As soon as Yunmo Baitian uttered these words, every cultivator within the Hundred Broken Mountain Range was utterly shaken, eyes filled with extreme shock.
The entire Demon Realm would henceforth follow that figure’s orders unconditionally. It’s hard to imagine such words being publicly spoken by a legendary titan.
The critical point was that the leaders and saints of the Endless Demon Realm chose silence, which suggests that the Demon Realm might truly decide to follow the youth on South Peak, just as Yunmo Baitian stated.
The innumerable cultivators, overwhelmed with shock and disbelief, momentarily questioned what they heard, yet quickly understood the situation.
It’s not entirely impossible; the Sixth-Grade Forbidden Martial Soul is indeed worthy of the Demon Realm’s gamble. If the wager proves correct, the future of the Demon Realm could be limitless. A region that follows the Sixth-Grade Forbidden Martial Soul, so long as the latter doesn’t fall, is bound to one day stand atop the Nanming Dynasty and even the Martial Soul Continent.
However, many cultivators from the Hundred Broken Mountain Range continued to doubt that Yunmo Baitian and his kind would truly lead the entire Demon Realm to follow a mere junior. After all, in the eyes of everyone, although the Sixth-Grade Forbidden Martial Soul does present an opportunity for the Demon Realm to stake a great gamble, it certainly wouldn’t be on a cultivator from the Hundred Broken Mountain Range.
No matter how one spins it, Ye Xiaofan, in the end, is a cultivator raised in the ’Righteous Orthodox Sects’ within the Hundred Broken Mountain Range. They can’t believe the Demon Realm has such courage to place the fate of countless lives on an uncertain factor.
What they didn’t know was that what truly led the Demon Realm to rally was that the figure had the ability to purify the Demon Tree.
If the Sixth-Grade Forbidden Martial Soul is the condition worthy of the Demon Realm’s bet, then the purification ability of the Demon Tree undoubtedly solidifies this condition.
Yet, those unaware in the Hundred Broken Mountain Range were simultaneously filled with astonishment and endless doubt.
"Heh, Celestial Demon, do you think all present are naive children? Just a junior cultivator, albeit one possessing a rare-to-see Sixth-Grade Forbidden Martial Soul, you claim you’ll place the entire future of the Demon Realm on him? Do you think that we are easy to deceive, or do you consider us easy to fool?"
Immediately, an eminent titan sneered disdainfully, not believing that the entire Demon Realm would unanimously follow the youth atop South Peak—that’s too unbelievable, no one would believe such a tale.
Upon hearing these words, many cultivators in the Hundred Broken Mountain Range secretly nodded in agreement. Evidently, compared to the facts, everyone believed that the Demon Realm was deliberately causing confusion among the people or deliberately trying to win over those on South Peak, rather than genuinely integrating the Demon Realm to follow them.
It’s far too unrealistic; the vast Demon Realm, with its accumulated immense power over countless years, saints abundant, and armies of transcendent beings, might not be as powerful as the Hundred Broken Mountain Range but remains formidable enough to challenge it.
Such an astonishing domain, following a ’wet behind the ears’ youth in the Self-Slaying Realm, is truly absurd.
Nonetheless, after these words, Yunmo Baitian calmly withdrew his gaze, silently staring at the titan who spoke, mysteriously smiling as he said: "You’ll soon know whether you’re being treated as naive children."
Having spoken, Yunmo Baitian slowly gazed toward the horizon.
Millions of cultivators in the Hundred Broken Mountain Range were left confused, unable to grasp the meaning behind Celestial Demon’s words, except for the titans of the endless Demon Realm who understood that Yunmo Baitian referred to the news arriving from the borders of the Hundred Broken Mountain Range.
According to estimates, although the speed of news from this world’s borders wasn’t as fast as saints flying at full power, it wouldn’t be much slower; at the very least, it should have reached the Divine Sword Sect.
Indeed.
Following Yunmo Baitian’s gaze, the crowd saw, at the snowy horizon’s end, several figures rushing madly through the skies, looking utterly haggard.
"Hundred Sect Scouts?"
As soon as millions of cultivators saw those figures, their eyes immediately sharpened, clearly recognizing the identities of those racing towards this world.
The Hundred Sect Scouts, tasked with scouting and relaying information, are wind attribute cultivators responsible for speed. Thus, not only do they act as scouts but also as ’communication soldiers’ for various forces across the Hundred Broken Mountain Range, typically stationed at dispersed transmission points and wouldn’t rush anywhere without massive movements.
Before long, amidst the anticipation of all, the scout figures descended upon this realm, initially freezing momentarily as they stared blankly at the overwhelming group of Demon Realm titans, evident shock in their eyes, before loudly reporting towards the Divine Sword Sect.
Originally, the scouts meant to deliver messages solely to the Divine Sword Sect, but given the situation, they felt it better to deliver it publicly.
Thinking thusly, none of them dared hesitate, instantly turning to speak towards the majestic figure atop the Divine Sword Peak.
"Sect Leader, bad news! We’ve just received news from the border at the relay point; the Demon Realm has initiated a full-fledged holy war. Saints are breaching the borders, the army pressing heavily, it’s exceedingly urgent."
After the scout finished speaking, he once again looked at Yunmo Baitian and the others with intense fear, realizing that the message about the saints breaching the borders no longer needed communicating—those concerned were already at close quarters.
However, this scout remained dutiful, knowing that although the breach by countless saints didn’t require reporting, the army pressing on the borders still needed proclaiming to the world.
Immediately, several scouts crushed miraculous talismans, which exploded in the void, transforming into endless secret power to convey an astounding scene.
