heart suddenly started beating wildly.
Half a month ago...the land of sky fire...the supernatural power of yin and yang...killed a person...
Is it just a simple coincidence?
...Whether it is or not, it can only be done from today on!
In front of the Ancestor Hall, several other senior officials and some elders had calm expressions on their faces, obviously they had already known the news.
Wu Daozi still had a kind smile on his face, but he glanced at the back of the Peak Master Wuqing.
Zhu Junzi ignored the reactions of the disciples below: "There is an energy aura that is closely mixed with yin and yang supernatural powers at the scene. The degree of interweaving and fit is beyond ordinary combined forces.
Now in this world, someone with such strength and the tacit cooperation of Yin and Yang spiritual roots can..."
After a slight pause, "Only the infamous Twilight Couple!"
At this point, Zhu Junzi's tone showed a hint of chill: "The people of the demon clan actually regard my sect as nothing, bypassing our sect and going deep into the hinterland of our territory to cause trouble. Such behavior is really rampant!"
